Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 482
Ralph Mazio's hands were covered in blood, and the doctor came and stopped the bleeding quickly.

"Hush..." The spectators sitting in the seats who came to watch the real match, together with the extra performers who came here, uttered loud boos.

They were so unhappy with Chad McQueen's Dutchman, it was tantamount to bleeding the lead character, Daniel.

"It seems to have a sense of substitution?" Ronald was refreshed, and unexpectedly found that the audience had a lot of empathy for the role of Daniel.

This is great news. Since it can infect live audiences, it must also infect movie audiences.

Ralph Mazio was dealt with and returned to the field, sending off Chad McQueen's "Dutchman" with a kick to the head.

Another wave of cheers came from the auditorium.

"Cut!" The sound engineer gave Ronald a thumbs up. Such a cooperative audience is not common in movie shooting.

In the end, Daniel, Dario Vidal, defending champion Johnny Lawrence, and Bobby, who also belongs to the Cobra Gym, entered the semifinals.

"Ah...it's there" Daniel frowned.

Miyagi picked up the plaster and stuck it on Daniel's ribs. When he was playing against the "Dutchman" just now, this place was hit continuously and needed to be fixed with adhesive plaster.

"I didn't expect to be able to enter the semi-finals." Daniel tried to move his arms, and his ribs felt less painful.

"I didn't expect that either." Master Miyagi said honestly.

"It would be great if I could win the championship in the end."

"It's good that you can survive." Miyagi began to decompress Daniel.

First up was Johnny Lawrence vs. Vidal.Ronald deliberately let Vidal appear on the field with his real name. If this movie can become popular, he will be known by others, and it can be regarded as helping his friend realize his wish to open a martial arts gym.

The fight was moved to center ring, where Pat Johnson called it on.

Vidal kicked some good-looking whirlwind kicks very coolly, but Johnny easily dodged them.

The audience began to applaud Vidal again. On the one hand, his movements are elegant and elegant, making the audience feel that his movements are better than William Zebka who played Johnny.

On the other hand, Johnny, who also belongs to the Cobra Gym, was also disgusted by the audience.Most of the audience doesn't know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy in this scene, but William Zerbuka's very aggressive posture makes the audience naturally dislike him.

After several whirlwind kicks, Vidal failed to score. After he retreated, he used another beautiful flying kick, but Johnny saw the flaw in this move and countered it with one kick.

Vidal used old tricks and couldn't avoid the counterattack. He was kicked in the face by Johnny and fell to the ground, losing the qualification to advance to the final.

"Hush..." Now the audience thought that Johnny was playing tricks, sneak attacking, and not talking about martial arts, and the boos from the audience became even louder.

The two actors are still very friendly. In fact, with Vidal's ability, it is impossible for Zebuka to touch him.It was he who took the initiative to let go of the defense and touched the opponent's feet with his face.

"Score, Johnny Lawrence, win." The referee announced that Johnny entered the final.

"Hush..." There was another burst of boos, "It's not fair, Vidal should win."

"Oh, that's not the case. My son is a good man. He is making a movie. He is a good boy in life. He will never play tricks like this."

The mother of William Zebuka, who played Johnny, also came to the scene and watched her son's performance from the stands.Being loudly criticized by the audience around her made her feel very uncomfortable, so she quickly stood up and explained to her surroundings.

"Cut!"

Ronald stopped filming, and he was not in a hurry to explain. Most of the audience would still realize that this was a movie, but he was overjoyed by the natural emotions of the audience.

The camera was aimed at the side of the Cobra Dojo, and the owner Chris looked at Master Miyagi and his disciple Daniel.

"Next, Daniel LaRusso from Miyagi Dojo against Bobby from Cobra Dojo."

Pat Johnson, who played the referee, sported a mustache and a hairy arm that peeked out from under his T-shirt.Such a referee, at first glance, gives people a sense of trust, because all the players in the competition can't beat him.

"Let's see who will enter the final and challenge the previous champion Johnny Lawrence." The host shouted.

The audience started cheering for Daniel.This made Chris, the owner of the Cobra Dojo, very dissatisfied.He ordered Bobby, who was about to play, "I don't want him to play."

