Exploiting Hollywood 1980

   Chapter 475 Chapter 106 Let the stand-in come

   "Hey, how are you?" Ronald finished filming for the day and went home to call Diane, it was late in New York, but she hadn't slept yet.

"Ronnie, you're calling me to ask this, it feels weird, it's like Burt is calling me." Diane listened over there, "I'm fine, Director Coppola is going to ask me to cut it right away. I'm a little reluctant to have short hair. I don't have to call every day in the future."

  The two chatted for a while, Diane yawned a few times, Ronald hung up the phone and started preparing for tomorrow's shoot.

  The news of breaking news came again on TV. In the afternoon, the commander-in-chief delivered a speech at the airport when he took the Marine Corps One (helicopter) to transfer to Air Force One (the presidential plane) for California.

   The commander stepped off the Marine Corps in a dark suit, and his wife, Nancy, was wearing a white dress and a black dress. The two walked to the podium hand in hand. "First of all, we condemn this fighter jet's shooting of civil aviation, which is barbaric. The Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan over the past few years shows that they have no will to stop this barbaric act..."

   "Well... this is a bit strange, why do fighter jets fight civil aviation? If you have the ability to have a fight with America's fighter jets..." Ronald thought.

   The next night, the progress reached the plot where several Cobra Dojo disciples played by the second generation of stars bullied Daniel.

   Several disciples of the dojo, driving a Honda motorcycle, galloped on the dirt road in the mountains, and Daniel was also on this road alone on a BMX.

  Johnny saw Daniel who was eating with Ali in the cafeteria next to him, stepped up the accelerator, and let his companions pass Daniel in relay one by one.

  The frightened Daniel was pushed off the dirt road and rolled down the hillside. He was shattered, and the BMX was deformed.

   "Cut!" Ronald called off the shooting, the stuntman was wearing the same jersey as Ralph Mazio and rolling well.

   Then Mazio also lay on the ground and took a close-up shot that rolled around for a week, so that after editing together, the audience would not realize that this segment was shot by a stand-in.

  The filming went very smoothly, Ronald restrained his edge a little, and the progress began to speed up again.

  Daniel carried the BMX back home, and his face was slid by the dirt road. He was very angry that he could not confront Johnny's group head-on, and threw the broken BMX into the trash can.

   Mother Lucille was very distressed, but Daniel was so annoyed at his incompetence that he had to go back to sleep. On the contrary, Master Miyagi watched secretly and repaired Daniel's bicycle.

  Master Miyagi returned the repaired bicycle to Daniel, and also taught Daniel to trim potted plants. He must first think about what he needs in his mind, and then do it. Daniel gradually began to turn to worship and closeness to Master Miyagi. Such a father's role is what is missing in his life.

  It was Halloween soon, and Daniel had nowhere to go. He went to Master Miyagi's house and saw that Miyagi was cutting Halloween's jack-o-lanterns. Miyagi persuades Daniel to go to school for Halloween parties, but Daniel says he doesn't have the right makeup.

  Miyagi helped Daniel to fulfill his wish to draw a "no one sees his own dress", using copper circles and curtains to make a "person in the shower".

  Daniel came to the party wearing a shower, but was recognized by Ali, who had a good heart, and laughed. She got into Daniel's shower and danced with him, expressing her disgust for Johnny.

  Daniel went to the bathroom and happened to see Johnny rolling grass in the squatting pit. He remembered what Ali said, he also wanted to prank Johnny to get revenge, so he connected the faucet with the water pipe and secretly drenched Johnny with water.

  Johnny was so angry that he found a disciple of the Cobra Gym, played by the second generation of three stars, to chase Daniel. They all dressed in skull costumes for Halloween and chased Ralph Mazio all the way to Daniel's apartment.

   "Cut!"

   After filming the scene of one escape and three chases, it was the first real martial arts scene in the movie. Daniel ran to the barbed wire outside the apartment, but didn't turn it over. He was caught by Johnny and others and beaten, and he was about to faint. Master Miyagi fell from the sky, beat the boy from the Cobra Gym away, and saved Daniel.

   This turning point is about one-fifth of the total length of the film. In drama theory, it is the turning point when the first act of the film is completed and the second act begins.

   It turned Master Miyagi from a repairman into a master of karate, and also gave Daniel the idea to learn karate with Miyagi, preventing Johnny and his gang from continuing to beat him.

  Ronald found Noriyuki Morita's stand-in, the real black belt master of karate, Fumio Demura. This is the moment when Master Miyagi first revealed his true face.

"When we finish filming the scene where Johnny and the others beat Daniel, you climb up the barbed wire from behind, then drop from the sky, hit a few of them, and finally do a karate-ready pose for the camera, so that the audience can see that you are a master of karate. kind of."

   Demura Fumio is the same as Miyagi in the story, he is the real Japanese who does not speak English very well. Ronald finished the shooting requirements in simple language and started shooting.

   Shooting outdoors at night, the headlights are lined up in a row, trying to create the light of the street lights at the entrance of the apartment at night.

   "Recording? Okay"

   "Camera? Full Speed"

   "Action!"

  William Zebka and the second generation of three stars, wearing Halloween costumes with skulls painted on their faces, even Ronald can't tell who they are.

