Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Popular recommendation:

The four people dancing one-on-one is a bit of a fake.

Whirlwind and Ma, especially the actor who played the black boy Ma, the dancing skills of the bougainvillea prawns, overwhelmed the crowd, and visibly overwhelmed everyone on the scene. So they fought each other victoriously, and even took off each other's coats.

However, the two opponents didn't care at all, they showed an evil smile, and they scored a point from the middle, and the two pulled out a short female dancer from the back. The female dancer took the hands of the two of them and swung out as if on a swing. She stood opposite the whirlwind and the motor and began to provoke.

Turns out they had a female partner. The three of them form a group to challenge the whirlwind and the motor again.

The fight dance between blacks and Latinos is actually nothing more than a method of attracting the opposite sex. Whoever dances well can win the favor of beautiful women. If this beauty can break dance, it is simply too powerful.

The female dancer returned to her side, and the three of them began to dance in a team. They were all simple movements, but they made Whirlwind and Momo frustrated.

Now that the other side already has a female dance partner, no matter how well the whirlwind and the motor dance, they have already lost the game.

Ice T, who served as a DJ, also began to support the fire:

"At this point in the game, there is no suspense about the outcome.

Don't be discouraged by the whirlwind, even you will be shriveled! "

"Cut!"

After the dance, the story will continue to develop. Kelly began to learn breakdance to help Cyclone and Ma get back to their place. , to push her out.

But Kelly said that without Cyclone and Motor, she was unwilling to sign the contract by herself, and she would need three people to sign as a team. The agent was persuaded by her and promised her to come to see a fight between Whirlwind and Motor.

So Kelly and her agent once again came to the basement where dance battles are held all the year round.

That's how exploitative films are made. The scenes in one scene are all shot at one time. And it doesn't pay attention to lighting like a big production, and it focuses more on speed than quality.

So the shooting speed depends only on whether the actors perform well or not.

Ronald waved costumes and make-up in, and changed all the main actors. Anyway, several important characters are poor ghosts, so the actors brought some clothes to exchange.

This time, it was Ma's turn to have Chinese on his clothes, and Ronald couldn't help laughing.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing?" The prawns were a little stunned by the laughter.

"No, the Chinese characters on it are very auspicious and mean fame. Maybe you will become famous after you act in this movie."

"Oh yeah?" Boogaloo prawn is also a big boy with no scheming in life, and he is very happy to hear the director say that.

Lucinda Deitch was dressed in black and red, with cheap black Nike shoes on the soles of her feet, and a black gauze skirt over a red long-sleeved T-shirt with light makeup.

Ronald looked very bright at a glance, much sexier and more beautiful than the female dancer on the opponent's side. The most important thing is a pair of leg warmers on the ankles, which are the original products of Ronald's factory. Although according to the background of the script, Kelly, a poor girl who works in a hamburger restaurant, may not be able to afford it, but the exploitative film , it's okay to bring goods for yourself.

"A!"

"Wow, is this what you mean by breakdancing?" The blond manager is played by a handsome actor named Christopher MacDonald, who often plays supporting roles in TV shows, a role he is familiar with.

"I have to find someone to film these dance steps." Agent James also couldn't help shaking with Ice T's rap. This kind of music is really unstoppable.

This time, it was Cyclone and Motor's turn to show off, and they also split to the sides, revealing Kelly behind.

Lucinda Dickey grew up practicing gymnastics as a boy before turning to jazz dancing. She landed a front flip,

Then, using breakdance mixed with gymnastic moves, he began to provoke the other girl.

"Oh, what does this girl bring tonight? Let's wait and see!"

Ice T began to improvise again.

The opponent trio was stunned, and the female dancer tried to imitate it, and then gave up.

To say that Lucinda Deitch's dancing skills are not inferior to Sabadell at all, but she dances with the background of jazz dance, and Sabadell has the background of breakdance, and neither of them can dance each other's dance well.

"Look at this, look at that, which one can you do?"

Ice T no longer cares about the face of the opponent's trio, there is a white girl who can incorporate "noble" jazz dance moves into breakdance, and quickly improvises lyrics and praises it.

The number of opponents, the motor, the whirlwind, and Kelly celebrated happily.

"Cut! Let's do it again!"

Ronald's shooting today went well, and at 6:00 p.m., all the scenes of the fight dance were finished on time.

After the cast and crew were gone, Ronald and Minahan were the only two left, who got into a van together and began directing the editing.

In the editing car, the editor had already synchronized the sound and picture of the previous day. In order to ensure the progress, Minahan had two editors work in two shifts.

"This hand man dances the best!" Minahan also squatted next to Ronald, watching the clip on the monitor, "If I hadn't known that he was disabled, I wouldn't have been able to tell just by watching the dance."

