Chapter 13 The smooth feeling of an artist

Without any interference, the subsequent filming became smoother. Ronald's orders to the staff and actors began to be implemented to the letter, and the entire filming began to speed up.

Daniel chose to participate in the selection of the football team in his physical education class. He dribbled the ball forward and was tackled by a student from the Cobra Dojo Gang. Daniel got up and rushed towards the opponent bravely. The two struggled and was beaten by the football coach.

Both were kicked out of the stadium.

When Daniel returned home, he took out the karate "secrets" he had purchased by mail in New Jersey, and began to practice side kicks according to the postures in the picture. He wanted to practice karate well and defeat Johnny, Ali's ex-boyfriend at the Cobra Gym.

.

The repairman Master Miyagi came to repair the faucet. He saw Daniel kicking his legs and said, "Karate? Very good."

Master Miyagi, played by Noriyuki Morita, looked innocent. When he walked past Daniel, he glanced at the open karate book and asked, "Shall we follow the book?"

"Hey, I studied at the Youth Association (YMCA) for a few months," Daniel answered while resisting the fatigue and pain and kept kicking. He kicked many times and gasped for air. His center of gravity was already a little unstable, but he was still

Continue.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Master Miyagi walked to the opposite side and repaired the faucet. He saw that Daniel's eyes were black.

"I fell while riding a bicycle."

"Oh," Master Miyagi glanced at Daniel, "Luckily, I didn't hurt my hand."

"cut!"

"Great, let's go back and shoot Daniel's over-the-shoulder shot." Ronald yelled.

This was the second encounter between Master Miyagi and Daniel. Miyagi disapproved of the fact that Daniel had no master and was blindly practicing karate from a book. He also knew that Daniel was beaten and wanted to beat him back, but he did not expose the young man.

This encounter clearly revealed Daniel's hard-working character, Master Miyagi's wisdom, and his philosophy of disapproving of karate fighting.

If the audience watches the final completed movie, by the time it reaches this point, most viewers have not guessed that Master Miyagi, the repairman, is the person with the highest karate attainments in the entire film. This is Ronald's deliberate arrangement. Waiting for the two

When people meet their fate for the third time, they feel a sense of sudden enlightenment.

This filming had a budget of 8 million, and with intense rehearsals two weeks before the start of filming, Ronald was able to finesse the appearance of Daniel, Ari, Master Miyagi, and the villain Chris. The entire crew

Among the people, only Ronald knew the important position of these scenes in the finished film.

Seeing that everything was photographed according to his own ideas, Ronald felt like Michelangelo's sculpture of David. Only in the mind of the creator can the final look of the artwork appear, and the joy in it is difficult to tell others.

After the day's shooting was completed, Ronald and the assistant director handed over the arrangements for tomorrow, and then walked out of the filming apartment alone.

"Papa...papa"

Several flashes of light blinded Ronald's vision, and he suddenly didn't know what was happening.

"Ronald! Are you and Brooke Shields a couple?" A reporter thrust the tape recorder in front of Ronald.

It turned out that Brooke Shields' gossip had aroused more people's interest after being fermented by the TV media. The gossip tabloids in Los Angeles found out where Ronald was filming.

"No, we are good friends." Ronald quickly took out his sunglasses and put them on. Brooke Shields's attraction to the news media far exceeded that of his other female friends.

"Then do you have a chance to become a couple?" The gossip reporter refused to let Ronald go.

"We are good friends and have collaborated on some projects. As for the future, I don't know." Ronald answered the question nonchalantly, walked quickly to his Saab 900, and drove back home amidst the sound of reporters taking pictures.

Brooke's charm was unstoppable, and Ronald's answer was immediately altered into a headline in the next Friday morning newspaper.

"Ronald, the actor in Brooke Shields' scandal, is the director of Columbia's new film! He does not deny that he and Brooke may develop into a couple in the future."

Ronald, who still knew nothing about it, continued filming two key scenes the next day.

The first scene was in the cafeteria of Charles Evans Hughes Jr. High School. Daniel, whose dark circles had receded a little, was choosing in front of a row of dishes. The food in public schools in the Valley was much better than in midtown New York.

The high school in "Famous" based on the Academy of Performing Arts is much better.

Daniel picked two sausages, a pie, and asked the cafeteria aunt to add some fried rice. Ali, who was cooking next to him, saw him, came over with a happy smile, and bumped Daniel with her shoulder, "Hi!"

"Hey, there's an Ali here." Daniel was very happy to see the girl come over and have physical contact with him.

"How was your stay in the valley?" Ali asked.

"Not bad, but a little boring."

"More boring than New Jersey, New Jersey?"

"How do you know I'm from Nueva?"

"I asked someone to ask." Ali lowered her head shyly, indicating that she had taken the initiative to inquire about Daniel's origins.

"Cut!" Ronald was very happy with the increasingly good chemistry between Ralph Mazio and Elizabeth Sue. He has made so many movies, and this is the first time the shooting process has been so smooth. It seems that

If you have the chance, stick to this method of intensive rehearsal beforehand.

"Ronald, great!"

Gu Zhu

Weintraub finally finished handling his household chores and returned to the set with Susan Aikins. After watching Ronald's scene, he was also happy with the state of the two protagonists.

"Hi, Jerry", Ronald hugged him happily and nodded to Susan. It seemed that Weintraub had figured out the arrangement for the two women to coexist.

