Exploiting Hollywood 1980

   Chapter 480 All Valley Championship

   In the Cal State Northbridge gymnasium, Ronald is checking out the set for the exterior. A tall portable advertising stand was propped up, and above it was a billboard for the "All Fernando Valley Karate Championships" specially made by the props.

"Not bad, very good, your arrangement is very good. This truly holds a karate championship, and even the contestants and more than half of the audience can perform for free." It was his former boss Roger who praised Ronald. Coleman.

  Ronald specially invited this old friend to make a cameo role as a staff member at the check-in counter.

  Roger Coleman, wearing glasses and a T-shirt with the words "Championship", sat behind the sign-in stage with a gentle manner, like an uncle next door, volunteering for the children of the tournament.

"My investment is 8 million, and it will take a lot of time to light up the stadium. Roger, I know you are very dissatisfied with this set. Don't rush to correct the investor's request."

Ronald knew that Coleman was on TV a few weeks ago, and in an interview, he slammed the big studios for spending tens of millions on bad movies, and there are still many children in America who can't get enough to eat. Unable to receive education.

  Weintraub was a little worried when he learned that Ronald was looking for Roger Coleman to come on.

"Of course, I understand. Your money is spent on filming, and in the end we can see it on the screen." Coleman is not a pedantic person. He looked at Weintraub and quickly stated that he was just here to be a Group performance.

   "This is Mr. Morita Noriyuki, he will play Master Yoda in my movie, and he will correct your pronunciation under the pretext of..."

   "Gong Cen Guild Hall, Daniel LaRusso, what belt?" Roger Coleman slowly found Daniel's name on the registration form and ticked.

   "What's the matter?" Master Miyagi asked.

   "This is a free-entry tournament. In order to avoid the level gap being too large, only players above the tea belt can participate."

   "Black belt, lad is a black belt". Miyagi said.

   "Black belt, Daniel LaRusso. You'd better hurry up, start now, go in, turn right." Roger Coleman lowered his head and ticked the entry form.

  Daniel hurriedly ran in, Ali kissed him, and stepped forward, but when he passed by Master Miyagi, he was grabbed by him.

   Ali stopped inexplicably. Miyagi said to the staff member played by Roger Coleman, "Hello sir, this is Miyagi, not Gong Cen", then he put his hand into the package opened by the staff member and took it quietly. A black belt, and then handed it back to Ali.

  Ali smiled, hid her black belt in her sweater, and ran into the clubhouse.

   "Cut!" Ronald stopped filming at the check-in area, and a few people packed up and walked into the gym.

   "Wow..." As soon as I entered the gym, I felt a heat wave hit. Nearly 1,000 spectators filled the venue.

   Half of them are group performers hired by Weintraub, and the other half are relatives and friends of the players who came to participate in the real "All Valley Karate Championships".

  Director of Photography James Crabbe came up, "I arranged a total of six cameras in the audience." Then he pointed out the positions of the hidden cameras to Ronald.

   In the middle of the gym is a hexagonal table with the trophy of the previous "All Valley Championship" on it. Last year's champion was Daniel's rival Johnny, so below the trophy was the logo of the defending champion's dojo - "Cobra Dojo".

  Under the hexagonal platform, there is a karate competition venue. Several contestants have already started to warm up on it.

Ronald took the microphone from the assistant director, "Hey, I'm the director of this 'Dragon Wedge' movie, Ronald Lee. We'll be shooting some shots during your game. You don't need to worry about us, just play your own game."

   Having said this, Ronald handed the microphone to Pat Johnson, a karate master who had trained actors. In this final battle, he was the referee of the final.

Johnson took it and said it again, with the theme "Don't stop and watch what we're filming. You're going to win prizes, you're going to win trophies, it's a real karate competition, and later you can say you're a karate kid. "

   "Let them warm up first, you take a little shot here to set the mood." Ronald preached to DP Clara.

   Then he turned his head and took Pat Johnson, Ralph Mazio and Elisabeth Shue into the dressing room next to him.

  In the dressing room, the lighting engineer had already come over to set up the lighting. Ronald checked it and asked Daniel to go up and prepare for the shooting.

   "Where are the boys?" Ronald didn't see the second-generation star trio. In the plot, they would provoke Daniel, who was ready to play, here.

   "Chad?" Pat Johnson, their trainer, shouted.

   "Yes, Master!" Chad McQueen and the other two second-generation stars appeared at the door of the locker room with red eyes and a stiff neck. They all seemed to be inhaling something powerful, a little inexplicably excited.

  Ronald didn't have a seizure on the spot, he moved a few actors around and got the cameras rolling.

