Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 113 Decisive Battle

Latest website: Ralph Mazio has blood on both hands, the doctor came to stop the bleeding quickly.

"Shh..." The spectators in the seats who came to watch the real game, and the group performers who had pulled in, let out a thunderous boo.

They were very dissatisfied with Chad McQueen's Dutchman, which was tantamount to intentionally causing the protagonist Daniel to bleed.

"It seems to be very immersive, doesn't it?" Ronald was refreshed, and unexpectedly found that the audience at the scene had a lot of empathy for the role of Daniel.

This is great news. Since it can infect live audiences, it must also infect movie audiences.

Ralph Mazio was dealt with and returned to the field, sending Chad McQueen's "Dutchman" away with a blow to the head.

Another burst of cheers came from the audience.

"Cut!" The sound engineer gave Ronald both thumbs up. Such a cooperative audience is not common in filming.

In the end, Daniel, Dario Vidal, defending champion Johnny Lawrence, and Bobby, who also belonged to the Cobra Gym, entered the semi-finals.

"Ah... it's there" Daniel frowned.

Miyagi picked up the plaster and put it on Daniel's ribs. When he played against the "Dutch" just now, he was hit continuously and needed to be fixed with adhesive plaster.

"I didn't expect to make it to the semifinals" Daniel tried to move his arms, and his ribs felt less sore.

"I didn't expect it either." Master Miyagi told the truth.

"If only I could win the championship."

"As long as you survive." Miyagi began to decompress Daniel.

First up was Johnny Lawrence vs. Vidal. Ronald deliberately asked Vidal to use his real name to appear on the field. If this movie can become popular, he will also be known, and it can also be considered to help a friend realize his wish to open a martial arts hall.

The fight was moved to the center ring, and Pat Johnson declared the fight to begin.

Vidal kicked some good-looking whirlwind legs very windy, but they were easily avoided by Johnny.

The audience began to applaud Vidal again. On the one hand, his movements were unrestrained and elegant, very beautiful,

Let the audience feel that his actions are better than William Zebka who plays Johnny.

On the other hand, Johnny, who also belongs to the Cobra Dojo, was also disliked by the audience. Most of the audience didn't know who was the good guy and who was the bad guy in this scene, but William Zebka's very arrogant posture made the audience naturally dislike him.

Vidal didn't score a few whirlwind kicks. After he retreated, he made another beautiful kick, but Johnny saw the flaw in this move and attacked with one kick.

Vidal used old tricks and couldn't avoid this counterattack. He was kicked in the face by Johnny and fell to the ground, losing his qualification for the final.

"Shh..." The audience all thought that Johnny was cheating, attacking, and not talking about martial arts, and the audience booed even more.

The two actors are still very friendly. In fact, it is impossible for Zebka to meet Vidal's ability. It was he who took the initiative to let go of the defense and touched the opponent's feet with his face.

"Score, Johnny Lawrence, win." The referee announced Johnny's entry into the final.

"Shh..." There was another burst of boos, "It's not fair, Vidal should win."

"Oh, it's not like that. My son is a good man. He's making a movie. He's a good boy in life. He'll never be rude like this."

The mother of William Zebka, who played Johnny, also came to the scene and watched her son's performance from the stands. Being criticized loudly by the surrounding audience made her very uncomfortable, so she quickly stood up and explained to the surrounding audience.

"cut!"

Ronald stopped filming, and he was not in a hurry to explain, most of the audience would still react that this was a movie, but the audience's natural emotions made him overjoyed.

The camera is aimed at the side of the Cobra Dojo. The owner of the museum, Chris, looked at Master Miyagi and his disciple Daniel.

"Next game, Daniel LaRusso from Miyagi Dojo, against Bobby from Cobra Dojo."

Pat Johnson, who plays the referee, has a moustache and hairy arms that show under his T-shirt. Such a referee gives people a feeling of trust at first sight, because all the players can't beat him.

"Let's see who will make it to the final to challenge last-time champion Johnny Lawrence," the host shouted.

The audience started cheering for Daniel. This made Chris, the owner of the Cobra Dojo, very dissatisfied. He ordered Bobby, who was about to play, "I want him not to play."