"But master, I can beat him." Lang Thomas, who plays Bobby, is also a member of the second-generation star gang. He has a dissatisfied face and complains directly to master Chris, as if he was acting in his true colors.

"I don't want you to beat him, I don't want him to compete." Chris said the order word by word with a gloomy face.

He couldn't stand a short clown like Miyagi, a trained disciple who defeated his own disciple, in case Daniel defeated Johnny in the final...

"But if I do this, I will be disqualified." Bobby replied.He understood what Chris meant to hurt Daniel and give up the final.

"Keep him out of the competition" Chris emphasized, staring at the opponent closely.

"Okay," Bobby was startled. He felt that if he didn't do it, Chris would break his leg in turn.

"Get ready, start!" The referee gave an order, and the two sides put on a ready posture.

Bobby waited for a few seconds, and under the urging of Chris' gaze, he suddenly stepped forward, jumped into the air, and kicked Daniel's thigh with a scissors kick.

This move was beyond everyone's expectations.The championship is not a duel of life and death, and the position below the waist cannot be scored, so the contestants will not allocate energy to defend the tricks that attack the lower plate.

Daniel responded to the end, and began to groan in pain.

Master Miyagi, Ali, and Lucille, who came to watch his son's game, all ran to the ring quickly.

"Ah, my leg hurts so much, Master Miyagi." Daniel rolled on the ground holding his leg in pain.

"Don't be afraid, Daniel-san, the master is here." Miyagi held Daniel's head and let him lean on his body gently.The two fake fathers and fake sons already have a real father-son relationship at this moment.

"Bobby from the Cobra Dojo was disqualified for deliberately hitting Daniel from the Miyagi Dojo. According to the rules of the competition No.40, paragraph 15. Daniel LaRusso has [-] minutes to decide whether to continue to participate in the final .If he doesn't play, the other finalist, Johnny Lawrence, will automatically defend his title."

This kind of despicable and shameless trick outside the market not only caused boos from the audience again, but also made several disciples of Chris, Johnny, Tommy, and others, start to look at him with distrust.

For the first time, they began to wonder if the philosophy of winning by whatever means was right for them was taught by Chris.

Several referees came over and sent Daniel to the bed in the locker room. The doctor checked Daniel's injury and gently rolled down his trouser legs, "I'll go and tell the referee, you've done well today."

Daniel's injuries were so severe that he could barely stand.He was lying on the bed in the locker room, one arm covering his crying eyes.

He only participated in the tournament at first because he wanted to avoid being beaten.But after studying karate with Master Miyagi for more than four months, he defeated all the opponents along the way and reached the final... When the championship was within reach, he was not reconciled.

Mother Lucille cut Daniel's hair, "Honey, don't think about it too much, you did a great job today, I've never been so proud of you."

"If they hadn't cheated, you would have won and entered the final." Ali also defended Daniel from the side.

"I want to be quiet," Daniel said, crying.

"We'll be waiting for you outside." Mother Lucille and Ali walked out.

"Miyagi-sensei", Daniel stopped the master when Miyagi walked past him.

"Do you think I have a chance of winning the final?"

"Win or lose, it doesn't matter." Miyagi said, Daniel's original intention has been achieved, and the boys of the Cobra Gym will not provoke him in the future.

"That's not what I want to ask." Daniel looked at Miyagi.

"Hey! There is a good chance, you will win the final." Miyagi has watched Daniel's every step of the promotion match. His style of play is unique. Johnny will not adapt to it for the first time. Daniel is very likely to succeed. win the championship.

"Can you cure me like last time?" Daniel pleaded.The last time I was injured in the wall-painting pose, I could hardly move my arm. Master Miyagi's acupoints helped me regain my mobility.

"There's no need to fight, you've already proven yourself."

"What have I proved? Every time they see me, they think they have defeated me. I will never have a chance to reconcile with them, and I will never be able to hold my head up in front of Ali." Daniel sighed, "I also Impossible to reconcile with myself."

Miyagi did not expect Daniel to say such a thing, young people in America, the competition is extremely fierce, the winner takes all, and the loser has nothing, not even the last bit of self-esteem.

"Hi! Close your eyes." Miyagi asked Daniel to close his eyes.