   "Action!"

  Daniel was wearing a white dao uniform. He didn't know how to fasten the ties and buttons of his oriental clothes, and he was studying it by himself.

"Look who's here, our little one, Danielle...hahaha. What's wrong? Didn't mom get you dressed? Hahaha." Chad McQueen plays the nickname "Dutch" People (Dutch students. He came over and gave Daniel a hard shove.

  Daniel was pushed by him and almost fell. After regaining his balance, he immediately made a gesture of Miyagi teaching, his left hand was raised, and his right hand was tucked at his waist.

  The "Dutchman" also went up and assumed an offensive posture. His eyes were wide open, as if he had endless energy to vent.

   "Hey, I have the strength to wait until the game" Pat Johnson, who played the referee, came over and separated the two of them.

   "Dutch" glanced sideways at the referee and walked up to Daniel. Those powerful ingredients made him no longer afraid of trainer Pat Johnson, who trains them with sore muscles every day.

   He stared at Daniel's eyes and said through gritted teeth, "You boy, listen up. I don't care if I score or not, in short, you are dead today."

   The referee came over and told him to go, "I said, get out."

   The "Dutch" was full of blood, ignored the referee, and pushed Daniel again regardless.

   "Huh?" Ronald knew that Chad McQueen didn't follow the script here, but played it himself. Fortunately, Ralph Mazio did not stop and continued to play with him.

   "You're already dead. Danielle! Ah..." Suddenly Chad McQueen lost control and rushed over to beat Daniel's actor Ralph Mazio.

   "Hey..." Ronald knew that Ralph Mazio's thin body could not stop the opponent from punching, and regardless of the call to stop, he rushed to block Chad McQueen.

   "Ah..." Ronald grabbed McQueen and grabbed his collar. Then he stomped his feet, made him lie down, and finally rode up, locking his neck with his backhand.

   Chad McQueen's face was flushed red, as if he was trying to break free. Pat Johnson stepped forward and helped Ronald hold him down.

   "Where's the doctor? Check him out." Ronald got out and waved the doctor who was preparing to treat the possible sprain in the fighting scene to come over and check the second generation of stars first.

   "Wait, what else does he do?" Ronald asked the assistant director.

   "There was only one cheering scene off the court."

   "Cancel, let Ron Thomas come in." Ronald pointed to another second-generation star next to him.

  Fortunately, the shot just now was really good. Chad McQueen, who was sucking high, threatened Daniel very realistically.

   Shooting continues.

  Daniel was a little afraid of being threatened. He didn't know his karate strength, because Master Miyagi never let him compete with others.

   "Action!"

  Ali, who was waiting anxiously outside the locker room, was holding a black belt in her hand. She didn't know what was going on in the locker room. After so long, Daniel was about to check in.

  The camera slowly zoomed away from her beautiful chest, and standing next to her was the Miyagi master in a suit.

   "Come on, Daniel-san, you'll be playing soon."

  Ali ran over, helped him tie his black belt, and tied a knot in front of his waist.

   "Where did you get your black belt?" Daniel knew that he was not rated and should not wear a black belt representing a master.

   "Given by the Buddha in the temple."

   Master Miyagi urged the two of them to go to the third venue to check in.

   "Wait a minute, a player can only be on the sidelines with one teacher, others must be in the audience." A staff member came over and stopped Ali.

   "He doesn't speak English. If I don't have an interpreter, I can't understand his sideline instructions." Daniel immediately made up a lie.

   "..." Miyagi understood, and immediately spoke a string of Japanese.

   "What did he say?" the staff asked Ali.

   "Uh, he said you look like his uncle in Tokyo."

   "Huh?" The staff smiled, "I don't think it's a problem for you to enter as a translator.

   "..." Miyagi said a few more words.

"What?"

   "Uh, he said you were very kind, thank you."

   The three continued to walk inside, and Daniel asked Miyagi, "What are the rules of this tournament?"

"do not know."

   "Ah? How could you not know?" Daniel was shocked, "I'm finished, I'm finished today."

   "How do I know, it's your first time, and my first time too."

   "No, didn't you have a lot of fights with people using karate in Ryukyu?"

   "That's life and death, it's scoring." Master Miyagi didn't care.

  Ali couldn't get past it. "A hit above the waist, whether it's a hand or a foot, will score points. You can hit the head, chest, abdomen, waist, and back, understand?"

   "I hope I understand." Daniel was a little scared, he had never been in the ring.

   "Comeon, you can definitely get it." Ali squeezed on Daniel's shoulder to relax him.

   "Cut! Good, we're going to take another shot."
