Exploiting Hollywood 1980

   Chapter 481 Final Four Battle

   "Which field am I? No. 3?" Daniel put on Sakura's headband and walked into a sub field.

   "Why is that person kneeling there?" Daniel's opponent had already arrived on the field, and he turned his back to Daniel and knelt on the ground in a contemplative state.

"do not know."

   "Don't you have anything to tell me?" Daniel felt more and more that Master Miyagi was really unreliable. In fact, it was the battle ceremony of the opponent's genre.

   "Go ahead, you can score with your hands and feet."

  Daniel walked onto the arena in fear.

   "Cut!" Ronald, on a large rocker arm, and the director of photography, Carab, watched the shooting in person.

   "No, do it again. Ralph, you have to go faster. Recite one-two-one."

   is still the long shot of the three masters and apprentices entering the scene, this time it was shot with an overhead shot. It may be that Ralph Mazio was a little tired, and he still failed to meet the requirements after taking it a dozen times.

   But after all, he was the highest paid actor in the crew, Ralph Mazio nodded and began to brew his emotions again.

   "Action!"

   "Go ahead, you can score with your hands and feet."

   "Cut!"

  The shooting was over, and the director of photography finally nodded to Ronald and said yes. Ralph Mazio lay on the ground, exhausted by the continuous emotional preparation and output.

   The manager hurried up to give him a glass of water and an energy bar. Ronald noticed that it was not a Coca-Cola product. Ralph Mazio doesn't know why he's particularly resistant to endorsement ads in movies. The last time I asked him to take a shot of drinking a soda with a Sprite logo in his hand, he was inked for a long time.

   "Take a good rest, it's all your shots." Ronald told Ralph and walked to another field, where there was action assistant Daryl Vidal.

  Vidal, also wearing a karate suit, is preparing for a fight with Ron Thomas.

  This shot was originally for Chad McQueen, but he's still sobering up.

   "Ha!" The second star, Ron Thomas, used all his strength to punch Vidal.

  Vidal squatted down, dodging the fist, then turned around and squatted and kicked, hitting the opponent's chest.

   "Score!" The referee next to him raised his hand.

   "Cut!" Ronald was particularly pleased with this shot. Vidal's posture is beautiful, and he looks like a trainer. On the other five venues, there are real karate competitions going on, and more than half of the audience are relatives and friends of real players, so everyone is watching the competition of their own players, and there is no situation where the audience is staring at the camera.

   The effect of such a lens is very similar to that of Daniel and others participating in a real karate competition.

   "Continue!" Vidal changed another opponent, who was also a player of Cobra Gym. He looks very big, like a mountain of meat.

   "Action!"

  Vidal came and turned and kicked, hitting the opponent with one kick. His movements are unrestrained and unrestrained, making the audience applaud for him.

   "Cut!"

   "Puchi", Pat Johnson and the real karate masters from several dojos in the back couldn't help laughing.

"Sorry", Pat knew that he shouldn't laugh, but he couldn't help it a little. Ronald had already ignored the basic principles of martial arts in order to look good. It would be easy to be turned around in front of the enemy and use his back kick to score points. The opponent seizes the weak point to attack.

   And in order to have a beautiful posture, Vidal deliberately made the back kick very slowly, which made the audience enjoyable to watch.

  The shooting here was completed, and Ronald immediately called William Zebka.

   He played Johnny, the previous champion and the number one player in the Cobra Dojo. The movements Ronald designed for him were the kind of neat and ferocious.

   "Action!"

   The opponent in the first round was a young man who looked pretty good. Johnny was calm, even posing casually in preparation.

   The opponent was intimidated by the strength of his defending champion and sent a tentative punch.

  Johnny didn't care about the opponent's temptation at all, he caught the opponent's punch with one hand, then raised his right foot to hang the opponent's right arm, and flicked his calf to hit the opponent's head.

   "snap", hit the opponent's head, get three points, and eliminate the opponent with one move.