"His level is superb, and today's Boogaloo prawn is also very good, both of them are above everyone else. And that Falcon's fusion robot dance and noodle dance moves are also very good."

"Mmmm," Minahan was listening to Ronald's advice, "Bougainvillea, Falcon..."

He kept repeating it several times, deepening his impression of the names of the two actors, "Bugalo, Boogalo, this name is quite smooth."

"Boogaloo is actually the name of a style of black music," the editor inserted.

"They have weird names anyway."

After a few cut points, Ronald starts yawning, "I'm tired, you keep doing rough cuts. I have to go to bed."

In this way, the filming time of the first week gradually passed, and on Saturday, the rest of the crew went home to rest, only Ronald and the four male lead dancers were left, who were sneakily sitting in the RV at night, and came to the scene. Corner of Melrose Avenue.

"We've already told the owner not to make any big noises, and we'll leave after filming."

Minahan directed the lighting team to set up lights at the entrance of a convenience store on the corner.

The camera crew got into the convenience store and started arranging the cameras.

The motor, played by the Boogaloo Prawn, starts muttering to himself with a broom in front of a thief-proof mirror.

Cyclone laughed at him. "Who do you think you are? Fred Astaire?"

"Who?" Ma did not know the legendary white musical star.

"Forget it, you'd better take a broom and sweep the floor."

The reason why Cyclone and Motor are so good is also because they work as cashiers at the same convenience store. The two have the same interests, work together again, and study many innovative dance moves with each other.

Ma Ma is a person with pure interests. He sweeps the floor and carries a dual-card loudspeaker tape recorder, playing music. After a few swipes, he started dancing again with a broom.

"All departments are ready!" Ronald pointed the camera at the door of the convenience store. "You just need to pan the camera and follow the dance steps of the bougainvillea prawns. You don't have to do anything."

"Okay," the director of photography went on to explain.

"Wait a minute, you can jump as you want." Ronald commanded, pulling the bougainvillea prawn.

"Ow... ah... ow... ah..." A heavy gasp came from the speaker of the tape recorder.

Motor began to improvise.

He started with a series of spacewalks, very compact, his feet seemed to slide on ice, and the elegant feeling was much better than MJ's live performance at the Motown concert that day.

"Um..." Ronald touched his chin and thought of a trick.

The motor moved repeatedly on the ground, his shoulders seemed to be spring-loaded, and with the tight drum beat, they began to shake like a spring-loaded puppet.

Then he set the broom to the ground and jumped up around the standing broom.

The very rhythmic dance moves made Ronald also pleasing to the eye.

The motor circled the broom a few times with its hands, and with a little tap, pushed it down.

He went to the previous one, raised his hand and moved, as if calling the broom back.

Gradually, the broom seemed to hear his call, jumped on the ground, and slowly stood up.

"Cut!"

"How's it going?" Ronald quickly asked the director of photography.

"No problem," the DP made an OK gesture.

"Okay, get ready for the next game."

It turns out that this is a magic trick of the Boogaloo Prawn Club. When his hand was spinning around the broom before, he tied it with a very thin fishing line and stuck it on the pre-reserved bayonet.

Then, with a slight pull, the broom slowly returned to its original position.

"A!"

The next action is that the motor surrounds the broom and performs thaumaturgy again. As soon as he raises his hand, the broom rises in the air like magic. With the control of the motor hand, he seems to be attracted by an invisible magnet in the palm of his hand.

Then the Boogaloo Prawn volleyed his broom and jumped into the skywalk.

His dance steps are gently curved, and the broom floats as if in space with the spacewalk, advancing and retreating with the motor.

"Cut!"

"How about this time?"

"No problem, I zoomed to a close-up and didn't wear it." The director of photography said no problem.

"Is this really a masterpiece?" The next afternoon, in the editing car, Minahan saw this "Dance of Motor Brooms" and exclaimed again and again.

"You know what? He reminds me of Fred Astaire, the scene in the old movies where he jumps up the walls and ends up on the ceiling. A mysterious force... I was As a kid, I saw this in my dad's screening room. I just thought, I'm going to grow up and make this magical musical."

"Um..." Ronald's mind was completely not on Minahan's whimsical imagination, but pondered his own problems.

The ending of "Breakdance" is that Ma, Cyclone, and Kelly team up to participate in the Broadway selection dance competition. Several of the judges didn't like their breakdance at first, and were run by Franco, a dance coach who harassed Kelly who failed, and eliminated them if they didn't want them to compete.

But in the end the judges were persuaded by Whirlwind's speech about freedom and let them break dance, and the trio finally succeeded, winning the dance competition and winning the lead role in the new Broadway musical.

"This ending is too much like 'Lightning Dance'. If you shoot it like this, you will be criticized again." Ronald thought, "And in 'Longwei Kid', I want to imitate Billy Wilder. Fake ending climax and aftertaste, it seems like you can try it here."
