Exploiting Hollywood 1980

The action film "Above the Law," starring Steven Seagal, is being filmed at Warner Bros.' soundstage at 4000 Warner Boulevard in Burbank. \u003c/p\u003e

The script of this movie was tailor-made for Siegel. It tells the story of an American soldier named Nick who once served in the special forces in Vietnam and later came to Japan to seek in-depth study of the real martial art "Aikido". \u003c/p\u003e

He returned to China after studying and was recruited by the CIA as a special operator. Later, he couldn't stand the CIA's torture of prisoners. After leaving the CIA, he worked as a police detective in Chicago and got married. \u003c/p\u003e

During an anti-drug dealer operation with his new partner, he discovered that criminals were being protected by the CIA and killed the church priest. In the end, Nick fought back and no longer cared about the provisions of the law. He became a revenge warrior, killing bad guys and protecting his family above the law. \u003c/p\u003e

"Everyone follows my design, everyone is the same..."\u003c/p\u003e

Siegel, a tall and lanky man, was on the set preparing to film a scene in which he fights many criminals alone, knocking them to the ground one by one using Aikido. \u003c/p\u003e

Although the film was directed by someone else, Siegel designed and shot the action scenes himself. All the stuntmen on the scene had to obediently perform the qigong performed by him with his magical "Aikido", and they were beaten until they fell to the ground. \u003c/p\u003e

……\u003c/p\u003e

"This is one of Warner Bros.'s traditional sound stages in Los Angeles, one of the largest. The previous TV series 'Kung Fu,' and Spielberg's movie 'The Goonies,' were all shot here. This time 'Above the Law' The scenes in the Vietnamese jungle were set here.\u003c/p\u003e

Please put on your visitor's badge, we go in here and Mr. Siegel is inside directing the action scenes. ”\u003c/p\u003e

A Warner Bros. on-site manager led Ronald and his group into the filming location. The two bodyguards raised their hands to take the visitor's pass from her hand and handed it to Ronald and the agent Richard. \u003c/p\u003e

"You are so considerate as bodyguards, you make me feel like a king... Hahaha." Ronald felt comfortable being served by two actors who had been professional bodyguards, Jean Claude and Lundgren, and immediately expressed his gratitude. . \u003c/p\u003e

"This is our job," Jean-Claude responded quickly and flattered him first. \u003c/p\u003e

"When we go in later,

Don't follow me, there's no danger in there. If you have time, take a look at how Siegel shoots action scenes. It will come in handy when you make movies in the future. ”\u003c/p\u003e

Ronald told them to study more, because Ronald didn't know much about how to shoot this kind of fighting scene. It was up to them how much they could learn on their own. \u003c/p\u003e

"Let's go in..." The on-site manager opened the side door of the studio and let Ronald go in and take a look. \u003c/p\u003e

"Lebel, what the hell are you doing? How many times have I told you that you have to follow my plan. I will hold your wrist and you will fall down. This is not fighting, this is making a movie. , do you understand?"\u003c/p\u003e

As soon as Ronald came in, he heard Siegel, who was wearing a ponytail, loudly instructing a stunt man. \u003c/p\u003e

"Mr. Siegel, it's not that I don't follow your design, it's just that if I fall like this, my center of gravity will be in the opposite direction to the direction you threw me. There are no mats on the ground, it's all hard ground, so I can easily get injured. Yes. You can’t change the direction of my fall so that I can fall more beautifully."\u003c/p\u003e

"Fuck, are you the leading actor or am I the leading actor, eh? You can do whatever I tell you to do. Are you dissatisfied? We can practice alone..."\u003c/p\u003e

Siegel rushed over, head-butting the stuntman named Lebel, and threatened to get out if he didn't fall to the ground according to his own method. \u003c/p\u003e

"No, no... Mr. Siegel, I will just follow your request..." Lebel was reluctant to bear the high salary of a stuntman, but he still gave in. \u003c/p\u003e

"You should pay attention to his dress, and his aura as if he was sparring in a gym..." Ronald saw Steve Siegel's style and applauded in his heart. Quickly ask the two bodyguards to pay attention to the stealer. \u003c/p\u003e

