"Tom's beer is really good. It's rare that he specially shipped it from Los Angeles. He also made barbecue on site. Everyone also got a bag of small cakes. Now the morale of my boys has been greatly improved."
The director of photography, Kimball, came to the filming set the next day and loudly praised Cruise's generosity to Ronald.
Unlike Val Kilmer who only invited the actors to drink beer together, Tom Cruise made more thoughtful arrangements. He brought delicious food from Los Angeles, rented out the base bar, entertained all the crew members who were willing to come, and also invited all the staff at the base to a banquet.
Pilots are open.
"You didn't drink too much, did you?" Ronald glanced at the camera crew.
"No, Tom ordered it."
Ronald nodded with satisfaction, Paula Wagner always did things flawlessly.
On the sand next to the beach, a beach volleyball court was blocked off with ropes.
Under the dazzling sunshine in the afternoon, Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, and Anthony Edwards and Rick Rossovich, who played the two radar officers, were all shirtless and wearing dog tags.
Wearing breathable three-quarter tight trousers, she came on the court barefoot.
"Oil them," Ronald pointed to the four actors who were on stage. Several makeup artists took olive oil and applied it on their naked bodies. The skin under the sun, with the blessing of olive oil, became
Like ancient Greek statues, it shows the charm of the human body.
This time Cruise and Val Kilmer were on opposite sides of the net, and they were not afraid of bumping into the same half of the face again.
"action!"
All four actors can play volleyball and have very good physical fitness. They have been exercising their muscles all year round. Playing beach volleyball at the height of the women's competition net is not a problem at all. Even the shortest Tom Cruise can spike the ball.
Ronald let them play by themselves and asked the director of photography Kimball to turn on the camera and take all these shots, and then choose the good ones.
The competition between the two sides was very strong. After all, Val Kilmer was tall enough and dunked several good balls in a row, which made the partners of Tom and Anthony lose their temper.
"Yeah!" Rick Rosovich, who played Iceman's radar officer Slider, was happy and posed for the camera to show off his muscles.
"Did you get that shot?" Ronald asked Kimball as the photographer stopped to change film.
"It's all captured." Kimball indicated that he had captured the bodybuilder's movements just now.
The photography assistant over there has quickly packed a new roll of film into a black bag.
Ronald nodded, "Let's continue."
"Yeah!" Tom finally took off and hit a dunk, high-fiving Anthony Edwards in celebration.
"cut!"
Ronald stopped, and Kimball nodded to him, indicating that the capture was good.
This is how it is when making a movie. If the director wants to make whoever is more powerful, he should keep more of his scenes. Although Val Kilmer killed Tom Cruise on the scene and had almost no power to fight back, as long as this killing scene is retained,
Cut out some of Val Kilmer's scenes, and the Lone Ranger is still a competitor on par with Iceman.
Val Kilmer was very happy. Today he did a lot of great things to show to the camera. He showed off his muscles, posed, and took close-up shots of his strong upper body and the power of his spikes. The happiest thing was that he showed off his muscles to the camera.
There were many close-ups of his handsome face, more than Cruise.
Feeling satisfied, he had a better attitude toward the director, "Director, how was my performance today?"
Ronald gave him a thumbs up.
Under the sunset, a few strong men played beach volleyball. Ronald felt that the male sex quota in this movie had almost been filled, and the remaining scenes would include some sexy beauties.
"We'll call it a day and shoot the scene where the Lone Ranger goes on a date at Charlie's house tomorrow." The assistant director got Ronald's permission and started issuing announcements for tomorrow.
"I'm treating you all to a Japanese meal today." Val Kilmer seems to be on a par with Tom Cruise, and the level of the two of them treating guests to dinner is also rising.
Sure enough, both men avoided attending each other's parties.
Ronald saw Tom Cruise, along with Paula, packing his things and whispering to director of photography Kimball.
It seems that everyone wants to keep more shots of masculine charm.
Ronald grinned. He didn't object to this kind of thing. As long as it didn't go too far, it would promote the atmosphere of the performance.
On the second day, except for Val Kilmer, who had no role, Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis all came to the beach to prepare for filming the date scene between The Lone Ranger and Charlie.
"action!"
Still choosing to shoot under the sunset, Charlie’s home is a seaside house borrowed by the crew. The southern colonial-style white columns, blinds and white curtains give off an ambiguous charm everywhere.
McGillis lay on the white imperial concubine's couch, raised his hand and took a grape, put it in his mouth, bit it down, and the juice overflowed.
"cut!"
The assistant quickly put down the napkin and applied makeup to McGillis's red lips.
"It seems you also know how to photograph women sexy," McGillis said to Ronald with a smile.
"Let's continue..." Ronald ignored her. The filming schedule was tight and he had no time to flirt with her.
McGillis glanced at Ronald and lay back again.
