Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 477 Chapter 1

The crew returned to the high school on the second day to shoot. Elizabeth Sue put on a white cashmere sweater, a pair of lavender trousers, fluffy white socks of the Eastern Ivy style on her feet, and a pair of brown loafers.

"Very nice, Elizabeth." Ronald looked at her dress, which was a preppy style popular in New England on the east coast.It's what the rich kids who are pre-college like to wear.

This kind of dress is generally difficult for girls in high school to hold up, but a girl dressed like this will definitely be regarded as a dream lover by high school boys.

"What you said is my most beautiful scene." Elizabeth Su kept her weight under control. "It's my own clothes, which I brought from Harvard."

"Very good, your poster will be hung in the locker by young audiences in the future." Ronald called the crew photographer over, and snapped a few photos of Elizabeth Su for publicity.

Ali, played by Elizabeth Sue, patted Daniel lightly, and then hid to the other side. The two were very happy to meet each other, and they agreed to go to the carnival when the time came.

The most important thing for Daniel now is to learn karate with Master Miyagi.He excitedly went to Mr. Miyagi's house.

The crew couldn't find a suitable house for this home, so they built a large house with wood on a piece of open land belonging to the city government next to the oil company's ground.

Before the shooting started, the costumer brought a headband and said to Ronald, "This is Mr. Weintraub's choice. It is a traditional Japanese headband with a pattern of cherry blossoms. I think it is very suitable for Daniel to wear."

Ronald took it and saw that it was a cherry blossom pattern composed of blue dots and dashes. He called Ralph Mazio and asked Morita Noryuki to help him tie it on his head to try the effect.

"How like a young man from Japan." Morita Noriyuki exclaimed.

"Turn around." Ronald turned Ralph Mazio around and stared at his headband.

"Is there any problem?" Ralph thought he had tied it wrong, and stretched out his hand to adjust it.

"Don't move," Ronald told Susan Eakins, who was beside him, to fetch Weintraub.

"What's the matter, Ronald?" Weintraub, who came over, looked at Ralph Mazio. "What a beautiful headband, spirited guy, it's like a newborn sun."

"You do know that Japan was defeated in World War II, right? There are still many families in America whose relatives died in the war against Japan."

Seeing Weintraub nodding, Ronald pointed to the pattern on the headband,

"Who gave you a bad idea, deliberately put the flag pattern of the old Japanese Empire Navy on it?"

"What?" Weintraub was shocked, "Isn't this a pattern of cherry blossoms?"

"It's a cherry blossom." Ronald took off the headband, spread it out, and there was a big cherry blossom on it.Then Ronald folded carefully along the top and bottom of the cherry blossoms, so that the edge of the cherry blossom pattern was folded to the back of the turban.

The remaining stamens are like a rising sun, and the petals are like the rays of the rising sun.

"If you haven't seen the military flag of Japan, you can ask someone to go to the library to look it up."

"This is indeed the pattern of the military flag of the old Japanese Empire Navy." Morita Noriyuki proved beside him that he was a child who grew up in World War II. There were many uncles in the concentration camp who joined the U.S. Army to fight. Propaganda is very familiar with this set.

"Shxt, this is a gift from the vice president of Dongying Mitsubishi Heavy Industries..." Weintraub felt great hatred in his heart, these Dongying people are really ghosts, let these defeat signs be hidden in the cherry blossom pattern that means peace, specially given to himself, and hinted that he used it in the movie.

"Do you have an alternative pattern?" Seeing Weintraub figured it out, Ronald called the costumer to discuss.

"I also have a headscarf here." Morita Noriyuki took out one from his trouser pocket. It was also of dark blue pattern, with a small cherry blossom pattern on it, so there was no problem of being mistaken at all.

"Thank you, this pattern is very good." Ronald watched him tie it up for Ralph Mazio, and looked satisfied.

"My wife did it," Morita laughed.

After the little incident passed, Daniel drove back to his home for training with Miyagi.

Miyagi asked Daniel to drive into the yard, and Daniel was very interested in the many classic cars in the 60s and [-]s parked in the yard.

Miyagi took advantage of the opportunity to tie a cherry blossom headband on him, then took out the sponge and waxing tools, and asked Daniel to start car washing and waxing.

Daniel was unwilling, "Aren't we here to train?"

"The master teaches, the apprentice practices. The master will not deliberately teach the wrong apprentice, and the apprentice cannot question the master, understand?"

"I guess so," Daniel didn't expect Master Miyagi to have a stern side.

"Ah... ah..." Miyagi was dissatisfied with Daniel again, "Don't guess. If you walk on the left side of the road, it is safe. If you walk on the right side of the road, it is also safe. But if you walk in the middle, you will be hit by a car sooner or later. It's like a grape." Miyagi gestured for the grape to be crushed.

"You know karate, it's okay. You don't know karate, Lian Jiazi won't come and beat you. You say you can but you don't know how to do it. You're like a grape, crushed by a cobra boy. Understand?"

"I see", Daniel thought, doesn't this mean that he is half a bucket of water?
"Wax On, Wax Off" Miyagi asked Daniel to use a sponge to draw circles on the car body vigorously, "Pay attention to breathing, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale..."

