In the gymnasium of California State University, Northbridge, Ronald was checking the exterior scenery. A tall portable advertising stand was opened, and above it was a billboard for the "All Fernando Valley Karate Championship" specially made by the prop master.
"Not bad, very good, your arrangement is very good. This way to truly hold a karate championship, even the contestants and more than half of the audience can perform for free." It was his former boss Roger who praised Ronald.
Coleman.
Ronald specially invited this old friend to serve as a staff member at the check-in desk.
Roger Coleman, wearing glasses and a T-shirt with the word championship on it, sat behind the sign-in desk in a polite manner, like an uncle next door, working voluntarily as a staff member for the children of the championship.
"My investment is eight million, and it will take a lot of time to light the stadium. Roger, I know you are very dissatisfied with this set, and feel that movies should not pursue the ultimate, but this is all between the studio and
Don’t rush to correct the investor’s requirements.”
Ronald knew that Corman had been on TV a few weeks ago. In an interview, he criticized big studios for spending tens of millions to make unsightly movies, while in America there are still many children who don't have enough to eat.
Unable to receive education.
Weintraub was a little worried when he learned that Ronald was asking Roger Corman to guest star.
"Of course, I understand. Your money is spent on filming, and in the end we can see it on the screen." Coleman was not a pedantic person. He looked at Weintraub and quickly stated that he was just doing it.
Group performance.
"This is Mr. Noriyuki Morita. He will play Master Yoda in my movie. When the time comes, he will give you an excuse to correct your pronunciation..."
"Gong Cen Club, Daniel LaRusso, what band?" Roger Coleman slowly found Daniel's name on the registration form and checked it.
"What does it matter?" Master Miyagi asked.
"This is a free-to-register tournament. In order to avoid too large a gap in level, only players with tea belts and above can participate."
"Black belt, young man is a black belt," Miyagi said.
"Black belt, Daniel LaRusso. You'd better hurry up and start now. Go inside and turn right." Roger Coleman lowered his head and ticked the registration form.
Daniel hurriedly ran inside. Ali kissed him and took steps forward. However, when he passed Master Miyagi, he grabbed him.
Ali stopped inexplicably. Miyagi said to the staff member played by Roger Corman, "Hello, sir, this is Miyagi, not Gong Cen." Then he put his hand into the package opened by the staff member.
He quietly took a black belt and handed it to Ali with his backhand.
Ali smiled, hid the black belt in her sweater, and ran into the club.
"Cut!" Ronald stopped taking pictures at the sign-in area, and the others packed up and walked into the stadium.
"Wow..." As soon as I entered the stadium, I felt a wave of heat coming over me. There were nearly a thousand spectators, filling the venue to capacity.
Half of them were extras hired by Weintraub, and the other half were friends and relatives of the competitors who came to compete in the real "All Valley Karate Championships."
Director of photography James Crabb came up and said, "I have arranged a total of six cameras in the auditorium." Then he pointed out to Ronald the locations of the hidden cameras.
The "Dutchman" was so angry that he ignored the referee and pushed Daniel again.
"Huh?" Ronald knew that Chad McQueen did not follow the script here, but acted on his own. Fortunately, Ralph Mazzio did not stop and continued with him.
"You are already a dead person, Danielle! Ah..." Suddenly Chad McQueen lost control and rushed over to beat Ralph Mazzio, who played Daniel.
"Hey, hey..." Ronald knew that Ralph Mazio's thin body could not block the opponent's heavy punch, so he rushed forward to block Chad McQueen regardless of the call to stop.
"Ah..." Ronald grabbed McQueen's collar and grabbed him by the collar. Then he moved his feet and made him lie down. Finally, he rode up and locked his neck with his backhand.
Chad McQueen's face turned red from being suppressed, as if he was trying to break free with great strength. Pat Johnson quickly stepped forward and helped Ronald hold him down.
"Where's the doctor? Check him out." Ronald stepped away and waved for the doctor who was originally going to treat possible sprains in the fight scene to come over and check the second-generation star first.
"Does he have any other scenes later?" Ronald asked the assistant director.
"There was only one scene where the audience cheered."
"Cancel, let's get Ron Thomas on." Ronald pointed to another second-generation star next to him.
Fortunately, the shot just now was really good. Chad McQueen, who was high on drugs, threatened Daniel very realistically.
Shooting continues.
Daniel was a little scared by the threat. He didn't know his karate strength because Master Miyagi had never let him compete with anyone else.
"action!"
Outside the locker room, Ali was waiting anxiously with her black belt in her hand. She didn't know what happened in the locker room and took so long. Daniel was about to check in.
The camera slowly zoomed out from her beautiful chest, and standing next to her was Master Miyagi in a suit.
"Hurry up, Daniel-san, you're going to play soon."
Ali ran over and helped him tie the black belt, then tied it in front of his waist.
"Where did you get the black belt?" Daniel knew that he had not been graded and should not wear the black belt representing a master.
"Given by the Buddha in the temple."
Master Miyagi urged them to hurry up and check in at No. 3 venue.
"Wait a minute, a player can only be on the sidelines with one teacher, and everyone else must go to the auditorium." A staff member came over and stopped Ali.
"He doesn't speak English. If I didn't have a translator, I wouldn't be able to understand his sideline instructions." Daniel immediately made up a lie.
"..." Miyagi understood and immediately spoke a string of Japanese.
"What did he say?" the staff asked Ali.
"Well, he said you look like his uncle in Tokyo."
"Huh?" the staff member smiled, "I think it's okay for you to come in as a translator.
"..." Miyagi said a few more words.
"What?"
"Well, he said you were very kind, thank you."
The three of them continued walking inside, and Daniel asked Miyagi, "What are the rules of this tournament?"
"have no idea."
"Ah? How could you not know?" Daniel was shocked, "I'm done, I'm done today."
"How do I know? It's your first time and it's my first time too."
"No, didn't you have many karate fights with people in Ryukyu?"
"This is a matter of life and death, this is scoring." Master Miyagi didn't care.
Ali couldn't stand it anymore, "Any hits above the waist, whether it's hands or feet, will score points. You can hit the head, chest, abdomen, waist, and back. Do you understand?"
"I hope I understand." Daniel was a little scared. He had never been in the ring.
"orge on, you can definitely get it." Ali squeezed Daniel's shoulder to let him relax.
"Cut! Very good, let's change the camera position and shoot again."
