"Patrick, you must sit in the back and wear your seat belt."

Two weeks passed quickly, and the scene at Shanhu Villa was finished. Ronald begins to confirm all the transition sequences.

The troop and the crew rented a big bus, and the equipment was taken away by the trucks that the crew always had. Some individuals came by car. Ronald also allowed them to drive to the location of Groway Park in Asheville, western North Carolina. .

For these actors who drive by themselves, Ronald will personally ask about safety issues.

"Don't let Pat leave the car, you have to work harder." Ronald instructed the staff member who was taking Swayze's ride.

In the end, Ronald got on the big bus himself, went to the last row, and fell asleep in his chair.

"Ah... huh..."

"Here, Ronald, here."

Screenwriter Eleanor came over to shake Ronald, who was exhausted and snoring.

"Ah, it's already here?"

Groway Park in North Carolina was originally a Boy Scout base, and there are many small wooden houses that have not been demolished, just as the residence of the dancers. The set team has repaired the house in the early stage and painted it with white paint. Then make it old.

"The mountain and lake villas here and Virginia originally belonged to the borscht belt, and they were all Jewish holiday circles in Eastern Europe and Russia." David Chapman, the location designer, was very reliable, and introduced Ronald to various places. Happening.

"There's Lake Lure over there, you can shoot scenes in the lake," Chapman said to Ronald, pointing to a lake in the distance.

"We'll go over to see the scene later." Ronald, who was very concerned about the scene, told Chapman.

Chapman has already agreed to sign with Daydream Pictures after filming the film to continue as a location designer for his next film, "Moonlight".

Ronald picked up his luggage and went to the hotel to check in first. This is a Lake Lure spa hotel not far from the park. In autumn, it is also the off-season price, and the whole package is down.

Ronald picked out a single room and put away his luggage. Gave a $20 tip to the waiter.

"Thank you, sir, are you here to make an adult film? We had a crew here before, and you'll find your film in the video store, right?" The waiter put away the money and asked Rhona with a smile. Germany.

"What? Adult movies?"

Ronald was surprised how it was rumored to be an adult film.

"Isn't your name Dirty Dang? I thought... sorry, sir." The waiter quickly apologized when he realized he had misunderstood.

"What's the matter? Emil, come to my room."

Ronald asked his assistants and found that there are indeed many people who misunderstood Dirty Dang as an adult movie. It was privately rumored that they were going to shoot hot springs, holiday cabins, and the natural wilderness by the lake.

"That's how North Carolina is. People are conservative, but the more conservative they are, the more curious they are about similar works of art."

David Chapman, who came over to visit with Ronald, explained to him.

"If you want to change other people's opinions and don't want them to watch, you might as well get a fake movie name and change all the famous brands of the crew."

"I don't have the time, and I don't have the money to make a brand new brand again." Ronald, in a fit of anger, took a movie brand and poked it on his lap.

The sign broke in the middle, and Ronald threw the half that said "Dirty" on the ground, "Go on, in North Carolina, our movies are collectively called 'Dang'."

After watching the scene, Ronald was very satisfied with the work of David Chapman. The railings here are all built in the white style of the Virginia Mountain Lake Resort.

On both sides of the road leading to the hut where the dancers lived, there were half-person-high white street light poles, which Chapman imitated according to the street lights of the Mountain Lake Villa.

At least in the lens, there is not much difference between the two places.

"A!"

Ronald started work that afternoon.

"Hey, it's so cold here."

Unlike Virginia, which is hot like summer, the weather in North Carolina is already like late autumn.

Jennifer Gray, who plays Baby, is wearing a shirt, jeans, rolled up, and a pair of white flats. A gust of wind blew and shivered.

She started dancing to the rhythm of Mambo on a wooden bridge with white railings that continued down the aisle down the mountain.

Jennifer Gray has no dance training like other actors, and her dance level is almost a beginner, so this scene is also a true character.

"Ah..."

Gray didn't jump well, and when the cold wind blew, she became anxious, and she kicked against the white wooden railing.

"Cut! Very good. Let's have another one," Ronald thought, for this kind of performance. Baby collected enough money for Penny for the operation, and offered to replace Penny and partner with Johnny to perform Mambo in another hotel.

In order to dance that hot dance with the new boss, Baby is willing to do anything.

Ronald asked the assistant to bring the wool blanket, and Gray put it on.

