Exploiting Hollywood 1980

   Chapter 748 Regain the feeling

   "Patrick, you must sit in the back and remember to wear your seat belt."

  Two weeks passed quickly, and the filming of the scene at Shanhu Villa was over. Ronald begins to confirm all the transition sequences.

The big team and the crew went out with the big bus rented by the crew, and the equipment was taken away by the trucks that the crew always had, and some individuals came by car. Ronald also allowed them to drive to the location of Groway Park in Asheville, western North Carolina. .

   For these actors who drive by themselves, Ronald will personally ask about safety issues.

   "Don't let Pat leave the car, you have to work harder." Ronald instructed the staff member who was picking up the car for Swayze.

  Finally, Ronald got on the big bus himself, went to the last row, lay down on the chair and fell asleep.

   "Ah... huh..."

   "Here, Ronald, here."

   Screenwriter Eleanor came over to shake Ronald, who was exhausted and snoring.

   "Ah, it's already here?"

Groway Park in North Carolina was originally a Boy Scout base, and there are many small cabins that have not been demolished, just as the living place for the dancers. The set team has repaired the house in the early stage and painted it with white paint. Then make it old.

"The mountain and lake villas here and in Virginia originally belonged to the borscht belt, and they were all Jewish vacation circles in Eastern Europe and Russia." David Chapman, the location designer, was very reliable, and introduced Ronald to various places. Happening.

   "There is Lake Lure over there, you can shoot scenes in the lake." Chapman pointed to a distant lake and said to Ronald.

   "We'll go and see the scene later." Ronald, who was very concerned about the scene, told Chapman.

  Chapman has already promised that after filming the film, he will sign with Daydream Pictures and continue to serve as the location designer for his next movie "Moonlight".

   Ronald picked up his luggage and went to the hotel to check in first. This is a Lake Lure spa hotel not far from the park. In autumn, it is also the off-season price, and the whole package is down.

   Ronald picked out a single room and put away his luggage. Gave a $20 tip to the waiter.

"Thank you, sir, are you here to shoot adult movies? We have had a crew here before to shoot. When the time comes, you'll find the movies you guys made in the video store, right?" The waiter put away the money and asked Luo with a smile. Nader.

   "What? Adult movies?"

   Ronald was surprised how it was rumored that it was an adult film.

   "Isn't your name DirtyDancing? I thought... sorry, sir." The waiter realized that he had misunderstood and quickly apologized.

   "What's the matter? Emil, come to my room."

   Ronald asked his assistants and found that there are indeed many people who misunderstood DirtyDancing as an adult movie. It was privately rumored that they were going to shoot hot springs, holiday cabins, and the natural wilderness by the lake.

   "North Carolina is like this. The folk customs are conservative, but the more conservative you are, the more curious you are about similar works of art."

  Come over and explain to David Chapman, who went to the scene with Ronald.

   "If you want to change other people's opinions and don't want them to watch, you might as well get a fake movie name and change all the name brands of the crew."

   "I don't have the time, and I don't have the money to make a brand again." Ronald got angry, took a movie brand, and threw it on his lap.

The    sign broke in the middle, and Ronald threw the half that said "Dirty" on the ground, "Let me know, in North Carolina, our movies are collectively called 'Dancing'."

   After watching the scene, Ronald was very satisfied with the work of David Chapman. The railings here are all built in the white style of the Virginia Mountain Lake Resort.

   On both sides of the road leading to the hut where the dancers live, there are half-person-high white street lamp poles, which Chapman imitated according to the street lamps of Mountain Lake Villa.

   At least in the lens, there is not much difference between the two places.

   "Action!"

   That afternoon, Ronald started work.

   "Hey, it's so cold here."

   Unlike Virginia, which is hot like summer, the weather in North Carolina is already like late autumn.

   Jennifer Gray, who plays Baby, is wearing a shirt, jeans underneath, trouser legs rolled up, and a pair of white flat shoes. A gust of wind blew and shivered.

   She started dancing to the rhythm of Mambo on a wooden bridge with white railings that continued down the aisle down the mountain.

  Jennifer Grey has no dance training like other actors, her dance level is almost a beginner, so this scene is also a true character.

   "Ah ah..."

  Grey didn't jump well, and with the cold wind blowing, she became anxious, and kicked against the white wooden railing.

   "Cut! Very good. Let's have another one." Ronald thought, that was the kind of performance he wanted. Baby collected enough money for Penny for the operation, and offered to replace Penny and partner with Johnny to perform Mambo in another hotel.

   In order to dance that hot body dance with his sweetheart, Baby is willing to do anything.

