Exploiting Hollywood 1980

The next filming was all about dance.

Musical films always end with a grand dance.

Ronald shot some of the drama parts first.

Dr. Hausman finds Johnny and admits to him that he was wrong about him. What caused Penny's unexpected pregnancy and surgery was not the most similar dance partner, but the shameless waiter who was admitted to Yale Medical School.

Johnny and the baby ended up dancing together, and the camera was very close to them, filming a close-up of the conversation.

"Johnny, I'm going to work in the Peace Corps soon, and I'm scared that you have to continue your dance career. Then everyone will say that we don't deserve to be together, and maybe we will feel the same way. What should we do?"

"We will work harder and be together." Johnny hugged the baby, as if he was fearless in everything.

The baby smiled. This is the sweetheart he likes. Let the two of them fight for the future together.

"cut!"

"It's almost time for your pas de deux, so go get some rest and get ready."

The lights were turned pink, and people's faces were beaming with joy. The final big dance was cheerful and joyful. This color really makes someone happy from the ground up.

“Usually, it’s us who dance the last dance of the Kellerman holiday season, but this year someone didn’t want us to do it.

So tonight we're going to do our own dance. And one special lady. Because she taught me to stand up for others.

She also made me understand what kind of person I want to be. "

The two leading actors stood on the stage, and Johnny's tape was put into the recorder.

"Now, I've found the time of my life..."

The theme song started, and the deep baritone sounded. Johnny hooked his finger at the baby, and the two came together.

Ronald gestured to the lighting engineer squatting high above.

A spotlight was thrown onto the stage, illuminating Johnny and the baby.

Sweets put her arm around Gray's waist;

Ask her to lower her waist backwards, and then rotate her upper body around her waist in a circle.

Jennifer Gray returned her upper body to the ready position, with a proud smile on her face.

For such an actor who has no dance foundation, he was slowly taught by Sweets and the choreographer during the filming, and he is proud to be able to dance the difficult mambo like he is now.

Ronald was also very happy. The camera accidentally captured the baby's expression, which was very consistent with the character's mood in the play.

The initial decision not to let Jennifer Gray learn to dance showed its value in this moment. True performances are always the ones that impress the audience the most.

Because the actor's own reaction is always more natural than any acting skills.

The rhythm of the theme song suddenly started to speed up and became a mambo beat.

Sweets waved his hand, and Gray spun out, then was pulled back by Sweets.

Specially customized dance clothes with many pleats on the skirt. Under the spin of Jennifer Gray, it flew up under the action of centrifugal force and turned into a circle.

The two were sometimes side by side, sometimes facing each other. Under Sweets' guidance, Gray kept spinning, and his skirt was flying up and down like a butterfly.

"I've found the time of my life...", the song reaches its climax, the two of them spin close, their eyes facing each other, their lips gradually getting closer.

Patrick Sweets waited for two seconds, and just when the two were about to kiss, he spun around, and Gray flew out again, only to be pulled back by him.

Jennifer Gray didn't expect Sweets to have this surprise and laughed.

"cut!"

Ronald led the applause. The two actors have gone through several turmoils and have now entered a very strange state. Just like basketball players often enter a zone where they can hit any ball of any difficulty.

The two of them are now in a highly focused state, entering a state of tacit understanding that they had never reached during rehearsals. No matter what movement he makes, he knows what the other person is thinking, and his dance moves are even more impressive.

Next up is Johnny, the male protagonist, who dances vigorously on the stage, jumps down from above with a big jump, and dances with many backup dancers. He sends an invitation to the baby from the audience, asking her to recreate the scene they rehearsed in the lake. A difficult move, jump on Johnny's arm and make a flying gesture.

"Your big jump should be as far as possible and as elegant as possible."

Ronald asked Sweets for some instructions. Sweets came from a ballet background and is no stranger to this kind of big jump. He was able to do very well.

But a recent ankle injury has him worried. Even so, he still expressed his confidence that there was nothing wrong with him.

Ronald had the camera facing the stage to film Sweets doing her big jump.

This shot is very demanding. The actor's front is completely exposed in front of the camera. If you want the audience to buy it and get emotional along with the plot, the actor must actually shoot it himself.

If a stand-in is used, it will be obvious that the movements are not smooth, and it will be difficult to mobilize the audience's emotions to rise to a higher level for the final flying action.

"a!"

Sweets jumped off the stage.

"cut!"

Ronald stepped forward and saw that he didn't jump far enough. The movements are not elegant enough either.

"I need a really big jump, a long jump. You just need to use your full strength, and I have confidence in you."

Ronald had seen the jumping ability of real male ballet dancers. Switz still couldn't let go. Perhaps he was afraid of the recurrence of his ankle injury and was unable to use his full strength.

