Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Brother and sister Brad and Stacey; Mark Ratner, who has a crush on Stacey; Mark's good friend, Mike Damon, who got Stacey pregnant; and Stacey's best friend, Linda Barrett.

The main plots of these five characters are relatively close. Ronald arranged a plot of about 60 minutes. The plots of other characters are relatively scattered. How can I select a few characters with more plots and add them to the remaining 20 minutes? It takes some thinking to fill up many minutes and interact with the five main characters.

Thinking about the racial quotas for the characters in "Famous," Ronald called the author Cameron Crowe to discuss which characters should be retained, and other minor roles should be eliminated, leaving only a few lines.

The result of the discussion was to retain one Italian, one black, and one Jewish.

The Italian-born student character Jeff Spicoli is good at surfing, but has a low IQ and is a bit silly.

A black man, Charles Jefferson, was tall and strong, joined the high school football team, was a star player, and had the talent to play professional games.

A Jewish teacher, Mr. Hand. He teaches American history.

Spicoli, who is Italian, is at the center of these secondary characters.

Once he and his friends smoked too many cigarettes, stole the black Jefferson's car, raced on the road, and crashed it. Jefferson vented his anger on the opponent's offensive players in the next game and kept a clean sheet in a key game.

Mr. Hand was dissatisfied with Spicoli's lateness, eating in class and other off-line behaviors, so he kicked him out of class and vowed not to let him graduate.

In the end, when Spicoli failed history and was fined from attending the prom, Mr. Hand went to his home to give him tutoring lessons and finally gave him a C grade so that he could graduate and attend the prom.

These characters all interact with the five main characters. For example, when Brad Hamilton captured the robber in the convenience store at the end, Spicoli happened to go to the convenience store to buy something and helped Brad.

Arrange all the plots on the card solitaire, not too much, not too much, just enough to fill the 90-minute plot.

With the plot line and various details in mind, Ronald wrote quickly on the typewriter.

As Ronald tapped the keyboard of the typewriter, the keys of the cast metal letters hit the ribbon one after another, printing black letters one by one on the manuscript paper. Lines of words were formed on the manuscript paper. With a ding sound, the typewriter Moved to the end position.

Ronald pushed the connecting rod with his hand.

The roller containing the white paper returned to its original position, and the roller was pushed down exactly one line, and the new words appeared at the beginning of the next line of manuscript paper.

The sheets of manuscript paper were removed from the typewriter and replaced with new white paper. Soon the typed manuscript paper thickened little by little.

Ding!

A few nights later, as the last line of the sentence on page 91 was typed, the first draft of the script was completed. Ronald rearranged the 91 sheets of manuscript paper and placed the first cover page at the top.

On it was the title of the play: "Fast-Pace Richmond High."

Story: Cameron Crowe.

Screenplay: Ronald Lee, Cameron Crowe.

Looking at the results of several days of hard work, Ronald was very satisfied. He picked up the manuscript paper, clamped it with a big clip, and flipped through it at will.

After discovering a few spelling errors, Ronald stood up, moved his body, took a thermos, and made himself a pack of Lipton black tea.

After smelling the aroma of black tea, Ronald put the tea aside for the time being. Half-lying on the three-person couch, he closed his eyes and rested. After a while, you can gather your energy, check for spelling errors and grammatical errors, and you can complete the first draft.

Ronald thought, after more than a month of conceiving the plot, he was actually constantly thinking about the drafts of each character and plot development. Unexpectedly, after he started writing, he actually finished it in one go...

After days of intensive typing and revision, Ronald never had a good rest.

Ronald, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly felt exhausted. His eyelids felt heavy and his head paused twice involuntarily.

He wanted to reach for the black tea and take a sip to refresh himself, but his hands seemed to be looking forward to rest and could not reach out. Ronald lay down on the sofa, and soon fell asleep.

When Ronald opened his eyes in the darkness, he seemed to be in a small movie theater again, and the familiar words "FBI warning" appeared on the screen again.

Are you dreaming? Could it be that "Fast-paced Richmond High" would be the third movie in his dream?

The words "Universal Home Video" lit up on the screen, and two lines of subtitles appeared on the screen: "Fast-paced Richmond High, 15th Anniversary Edition."

It is indeed this movie. "Huh? This movie actually had a commemorative video tape released 15 years later?" Ronald felt something vaguely. Didn't this perfectly match his dream? A movie that people will still watch twenty years from now.

The screen went dark, then lit up again. A starry sky background was moving rapidly, and an Earth appeared on it. A line of logo "Global" appeared on the earth, and below it was a line of small characters, a company owned by mca.

The music started playing, and the title "Fast-paced Richmond High" appeared on the screen again.

Ronald struggled to open his eyes and take in the details of the movie. Those scenes that were filmed? Is it the same as his script choices? Which actors were chosen? What shooting techniques were used?

