Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Tom's beer is really good. It's rare that he specially shipped it from Los Angeles. There is also barbecue made on site. Everyone also got a bag of small cakes. Now the morale of my boys has been greatly improved."

Kimball, the director of photography, came to the set the next day and loudly praised Cruise's generosity to Ronald.

Unlike Val Kilmer who only invited the actors to drink beer together, Tom Cruise made more thoughtful arrangements. He brought delicious food from Los Angeles, booked the bar at the base, entertained all the crew members who were willing to come, and also invited all the staff at the base to a banquet. Pilots are open.

"You didn't drink too much, did you?" Ronald glanced at the camera crew.

"No, Tom rationed it."

Ronald nodded with satisfaction, Paula Wagner always did things flawlessly.

On the sand next to the beach, a beach volleyball court was roped off.

Under the dazzling sunshine in the afternoon, Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, and Anthony Edwards and Rick Rossovich, who played the two radar officers, were all shirtless and wearing dog tags. Wearing breathable three-point tight trousers, she came on the court barefoot.

"Oil them," Ronald pointed to the four actors who came on stage. Several makeup artists took olive oil and spread it on their naked bodies. The skin under the sun, with the blessing of olive oil, is like an ancient Greek statue, showing the charm of the human body.

This time Cruise and Val Kilmer were on opposite sides of the net, and they were not afraid of hitting the same half of the face again.

"a!"

All four actors can play volleyball and have very good physical fitness. They have been exercising their muscles all year round. Playing beach volleyball at the height of the women's competition net is not a problem at all. Even the shortest Tom Cruise can spike a ball.

Ronald left them to their own devices and asked Kimball, the director of photography, to turn on the camera and capture all these shots, and then choose the good ones.

The competition between the two sides was very strong. After all, Fang Kilmer was tall enough and dunked several good balls in a row, which made the partners of Tom and Anthony lose their temper.

"Yeah!" Rick Rosovich, who played Iceman's radar officer Slider, was happy and posed for the camera to show off his muscles.

"Did you get that shot?" Ronald asked Kimball as the photographer stopped to change the film.

"It's all captured." Kimball indicated that he had captured the bodybuilder's movements just now.

The photography assistant over there has quickly packed a new roll of film in a black bag.

Ronald nodded, "Let's continue."

"Yeah!" Tom finally took off and hit a dunk, high-fiving Anthony Edwards in celebration.

"cut!"

Ronald stopped, and Kimball nodded to him, indicating that the capture was good.

That's how it is in filmmaking. If the director wants to make the person more powerful, he should keep more of his scenes. Although Val Kilmer killed Tom Cruise on the scene with almost no power to fight back, as long as this killing shot is retained and some of Val Kilmer's shots are cut out, the Mavericks can still compete on par with Iceman. opponent.

Val Kilmer was happy and he did a lot of really good things for the camera today. There are various flexing muscles, posing, and close-up shots of his muscular upper body and the power of smashing the ball. The happiest part was that there were a lot of close-up shots of the handsome face, more than Cruise.

Satisfied, he had a better attitude toward the director, "Director, how was my performance today?"

Ronald gave him a thumbs up.

Under the setting sun, a few strong men played beach volleyball. Ronald felt that the male sex quota in this movie had almost been filled, and the rest would include some shots of sexy beauties.

"We'll call it a day and shoot the scene where the Lone Ranger goes on a date at Charlie's house tomorrow." The assistant director got Ronald's permission and started issuing announcements for tomorrow.

"I'm treating you all to a Japanese dinner today." Val Kilmer seems to be on a par with Tom Cruise, and the level of the two of them treating guests to dinner is also rising.

Sure enough, both men avoided attending each other's parties.

Ronald saw Tom Cruise, with Paula, packing his things and whispering to director of photography Kimball.

It seems that everyone wants to keep more masculine shots.

Ronald grinned. He didn't object to this kind of thing. As long as it didn't go too far, it would promote the atmosphere of the performance.

On the second day, except for Val Kilmer, who had no role, Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis all came to the beach to prepare for filming the date scene between The Lone Ranger and Charlie.

"a!"

I still chose to shoot under the sunset. Charlie’s home is a seaside house borrowed by the crew. The southern colonial-style white columns, blinds and white curtains exude an ambiguous charm everywhere.

McGillis lay on the white imperial concubine's couch, raised his hand to take a grape, put it in his mouth, bit it down, and the juice overflowed.

"cut!"

The assistant hurriedly put down the napkin and applied makeup to McGillis's red lips.

"It seems you also know how to photograph women sexy," McGillis said to Ronald with a smile.

"Let's continue..." Ronald ignored her. The filming schedule was tight and he had no time to flirt with her.

McGillis glanced at Ronald and lay back again.