"But Master, I can beat him." Ron Thomas, who played Bobby, is also a member of the Second Generation of Stars. He was dissatisfied and complained directly to Master Chris, just like he played in his true colors.

"I don't want you to beat him, I don't want him to compete," Chris said with a gloomy face, word by word.

He can't stand a short clown like Miyagi, the disciple he trained beats his own disciple, in case Daniel beats Johnny in the final...

"But if I do this, I will be disqualified." Bobby replied. He understood that Chris's implication was to make a heavy hand to hurt Daniel and give up the final final.

"Don't let him compete," Chris emphasized, staring at each other closely.

"Okay," Bobby was terrified, thinking that if he didn't do it, Chris would break his leg in turn.

"Prepare, start!" The referee gave an order, and the two sides took a ready posture.

Bobby waited for a few seconds, and under the urging of Chris's gaze, he suddenly stepped forward, jumped into the air, and then kicked Daniel's thigh with a scissor foot.

This move surprised everyone. The championship is not a duel of life and death. You cannot score by hitting the position below the waist, so the contestants will not allocate their energy to defending and attacking the next game.

Daniel responded to the end, and began to groan in pain.

Master Miyagi and Ali, as well as Lucille, who came to watch his son's competition, all hurried to the ring.

"Ah, my leg hurts so much, Master Miyagi." Daniel rolled on the ground holding his leg in pain.

"Don't be afraid, Daniel-san, the master is here." Miyagi hugged Daniel's head and let him gently lean on his body. Two fake fathers and fake sons, at this moment, there is a real father-son relationship.

"Bobby of Cobra Dojo was disqualified for deliberately hitting Daniel of Miyagi Dojo. According to Rule 41, Paragraph 2. Daniel LaRusso has fifteen minutes to decide whether to continue Go to the final. If he can't play, then another finalist, Johnny Lawrence, will automatically defend his title."

This despicable and shameless trick not only caused boos from the audience once again, but also made several of Chris' disciples, Johnny, Tommy, and others, begin to distrust him when they look at him.

For the first time, they began to wonder if the unscrupulous philosophy that Chris taught them was the right one.

Several referees came over and sent Daniel to the bed in the locker room. The doctor examined Daniel's injury and gently rolled down his trouser legs, "I will tell the referee, you have done well today."

Daniel's injuries were so severe that he could barely stand. He was lying on the bed in the dressing room, one arm covering his crying eyes.

He started the tournament just hoping to avoid getting hit. But after studying karate with Master Miyagi for more than four months, he defeated all his opponents all the way and made it to the final... When the championship was within reach, he was not reconciled.

Mother Lucille shaved Daniel's hair. "Don't think about it dearly. You've done a great job today. I've never been so proud of you."

"If they hadn't cheated, you could have won and entered the final." Ali also complained for Daniel by the side.

"I want to be quiet," Daniel said, crying.

"We'll wait for you outside." Mother Lucille and Ali went out.

"Master Miyagi," Daniel stopped the master when Miyagi passed him.

"Do you think I have a chance to win the final?"

"Win, lose, it doesn't matter." Miyagi said, Daniel's original intention has been reached, and the boys of the Cobra Gym will not provoke him in the future.

"That's not what I wanted to ask." Daniel looked at Miyagi.

"Hey! There is a good chance, you will win the final." Miyagi watched Daniel's promotion every step of the way. His style of play was unique. Johnny would feel uncomfortable when he first encountered it. Daniel is likely to succeed. win the championship.

"Can you heal me like you did last time?" Daniel begged. The last time I contacted the wall brushing style, I was injured and my arm could hardly move. Master Miyagi restored my mobility with a few acupuncture points.

"There is no need to fight, you have proved yourself."

"What have I proven? Every time they see me, they think they have beaten O. I will never have a chance to reconcile with them, and I will never raise my head in front of Ali." Daniel sighed, "I also It's impossible to reconcile with yourself."

Miyagi didn't expect Daniel to say such a thing, young people in America, the competition is extremely fierce, the winner takes all, the loser has nothing, not even the last bit of self-esteem.

"Hi! Close your eyes." Miyagi asked Daniel to close his eyes.

Miyagi rubbed his hands to heat, and then tapped the acupuncture point on Daniel's thigh.

