Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Latest Website: On Friday afternoon of the second week of training, Ronald came to the Debbie Reynolds dance studio. In the big training room here, there are many cushions on the ground, and the mirrors on the surrounding walls are covered with cloth. Action instructor Pat Johnson is coaching the lads who play Cobra gym cadets to punch.

"Ho...ho...ha...hey", several second-generation stars tied cloth strips on their heads, put on the black cobra gym uniform, and were punching hard.

"Aren't you full? Work hard!" Martin Cove, who plays the coach, is now training the trainees like a real coach.

"Yes, Master!" Several students agreed loudly, and then punched harder.

Pat Johnson saw Ronald and called off practice to let them do some acting for the director.

"Pause, line up, and show your skills and strength to Mr. Ronald Lee."

"Yes, master!" Several actors answered loudly and neatly, and then moved a piece of wood.

William Zebka, who plays the villain Johnny, picks up a plank, holds his hands up, and faces the other actors.

"Ah... uncle"

Chad McQueen, the son of superstar Steve McQueen, lunged forward, punching one plank, then kicking another. He wasn't too satisfied, and asked William Zebka to get a few more boards for him to perform.

After a week, these second-generation stars were trained to be very aggressive. .

Ronald watched for a while, a little worried if Pat Johnson had trained them to be too aggressive.

Johnson said they were completely within his control, and William Zebka was especially hardworking, had a little foundation, and was the best player other than coach Martin Cove.

"William, you're a bitch." Chad McQueen said angrily when Zebka refused to practice with him, and walked to the end of the team.

"Chad, your training is very effective, but I hope you can respect other actors. Your training is for filmmaking, not street fighting." Ronald stopped it, the second generation of stars inherited his big star Father's bad temper.

"Hey, the Cobra's belief is to be brave, to strike first, and to take no prisoners," Chad shouted, rushing to Ronald to challenge him.

Ronald doesn't know him well,

Turning to Pat Johnson, he said, "You have to take it easy, I don't want to get hurt because the actors get too excited while shooting."

The action guide Johnson nodded and stopped Chad. "Cobra also has a belief that discipline comes first. If the master does not issue orders, the apprentice is not allowed to attack, understand?"

"Understood, Master!" Chad McQueen cast a contemptuous look at Ronald and stepped back into the queue.

Ronald turned a blind eye to the teenager's provocation, and he didn't have a few lines anyway, which did not affect the shooting. Turn around and go to another small gym with Pat Johnson to see how another group of actors are working out.

Morita Noriyuki just came out of the small room to rest. When he saw Ronald, he hurriedly greeted him and several second-generation stars, and went up to welcome them into another practice room.

"This unseemly director, hahaha..." Chad McQueen said arrogantly. Several second-generation stars also echoed him and laughed together. Only Zebka is not a second-generation star, and he respects the actor Morita Noriyuki, and also smiles and nods at him.

"William, William, William..." Chad McQueen and several other second-generation stars, seeing William Zebka's actions, went up to surround him, "Are you trying to be a traitor? Huh?"

Zebka is very tired of these second-generation stars, but he is the main supporting role, not like an extra, "Ronald is the director, I don't want to offend him."

"Director? Humph! The producer can replace him at any time, you're such a coward." Chad McQueen smiled, released Zebka, and patted his cheek, "As long as you respect me, I It will cover you, and the new director will also cover your role."

Ronald, who had already arrived in another classroom, saw the protagonist Ralph Mazio lying on the ground. Morita Noriyuki, who failed to rest, also obediently began to split his legs and stretch with the help of his assistant.

"Ow...ah..." The two assistants, one-on-one, helped the two actors start to break their legs and start their routine wailing.

Ronald stood by and watched. Ralph Mazio, who was still acting as an apprentice, was more flexible, while Morita Noriyuki, who was already middle-aged, couldn't really do some movements.

"The philosophy of Gangruliu karate is to attack the enemy from the back and use the static to stop. Today, we will talk about the eleventh trick of Shattering, which is to use the technique."

Action instructor Pat Johnson got the two of them up and began to demonstrate with an assistant how to use a move in karate. When the opponent punched, Johnson turned his upper body slightly, used his arm to rotate outwards, set off the opponent's punch, and then gently hooked with his leg below, and the assistant fell down by his own inertia.

"Pay attention to this approach, you need to rotate outward and try harder. You can try it later." Pat Johnson demonstrated again to the two apprentices.

Ronald saw a little doorway. Pat Johnson taught the two protagonists a lot of martial arts philosophy, then had them break down some moves in slow motion, telling them how to use them to subdue each other, but never training their basics.

Contrary to the many teenagers outside, the hard training there is to practice from basic postures and horse steps, but the coach does not teach the boxing principles of martial arts.

