Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 112 The Top 4 Battle

"Which court am I on? Number three?" Daniel put on Sakura's headband and walked into a sub-field.

"Why is that man kneeling there?" Daniel's opponent had already arrived on the field. He turned his back to Daniel and knelt on the ground as if he was meditating.

"have no idea."

"Don't you know anything you can tell me?" Daniel felt more and more that Master Miyagi was really unreliable. In fact, it was the battle ceremony of the rival school.

"Go ahead, you can score with your hands and feet."

Daniel walked onto the field with fear in his heart.

"Cut!" Ronald was on a big crane, and the director of photography, Karabu, watched the shooting in person.

"No, do it again. Ralph, you have to go faster. Say one, two, one silently."

It’s still the long shot of the three masters and apprentices entering the scene, this time shot from an overhead shot. Maybe it was because Ralph Mazzio was a little tired, and he still couldn't meet the requirements after filming more than a dozen times.

But after all, he was the highest-paid actor in the crew, so Ralph Mazzio nodded and began to get emotional again.

"!"

"Go ahead, you can score with your hands and feet."

"cut!"

At the end of this shooting, the director of photography finally nodded to Ronald. Ralph Mazio walked to the ground, exhausted from the continuous emotional preparation and output.

The manager quickly came up and gave him a glass of water and an energy bar. Ronald noticed that it was not a Coca-Cola product. Ralph Marzio doesn't know why he is particularly resistant to advertising in movies. The last time I asked him to shoot a scene where he was drinking soda from a cup with the Sprite logo in his hand, it took him a long time to ink on it.

"Have a good rest, the rest will be your shots." After Ronald told Ralph, he walked to another field where there was action assistant Darryl Vidal.

Vidal was also wearing a karate uniform and was preparing to fight Ron Thomas.

This shot was originally for Chad McQueen, but he is still trying to wake himself up.

"ha!\

,"Ron Thomas, the second-generation star, used all his strength and rushed towards Vidal to punch.

Vidal squatted down to avoid the punch, then turned around and kicked the opponent in the chest.

"Score!" The referee next to him raised his hand.

"Cut!" Ronald was particularly satisfied with this shot. Vidal's posture is graceful, and he looks like a practicing figure at first glance. On the other five venues, real karate competitions are taking place, and more than half of the audience are relatives and friends of real players. In this way, everyone is watching the competition of their own players, and there is no situation where the whole audience is staring at the camera.

The effect of this shot is very much like Daniel and others participating in a real karate competition.

"Continue!" Vidal had another opponent here, who was also a player from the Cobra Gym. It looks very big, like a mountain of meat.

"!"

Vidal turned around and kicked, hitting his opponent with one kick. His movements were graceful and smooth, making the audience applaud him.

"cut!"

"Pfft", Pat Johnson and several real karate masters from the dojo behind him couldn't help laughing.

"Sorry." Pat knew he shouldn't laugh, but he couldn't help it. In order to look good, Ronald had already ignored the basic principles of martial arts. It would be easy for him to just turn around in front of the enemy and use his back kick to score. The opponent seizes the weakness and attacks.

Moreover, in order to have a beautiful posture, Vidal deliberately performed the back kick very slowly to make it enjoyable for the audience.

The filming here was completed, and Ronald immediately called William Zebka.

He plays Johnny, the previous champion and the number one player in the Cobra Dojo. The movements Ronald designed for him were crisp and fierce.

"!"

The opponent in the first round was a young man who looked pretty good. Johnny was unfazed and even made his preparations casually.

The opponent was frightened by the strength of his defending champion and threw a tentative punch.

Johnny didn't care about the opponent's probing, and caught the opponent's punch with one hand. Then he raised his right foot and hung on the opponent's right arm. He flicked his calf and hit the opponent's head.

"Pa", hit the opponent's head, get three points, and eliminate the opponent with one move.

As the camera swept away, the trio of Daniel, Ari, and Miyagi who were watching the battle clearly understood the offensive style of the Cobra Dojo.

"cut!"

Continuous filming of Johnny defeating the enemy with one move has produced two semi-finalists.

"Ralph, how are you?" Ronald asked Ralph Mazio's condition. After more than a dozen times, could he still concentrate on shooting action scenes?

"I have to take another break." Mazio told the truth, and the manager brought him an exclusive lunch.

Ronald announced the crew's lunch, and he also queued up to get one, sat down with Noriyuki Morita, and ate together with Elizabeth Sue.

"Coca-Cola?" Noriyuki Morita did not appear out of character, still using the broken Japanese tourist English.

"Yeah, I like it very much, and I even bought some of their stock."

"Morita, if you don't make much money, buy some stocks." Noriyuki Morita was still acting cute.

"Is this stock good? I want to buy some too. The crew doesn't pay much." Elizabeth Su also asked next to her.

"I don't know, I just think their dividends are pretty good, four times a year, enough for my living expenses." Ronald shrugged. The salary of the two is indeed not high compared to that of Ralph Mazio. Especially Noriyuki Morita, who only has a measly US$30,000.

"Would you like some sushi?" Morita opened his lunch box. Inside was a loving lunch made by his wife Yuki Morita.

"Ah, so cute." Elizabeth Su also came over. The sushi was made into a cute cartoon pattern. She picked up a piece and ate it.

"Hahaha", Ronald also took a piece. To be honest, it tasted very good. Noriyuki Morita was a blessed husband.

After lunch, rest is over.

Ronald saw that Ralph Mazio's concentration was gradually returning and he was ready to start filming his promotion.

In the first game, Daniel still had a lot of fear in his heart. On the one hand, he had never competed with anyone, and on the other hand, Master Miyagi had no idea about the rules of the tournament, which made him somewhat distrustful of Miyagi's game strategies.