"Ah..." Daniel cried out in pain.

"cut!"

Ralph Mazio's manager rushed up and handed him a dry towel to wipe off the sweat beaded by the makeup artist on his face.

"The last big scene, eh?" Weintraub came over, and the filming that lasted for a month and a half was about to end. At this moment, it really felt a little dreamy.

"There are two more games, one in the final, and one in the parking lot."

Ronald took his first film at the helm of a mid-sized Hollywood production very seriously, adding a fake ending at the end of the film.

This is what he learned from master screenwriter Billy Wilder. Wilder often likes to arrange a fake ending at the end, and after the audience's emotions reach a climax, a real ending is set to give the audience's emotions a final aftertaste.

Daniel finally won the final, after winning the championship. Johnny and his classmates couldn't stand Chris's rude tactics any longer, and they fell out with him in the parking lot.

Chris came to beat Johnny, and Miyagi accused him in the past of not following his master's principles and not beating students.

Chris provoked Miyagi in turn, and Miyagi knocked him to the ground in two strokes. All the students of the Cobra Dojo despised Chris and walked away one by one.

Ronald's intention is that this victory is not only a victory for Daniel, nor is it a victory for Master Miyagi to train his disciples, but also a comparison of two martial arts philosophies. In the end, Miyagi Martial Arts triumphed for the philosophy of self-defense.

Shooting continues.

When the host was about to announce that Johnny was defending his title, Ali ran out and told him the news of Daniel's comeback.

After acupuncture treatment, Daniel can walk on the ground, although his left foot is still a little limping.

When Johnny came up, he rushed to attack. He attacked with all his strength, punching and kicking, trying to decide the outcome.

Daniel took advantage of this impatience, and with a dodge, he avoided his punch with a balance far superior to Johnny's, and punched Johnny's chest with a backhand.

"One to zero!" The referee announced that Daniel scored.

"You're dead!" Johnny became even more embarrassed and rushed to end the fight. In the final with a "disabled", he was still one point behind, which made him very unable to hang his face.

"Shhh..." The audience was overwhelmed with emotions, no matter the plot of the movie, and began to boo Johnny played by actor William Zebka.

"Don't do this, my son is a good guy, he's just playing a bad guy." William Zebka's mother in the stands was about to collapse.

"Yeah...!" The surrounding audience suddenly boiled, and they stood up to cheer for Daniel, who scored another point.

It turned out that Daniel took the aggressiveness of Johnny, and one fell to the ground, using the trick that Master Miyagi used to himself when he was learning boxing champion Ali incessantly.

Takes Johnny down with a scissor foot and slaps him on the back.

"Two to zero!" The referee awarded Daniel another score.

Johnny threw himself to the ground, and Daniel slapped him on the back just now, which happened to make his nose come into close contact with the ground, and he was bleeding too.

Ronald saw the accident and was about to say stop.

The referee Pat Johnson said to Johnny, "Go to your master and let him stop the bleeding."

"cut!"

Ronald was delighted with this on-the-spot improv from Pat Johnson.

"Well done, Pat."

"This is a common occurrence in karate competitions. How about it? I'm doing a good job, right? Let me be the protagonist next time?"

"Hahaha..." The two laughed.

William Zebka's nose blossomed, and the audience was so happy again, and continued to boo him. His mum was a little overwhelmed in the stands.

"Hello, Mrs. Zebka, the director asked me to pick you up behind the camera to watch the shoot." Susan Atkins took his mother from the stand.

This was Ronald's idea, and he didn't want a grieving mother in the background of the crowd cheering for Daniel.

Shooting continues.

Coach Chris, played by Martin Cove, broke Johnny's nose with both hands, and with one force, the nose was restored.

"Sweep your legs!" Koff said a few words ruthlessly, "Do you have a problem?"

"No, master." The camera behind his shoulders is aimed at a close-up of Johnny's face, played by William Zebka. The director of photography looked at Zebka with a look of horror on his face.

"No prisoners!" Coach Chris shouted.

"cut!"

"Very good!" Ronald praised loudly.

Of course he knew that this expression was by no means the ability of the fledgling William Zebka, but that he was driven by the performance of his opponent Martin Cove.

