Chapter 480 All Valley Tournament
In Cal State Northbridge's gymnasium, Ronald inspects the set for the exterior.A tall portable advertising stand was propped open, and on it was a billboard for the "All Fernando Valley Karate Championships" specially made by the prop master.

"Not bad, very good, your arrangement is very good. In this way, a real karate tournament can be held, and even the contestants and more than half of the audience can perform for free." Ronald was praised by his former boss, Roger. Coleman.

Ronald specially invited this old friend to play a guest role as a staff member at the sign-in desk.

Roger Coleman, wearing glasses and a T-shirt with the words of the championship, sat politely behind the registration desk, like an uncle next door, volunteering for the children of the championship.

"This is an investment of 800 million yuan. It will take a lot of time to light up the stadium. Roger, I know you are very dissatisfied with this set. You think movies should not pursue extremes, but this is all about studios and investment. Don't be in a hurry to correct people's demands."

Ronald knew that Coleman had appeared on TV a few weeks ago. During the interview, he criticized the big studios for spending tens of millions to make some bad movies, and in America, there are still many children who can’t get enough to eat. Unable to receive education.

Weintraub was a bit worried when he learned that Ronald was looking for Roger Coleman to comeo.

"Of course, I understand. Your money is spent on shooting, and we can see it on the screen in the end." Coleman is not a pedantic person. He looked at Weintraub and quickly stated that he was just here to be a Ensemble.

"This is Mr. Morita Noriyuki, he will play Master Yoda in my movie, and then he will use an excuse to correct your pronunciation..."

"Gong Cen Guild Hall, Daniel LaRusso, what belt?" Roger Coleman found Daniel's name on the registration form and checked it slowly.

"What's the matter?" Master Miyagi asked.

"This is a free registration tournament. In order to avoid too large a gap in level, only players above the tea belt can participate."

"Black belt, lad is a black belt".Miyagi said.

"Black Belt, Daniel LaRusso. You'd better hurry up and start right away. Go inside and turn right." Roger Coleman lowered his head and ticked off the registration form.

Daniel ran in quickly, Ali kissed him, and also took a step, but when he passed Master Miyagi, he grabbed him.

Ali stopped inexplicably.Miyagi said to the staff played by Roger Coleman, "Hello, sir, this is Miyagi, not Gongzen", and then he reached into the package opened by the staff, and quietly took the A black belt, and handed it back to Ali.

Ali smiled, hid the black belt in the sweater, and ran into the hall.

"Cut!" Ronald stopped the filming at the sign-in area, and several people packed up and walked into the gymnasium.

"Wow..." As soon as I entered the gymnasium, I felt a heat wave.Nearly 1000 spectators filled the venue.

Half of them were extras brought in by Weintraub, and the other half were relatives and friends of the competitors who had come to participate in the actual "All Valley Karate Championship."

The director of photography James Crabbe came up, "I arranged a total of six cameras in the auditorium." Then he pointed out the location of the hidden cameras to Ronald.

In the middle of the gymnasium is a hexagonal table with the trophy from the previous "All Valley Championship".Last year's champion was Daniel's rival Johnny, so under the trophy is the logo of the defending champion dojo - "Cobra Dojo".

Under the hexagonal table, there is a karate competition field facing each other.Many contestants have already started warming up on it.

Ronald took the microphone from the assistant director, "Hello, my name is Ronald Lee, the director of this 'Dragon Boy' movie. We will shoot some shots during your competition. During the filming When you are playing, you don’t have to worry about us, just play your own game.”

After saying this, Ronald handed the microphone to Pat Johnson, the karate master who had trained the actors.In this final battle, he played the guest referee of the final.

Johnson took it up and said it again, and the theme was, "Don't stop and watch what we're filming. You're going to win prizes, you're going to win trophies, it's a real karate competition, and you can say you're the Karate Kid." "

"Let them warm up first, and you take some shots here to enhance the atmosphere." Ronald preached to the director of photography, Clark.

Then he turned his head and took Pat Johnson, Ralph Marzio and Elizabeth Sue into the dressing room next to him.

In the dressing room, the lighting engineer had already come to set up the lighting. Ronald checked it and asked Daniel to go up and prepare for the shooting.

"Where are the boys?" Ronald didn't see the trio of the second generation of stars. In the plot, they would be here to provoke Daniel who was about to play.

"Chad?" cried Pat Johnson, their trainer, at the top of his lungs.

"Here, master!" Chad McQueen and the other two second-generation stars appeared at the door of the locker room with red eyes and stiff necks.They seemed to have sucked something powerful, and they were a little inexplicably excited.

