Chapter 652 The Deputy Commander's Helicopter

"This is our new heroine, Tomita Tan Ling."

"This is the new villain, Yuji Yiben."

"These two are..."

"I don't need to introduce these two, Mr. Miyagi and Daniel, hahaha, I took my granddaughter to see the first part."

Ronald accompanied George Old, the deputy commander who was temporarily staying in Hawaii, and his wife Barbara to visit the shooting site, and introduced the main creative staff by the way.

"Cheese!"

The photographer of the film crew took a group photo of the two protagonists, Ronald, Weintraub, and the deputy leader and his wife.

The Deputy Commander did not come to Hawaii on a special trip, but went to Tokyo to meet with Prime Minister Nakasone as the special envoy of the Grand Commander.

It turned out that White House Chief of Staff James Baker and Treasury Secretary Donald Reagan switched positions.James Baker, who has always advocated being tough on Japan, immediately did a big thing after taking office.

He convened the finance ministers of the five major western industrial countries to discuss the devaluation of the dollar against other currencies, such as the yen, the franc, and the mark and the British pound.

In fact, European countries have long been psychologically prepared for this agreement, and America has been blowing the wind at the G5 meeting.

The one that is really dissatisfied with the depreciation of the dollar is Dongying.As emerging industrial countries, they have always occupied a large market share in trade with the United States.If the dollar appreciates sharply against the yen, it will have a relatively large impact on Japan's economy.

Although on the other hand, the appreciation of the yen is good for people to go abroad for consumption, purchase foreign imported goods, and entrepreneurs to purchase foreign assets.But for Japanese entrepreneurs who have long dominated the American market with high-quality and cheap products, this is undoubtedly a very big change.

James Baker is more of a politician than a treasurer who needs professional competence.He was too tough on Japan, which caused a big backlash within the Japanese government.In particular, the chief official of the Ministry of Finance has a tendency to break down the negotiations.

The deputy commander's visit this time is also to ease the relationship and strengthen communication.

As one of the few deputy commanders in the history of America who has some real power.George Sr. had a great deal of autonomy.This time he stayed in Hawaii temporarily, and asked the Marine Corps for a helicopter to take them from the airport to the set.

After the visit, the deputy commander and his wife sat in the studio and drank coffee with Ronald and Weintraub.

The two couples dressed very casually. There was no news media, so they just wore ordinary clothes.Barbara just wears a light-colored dress, T-shirt and jeans, and her husband wears glasses, just like two old couples who run a farm.

"Ronnie, I heard about the 'good thing' you did at Camp David, ahahaha...."

Barbara, with all her gray hair, was rocking back and forth with a smile.

"I'm just doing Spielberg a favor." Ronald knew Barbara was talking about Back to the Future. At the Camp David screening, the first lady Nancy was embarrassed and angry when she saw the name of the Grand Commander's ex-wife mentioned. things.

"Did you see her face at that time?" Barbara felt really comfortable in her heart.This little Ronald is really interesting. Nancy is always proud of being a Hollywood actress and supporting each other with the commander in chief.This time, we will expose the scandal of the commander in chief who divorced his wife and married her, and see how she will act like a famous lady in the White House in the future.

"Barbara," old George stopped his wife, "Ronald, I don't have much time, how many times do you need the helicopter to go around?"

"Up to four laps, no...three laps." Seeing Weintraub's wink, Ronald immediately lowered the shooting requirements of the helicopter borrowed by the deputy commander.

"George, Ronnie just wants to take a few more shots. It won't delay our trip to Tokyo. Let him take good shots." Barbara looked at Ronald as if she was looking at her own nephew, and she was very fond of him.

"Our wife is the one who really calls the shots." Old George muttered.

"Hahaha...", Ronald and Weintraub hurriedly joked.

The second couple had very busy schedules. After coffee and snacks, Barbara pulled Ronald over and took two photos with herself and her husband, and they turned around to take the helicopter.

"After all, she's still a woman." Ronald looked at Barbara's back and whispered.

Although Barbara was born in a famous family, well-educated, very graceful and self-cultivated, she is the most beloved by the public among the wives of the deputy commanders.

But Barbara is a woman after all, a woman who has been bullied by the first lady all the year round, and a woman who has to swallow her anger for the sake of her husband's future.

So in front of Weintraub, especially Ronald, she completely exposed her dislike of Nancy.

"Attention all departments, we only have three chances, everyone prepares."

The helicopter that the deputy commander took was Marine Corps Two.The propellers began to speed up, and the helicopter slowly took off.

"Action!"

The two cameras of the photography team started shooting at the helicopter.

"Marine Two, great shot. I need your speed for the second lap, fly over our heads."

Ronald radioed the helicopter pilot and gave him orders.

"Marine Two received, over."

"Boom boom boom..."

The helicopter quickly flew over the heads of the film crew, and the director of photography gave Ronald a thumbs up, and the second lap was also very good.

"Marine Two, I need you to lower your altitude and circle around us at low altitude. Uh... over."

"Marine Two received, over."

On the third lap, the helicopter lowered its altitude and flew around the camera not far away.

"Ronald, tell them to slow down, the camera can't pan, it's not keeping up," DP Crabbe yelled.

"Marine Two, Marine Two, can you reduce the speed by half and make another lap."

"Mr. Deputy Commander? The secret service personnel on the helicopter, ask old George for his opinion. The promised three laps have already been flown.

