"Patrick, you must sit in the back and remember to wear your seat belt."
Two weeks passed quickly, and the scene at Mountain Lake Villa was completed. Ronald began to confirm all the transition sequences.
The troops and the crew were driven away in a large bus rented by the crew, and the equipment was taken away by a truck that the crew always had. Some individuals came by car, and Ronald also allowed them to drive by themselves to the location at Grove Park in Asheville, Western North Carolina.
.
For these actors who drive by themselves, Ronald will personally advise them on safety issues.
"Don't let Pat leave the car and work harder." Ronald asked the staff member who gave Sweets a ride.
Finally, Ronald got on the bus by himself, walked to the last row, lay down on the chair and fell asleep.
"Ah...huh..."
"We're here, Ronald, we're here."
Screenwriter Eleanor came over and shook Ronald who was overtired and snoring.
"Ah, are we here already?"
Grove Park in North Carolina was originally a Boy Scout base. There are still many cabins that have not been demolished, which are used as residences for backup dancers. The set team has repaired the houses in the early stage and painted them with white paint.
Then make it old.
"This place and the Mountain Lake Villa in Virginia originally belonged to the Borscht Belt, a Jewish holiday zone in Eastern Europe and Russia." David Chapman, the exterior designer, was very reliable and introduced Ronald to the various places.
Condition.
"That's Lake Lure over there. You can shoot scenes in the lake." Chapman pointed to a lake in the distance and said to Ronald.
"We'll go over later and take a look at the scenery." Ronald, who was very concerned about the location, told Chapman.
Chapman has agreed to sign a contract with Daydream Pictures after filming this film, and continue to serve as location designer for his next film "Moonlight".
Ronald picked up his luggage and checked into the hotel first. This was a Lake Lure spa hotel not far from the park. In autumn, the price was off-season, so the entire hotel was fully booked.
Ronald chose a single room, put his luggage away, and gave a twenty-dollar tip to the waiter.
"Thank you, sir, are you here to shoot adult movies? We have had a crew here before. We will find your movies in the video store, right?" The waiter put away the money and asked Rona with a smile.
Germany.
"What? Adult movie?"
Ronald was surprised that he was rumored to be filming an adult movie.
"Isn't your name dirty? I thought... I'm sorry, sir." The waiter realized that he had misunderstood and apologized quickly.
"What's going on? Emil, come to my room."
Ronald asked his assistants to ask, and found that many people here did misunderstand Dirty Dang as an adult movie. There were private rumors that they wanted to shoot scenes of hot springs, holiday cabins, and the natural wilderness by the lake.
"North Carolina is like this. The people are more conservative, but the more conservative they are, the more curious they are about similar works of art."
David Chapman, who came over to see the scene with Ronald, explained it to him.
"If you want to change other people's opinions and don't want them to watch, you might as well get a fake movie name and change all the name tags on the crew."
"I don't have the time or money to make brand names again." Ronald was so angry that he took a movie name tag and stuck it on his lap.
The sign was cut off in the middle, and Ronald dropped the half that said "dirty" on the ground. "Let me know, in North Carolina, our movies are collectively called 'dang.'"
After seeing the scenery, Ronald was very satisfied with David Chapman's work. The railings here were all decorated in the white style of the Virginia Mountain Lake Resort Hotel.
On both sides of the road leading to the cabin where the backup dancers live, there are half-person-high white street lamp poles, which Chapman imitated based on the street lamps at the Mountain Lake Villa.
At least in the lens, I can't see much difference between the two places.
"a!"
That afternoon, Ronald started work.
"Oh, it's so cold here."
Unlike Virginia, which is as hot as summer, the weather in North Carolina is already like late autumn.
Jennifer Gray, who played the baby, was wearing a shirt, jeans, rolled up trouser legs, and a pair of white flat shoes. A gust of wind blew and she shivered.
She started practicing dancing to the rhythm of Mambo on a wooden bridge with white railings that continued on the walkway down the mountain.
Jennifer Gray has not received dance training like other actors. Her dancing level is almost that of a beginner, so she acted in her true self in this scene.
"Ahh..."
Gray didn't dance well, and the cold wind blew, which made her anxious. She kicked her feet against the white wooden railing.
"Cut! Very good. Let's do another one." Ronald thought to himself that he wanted to perform like this. After the baby raised enough money for Penny's surgery, he offered to take Penny's place and go to another hotel with Johnny.
Perform Mambo.
In order to dance that dirty dance with the one she loves, the baby is willing to do anything.