"Action!" The camera panned across the screen window, and outside was a lone ranger wearing a flight jacket. He walked by very energetically and poked his head inside. He missed the date because he was playing volleyball.
"Captain!" Charlie put another grape in his mouth and called the Lone Ranger in.
The handsome man, the beautiful woman, the white curtains fluttering in the wind like a wedding dress, the sun slanting down, Ronald felt that the male audience might have to swallow their saliva when they see this kind of shot.
The Lone Ranger borrowed the bathroom at Charlie's house and took a shower to wash off the sweat from playing volleyball. He was wearing a white T-shirt and leaning against the white wall. The setting sun shone slantly on his face, making his sunken eye sockets and tall posture
The bridge of the nose is very sexy.
McGillis was lying on the couch beside the imperial concubine, admiring the Lone Ranger's handsome face, and then picked up a grape and ate it.
A song that his mother often listened to repeatedly after the Lone Ranger's father died in the line of duty came from the radio, which reminded him of the sad moment. The Lone Ranger's father disappeared while serving as a pilot in Vietnam, and the Navy did not give him an honor.
sacrifice quota, and there were rumors of his defection.
Therefore, it is difficult for a lone ranger to join the Navy and become a pilot.
Hearing that Charlie invited him here just to find out more information about the MiG-28, he had no interest in flirting with Charlie anymore. After apologizing, he jumped on his motorcycle and sped away under the sunset.
"cut!"
"Very good, let's hurry up and shoot the next scene, where Charlie chases the Lone Ranger."
This is another scene that happened to take place near Charlie's house on the beach, so we shot it together today.
This is the flight record of the Lone Ranger. Charlie took it out to criticize him alone in class. The Lone Ranger left in anger. Charlie stopped the Lone Ranger after class and wanted to explain to him.
The Lone Ranger didn't listen to her explanation, and kept turning the throttle of the motorcycle to show that he couldn't hear it, and then sped away. Charlie drove his red Ferrari sports car to chase the Lone Ranger.
"Pay attention, Tom, this car is very fast. Don't use too much accelerator. Just keep the speed you started at just a little faster." Ronald warned Cruise again and again.
People who are new to motorcycle driving often think that they can do anything for a while, and they are most likely to have problems.
"Don't worry", Tom was very confident in himself.
"action!"
The Kawasaki Ninja 900 roared, and Tom Cruise felt so good that he forgot his advice and stepped on the accelerator of the motorcycle.
"Ugh..." The motorcycle drove quickly towards the temporarily closed road. There were many cars on it that were temporarily hired as extras to make way for the Kawasaki.
There was an uphill road next to Charlie's house on the beach. Tom Cruise accelerated his motorcycle and after passing the top of the uphill, he took off into the air...
"shxt!" Ronald was shocked. Didn't he tell him not to accelerator?
He rushed to the road before he could stop in time. The motorcycle flew into the air, flew across the intersection, and landed heavily on the opposite road, moving forward.
The camera is still faithfully capturing the figure of the motorcycle...
Ronald looked around and saw that only his Ferrari was still there. He jumped on the Ferrari, started the car and chased after him.
Two blocks away, Ronald spotted Tom Cruise.
His motorcycle stopped at the end of the road. He sat on the motorcycle, put one foot on the ground and held the brake tightly with his hand.
"Tom, are you okay?" Ronald went up and hugged him, and checked him up and down. It seemed that there were no missing arms or legs.
"I'm fine, why am I here?" Cruise seemed to have lost his memory. He had no memory of the motorcycle stunt he just jumped into the air.
"Damn, you almost scared me to death."
"Tom, Tom..." Paula Wagner's car was catching up behind her. She jumped out of the car quickly. She was so frightened that she almost peed her pants.
"It's okay, I'm okay...how is my shot?"
When Tom Cruise came to his senses, his first reaction was to ask the camera.
"Damn it, are you still thinking about the camera? But your speeding was very good, I hope the photographer captured it."
"I will definitely do it. I'll watch the samples tomorrow." Tom returned to normal. He didn't want to ride a motorcycle for a while. He jumped into Ronald's Ferrari and the two returned to the starting point.
"It's all filmed," Kimball came up and whispered to Ronald.
"Okay, let's jump to the scene with Charlie and the Lone Ranger." Ronald felt that the crew were all crazy. For such a scary thing, everyone was still concerned about the camera.
Since you are all crazy, then continue to take advantage of this emotion and shoot scenes where the hero and heroine are in love.
"action!"
The camera focused on McGillis, who played Charlie, driving a Ferrari, running a red light at the intersection where Cruise had just vacated, bypassing two cars, and catching up with the Lone Ranger who stopped in front.
"Christ Jesus, I thought I was the reckless one." The Lone Ranger got off the motorcycle, came to Charlie's sports car, and yelled at the top of his lungs. Just now, Charlie almost had a car accident when he ran a red light. The Lone Ranger was worried about her.
