Exploiting Hollywood 1980

After finishing filming in Oahu, Hawaii, the crew returned to Hollywood.

Weintraub rented two large studios, No. 15 and No. 16, of Warner Bros. in Burbank, and renovated them into the parking lot where Daniel won the championship in the first movie, and the final scene of Daniel and Daniel in the temple in the second movie. The arena where Chang Shan’s final showdown takes place.

"Jerry, I didn't know you had acquaintances at Warner Bros.?" Ronald was pleased with the set. Weintraub calculated his accounts very clearly. He would rather spend more money to rent several studios at the same time and decorate them together to wait for the crew, rather than having expensive crews to wait for the sets.

"It's nothing, their price is cheap." Weintraub said with a smile, looking proud of the Jews.

"Martin, William!"

Ronald was very happy to see the two villain actors from the first film again. Martin Kove, who plays Chris' coach, and Johnny, who plays Ally's ex-boyfriend and loses in the finals with Daniel.

"Hello, director. How do we need to position ourselves? Are there any scenes we need to be careful about?"

"It's very simple. It's not a problem for you at all. It's just that Martin wants to break the car window glass with one punch, and I've already had people modify it with special glass for stunts."

Two unknown newcomers saw their income soar after filming "The Dragon King". In addition to the constant invitations, the two also accepted many advertisements using their characters in Longwei Boy. This movie brought them a lot, so when they saw Ronald who chose them, they all respected him very much.

"Rob, Ron, Chad," Ronald high-fived the three second-generation stars who played the Cobra Dojo students in the first film.

They don't really care about the income the movie brings. What they care about is the feeling of being famous. Although the three of them don't have many scenes, their arrogant attitude makes the audience recognize them everywhere.

"Sweep Tang's legs!"

"Prepare body bags."

"Take no prisoners!"

…

No matter where the trio went in Los Angeles, there were enthusiastic audiences repeating their iconic lines from the first film.

"Director, we have too few scenes in the second part. Will there be more scenes in the third one?"

Chad McQueen is the leader of the second generation of stars. He carelessly asks questions that everyone cares about.

William Zebka, and Martin Kove, also listened carefully to what Ronald had to say.

"Haha, you have to ask the producer Mr. Weintraub about this. He has the final say."

Ronald laughed and did not give a definite answer.

"ah……"

Noriyuki Morita posed toward Coach Chris, played by Martin Kove, with one hand on his chest and the other hand gesturing to hit him.

Martin's face showed fear, regret, and other complex emotions.

"cut!"

Ronald is still very satisfied with Kove's professionalism. Nori Morita doesn't know any martial arts, but Kove is a master of karate. When the two of them are together, the audience can feel Kove's oppressive muscles.

In this way, Mr. Miyagi can still suppress the opponent, which is very helpful in creating the image of Miyagi as a great master.

Hug all the actors one by one and say goodbye. Their brief appearance in the second sequel ended. The crew moved to a nearby studio to continue filming the final scene of the final duel between Daniel and Chang Shan on the ring in the shrine.

"You know what? They all told me that the sequel is like a cookie cutter. Just use the mold of the first film and fit it into the sequel. It's just that the actors have to pay more."

Weintraub said with a sigh. Ronald lived up to his expectations and made the sequel quickly. Moreover, the quality of the shooting was guaranteed. He watched the samples every night when he had the opportunity. The quality was improved compared to the first film.

Ronald heard the cookie cutter and couldn't help but think of Aunt Karen.

When she was making biscuits, and when she wanted to make biscuits with special shapes such as hearts, small animals, etc., she would take out a set of molds made of bent metal sheets. Use a mold to put a set on the biscuits and you can quickly get the shape.

"Maybe, but it's hard to make cookies for the sequel. At least they have to be bigger, more fragrant, and preferably have different flavors."

"Yeah, let's see what more interesting action scenes Daryl Vidal and Pat Johnson can come up with in the last fight."

Weintraub is also a smart guy and has seen quite a few sequels. The stereotyped characters and stereotyped plot are equivalent to repeating the story of the first blockbuster movie over and over again, and then slightly adapting it here and there, hoping that the audience will not notice it.

The audience's appetite will grow bigger and bigger. The Crane Kick in the first film will definitely not be able to meet the audience's expectations. They must be given a more powerful and magical trick.

Darryl Vidal is the only action director who knows Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do. So just like in the first movie, Ronald was asked to design and perfect the final trick.

"In Jeet Kune Do, the concept of continuous punching is to rotate the upper body with the waist as the axis. Use one hand to resist and resolve the opponent's attack."

Vidal is teaching Ralph Mazzio how to learn common moves in this Chinese martial art.

"For example, if you hit me and rotate around your waist, I can change your straight punch to a side angle, and use this hand to pull it aside. In this way, your center of gravity will be deflected, and my The other hand can take the opportunity to attack your empty front."

"So...?" Ralph Mazio imitated Vidal's movements.

"The trick is not to stay away from the opponent's direct punch attack, but to get closer. This way you can make the opponent's attack deflect again. The closer you are, the better the effect of the continuous punch. You play the apprentice of Master Miyagi, You will have this skill to get close to the other party."

