Exploiting Hollywood 1980

In the gymnasium at Cal State Northbridge, Ronald examines the exterior set. A tall portable advertising stand was propped up, and above it was a billboard for the "All Fernando Valley Karate Championship" specially made by the prop master.

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

Ronald specially invited this old friend to guest as a staff member at the check-in desk.

Roger Coleman, wearing glasses and a T-shirt with the word championship on it, sat behind the sign-in desk in a gentle manner, like a neighborly uncle, working as a voluntary staff member for the children of the championship.

"This is an investment of 8 million, and it will take a lot of time to light the stadium. Roger, I know you are very dissatisfied with this set, and feel that movies should not pursue the ultimate, but this is all between the studio and Don’t rush to correct the investor’s requirements.”

Ronald knew that Corman had been on TV a few weeks ago. In an interview, he criticized big studios for spending tens of millions to make unsightly movies, while in America there are still many children who don't have enough to eat. Unable to receive education.

Weintraub was a little worried when he learned that Ronald was asking Roger Corman to guest star.

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

"This is Mr. Noriyuki Morita. He will play Master Yoda in my movie. When the time comes, he will give you an excuse to correct your pronunciation..."

"Gong Cen Club, Daniel LaRusso, what belt?" Roger Coleman slowly found Daniel's name on the registration form and checked it.

"What does it matter?" Master Miyagi asked.

"This is a free-to-register tournament. In order to avoid too large a gap in level, only players with tea belts and above can participate."

"Black belt, the young man is a black belt." Miyagi said.

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

Daniel hurried inside, and Ali kissed him,

He also took steps forward, but when he passed Master Miyagi, he grabbed him.

Ali stopped inexplicably. Miyagi said to the staff member played by Roger Corman, "Hello, sir, this is Miyagi, not Gong Sen." Then he reached into the package opened by the staff member and quietly took it. A black belt, and then handed it to Ali with a backhand.

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

"Cut!" Ronald stopped taking pictures at the sign-in area, and the others packed up and walked into the stadium.

"Wow..." As soon as he entered the gym, he felt a wave of heat coming over him. There were nearly a thousand spectators, filling the venue to capacity.

Half of them were extras hired by Weintraub, and the other half were friends and relatives of the contestants who came to compete in the real All-Valley Karate Championships.

Director of photography James Crabb came up and said, "I have arranged a total of six cameras in the auditorium." Then he pointed out to Ronald the locations of the hidden cameras.

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

Under the hexagonal platforms, there is a karate competition venue. Many contestants have already begun to warm up on it.

Ronald took the microphone from the assistant director and said, "Hey, I'm the director of this 'Dragon Boy' movie, my name is Ronald Lee. We will shoot some scenes during your competition. During the shooting When we are here, you don’t have to worry about us, just focus on your own game.”

After saying this, Ronald handed the microphone to Pat Johnson, the karate master who originally trained the actor. In this final battle, he served as a guest referee in the final.

Johnson followed up with another one, and the theme was, "Don't stop and watch what we're filming. You're going to win a prize, you're going to win a trophy, this is a real karate competition, and you can say you're the Karate Kid." "

"Let them warm up first, and you can take some shots here to enhance the atmosphere." Ronald preached to the director of photography, Clark.

Then he turned his head and took Pat Johnson, Ralph Mazio and Elizabeth Su into the dressing room next to them.

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 shooting.

"Where are the boys?" Ronald didn't see the trio of Stars II. In the plot, they would give Daniel a little provocation here as he prepared to play.

"Chad?" Pat Johnson, their trainer, shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Here, Master!" Chad McQueen and two other second-generation stars appeared at the door of the locker room with red eyes and stiff necks. They seemed to have inhaled something powerful and were a little inexplicably excited.

Instead of having a fit, Ronald moved a few actors into position and let the camera roll.

"!"

Daniel was wearing a white Taoist uniform. He didn't know how to fasten the laces and buttons of oriental clothes, and was studying on his own.

"Look who's here, our little friend, Danielle... hahaha. What's wrong? Didn't mommy get you dressed? Hahaha." Chad McQueen plays the character nicknamed "Holland" "People (dutch)" students. He came over and gave Daniel a hard shove.

Daniel was pushed by him and almost fell down. After regaining his balance, he immediately made the gesture taught by Miyagi, with his left hand raised and his right hand collected at his waist.

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

"Hey, if you have the energy, we can wait for the game later." Pat Johnson, who acted as the referee, came over and separated the two of them.

"Dutch" glanced at the referee and walked up to Daniel. Those powerful ingredients made him no longer afraid of coach Pat Johnson, who made their muscles sore every day during training.

He stared into Daniel's eyes and said through gritted teeth, "You kid, listen up. I don't care whether you score or not, but you are dead today."

Gu Hui

The referee came over and asked him to leave, "I said, get out."

The "Dutchman" was so angry that he ignored the referee and pushed Daniel again.

"Huh?" Ronald knew that Chad McQueen did not follow the script here, but acted on his own. Fortunately, Ralph Mazzio did not stop and continued to play with him.

"You're a dead man. Danielle! Ah..." Suddenly Chad McQueen lost control and rushed over to beat Ralph Mazio, who played Daniel.

"Hey, hey..." Ronald knew that Ralph Mazzio's thin body could not block the opponent's heavy punch, so he rushed forward to block Chad McQueen regardless of the call to stop.

"Ah..." Ronald grabbed McQueen's collar. Then he moved his feet and made him lie down. Finally, he rode up and locked his neck with his backhand.

Chad McQueen's face turned red from being suppressed, as if he was trying to break free with great strength. Pat Johnson quickly stepped forward and helped Ronald suppress him.

"Where's the doctor? Check him out." Ronald stepped out and waved the doctor who was originally going to treat possible sprains in the fight scene to come over and check the second-generation star first.

"Does he have any other scenes later?" Ronald asked the assistant director.

"There was only one scene that was cheered by the audience."

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

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

Shooting continues.

Daniel was a little scared by the threat. He didn't know his karate strength because Master Miyagi had never let him compete with anyone else.

"!"

Outside the locker room, Ali was waiting anxiously with her black belt in hand. She didn't know what happened in the locker room that delayed her for so long. Daniel was about to check in soon.

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

"Hurry up, Daniel-san, you're going to play soon."

Ali ran over, helped him put on the black belt, and then tied it in front of his waist.

"Where did you get the black belt?" Daniel knew that he had not been graded and should not wear the black belt representing a master.

"Given by the Buddha in the temple."

Master Miyagi urged them to hurry up and check in at No. 3 venue.

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

"He doesn't speak English. If I didn't have a translator, I wouldn't be able to 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.

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

"Huh?" the staff member smiled, "I think it's okay for you to come in as a translator.

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

"What?"

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

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

"have no idea."

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

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

"No, didn't you have many karate fights with people in Ryukyu?"

"That's a matter of life and death, this is scoring." Master Miyagi didn't care.

Ali couldn't stand it anymore, "If you hit the waist or above, whether it's a hand or a foot, you'll score points. You can hit the head, chest and abdomen, waist, and back. Do you understand?"

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

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

"Cut! Very good, let's change the camera and shoot again."
