Exploiting Hollywood 1980

The next morning, Ronald, who got the working samples, started watching those dance clips repeatedly in the editing car.

So far, the most exciting is the three paragraphs,

The first segment is Falcon's dance rival. The fusion of his robot dance and spaghetti dance is a new form of breakdance. Falcon told Ronald, it is called "pop robot dance Pop". Log".

The second paragraph is the motor played by the prawn Boogaloo, who dances broom dance, so naturally, there is no sign of stagnation. And his spacewalking skills are proficient, which is very beneficial to the ending he wants to shoot.

The last part is the floor dance of the hand man. If you don't tell you in advance that he is a polio patient, many people may not be able to see it.

To cut the three dances together, Ronald had Minahan send it to videotape.

"It's urgent today, I want it tonight."

"Okay, I'll send someone to take it to your house."

Ronald went back to the apartment, called CAA's agent, took a shower, shaved his beard, and got a good night's sleep. He was full of energy and got up just in time for the two videotapes sent by Minahan's assistant.

"Thank you," Ronald looked at the tapes in his hand, one in Sony Beta format and one in VHS format, and put them in his purse. Putting on his handmade suit, Ronald drove out and drove directly to CAA's office.

"You're here?" Nisita was already waiting for him in a suit. "MJ signed up with Pepsi to be their product ambassador. He arrived in Los Angeles yesterday and is staying overnight at the Beverly Hills Hilton."

However, he is very busy, and his albums have broken many records. He is no longer the first-line singer in the past, but is super-class. I can only arrange a chance for you to talk for a few minutes. "

"No problem, I have something he is interested in here." Ronald shook the purse in his hand.

"Okay, let's go." Nisita drove the car himself, and the two drove to the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel.

Michael Jackson's pomp is getting bigger and bigger, and there are bodyguards guarding the door in his bedroom.

After confirming with the inside, Ronald walked into the room.

"Hi, Ronald, it's nice to meet you, I heard that you have something to do with me?" MJ spoke softly, like a teenager who didn't grow up, but the momentum of the whole person has been compared with the last time I saw him big difference.

It seems that Pepsi's record $5 million celebrity endorsement fee has really made the pop star realize his worth.

"Sorry to bother you, I always remember what you said, looking for a dance instructor for spacewalking."

Ronald took out two tapes and handed them to the assistant next to MJ.

The TV shows the bougainvillea prawns dancing "the motor's broom dance".

"What's his name?" MJ immediately stood up when he saw the light and rhythmic spacewalker, "I want to know his name"

"His name is Boogaloo Prawn, and his real name is Michael Chambers," Ronald said to his assistant. "You can also read a paragraph later."

Falcon's popular mechanical dance appeared on TV again during the fight dance. Unlike ordinary mechanical dance, his version is elegant and unrestrained, not exactly the dull feeling of a robot.

Seeing MJ turn his head again, Ronald said quickly, "This is Bruno Falcon, who named this dance himself, the Pop Log style."

"Let my agent call them," MJ told his assistant.

"Hey, they're making a new movie on my crew right now." Ronald interrupted next to him, "It's a movie about breakdancing, and those are scenes from the movie."

"A movie?" MJ was interested. He made a black version of "The Wizard of Oz" in 1978, but the box office and film reviews were very mediocre. This time I saw that Ronald was shooting a dance film, and I was a little interested.

"

"Would you like to take a look? You can make a cameo at that time." Ronald smiled and said his real purpose.

"I'm afraid it won't work. My current schedule is arranged by my agent." Michael Jackson is now the darling of all the little girls in America, and he knows very well that he can't just agree to the invitation to make a cameo.

"This is not a role, you just make a cameo by yourself. Besides, you also want to ask them both to do choreography, just go to my place, chat with them, and it will be an interview."

"Is that so? Is my schedule still available?" Michael Jackson was really thirsty for Falcon and the Boogaloo prawn's spacewalk, and he was also very interested in his opponent, so it would be nice to meet him when he had time.

The assistant opened the schedule, "Tomorrow we have to rush to Los Angeles, and we won't be back until next Wednesday."

"That's no problem. I'll let the CAA people arrange it. You only need to show up. It only takes five minutes to shoot, and you can have a good chat with a few of them."

"Then it's settled, Ronald," MJ said, turning his head to signal his assistant.