Ronald didn't explode, he moved a few actors, and then let the camera start rolling.

"Action!"

Daniel was wearing a white Dao suit. He didn't know how to fasten the laces and buttons of the oriental clothes, and he was studying by himself.

"Look who's here, our little friend, Danielle...hahaha. What's the matter? Didn't mommy dress you up? Hahaha." Chad McQueen plays "Holland" People (Dutch)" trainees.He came over and gave Daniel a hard push.

Daniel was pushed by him and almost fell down. After regaining his balance, he immediately made the gesture of Miyagi, with his left hand raised up and his right hand tucked at his waist.

"Dutchman" went up and put on an offensive posture, his eyes wide open, as if he had endless energy to vent.

"Hey, I have the strength to play later in the game." Pat Johnson, who was playing the referee, came over and separated the two of them.

The "Dutchman" gave the referee a sideways look and walked up to Daniel.Those powerful ingredients made him no longer afraid of trainer Pat Johnson who made their muscles sore every day during training.

He stared into Daniel's eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "You boy, listen up. I don't care about scoring or not, anyway, you are dead today"

The referee came over and let him go, "I said, go out."

The "Dutchman" was so angry that he ignored the referee and pushed Daniel again.

"Huh?" Ronald knew that Chad McQueen didn't follow the script, but played it himself.Fortunately, Ralph Mazio did not stop, and continued to play with him.

"You're already dead. Danielle! Ah..." Suddenly Chad McQueen lost control and rushed to punch Danielle's actor, Ralph Mazio.

"Hey, hey..." Ronald knew that Ralph Mazio's thin body couldn't stop the opponent's heavy punch, so he rushed forward to block Chad McQueen regardless of calling for a stop.

"Ah..." Ronald grabbed McQueen by the collar.Then he stumbled, let him lie down, and finally rode up, locking his neck with his backhand.

Chad McQueen's face was flushed from being suppressed, as if he was trying to break free with great strength.Pat Johnson rushed forward and helped Ronald pin him down.

"Where's the doctor? Check him out." Ronald got out and waved for the doctor who was going to treat the possible sprain in the fighting scene to come over and check the second-generation star first.

"Wait, does he have anything else to do?" Ronald asked the assistant director.

"There's only one scene where the crowd applauds."

"Cancel, let Ron Thomas go." Ronald pointed to another second-generation star next to him.

Fortunately, the shot just now was really good. Chad McQueen, who was so excited, threatened Daniel very realistically.

Shooting continues.

Daniel was a little frightened by the threat. He didn't know his karate strength, because Master Miyagi never let him compete with others.

"Action!"

Outside the locker room, Ali was waiting anxiously, holding the black belt that came with her.She didn't know what was going on in the locker room. The delay was so long, and Daniel was going to check in soon.

The camera slowly zooms away from her beautiful chest, and standing next to her is Master Miyagi in a suit and leather shoes.

"Hurry up, Daniel-san, you're about to play."

Ali ran over to help him tie the black belt, and then tied it in front of his waist.

"Where did you get the black belt?" Daniel knew that he hadn't been graded, so he shouldn't wear a black belt representing a master.

"Given by the Buddha in the temple."

Master Miyagi urged the two of them to go to the third venue to check in.

"Wait a minute, a player can only be on the sidelines with one teacher, and the others must be in the auditorium." A staff member came over and stopped Ali.

"He doesn't speak English. If I don't have an interpreter, I can't 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.

"Um, he said you look like his uncle in Tokyo."

"Huh?" The staff member smiled, "I don't think it's a problem for you to enter as an interpreter.

"..." Miyagi said a few more words.

"What?"

"Well, he said you were very kind, thank you."

The three continued to walk in, and Daniel asked Miyagi, "What are the rules of this tournament?"

"do not know."

"Ah? How come you don't know?" Daniel was shocked, "I'm finished, I'm finished today."

"How do I know, it's your first time, and it's my first time too."

"No, didn't you fight many karate fights with people in Ryukyu?"

"That's life and death, it's scoring." Master Miyagi didn't care.

Ali couldn't stand it anymore, "Hitting above the waist, whether it's a hand or a foot, scores. You can attack the head, chest, abdomen, waist, and back, understand?"

"I hope I understand." Daniel was a little scared. He had never been in a ring.

"Come on, you can definitely get it." Ali squeezed Daniel's shoulder to make him relax.

"Cut! Very good, let's take another shot at another camera."