"A!" The camera panned across the screen window, and outside was a lone ranger wearing a flight jacket. He walked by very energetically and poked his head inside. He missed the date because he was playing volleyball.

"Captain!" Charlie put another grape in his mouth and called the Lone Ranger in.

Handsome man, beautiful woman, white curtains fluttering in the wind like a wedding dress, sunlight slanting down, Ronald felt that male audiences might have to swallow their saliva to see this kind of scene.

The Lone Ranger borrowed Charlie's bathroom and took a shower to wash off the sweat from playing volleyball. He leaned against the white wall in a white T-shirt. The setting sun slanted on his face, making his deep eye sockets and high nose bridge look very sexy.

McGillis lay on the chaise longue on the side, admiring the handsome face of the Lone Ranger, and picked up another grape and ate it.

The radio played the song that the Lone Ranger's mother often listened to after his father died in the line of duty when he was a child, which reminded him of the sad moments. The Lone Ranger's father disappeared while serving as a pilot in Vietnam. The Navy did not give him an honorary sacrifice quota, and there were rumors that he defected.

So it was difficult for the Lone Ranger to join the Navy as a pilot.

Hearing that Charlie invited him here just to find out more about the MiG-28, he was not interested in flirting with Charlie anymore. After apologizing, he jumped on the motorcycle and sped away in the sunset.

"Cut!"

"Very good, let's hurry up and shoot the next scene, the shot of Charlie chasing the Lone Ranger."

This is another scene, which happened to take place near Charlie's house on the beach, so we shot it together today.

This is the flight record of the Lone Ranger. Charlie singled him out for criticism in class, and the Lone Ranger left in anger. Charlie stopped the Lone Ranger after class and wanted to explain to him.

The Lone Ranger didn't listen to her explanation, kept turning the throttle of the motorcycle, indicating that he couldn't hear, and then sped away. Charlie drove his red Ferrari sports car to chase the Lone Ranger.

"Be careful, Tom, this car is very fast, don't use too much throttle, just keep the speed you started at a little faster." Ronald repeatedly reminded Cruise.

People who are new to motorcycle driving often think they can do everything for a while, and they are most likely to have problems.

"Don't worry," Tom is very confident in himself.

"A!"

The Kawasaki Ninja 900 whistled, and Tom Cruise felt good. He forgot the advice and stepped on the accelerator of the motorcycle.

"Woo..." The motorcycle quickly drove to the temporarily closed road. There were many cars on it that were temporary extras, making way for Kawasaki.

Next to Charlie's house on the beach, there was an uphill road. Tom Cruise accelerated on his motorcycle, and after passing the top of the uphill, he took off into the air...

"Shxt!" Ronald was shocked. Didn't he tell him not to step on the accelerator?

He didn't have time to call a halt, and rushed to the road. The motorcycle took off into the air, flew across the intersection, and fell heavily on the opposite road, moving forward.

The camera was still faithfully capturing the figure of the motorcycle...

Ronald looked around and saw that only his Ferrari was still there. He jumped on the Ferrari, started the car and chased after it.

Two blocks away, Ronald found Tom Cruise.

His motorcycle stopped at the end of the road. He sat on the motorcycle, one foot on the ground, and his hand tightly grasped the brake.

"Tom, are you okay?" Ronald went up to hug him and checked him up and down. It seemed that he had no missing limbs.

"I'm fine. How did I get here?" Cruise seemed to have lost his memory. He had no memory of the motorcycle stunt that just took off into the air.

"Damn, you almost scared me to death."

"Tom, Tom..." The car that caught up with him was Paula Wagner's car. She jumped out of the car quickly. She was also scared and almost peed her pants.

"It's okay, I'm fine... How about my lens?"

Tom Cruise came back to his senses, and his first reaction was to ask about the lens.

"Fuck you, you're still thinking about the lens? But your flying car was very good. I hope the photographer captured it."

"I will, I will come to see the sample tomorrow." Tom returned to normal. He didn't want to ride a motorcycle for a while. He jumped on Ronald's Ferrari and the two returned to the starting point.

"It's all taken," Kimball came up and whispered to Ronald.

"Okay, let's jump to the scene of Charlie and the Lone Ranger next." Ronald thought that the crew were all crazy. Such a scary thing, everyone was still concerned about the camera.

Since you are all crazy, let's continue to use this emotion to shoot the scene of the hero and heroine falling in love.

"Ah!"

The camera was aimed at McGillis. Charlie, played by her, drove a Ferrari and ran a red light at the intersection where Cruise just vacated. He bypassed two cars and caught up with the Lone Ranger who stopped in front.

"Christ Jesus, I thought I was the reckless one." The Lone Ranger got off the motorcycle and came to Charlie's sports car, shouting at the top of his lungs. Charlie almost had a car accident when he ran a red light just now. The Lone Ranger was worried about her.