Miyagi rubbed his hands to warm them up, and tapped the acupuncture points on Daniel's thigh.

"Ah..." Daniel cried out in pain.

"Cut!"

Ralph Mazio's manager rushed up and handed him a dry towel to wipe off the sweat from the make-up artist.

"The last big scene, huh?" Weintraub walked over, and the one and a half months of filming was about to end. At this moment, it really felt a bit dreamy.

"There are two more, one in the final and one in the parking lot."

Ronald was so serious about helming a Hollywood mid-production for the first time that, at the end of the movie, he added a fake ending.

This is what he learned from screenwriting guru Billy Wilder.Wilder often likes to arrange a false ending at the end, and after the audience's emotions reach a climax, then set a real ending to give the audience's emotions a final aftertaste.

Daniel finally won the final and won the championship.Johnny and his classmates can't stand Chris's low-handedness anymore, and have a falling out with him in the parking lot.

Chris came to beat Johnny, Miyagi used to accuse him of disobeying the principles of the master and not beating students.

Chris provoked Miyagi in turn, and Miyagi knocked him to the ground twice. All the students in the Cobra Dojo despised Chris and walked away one by one.

Ronald's intention is that this victory is not only the victory of Daniel, nor the victory of Master Miyagi's cultivation of disciples, but also includes the comparison of the two martial arts philosophies.In the end Miyagi Wushu's philosophy of self-defense triumphed.

Shooting continues.

When the host was about to announce that Johnny was defending his title, Ali ran out and told him about Daniel's comeback.

After acupuncture treatment, Daniel can already walk on the ground, although his left foot is still a little limp.

Johnny rushed to attack when he came up. He attacked with all his strength, punched and kicked, trying to decide the outcome.

Daniel took advantage of this impatience, dodged, dodged his punch with a balance ability far superior to Johnny, and landed a backhand punch on Johnny's chest.

"One to zero!" The referee announced that Daniel scored.

"You're dead!" Johnny became even more annoyed, rushing forward to end the fight.He was still one point behind in the final with a "disabled person", which made him very embarrassed.

"Shhhh..." The audience was overwhelmed by the provocative emotions, regardless of the plot of the movie, they began to boo Johnny played by actor William Zebka.

"Don't be like this, my son is a good guy, he's just playing a bad guy." William Zebuka's mother in the stands almost collapsed.

"Yeah...!" The surrounding audience suddenly boiled, and they stood up to cheer for Daniel, who scored another point.

It turned out that Daniel was riding Johnny aggressively, and fell to the ground on his own initiative, using the trick that Master Miyagi used to himself when he was chattering about learning from boxing champion Ali.

Takes Johnny down with a scissor kick, then slaps him on the back.

"Two to zero!" The referee judged Daniel to score again.

Johnny threw himself to the ground, just now when Daniel slapped him on the back, his nose came into intimate contact with the ground, and he also bled.

Ronald saw the accident and was about to stop it.

I saw Pat Johnson, who played the referee, said to Johnny, "Go to your master and let him stop the bleeding for you."

"Cut!"

Ronald was delighted with Pat Johnson's impromptu performance.

"Good job, Pat."

"This is what often happens in karate competitions. How about it, am I doing well? Let me be the leading role next time?"

"Hahaha..." The two laughed.

William Zerbuka, with his nose blown, made the audience laugh again, and continued booing him.His mom was a little bit overwhelmed in the stands.

"Hello, Mrs. Zebuka, the director asked me to pick you up behind the camera to watch the filming." Susan Akins picked up his mother from the stands.

This was Ronald's idea. He didn't want a mother crying in the background of the audience cheering for Daniel.

Shooting continues.

The coach Chris, played by Martin Cove, broke Johnny's nose with both hands, and with one force, the nose recovered.

"Sweep your legs!" Kefu choked out a few words ruthlessly, "Do you have any questions?"

"No, master." The camera behind his shoulder was aimed at a close-up of Johnny's face played by William Zebka.The DP watched Zebka with a look of horror on his face.

"Take no prisoners!" Coach Chris shouted.

"Cut!"

"Very good!" Ronald praised loudly.

Of course he knew that this expression was definitely not the ability of the fledgling William Zebuka, but he was inspired by the performance of his opponent Martin Cove.

