Chapter 230: Talents are Rare
The black Cadillac arrives at the gate of Warner Studios, Ronan sees Paris Hilton waiting at the door through the window glass, asks David to stop, and asks Finch to call Paris Hilton.
Los Angeles in early January wasn't very cold, much warmer than the ice and snow in New York, but Ronan couldn't help but shudder when he saw Paris Hilton's short skirt and body shirt tightened.
Paris Hilton got into the car and greeted, "Good afternoon, Ronan. ”
"Good afternoon, Paris. Ronan reminded, "Close, we're going to the studio." ”
Paris Hilton asked curiously, "Didn't the studio let the car in? I just took a taxi and didn't let me in." ”
"I'm a big client of Warner Studios," Ronan said. ”
Cadillac entered the studio, and did not need to change to a battery car, and drove directly towards the studio area.
Shahai Entertainment has cooperated with Warner Studios many times, and no one will stop Ronan's car, for most of the Warner Studios where the studio is idle, the crew that can be stationed in the shooting is God.
Paris Hilton asked, "Ronan, can I sign the crew today?"
"I'll tell you about the process. Ronan said as simply as possible: "Paris, you need to go through the audition process first, and then the crew will set up a file for you, and after passing the audition, we can sign the contract." ”
Paris Hilton was a little excited, a little nervous, and said, "Is that a hassle? Can I pass the audition?"
Ronan said with a smile: "I am the producer, and I have the highest authority in the crew. ”
Paris Hilton immediately understood, grabbing Ronan's arm hard, "You're going to let me through the audition, right?"
Ronan smiled and nodded.
Even if Paris Hilton's audition is bad, he will sign it, "House of the Dead" is not afraid of bad actors, especially bad actors like Paris Hilton, what he is afraid of is that there is no topicality.
Before coming to the studio, Ronan took Paris Hilton directly to the director Uwe Bauer and asked him to arrange an audition in the studio.
Someone in the crew took Paris Hilton to the dressing room, but Uwe Ball was very obedient and personally directed the crew to set up a temporary camera.
Uwe Bauer looked at the dressing room and asked, "Ronan, who is this girl? ”
Ronan didn't have the need to hide it, and said directly: "Paris Hilton, the little princess of the Hilton family, wants to be an actor and a star." ”
"That Hilton family in New York?" Uwe Bauer is also well-informed.
Ronan nodded: "That's right, it's the Hilton family who opened the hotel." ”
Uwe Ball gave Ronan a thumbs up: "You're still amazing! Even the daughter of the Hilton family can be found to be an actress!"
He couldn't help but wonder if Ronan had one or several legs with this daughter?
Ronan changed the subject and asked, "Are the preparations going well?"
"It went well. Uwe Bauer seems to be very satisfied with everything: "I can start filming at the end of this month, and I can finish filming in only half a month! ”
He rubbed his hands together and asked, "Ronan, can this film enter the theater?"
"Of course, I've already had people make theatrical release plans. Ronan didn't flicker, what he said was true: "Otherwise what would I ask Paris Hilton to do? ”
Uwe Bauer is a terrible director, but he also knows a little bit about the film market, saying, "She's our focus?"
Ronan nodded, "Hmm." Uwe, give her a little more close-up when shooting...... Well, it's better to arrange a few more controversial scenes. ”
"Don't worry!" Uwe Bauer understood Ronan's intentions, "It's on me." ”
If nothing else, as a rookie director, Uwe Bauer is full of confidence.
He doesn't know where his directing level is.
When Ronan was waiting for Paris Hilton to come over for an audition, he was still thinking about one thing, after the release of "House of Death", Uwe Bauer will be scolded by film critics for being bloody, should people secretly contact several media outlets and put the name of the king of bad movies on Uwe Bauer?
Then provoke Uwe Ball to pit the critics against him, and maybe it can lead to a crazy "angry little treasure" boxing match.
If Uwe Ball and film critics fight openly in the ring, it's hard to talk about it without breaking the ground.
Use Paris Hilton to create a topic, attract the attention of theater companies, let them open more picture theaters, and then use Uwe Bauer to create a breaking point, causing a sensation......
Will "House of the Dead" be a box office hit?
Ronan was afraid that he had forgotten, so he hurriedly called someone to bring a pen and paper, wrote it down briefly, and put it away seriously.
Of course, this is just an assumption, and it will depend on how much "House of the Dead" is criticized, as well as Wubao's anger value.
Even if you don't use it this time, you can wait until next time.
As long as the business operation is appropriate, even a director like Wu Bao who is so bad at home will have a very great value.