He didn't know how much of it was due to the frightened reaction just now. Ronald thought to himself, the intensity of this emotion was pretty good.
"I haven't finished what I said just now, Captain." McGillis was aroused by Cruise's emotions. She was also full of helplessness towards her childish boyfriend. She got out of the car and closed the sports car door heavily.
The force was so strong that the car door made a loud bang, which was heard by everyone present, and it also shook Ronald's Ferrari GTO from side to side.
"Hiss," Ronald grinned in distress. He didn't dare to say anything, which interfered with this wonderful shot. The chemistry between the two was so good that it looked like a real couple quarreling.
"My evaluation of your flying is right, Lone Ranger!" McGillis told the camera in one breath, "But I can't say it in the classroom. I'm afraid. If I tell you what I really think about your flying, what will happen there?"
People will see through my feelings for you."
"is that so?"
Tom Cruise was stunned, he seemed to have forgotten his words.
The shock just now has obviously not passed yet, and Cruise's mood is still agitated, even though he performed a chemical reaction with McGillis...
Ronald curled his lips, it was such a good shot, what a pity.
"That's right!" McGillis was also anxious. He was in really good shape this time.
Tom Cruise was very upset. He actually forgot his words at the critical moment. Seeing the pity in McGillis's eyes, he had an idea.
"Um……"
He took a deep breath.
McGillis knew acting very well and knew that this was improvisation. At this time, a kiss meant a thousand words and was better than any lines, so she kissed him too.
"cut!"
Ronald stopped after the two of them kissed until it was dark.
Tom looked at Ronald, a little embarrassed that he had forgotten the words.
McGillis also stopped and smiled at Ronald. This improvisation was much better than the original line.
With red lips and blond hair, paired with the Ferrari next to him, Ronald swallowed secretly, "Tom is getting a lot cheaper."
"Very good, this print", he let out a sigh of relief.
…
After packing up today's shooting tasks, Kimball directed the photography assistant to unload today's film and put it into a steel safe. Ronald came over and locked it himself. The film runner picked up the film and got in the car. He would stay overnight
Send it to Paramount's lab, and you'll be able to see the success of this demo tomorrow.
Everyone returned to the cinema, and the film runners came back with yesterday's samples.
Val Kilmer was already waiting for them at the scene. Yesterday's scene was the best since he joined the crew.
The projectionist closed the door and waited, then started to show a sample film of beach volleyball.
The muscles of the leading actors above were shining. The female staff members that Ronald specially invited to watch were very happy and applauded to celebrate. This was not only to see their reactions, but also to the hard-working makeup artists, costume designers, and hairstylists.
A small perk.
Several supporting actors talked about how beautiful their muscles and bodies were, and came to congratulate Ronald.
Only Val Kilmer had a sullen face, "Where are my close-ups? Why are there none?"
Ronald also thought about this problem and went back to see the director of photography Kimball.
"The lab called and said that part of Kilmer's film was overexposed and nothing could be seen clearly. It was all white."
"My part, is it overexposed?" Val Kilmer squeezed out these words through his teeth one word at a time.
"Yes, I'm sorry, but this kind of unlucky thing happens sometimes, and sometimes mistakes happen in the workshop."
“Everyone’s close-ups are there, but mine is overexposed?”
"Kilmer, no one wants this to happen. Your mid-shot and spike shots are still there, and they are just as good." Ronald went up to persuade him.
"Fart! Can my close-up be the same?" Val Kilmer angrily threw the baseball cap he was wearing to the ground.
"I want to reshoot it!"
"This is impossible. Our shooting schedule is very tight and we have no chance to reshoot. Besides, we have to rent the beach again for the reshoot and choose the same sunshine conditions as the original film. This is almost impossible."
"Humph!" Val Kilmer walked out. It was not such a coincidence. Tom Cruise must be causing trouble, and maybe the director was also working with them.
"This matter will not be settled like this. I will contact Mr. Frank Mancuso of Paramount." Val Kilmer's manager dropped the harsh words and went after his client.
"I've also encountered printing accidents. Let's leave it at that. There are other scenes to be shot tomorrow. Let's go find the assistant director and get the notice." Ronald said to the remaining supporting actors who were looking at each other.
He looked back at Kimball, and the DP shrugged.
Then he looked at Tom Cruise, his handsome face looking innocent.
Finally he saw his agent Paula Wagner.
Ronald motioned her over, "I attended your wedding, Paula. Niceta and I are very good friends and partners."
Ronald pulled her into a corner, "I don't want to see this happen to the crew again, okay?"
"Print development accidents often happen, and confrontations between male protagonists..." Paula began to defend.
"Didn't you understand what I said?" Ronald's eyes suddenly shone, scaring Paula Wagner's heart. Ronald rarely showed his angry side.
"I said, I don't want to see this kind of thing happen to the crew again!"