"a!"

"a!"

…

Ronald took three shots, but Sweets couldn't really dance with the strength of a ballerina.

Ronald felt a little anxious. This kind of action was very energy-consuming. On the ballet stage, it is impossible for male actors to dance continuously. As the filming continued, Sweets was running out of energy.

Is it necessary to extend the shooting time for another day and pay tens of thousands of dollars just for this shot of Sweets?

Sweets was also very anxious. Ronald was always dissatisfied. Not only his ankle, but also his knee began to hurt. Thirty-four years old, the scarred body cannot withstand any more abuse.

He rested for a while, then asked his assistant to hand him a bottle of mineral water and took a few sips.

"Director, I only have the energy for the last time. This time I will dance with all my strength. If I can do it today, I will do it. If I don't, I will do it this time."

"Okay, don't feel pressured, just perform normally."

Ronald didn't want to show his anxiety and put more pressure on Sweets.

"a!"

After everything was ready, Schwitz jumped on the stage to the music.

"good!"

As soon as Ronald saw the jumping posture, he knew it was done.

Sure enough, Sweets jumped more than two meters and knelt down on one knee.

"cut!"

Sweets was completely in the mood, and then he danced a powerful solo, approaching the dancers. They lined up together, making three turns at a time, and extended an invitation to the baby waiting on the stage.

The camera was facing the stage. After taking the shot, Jennifer Gray's eyes narrowed as she smiled. She nodded shyly and agreed to her lover to do that flying lift and challenge her own limits.

"cut!"

The penultimate shot of the entire film has been shot.

Ronald sat in the director's chair and watched the on-site staff move the camera to the side of the aisle.

There is only one last flying lift left.

Ronald hopes to get it right the first time.

The large number of dance moves just now have consumed most of Sweets and Gray's energy. They happened to be in a certain zone. If the action couldn't be completed quickly, it would be difficult to exit from this state and get back in again.

"Are all departments in place?"

One by one, the staff signaled to Ronald that they were ready.

"camera?"

"full speed."

"recording?"

"start."

The recorder ran over quickly from the side and started typing in front of the camera.

"Dirty Dancing Scene xx, Article xx"

"a!"

The camera focuses on Jennifer Gray standing alone on the stage.

She was rushed to the front of the stage by four extras and lifted off the stage.

The camera was less than one meter away from her and captured this action.

"push!"

The director of photography silently made a mouth shape for the head of the four coolies in the photography team, the chief coolie.

The coolies' muscles soared, and they used their strength to quickly start the heavy camera on the rails, quickly accelerating to the speed of Jennifer Gray running.

This is a very professional and well-coordinated photography team that can achieve a cold start and fast panning shot.

Before today's shooting, they had rehearsed to perfection.

The camera closely followed Jennifer Gray's footsteps and completely captured the scene of the baby running from the side.

Jennifer Gray's run-up was fast and powerful. When she reached a place two meters in front of Sweets, she stopped suddenly. After her feet left the ground, they landed at the same time.

Just like a gymnast doing a vault, the forward energy is converted into upward energy.

She exerted her strength and flew forward forty-five degrees.

Patrick Swayze had been preparing in front. When he saw Gray taking off, he held her hips firmly with both hands.

Then Sweets did a half squat, like lifting a barbell, and lifted Gray above his head.

Then he stood up slowly, lifting Gray above his head.

Jennifer Gray struggled to keep her balance, holding her hands above Sweets' head, making a flying gesture.

Sweets' face flushed red, and he squeezed out the last bit of energy, and forcefully lifted Gray for more than six or seven seconds.

Then he slowly lowered Gray down.

Jennifer Gray was also very excited. After she landed, she hugged Sweets around the neck.

This was the most perfect dance among so many rehearsals.

She felt that it was impossible for her to dance so perfectly.

"cut!"

Ronald didn't expect to succeed at once.

Looking at Patrick Swayze who was slumped on the ground, his hands trembling slightly. Ronald knew it was impossible to take another shot.

He looked at the director of photography, and after confirming that the film was valid, he let out a sigh of relief.

Ronald shouted at Sweets and Gray who looked over, as well as the countless expectant eyes behind them.

"I announce that the filming of Dirty Dancing is packed!"

"Ho, ho..."

The dancers booed, started clapping and stamping their feet, and gradually all the actors and staff began to follow the neat rhythm.

The recorder was turned up loud and everyone started dancing crazily to the intense beat of the theme song "Time of My Life."

Ronald was also pulled into the crowd by Cynthia Rhodes and jumped up happily with everyone.

"I had the best time of my life

No, I've never felt this way before..."

What a joyful crew, Ronald also began to indulge and dance to his heart's content.

The scene became a sea of ​​joy.
