Exploiting Hollywood 1980

The next day, the cameras of the second group were recruited to shoot the blasting scene.

Why a youth rock movie, and a blasting scene?

The plot is this:

The rebellious girl Liv and the good girl Kate invited the rock band Ramones to the high school, held a live concert, and renamed the high school Rock High School. In the confrontation with the old-fashioned headmistress Ms. Toga, the academic master Kate used her A+ chemistry skills to configure some things, which the rebellious girl Liv used to lift the roof of the headmaster's room.

There was only one chance to shoot this scene, and Roger Coleman specifically applied for a demolition permit with the Los Angeles police.

Director Allen arranged for two-camera shooting to shoot a little more material, which is conducive to post-editing.

Ronald took a Nikon DSLR and became a stills photographer, taking a lot of pictures of each actor, and then the crew. These photos, together with themselves and their group photos, will be placed in the photography studio in the future, and the client will immediately believe in his own strength.

PJ Sols, who played the rebellious girl, was very happy. She tried to get the boss's evaluation of the sample through her relationship. Knowing that Ronald had made a beautiful photo of herself, she came over to chat about gossip.

When I was filming a concert at the Roxy Bar yesterday, the bar charged $600 for the venue all day.

Because of this money, Roger Coleman sold tickets publicly in the newspaper. Divided into three classes in the morning, noon and evening. Not only subsidized the cost, but also got a lot of group performances.

Fans bought tickets thinking there would be a concert. But only six songs were filmed at the scene, and fans only saw the band singing these six songs over and over again, often interrupted by the director. Just when this group of fans was about to quit, it was time to replace the next group of fans.

Ronald only wrote a service word in his heart. This money-saving technology is also unique in Hollywood.

Today's explosion scene also has a "money-saving coup". There is a scene of a press conference that requires a lot of group actors to play reporters.

The boss, Roger, told the real Hollywood newspaper gossip reporter to interview the Ramones. On the one hand, I thanked the reporter for helping to suppress the scandal of the band members into the police station, and I returned my favor. On the other hand, real reporters are always freer than group acting reporters.

Ronald laughed when he heard it, and learned a few more money-saving tips from Roger Coleman.

When the time came to evening, the Ramones band and fans set up a concert stage under the national flag at the gate of the high school, and director Allen shouted.

Starring PJ Sols took a prop made of a pump and slammed the pump hard to the end.

"boom!"

The loud noise completely exceeded Ronald's expectations, and his ears were buzzing a little. The huge fireball even caught the national flag behind the stage, and the actors ran away screaming.

The neighbors all turned on the lights, opened the windows and came out to check the situation, and some people started calling the police.

This grass stage team has miscalculated the power. Ronald covered his face with a wry smile, but fortunately there was no accident.

The crew picked up speed to pack up and retreat, just before the police arrived.

...

The last day of the shooting schedule is December 22. The crew arranged the best indoor scene for today.

The two heroines are wearing gymnastics vests and sports shorts, followed by a group of invited high school gymnastics team members. Today's shooting is the scene of class in the gymnasium.

In previous years, America's Cold War rival, the Solvay Union's women's gymnastics, dominated the Olympics. Their female athletes introduced acrobatic difficult movements into gymnastics, getting rid of the original ballet-style gymnastics that emphasized graceful beauty.

After that, the women's gymnastics team of the Solville Union visited America. The little girl with two pigtails turned somersaults on TV every day. The parents of girls in the United States went crazy and started sending their daughters to learn gymnastics like crazy. Many high schools have opened gymnastics class.

Youth exploitation films will naturally not let this theme go, and arrange some cool pictures,

Energetic gymnasts, wearing gymnastics vests and gym shorts, played vaults, balance beams, and uneven bars to the accompaniment of rock music...

PJ Sowers picked up the microphone again and began singing the movie's theme song "Rock High School." Dancing with her are the sexy bombs Chrissy and Mara, who have only been on screen for as long as PJ and Day Young.

The girl on the gymnastics team behind the background began to perform various gymnastics movements on the gymnastics equipment: um... this vaulting action seems to be a shuttlecock cartwheel straight forward somersault for a week... one foot stepped out of the mat...

"This will deduct a lot of points," Ronald thought secretly.

Costumes and dances are all about meeting the audience's need for ice cream. The staff at the scene watched it with relish, and it seems that the effect will not be bad after the screening.

There is something wrong with PJ Sowers' makeup in this scene. She plays an 18-year-old high school student, but she is actually 28 years old. Although the sense of youth did not subside, the skin on her legs betrayed her. Some blue veins are exposed, which does not work well in close-up shots.

Everyone was a little helpless. The makeup artist tried to apply powder, but when they danced, the powder fell off. It was really impossible to shoot.

The director wanted to shoot without powder, but PJ Sowers didn't agree. Actresses take their image on the screen very seriously.