Gu Jia

The two classes of players trained in this way have completely different understandings of karate. In the hearts of Morita Noriyuki and Ralph Mazio, karate is a concept, while those of Chad McQueen believe that karate is a group of techniques similar to boxing.

In this way, the actors on both sides were misled and moved closer to their roles in the movie. Ronald is very satisfied. When the training is over, it is estimated that the audience will be able to see the difference as soon as the people on both sides of the camera take a pose.

"By the way, what about Elizabeth Su? Why didn't you see her?" Ronald remembered to arrange Su to observe the training, and to spend time together on a daily basis to cultivate a tacit understanding.

"I'm here..." A girl in an oversized t-shirt and long shorts ran in from another small door in the practice room, holding a large bag of chocolate chip cookies in her hand.

"You're..." Ronald was faced with a flash of light from the small sunny door on the street, and he couldn't see the other's face a little. He covered his forehead with his hand and looked carefully.

"My God..." Ronald finally saw that the fat girl who came in was Elizabeth Shue.

"Why did you eat so fat in less than two weeks?" Ronald exclaimed in exasperation, "How can you still film like this? How can Ali fall in love with Daniel at first sight when he is so fat?"

"I...I...I have nothing to do here, and they don't take me to play." Elizabeth Su was a little flustered when she was robbed. She is an athletic girl who has practiced gymnastics since she was a child, and is also a member of the school football team.

When I got to Los Angeles, I was bored in the dance studio for two weeks and didn't know what to do. Can only watch Ralph and Morita start training the magical karate, but she is not taught.

Watching the two of them Lajin bored every day, they started to eat all kinds of snacks involuntarily, and finally it developed to the point where it was out of control.

"Starting today, you're going to eat a healthy diet and practice karate with Coach Pat Johnson." Ronald lost his temper at Su's stern face.

Then he turned to the action director Pat Johnson and said, "You have to add another female apprentice, if this continues, my Ali will be fat and disgusted by Daniel and Johnson at the same time.

Pat Johnson nodded, and one more person taught.

"You may have to teach her the standards of those outside. Su is an athletic girl. If she doesn't exercise enough, she will gain weight quickly."

"Okay, no problem." Pat Johnson couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"It's okay, I'm not going to fire you. But you also have to stop snacking from now on and train hard. This is your screen debut, don't screw it up." Ronald reached for the chocolate chip cookie in Sue's hand, Tear open the package and throw it in your mouth.

Still delicious.

"Let's take a break." Morita Noriyuki couldn't stand the amount of exercise again, and proposed to rest again.

Elizabeth Sue ran over and smiled at Pat Johnson, "How do we practice?" She had long wanted to start practicing this magical oriental martial arts together, just Ralph Mazio's athletic cell, herself It will definitely knock him down.

Morita walked outside. His age was here. He was originally a comedian and had never been in the habit of exercising. This kind of high-intensity stretching was simply unbearable.

"Mr Morita."

As soon as he ran outside to take a rest, Morita Noriyuki was stopped by William Zebka. Zebka is a little bit into the group of the second generation of stars, and he is always here alone when he is resting.

"Hello, William. Don't be mad at those lads. Just make this movie and you'll be famous. I have a feeling Ronald is a very good director, and he might really make you famous." Morita Seeing that the second generation of the star was a little rude to Zebka just now, he comforted him casually.

"I..." William Zebka, who had just turned eighteen, was dubious about this statement. "But I heard from Chad McQueen that Ronald could be replaced at any time."

"What did he say?" Morita Noriyuki paid more attention to the gossip from the crew. Having been in the TV circle for more than ten years, he knew that sometimes the gossip was ahead of the official announcement.

In the small classroom, Ronald watched Elizabeth Shue take off her shoes and practiced the basic karate poses with Pat Johnson. Sure enough, the athletic girl of this athletic girl is much stronger than the dry chicken Ralph Mazio and the skinny monkey Morita Noriyuki.

"Ow, practice hard." Ralph Mazio also whistled to cheer for Su.

"When I finish practicing, you are definitely not my opponent." Elizabeth Su returned with a look of disdain. "Ah" a kick, very standard.

"Ronald-san, please come here." Morita Noriyuki silently walked into the classroom and said to Ronald.

Noriyuki Morita was introduced to Weintraub by Ronald, and he definitely did not want Ronald to be replaced. Usually everyone in the crew is branded as "someone's person". If Ronald is replaced, and the new director doesn't appreciate him, there are a hundred reasons to suggest a replacement.

"I'll talk to Weintraub, don't worry, keep training."

Ronald thought of the high ginseng who often gave Weintraub ideas. Could this person be his "spare tire"? Weintraub, a Jew, really likes to have backup plans.