Sigel wore a black gi, with his ponytail dangling. He had a serious look on his face when he bullied others. With his tall stature, he looked very much like the fighting master that Americans imagined. \u003c/p\u003e

"Okay, let's do it again..."\u003c/p\u003e

Siegel glared at Lebel until he gave in, then told the cameraman to turn on the camera while he rehearsed the action scene. \u003c/p\u003e

"A!"\u003c/p\u003e

Siegel yelled, and then the substitutes came forward one by one, assuming a posture of rushing forward and fighting him desperately. \u003c/p\u003e

"Ha...ha...ha..." Siegel's Aikido is a combination of the Tai Chi that Ronald saw in China and Chinese wrestling. The main point of force is to use grappling techniques to catch people. Use the opponent's wrist, and then use the opponent's momentum to make the opponent lose his balance with four or two moves. After losing his center of gravity, he fell heavily to the ground. \u003c/p\u003e

Each stuntman rushed towards him in a different direction, fell in a different direction after being caught by him, and lost his center of gravity and fell out in a different posture. \u003c/p\u003e

Siegel's carefully choreographed fights are similar to Aikido performances. Each opponent follows the choreography and rushes one by one. There are never two people attacking at the same time. \u003c/p\u003e

Aikido's skills are more about seeing the big from the small. Siegel's own movements are very subtle and not very large. There are more than a dozen of them, which gives a sense of rhythm to dancing. \u003c/p\u003e

Fighting in movies is different from real street fighting. What matters is that the fight looks good. This Aikido master's certificate holder is very skilled in this kind of performance, because when they opened the gym, they would perform this kind of wrestling with their apprentices, so that the students would enjoy it so much that they would sign up. \u003c/p\u003e

Ronald nodded while watching. Siegel was a bit crazy, but his level of action design in movies was pretty good. \u003c/p\u003e

Several stuntmen were thrown into a very embarrassing situation, but everyone followed the plan, so it was nothing to this extent. \u003c/p\u003e

Everyone in front fell down, and finally it was Lebel's turn who had just retorted. \u003c/p\u003e

"Ha..."\u003c/p\u003e

This time, Siegel did something wrong. Instead of throwing Lebel in the designed direction, he unexpectedly changed the direction of force. Lebel was pushed hard by him, and the momentum he had just rushed towards for a good look was redirected and rushed towards the brick wall on the side. \u003c/p\u003e

"Ah..." Lebel wanted to regain his center of gravity and brake. Unexpectedly, after Siegel sent him towards the brick wall, he also searched lightly under his feet. Lebel almost tripped and fell. His center of gravity was unstable and he hit the brick wall with his head. \u003c/p\u003e

"Ah..." Lebel covered his face. The impact was severe, and a stream of blood flowed from the seam of his fingers. \u003c/p\u003e

"Are you okay, Lebel..." Several members of the same stunt team as him went up and helped him down. \u003c/p\u003e

"It's okay, it's okay..." Lebel knew that he had been tricked by Siegel and deliberately made him feel uncomfortable. \u003c/p\u003e

"Hey, why didn't you fall in the designed direction?" Lebel was furious when he saw that he was bleeding, and blamed Sigel. \u003c/p\u003e

"Are you okay? A stuntman can't even fall? If I just exert force, you fall in the wrong direction. During the actual shooting, didn't you deliberately waste the film?" Siegel pointed at him and yelled. \u003c/p\u003e

There were almost 20 stunts on the scene, but no one knew that Siegel was deliberately trying to show off his power, and made Lebel fall hard when no one was paying attention. \u003c/p\u003e

"I..." After being thrown down on purpose and accused, Lebel felt a little dizzy when he saw his hands full of blood. He didn't know how to refute this bad guy. \u003c/p\u003e

"You, Kane, and you, Quadros, do you also want to be like Lebel?" Siegel pointed at the companion who was supporting Lebel, his eyes flashing fiercely. These stuntmen were dissatisfied with themselves on the set. You need to take good care of it until you are convinced. \u003c/p\u003e

"My dear, you are so powerful...can you teach me Aikido?" A beauty with blond hair and big eyes, who had no idea what was going on, saw Sigel performing a stunt and falling to the ground, and came up to hug Xigel. Geer's arms began to act coquettishly. She plays the wife of Siegel's character in this movie. \u003c/p\u003e

