When Freddy finished filming, he took out $100 to pay for himself and Demi. Ronald took out 50 dollars and told him that Demi had already paid it. If he wanted to express his love, he could just give the 50 dollars back to Demi. He winked at Demi as he spoke.
Freddie smiled and gave Demi the remaining $50, and went back to the studio to write songs. Demi accompanied Natasha Kinski to her apartment next door to take audition photos.
Natasha Kinski's apartment was rented by director Roman Polanski.
Natasha, who is also a model, is also extremely relaxed in front of the camera. Ronald chatted with her while adjusting the focus and aperture.
"Is Director Polanski very strict when making movies? Does it take so long to shoot a movie?"
"Yeah, sometimes we have to wait a day for a light."
"Tess is a British story. Why did you film it in the countryside of China?"
"Ah, don't you know? The director is wanted by a California court and cannot go to the UK to film. He will be extradited. Fortunately, there are some rural areas in the southern part of the country that are very similar to Dorset in the UK where the story takes place."
"Are you German? Your English is very good."
"Hahaha, I have some talent for imitation, so I can imitate several accents in English, French, and Russian."
The camera frame covered Natasha Kinski's face, with a pair of almond-shaped eyes and sharp eyebrows that are usually reserved for men. This combination of eyebrows and eyes is just like Natasha herself, full of contradictory temperament, sexy, innocent, and noble appearing on the same face at the same time. Having caught the biggest feature of her face, Ronald immediately started taking pictures.
After taking a set of photos, Natasha insisted on changing her clothes before taking another photo. Ronald took the opportunity to ask Demi, "Why is Director Polanski wanted by the California court?"
"Because he seduced a 13-year-old girl, he jumped bail and absconded a few days before the trial."
"When did this happen?"
"About this time last year."
"Oh, I was still in the countryside of New York at that time." Ronald, who worked hard, didn't watch much TV.
Demi briefly explained the ins and outs to Ronald.
It turns out that Roman Polanski was a Polish director who later came to America to make movies and made several high-quality films.
In 1977, he was accused of seducing a little girl with drugs. Due to insufficient evidence, the judge and lawyers reached a plea bargain at the end of the trial and sentenced him to probation.
Who would have known that while Polanski was on probation, he went to the UK to shoot a new movie and was photographed by reporters drinking with many beauties, some of whom were still very young. Public opinion was in an uproar, and the judge was prepared to revoke his probation and sentence him to prison for serving his sentence on the grounds of misconduct during probation. A few days before the verdict, Polanski ran away by plane.
From then on, Polanski could only live in the country for a long time. He could not go to any place that had an automatic extradition agreement with America, such as the United Kingdom and Canada.
"You know, just a few days before he ran away, he invited me to his house for dinner. I went with my mother at the time, and he also said that he would let me be an actor in his movie. Let me Go learn Method acting.”
"So have you joined the Screen Actors Guild?"
"Not yet. Movies shot in Hollywood must ensure that at least 57 union actors are hired. I can only have a chance to take over if an actor is sick and fails to show up."
"But I heard that actors can apply for membership as long as they can earn a day's salary?" Ronald asked.
"That's not the case. Generally, our non-union actors cannot sign such a daily or weekly contract. We can only wait for the opportunity on the set. If an assistant director chooses you to be an extra, he will give you a time ticket. , indicating that I have hired you for one day. Only after accumulating three coupons can you apply for the Screen Actors Guild."
"That shouldn't be difficult, right?" Ronald was a little surprised. According to reports, the two sexy dancing beauties on the set of "Rock and Roll High School" had been filming for more than three days, so they should be able to apply for the union, right?
"No, the Screen Actors Guild does not look at your time stamp to approve membership, but looks at whether the crew has given you the minimum wage stipulated by the union. They will give the salary list to the union, and the union will make statistics based on the list there. .”
Ronald recalled that he had done the job of asking actors to sign to confirm the duration on the "Rock of Ages" crew. It turns out that these forms determine the fate of the extras. If you are lucky enough to enter the form three times, you will be able to enter the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild family.
As for the two dancing beauties, well, it seems that no form was made for them. Thinking about it this way, it's quite a pity. I didn't expect that the production assistant also has some important powers.
"Then why can Natasha Kinski join the Screen Actors Guild? I saw that she was the heroine of 'Tess', so I guess she must have joined the Screen Actors Guild."
"Because director Roman Polanski is dating her and directly signed her as the heroine, she can take the first path you mentioned and join the union as soon as she officially signs the contract one day. This kind of opportunity depends entirely on the director's appreciation..."
Demi Moore seemed to suddenly remember something. She rolled her eyes, brushed her long black hair with her left hand, and smoothed it behind her ears with her fingers. "Ronald, you said you will join the Directors Guild soon? Then you will Can you make a film independently?”
"I don't know, this business is difficult. The director of our crew spent five years getting $300,000 to make this small production." Ronald shrugged.
"Then, when you join other crews in the future, don't forget to recommend me?" Demi said.
"That's the casting director's job, but if I had the opportunity, I would."
"You're such a good guy, Ronald."
Demi hugged Ronald again, this time tighter and more intimate than the last friend-like hug.
"You two are really Superman and Lois!" Natasha changed her clothes and jumped into the room.
Demi Moore's expression remained unchanged, "Ronald just promised me that he would give me the opportunity to fill in the timetable when he goes to the new crew." She also laughed as she said that.
Demi smiled very cutely, her nose wrinkled slightly and rippled, then disappeared on her fair face with a little baby fat. Just like the spring breeze blowing across the pond, it left a vague trace in Ronald's heart.
"Oh, poor Demi, you had a chance to join the cast of 'Tess' directly, but it's a pity that the little guy didn't sign a contract with you, so he ran to the country."
Natasha Kinski said, tilting her head and giggling. Her laugh was very soft, and her long pale blond hair, which she kept for the "Tess" shoot, rippled, revealing her swan-like neck with elegant curves, a style that was different from that of American girls.
The filming continued, but Ronald's mind wandered a bit.
Natasha Kinski has not hesitated to call Polanski a "dwarf" in front of Demi Moore. She probably feels that she is on the verge of her prime. After "Tess" is filmed and released, she will become famous and there will probably be no shortage of director invitations in Hollywood.
Taking another look at the camera viewfinder, I saw a very innocent yet lustful beauty. Knowing that Polanski has a bad reputation with women and that he is already in his forties, she is still willing to be his girlfriend. Why is it not to become a movie star? Could it be the dwarf's extraordinary masculine charm?
Ronald couldn't help but straighten up. Fortunately, I'm six feet two, which is 1.88 meters in metric terms, right?
There is also Demi Moore here, who also eats with the dwarf. She is smarter than Natasha and takes her mother with her. If Xiao Chao hadn't been wanted, he would have almost entered the entertainment industry.
The beauty's yearning for the film industry is like a moth at night that sees the candlelight in the room through the glass window. They keep bumping and bumping, trying to create a miracle, break through the glass window and rush into the world inside. That circle.
99% of beauties cannot open that window. Some of those that were knocked away immediately threw themselves into the candlelight and fell. Only those with luck, talent, and hard work can dance under the candlelight.
Ronald said to himself, "You have to work hard to become a director and make your own movie. Then you can select the real butterflies, put them in, take care of them, and bloom on the stage for a while."
Besides, I am six feet two tall. Isn’t that much stronger than the short Polanski?