However, the feeling of sleepiness made his eyes close involuntarily.

Vaguely hearing the movie still playing, Ronald struggled to open his eyes. Two children wanted to buy tickets for a Van Halen concert and walked up to a man who looked like a scalper.

"I heard that you have tickets for Van Halen's concert? How much do the seats in the first ten rows cost?"

"Twenty dollars a piece."

"The original price is only 12 yuan and 50 cents."

"Then you're going to buy it?" Scalper replied stiffly.

"Forget it, I heard that other places have sold out the tickets, so I'd better buy it here. After all, it's a Van Halen concert."

"Okay, two."

This scalper is Mike Damon, a kid from a poor family who works as a scalper to earn living expenses, right? The actor they chose is really good. He looks like a poor kid.

Ronald thought about it and fell asleep again.

After an unknown amount of time, Ronald was woken up by the sound. Someone seemed to be quarreling on the screen. An old man who looked like a teacher asked seriously to a stunned young man who had just entered the classroom.

"Why are you late for history class this time?"

The camera pans to the student, and Ronald realizes he knows the actor. During the casting process for "Blue Lagoon", what was the name of the actor who was abandoned because he was not tall enough to play Brooke Shields despite having a temperament very similar to Tarzan in every aspect?

"I just can't make it on time, Mr. Hand."

"You mean, you can't, or you don't want to?"

"I don't know...there are long lines to buy food."

There was a burst of laughter below, and someone was saying, "This kid has been smoking like crazy since he was in third grade."

"If you have something to eat, take it back to your home to eat. Don't eat it in my class." The teacher named Hande was obviously angry. He continued:

"Why are you always late for history class, Mr. Spicoli? Why are you always wasting my time so shamelessly?"

Spicoli was stunned for a while, "I don't know!"

"That's great, Mr. Spicoli." History teacher Hand was stunned by Spicoli's stupidity. "That's a good answer. In the future, you ask me, Mr. Hand, can I pass the history class? I Just answer, I don’t know! Mr. Spicoli.”

Is this the actor who plays the Jewish teacher Mr. Hand and the Italian student and surfer Spicoli?

They did a great job, especially the one who played Spicoli. Ronald tried his best to remember his name. It seems that instead of acting, he has become a silly Spicoli.

what do you say that is? By the way, it seems to be called Sean Penn.

Ronald remembered the name of an actor who conveyed very strong emotions to the audience during his performance—Sean Penn.

This memory seemed to use up Ronald's remaining energy. He felt very sleepy and fell asleep again.

The video tape played for a long time, and Ronald saw many scenes in a daze, but they were all in a state of half-dream and half-awake, leaving no memory.

He just felt a little cold and reached for the covering.

"Wow! Plop!" It seemed like someone was diving into the swimming pool.

Ronald seemed to feel the chill. When he opened his eyes, a tall man dressed as a pirate appeared on the screen.

Is this Brad Hamilton, the protagonist who works part-time at Captain Hook's Fish and Chips?

Ronald had just written a story about Brad being fired from Burger King, and in order to pay off the car mortgage, he went to work at Captain Hook's fish fast food restaurant, which he hated, and put on a pirate-style costume to deliver food. Eighty percent of these actors were playing Brad. .

"Stacey, do your parents know you are having a party at home?" Brad asked the girl in the water.

"It's okay, Mark and Mike, they are both my classmates."

Sure enough, they are brother and sister Brad and Stacey.

"Hi Linda" Brad greeted the other girl across the pool. This is Stacey's best friend Linda.

The camera cut to Linda, a girl with black hair and big eyes, wearing a bright red bikini, appeared on the screen, waved and greeted Brad, "Hi, Brad."

"Can you please keep your voice down? I still have homework to do." Brad said to Linda, lifted the curtain and entered the room.

As the camera turned, Brad entered the room, secretly opened the window, and stared at Linda standing by the pool. It turned out that he had a crush on his sister's friend Linda.

He began to imagine himself and Linda falling in love. Linda poked her head out of the swimming pool, water drops falling from her beautiful face, smiled sweetly, and said affectionately to Brad, "Hi, Brad."

"You know I've always thought you were handsome?"

As she said this, Linda pulled the handrail and climbed out of the swimming pool. It was unclear whether it was raining lightly or someone was pouring water into the sky. Thin and dense water droplets gently hit Linda's face and body in a swimsuit. .

The girl looked at Brad lovingly and stretched her hands to her chest...

Suddenly the image on the screen jumped, followed by a second of blank horizontal white stripes. The voice also suddenly paused. The scene jumps to Linda kissing Brad, who is wearing a fine suit.

"No, what's going on? Why does the videotape seem to be broken at the critical moment?"

"ah……"

Ronald became anxious and fell off the sofa.

"Ah...ah sneeze"

Ronald woke up from his dream and found that he had caught a cold because he slept on the sofa without a quilt.