  The camera swept away, and the trio of Daniel, Ali, and Miyagi, who were watching the game, understood the offensive style of the Cobra Dojo very clearly.

   "Cut!"

   Continuously filmed Johnny with one move to defeat the enemy. Two players who have entered the semi-finals have been produced.

   "Ralph, how are you?" Ronald asked about Ralph Mazio's state. After a dozen NGs just now, can his concentration continue to shoot action scenes.

   "I have to rest for a while." Mazio told the truth, and the manager brought him a special lunch.

   Ronald announced that the crew had lunch, and he also lined up to get a portion, sat down with Morita Noriyuki, and ate with Elizabeth Sue.

   "Coca-Cola?" Morita Noriyuki didn't get out of character, still using that tattered Eastern tourist-style English.

   "Yeah, I love it, and I bought some of their stock."

   "Morita, I don't earn much, so I also buy some stocks." Morita is still selling cuteness.

   "Is this stock good? I want to buy some too. The crew doesn't pay much." Elizabeth Su also asked next to her.

   "I don't know, I just think their dividends are pretty good, four times a year, enough for my living expenses." Ronald shrugged. The salary of the two is really not high compared to Ralph Mazio. Morita Noriyuki, in particular, has only a mere $30,000.

   "Would you like some sushi?" Morita opened his lunch box, which contained a loving lunch made by his wife Morita Yuki.

   "Ah, so cute." Elizabeth Su also came over, the sushi was made into a cute cartoon pattern, she picked up a piece and ate it.

   "Hahaha", Ronald also took a piece, to be honest, it tastes good, Morita Noriyuki is a lucky husband.

   After lunch, rest is over.

   Ronald saw that Ralph Mazio's concentration was gradually regaining and was ready to start filming his way to promotion.

   In the first game, Daniel still had a lot of fear in his heart. On the one hand, he has never competed with others, and on the other hand, Master Miyagi does not know anything about the rules of the tournament, which makes him a little distrustful of the game strategy that Miyagi said.

   "Hi..." The other party saw that he was flinching, thinking that Daniel was a weak hand, and came up and kicked Daniel in the chest.

  Daniel's eyes are quick and his hands are quick, and his subconscious automatically uses the "waxing style" to defend this kick. But he was kicked back and forth by the explosive force of the opponent and went out of the sideline.

   Master Miyagi supported him, then gave him a wink and told him to go up.

  Ali kept encouraging, "Be strong, Daniel, go up and kill him."

  An operator from Steadicam, a motion stabilizer, took the camera and turned 360 degrees to Daniel's head. Take a look at the bottomless state of mind in his heart.

   "Start!" The referee made a slash next to him, signaling both sides to continue.

   Then the other party made another improvement and hit Daniel in the face. Such weak chickens would cry as long as they punched and kicked in the face. The opponent was full of contempt for Daniel.

  Daniel started to back off again.

  Master Miyagi went up to support his back to cheer him up, "Remember, defend first, concentrate all your strength before punching, pay attention to balance, and hit hard."

  Daniel gained confidence from his master and stepped back on the field to face his opponent.

   "Cut!"

  The Steadicam photographer signaled that the desired footage had been captured.

   "Go ahead, get ready for the second scene." Ronald quickly adjusted the camera. This time, the action scene of the battle between the two was shot with a static camera instead of a Steadicam.

   "Look, if you go out of bounds for the third time, I'll give you a point." Pat Johnson, the referee, said to Daniel. This is his old line, and Pat was originally a certified senior referee in karate and donate.

   "Both sides are ready, let's start!" Pat gave the two players the space to fight.

   The opponent still rushed over, and Daniel was finally no longer afraid. With his extraordinary balance ability, he swung to the left, just like when he was practicing on a boat, avoiding the opponent's punch.

   He quickly moved to the opponent's side and kicked the opponent's chest.

   Due to the momentum of the opponent rushing over, this kick did not exert much force, but it caused a lot of damage to the opponent.

