"Danny raised his hands above his head to confuse the opponent. He raised his injured left foot on one foot and stood only on his right foot. This action confused the opponent, who didn't know what Danny wanted to do.
Danny then jumped up with his right foot that was still on the ground and hit Johnny in the face with his right foot before landing on his right foot."
Ronald described the final blow to his agent Richard, "Do you know what I mean?"
"I... I don't really understand. But since you wrote it like that, it must make sense. Maybe it will be great when filmed, just like the few times when Regina knocked down the zombies in your 'Night of the Comet'"
Richard replied.
"Here, let me demonstrate it to you." Ronald made an action similar to that of a white crane drying its wings, and then took off with difficulty with his right foot, trying to lift his right foot to kick towards the opposite side.
This kind of action that goes against human body mechanics is difficult to do. Ronald's right foot only reached his waist and fell down.
"In short, that's what it means. Do you think the audience will like it? This is a trick that was hidden by Danny. When the situation was critical in the end, the protagonist Danny used it and defeated the opponent with one blow."
"Perhaps you need to find an actor who is light-hearted. Your performance is not convincing enough."
"I knew that with such a light kick, with one foot on the ground, how could the opponent not be able to guard against it? This kind of kick is obviously very slow. Whether it is dodging or blocking, it is not very effective.
Difficult thing." Ronald gave up the demonstration.
Although he felt that it was very unreasonable to use such a trick to win the decisive battle, Ronald still respected the images in the dream. After all, this was a classic movie that had been tested in his previous life and was also recorded on video tape. If he rashly changed it, would he be in trouble?
Changing it in a good direction is also a question.
In short, Ronald decided that he needed to find more people to discuss, not only to listen to the opinions of martial arts experts, but also to listen to the opinions of ordinary viewers.
"What trick should I use?" Ronald began to mutter again.
"Ring ring ring ring..."
The phone rings at inopportune times.
"Hello...who is it?" Ronald's train of thought was interrupted and he asked unceremoniously.
"Is this director Ronald Lee?"
"It's me, what's the matter?" The caller had a British accent that was not very standard, and Ronald was a little angry. Are these sales callers starting to learn the accent from the other side of the Atlantic?
After going around and around, in the end it always comes back to the almost unified saying of whether you need a Porsche or a Ferrari sports car to suit your identity.
"I'm Stanley. Congratulations on your movie's success. I went to see it. It was shot very well with such a small budget, and the special effects are especially wonderful."
"Then thank you." Ronald replied sarcastically. When was it the turn of a sports car salesman to evaluate his movie?
"I have a few questions to ask you..."
"Who are you?" Ronald replied. Today's salesmen are becoming more and more careless, and they don't even need to introduce themselves.
"I'm Stanley, didn't Steven tell you?"
"What Steven? Which one is Stanley?"
"I'm Stanley Kubrick."
"Who?" Ronald became angry. Even if he sells cars, he still wants to take advantage of himself? He mentioned the name of Stanley Kubrick, the senior director who had filmed "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "The Shining"
I borrowed them all, is this just trying to be my senior out of thin air?
"Then I'm still Billy Wilder." Ronald hung up the phone, and he also mentioned the name of an earlier famous director.
"What's wrong?" Richard asked quickly after reading Ronald's script and seeing Ronald's angry face.
"Another call to sell a sports car."
"Are you still going to buy a sports car?" Richard asked.
"Let's wait for now. European sports cars are so expensive, and now is not the time for me to use such an expensive car."
"Actually, you can ask first. Some sports car models require advance booking."
"Hey, don't mention it. Last time I went to the dealer, I left a phone number. As a result, I have been receiving sales calls every day for the past two days. I was really annoyed. But I unplugged the phone line because I was afraid of missing important calls.
"
"You can try installing an answering machine. Our office is starting to install one now."
"That thing is very expensive. It's exclusive to AT&T. It costs several thousand dollars. It can only record ten calls. I'm afraid that the number of sales calls I'll make in half a day will be more than this number."
