Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Patrick, you must sit in the back and remember to wear your seat belt."

Two weeks passed quickly, and the filming of the scene at Shanhu Villa was completed. Ronald began confirming all transition sequences.

The troops and the crew were driven away in a large bus rented by the crew, and the equipment was taken away by a truck that the crew always had. Some individuals came by car, and Ronald also allowed them to drive on their own to the location at Grove Park in Asheville, Western North Carolina. .

For these actors who drive by themselves, Ronald will personally ask them about safety issues.

"Don't let Pat leave the car and work harder." Ronald told the staff member who gave Sweets a ride.

Finally, Ronald got on the bus by himself, walked to the last row, lay down on the chair and fell asleep.

"Ah...huh..."

"We're here, Ronald, we're here."

Screenwriter Eleanor came over and shook Ronald, who was overtired and snoring.

"Ah, are we here already?"

Grove Park in North Carolina was originally a Boy Scout base. There are still many cabins that have not been demolished, which are used as residences for backup dancers. The set team has repaired the houses in the early stage and painted them with white paint. Then make it old.

"This place and the Mountain Lake Villa in Virginia originally belonged to the Borscht Belt, a Jewish holiday zone in Eastern Europe and Russia." David Chapman, the exterior designer, was very reliable and introduced Ronald to the various places. Condition.

"That's Lake Lure over there. You can shoot scenes in the lake." Chapman pointed to a lake in the distance and said to Ronald.

"We'll go over later and take a look at the scenery." Ronald, who was very concerned about the location, told Chapman.

Chapman has agreed to sign a contract with Daydream Pictures after filming this film, and continue to serve as location designer for his next film "Moonlight".

Ronald picked up his luggage and went to the hotel to check in first. This is a Lake Lure spa hotel not far from the park. Autumn is also the off-season price, so the whole package is included.

Ronald chose a single room and put his luggage away. Gave a twenty dollar tip to the waiter.

"Thank you, sir, are you here to shoot adult movies? We have had crews here before. We will find your movies in the video store, right?" The waiter put away the money and asked Rona with a smile. Virtue.

"What? Adult movie?"

Ronald was surprised that it was rumored that he was filming an adult movie.

"Isn't your name dirtydang? I thought... I'm sorry, sir." The waiter realized that he had misunderstood and apologized quickly.

"What's going on? Emil, come to my room."

Ronald asked his assistants and found that many people here did misunderstand dirtydang as an adult movie. It is being rumored privately that they want to shoot shots of hot springs, holiday cabins, and the natural wilderness by the lake.

"North Carolina is like this. The people are more conservative, but the more conservative they are, the more curious they are about similar works of art."

David Chapman, who came over to see the scene with Ronald, explained it to him.

"If you want to change other people's opinions and don't want them to watch, you might as well get a fake movie name and change all the name tags on the crew."

"I don't have the time or money to make brand names again." Ronald was so angry that he took a movie name tag and stuck it on his lap.

The sign was cut off in the middle, and Ronald dropped the "dirty" half on the ground. "Please inform me that in North Carolina, our movies are collectively called 'dang.'"

After returning from the scene, Ronald was very satisfied with David Chapman's work. The railings here are all decorated in the white style of the Virginia Mountain Lake Resort Hotel.

On both sides of the road leading to the cabin where the backup dancers live, there are half-person-high white street lamp poles, which Chapman imitated based on the street lamps at the Mountain Lake Villa.

At least in the lens, you can't see much difference between the two places.

"a!"

That afternoon, Ronald started work.

"Oh, it's so cold here."

Unlike Virginia, which is as hot as summer, the weather in North Carolina is already like late autumn.

Jennifer Gray, who played the baby, was wearing a shirt and shivered when the wind blew.

She started practicing dancing to the rhythm of Mambo on a wooden bridge with white railings that continued on the walkway coming down the mountain.

Jennifer Gray has not received dance training like other actors. Her dancing level is almost a beginner, so she performed this scene as she is.

"Ahh..."

Gray didn't dance well, and the cold wind blew, which made her anxious, kicking against the white wooden railing.

"Cut! Very good. Let's do another one." Ronald thought to himself, just to perform like this. Baby raised enough money for Penny's surgery, and he offered to replace Penny and partner up with Johnny to perform Mambo in another hotel.

In order to dance that dirty dance with her sweetheart, the baby is willing to do anything.

