Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Latest website: "Lynne needs to stay in the hospital for a long time. She needs surgery and a period of hospitalization for observation." Field manager Eddie came back from the hospital and poured hot tap water on his face for a while. .

"Fortunately, you bought insurance for everyone on the crew." Ronald took out two bottles of Coke from the refrigerator, threw one to Eddie, and then opened it with a snort and drank it.

Medical bills are expensive, and when combined with the cost of an ambulance, the numbers on the bill are dizzying. Fortunately, the crew bought insurance for everyone, plus the medical insurance paid by Lynn herself in the Actors Guild, the crew didn't have to pay too much extra cost for this accident, and most of them were covered by insurance.

"I feel that the weather in recent years is very abnormal. I asked the waiter at the hotel. It's okay to wear a jacket at this time in previous years. But it just fits the time when the story in the movie takes place in summer."

Eddie drank the ice Coke and sighed with satisfaction, "Ronald, I think we need to recruit a live doctor from the crew. You still have a few group scenes, and if you suffer from heat stroke by one or two actors, you will be bad. already."

"Come on, you can find one that suits you." Ronald sighed, all kinds of accidents, the final result will become the reason for overspending. The reserve funds on the account are rapidly being consumed in various unexpected things.

The on-site doctor, which is only needed for shooting dangerous scenes, is actually unnecessary in this musical. But it's close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius), which is still worrying.

...

"cut!"

Ronald stopped filming.

As soon as Jennifer Gray heard the cut, she turned her head and walked straight to the lounge without speaking to Patrick Swayze, who was playing opposite.

Ronald looked at Swayze, who shrugged and shook his head to himself, saying he didn't know what was going on.

"What the hell happened? Is it too hot?"

Ronald took a bottle of water and poured it into his mouth, then poured a little on his neck and chest.

The weather is terrifyingly hot, and the indoor lighting is baking, it looks like 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius), and it is almost burnt.

In the face of the actors who are baked by the headlights, it is even worse. Ronald tried it with a thermometer and it was over 110 degrees Fahrenheit (44 degrees Celsius).

Ten minutes rest,

Ronald asked his assistant to call Jennifer Gray.

"It's here, hey, don't bother me, don't rush." ​​Gray came out of the lounge, with a look of you don't mess with me, and stood angrily to the starting position.

"!"

This time the filming went relatively smoothly. Jennifer walked up to Ronald after filming, "Director, how did I shoot?"

"Very good, this time is very good. For the sake of insurance, I want you to change the performance and use... to express your yearning and enthusiasm for dance."

"Okay... I'm going to rest first."

After Gray and Ronald communicated, he turned the back of his head to Swayze and walked back to rest.

By noon, Ronald had discovered that the signs were bad. The male and female protagonists only have eye contact during filming. Before and after filming, they were unwilling to look at each other, and left after filming.

This scene at Mountain Lake Villa is easy to handle. When we go to North Carolina, there are many intimate scenes between the two of them. Such an atmosphere is definitely not good for filming.

"Is Mrs. Thwaites gone?"

Ronald asked screenwriter Eleanor.

"Already gone, the airport I sent to."

That episode of Thwaites, which was cast in the movie, and his wife stayed one night and went back to Los Angeles.

"I thought Jennifer would be professional enough, hey..."

Ronald felt depressed for a while. Had known that Mrs. Thwaites wouldn't have sent samples of the episode.

What can we do now?

The heroine must be coaxed before the transition to North Carolina.

"Should I temporarily lift the ban on contact between male and female actors and actresses?"

Ronald asked Eleanor.

"Is this...isn't it fair to the other actors? And you're too obvious."

Ronald is talking about his ban on physical contact between actors and actresses.

The key to the success or failure of this film lies in the chemistry between the dance partners when the protagonists dance the mambo. Many times, it is necessary to see the sexual tension between men and women in the camera.

The husband and wife of both parties were in love with each other, and their hearts were full of longing, but they could not be relieved. At this time, the hormones of both sides will make both sides full of desire for what is to come.

And the mambo dance with this desire is the original meaning of "spicy body dance (literally translated as dirty dance)", which uses the body instead of words to flirt between men and women.