Isn't this the same Sharon Stone who played the heroine in the Cannon copycat Indiana Jones series? \u003c/p\u003e

Ronald recognized this woman. She had a big problem with her brain. Cassandra Peterson, the heroine of "Ecstasy", said that this woman urinated in the cannibal's prop vat, causing the There was a stench on the set. He also has a big mouth and advertises his "accomplishments" everywhere. \u003c/p\u003e

"Pfft..." Thinking of this, Ronald couldn't help laughing. \u003c/p\u003e

"Who is it? Who is making noise on the set? Is it you again? Who are you, dare to come to my set and act wild?" Siegel recognized Ronald as the one who "seduced" his wife at the premiere last time Kelly LeBrock that young man? \u003c/p\u003e

"I'm just here for a visit..." Ronald shrugged, indicating that he wasn't here to cause trouble. "So, where is the resident doctor? He should have bandaged up the stuntman, right?"\u003c/p\u003e

"Doctor, doctor", everyone finally realized and called the doctor to bandage Lebel. \u003c/p\u003e

"My dear, you are the most manly person on the set..."\u003c/p\u003e

Steve Seagal was touched by Sharon Stone's chest, and his power suddenly increased. \u003c/p\u003e

"That's right, Honey, I have the final say here." He put an arm around Stone's waist and slapped her on the butt. \u003c/p\u003e

"Well... who is that person? He doesn't seem to listen to you... By the way, he looks a bit familiar." Sharon Stone started to provoke the world, fearing that the world would not be in chaos. Stasu, who went to college, is said to have a high IQ, but her problem is that she only thinks about how to let everyone know about her high IQ. \u003c/p\u003e

"Hey, hey, what about you, who are you? Get out of my studio..." Siegel's male hormones surged, and he came up to Ronald, trying to push him with both hands. \u003c/p\u003e

"Stop." When the two bodyguards realized that Sigel wanted to take action, they came up to block Ronald. \u003c/p\u003e

"Where did this bastard come from?" Siegel looked at the tall bodyguard, who looked a bit like the villain in Stallone's "Rocky IV". Nowadays, there are really all kinds of people, and there are still people dressed as villains? Go up and push him. \u003c/p\u003e

Lundgren and Jean-Claude, both European Karate Championship champions, reacted quickly. \u003c/p\u003e

Longgren dodged and sideways avoided Siegel's push. Then he quickly took a step back to distance himself, and kicked Siegel solidly on the butt with a sweeping kick. \u003c/p\u003e

"Pfft..." Siegel was caught off guard. He didn't expect that the opponent didn't follow the rules designed by Aikido before fighting. He suffered a big loss and fell to his knees, as if he was begging Ronald for mercy again. \u003c/p\u003e

"Pfft..." The stuntmen couldn't help laughing when they saw Siegel deflated. \u003c/p\u003e

"Ah... I'm going to kill you..." Sigel was so humiliated that he stood up and was about to rush over and fight back. \u003c/p\u003e

"Uncle..."\u003c/p\u003e

This time it was Jean Claude's turn to show off. He jumped up with both feet in the air, then changed his feet in the air, and performed a backsweep kick in the air... The soles of his feet were close to Sigel's face, and his control was still so precise. \u003c/p\u003e

Siegel felt a strong gust of wind pass by his nose, and instinctively stopped, then raised his hands in front of his eyes for defense. \u003c/p\u003e

"Pfft..." Everyone burst into laughter again. Sigel seemed to be stunned by two bodyguards and two karate moves. \u003c/p\u003e

"Who is making the noise here?" A woman wearing glasses, who looked like the production director of the studio, was napping in the lounge. She was awakened by laughter and came over to see what was going on. \u003c/p\u003e

"It's okay, it's okay, we are just competing among martial artists..." Ronald smiled and stepped forward, signaling to everyone that his two bodyguards were just competing with Sigel. \u003c/p\u003e

"Ah... ok... you continue." When this female production director saw that it was Ronald, she turned around and ran back like a mouse seeing a cat. \u003c/p\u003e

Ronald was a little confused by her actions. He turned back and stretched out his hand to Sigel. \u003c/p\u003e