  Ronald asked his assistant to bring a wool blanket and Grey to put it on.

   The frustration caused by this real practice of difficult dance moves is very real, and it is also the effect that Ronald wants to achieve by not letting Gray practice dance.

  Grey went to the trailer, put on a pink vest and denim shorts, and came out to continue shooting.

   "Action!"

  Grey practiced dance moves and climbed the stone steps on the mountain road step by step.

   "Cut!"

   Ronald hurriedly asked Gray to rest in the trailer.

   The temperature is not even 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius), and the cold wind blows even more trembling.

   "Patrick?"

   Ronald called Swayze, who was going to be filmed below.

   "Huh..." Jennifer Gray gave the back of her head again.

   "Oh Shxt!"

  Ronald threw the baseball cap with the words "DirtyDancing" printed on it, and "Dirty" had been taped off by a special tape that sticks to textiles.

   "I have to fix this right away."

  Ronald called Patrick Schwytz and Jennifer Gray into a room, locked the door, and asked Emile to guard the door, not allowing anyone to approach.

   This kind of thing must be resolved privately.

   "Truth Time, what's the matter with you two?"

   "I have no problem, Jennifer doesn't seem to be able to stand the real life." Swayze was also angry when he came up, Jennifer was not clear enough about work and life.

   "How did you tell me when you were auditioning? You said you were going to have a romantic love story with me." Gray was also on fire.

   "I..." Swayze didn't expect Gray to take what he said at that time seriously, it was just the atmosphere at that time.

   Ronald is also angry with two young boys and girls. What is the difference between this and the jealous rivalry between high school football players and cheerleaders?

"You guys can tell me exactly, can you act?" Ronald thought about revising the script. Now it's definitely not possible to change roles. If the two are so awkward, they have to reduce their roles and give Cynthia more. screen time.

   Lowered the mainline love story of Johnny and Baby, and added more plots of cynthia feminism, pregnancy, and calling the shots.

   "I can absolutely, I can get back to the state of audition." Swayze was anxious, the director must have a very bad mind when he said this. It was difficult for him to have a play with an absolute protagonist. He likes this feeling, and he can also sell his songs as a piggyback.

   "I...I..." Jennifer Gray only felt aggrieved and her eyes were red.

   It's not that I didn't want to play well, it's that Swayze went back on his word... lied to himself. And during the filming, I also knew the news that my father was ..., I didn't know whether to be angry or funny for a while.

  These men are all liars.

   "Okay", Ronald didn't feel good when he saw the heroine crying.

   He turned around and opened the luggage. After searching inside for a long time, he finally found a videotape.

"This is the videotape of your audition at the time, and I've kept it. How good was your chemistry at that time? With one like this, it's not easy to get a chance to play such a good script. I believe that after the release, young audiences in America will remember it. Live your dance.

   Don't let them down, OK? "

  Ronald shoved the tape into the VCR in the room, and after a snowflake, there was a tacit shot of Gray and Swayze auditioning.

   Almost as soon as he saw their chemistry, Ronald took a fancy to them and gave up Sarah Jessica Parker's backup.

  Grey held her cheeks in her hands, still ignoring Swayze, she was watching the TV, how close she and Swayze were. Although this guy likes to talk big, make out-of-place jokes, and sometimes doesn't take acting seriously enough, he's really handsome.

  Switzer also glanced at Gray secretly. Although this girl is average, she is still very attractive when she is emotional, and her figure is also top-notch.

  Ronald watched the two of them carefully, and saw that their hands were getting closer and closer, and finally they were held together, he was relieved, and hurriedly opened the door and went out.

"Damn, I feel like a..." Ronald lit a cigarette and smoked around the corner with assistant director Emile and screenwriter Eleanor, waiting for the hero and heroine in it to get back to each other a feeling of.

   Finally, after more than half an hour, I watched the audition video of the two repeatedly. Patrick Thwaites and Jennifer Gray walked out of the room hand in hand again.

   "I've talked to Jennifer, and there's no problem with the next rivalry," Switz said to Ronald.

  Jennifer Gray was still a little shy, in front of everyone, she took her hand out of Swayze's hand

   "Hmm..." Gray's cheeks were still a little red, he just nodded without speaking.

   "You rest early, tomorrow morning will be your play."

  The two protagonists left, Eleanor and Emile came up to congratulate Ronald.

   "Stop talking, I'm so tired, you guys should rest early."

  Ronald closed the door, turned off all the lights, and lay in bed by himself.

   In order to make a successful film, he invested his wealth, and it can be regarded as any trick.
