Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 500 Find a big star to comeo
Early the next morning, Ronald, who got the working sample, began to watch those dance clips repeatedly in the editing car.

So far, the most exciting is the three paragraphs,
The first part is Falken's rival dancer, the fusion of robot dance and noodle dance, which is a new form of break dance. Falken told Ronald that this is called "popular robot dance Pop". Locking".

The second paragraph is the motor played by Boogaloo Prawn, who dances a broom dance, which is completely natural, and there is no trace of stagnation.Moreover, his moonwalk skills are proficient, which is of great benefit to the ending I want to shoot.

The last part is the floor dance of the hand man. If you don't tell you in advance that he is a polio patient, many people may not be able to see it.

After cutting the three dances together, Ronald asked Minahan to send it to be turned into a video tape.

"Hurry up today, I want it tonight."

"Okay, I'll send someone to your house."

Ronald returned to the apartment, called CAA's agent first, then took a shower, shaved his beard, and had a good night's sleep.Energetic, he got up just in time to wait for the two video tapes sent by Minahan's assistant.

"Thank you," Ronald looked at the video tapes in his hand, one in Sony Beta format and one in VHS format, and put them in his purse.Putting on his handmade suit, Ronald drove out and headed directly to CAA's office.

"Are you here?" Nisita was already waiting for him in suits and ties. "MJ signed a contract with Pepsi for a national promotion tour and became their product spokesperson. He arrived in Los Angeles yesterday and stayed overnight at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel today.

But he is very busy, and the album sales have broken many records. He is no longer the first-line singer in the past, but a top-notch singer. I can only arrange for you a chance to chat for a few minutes. "

"No problem, I have something he's interested in here." Ronald shook the purse in his hand.

"Okay, let's go." Nisita drove the car herself, and the two headed to the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel.

Michael Jackson's ostentation is getting bigger and bigger, and there are bodyguards guarding the door in his bedroom.

After confirming with the inside, Ronald walked into the room.

"Hi, Ronald, nice to meet you, I heard you have something to do with me?" MJ spoke softly, like a teenager who hasn't grown up, but his whole person's aura has changed from the last time I saw him Big difference.

It seems that Pepsi's record-breaking US$500 million celebrity endorsement fee really made the pop star realize his own value.

"Sorry to bother you, I always remember what you said, looking for a moonwalk dance instructor."

Ronald took out two video tapes and handed them to the assistant next to MJ.

There was a shot of Boogaloo doing the "Motor's Broom Dance" on TV.

"What's his name?" MJ stood up immediately when he saw the light and rhythmic moonwalk, "I want to know his name"

"His name is Boogaloo Shrimp, and his real name is Michael Chambers," Ronald said to his assistant. "You can also read the next paragraph."

Falcon's popular mechanical dance during the fight dance appeared on TV again.Unlike ordinary mechanical dances, his version is elegant and unrestrained, not exactly the sluggishness of robots.

Seeing MJ turn his head again, Ronald quickly said, "This is Bruno Falcon, he named this dance himself, it's called Pop Locking style."

"Let my agent call them." MJ told the assistant.

"Hey, they are shooting a new movie in my crew now." Ronald interrupted beside him, "It's a movie about breakdancing, and those are the shots in the movie."

"A movie?" MJ became interested. He made a black version of "The Wizard of Oz" in [-], but the box office and film reviews were average.Seeing that Ronald was making a dance film this time, I became a little interested. "

"Would you like to go and have a look? Then you can make a guest appearance." Ronald said his real purpose with a smile.

"I'm afraid it won't work. My current itinerary is arranged by my agent." Michael Jackson is now the darling of all the little girls in America, and he knows very well that he can't just accept the guest appearance invitation.

"It's not about playing a role, you just have to play yourself as a cameo. Besides, you also want to ask them both to be choreographers, just go to my place, chat with them, and it will be an interview."

"Is that so? Is there still time in my schedule?" Michael Jackson was really eager to find talent for the spacewalk between Falcon and Bugaloo, and his opponent was also very interested. It would be nice to meet him when he has time.

The assistant flipped through the schedule, "Tomorrow we have to go to Los Angeles, and we won't be back until next Wednesday."

"That's no problem. I asked the people from CAA to arrange it. You only need to show up. The filming only takes 5 minutes, and you can have a good chat with them."

"Then it's settled, Ronald." After MJ finished speaking, he turned his head and motioned to the assistant.