To put it simply, Martin Cove let him in, and he seemed to be really frightened by Cove's cold words, so his expression was so realistic.

"How did you do it?" Koff's performance exceeded Ronald's expectations.

"Actually, I'm an actor, not a fighter." Martin Cove replied with a smile.

"Hahaha," Ronald admired his professionalism. In fact, this kind of high-level performance skills is not Ronald's strong point.

It turned out that in the previous rehearsal, every time Kov issued the instruction to sweep the legs, he was just talking about it casually.

And in the actual shooting just now, for the first time, he showed this kind of very ruthless humanity, who would rather destroy the opponent but also guarantee the honor of his own dojo.

William Zebka had never seen a grown man give such an order with ruthlessness. His expectation for Kov's performance just now was just a low-intensity rehearsal. The sudden increase in intensity made him raise his reaction mood by several levels.

Of course, this technique is only useful when shooting the first line, otherwise the other party will encounter Kov's performance and lose the authenticity of the reaction.

Fortunately, this shot was a success.

After Johnny came on the court, he was a swipe at Daniel. This action didn't deliberately hit him hard, so he didn't commit a foul, but he couldn't score. But his second kick hit Daniel in the stomach, scoring a point.

The audience loudly rebuked Johnny for being dishonest, not talking about martial arts, and making sneak attacks.

"Daniel, be strong!" Ali encouraged her boyfriend below. She most hoped that Daniel could defeat his ex-boyfriend Johnny.

Johnny continued to attack after the game resumed. Daniel's leg injury worsened. He obviously had difficulty moving and lost his best balance and dodge.

Johnny continued to attack Daniel's injured leg, and he kept doing it.

He kicked Daniel's leg again, and as Daniel struggled to keep his balance, Johnny punched him in the chest.

Two to two even.

Next is the moment of one-trick victory, whoever scores first wins the championship.

Johnny continued to attack Daniel's injured leg. The spectators had all stood up to watch the game, their cries almost shaking the lights on the ceiling.

Unwilling to fail, Daniel took the initiative to attack Johnny.

Johnny was full of anger and had nowhere to vent. Ali cheered the lame man again. The audience was scolding him for being shameless, and he was most angry at himself. To even tie with this skinny monkey, he had to attack the opponent's injured leg without fair play to equalize.

His face was deformed with jealousy, he was the defending champion, the best of the best, why are everyone applauding each other.

Daniel stepped up, repeated the trick, tripped Johnny, and then punched, trying to score a hit.

Johnny kicked his legs immediately to resolve, and then chased after Daniel.

Seeing that punching was useless, Daniel had a strong desire to win, so despite the pain, he lifted his injured left leg and kicked the side to end the fight.

Johnny caught his injured leg, an elbow, right in the same spot where Daniel was injured in the semifinals.

"Ah..." Daniel let out a scream.

"Put him in a body bag," is one of Cobra's cadets, where Tommy, played by Rob Garrison, is booing.

"Are you sure you're ok? Can you continue?" the referee played by Pat Johnson came up and asked Daniel.

Daniel nodded, his left leg could no longer touch the ground, so he could only focus on his right leg and tap his left toes lightly.

"cut!"

"Who taught you to say that?" Ronald asked Garrison, who was also a second-generation star.

"Director, didn't Chris often say that we should not keep prisoners? I have seen this sentence in Vietnam War movies." Rob Garrison replied with a hippy smile.

"That's right, I'll add a close-up for you." Ronald felt that at this time, he needed a gag clown to dilute the atmosphere of the decisive battle.

"Oh yeah? Am I improvising well?" Garrison was delighted.

"Of course, this line may accompany you for a lifetime."

Shooting continues.

Daniel raised his hands, imitating Miyagi-sensei's unique trick practiced by the sea, the crane kick. Now his legs can't move anymore, so he can only make a trick.

Ronald arranges a close-up next to Ralph Mazio, who gently shakes his head at the camera, as if asking for Mr. Miyagi's opinion.

"cut!"

Then the camera turns to Morita Noriyuki, which is also a close-up.

Miyagi nodded lightly at the camera, agreeing with Daniel's idea.

Can't move, it can only be unexpected.

"cut!"

The DP then gave Daniel a full body close-up.