This desire will be captured in the camera, and when the audience sees it on the screen, as a special instinct of young men and women, they will immediately discover the unusual ambiguous smell in the middle. That's one of the big selling points of the movie.

All people, especially young people, yearn for romantic love and physical commitment.

All actors and actresses can have this kind of sexual tension in order to be in front of the camera.

On the one hand Ronald agreed and even encouraged that every night all the actors danced in the hall and danced disco, accumulating the attraction between men and women.

But on the other hand, he also strictly prohibited any contact between men and women, even hugging and kissing.

The hormones that are provoked by the dance party every day will gradually accumulate in the body, but will not be released, and finally reach the peak, and they will be released in the dance scenes.

But there was a knot between Jennifer Gray and Patrick Swayze, and Ronald was worried that they would not be together when the transition came, so he wanted to take advantage of the time to temporarily relax their ban and let them Rediscovering that feeling of intimacy when you auditioned.

"Your idea is good, but it's too direct. This is a natural process. If you do it too deliberately, it will be difficult for Jennifer and Patrick to regain the feeling in front of everyone."

The screenwriter Eleanor understands the minds of girls very well, especially Jewish girls. Growing up in a slightly conservative and closed environment, she is more reserved about this kind of thing.

"What you said also makes sense. Let's watch while filming."

Ronald put the annoying things aside and continued to direct the shooting.

"All the guests spread out, leaving the center position for Patrick and Cynthia. They will show the highest skills of ballroom dancing. All the actors must leave enough space for their performances. Please look at the signs on the ground."

Ronald sat on the big rocker arm and directed the scene with the DP.

Johnny and Penny, theoretically hired by the resort to dance with them. They don't just show fun dancing to keep guests interested. More to be their dance teacher, to the very generous VIP guests, but also to accompany them to dance, as a professional dancer or dancer.

Filming this evening was the first time the two showed their abilities in front of Hausman and other guests.

"Boom...boom,..."

The unique rhythm of the mambo sounded, and the guests were chatting in piles. The actor who plays the hotel owner is introducing two performers to everyone.

The camera moves along the line of sight and begins to capture the professional dance moves of Swayze and Cynthia, all while taking in the lively scene in the lobby of the resort.

This is the first big scene after the opening, and it is also a scene that sets the tone of the movie. It is also a scene where baby discovers the charm of dancers and wants to replace Penny and be Johnny's dance partner.

"Who is that?" Jennifer Gray played the baby, whose dance partner is the son of the resort owner.

"Ah, dancers. They're here to make the guests happy."

"cut!"

After filming the scene where the baby secretly looked at Johnny, Jennifer Gray turned her head back immediately and didn't look at Schwytz.

"Make way for a circle..."

Ronald didn't have time to deal with Gray's problems, and he directed all the group performances, forming a circle to make room for Patrick and Cynthia to play.

Cynthia Rhodes wore a special dance suit, pink, with some thin straps tied down the back.

The two danced very well, Swayze's footsteps were strong, and Cynthia's high heels, driven by the movement of her knees, were inserted into the ground very powerfully like a model's catwalk.

A hook rotation, skirt flying. Then there was a dazzling high leg raise, surrounded by a circle, and the guests who were also dancing mambo exclaimed.

"cut!"

Ronald called Swayze, "You turn the difficulty down a little bit. The Johnny you play has no professional dance training. He was born in a wild way, and he can't dance as well as you."

"Okay," Thwaites gestured ok, then raised his hand and asked Cynthia to continue. The two tried to dance for a while, and Ronald nodded that he could.

"Why don't you let Cynthia turn down the difficulty too?" Thwaites joked, looking at Ronald.

"Pretty girls are free," Ronald smiled, nodding to Cynthia.

What a joke, I have to rely on Cynthia's charming figure to sell tickets.

"Well..." Cynthia Rhodes's eyes shone brightly, and the movie "Dragon Flying Phoenix" in which she played the lead role did not allow her to earn resources. This time, although she is the second female, she got this opportunity to show herself to the fullest.

"!"

The two continued to dance the mambo, the camera was aimed at them, and the group performance automatically spread out, showing a circle around them.