"I heard you fired associate producer Charles Okun?" Weintraub asked quietly.

"He always contradicts me in front of the crew, and I can't work normally. You know, Jerry, once the director loses the trust of the crew, it will be impossible to continue filming. If someone expresses himself in every scene

Views……"

"I know, I know... it's just that your firing was not in line with studio procedures. You know, Okun and his partner, Michael Cimino, took this to Columbia. I have to do something official.

Dismissal procedures.”

"Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have no other choice."

"It doesn't matter, but Columbia's new president David Punant (the one who drove out the original president Frank Price) sent a senior executive to deal with this matter. He proposed to see you this week.

Take the sample photos and then make a decision.”

"Okay, when does he plan to watch it? On the weekend, I'll go to the screening room then." Ronald was confident in the samples he shot.

"No...it's not convenient for you to attend. Don't worry, I will take care of all the problems, Ronald. This matter involves the struggle between the original movie gang in Colombia's top management and the new owner, the Coca-Cola Gang.

I invested in this movie, they just want to put a little pressure on me to choose a side, you understand? I will handle this matter, and you will continue to come to the set as a director next Monday morning."

"Okay, then I'll take a break on the weekend." Ronald understood the implication.

After filming Friday's scene, Ronald went home directly. He started calling friends to talk about the recent situation and vent his bitterness. In fact, how many directors can there be in a crew led by a major studio?

Power can still be earned through one's own performance. He called Cameron, who understood his troubles best.

Jim Cameron just got out of the busy script writing, and both scripts have been written. "Alien 2" was well received and directly entered the script library of 20th Century Fox to be filmed.

"Rambo 2", like Ronald's first draft, was criticized by Stallone as worthless and said that he would need to find someone to revise it from scratch, but they still paid the money according to the letter.

Cameron asked Ronald about the filming situation of his new film. After learning that Ronald had found the feeling, he expressed his impatient anticipation. The casting for his new film has been completed and he is waiting for Schwarzenegger to finish filming "Destroyer"

"Conan" will be released next year.

The second call was to her cousin Donna. When Donna answered the phone, she asked herself, "Are you really in love with Brooke Shields? You are so awesome, the boyfriend of the most beautiful girl in America."

"Huh? It's nothing. She and I are just friends."

"Don't lie to me. I saw you admitted it in today's newspaper. I called your agent. They said you were filming a movie and couldn't be bothered. That's why I didn't call you right away."

"My crew stopped filming over the weekend," Ronald replied, "No, what about me and Brooke falling in love? Where did you hear that? Didn't she clarify it?"

"You really haven't? Hmm..." Donna asked back, "But I read today's gossip newspapers, didn't you say you wouldn't rule out becoming a couple in the future? I thought you two really became a couple. Well, actually, Bo

Ji, the most beautiful woman, is also a bit fake..."

Feeling a little bad, Ronald put down the phone and called his agent.

"You're in the headlines again, Ronald." Niceta said with a smile on the phone, "Listen... Ronald, the actor in Brooke Shields' scandal, is the director of Columbia's new film! He admitted that he may develop into a relationship with Brooke in the future.

Couple."

"They also included your new movie in the report. We don't think there is any need to deny it immediately... Yes, Brooke will officially deny it. This is not a big deal in the entertainment industry. After all, you are not a real couple.

.Terry will have a tacit understanding to handle this matter."

"I..." Ronald was speechless. He was indeed not considered Brooke's official lover.

"Also, there is an executive in Colombia who wants to see my samples. Could you please inquire?" Ronald informed Niceta of Weintraub's statement.

The two discussed for a long time, and Niceta made a few more calls to inquire about the news, and called Ronald back, "You don't have to worry. Within Columbia, the airborne team sent by Coca-Cola wants to bring Columbia's distribution department and CBS,

HBO will be integrated together to form a joint venture to distribute films shot by the three production companies in the country. They are here to put pressure on Weintraub. You can shoot as usual on Monday and treat the weekend as a holiday. But...

Bo Ji, you'd better make a call, it's your interview that got her involved this time."

"Oh, right." Ronald immediately called Brooke's dormitory. The roommate who answered the phone said that she had gone back to her home in New Jersey.

The call came to Brooke's home again, and her mother Terry answered the phone, "Ronald, Brooke will appear on NBC's Today show tomorrow to formally respond to this matter. Okay, it doesn't matter, this is not the case.

Scandal, she hasn't appeared on the TV station's morning show for a long time.

Do you want to say a few words to Brooke? She has gone to bed, and she has to get up early for the morning show tomorrow. I will tell her. Angry? No, no. We know that gossip newspapers write random things in pursuit of sales.

The Today Show is the most-watched daytime talk show in the United States, and they couldn't be better off helping Brooke clarify."

In his desperation, Ronald forgot about the three-hour time difference between the east and west coasts and put down the phone.

"Ring, ring, ring..." The phone rang again and Ronald picked up.

"Ronald, it's me, Diane, will you come and play with my crew tomorrow?"

"Diane? What crew? Haven't you finished filming 'Streets of Rage'?" Ronald was confused.

"Donna told me, you didn't catch Brooke Shields, and your crew stopped filming for the weekend anyway. Why don't you come to my crew to have a look, I'm filming a few more scenes on the 'Streets of Rage' crew, and it will end tomorrow.

There’s a packing party.”

"What about that? I still have to prepare for the filming next week."

"I'm at the original studio. If you want to come, just come." Diane hung up the phone.
