Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 382

Kelly Maroney plays Samantha, the younger sister of the two leading ladies.She appeared in front of Ronald in a magenta and turquoise cheerleading outfit.

"Kylie, this is a great outfit. Later we're going to shoot you and your sister Regina meeting at home. You just woke up from a sleep and you don't know what's going on outside, and Regina is from the movie theater. Back, her boyfriend was attacked by zombies and died, so she was in a state of shock.

I want a pair of sisters with opposite mental states.One has accepted the cruel fact that there are many zombies attacking human beings in the last days, and the other thinks that the world is normal and is worried about the next day's date. "

"All Right." Kelly immediately nodded and agreed.She was very grateful for the opportunity Ronald gave her this time.

Kelly Maroney also played a cheerleader in Ronald's previous film, Fast-paced Richmond High.Wearing a similar cheerleading skirt, doing a sexy dance on the football field.

The actress, who debuted with the Shakespeare Company in New York, has had regular roles on daytime soap operas. . "Fast Pace" was her first film attempt, and she never received a film contract after that.Soap operas were cut in half at the end of [-]. If it hadn't been for Ronalda, it would have been out of play.

"Recording? Camera? Action!"

An hour later, with the lights and actors ready, Ronald gave the order and the cameras started rolling.

Catherine Mary Stuart's Regina breaks through the zombies to get home, and she opens the door.The red light outside the door shone in, and a strange dark red atmosphere enveloped her home after the death of the comet.

"Samantha? Doris?" Regina began to test whether there were any survivors in the family.

She walked into the room step by step, "Samantha?"

"what……"

"what……"

Samantha, played by Kelly Maroney, screamed with Regina.

"Cut!"

Ronald is very satisfied with the performances of the two actresses. Both of them seem to have improved their acting skills compared to before. After a few shots, Ronald is satisfied with the first one. One kind of performance is called the second one.

"Director, do you want the second one?" Kelly Maroney asked Ronald after taking a sip from the glass offered by the assistant.

"Well, when you were surprised, I hope there is a difference. Regina already knew the danger of zombies, so she called Samantha with concern and fear.

And Samantha still doesn't know anything about the outside situation. She is a teenage girl, and she has an impatient attitude when answering her sister. "

"No problem, let me prepare. Fortunately, I can come to the second one for filming."

Kelly Maroney and Catherine Mary Stuart both breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the couch to chat about the scene.

Ronald looked at the actors playing the two sisters, and the costumes had a caricature feel to them.The elder sister Regina's is a silver top, which looks more rational and intelligent.The younger sister, Samantha, is brighter in turquoise and magenta, implying that she is the more "brainless" of the sisters.

"Why, when you filmed daytime soap operas, didn't there be a second one?" Ronald asked casually.

"No, if something goes wrong on set, we have to keep going. It's an hour-long daytime soap opera every day, and if you don't pick up the dialogue and you get stuck, we're going to get fired. I couldn't be more comfortable making a movie with you." Kelly Maroney stretched her legs on the sofa and glanced at Ronald.

"Daytime soap operas are very particular about improvisation. Sometimes characters forget their words, or some unexpected situations have to be covered by improvisation, otherwise the pressure will be too great." Catherine Mary Stuart also said.

"Actually, this movie of mine is a small production. If any of you forget the words, you can improvise. This saves film and time, and I don't have to do it again." Ronald glanced at the two beauties, especially Kelly Maroni's long legs told them something.

"Number two, recording? Camera? Action!"

"Samantha?" Regina began to search for her sister.

"Here... ah!"

"what!"

Samantha opened her bedroom, and the two suddenly saw each other and screamed in fright.

"Come on, you've given me a heart attack."

"Cut!"

Ronald felt that this one felt better, and quickly asked the field reporter to write down this one.

Two actresses who have played daytime soap operas are actually very suitable for this small low-budget production.There is not much performance in acting, but it also meets the requirements of general scene dramas.Best of all, it's quick to shoot.

"The next shot." Ronald ordered the camera crew to shift the camera position, and the lighting began to set up.

In this scene, after Samantha was scared by her sister, she nonchalantly talked about what happened last night. She was slapped by her stepmother Doris, her teeth were a little loose, and she was sleeping in the bedroom.Today she is going on a date with her boyfriend.

"Action!"

"Yesterday she slapped me. I went to bed late. I have to go to see my boyfriend." Samantha complained to her sister, then picked up the loudspeaker recorder on the table and started playing her favorite music.

She took a loudspeaker recorder, walked out of the bedroom in a rhythmic dance, brushed past Regina, and found that her silver blouse was covered in dirt, "Oh, you look so bad."

The camera shot from behind Samantha, with a low camera.Under the cheerleading short skirt are two healthy and strong long legs, pink socks and pink canvas shoes.

Kelly Maroney, who played Samantha, turned around, her leg muscles tensed up, full of the beauty of a young girl.The rhythmic legs stepped out of the camera to the left.

"Cut! Very good." Ronald also leaned behind the camera and looked over. This shot must be liked by teenage audiences.

After filming the sisters, the camera crew moved to Samantha's bedroom to start filming the scene where stepmother Doris slaps stepdaughter Samantha just before the comet came the night before.

