Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Helen went to the set the next day. She wanted to see how Ronald directed.

Unlike the director of "Secret of Success", Herbert Ross, Ronald relatively respects the actors. If the actors have any ideas, they can bring them up and discuss them before filming.

It is very majestic to direct a team of more than 100 people on the set, but Ronald is also very busy. He has to go to the scene early every morning to solve problems with the director of photography on the spot.

In the evening, I also have to watch the samples from the previous two days and solve various trivial problems. From the position of the camera to the actors' conflicts, even the clothes the actors wear and the makeup they put on, he has to nod in the end.

"Girls, come to our hair show, there will be professional hairstylists to guide you."

Today's scene was shot on the beach by the lake. It was very early in the morning, and Ronald was here waiting for the right light. After running in and resting, the crew is now driving very smoothly like an automatic car.

"We also have Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe style wigs here. You can come and try them on and look in the mirror to see which one suits you."

Ronald sat on the swing arm, and the camera looking down from a high altitude gradually came down, and gradually turned to a close-up view of the grooming class on the beach.

"If you give me a bigger tip, I can buy an Alfa Romeo."

The waiter boyfriend of the dancer Penny came here and started hooking up with the baby's sister Lisa.

"Alfa, that's my favorite car." Lisa, wearing an Elizabeth Taylor-style wig, teased the waiter's chin with her fingers.

"You can help me cover up later in the evening. I want to go out." Lisa said to the baby. She wanted to go out to have a tryst with the waiter at night. "Oh, damn, I have a pimple on my face."

"I told you to use Keliying anti-acne cream." The baby took out a tube of anti-acne cream and handed it to her sister. "Where are you going tonight?"

"Golf course, the first hole has a nice view."

"cut!"

"You did a good job. Let's try another one. We can try a different acting method. Lisa is not stupid, she just put all her energy into competing to make herself look the most beautiful."

Ronald used to coach the acting of Jane, who plays Lisa.

"ok"

"My dear, I'm leaving." Taking advantage of the break, Helen came up to say goodbye to Ronald.

Generally speaking, people who visit the crew are not allowed to interfere with anything on the set, and they can only stand outside the circle and watch a few shots.

Ronald was so busy that Helen left early.

"I'll see you off." Ronald felt that he didn't spend enough time with Helen.

"You are really good at guiding actors. When I was filming 'The Secret of Success,' director Herbert Ross was very rude. When he saw that I was not acting well, he would attack my acting skills."

"This old bastard", Ronald had seen the tyranny of this old director, but he didn't expect to be so rude to Helen.

"But he is a stage director and is used to treating actors as props."

"Yeah, you really wish you'd never scolded an actor."

"Because movies are one-time art, as long as there is one good thing. I won't get angry at the actors because it will slow down the process, and in the end I will lose money."

After seeing Helen off, Ronald came back to continue filming.

Dancer Penny saw her boyfriend being courteous to the wealthy girl on vacation, her expression changed, and she started to pack her things and leave.

Cynthia Rhodes' performance is very good. The expression of the woman in the underground love affair when she sees the South flirting with other women is mixed with jealousy, hatred, and grievance about her situation, which is very vivid.

"Ladies, your hair looks very nice." Johnny knew what was going on with Penny and came over to help his dance partner.

With a smile as bright as a flower, the baby quickly took off her Elizabethan black wig and combed her blond hair, trying to make a good impression on the lover of her dreams.

Johnny didn't continue, he turned and walked away.

Baby came over to chat with Penny. She was envious of Penny who was very good at dancing and could also be Johnny's dance partner. She couldn't help but want to get close to her.

"I envy you so much, you dance so well."

"I was kicked out of the house by my mother when I was sixteen. I can only dance. This is the only thing I want to do." Penny was in a bad mood and did not tell the baby about dancing as she wanted.

Unexpectedly, what Penny told was a tragic past, but the baby still didn't realize it. She felt that since she could escape from the family and be able to do what she wanted to do, wouldn't it be a great thing? And Penny dances so well.

"I envy you."

"Ha..." A painful smile appeared on Penny's lips. This young lady knew nothing about the life of the poor. If she didn't dance, how would she get the money to support herself. And we have to face these ignorant rich girls.

"cut!"

The part where Cynthia Rhodes smiles wryly and then pretends to pack her bags and turn away is really good. Penny was a backup dancer and she couldn't make any of the guests angry. The words "I envy you" hurt me deeply, and I had to pretend that nothing happened and quickly escape from this embarrassing scene.

The camera was turned around and showed a close-up of Jennifer Grey's face.