Ronald asked his assistant to bring a wool blanket for Gray to put on.
The frustration caused by practicing difficult dance moves is very real, and it is also the effect Ronald wants to achieve by not letting Gray practice dancing.
Gray went to the trailer, changed into a pink tank top and denim shorts, and came out to continue filming.
"a!"
Gray practiced his dance moves and climbed up the stone steps on the mountain road step by step.
"cut!"
Ronald quickly asked Gray to go to the trailer to rest.
This temperature is not even 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius), and the cold wind makes my whole body shiver.
"Patrick?"
Ronald called Sweets, who was going to be photographed below, to come over.
"Hmph..." Jennifer Gray slapped the back of her head again.
"Oh, shxt!"
Ronald threw the baseball cap with the word "dirty" printed on it, with the "dirty" removed by a piece of tape specially designed to stick textiles, to the ground.
"I have to solve this problem right away."
Ronald called Patrick Schwitz and Jennifer Gray into a room, locked the door, and asked Emil to guard the door and not allow anyone to approach.
This kind of matter must be resolved privately.
"Truth time, what's going on with you two?"
"I don't have a problem, Jennifer seems to be a little bit unable to stand real life." Sweets also got angry, because Jennifer does not have a clear distinction between work and life.
"What did you say to me during the audition? You said you wanted to have a romantic love story with me." Gray also got angry.
"I..." Sweets didn't expect Gray to take what he said at that time seriously. It was just the atmosphere.
Ronald was also annoyed by two undergrown boys and girls. How is this different from the jealousy between high school football players and cheerleaders?
"Can you give me an accurate answer, can I act?" Ronald thought about revising the script. Changing the roles now is definitely out of the question. If the two of them are at odds like this, they will have to reduce their roles and give Cynthia more.
Screen time.
Tone down the main love story between Johnny and the baby, and add more plots about Cynthia’s feminism, pregnancy, and making her own decisions.
"I can definitely do it. I can get back to the audition state." Sweets was anxious. The director must have had a bad intention when he said this. He finally got a role where he was the absolute protagonist, and he liked this kind of thing.
I feel that I can also promote my own songs incidentally.
"I...I..." Jennifer Gray felt a little aggrieved and her eyes turned red.
It's not that I don't want to act well, it's that Sweets went back on his word... and lied to himself. Moreover, during the filming, I also found out that my father was... and I didn't know whether I should be angry or funny at the moment.
These men are all liars.
"Okay." Ronald saw that he had made the heroine cry, and he didn't feel very good either.
He turned around and opened his luggage. After searching inside for a long time, he finally found a video tape.
"This is the tape of your audition. I have kept it. How good was your chemistry at that time? It is not easy to have such an opportunity to act in such a good script. I believe that after it is released, young audiences in America will remember it.
Keep your dancing posture.
Don’t let them down, okay?”
Ronald inserted the videotape into the video recorder in the room. After a burst of snowflakes, footage of Gray and Sweets' tacit understanding during the audition appeared.
Almost as soon as he saw their chemistry, Ronald took a liking to them and gave up Sarah Jessica Parker's replacement.
Gray held her cheek in her hands and still ignored Sweets. She looked at the TV and saw how intimate she and Sweets were in it. Although this person likes to talk big words and make inappropriate jokes, sometimes he is not enough for the performance.
Seriously, but he is so handsome.
Sweets also secretly glanced at Gray. Although this girl was average-looking, she was still very attractive when she was in love, and her figure was also top-notch.
Ronald observed the two of them carefully and saw their hands getting closer and closer, and finally holding them together. He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly opened the door and went out.
"Damn, I feel like..." Ronald lit a cigarette and smoked in the corner with the assistant director Emil and screenwriter Eleanor, waiting for the male and female protagonists to regain their feelings for each other.
a feeling of.
Finally, after more than half an hour, after watching their audition videos repeatedly, Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray walked out of the room hand in hand again.
"Jennifer and I have talked about it, and there is no problem with the next scene opposite each other," Sweets said to Ronald.
Jennifer Gray was still a little shy, and she took her hand out of Sweets's hand in front of everyone
"Well..." Gray's cheeks were still a little red, but he just nodded without saying anything.
"You guys go to bed early, tomorrow morning will be your show."
After the two protagonists left, Eleanor and Emil came up to congratulate Ronald.
"Stop talking, I'm exhausted. You should rest early."
Ronald closed the door, turned off all the lights, and lay on the bed alone.
In order to make this movie a success, I have used all kinds of tricks.