"Is this...?" Mazzio did not retreat physiologically when facing Vidal's attack, but stepped forward. When the opponent's fist hit him slowly and quickly, he spun around, pushed away the opponent's fist, and then A sneak attack on the opponent's unguarded head.

"Very good, you and Yuji Yiben will practice more until you are familiar with this move."

Ronald entered the studio that was decorated to look like a Ryukyu shrine. Ralph Mazio had gradually become proficient in his practice. He and Yuji Yiben were pretending to trade moves. Unless you were a martial arts expert, you would still be able to see it. No big flaws.

"Let's take a real shot."

After Ronald saw that the two people had finished their moves and the lighting was in place, he called the two protagonists over and asked them to enter the center of the ring and start filming.

"ah……"

Tomita Tan Ling, who was wearing a kimono, was pushed to the ground by Changshan. He was very dissatisfied with Ryukyu women and white men from America. His master Sato, because he was rescued by Master Miyagi in a typhoon, has also reconciled with his childhood playmate and senior brother Miyagi.

Everyone betrayed Changshan, which made him furious and began to challenge Daniel.

This is not the high school students in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles. In Ryukyu, karate can only end when one party falls to the ground.

"You..." Daniel rushed forward angrily and stood in front of his girlfriend Kumiko. He Changshan started fighting.

Changshan's karate level is obviously better than Daniel's. Daniel was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

He remembered the "Crane Kick", the trick that helped him win the championship in the championship. After taking a look at Master Miyagi, he once again assumed the independent posture of the golden rooster.

Master Miyagi shook his head slightly. The Crane Kick is only invincible when used at the right time. In this situation, Changshan already knew the trick taught by Miyagi's father. With preparation, he could break the Crane Kick.

"Ah..." Sure enough, Chang Shan caught Daniel's flying kick and threw him to the ground.

"cut!"

Ronald stepped forward to take a look and called the makeup artist to touch up the makeup.

Daniel was beaten badly, and Chang Shan also received a few blows from Daniel. After adding bruises to his face, forehead, chin and other parts, he could continue to shoot the final trick.

"How about it, do you want to try another trick?" Ronald asked Mazio and Thenar.

"No, I feel like if I try another trick, I will be really hurt by Yuji Yiben." After all, Ralph Mazio is not a professional player, and is far from the level of Yuji, so it is better to end it as soon as possible.

"Okay, all departments are ready."

"a!"

Daniel and Changshan continued to fight, but Daniel was beaten repeatedly and had no power to defend. Kumiko wanted to save him, but was stopped by Master Miyagi's girlfriend.

Miyagi and Sato looked at each other. Daniel couldn't handle such a real fight. They both took out a rattle from their pockets and started shaking it left and right. The sound of the drum reached the passively beaten man. Daniel's ears.

He suddenly realized that on Ryukyu Island, Master Miyagi and he got up every morning to practice the basics of Goju-ryu karate inherited from the Miyagi family.

"The waist is the key. Rotate your waist to eliminate and hit."

Suddenly, the learned movements took on the meaning of real fighting.

Daniel no longer took the initiative to attack, but still paid attention to his breathing, maintained his balance, and waited for the opponent to attack first.

"ha……"

Chang Shan makes a surprise attack.

Unexpectedly, Daniel, who had regained his composure, spotted him. He turned around, turned his left arm outwards, and blocked his fist. At the same time, he naturally turned his right arm in front of him, took advantage of the opportunity, and hit Chang Shan in the face.

"ah……"

Chang Shan did not expect this turn of events and stepped forward to attack again.

Daniel saw the opportunity, and this time he turned his right arm outward and attacked with his left arm. His colleague who was blocking the ball hit Changshan's head with his fist.

"Ahh..."

Chang Shan was hit in the face twice and was already furious. He stopped dodging back and forth and rushed in front of Daniel. He opened his bow left and right and punched the opponent with one punch.

"Hi...Hi..."

To the accompaniment of the rattle, Daniel seemed to have transformed into a rattle, hitting him left and right, left and right, and finally knocked Chang Shan to the ground.

"cut!"

Ronald asked the director of photography for advice and passed this point.

"Tap up your makeup, touch up your makeup."

Two makeup artists came up and patched up a lot of fresh bruises on their faces and the bloodstains at the corners of their mouths for Ralph Mazio and Tomita Tan Ling.

"It's the last shot, please pay attention to the chemical reaction."

Ronald ordered the two to get ready.

"a!"

Two young lovers hugged each other, and the camera captured a close-up of their facial expressions. Tomita's acting is very convincing, and there are rich expressions in close-ups.

In the end, the two lovers, whose faces were bleeding, hugged each other tightly.

"cut!"

"The packing party is tonight, and kind Mr. Weintraub is supplying fine champagne."

Ronald made a joke.

"Oh yeah!"

Everyone cheered.

Ronald looked at the studio and said, "At least it's bigger and more beautiful."

The final battle of the second part "The Dragon King" has a larger venue than the first part, full of Japanese-style interior decoration, and the actors all wear kimonos.

The action is also more intense than in the first part, and it can be said that the action is very physical.

There is also a higher proportion of the male protagonist’s love scenes than in the first film. Tam Ling Tomita's costumes and close-ups are more advanced than Elizabeth Shue's.

"It just depends on whether the audience likes this flavor or not."