Ronald asked his assistant to bring a wool blanket for Gray to put on.

The frustration caused by practicing difficult dance moves is very real, and it is also the effect Ronald wants to achieve by not letting Gray practice dancing.

Gray went to the trailer and put on a pink vest.

"a!"

Gray practiced his dance moves and climbed up the stone steps on the mountain road step by step.

"cut!"

Ronald quickly told Gray to go to the trailer to rest.

The temperature was less than 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius), and the cold wind made me shiver all over.

"Patrick?"

Ronald called

"Hmph..." Jennifer Gray slapped her head again.

"Oh, shxt!"

Ronald threw the baseball cap with the word "dirtydang" printed on it, and the "dirty" was removed by a piece of tape specially used to stick to textiles, to the ground.

"I have to solve this problem immediately."

Ronald called Patrick Schweitzer and Jennifer Gray into a room, locked the door, and asked Emil to guard the door and not allow anyone to approach.

This kind of thing must be solved privately.

"Truth time, what's going on between you two?"

"I have no problem, Jennifer seems to be a little bit unable to stand real life." Schweitzer also got angry. Jennifer didn't clearly distinguish between work and life.

"What did you say to me during the audition? You said you wanted to have a romantic love story with me." Gray also got angry.

"I..." Sweets didn't expect Gray to take his words seriously. It was just the right atmosphere.

Ronald was also irritated by the two immature boys and girls. What's the difference between this and the jealousy between high school football players and cheerleaders?

"Give me a definite answer. Can you act?" Ronald wanted to modify the script. Changing roles would definitely not work. If the two continued to quarrel, he had to reduce their roles and give Cynthia more screen time.

Lower the main love story of Johnny and Baby, and add more plots about Cynthia's feminism, pregnancy, and making her own decisions.

"I can definitely do it. I can return to the state of the audition." Sweets was anxious. The director must have had bad intentions when he said that. He finally had a role as the absolute protagonist. He liked this feeling and could also sell his songs.

"I... I..." Jennifer Gray felt wronged and her eyes were red.

It's not that I don't want to act well, it's Sweets who went back on his word... and deceived himself. Moreover, during the filming, I also learned that my father was a... news, and I didn't know whether to be angry or funny.

These men are all liars.

"Okay", Ronald felt bad when he saw that he made the heroine cry.

He turned around and opened the luggage, searched for a long time inside, and finally found a videotape.

"This is the videotape of your audition at that time, I have kept it. How good was your chemistry at that time? It's not easy to have such an opportunity to act in such a good script. I believe that after the release, young audiences in America will remember your dancing.

Don't let them down, ok?"

Ronald stuffed the videotape into the VCR in the room, and after a burst of snow, the tacit shots of Gray and Sweets during the audition appeared.

Almost the moment he saw their chemistry, Ronald took a fancy to them and gave up Sarah Jessica Parker's substitute.

Gray held her cheek with her hand, still ignoring Sweets. She looked at the TV, and she and Sweets were so close in the TV. Although this guy likes to brag, make inappropriate jokes, and sometimes is not serious enough when facing performance, he is really handsome.

Sweetz also secretly glanced at Gray. Although this girl looks average, she is still very attractive when she is emotional, and her figure is also first-class.

Ronald carefully observed the two of them. Seeing that their hands were getting closer and closer, and finally held together, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly opened the door to go out.

"Damn, I feel like a..." Ronald lit a cigarette and smoked in the corner with assistant director Emil and screenwriter Eleanor, waiting for the male and female protagonists in the movie to regain their feelings for each other.

Finally, after more than half an hour, after repeatedly watching the audition videos of the two, Patrick Sweetz and Jennifer Gray walked out of the room hand in hand again.

"I talked to Jennifer, and there is no problem with the next rivalry." Sweetz said to Ronald.

Jennifer Grey was still a little shy. In front of everyone, she took her hand out of Sweets's hand.

"Hmm..." Grey's cheeks were still a little red. She didn't say anything but nodded.

"You guys should go to bed early. Tomorrow morning is your scene."

The two protagonists left, and Eleanor and Emil came up to congratulate Ronald.

"Don't say anything. I'm so tired. You guys should go to bed early too."

Ronald closed the door, turned off all the lights, and lay on the bed alone.

In order to make this movie, which he invested all his money in, a success, he used all the tricks.