"His schedule is tight, so..." The assistant pulled the tape out and gave it back to Ronald

"Then I won't bother you," Ronald said interestingly.

"Yeah!" After walking downstairs and getting into Nisita's car, Ronald couldn't hold back, clenching his fists and shouting.

"Hahaha, it seems that your share will increase greatly," Nisita laughed and drove off.

"Yes, your share will also be greatly increased."

Ronald broke the good news with Meinahan overnight, got him ready to set up the dance competition on Wednesday, and got Falcon to show up on time.

Then Ronald began to rewrite the finale.

Whirlwind is Latino, Mada is black, and it is unlikely that such an ethnicity will make it to Broadway and lead a musical with a white girl like Kelly.

Ronald still let the trio win the dance competition, but in the end they didn't recommend the trio to Broadway. They were busy and fought hard, and in the end they got nothing but a trophy.

Kelly still returned to the hamburger restaurant as a waiter, and the motor and the whirlwind still worked in the convenience store.

The only change is that the trio often goes back to Venice Beach to dance where they met.

Maybe breakdancing is not a high-end place like Broadway by nature. Audiences need to pay for tickets to watch this kind of street dance.

Break dancing should belong to the street, to the poor. All lovers can enjoy it or learn it if they like it. These people will share their skills selflessly.

The trio was at the beach that day, teaching Latino, black, and white kids the basics of breakdancing from scratch.

A tall and thin black man walked on the beach. He approached the dance venue, watched their wonderful dance scenes, and took off his sunglasses, "You dance very well, can you join us?"

After Ronald finished writing, he read it several times, laughed a few times, and fell asleep satisfied.

This is his second attempt at a Billy Wilder ending. The climax of the original is to win the dance competition championship, but in reality it is impossible to realize the dream of entering Broadway.

The plot is reversed here once, and the audience will feel excited and a little bitter. The real life is like this, where will there be a great gift to reach the sky every day, hitting yourself on the head every day.

The three of them insisted on their nature and did not give up because they liked breakdancing. In the end, they found fun on the street and were accidentally noticed by the emperor superstar.

The movie can come to an abrupt end here, giving the audience ample room for imagination. They were spotted by MJ and went to the dance group? Or be MJ's choreography coach? Or maybe they just met by chance, following the rules of street dancers, after a dance, they parted ways.

On Monday of the second week, the crew resumed filming.

Already knowing they'd get a chance to meet Michael Jackson, several of the lead actors were a little excited. Although they didn't show it on the surface, Ronald could see at the end of the shoot that everyone was trying to bring out all their abilities.

This has helped Ronald a lot. Very energetic actors, they can often improvise difficult dance moves on the set, and some moves are not easy to succeed when they usually practice. For no reason, the dance quality of the film has improved a lot.

On this day, the filming moved to the Debbie Reynolds dance studio.

"Ronald, be careful, I just finished the decoration, and the admissions will be opened next month." Debbie Reynolds still appeared on the set and told Ronald a few words.

"No problem, Ms. Reynolds, I've arranged everything." Ronald took Reynolds to look at his arrangements.

In order to prevent damage to the decoration of the dance classroom, the props covered the mirrors on the four walls with wooden boards, and then carried a few large mirrors of their own.

It is another common shooting plan, replacing the real wall with a fake wall, so that after the shooting is completed, it is easy to dismantle and restore the original state of the dance classroom.

"Well, I'm relieved if you do this. Are you shooting a musical?" Debbie Reynolds looked at the set and asked.

"Yes, Debbie. It's a film about street dance, and I love your song in the rain, and I want my film to be as successful as your masterpiece."

"Hahaha, very few people make musicals anymore. Back then, musicals were the top-grossing genre films." Debbie Reynolds recalled when she was young.

"At that time, there were a group of technicians who specialized in making musicals and dances. Every day, the A-level blockbuster was just finished, and the B-level small production was moved into the set to continue shooting. It was like an assembly line, bang! One movie is finished."

"Singing in the Rain was my first movie. I practiced that dance, and after a day of filming, my dancing shoes were filled with blood from the torn soles of my feet."

Debbie Reynolds looked at Ronald. "I can't believe that there are still dance films. I hope you make it, Ronald."

"This young man is good-looking. If only my daughter's boyfriend, Paul Simon, had his talent. The singers are still unreliable, they are always crying."