"Hey..." When the other party saw that he was cowering, he thought that Daniel was weak, so he came up and kicked Daniel in the chest.

Glutinous rice

Daniel had quick eyesight and quick hands, and subconsciously used the "waxing style" to defend the kick. But he was kicked back repeatedly by the opponent's explosive power and went out of the sideline.

Master Miyagi supported him, then winked and asked him to go up.

Ali kept encouraging her, "Be strong, Daniel, go up and kill him."

An operator from the motion stabilizer Steadicam company came all the way, held the camera, pointed it at Daniel's head, and turned it 360 degrees. It showed the bottomless mentality in his heart.

"Start!" The referee slashed at the side, signaling both sides to continue.

Then the opponent made another step forward and hit Daniel in the face. As long as such a weakling punches or kicks them in the face, they will cry. Opponents viewed Daniel with contempt.

Daniel began to back away again.

Master Miyagi went up to hold his back and cheer him up, "Remember, defend first, concentrate all your strength on punching, pay attention to balance, and fight well."

Daniel gained confidence from his master and got back on the field to face his opponents.

"cut!"

The Steadicam cameraman indicated that he had captured the necessary footage.

"Go on, prepare for the second scene." Ronald quickly adjusted the camera. This time the action scene between the two did not use a Steadicam, but a static camera.

"Attention, if you go out of bounds for the third time, I will award you a point." The referee played by Pat Johnson said to Daniel. This is his old profession. Originally, Pat was a certified senior referee in karate and tan hand-do.

"Both sides are ready, let's start!" Pat gave the space for the battle to the two players.

The opponent still charged directly, and Daniel was finally no longer afraid. With his extraordinary balance, he swayed to the left, just like when he was practicing on a boat, and avoided the opponent's punch.

He quickly moved to his opponent's side and kicked him in the chest.

Due to the momentum of the opponent's charge, this kick did not exert much force, but it caused a lot of damage to the opponent.

"Daniel, good job, do it again!" Ali cheered from below. Her former boyfriend Johnny was the defending champion, so Ali knew the rules of karate and would also wear a black belt for Daniel.

According to the rules of this Valley Championship in California, a kick to the opponent's chest is worth two points. In this way, as long as Daniel scores again, no matter how many points, he can get three points and win the game.

The opponent rushed over in anger, but Daniel struck back again. He dodged with a piece of flower cloth made from the waves, and hit the opponent's arm in a circle.

Daniel didn't use force, so it didn't hurt, but it caused his opponent to fall to the ground and he was eliminated.

"Cut!" Ronald changed the camera position again,

This time Daniel's opponent was a big black man. Ronald has always been careful to balance race in his films. With the Latino friend Daniel met at the beginning of the movie, and the game before the end, Ronald will not forget to arrange a black opponent for him.

"Hey!" Daniel's confidence grew. He spotted the gap between the opponent's kicks and kicked his front leg faster than the opponent.

"Ah," the black player fell to the ground and yelled.

"cut!"

"There's something to this trick," Pat Johnson said to Ronald. Daniel is a thin boy, agility and balance are his strengths, strength is not. This style of attacking later, using dodge and agility to concentrate on breaking through the opponent's defense, also makes sense in the real world.

"But Daniel's level cannot beat him."

"Hahaha, we are making a movie. It looks like it, and an expert will say it makes sense." Ronald turned the camera and asked the photographer to focus on several people in the Cobra Dojo, including Johnny, Dutch, and their Master Chris.

They also noticed Daniel's success and began to really take this thin boy seriously.

The last game to reach the semi-finals was Daniel versus the Dutch.

After calming down for several hours, Chad McQueen finally stopped having red eyes and seemed to have regained consciousness.

"Can you?" Ronald asked.

"I can do it," Chad McQueen was eager to give it a try. He seemed to have forgotten his excessive impulsiveness.

Weintraub came over and held Ronald's shoulders from behind, "His father is the late tough guy Steve McQueen, and we need to draw on his father's legacy to promote the movie. "

"Okay, get ready." Ronald also knew the purpose of recruiting these second-generation stars to play supporting roles, so that they would be knocked to the ground one by one by Daniel. Young audiences loved watching this kind of counterattack drama.

"!"

Chad McQueen was extremely excited and kept jumping around, as if imitating the moves of his childhood idol Bruce Lee. Take small steps backwards quickly, sometimes with your left foot in front, and sometimes with your right foot in front, changing positions.

"Uncle, uncle!" He imitated Bruce Lee's signature voice, and then thrust his hips forward.

"Cut!" Ronald was furious and stepped forward to give Chad McQueen a slap on the back of the head. "What the hell are you doing! You're wasting everyone's time and film."

Chad McQueen was about to have an attack, but when he saw it was Ronald, he remembered the tragic situation of being subdued by him just now, and he shrank back.

"I can't help myself."

"What are you talking about?" Ronald discovered the reason why Chad thrust out his crotch. The boy had stuffed something in his crotch, which made it look bulging.

"It's a sock. My father said that as long as you tuck it in like this, you will look very masculine on the screen."

"Okay, come on." Ronald shook his head. This second-generation star still thought he was the protagonist.

"!"

"Ah...ah..." Chad McQueen stopped calling uncle. He stepped forward and kicked Daniel in the face.

Daniel used the prepared move to dodge to the left.

Chad McQueen got excited and kicked his foot back to the other side.

"ah!"

The move was not a rehearsed move and Ralph Mazio was kicked in the nose. He covered his nose and squatted down.

His manager rushed up, "Ralph, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," said Ralph Mazio, who was kicked to tears.

He stood up and waved his hands, indicating that he had no big problem.

"You're bleeding." Ronald noticed that Ralph Mazzio's nose was broken. "Doctor, doctor!"