"Prime Minister Nakasone is still waiting for us in Tokyo. They have already taken a lot of pictures." Old George put on his glasses and read the briefing from the Ministry of Finance.

"George, Ronnie finally borrowed the helicopter. Just let Mr. Prime Minister wait a little longer. Follow Ronald's request to make a circle."

Barbara made up for old George.

"Whatever... let them hurry up."

"Boom boom boom boom..." The helicopter made another circle at a slow speed.

"Very good, very good, all caught." Crabbe was very excited, this time the helicopter pilot's skills were very high, and several flying movements were crisp and neat, very American style.

"Okay! Thank you for your help. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Vice President, for me." Ronald said yes to the radio.

Then he raised his hands and gave a thumbs up, thanking the helicopter.

"Bye!" Barbara waved to him on the plane.

……

"Tomita, the next shot is you kissing Daniel. Daniel is a complaining American boy, but he is not so confident in his heart. Facing the very beautiful Kumiko, he has ideas but dare not act. .

So, in this scene, you are the one who understands the mentality of the two of them better.Show a little impatience at critical moments.Cue Daniel to act as soon as possible. "

"I see", Tomita Tan Ling's understanding is extraordinary, she thought about it for a while, and then she knew how to act.

"It's a pity that she has a face of Japanese descent." Ronald thought to himself, there are not many roles suitable for her in Hollywood.

In this scene, Daniel and Kumiko are in a small wooden house by the sea. Kumiko, wearing a traditional kimono, performed a tea ceremony for Daniel in a traditional way, and offered tea bowls with both hands.

This etiquette is what wives do to their husbands in Japan.

Daniel drank his tea and grew fond of Kumiko.But he didn't know what the customs in Ryukyu were, and whether young men and women made love like in America.

The camera is now behind Ralph Mazio, over his shoulder, for a close-up reaction shot of Tan Ling Tomita.

Daniel put down the teacup, and Kumiko smiled happily.This American boy is not as enthusiastic as in Hollywood movies.

Tomita Tan Ling's grasp was in place. She laughed happily at the beginning. When she saw the other party put down the tea bowl, she thought that the long-awaited kissing session was coming.

But Daniel just stared at Kumiko blankly, motionless as if in a daze.

Tomita Tan Ling turned to smile and gradually disappeared.She waited a few seconds, then began to blink rapidly.The other party was still as unresponsive as a piece of wood.

Tomita Tan Ling's expression turned to blame, and her smile was completely closed.But it doesn't look like Daniel is not interested in him, but he looks a little at a loss.

She got a little impatient with waiting, curled her lips, stretched out a hand to gently remove the hairpin on her head, swayed her body from side to side, her wonderful eyes seemed to be able to speak, "What are you waiting for? Daniel-san!"

"Cut!"

Ronald was very satisfied. Seeing that Crabbe signaled that it was okay, he immediately instructed the assistant director, "This one will be printed."

Ralph Mazio was also brought up by Tan Ling Tomita, and he looked at Ronald.

Ronald nodded to him in approval.The chemistry between the two in front of the camera is excellent.In fact, to be honest, Daniel's character is more in tune with the oriental reserved girl like Kumiko played by Tomita.He and Ali, played by Elizabeth Sue, always had some personality conflicts.

The camera was relocated to the side of the two, facing them, and captured the coconut palms and the beach outside the window.

"Are the blowers ready? Try the Lightning Machine."

After several hours of lighting and waiting, Ronald finally waited for a cloudy day under cloudy weather.

Ronald ordered immediately and seized the opportunity to shoot this turning point in the film's turn to the third act.

"Action!"

The camera is steadily facing the two lovers. They slowly get up from the kneeling position, gradually, gradually approach, and finally kiss together.

The heads of the two are slightly deflected, so as not to take a direct kissing shot.For this kind of teenage kissing scene, if you want to get a PG rating, you still need to pay attention to it.

As soon as Ronald gestures, the camera gradually begins to pull back.The faces of the two kissing each other were just covered by a hanging oil lamp.

The two kissed together, one second, two seconds.

Ronald counted the time and gave the assistant director a gesture.

The assistant director immediately tapped on the intercom.

The blower outside the door began to blow at full strength.

Several powerful blowers started blowing strongly against the coconut trees, creating a feeling of a typhoon day.

"Whoosh..."

The prop used a small fan to fan the oil lamp, and the oil lamp went out in response.

The assistant director immediately tapped the signal twice on the walkie-talkie.

"Kara..."

A burst of extremely bright light flashed, and the sky outside the window was illuminated.

"Cut!"

"Very good!" Ronald was very satisfied.

The performance rhythm of the two actors was very good. The typhoon caused by the blower felt right, and the [-]-volt lightning lamp also gave a clear signal to the two leading actors. The two actors separated suddenly as if they were frightened.

The filming is getting better and better, and Ronald has more and more feelings about the romantic love scenes of the two leading actors in the sequel.

"Is this too...too 'subtle'?"

When Weintraub was looking at the dailies, he secretly asked Ronald.Boys and girls in America have long stopped reading Jane Austen's novels. I'm afraid they won't understand such a subtle and warm feeling.

"It doesn't matter. This kind of love mode can be regarded as an exotic style. The audience will like Daniel to pick up beauties with different personalities. Anyway, the kiss scene and the hero saving the beauty at the end are still American style."
