Exploiting Hollywood 1980

  Chapter 652 Deputy Commander's Helicopter

   "This is our new heroine, Tomita Tan Ling."

   "This is the new villain, Yuji Billionaire."

   "These two are..."

   "No need to introduce these two, Miyagi-sensei and Daniel, hahaha, I took my granddaughter to see the first one."

   Ronald accompanied the deputy commander George Sr., who was temporarily staying in Hawaii, and his wife Barbara to visit the shooting site, and introduced the main creators by the way.

   "Cheese!"

  The photographer of the crew took a group photo of the two protagonists, Ronald, Weintraub, and the deputy commander and his wife.

   The deputy commander did not make a special trip to Hawaii, but went to Tokyo to meet with Prime Minister Nakasone as the special envoy of the commander-in-chief.

  The original White House chief of staff James Baker and Treasury Secretary Donald Reagan switched positions. James Baker, who has always advocated being tough on Japan, did a big thing immediately after taking office.

   He convened the finance ministers of the five major industrial countries in the West to hold a meeting to discuss the devaluation of the US dollar against other currencies, such as the Japanese yen, the franc, and the mark and the British pound.

  European countries are actually mentally prepared for this agreement, and America has been blowing at the G5 meeting.

   It is Dongying who is really dissatisfied with the devaluation of the dollar. As emerging industrial countries, they have been occupying a large market share in trade with the United States. If the dollar appreciates significantly against the yen, it will have a relatively large impact on Japan's economy.

  Although on the other hand, the appreciation of the yen is beneficial to people going abroad for consumption, buying foreign imports, and entrepreneurs buying foreign assets. However, this is undoubtedly a very big change for Dongying entrepreneurs who have long relied on high-quality and inexpensive products to occupy the American market.

  James Baker is more of a politician than a treasurer requiring professional competence. He was too tough on Japan, causing a great backlash within the Eastern Ying government. In particular, the chief officials of Tibet Province tended to break down in negotiations.

   The deputy commander went this time to ease the relationship and strengthen communication.

   As a rare deputy commander in American history with some real power. Old George has a lot of autonomy. This time he stayed in Hawaii and asked the Marines for a helicopter to bring them from the airport to the set.

After the    vice commander and his wife visited, they sat on the set and had coffee with Ronald and Weintraub.

  The couple dresses casually, without the news media, they just wear ordinary clothes. Barbara just wears a light-colored dress, T-shirt, jeans, and glasses for her husband, just like two old couples who run a farm.

   "Ronnie, I heard about the 'good thing' you did at Camp David, ahahaha..."

  Barbara, full of white hair, was laughing backwards and forwards.

"I'm just doing Spielberg a favor." Ronald knew that Barbara was talking about Back to the Future. When the first lady Nancy was embarrassed to see the name of the chief commander's ex-wife mentioned at the Camp David screening thing.

   "Did you see her face at that time?" Barbara felt really relieved. This little Ronald is really interesting. Nancy is always proud of being a Hollywood actress and supporting each other with the big commander. This time, the scandal that the chief commander divorced his wife and married her was revealed a little bit, and let's see how she will act like a lady in the White House in the future.

  "Barbara", Old George stopped Mrs. "Ronald, I don't have much time, how many times do you need the helicopter to go around?"

   "Four laps at most, no...three laps." Ronald saw the wink from Weintraub and immediately lowered the shooting requirements of the helicopter borrowed by the lieutenant commander.

   "George, Ronnie just wants to take a few more shots. It won't delay our trip to Tokyo, so let him take good shots." Barbara looked at Ronald, like her own children and nephews, very fond of him.

   "Our wife is the one who really gives the order." Old George muttered.

   "Hahaha..." Ronald and Weintraub hurriedly joined in on the fun.

  The second couple had a very busy schedule. After coffee and snacks, Barbara pulled Ronald over and took two pictures with her and her husband, and they turned to board the helicopter.

   "After all, she's still a woman." Ronald said in a low voice, looking at Barbara's back.

  Although Barbara was born in a prestigious family, well-educated, very personable and self-cultivation, she was the most popular among the wives of the previous vice commanders.

   But Barbara is a woman after all, a woman who has been bullied by the First Lady all the year round, a woman who has to swallow her voice for her husband's future.

  So in front of Weintraub, especially Ronald, she completely exposed her disgust for Nancy.

   "Attention from all departments, we only have three chances, everyone is ready."

   The helicopter the deputy commander was riding was the Marine Corps No. 2. The propellers began to accelerate and the helicopter took off slowly.

   "Action!"

  The two cameras of the photography team started to shoot at the helicopter.

   "Marine Two, very well shot. I need your acceleration on the second lap to fly over our heads."

   Ronald radioed the helicopter pilot and gave him orders.

   "Marine 2 received, it's over."

   "Boom boom boom..."

  The helicopter quickly flew over the head of the film crew, the director of photography gave Ronald a thumbs up, and the second lap was also very good.

   "Marine Two, I need you to lower your altitude and circle around us. Uh... it's over."

   "Marine 2 received, it's over."

   On the third lap, the helicopter lowered its altitude and flew around the camera not far away.

   "Ronald, let them slow down, the camera can't pan and can't keep up." DP Crabbe shouted.

   "Marine No. 2, Marine No. 2, can you reduce the speed by half and do another lap."

   "Lieutenant commander-in-chief student? The secret service personnel on the helicopter asked old George's opinion. The promised three laps have been flown.

