Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"This is our new heroine, Tomita Tam Ling."

"This is the new villain, Yuji Yiben."

"These two are..."

"These two need no introduction, Mr. Miyagi and Daniel, hahaha, I took my granddaughter to watch the first part."

Ronald accompanied the deputy commander George Sr., who was temporarily staying in Hawaii, and his wife Barbara to visit the filming site, and introduced the main creative staff by the way.

"cheese!"

The crew's photographer took a group photo of the two protagonists, Ronald, Weintraub, and the deputy commander and his wife.

The deputy commander did not come to Hawaii specifically, but went to Tokyo to meet with Prime Minister Nakasone as the special envoy of the commander-in-chief.

It turns out that White House chief of staff James Baker and Treasury Secretary Donald Regan swapped positions. James Baker, who had always advocated toughness against Japan, immediately did a big thing after taking office.

He summoned the finance ministers of the five major Western industrial countries to hold a meeting to discuss the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against other currencies, such as the Japanese yen, the franc, the mark, and the British pound.

European countries have actually been psychologically prepared for this agreement for a long time, and America has been blowing the whistle at G5 meetings.

Japan is really dissatisfied with the depreciation of the US dollar. As emerging industrial countries, they have always occupied a large market share in trade with the United States. If the U.S. dollar appreciates significantly against the Japanese yen, it will have a relatively large impact on Japan's economy.

On the other hand, the appreciation of the yen is beneficial to people going abroad for consumption, buying foreign imported goods, and entrepreneurs buying foreign assets. But for Japanese entrepreneurs who have long relied on high-quality and low-priced products to occupy the American market, this is undoubtedly a very big change.

James Baker is more like a politician than a finance minister who requires professional skills. He was too tough on Japan, causing a huge backlash within the Japanese government. In particular, the head of the Ministry of Finance has a tendency to break down negotiations.

The deputy commander went this time to ease relations and strengthen communication.

As one of the few deputy commanders in the history of America who has some real power. George Sr. had a lot of autonomy. This time he stayed temporarily in Hawaii and asked the Marine Corps for a helicopter to fly them from the airport to the set.

The deputy commander and his wife finished the tour and sat inside the set.

Had coffee with Ronald and Weintraub.

The two couples were dressed casually. There was no news media, so they wore ordinary clothes. Barbara wore a light-colored dress, a T-shirt and jeans, and her husband wore glasses, just like two old couples running a farm.

"Ronnie, I heard about the 'good things' you did at Camp David, hahaha..."

Barbara had white hair and was laughing so hard.

"I'm just doing Spielberg a favor," Ronald knew Barbara was talking about. When Back to the Future was being screened at Camp David, first lady Nancy was embarrassed and angry when she saw the name of the commander's ex-wife was mentioned. things.

"Did you see her face at that time?" Barbara felt really happy. This little Ronald really knew what was going on. Nancy was always proud of being a Hollywood actress and supporting each other with the boss. This time, the scandal of the commander-in-chief's divorcing his wife and marrying her was exposed a little bit, and we will see how she can still act like a socialite in the White House in the future.

"Barbara," Old George stopped the lady, "Ronald, I don't have much time. How many times do you need the helicopter to fly up there?"

"Four laps at most, no...three laps." Ronald saw Weintraub's look and immediately lowered the shooting requirements for the helicopter borrowed by the deputy commander.

"George, Ronnie just wants to shoot a few more scenes. It won't delay our trip to Tokyo. Just let him take the photos." Barbara looked at Ronald as if he were her own nephew, and she was very fond of him.

"Our wives are the ones who really give the orders." Old George muttered.

"Hahaha..." Ronald and Weintraub quickly joined in the fun.

The second couple had a busy schedule. After having coffee and snacks, Barbara specially pulled Ronald over to take two photos with her and her husband, and then they turned around to take the helicopter.

"After all, she is still a woman." Ronald looked at Barbara's back and whispered.

Although Barbara was from a well-known family, well-educated, very graceful and well-educated, she was the most loved by the people among the wives of previous deputy commanders.

But Barbara is a woman after all, a woman who has been bullied by the first lady for many years, and has to swallow her words for the sake of her husband's future.

So in front of a caring person like Weintraub, especially Ronald, she completely exposed her dislike of Nancy.

"Attention all departments, we only have three chances, so everyone should be prepared."

The helicopter the deputy commander was riding was Marine Corps Two. The propellers began to accelerate and the helicopter slowly took off.

"!"

The two cameras of the photography team started shooting at the helicopter.

"Marine Two, great shot. I need your acceleration on the second lap to fly over our heads."

Ronald radioed the helicopter pilot and gave him orders.

"Marine Two received, over."

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The helicopter quickly flew over the heads of the camera crew, and the director of photography gave Ronald a thumbs up. He also caught the second lap very well.

"Marine Two, I need you to lower your altitude and circle around us at a low altitude. Uh... over."

"Marine Two received, over."

On the third lap, the helicopter lowered its altitude and flew around the camera not far away.

"Ronald, tell them to slow down, the camera can't pan and can't keep up." Director of Photography Crabbe yelled.

"Marine Two, Marine Two, can you slow down by half and do another lap?"

"The deputy commander, the special agent on the helicopter, asked old George for his opinion. The promised three laps have been flown.