"Why do you want to..."

"Ah... ah..." Miyagi became dissatisfied again, "Apprentice, don't ask too many questions, practice according to what the master said."

Daniel obediently waxes all the classic cars in the yard.These are all classic cars of the 60s that Weintraub managed to get, and they have a very old shape.

After filming this, the crew brought in the old Chevrolet used by Daniel's mother Lucille all the way from the East Coast.

Lucille drove Daniel to pick up Ali and go to the carnival together.

In front of the detached villa at the foot of Beverly Hills, Ali's parents couldn't help showing a surprised expression when they saw their daughter get into the broken car, with Daniel and Lucille pushing the engine behind it.They didn't expect that their daughter Ali's date would be a pauper.

The crew then moved to the carnival, where there are golf, foosball, go-karts, carousel and other toys.Ronald took a lot of shots of Daniel and Ali having fun.

"Cut!" Ronald stopped the shooting, and the assistant director came up to remind him that it was time for dinner.

"Take an hour's rest, let's continue." Ronald issued an order for dinner, and Susan Akins ordered his assistant to quickly bring the food truck, and all the actors and crew went to line up to pick up the meal.

The long line moved forward quickly, and Ronald naturally had someone to help him.He opened the tinfoil package, which contained heated beef burgers, a glass of Coke, a box of vegetable salad, and yogurt.

Weintraub is also quite fussy about these matters. Instead of using Colombian suppliers, he found a fast food restaurant himself to help deliver the food, which can save more than 90% of the cost.

"Hi, Eric? Didn't you pass the audition? I remember you weren't selected?" Ronald accidentally found an acquaintance in the queue.

It was Eric Stoltz who made his debut in his first film and also participated in the audition for the actor Daniel in "The Dragon Boy".He and a beautiful girl were making love to each other in the food pick-up line.

"Hi, Ronald", Eric Stoltz was not embarrassed when he was found to have a meal, but came up and hugged Ronald, showing that he knew the director very well.

"Are you...?" Ronald saw the beautiful girl, and his face was familiar.

"I'm Allie Sheedy" The girl wiped her hands and came to shake Ronald's hand.

Oh... Ronald remembered.This is Ally Sheedy, the heroine of the blockbuster movie "War Games" from a few months ago.He also met her in the casting of Universal's project "Sixteen Candles", but she lost out to Molly Ringwald, who was handpicked by director John Hughes.

"How about you?"

Ali Sheedy was embarrassed. "We're here for lunch."

Eric Stoltz relied on his debut work to be supported by Ronald, and explained it to Ronald.

It turned out that both of them were poor actors, and the income from some performances was also invested in acting training, clothing purchases, and apartment rent.Both the couple failed to audition for the lead role, so they had to come to the set for lunch.

"How do you know that I'm shooting here today, and I have a meal to spare?" Ronald became curious.

"Sorry, we can't betray our friends, I don't have to eat them." Ali Siti has been in the industry for a longer time. She knows that some crews have stricter management of box lunches, and some directors are more concerned about these mixed meals. If you win people, you will drive them away.

'It's okay, Ronald is my old friend', Eric Stoltz wants to save face in front of girlfriend.

"You have to tell me who notified you." Ronald didn't care that they came to eat, but someone said something about the crew, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's Sarah Jessica Parker. Please don't embarrass her, Mr. Director." Elle Sheedy begged Ronald softly, "We actors are very poor. Sometimes we don't have money to eat, so we just We can rely on friends to help us and tell us which crew is serving dinner. We all come here by bicycle to save gas."

"It's okay, I won't embarrass her. You can just eat here, and you can come later." Ronald nodded to them. These actors are also quite pitiful. kind of rules.

He went to talk to Sarah Jessica Parker, who played Elizabeth Sue's girlfriend.

Sarah Jessica Parker was also with a man, and the two shared a box lunch, carefully cutting the burger in half with plastic cutlery, each of them picking up a piece.

"Do you want to add one more?" Ronald recognized the actor who came to audition for the leading actor Daniel and was not selected. His name was Robert Downey Jr.

"Director Ronald!" Sara stood up and quickly said no, "I still have to go on a diet, and one box is enough for the two of us."

Ronald was very emotional. He didn't expect these young actors to be so downcast. In comparison, he was much better as a director.

"I have no objection to you coming to eat. I will say hello to Susan. I don't count the number of people who eat every day. If you want it, you can go and get another one."

"However," Ronald sniffled, as if he smelled a strange smell, "I'm not allowed to use these in my crew..."

Downey quickly picked up the rolled tobacco in his hand and put it in his pocket, "No problem, I don't know the rules here."

"Ronald, you are here, can you take a photo?" Elizabeth Su called a photographer together.

"Of course", Ronald smiled and took a group photo with Elizabeth with the carnival signboard as the background, and also took photos with Sarah Jessica Parker who played her good friend, her boyfriend Robert Downey Jr. and others.

"Remember to send me a copy of the photo," Elizabeth told the photographer.