Sharon Farrell, who played the stepmother Doris, painted the same makeup as yesterday, with red nail polish and a velvet collar around her neck.A malevolent image of a wealthy neighborhood stepmother.

Kelly Maroney switched into a tight yellow yoga outfit with red leg warmers from Ronald's.

"A total of three," Ronald said to the two actresses.

"It started with Doris hearing Samantha's words and slapping Samantha's face with her right hand. Then Samantha slapped back with her left hand, and finally Doris followed Samantha's mouth with a right slap. fist."

Ronald then runs behind the camera, with Kelly Maroney on the left and Sharon Farrell on the right.The hands of the two slapping each other are at the far end of the camera.

"Action!"

"What party? I can look at my neighbor Chuck across the way and put his hand in your underwear?" Samantha questioned her stepmother to the camera.

The shot is an over-the-shoulder shot, shot from behind the shoulder of Sharon Farrell, who plays the stepmother.

"Chuck is a good man, and there's nothing wrong with him helping me when your father goes to a tropical island country," replied the stepmother.

"Doris, you're so slutty by nature, you don't need Chuck to seduce you."

"Slap!" Sharon Farrell slapped her across the face.

"Cut!"

The slap was done using the traditional Hollywood shooting method. The moment the hand was close to the opponent's face, the opponent began to dodge.

When editing later, cut to the frame before the other person's face starts to move.This kind of montage allows the audience to add in the plot of the slap on the face, although they did not see the slap on the face.

Ronald was behind the camera, seeing everything.Sharon Farrell's slap was good, but Kelly Maroney ducked before the other's hand was close to her face.This is also a normal reaction of actors who have never filmed this kind of scene.

"Let's rehearse, Sharon's hand is here, and you start to hide." Ronald asked the two actors to try the timing of the fake action.

After they tried it twice in slow motion and felt it was okay, Ronald started the second shot.

"Doris, you're so slutty by nature, you don't need Chuck to seduce you."

"Slap!" Sharon Farrell slapped her face again.

"Cut! You hid too early." Ronald poked his head out from behind the camera, "Kelly, you have to slow down."

"Doris, you're so slutty by nature, you don't need Chuck to seduce you."

"Slap!" Sharon Farrell's slap had already slapped the opponent's face this time, and Kelly Maroney hadn't avoided it yet.

"Cut! Take a 10-minute break."

Several shots failed to capture the perfect fake action, and Ronald was a little anxious.It is generally best not to take more than three takes, after which the actors start to lose their natural emotional responses.

This scene is not only a slap in the face, but also a conversation between the stepmother and the stepmother, which brings out the affair between the stepmother and the man opposite Chuck. There is an emotional reaction of the stepdaughter catching rape and the stepmother becoming angry from shame that needs to be taken into account.

"Kelly, you still need to get used to the rhythm of this slap. We'll start later. You take a break and relax." Ronald whispered to the actor Kelly Maroney, fearing that she would give birth to something inappropriate. emotions, making the situation worse.

Kelly Maroney smiled as she saw that Ronald was clearly agitated, yet he was careful to please herself.This director is really good. I didn't throw myself in his arms, but I was able to get the role.And it's very sexy to give yourself a seat.

Although the production is a bit small, such a director who respects actresses and gives himself a chance to show himself is not common in Hollywood.Don't ruin his business by yourself. "

"Director, why don't you really fight?" Kelly Maroney said sincerely.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'm grateful you didn't yell at me, on a daytime soap I'd have been fired by the producers long ago.

This slap is the only scene where I am facing the camera. I am afraid that if I fake it, I will not be able to act a real reaction.Then just move on. "

"Sharon?" Ronald looked back at Sharon Farrell, who was playing the opposite role.

"Director, sometimes movies are meant to be slapped for real. Don't worry, I've dated Bruce Lee before, I've learned boxing, and I know how to slap a slap that looks hard, but actually closes in."

"Okay", Ronald didn't expect the actor to trust himself so much, so he used real fights to shoot this scene.

"Action!"

"Doris, you're so slutty by nature, you don't need Chuck to seduce you."

"Smack!" Sharon Farrell slapped her face, pulling back slightly as she approached Kelly Maroney.

This time, after Kelly Maroney was slapped in the face, she naturally shook to the left.

"what!"

"Cut!"

"Ice cubes," Ronald called.

The assistant took an ice pack and put a cold compress on Kelly Maroney's face.

"How?" Kelly Maroney looked at the director of photography for the first time, wanting to know the result of the shooting.

Director of Photography Arthur Albert nodded.

Ronald declared it approved.

"Oh." Kelly Maroney opened her mouth. Even though she pulled back, it still hurts.

"If it's OK, let's move on to the next one. Samantha fights back against stepmother Doris."

This time the camera stood next to the two of them, and the slap was blocked by Sharon's face, so there was no need for a real slap.

After Samantha stood up straight, she raised her right hand and slapped Sharon Farrell.

"Ah!" Sharon Farrell shook her head before the slap hit her face.As expected of a woman who has dated before, the strength and speed of this swing of the head are not bad.