It didn't take long for Paris Hilton to come out and stand in front of the camera, smiling like a flower.
Ronan asked her to introduce herself, and found a script to read a line, maybe she had the experience of being a model, Paris Hilton's camera sense is okay, at least she can't help but look at the camera like ordinary people.
I can't help but look at the camera when shooting, which is a common problem of people who have not been systematically trained, and it is also the most unbearable for the director.
That means that the actor is an amateur at all.
Although he was sure to sign Paris Hilton, Ronan was still very serious about the audition requirements, and when Paris Hilton finished reading the lines, he asked Uwe Ball: "What do you have for her to do?"
Uwe Bauer thought for a moment and said, "Miss Hilton, you can act out the fear when you encounter zombies. ”
Paris Hilton nodded, and when Uwe Ball shouted, he let out a piercing scream and ran around with his head like a headless fly......
"How's it going?" Ronan asked in a low voice.
Uwe Bauer shook his head slightly: "The level of performance is terrible. ”
Ronan nodded: "It's relatively poor." ”
A bad actor with a bad director and a bad movie, a perfect match!
"For the sake of the Hilton family, take this actor. Uwe Ball seemed to give Paris Hilton a lot of face, first shouted to stop the audition, and then asked Ronan: "The Hilton family has so many properties, can you let them sponsor some? ”
Ronan shook his head: "Don't think about it so much. ”
is such a bad movie, and the Hilton family is not stupid, that is, Paris Hilton has been willful since she was a child, as long as she doesn't make too many problems, the elders in the family don't care much about her.
Having said that, Ronan thinks that Uwe Ball is also a talent, and he wants to fool people into investing at every turn.
When he first met Uwe Ball, Ubao fooled Tony Koch, then took advantage of the situation to fool him, and now he wants to fool the Hilton family's funds.
Is this guy a waste of being a director? Or is this director pointing out the wrong talent?
Thinking that Wubao made so many bad movies in his previous life, and he could still raise funds, in addition to Germany's film tax rebate system, his own ability and the thickness of his face cannot be ignored.
It's definitely a talent.
Ronan briefly discussed with Uwe Ball, and said to the camera: "Miss Hilton, the audition is over, and you passed this audition." ”
"Really?" said Paris Hilton, smiling with joy on her face.
Ronan said to her again, "You go and remove your makeup and change your clothes first, I'll wait for you in the producer's office." ”
Paris Hilton nodded busily: "I'll go now." ”
Before Ronan went to the producer's office, Uwe Bauer advised: "The crew has a limited budget, so you should save on the salary." ”
"Don't worry. Ronan waved his hand: "Just like other young actors." ”
Arriving at the producer's office, Ronan waited less than fifteen minutes before Paris Hilton hurried over.
"Thank you, Ronan. Paris Hilton grabbed Ronan's arm: "You gave me the opportunity to be a star." ”
Ronan smiled and said, "Calm down, Paris. Now let's talk about the contract, do you have an agent?"
Paris Hilton said: "My modeling agency is in New York. ”
"It's not a modeling agent, it's a licensed entertainment agent," Ronan said. ”
"Nope. Paris Hilton was a little anxious: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll just sign a contract with the crew." ”
Ronan asked, "Are you eighteen?"
"Yes. Paris Hilton nodded.
Ronan thought for a moment and said, "I'll let people prepare the contract." One thing, let me make you clear in advance, your salary is only $3,000......"
Paris Hilton wanted to make sure of this: "No problem. ”
Ronan didn't bother to say more, so he had an actor contract sent in and the crew's legal counsel at the same time, and then signed a formal actor contract with Paris Hilton.
After signing the agreement and sending the lawyer away, Ronan prepares to leave the crew.
Paris Hilton stared at Ronan, "How can I thank you?"
Ronan smiled and said, "You're welcome. ”
"Well......" Paris Hilton said sincerely, "why don't I invite you to dinner tonight?"
Ronan glanced at the time and politely declined, "I'm sorry, Paris. Not today, I'll have something to do later. ”
Paris Hilton frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied in her heart, but Ronan had just been given a role, and he didn't have much to say.
Ronan explained simply: "I have a friend who comes to Los Angeles and will pick them up at the airport in a while. ”
"Oh well. Paris Heard said generously, "I'll make an appointment with you another day." ”
After leaving Warner Studios, Ronan first sent Paris Hilton to Beverly Hills, and then to Los Angeles International Airport, where Angela Lindwow had already called him and would be in Los Angeles tonight to attend the Golden Globe Awards in American TV and Movie two days later.