I don't know how much of it was because of the reaction of being frightened just now. Ronald thought to himself that the intensity of this emotion was very good.

"I haven't finished speaking just now, Captain," McGillis was aroused by Cruise's emotions. She was also full of helplessness towards her childish boyfriend. She got off the car and slammed the door of the sports car.

The force was so great that the car door made a loud bang that was heard by everyone at the scene, and it also shook Ronald's Ferrari GTO from side to side.

"Hiss", Ronald grimaced in pain. He didn't dare to make a sound to interfere with this wonderful shot. The chemistry between the two was so good that it looked like a real couple quarreling.

"My evaluation of your flying is right, Lone Ranger!" McGillis said to the camera in one breath, "But I can't say it in the classroom. I'm afraid that if I say what I really think about your flying, the people there will see through my feelings for you."

"Is that so?"

Tom Cruise was stunned. He seemed to have forgotten the words.

The shock just now was obviously not over yet. Cruise's mood was still in a state of excitement. Although he performed a chemical reaction with McGillis...

Ronald pouted. Such a good shot, what a pity.

"That's it!" McGillis was also anxious. This time he was in a really good state.

Tom Cruise was very upset. He actually forgot the words at the critical moment. Looking at the regret in McGillis' eyes, he had an idea.

"Hmm..."

He kissed her.

McGillis knew acting well and knew that this was an improvisation. At this time, a kiss represented a thousand words and was better than any lines, so she kissed him too.

"Cut!"

Ronald stopped kissing after they were so drunk.

Tom looked at Ronald, a little embarrassed that he had forgotten his lines.

McGillis also stopped and smiled at Ronald. This improvisation was much better than the original lines.

Red lips and blonde hair, coupled with the Ferrari next to him, Ronald secretly swallowed his saliva, "Tom got a bargain."

"Very good, this print," he breathed a sigh of relief.

...

After finishing today's shooting tasks, Kimball instructed the photography assistant to unload today's film and put it in a steel safe. Ronald came over to lock it himself, and the runner picked up the film and got in the car. He would deliver it to Paramount's printing plant overnight, and the success of this sample would be seen tomorrow.

Everyone returned to the cinema, and the runner came back with yesterday's sample.

Val Kilmer was already waiting for them on the scene. Yesterday's shots were the best since he joined the crew.

The projectionist turned off the lights and began to show the sample film of beach volleyball.

The muscles of the leading actors were shining. The female staff members who Ronald specially invited to watch were very happy and applauded. This was not only to see their reactions, but also a small benefit for the hard-working makeup artists, costume designers, and hairstylists.

Several supporting actors talked about their muscles and bodies and came to congratulate Ronald.

Only Val Kilmer had a gloomy face, "Where are my close-ups? Why are there none?"

Ronald also thought of this problem and turned back to look at the director of photography, Kimball.

"The laboratory called and said that Kilmer's part of the film was overexposed. Nothing can be seen clearly, all white."

"My part, overexposed?" Val Kilmer squeezed out this sentence from his teeth word by word.

"Yes, I'm sorry, but this kind of bad luck happens sometimes, and sometimes mistakes will occur in the workshop."

"Everyone's close-up is there, only mine is overexposed?"

"Kilmer, no one wants this to happen, your medium shot and dunking shot are still there, they are still good." Ronald went up to persuade.

"Bullshit! Can my close-up be the same?" Val Kilmer angrily threw the baseball cap he was wearing to the ground.

"I want to reshoot!"

"This is impossible. Our shooting schedule is very tight and there is no chance to reshoot. Besides, reshooting requires renting the beach again and choosing the same sunlight conditions as the original film, which is almost impossible."

"Humph!" Val Kilmer walked out. There was no such coincidence. It must be Tom Cruise who was making trouble. Maybe the director was in cahoots with them.

"This matter will not be let go. I will find Mr. Frank Mancuso of Paramount." Val Kilmer's manager said harshly and went after his client.

"I've also encountered printing accidents. That's it. There are other scenes to shoot tomorrow. Let's go find the assistant director to get the notice." Ronald said to the remaining

He turned his head to look at Kimball, and the director of photography shrugged at him.

Then he looked at Tom Cruise, his handsome face innocent.

Finally he saw his agent Paula Wagner.

Ronald motioned her to come over, "I attended your wedding, Paula. Niceta and I are good friends and partners."

Ronald pulled her to a corner, "I don't want to see this happen again on the crew, ok?"

"Printing accidents happen frequently, and the confrontation between the male protagonists..." Paula began to defend herself.

"Didn't you understand what I said?" Ronald's eyes suddenly shone, scaring Paula Wagner's heart. Ronald rarely showed his angry side.

"I said, I don't want to see this happen again on the crew!"

"As you wish..."