   "Daniel, good job, come again!" Ali cheered from below. Her ex-boyfriend Johnny is the defending champion, so Ali understands the rules of karate and will also wear a black belt for Daniel.

  According to the rules of this Valley Championship in California, kicking the opponent's chest is two points, so as long as Daniel scores again, no matter how many points, he can get three points and win the game.

   The opponent rushed over in annoyance, and Daniel attacked again. A flower cloth made from the waves dodged and knocked on the opponent's arm in a circle.

  Daniel didn't use force, this time it didn't hurt, but it made his opponent fall to the ground and he was eliminated.

  "Cut!" Ronald changed his position again,

   This time Daniel's opponent is a **** man. Ronald has always paid attention to balancing race in movies. With the Latino friends Daniel knew at the beginning of the movie, Ronald will not forget to arrange a black opponent for him before the end of the game.

   "Hi!" Daniel's confidence increased, he saw the gap between the opponent's legs, a faster front leg, and kicked before the opponent.

   "Ah", the black player fell to the ground and shouted wildly.

   "Cut!"

   "There's some truth to this trick," Pat Johnson said to Ronald. Daniel is a thin boy, agility and balance are his strengths, strength is not. This kind of post-attack, using dodge and agility to concentrate on breaking through the opponent's defense, also makes sense in the real world.

   "But Daniel's level can't beat him."

"Hahaha, we're making a movie, look at the image, and the expert can say it makes sense." Ronald turned the camera and asked the photographer to focus on several of the Cobra Dojo, including Johnny, the Dutchman, and their Master Chris.

   They also noticed Daniel's success, and began to really pay attention to this thin boy.

  The last game to enter the semi-finals was Daniel against the Dutch.

   After a few hours of calm, Chad McQueen finally stopped his red eyes and looked awake.

   "Can you?" Ronald asked.

  "I can do it", Chad McQueen was eager to try, he seemed to have forgotten his impulsive energy just now.

Weintraub came over and pressed Ronald's shoulders from behind, "His father was the late tough guy, Steve McQueen, and we need to borrow his father's legacy to promote the movie. "

   "Okay, get ready." Ronald also knew the purpose of finding these second-generation stars to play supporting roles, and let them be knocked to the ground by Daniel one by one. Teenage audiences love to watch this kind of counterattack.

   "Action!"

   Chad McQueen was so excited, he kept jumping, as if imitating the movements of his childhood idol, Bruce Lee. Xiaobu quickly stepped backwards, with the left foot in front for a while, and the right foot in front for a while, changing the position.

   "Uncle, Uncle!" He imitated Bruce Lee's signature voice, and then pushed his crotch forward.

   "Cut!" Ronald was furious, stepped forward and gave Chad McQueen a slap on the back of the head, "What the **** are you doing! Waste everyone's time and film."

  Chad McQueen was about to have a seizure, but when he saw it was Ronald, he recalled the tragic situation he had just subdued, and shrank back.

   "I can't help it."

   "What are you?" Ronald found out the reason why Chad's hips were upright, the kid had something stuffed in his crotch and looked bulging.

   "It's socks, my father said that as long as they are stuffed like this, they will look masculine on the screen."

   "Okay, let's go", Ronald shook his head, this second generation star thought he was the protagonist.

   "Action!"

   "Ah...ah..." Chad McQueen stopped calling uncle, he stepped forward and kicked Daniel in the face.

  Daniel flicked to the left with his set move.

   Chad McQueen kicked his foot back the other way.

"what!"

   This move was not according to the pre-rehearsed move, and Ralph Mazio was kicked in the nose. He covered his nose and squatted down.

   His manager rushed up, "Ralph, are you all right?"

   "I'm fine", Ralph Mazio was kicked to tears.

   He stood up and waved his hand, indicating that he had no major problem.

   "You have blood." Ronald found that Ralph Mazio's nose was broken, "Doctor, doctor!"