Simply put, Martin Kove made him into the scene, and he seemed genuinely frightened by Kove's cold words, which is why his expression was so realistic.

"How did you do that?" Cove's performance exceeded Ronald's expectations.

"Actually, I'm an actor, not a fighter." Martin Cove replied with a smile.

"Hahaha", Ronald admired his professionalism.In fact, this kind of high-level acting skills is not Ronald's strong point.

It turned out that during the previous rehearsals, every time Kov gave the command to sweep the legs, he just talked casually.

And in the actual filming just now, for the first time, he showed this very ruthless humanity, who would rather destroy his opponents than guarantee the honor of his dojo.

William Zebka had never seen such callous orders from a grown man.His anticipation for Cove's performance just now was just a low-intensity rehearsal.The sudden increase in intensity made him raise his reaction to several levels.

Of course, this technique is only useful when shooting the first shot, otherwise the other party will encounter Kove's performance and lose the authenticity of the reaction.

Fortunately, this shot was a success.

After Johnny came on the court, he just kicked Daniel. This action did not deliberately hit hard, so there was no foul, but he couldn't score.But he landed a second kick in Daniel's stomach and scored a point.

The audience loudly reprimanded Johnny for cheating, ignoring martial arts, and sneak attacking.

"Daniel, be strong!" Ali encouraged her boyfriend below. She hoped that Daniel could defeat her ex-boyfriend Johnny.

Johnny continued to attack after the game resumed. Daniel's leg injury worsened. He obviously had difficulty moving and lost his best balance and dodge.

Johnny continued to attack Daniel's injured leg, without stopping.

He kicked Daniel in the leg again, and Johnny punched him in the chest as Daniel struggled to keep his balance.

Two to two draws.

Then it's time for one move to win. Whoever scores first will win the championship.

Johnny continued to attack Daniel's injured leg.The spectators had all stood up to watch the game, and their shouts almost shook the lights on the ceiling.

Unwilling to fail, Daniel took the initiative to attack Johnny.

Johnny was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, and Ali cheered the cripple again, and the audience scolded him for being shameless, but he was most angry with himself.Even with this skinny monkey, he had to attack the opponent's injured leg without fair play to deserve a tie.

His face was deformed with jealousy, he is the defending champion, the proud son of heaven, why everyone is applauding for each other.

Daniel stepped up, repeated the same trick, tripped Johnny, and then punched, trying to score with one blow.

Johnny immediately kicked his legs to resolve it, and then chased and hit Daniel.

Daniel saw that the punches were not effective, and his strong desire to win made him lift his injured left leg regardless of the pain, and kicked sideways to end the fight.

Johnny catches the injured leg and an elbow hit right where Daniel's semi-final injury used to be.

"Ah..." Daniel let out a scream.

"Put him in a body bag," is one of Cobra's cadets, where Tommy, played by Rob Garrison, cackles.

"Are you sure you're OK? Can you continue?" the referee played by Pat Johnson came up and asked Daniel.

Daniel nodded, his left leg could no longer touch the ground, so he could only put his weight on his right leg, and tap his left toe gently on the ground.

"Cut!"

"Who taught you to speak?" Ronald asked Garrison, who also belonged to the second generation of stars.

"Director, didn't Chris often say that he would not keep prisoners? I saw this sentence in Vietnam War movies." Rob Garrison replied with a playful smile.

"That's right, let me add a close-up for you." Ronald felt that at this time, a gag clown was needed to dilute the atmosphere of the decisive battle.

"Oh yeah? I'm good at improvising, right?" Garrison said happily.

"Of course, this line may accompany you for a lifetime."

Shooting continues.

Daniel raised his hands up, imitating the trick that Miyagi-sensei practiced at the beach, the crane kick.Now his legs could no longer move, so he could only use tricks.

Ronald arranges a close-up of Ralph Mazio, who shakes his head slightly at the camera, as if asking Mr. Miyagi for advice.

"Cut!"

Then the camera turned to Morita Noriyuki, which was also a close-up.

Miyagi nodded slightly at the camera, agreeing with Daniel's idea.

Can't move, it can only be taken by surprise.

"Cut!"

The DP then gave Daniel a full-body close-up.