"Prime Minister Nakasone is still waiting for us in Tokyo. They have already taken a lot of pictures." Old George put on his glasses and read the briefing from the Ministry of Finance.

"George, Ronnie managed to borrow the helicopter with great difficulty. Just let Mr. Prime Minister wait a little longer. Then make a circle as Ronald asked."

Barbara made up her mind for old George.

"Whatever... tell them to hurry up."

"Boom, boom, boom..." The helicopter circled again at a slow speed.

"Very good, very good, we caught them all." Crabbe was very excited. The helicopter pilot's skills this time were very superb. Several flying movements were crisp and neat, very much in the style of the US military.

"Okay! Thank you for your help. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Vice President, for me." Ronald said hello into the radio.

Then he raised his hands, thumbs out, and thanked the helicopter.

"Bye!" Barbara waved to him on the plane.

…

"Tomita, what I want to shoot next is the scene where you and Daniel kiss and fall in love. Daniel is an American boy who likes to complain, but he is not so confident in his heart. Facing the very beautiful Kumiko, he has ideas but dare not act. .

Therefore, in this scene, you are the one who understands the mentality of the two people better. Show a little impatience at critical moments. Cue Daniel to act quickly. "

"I know." Tomita Tan Ling's understanding was extraordinary. After thinking for a while, she knew how to act later.

"It's a pity that he has a Japanese face." Ronald thought to himself that there were not many roles suitable for her in Hollywood.

In this scene, Daniel and Kumiko are in a small wooden house by the sea. Kumiko is wearing a traditional kimono, using traditional techniques to perform a tea ceremony for Daniel, and offering a tea bowl with both hands.

This etiquette is done by wives to their husbands in Japan.

Daniel drank tea and became more and more fond of Kumiko. But he didn't know what the customs were in Ryukyu, and whether young men and women also fell in love like America.

The camera is now behind Ralph Mazzio, over his shoulder, taking a close-up reaction shot of Tam Ling Tomita.

Daniel put down the tea bowl, and Kumiko smiled happily. This American boy is not as enthusiastic as in Hollywood movies.

Tomita Tan Ling's grasp was very good. She smiled happily at first. When she saw the other party put down the tea bowl, she thought that the long-awaited kissing session was about to come.

But Daniel just stared at Kumiko blankly, motionless as if in a daze.

Tomita Tan Ling's smile gradually disappeared. She waited a few seconds, then started giving quick wink cues. The other party was still as unresponsive as a piece of wood.

Tomita Tan Ling's expression turned to anger, and her smile completely disappeared. But it wasn't that Daniel wasn't interested in him, but he looked a little at a loss.

She was a little impatient with the waiting, curled her lips, stretched out a hand to gently remove the hairpin from her head, swayed her body from side to side, her wonderful eyes seemed to be able to speak, "What are you waiting for? Daniel-san!"

"cut!"

Ronald was very satisfied. Seeing Crabbe indicating that it was OK, he immediately instructed the assistant director, "This one will be printed."

Ralph Mazzio was also inspired by Tam Ling Tomita's acting skills, and he looked at Ronald.

Ronald nodded in approval. The two have great chemistry in front of the camera. In fact, to be honest, Daniel's character is more compatible with an Eastern-style reserved girl like Kumiko played by Tomita. There is always a bit of a personality conflict between him and Ali, played by Elizabeth Shue.

The camera was relocated next to the two of them, facing them, and captured the coconut trees and beach outside the window.

"Are the blowers ready? There's also a lightning machine to try."

After several hours of lighting and waiting, Ronald finally arrived on a cloudy day.

Ronald immediately ordered and seized the opportunity to shoot this turning point in the third act of the film.

"!"

The camera steadily focused on the two lovers. They slowly stood up from the kneeling position, gradually, gradually got closer, and finally kissed each other.

The two people's heads were slightly turned to avoid filming the kiss directly. To get a pg rating for this kind of teenage kissing scene, you still have to be careful.

As soon as Ronald gestured, the camera gradually began to pull back. The faces of the two kissing each other were just covered by a hanging oil lamp.

The two kissed each other for one second, two seconds.

Ronald calculated the time and gave the assistant director a gesture.

The assistant director immediately tapped the intercom.

The blower outside the door started blowing at full force.

Several powerful blowers began to blow powerfully at the coconut trees, creating a typhoon-like feeling.

"Huhu..."

The prop used a small fan to fan the oil lamp, and the oil lamp went out.

The assistant director immediately tapped the code on the intercom twice.

"Kala..."

A burst of extremely bright light flashed, and the sky outside the window was illuminated.

"cut!"

"Very good!" Ronald was very satisfied.

The two actors performed at a very good rhythm. The typhoon caused by the blower was in place, and the 80,000-volt lightning lamp also gave the two leading actors a clear signal. They looked frightened and suddenly separated.

The filming was getting better, and Ronald was getting more and more excited about the romantic love scenes between the two leading actors in the sequel.

"Isn't this too... too 'subtle'?"

Weintraub asked Ronald secretly while watching the samples. Boys and girls in America have stopped reading Jane Austen a long time ago. I'm afraid they won't be able to appreciate such a subtle yet passionate feeling.

"It doesn't matter. This kind of love model can be regarded as an exotic style. The audience will like Daniel to pick up beauties with different personalities. Anyway, the kissing scene and the hero saving the beauty at the end are still American-style."