With this crane kick, his hands are raised on both sides of his shoulders, the opponent's attention will definitely be attracted by this strange gesture.

Daniel's eyes, glanced down, his injured left leg moved slightly.

"cut!"

The DP turned to Johnny's close-up.

Johnny Lawrence was first insulted by this gesture of raising his arms high. Did Daniel, who opened the door in the middle, despise himself for not punching?

He slid forward suddenly, closing the distance.

It happened that Daniel's eyes turned to his left foot.

"It turned out to be a trick, and you still want to lie to me at this level?"

Johnny suppressed his anger, took a defensive posture with both hands, and moved to the next block.

After all, the legs are always longer than the hands, and before Johnny's fist hits Daniel's chest, his legs can kick him. Although the injured leg can't play any strength, the game is based on scoring, and the opponent kicks himself to be a point.

"cut!"

The two people's reaction shots were finished, and it was the last kick of the crane that flew out of the sky.

Ronald, in consultation with the DP, put the camera on a low position. This is to imitate the framing method of traditional Dongying movies. The camera lens is below the waist of the person, just like the sight of the Dongying people kneeling on the floor, which will make the two contestants very tall.

The camera uses a panoramic shot, leaving the two at a distance, so that Johnny's attack and Daniel's counterattack can be explained in one shot.

Once everyone was back in place, Ronald nodded to the DP.

"a!"

Johnny rushed to punch his opponent, Daniel gave him a look, and gestured to counterattack with his left leg.

Johnny took a defensive posture and lowered his fists from his eyes to protect his waist.

Daniel did a half fake and suddenly recovered,

Johnny froze for a moment.

Between the lightning and flint, Daniel slammed his hands down hard, and the white karate uniform vibrated, like a crane flapping its wings.

Daniel's right foot, which was supporting his leg, suddenly moved unexpectedly.

I saw Daniel take off with his right foot, and then kick out with his right foot...

Right in the middle of Johnny's head.

The two actors have rehearsed countless times for this showdown. Daniel's foot was lightly planted on Johnny's face. Johnny shook his head with a strong back, as if he was hit directly by this trick, and fell to the ground.

Daniel still fell back to the ground with his right foot, and he staggered to maintain his balance.

"Daniel, score!" The referee pointed his hand at Daniel heavily.

"Ah ah..." Ali rushed up from the ring and hugged the hero who defeated her ex-boyfriend, Daniel.

The audience went crazy when they saw this stunt like a crane spreading its wings. Several of Daniel's neighbors also rushed down from the audience, rushed into the ring, and lifted Daniel high.

"Master Miyagi, Master Miyagi, we did it! We did it!"

Johnny Lawrence over there, was convinced by the loss, he didn't expect Daniel to have this trick. He no longer obeyed Coach Chris's instructions, but took the initiative to pick up the trophy and gave it to Daniel.

"You deserve it, boy."

"Ah ... ah ..." The audience shouted desperately, and the recorder was particularly satisfied with this sound effect.

Ronald looked around, all the shots were realized according to his own ideas, and everyone's emotions reached their peaks. Even Master Miyagi, who had always been calm, nodded and smiled in satisfaction.

Another camera is shooting at him.

"cut!"

"It's like the scene in the parking lot, we don't have to shoot." Weintraub came up and saw everyone cheering, adrenaline bursting, and he also had the urge to go up and shout.

"Yeah, no need to shoot." Ronald nodded, this is the last shot.

Ronald felt that the philosophical discussion in the parking lot was unnecessary. All the plot ends in this moment, all the emotions climax here, and the audience is satisfied.

At the cinema, the audience should stand up, drink up the Coke, put the last bit of popcorn in their mouths, then go back happily, call friends and see a wonderful movie today.

The idea of ​​the false ending and the true ending of my own is emotionally unconnected. Such a big climax, the weak aftertaste of discussing the philosophy of martial arts is unbearable. It seems that Billy Wilder was able to film this double ending deliberately with a clue and emotion at the end. Ronald's direct imitation this time was not very successful.

The DP gave two thumbs up and all six cameras got the desired shot.

Ronald retracted his thoughts, nodded, and raised his horn, "I announce that the shooting of 'Longwei Kid' is packed!"