Ronald had an idea and found PJ's husband who came to visit the class, "Does PJ have pantyhose? You can let her wear it in sports shorts. This covers her weakness without affecting her sexy image."

Her husband hurried to get the bag and pulled out a pair of pantyhose. After PJ put it on, he passed the shooting smoothly.

At lunch, PJ was delighted and came over with her husband to thank Ronald for his advice. If an actress is not beautiful on camera, it may mean that she will not have the opportunity to play a young protagonist in the future, and she will turn to an older supporting role.

Ronald's suggestion extended PJ Sowers' acting career for several years.

"Ronnie, this is my husband Dennis Quaid. He is also an actor.", PJ officially introduced her husband to Ronald.

"Hello Dennis, I'm Ronald Lee."

"Thank you for the advice, Ronald, you know how beautiful PJ is." Dennis laughed.

PJ Sols relentlessly beat his husband Dennis on the chest a few times, and buried his head on his chest again, changing the image of the rebellious girl in the movie, making him look as cute as a bird.

Her husband, Dennis Quaid, looks like a bear, and his slender and beautiful wife contrasts with each other.

Not long after they got married, they were still in love.

"So I'm going to call you Mrs. PJ Quaid in the future?" Ronald asked with a smile.

"No, she won't change her surname," said PJ's husband Dennis.

Ronald was a little surprised that it was very rare in America to not let a wife change her husband's name.

PJ's husband Dennis Quaid explains why:

PJ already has a certain reputation, has a lot of film appointments in Hollywood, and will receive a lot of scripts. The audience is already familiar with their names, and suddenly the surname is changed. The audience does not know who she is, and it is not worthwhile in career.

Second, PJ has made a lot of successful movies, and the actors can still receive a lot of follow-up income after the movie is released. In particular, she filmed "The Witch Carrie" and "Moonlight, Panic", which were bought by the TV station, and each time they were broadcast on HBO, they got a share. The Screen Actors Guild receives thousands of dollars in checks every year.

If the surname is changed, the IRS system of the tax bureau is likely to be wrong, and the income of one person is counted as two people, resulting in a series of troubles, and there may be fines for wrongly applying the tax rate. The bureaucratic system is very slow to deal with this problem, so simply Not changed.

"There's the last phone booth scene in the afternoon, don't forget PJ." Ronald reminded them and went to the line to get the hot dog.

The play in the gymnastics hall was successfully completed. Directors Allen and Joe discussed it and simply took the last shot that Ronald was in charge of. They arranged a surprise for Ronald.

This scene is also the last scene of the whole film. It is about:

The rebellious girl Liv Randall and the good girl Kate Rambo were driving out when they heard the radio raffle on the phone. The listeners who answered the correct answer first would get two tickets to the Ramones concert.

The two hurriedly found a phone booth, dragged out a man who was proposing to his girlfriend in the phone booth, and grabbed the phone to call the radio.

Director Allen held up the electric horn, "Our crew is very grateful to a boy who stood up and took the responsibility at a difficult time. He was an interim director for a day. He is..."

"Ronald!" everyone answered together.

"This boy helped a lot in the crew, got along well with everyone, made our efficiency unprecedentedly improved, and made the actresses so beautiful, he is..."

"Ronald!"

"In the last scene of the day, I want a boy to play the guy who proposes. Who is most qualified to play the man who proposes?"

"Ronald!" Everyone laughed when they were done.

Starring PJ, Day Young, put La Ronald on the field and pushed into the phone booth.

DP Dean Candy also came over to measure the focus for him himself.

Ronald, too, wanted to try what it's like to be on the other side of the camera, grabbing a fake beard from makeup artist and hairstylist Gigi. The fat dresser handed him the suit and tie...  

everything's ready……

Ronald put his hand on the phone, took a deep breath, and stood still in the booth.

"!" Allen ordered.

Ronald picks up the phone and starts performing:

"This is a very special question, I'll only ask one woman in my life... Please don't hang up, it's a little difficult for me... I'm here to ask you..."

The two beauties and girlfriends slammed on the brakes and parked the car outside the phone booth. PJ rushed to the phone booth, opened the door, and shoved Ronald out.

The man who proposed to him, played by Ronald, took a few steps back in coordination, and fell with garlic under his feet, still muttering, "I'm here to ask you to be my wife."

Dai Yang supported him from behind, and joked, "I'm sorry, you're not my type."

"Cut!"

Director Alan Akush yelled.

"This one is over."

Everyone applauded enthusiastically.

Allen raised his electric horn to the applause: "I'm announcing that the 'Rock and Roll' filming is packed."

Ronald took off his suit, tore off his fake beard and handed it over to make up. Looking at the phone booth, he suddenly thought:

"Just in time to call Demi Gaines, a client who was going for an audition photo, and make an appointment to come and take a photo."

"Come on Ronald, let's pack a party and let's have a good drink."

"I'll make a call..."