   Several people surrounded Daniel, played by Ralph Mazio, and then started to push him around, and the last one gave him a kick.

   "Cobra's belief, no prisoners." Johnny grabbed Daniel and shouted frantically, venting his anger that his ex-girlfriend was robbed.

   "Leave no prisoners", Chad McQueen, the second-generation star, is the most energetic and loudest.

   Ronald grinned, it must have been fun to shoot like this.

   He raised his hand to the double behind the barbed wire, Fumio Izumura.

   Demura Fumio dressed in Miyagi's repairman's clothes, put on a wig and a fake beard, climbed up the barbed wire three or two times, and then fell from the sky.

   "Ha!, Ha!..." Wennan Demura seemed to have descended from heaven. After jumping off the barbed wire, Chad McQueen hit the ground three times and two times because of the leading actors.

   "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Ron Thomas shouted when his legs got stuck out of the village.

   "Ah..." Followed by Chad McQueen, who was thrown to the ground by a back shot out of the village, begging for mercy.

   "Help..." The last second generation star was Rob Garrison. He saw that the two companions were so badly hit that he simply ran towards the camera.

   "Cut! Cut!" Ronald quickly stopped, "What's going on? How did you guys manage to not follow the position you just took?"

   "Director, going out of the village is too painful. I can't stand it." Ron Thomas has the best martial arts foundation among the three and has practiced before. But even he couldn't stand the heavy hand of leaving the village.

   "No, don't you want to be a star? Why can't you take the pain?" Ronald threw his hat on the ground in anger. This shot started off well, and if they had to endure it for a few more seconds and lie still on the ground, the shot would be complete.

"Director, Mr. Demura does have a heavy hand." William Zebka also came over and complained to Ronald in a low voice, "That foot just now, even with protective measures, it hurts my crotch when he kicked me. "Zebka rubbed his inner thighs with his hands, and his voice changed a bit.

   "Huh?" Ronald looked at Zebka's protective measures. This is a magic weapon handed down from Hollywood Westerns. Actors who are kicked in the crotch will use a rope to fasten the two ankles, and tighten the rope through the trouser leg in the middle.

The    kicked up like this, it looked like it was kicking the crotch, but it was actually kicking on the rope, so the **** were safe.

The strength of   's hands and feet out of the village is too great, even if there is a rope, Zebka still has lingering fears.

   "What should I do then? Can you be gentle, Mr. Out of the Village?" Ronald walked towards the out of the village, where he stood still not knowing what was going on. Ronald told him a few words, but to no avail, he only called Morita Noriyuki and asked him to translate it to the village.

   "Hi, hi..." Morita Noriyuki communicated with Demura Fumio, and said to Ronald, "Demura said that he is already very light, no matter how light it is, it will not have the effect of hitting, and it will affect the reputation of karate."

   "This?" Ronald touched his head, "Is there such an emphasis?"

"Hey..." Morita Noriyuki translated to Ronald again, "Mr. Demura suggested that if he can let his disciples play this scene, he can guarantee it will be successful again. Anyway, the audience will not recognize your skeleton costumes. out who."

   "What do you say?" Ronald looked at the three stars and Zebka. Before they started filming, they also claimed that they were the masters of karate. Unlike Morita, all action scenes had to be doubles.

   "I, let's let Mr. Demura's disciples come."

  They, who suffered a few iron fists, took off their costumes obediently and waited for the disciples who came out of the village.

   "Action!"

   Demura Fumio jumped off the barbed wire again, "Hi!, Hi!,..." He pressed the head of a skeleton man who was about to hit Daniel. Then two kicks brought them down.

After that, he found Chad McQueen's stand-in, caught the foot kicked by the other side with both hands, hit his crotch with a kick, and then hooked his other foot on the ground, the other side was obedient. fell to the ground. After leaving the village, he went up and stepped on his crotch again to make sure that he had lost his combat effectiveness.

   Finally, he went out of the village to find Zebka's stand-in, "Hi!", a back shot, and knocked him to the ground.

  "Cut!" Ronald called off happily. Only a professional karate master like Demura and his disciples can make such a good match.

   "Have you taken it yet?" Ronald turned to look at the second generation of stars.

"Take it, take it," Chad McQueen saw that his eyes were about to fall out. He couldn't help but cover his crotch with his hands in fear. If there were no substitutes, he would have kicked himself twice. crotch.

   "Arigado!" Ronald thanked Wennan Demura in the past. Such a wonderful fight would add a lot to the movie, and it was rare that Demura and his disciples cooperated tacitly, without rehearsal, and the filming was completed in one go.

   "Hi!..." Out of the village said a bunch of Japanese, and then stood motionless.

   "It's ready, Mr. Demura, you can rest. Your scene for today is over." Ronald asked him to rest in the RV.

   "Hi..." He went out of the village and said a bunch of Japanese.

It was one of his disciples who couldn't stand it any longer. He came over and said to Ronald in English, "My teacher's crotch was torn, and it was torn when he exerted force. The seams of this suit were stitched on one side, not too much. prison."

   "Okay, clothing, clothing, give the village teacher a pair of pants... um, bring a blanket."

   Ronald held back his laughter and hurried out of the village to rest.
