Exploiting Hollywood 1980

On the afternoon of the first day of principal photography in Los Angeles for "The Kid," the crew descended on Rio Carrillo State Beach in Malibu. Weintraub obtained permission to film. The state beach was cleared out specifically for the film crew to film.

On the beach in autumn, the wind was blowing a little chilly on me, so Ronald gave the order for the assistant director to start organizing the extras.

Ralph Mazzio, wearing a tank top and bare feet, started playing beach soccer with a bunch of Latino extras from his new apartment. Daniel, played by Ralph Mazzio, began to show off his dribbling skills, rushing left and right in a large group of Latinos, dribbling the ball forward, and no one could stop him.

Suddenly he kicked the ball forward and the ball was a little longer, and his friends rushed to fight for it. You kicked me and I fought for each other, stirring up countless sand on the beach.

The sand flew up and splashed onto the girls sitting in a circle. Daniel was suddenly immobilized, and he stared at the girl in the middle motionless.

"cut!"

Ronald stopped the filming. Ralph Mazio's acting skills are trustworthy and he played the role of a middle school student who falls in love at first sight very well. Director of photography James Crabbe gave a thumbs up to indicate the shot had passed.

The next step was to go backwards and film Elisabeth Shue's character, Ally. .

While waiting for the camera crew to set up the shooting position, Ralph Mazio came over and had a chat with Sue.

He dropped the football and began to bounce it with his feet and knees. "You see, it's very simple. Just do this, one-two...one-two...keep the ball within the range you can catch."

Elizabeth Su looked at Ralph Mazzio, who was teaching seriously, with a smile in her eyes. She stepped forward and squeezed against the jerk-like Ralph, snatched the ball, and quickly took it away.

"Hey..." Ralph Mazio was a little embarrassed when the girl snatched the football away, but he was too embarrassed to go up and grab it back.

Ronald, who was watching from the side, covered his face, why are you such a weakling?

"Hehehe..." Elizabeth Su looked at his innocent look and laughed loudly, "I have been on the school's women's football team since I was a child."

"Oh?" Ralph Mazio put his hands on his hips, "Director Ronald asked me to practice.

"

"I know." Elizabeth Su glanced at Ronald standing far away, picked up the football and kicked it towards Ronald.

Ronald, who was relieved when he saw the two of them resumed their joking, was almost knocked down by a football. He glanced at Elizabeth Su and said with a smile, "Go get ready, it will be your turn later."

This is the third scene in the entire movie, after LaRusso and her son arrived in Los Angeles. Daniel went to the beach to play football with his Latin friends in the apartment and saw Ali, whom he fell in love with at first sight.

In order to ensure the actor's acting skills, Ronald basically shot all the scenes in the order in the script.

The camera was quickly moved. Elizabeth Su put on makeup and wore a one-piece blue and white striped swimsuit, revealing her fair and tender skin. Her weight loss has been somewhat successful, but she still retains some baby fat.

Ronald looked through the viewfinder of the camera and saw that Elizabeth Su was wearing a blue headband on her head that was the same as her swimsuit and was smiling at the camera.

"!"

The next shot begins.

Elizabeth Sue looked sideways at the close-up shot in the direction of the camera.

Ronald, who was standing behind the camera and watching the actor's performance, couldn't help but secretly nod. Elizabeth Sue seemed to have regained her chemical reaction with Ralph Mazio, and the two showed mutual interest in each other's eyes.

The sun, which was about to set, shone from behind the camera. Elizabeth Su squinted her eyes, and a halo appeared on her blond hair.

She looked at the camera, looked at the ground a little embarrassed, then suddenly blinked her left eye with a smile, raised her head and made a face behind the camera.

"cut!"

"Very good, that wink you just did was very good." Ronald immediately went up to compliment him a few times. The girl was attracted and responded. This was a very good improvisation, "But I believe you can do better. …”

"Let's do it again..."

This time Ronald retreated several steps behind the camera, watching the overall composition and the actors' body movements.

Elisabeth Shue looked at Ralph Mazzio behind the camera, made another face, and then broke into a smile.

"Cut!" Ronald felt that this processing seemed to be a little worse than the previous shot. This is always the case when shooting movies. Generally speaking, the first shot has the most full and rich emotions.

"Third scene, second shot, first shot."

After shooting the close-up shot of Elizabeth Sue, the crew immediately moved to the next shot.

The sun was going to set soon. Ronald took the time and instead of applauding everyone to congratulate the completion of the shot, he immediately moved on to the next one.

Elizabeth Sue sat there, and the football ran into her hand. She took the football and threw it to Ralph Mazio.