"Sorry to disturb your shooting, we are leaving first."\u003c/p\u003e

Siegel quickly shook hands with Ronald and took the opportunity to walk down the steps from the very embarrassing situation. \u003c/p\u003e

"Hello, hello, I welcome you to my crew...are you..." Sigel said nonchalantly, narrowing his eyes and looking at Ronald, planning to find out about this person's background and find it later. Place. \u003c/p\u003e

"My name is Ronald, Ronald Lee. Remember this name." Ronald turned back to the two bodyguards and signaled that he had finished reading everything he needed to see and it was time to leave. \u003c/p\u003e

"Let's continue, continue..." Siegel began to issue orders to the stuntmen again. \u003c/p\u003e

However, after this episode, these stuntmen were not so obedient to Siegel. \u003c/p\u003e

"Do you think he is a master of Aikido or a liar?"\u003c/p\u003e

"Who knows? I heard that he got his master's certificate only after marrying his master's daughter."\u003c/p\u003e

"Hehe, just bully us with these stunts, it won't be that good in a real fight..."\u003c/p\u003e

……\u003c/p\u003e

The bodyguards, Richard and others surrounded Ronald out of the studio and into the car. \u003c/p\u003e

"Good job." Ronald praised the two temporary bodyguards. \u003c/p\u003e

"Thank you..." The two of them protected Ronald today and showed off their fighting abilities. They were both grateful to Sigel, an idiot who didn't even know Ronald. \u003c/p\u003e

"Did you see anything on the set?" Ronald then asked the two of them. Although Siegel is a terrible person, he still has a lot of potential in action movies. \u003c/p\u003e

"In action movies, you need to use tricks to make the fight look good. I think Siegel's actual level is average, but the stuntmen rushed up one by one and arranged it. He didn't move there, and the audience looked like a master." \u003c/p\u003e

Lundgren had a big enlightenment today. Whether a person plays well or not has a lot to do with his opponent's cooperation. \u003c/p\u003e

"I think the atmosphere is also very important. Sigel looks very classy in his Aikido uniform. In fact, our karate uniforms are also very good-looking."\u003c/p\u003e

"Hahaha, it seems that you have really understood it. For the next script, I will find someone to start from these two aspects, so that the plot can set off your fighting skills."\u003c/p\u003e

When several people arrived at Daydream, Ronald asked them to rest while he called script assistant David Simkins and asked him to find a capable screenwriter to tailor a script for the two bodyguards. \u003c/p\u003e

"Ronald..." Richard waited for Ronald to finish his work, then found an opportunity to wink at Ronald, indicating that he had something important to talk to him. \u003c/p\u003e

"What's wrong?" The two of them entered Ronald's office and closed the door. Ronald threw a bottle of Coke at him. \u003c/p\u003e

"Do you remember the woman who came out of the lounge just now and came over to ask you something?" Richard asked. \u003c/p\u003e

"What's wrong with her?" Ronald asked blankly. This woman looked very ordinary, and he had no impression of her. \u003c/p\u003e

"The secretary in Rick (Nisita)'s office who was suspected of leaking the script of 'Working Girl' and later disappeared, looked a lot like her to me."\u003c/p\u003e

"Huh? Are you sure?" Ronald's voice rose an octave. \u003c/p\u003e

"I'm not 100% sure. She changed her hairstyle and her clothes to that of a secretary, but her movements and speaking postures are very similar." Richard stayed behind Ronald, and the woman left quickly. He wasn't sure for a moment. After a while, he looked again, but couldn't find anyone again. \u003c/p\u003e

"Go to Rick and ask him to go to the studio to identify her? I think she seems to have a high-level pass as the production director of the crew?" Ronald became suspicious. This secretary obviously didn't know that he would go to the set and was recognized by Richard. \u003c/p\u003e

If she is the secretary who leaked the secret and came here to be the production director, it is very likely that she was rewarded by the mastermind behind the scenes. There are so many film crews in Hollywood, and she doesn't know which one she will go back to work for. \u003c/p\u003e

"I'm afraid that when Rick passes by, she will run away again." Richard regretted that he did not bring a primary imaging camera. \u003c/p\u003e

"Run? Running away, that is also a confirmation..."\u003c/p\u003e