"His schedule is tight, so..." The assistant pulled out the video tape and returned it to Ronald

"Then I won't bother you," Ronald said goodbye knowingly.

"Yeah!" After walking downstairs and getting into Nisita's car, Ronald couldn't hold back and shouted with clenched fists.

"Hahaha, it seems that your share will be greatly increased." Nisita smiled and drove away.

"Yes, your share will also be greatly increased."

Ronald informed Minahan of the good news overnight, making him ready to set up the dance competition scene on Wednesday, and then asked Falcon to attend on time.

Then Ronald began to rewrite the final ending.

Cyclone is Latino, and Mada is black. Such an ethnicity is unlikely to enter Broadway, and a white girl like Kelly will play the leading role in a musical.

Ronald still let the trio win the dance competition, but in the end they did not recommend the trio to Broadway.They were busy and fought hard, but in the end they got nothing but a trophy.

Kelly still returned to the burger restaurant as a waiter, and Ma Da and Huofeng still worked in the convenience store.

The only change is that the trio will often go back to dance where they met in Venice Beach.

Maybe break dancing is not inherently a high-end place like Broadway. Audiences need to pay for tickets to come in and enjoy this kind of street dance.

Breakdancing should belong to the street, belong to the poor, and all lovers can enjoy it or learn from it. These people will selflessly share their skills.

The trio happened to be at the beach that day, teaching Latino, black, and white kids the basics of breakdancing from scratch.

A tall and thin black man walked on the beach. He approached the dance venue, watched their wonderful dance scene, and took off his sunglasses, "You dance well, can you dance together?"

After Ronald finished writing, he read it several times, laughed a few times, and fell asleep satisfied.

This is his second attempt at a Billy Wilder-esque ending.The original climax was to win the dance competition championship, but in reality it is impossible to realize the dream of entering Broadway.

The plot is reversed here once, and the audience will feel excited and a little bit bitter.The real life is like this, where there will be a big gift that reaches the sky in one step, and falls on oneself every day.

The three insisted on their nature, and did not give up because they liked break dancing. In the end, they found fun in the street and were accidentally noticed by the emperor superstar.

The movie can stop abruptly here, giving the audience full room for imagination.They were spotted by MJ and went to the dance troupe?Or as MJ's choreography coach?Or they just met by chance, according to the rules of street dancers, after a dance, they parted ways.

On Monday of the second week, the crew resumed filming.

Already knowing that they would have a chance to meet Michael Jackson, the lead actors were a little excited.Although they didn't show it on the surface, Ronald could see it at the end of the filming, each trying to bring out the best of their abilities.

This helped Ronald a lot. A very energetic actor, he can often improvise very difficult dance moves on the set. Some moves are not easy for them to practice normally.For no reason, the dance quality of the movie has improved a lot.

On this day, the filming moved to the Debbie Reynolds dance studio.

"Ronald, be careful. I've just finished the renovation, and I'm going to start recruiting and opening next month." Debbie Reynolds still appeared on the set and told Ronald a few words.

"No problem, Ms. Reynolds, I've made all the arrangements." Ronald took Reynolds to look at his arrangements.

In order not to damage the decoration of the dance classroom, the props used wooden boards to cover the mirrors on the four walls, and then brought a few large mirrors of their own.

Another common shooting plan is to replace the real wall with a false wall, so that it is easy to dismantle and restore the original dance classroom after the shooting is completed.

"Well, I'm relieved if you do this. Are you making a musical?" Debbie Reynolds looked at the scene set and asked.

"Yes, Debbie. It's a movie about street dancing. I love your 'Singin' in the Rain' and want my movie to be as successful as your masterpiece."

"Hahaha, few people make musicals now. At that time, musicals were the best-selling genre." Debbie Reynolds recalled when she was young.

"At that time, there were a group of technicians who specialized in filming musicals, non-stop every day. As soon as the A-level blockbuster was finished, the B-level small production moved into the set and continued shooting. It was like an assembly line, bang! A movie was finished."

"Singin' in the Rain is my first movie. I practiced that dance. After a day of filming, my dancing shoes were full of blood from the soles of my feet."

Debbie Reynolds looked at Ronald, "I can't think of anyone making a dance film now, I hope you succeed, Ronald."

"This young man is good-looking. If only my daughter's boyfriend, Paul Simon, had his talents. The singers are still unreliable, and they are always crying."