All the audience, the focus of attention, will be brought together on them.

Cynthia turned a few times in succession, then turned her back to Swayze, and the two made a few moves.

"So, so..."

Under the strong drumbeat, Cynthia raised one leg high above her head and placed it on Thwaites' shoulder.

Thwaites took her legs and stepped back. This gesture caused the surrounding group to exclaim.

The drums began to pick up again, and the camera jerked close to Cynthia's side, turning the camera into a close-up of her alone.

Cynthia made a few more turns and moved towards the middle of the hall. The camera closely captured her graceful dance, and her skirt flew up like a peacock opened its screen.

She turned back and, with a jump, landed on Swayze's shoulder.

Swayitz held Cynthia, let her head down like a beautiful swallow, and spread her arms like swallow's wings. This thrilling action shocked the group.

"cut!"

After dancing again, Cynthia was sweating on her forehead, and Ronald personally delivered the towel and ice water.

"It's too hot, ask the assistant to bring more ice cubes, I'm afraid someone will suffer from heat stroke." Ronald instructed his assistant Emil.

"Okay," Emil went to arrange.

"Ronald...Director...How is my acting?" Cynthia looked at Ronald and asked.

Cynthia stopped, and the sweat started to come out non-stop. Her face is very beautiful, and she doesn't wear too much makeup under the sweat, but under the strong light, she is still a very good beauty in the camera frame.

"Very good. You and Patrick worked well together. Good job, Patrick."

Patrick Thwaites turned his head quickly.

Ronald took a look, and there was Jennifer Gray waiting for the next shot.

Swayze was so annoyed by Gray's behavior that he ignored Jennifer now, turned his head away after filming himself.

"Oh, shxt!" Ronald covered his head.

"Uh, Ronald, don't be angry, they just haven't grown up and are angry with each other." Cynthia came over to comfort

"It's alright, your face is covered in sweat." Ronald picked up the towel and wiped it for her twice, finding that the action seemed too ambiguous, and handed the towel back to Cynthia.

"Ahem, we're preparing for the next shot."

The camera is reversed and the same music plays, this time to the baby and her dance partner, the hotel owner's son.

"Uh, they shouldn't show off their skills, so who will buy their dance lessons? Anyway, they can't learn it." The hotel owner's son is also a Jewish actor, with a typical Jewish nose and a businessman's rhetoric. in persuasion.

The camera shifted slowly, and the baby next to him was photographed.

Then slowly draw closer.

Jennifer Gray looks at the camera, with Patrick Thwaites in the back.

Her eyes twinkled, her expression as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

When baby saw Johnny and Penny dancing, she felt envious and wanted to dance that nerve-wracking dance with Johnny herself.

"cut!"

Ronald looked at Jennifer Gray's performance and it was brilliant. She looked at the camera with an expression like a girl was pregnant for the first time. It's the first time I'm chasing an idol, and I want to replace it, just like the actress next to the idol.

"It seems that there is still a chemical reaction. It's just that I'm angry and jealous, and I don't want to talk." Ronald thought to himself.

"Boom", a loud noise came from behind Ronald. He looked back and saw an old lady fainted on the ground.

"Doctor, where's the doctor?"

Ronald cursed in his heart, this is another accident.

Invited by Eddie, the resident doctor quickly walked to the front, loosened the neckline for the old lady, and then touched her body temperature.

"Bring some ice cubes..." the doctor shouted.

In such hot weather, the air conditioner cannot be turned on for filming, which will disrupt the operation of the camera. The old lady has a heat stroke.

"She's doing okay. It's too hot on set, and the lights are on, so the body temperature is over 115 degrees Fahrenheit. But I have to send her to the hospital for an infusion, or she may develop a deadly heat stroke."

The doctor put the old lady who played the supporting role into the car and drove down the mountain.

"Put more ice cubes, put more iced drinks, and you can't get heatstroke on the set anymore." Ronald hurriedly made amends and ordered his assistants to buy another batch of iced drinks from the hotel.

"It's a lot of money again, and iced drinks classes in hotels aren't cheap."

Thinking of filming at night, Ronald felt a pain in his flesh again, and the overrun of the filming was a bit serious.