The baby's face looked confused at first, and then he was deeply puzzled that he first showed affection to Penny, only to be ridiculed. This girl who participated in Kennedy's "Peace Corps" program and wanted to change the world still didn't understand.

There are many people in the world who are not born with privileges like her, who can receive a good education and have wealthy parents.

"Cut!"

Ronald looked back at the director of photography, who nodded to indicate ok. Ronald turned back and gestured to the screenwriter Eleanor.

This script is worthy of Eleanor's work that she has been writing for several years. Many details are accurate and rich in connotation. This love story is not just about talking about love and dancing, but there is a class gap blocking the two protagonists.

Ronald likes this kind of script that is not triggered, which fully expresses various details of life but does not expose them. Only those who understand social reality better can see the faint and unfocused background story.

This is the first time that Ronald has filmed a script that is deeply based on life. The previous films tended to be more or less simplified and cartoon-like than life. You can't see Daniel winning the karate championship with a crane kick in real life, nor can you see the cool lone ranger who can fight one-on-five and shoot down three MiG-28s.

But every high school student has had the experience of secretly loving a handsome and beautiful person in school, but failed because of certain class, interest, and social gaps.

Many times, such movies that seek dramatic conflicts in ordinary life rely on the screenwriter's grasp of a large number of facts, and then write them with inspiration. And as long as the casting is correct, such dramas are very interesting to shoot.

When it gets better, there is no need for more acting guidance. It's the character's personality, and there is a good chemical reaction and interaction between the characters. How to act is right.

It seems that the god of film accidentally opened his eyes and saw Ronald when he was taking a nap, and then sent good luck, and the whole performance was in an automatic state.

Except...

The two protagonists.

Jennifer Grey finished filming her scenes with Cynthia Rhodes, and then turned her head back to show Patrick Swayze the back of his head.

This made Swayze embarrassed.

When the two of them were facing the camera for close-ups, their expressions were very good, but when they entered the camera together, they lacked the ambiguity of admiration.

"Well..." Ronald cleared his throat. Grey, who came from an acting family, started to act like a spoiled child again. He gave Cynthia Rhodes a look, asking her to find out the reason.

Cynthia gave him an OK look.

...

"What did you say to Jennifer Grey's father Joel when you sent him to the airport that day?"

Late in the evening, Ronald got a response from Cynthia. Jennifer seemed to have had some problems with her father Joel. Because she no longer trusted her father, her father's advice to her was thrown behind her mind.

In the phone call from Cynthia, Emil Adolino, the assistant director of the crew, was also mentioned. But it was not clear what exactly happened.

So Ronald called Emil to his room and asked him frankly what was going on. The scene at the mountain lake villa was about to be finished and the scene would be changed. There were long scenes of rivalry between the male and female protagonists in North Carolina. Such a chemical reaction would definitely be a mess, and Ronald's entire fortune would be wasted.

"It's nothing. Joel is one of us. I thought Jennifer already knew, so I accidentally let it slip."

"What do you mean one of you? Oh..."

Ronald understood that it was a problem of orientation, and then he reacted, "No way? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, he told me in person when I sent him off."

"This? He can't see it at all? Besides, doesn't he have a wife and a daughter?"

"Ordinary people can't see it," Emil touched his nose. This kind of tacit understanding can only be discovered by those who are in the same group. He then explained:

"In that era, we all had to be careful to hide our differences. Many people got married and had children, but this was difficult to change and would come out again when they got older. Joel divorced Jennifer's mother because of this.

"I have no experience in this kind of thing. How should I comfort Jennifer?"

"Only let her figure it out herself. Compared with her mother, children are more likely to forgive."

Ronald was completely speechless. Who could have known that this would happen.

During the filming, actors encountered things in their lives that disrupted their mood and rhythm during the performance. It was difficult to deal with them, and they had to adjust slowly.

But Ronald's crew had a tight budget, and slowly adjusting would mean that the money would be overspent again.

"I'm sorry, Ronald. It's my fault." Emil had to apologize, and the actor couldn't get back to his state because of his words.

"It can't be completely blamed on you, but you should never talk about your sexual orientation in the crew again. I don't ask, and you don't take the initiative to say it. "

Waving Emil away, Ronald fell into deep thought.

At this time, what should be done to make Grey and Swayze regain that good chemistry?

After searching his mind, Ronald thought that it would be better to let Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze shoot one or two dance scenes as soon as possible to let them have some physical contact.

Perhaps this kind of intimate feeling will change the secretion of hormones and let the two of them, who already have some knots, regain their strong affection.