   "Prime Minister Nakasone is still waiting for us in Tokyo. They have already taken a lot of pictures." Old George put on his glasses and read the briefing of the Ministry of Finance.

   "George, Ronnie managed to borrow a helicopter. Just let Mr. Prime Minister wait a little longer. One more circle as Ronald asked."

  Barbara took the idea for old George.

   "Whatever... let them hurry."

   "Boom boom boom..." The helicopter circled again at a slow speed.

   "Very good, very good, I caught it all." Crabbe was very excited. The helicopter pilots this time were very skilled, and several flying movements were neat and neat, with the style of the US military.

   "Okay! Thank you for your help, and thank the Deputy Commander for me, student and madam." Ronald said ok to the radio.

   Then he raised his hands and extended his thumbs, thanking the helicopter.

   "Bye!" Barbara waved to him on the plane.

  …

"Tomita, the next shot is you and Daniel kissing and making love. Daniel is an American boy who likes to complain, but he is not so confident in his heart. Facing the very beautiful Kumiko, he has ideas but dare not act. .

   Therefore, in this scene, you are the one who knows the mentality of the two more clearly. Show a little impatience at critical moments. Hint Daniel to act as soon as possible. "

   "I know", Tomita Tan Ling's savvy is extraordinary, she thought about it for a while, and then she knew how to play it later.

   "It's a pity that it has a Japanese face." Ronald thought to himself, there are not many roles in Hollywood suitable for her.

   In this scene, Daniel and Kumiko were in a small wooden house by the sea. Kumiko wore a traditional kimono and used traditional techniques to perform a tea ceremony for Daniel, and offered tea bowls with both hands.

   This etiquette is done by wives to husbands in Dongying.

  Daniel drank tea and fell in love with Kumiko. But he didn't know what the customs of Ryukyu were, and whether young men and women also fell in love like America.

  The camera is now behind Ralph Mazio, over his shoulder, for a close-up reaction shot of Tommy Tan Ling.

  Daniel put down the tea bowl, and Kumiko smiled happily. This American boy is not as hot as in Hollywood movies.

   Tomita Tan Ling's grasp was in place. She smiled happily at first, and when she saw the other party put down the tea bowl, she thought that the long-awaited kissing session was coming.

  But Daniel just stared at Kumiko blankly, as if he was going crazy.

   Tomita Tan Ling turned and the smile gradually disappeared. She waited for a few seconds, then started blinking quickly. The other party was still as unresponsive as a log.

   Tomita Tan Ling's expression turned to anger, and her smile was completely closed. However, it wasn't that Daniel was not interested in himself, but he looked a little helpless.

   She was a little impatient waiting, she pouted, stretched out a hand and gently took off the hairpin on her head, shook her body from side to side, her wonderful eyes seemed to be able to speak, "What are you waiting for? Daniel-san!"

   "Cut!"

  Ronald was very satisfied. Seeing Crabbe signalling that it was okay, he immediately instructed the assistant director, "This line will be printed."

  Ralph Mazio was also brought into acting by Tomita Tan Ling, and he looked at Ronald.

   Ronald nodded his approval to him too. The two have excellent chemistry in front of the camera. In fact, to be honest, Daniel's character is more in tune with an oriental, reserved girl like Kumiko, played by Tomita. He and Ali, played by Elizabeth Sue, always have a bit of personality conflict.

  The camera was repositioned next to the two of them, facing the two of them, taking pictures of the coconut trees and the beach outside the window.

   "Are the blowers ready? Let's try the lightning machine."

  After hours of lighting and waiting, Ronald finally got a cloudy day under cloudy weather.

  Ronald gave the order right away, and seized the opportunity to shoot this turning point in the film's turn to the third act.

   "Action!"

  The camera is steadily facing the two lovers, they slowly got up from their kneeling positions, gradually approached, and finally kissed together.

  The heads of the two were slightly deflected, and there was no direct shot of kissing. If you want to get a PG rating for this kind of teen kissing scene, you still need to pay attention.

   Ronald gestured, and the camera gradually began to pull back. The faces of the two of them kissing together were just hidden by a hanging oil lamp.

  The two kissed together, one second, two seconds.

   Ronald counted the time and gave the assistant director a gesture.

  The assistant director immediately knocked on the walkie-talkie.

  The blower outside the door started to blow at full force.

   Several powerful blowers began to blow strongly against the coconut trees, creating a feeling of a typhoon day.

   "Whoosh..."

   The props used a small fan to fan the oil lamp, and the oil lamp went out.

   The assistant director immediately tapped the code twice on the walkie-talkie.

   "Kara..."

   An extremely bright light flashed, and the sky outside the window was illuminated.

   "Cut!"

   "Very good!" Ronald was very satisfied.

   The rhythm of the performance of the two actors was very good. The typhoon caused by the blower felt a little bit, and the 80,000-volt lightning light also gave the two leading actors a clear signal. The two looked frightened and suddenly separated.

  The shooting is getting better and better, Ronald has more and more feelings for the romantic love scenes of the two leading actors in the sequel.

   "Would this be too...too 'subtle'?"

   Weintraub secretly asked Ronald while watching the demo. American boys and girls have long stopped reading Jane Austen's novels, and they are afraid that they will not understand such a subtle and warm feeling.

   "It doesn't matter, this kind of love model is also considered an exotic style. The audience will like Daniel to soak up beauties with different personalities. Anyway, the kiss scene and the hero saving the beauty at the end are still American."