This gesture is a crane kick, with both hands raised on both sides of the shoulders, the opponent's attention will definitely be attracted by this weird posture.

Daniel's eyes, glanced down, and his injured left leg moved slightly.

"Cut!"

The DP turns to a close-up of Johnny.

Johnny Lawrence was first insulted by the gesture of raising his arms high. Daniel, with the door wide open, despised himself for not being able to punch?
He slid forward suddenly, closing the distance.

It happened that Daniel's eyes turned to his left foot.

"It turned out to be a trick, and you still want to lie to me at this level?"

Johnny suppressed his anger, put his hands in a defensive posture, and moved to the next block.

After all, legs are always longer than hands, and before Johnny's fist hits Daniel's chest, his legs can kick him.Although I can't play much with my injured leg, the game is based on scoring. If the opponent kicks me, I get one point.

"Cut!"

After the reaction shots of the two were shot, it was time to shoot the crane kick of the flying fairy at the end of the shot.

After discussing with the director of photography, Ronald put the camera in a low position.This is to imitate the framing method of Japanese traditional movies. The camera is below the waist of the person, just like the sight of Japanese people kneeling on the floor, which will make the two contestants very tall.

The camera uses a panoramic lens, leaving a certain distance between the two, so that Johnny's attack and Daniel's counterattack can be explained in one shot.

Everyone returned to their original positions again, Ronald nodded to the director of photography.

"Action!"

Johnny rushed forward to punch his opponent, but Daniel gave him a look and made a gesture to counterattack with his left leg.

Johnny took a defensive posture, put his fists down from his eyes, and protected his waist.

Daniel made half of the fake action and suddenly recovered,
Johnny froze for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, Daniel lowered his hands vigorously, and the white karate suit vibrated like a crane flapping its wings.

Daniel's right foot, which was supporting his leg, suddenly moved unreasonably.

I saw Daniel jumping with his right foot, and then kicked it high with his right foot...

Hit Johnny on the head.

The two actors have rehearsed countless times for this showdown.Daniel's foot touched Johnny's face lightly.Johnny swung his head back forcefully, as if hit head-on by this trick, and lay down on the ground.

Daniel fell back to the ground with his right foot, and he staggered to keep his balance.

"Daniel, score!" The referee pointed his hand heavily at Daniel.

"Ahh..." Ali rushed up from under the ring, tightly hugging the hero who defeated her ex-boyfriend, Daniel.

The audience went crazy when they saw this stunt like a crane spreading its wings.Several of Daniel's neighbors also rushed down from the audience, onto the ring, and lifted Daniel high.

"Miyagi-sensei, Miyagi-sensei, we did it! We did it!"

Johnny Lawrence over there was convinced of the defeat. He didn't expect Daniel to have this trick.He no longer obeyed the orders of Coach Chris, but took the initiative to pick up the trophy in the past and sent it to Daniel.

"You deserve it, boy."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." the sound engineer was very satisfied with the sound effect.

Ronald looked around, all the shots were realized according to his own ideas, everyone's emotions reached their peak, even Master Miyagi, who was always calm, nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

Another camera is filming him.

"Cut!"

"It's like the scene in the parking lot, we don't need to shoot." Weintraub walked up and saw everyone cheering, adrenaline burst, and he also had an urge to go up and shout.

"Yeah, there's no need to shoot." Ronald nodded, this is the last shot.

Ronald felt that the philosophical discussion in the parking lot was unnecessary.All the plot ends in this moment, all the emotions reach their climax here, and the audience is satisfied.

When you arrive at the movie theater, the audience should stand up, drink up the Coke, put the last bit of popcorn in their mouths, and then go back happily and call their friends. I saw a wonderful movie today.

My thoughts about the false ending and the real ending are emotionally out of touch.Such a big climax, the weak aftertaste of discussing martial arts philosophy is unbearable.It seems that Billy Wilder was able to shoot this kind of double ending because he deliberately left a trace of clues and emotions at the end.Ronald's direct imitation was less successful this time.

The director of photography gave two thumbs up, and all six cameras captured the desired images.

Ronald withdrew his thoughts, nodded, and raised the horn, "I announce that the filming of 'Longwei Boy' is packed!"