The frustration caused by this real practice of difficult dance moves is very real, and it is also the effect that Ronald wants to achieve by not letting Gray practice dance.

Gray went to the trailer, put on a pink vest and denim shorts, and came out to continue shooting.

"A!"

Gray practiced dance moves and climbed the stone steps on the mountain road step by step.

"Cut!"

Ronald hurriedly asked Gray to rest in the trailer.

The temperature is not even 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius), and the cold wind blows even more.

"Patrick?"

Ronald called Swayze, who was going to be filmed below, to come over.

"Hmph..." Jennifer Gray gave the back of her head again.

"Oh, Shxt!"

Ronald threw the baseball cap with the words "Dirty Dang" printed on it, and "Dirty" had been taped off with a tape made of textiles.

"I have to fix this right away."

Ronald called Patrick Schwytz and Jennifer Gray into a room, locked the door, and asked Emile to guard the door, not allowing anyone to approach.

This kind of thing has to be dealt with privately.

"Truth time, what's the matter with you two?"

"I have no problem, Jennifer doesn't seem to be able to stand the real life." Swayze was also angry when he came up. Jennifer is not clear enough about the distinction between work and life.

"How did you tell me when you were auditioning? You said you were going to have a romantic love story with me." Gray was also on fire.

"I..." Swayitz didn't expect Gray to take what he said at that time seriously, it was just the atmosphere at that time.

Ronald is also mad at two young boys and girls. What is the difference between this and the jealous rivalry between high school football players and cheerleaders?

"Can you tell me exactly, can you act?" Ronald thought about revising the script. Now it's definitely not possible to change roles. If the two are so awkward, they have to reduce their roles and give Cynthia more. screen time.

Toned down the main love story of Johnny and Baby, and added more plots of cynthia feminism, pregnancy, and calling the shots.

"I can absolutely, I can get back to the state of audition." Swayze was anxious, the director must have a very bad mind when he said this. It was difficult for him to have a play with an absolute protagonist. He likes this feeling, and he can also sell his songs as a piggyback.

"I...I..." Jennifer Gray only felt aggrieved, and her eyes were red.

It's not that I didn't want to play it well, it's that Swayze went back on his word... lied to himself. And during the filming, I also knew the news that my father was ..., I didn't know whether to be angry or funny for a while.

These men are all liars.

"Okay," Ronald didn't feel good when he saw the heroine crying.

He turned around and opened the luggage. After searching inside for a long time, he finally found a videotape.

"This is the videotape of your audition at the time, and I have kept it. How good was your chemistry at that time? With such a person, it was not easy to have such a good script. I believe that after the release, young audiences in America will remember Live your dance.

Don't let them down, OK? "

Ronald shoved the tape into the VCR in the room, and after a flurry of snow, there was a tacit shot of Gray and Swayze auditioning.

Almost as soon as he saw their chemistry, Ronald took a fancy to them and gave up Sarah Jessica Parker's backup.

Gray cupped her cheeks in her hands, still ignoring Swayze, she was watching the TV, how close she and Swayze were. Although this guy likes to talk big, make out-of-place jokes, and sometimes doesn't take acting seriously enough, he's really handsome.

Swayitz also glanced at Gray secretly. Although this girl is average, she is still very attractive when she is emotional, and her figure is also top-notch.

Ronald watched the two of them carefully, and saw that their hands were getting closer and closer, and finally pulled together, he was relieved, and hurriedly opened the door and went out.

"Damn, I feel like a..." Ronald lit a cigarette and smoked around the corner with assistant director Emile and screenwriter Eleanor, waiting for the hero and heroine in it to get back to each other a feeling of.

Finally, after more than half an hour, I watched the audition video of the two repeatedly. Patrick Thwaites and Jennifer Gray walked out of the room hand in hand again.

"I've talked to Jennifer, and there's no problem with the next confrontation," Thwaites said to Ronald.

Jennifer Gray, still a little shy, took her hand out of Switz's hand in front of everyone

"Well..." Gray's cheeks were still a little red, and he just nodded without saying anything.

"You rest early, tomorrow morning is your play."

After the two protagonists left, Eleanor and Emile came up to congratulate Ronald.

"Don't say it, I'm so tired, you should rest early."

Ronald closed the door, turned off all the lights, and lay in bed by himself.

In order to succeed in making this movie, which he invested in, it can be considered that he has used every trick.