"No, I'm not talking about the standard one from the phone company. It's a new model from Japan. It's recorded on tape and can record calls for a long time. You can record a welcome message yourself, and you can also call when you're not at home.
Play the recording yourself with the password."
"Isn't this okay? The last time I asked someone to buy it, they said that the phone company was forced to install their own certified answering machine, otherwise they would be forced to remove it."
"Hahaha, don't you read the financial news? AT&T has been sued for monopoly by the Ministry of Justice. On January 1 next year, they will be split into seven companies to compete freely. They will no longer be allowed to compete.
They force users to use the telephones and answering machines they bundled with them."
"That's great. Can you help me buy one? I just need this thing."
"I'll ask the supplier over at the office to send one over." Richard wrote down this matter in his notebook.
"Ring, ring, ring..." The phone rang again.
"Hello, I'm Ronald, who are you?"
"It's me, Stephen."
"It's you, Mr. Spielberg. What have you been busy with recently?" Ronald recognized that the person was the great director Spielberg.
"I'm currently preparing for the second part of George's Raiders of the Lost Ark. His Star Wars trilogy is over. There will be a party. You can come with me then."
"Okay, thank you for the invitation, I will definitely go."
"Hey, there's something I forgot to tell you. Yesterday, Mr. Stanley Kubrick asked me for your phone number. He wanted to talk to you about some details of "Night of the Comet"..."
"Oh, shxt," Ronald thought, it was really Kubrick. "Sorry, Steven, I thought he was a fake salesman, so I hung up on him." Ronald said sarcastically.
"I know, Stanley called me. You'd better call him back. His number is..."
"Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Kubrick. I'm Ronald Lee." Ronald dialed the phone number.
"Wait a minute, I'll call him." The secretary put down the phone and went to find Kubrick.
"Hello, I'm Stanley." After a while, Kubrick's British accent with a bit of American flavor came from the microphone.
"Um...Mr. Kubrick, I'm Ronald, I'm very sorry..."
"Don't take it to heart, I just want to ask you a few questions. Also, just call me Stanley." Stanley Kubrick didn't care much about etiquette and immediately asked Ronald a few questions.
Details of the shoot.
“How did you capture the red color of the sky?”
"Filter."
"Same as I thought." Kubrick made a tick in his notebook with a pencil. These were some of the doubts he wrote down after watching "Night of the Comet".
"How did you make your opening title? As far as I know, using the kind of machine used by Lucas Star Wars titles, one title costs more than one million U.S. dollars, and your movie budget is obviously not enough."
"The ADO special effects machine I use has just been launched, and the effect is pretty good."
"ado", Kubrick wrote down the name in his notebook.
"That calcified red dust, how did you find such a pure dark red color and very fine dust? Was it made by your special effects director? You can just tell me his name."
"Well, that's the result of crushing the red bricks, grinding them, and sifting them through a very fine sieve. My special effects director is James Cameron."
"Ha, I've heard of his name, and his scripts are circulating in Hollywood now." Stanley Kubrick replied.
"There's another question. If you think it's your secret and needs to be kept secret, you don't have to answer it."
"Please, Mr. Kubrick."
"How did you take that shot of a deserted morning in the city? I asked about your budget. That little money was simply not enough for the city government to cooperate and clear out that block. Did you use any special method? According to
Draw the background with perspective proportions, then place it in front of the camera, and use the principle of perspective to block the characters in the camera?
I know that early Hollywood directors, Chaplin and Harold Lloyd, all used this method of filming."
"Hahaha, you asked about that shot, Stanley. In fact, I don't have any special effects methods at all, because the real estate developer has not yet started selling commercial and residential real estate there on a large scale. Only a few office workers go there every day. That day
It was a weekend morning, so there was no one around."
"That's it, I didn't expect that. Regarding these questions, I also want to congratulate you on making a wonderful movie with such a low budget. Do you have anything to ask me?" Stanley Kubrey
K ticked the last column of questions.
"Me? It doesn't matter. Can you tell others what you just praised me for?"
"Hahaha, goodbye." Kubrick laughed for the first time and hung up the phone.