Ralph Mazio caught the ball with his thighs, then used his legs and feet to move the ball.

Elizabeth Su looked at the ball and pretended to be interested.

Just as Ralph was about to knock the ball away, a Latino extra rushed up as promised and snatched the ball away with his head, "Stop showing off here."

"Who is that one in the blue swimsuit?" After Daniel apologized to Ali, he caught up with his companion.

"The hills (referring to the rich people who live in Beverly Hills)."

"From the mountain?"

"Just the rich ones," the Latin companion told Daniel.

Several girls sitting on the ground over there stood up and went swimming in the sea. Ali, played by Elizabeth Sue, stood up last, pulled up her swimsuit, and walked into the sea. She also looked back at the distant camera and then again.

"cut!"

Ronald was very satisfied. Both shots achieved the desired effect in one take. A scene on the beach is the first time the male and female protagonists meet. They both have a strong interest in each other. This creates a good first impression in the audience's mind.

Especially Elizabeth Sue, in the two looking back scenes, she played a good role in a girl's curiosity about the boy she met for the first time and her desire to continue to understand and interact with him.

"It seems that Ralph Mazio's skills have been recognized by her." Ronald was very satisfied with his skills.

"Everyone go to the tent to rest. We will shoot the rest of the content after dark." The first assistant director picked up the loudspeaker and began to inform everyone.

"Are you telling the truth? Ronald's girlfriend is really Brooke Shields?" Elizabeth Shue and Ralph Marzio walked back from the camera and put on their bathrobes. It's really cold at sea in this weather.

"Didn't you also see it? The National Enquirer published their photos." Ralph Mazzio also whispered, "At Princeton, Brooke Shields even treated our crew members to dinner. That's probably it. Ronald was photographed by the paparazzi when he was taking her back to campus at night.”

"Really?" Elizabeth Su looked back at Ronald who was discussing with the assistant director and others, becoming more and more curious about him. Unexpectedly, Brooke Shields was also captured by him. What is so special about Ronald?

Soon the sun began to set, and the prop team brought a lot of firewood and lit a bonfire. The crew started filming the evening scene.

Here Daniel was encouraged by his Latin friends and bravely went over to meet Ali who was wearing a blue headband. A friend even helped by picking up a football and kicking it towards the campfire.

With a bang, the football fell to the ground. The girls picked it up and handed it to Ali, the most independent and independent person.

Elizabeth Sue picked up the ball and walked towards the camera.

"cut!"

Gu Xie

Ronald directed the camera to change its position, and what followed was a scene where the two male and female protagonists formally introduced each other.

Elizabeth Su finished her makeup touch-up at the scene and walked towards Ronald.

She was wearing a white cashmere sweater and still had the same blue hairband on her head. She saw Ronald talking to an old man.

She didn't know that it was Charles Okun, the associate producer of the show, and she only heard that Ronald and he seemed to have a small argument.

"Why not give Ali a slow-motion close-up? Don't we just need to exaggerate the atmosphere of love at first sight between her and Daniel?" The old man Charles Okun spread his hands and said.

"First of all, Ali and Daniel didn't fall in love with each other at first sight. Daniel had an obvious liking for Ali, but he didn't have enough confidence in pursuing a rich girl. Ali was just curious about Daniel now, and then he wanted to do it for himself and his ex-boyfriend Johnny. It took a big battle to really make Ali take notice of him.

In addition, if you have different opinions, you can raise them when watching the samples, and do not challenge my authority on the set. "

Ronald was very dissatisfied with Charles Okun's behavior of dictating him on the set, but he pointed out his problems in public and had to fight back quickly. Otherwise, if the staff sees that they cannot convince the public, many people will distrust themselves as directors.

This will cause a lot of problems in the subsequent filming. If everyone comes to make their own decision and has to explain it, then don’t be a director. So Ronald quickly issued an explicit threat to Charles Okun.

Charles Okun shrugged, saying he was innocent and just had some thoughts to share.

Ronald waved him away. Then he turned around and saw Elizabeth Su standing next to her, as if she had something to ask herself.

"What? Do you have any questions about the next scene?"

"No, no, I know how to act. I'm actually here to confirm a rumor to you." Elizabeth Sue saw the way Ronald scolded the associate producer just now, and thought to herself that this is the only way to get Brooke Shields.

"What rumors?"

"Are you...are you Brooke Shields' boyfriend?" Elizabeth Sue looked at Ronald, as if to tell whether he was lying from his face.

"What? I didn't, I'm not, who did you listen to?" Ronald was startled, why did the news about him and Poky reach the crew, "Did Ralph tell you? He's talking nonsense. Yes, Brooke and I are just friends, and I directed one of her commercials, just like I directed your chewing gum commercial."

"Oh", Elizabeth Su looked at Ronald's anxious denial and it was funny. Could it be that he really wasn't? But the average American boy, if he has the opportunity to have an affair with Brooke Shields, should definitely take it.

"I didn't listen to what he said, I just...anyway, your agent should be looking for you."

"Director, take a look at this angle." Director of Photography James Crabb asked him to go over and determine the position of the camera.

Ronald, who was confused, ignored the matter and ran to the camera to get busy.

"!"

With the clever arrangement of the lighting engineer, a high-power lamp was hidden behind the bonfire. Generally, campfires are not bright enough and need supplementary light. This kind of light shines like the light of a bonfire, and the audience in front of the screen cannot see the flaw.

"You seem to have dropped something." Ali, played by Elizabeth Shue, held a football and said to Daniel who had the courage to come over.

"Yeah, I hope I'm not troubling you." Ralph Mazzio took the ball and didn't know how to continue the topic.

"That bounce of yours." Ali made a motion of bouncing the ball with her thighs. "Can you teach me how to do it?"

"Oh, that's very simple." Daniel finally explained as he finally reached his strengths, "You start with one foot, and then you can do it with two feet after you become proficient..."

Daniel bent his knees and took turns bumping the ball with his two thighs.

"Then three or four?" Ali actually knows how to play football and deliberately found a topic to get to know Daniel.

"Yes, and then three or four... use the instep, which is more difficult."

The two began to practice bumping the ball intentionally and intentionally.

"You start like this first, and then..."

Daniel is a boy who likes to show off, and he begins to teach Ali various skills. Ali was a little impatient after hearing this. She just gave this stupid boy a chance to get close to her. She took the football...

"And there's this..." He kicked the football out.

"cut!"

Ronald led the applause. He felt that the chemistry between the two protagonists was just right. Not all viewers can feel this subtle emotion. But attentive viewers, or young viewers who have had similar experiences, can't help but smile knowingly when they see this.

Everyone applauded, and today’s progress has been completed.

Only associate producer Charles Okun, who didn't applaud, crossed his arms over his chest as if he wanted to comment.

"Hey everyone, to celebrate the successful completion of today's filming, I prepared barbecue and beer." Producer Weintraub came in and brought a lot of meat and beer.

He took off his sunglasses and had been watching for a long time. At least Ronald's command was light and all the staff were convinced by him. I was also half relieved. Just wait and see Ronald's filming trip to other locations and the samples taken in the morning.

After having some barbecue and beer, Ronald, Weintraub, Charles Okun, Susan Akins and others came to a screening room in Columbia and watched the quickly developed samples.

This is the advantage of large-scale production. The footage shot this morning has been developed and printed by a dedicated person.

The screen flashed over the footage of LaRusso and her son leaving home that Ronald filmed in New Jersey, and the footage of the two pushing the car into gear when the car broke down in front of Princeton.

Then the camera moved to the apartment with three palm trees at the door. Mother Lucille said to Daniel, "Aren't you happy? There is a swimming pool here. Every morning you wake up, roll to the side, and you reach the swimming pool."

"Of course" Ralph Marzio's Daniel very accurately captures a hint of resignation towards his ever-optimistic mother, who is still thinking about his friends in New Jersey. "

The next shot was taken by Ronald and the others in the converted repair room on the first floor of the apartment. Master Miyagi, played by Noriyuki Morita, appears for the first time. He is trying to catch flying flies with chopsticks.

I was impatient when Daniel came to report that the faucet in the apartment was broken.

This is Miyagi's first appearance, and the audience is treated to a trick played by Ronald here. Master Miyagi, a master of karate, appears as a man who speaks without grammar and doesn't seem to care much about his job as a repairman.

Associate producer Charles Okun took out the notes he had taken. He cleared his throat and was about to start talking about Ronald's shortcomings and shortcomings.

Weintraub put his arms around Susan, and the two of them sat in the back, watching the demos affectionately.

The two of them treated watching the samples as if they were watching a movie, turning their heads from time to time to talk, and then kissed each other.

"Jerry, did I leave my phone book in your car, honey?" A middle-aged lady walked in from outside. Walk in the direction of Weintraub.

"Oh shxt!"

Weintraub, who was kissing Susan passionately, saw his wife Jane Morgan walk in quickly. She saw her husband and his secretary kissing each other at a glance.

Jane Morgan shrugged, turned around and walked out without saying a word.

"Jane," Weintraub chased after her.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

Only Ronald looked at Susan Aikins as if he was petrified, then covered his face with his hands, lowered his head, and his shoulders shook silently.
