Exploiting Hollywood 1980

   Chapter 268 Clearance

   After the crew announced the ban again, Ronald did not find out who was doing the trouble. If this kind of thing is not based on real evidence, there is no way to blame the suspect.

   Ronald called CAA's Nisita to complain, and after receiving assurances from Nisita to put pressure on the suspect's agent, he went back into filming.

After the Van Nuys High School scene was filmed, Spiccoli, after crashing the football star Jefferson's sports car, thought of a trick, parked the car in front of the school, and painted "Go to hell, Richmond" in paint. - Sincerely, Lincoln High School".

  Jefferson, thinking he was the opponent for the next high school league game, sent someone to wreck his car. Get angry in the game, often sack the opposing quarterback. Knocked down countless players, finally won the victory, and breathed a sigh of relief for his car.

  Because the football field at Van Nuys High School did not meet the requirements, the crew moved to Canoga Park High School, where the football field was larger and filming was more convenient.

   This is the scene with the most group performances. The assistant director team arranged for more than 100 group performances, and all the students who played Richmond High School also participated in the show to play the audience.

  Ronald is going to reward Nicholas Coppola, Eric Stoltz, etc. for several outstanding performances, and give them a few close-ups in the football scene.

   "Hi, Director." Several beauties who acted as cheerleaders showed off their cheerleading uniforms and dance moves in front of Ronald.

   "Very good, I'll give you a close-up later."

   Ronald saw that Shakespeare actor Kelly Maloney, also in the crowd.

   "Let me see the lines again."

"One...two...three, the Wolves are going forward." The group performers put one hand on their hips, raised the cheering ball with the other, and swayed their buttocks rhythmically, showing Ronald Richmond High School cheering dance.

   "Very good." Ronald applauded, preparing the assistant directors for the shoot.

   "One...two...three, Wolves charge forward.

  One...two...three, beat Lincoln High School. "

   A row of beautiful women dancing, this shot must be very good, it is a candy for the audience. Ronald thought to himself.

   "Cut!"

   Then there's a shot of Kelly Maloney dancing alone, biting off each finger of the glove with her teeth and waving it to the rhythm.

   "Cut!"

   "Director, how am I dancing?" Kelly Maloney came over and asked Ronald excitedly. Maroney, who has two big eyes, is in very good shape. His breathing, which has not calmed down just after dancing, takes his body up and down, making Ronald and the assistant director behind him feast for the eyes.

   "Very good, Maroney." Let's do another shot of you dancing with the other cheerleaders.

   "Okay, thank you, Ronnie." Maroney jumped back to the middle of the line, and tonight she was the only one who enjoyed the treatment of dancing solo in front of the camera.

   "Action!"

Ronald started filming the cheerleaders dancing again. This time it was a frontal dance. Maroney took the best position in the middle. The two groups who were more beautiful than her could only be separated on the left and right sides to set off Out of Maroney.

   "Here's a shot of Forest Whitaker, is he ready?" Ronald asked his assistant.

   "Here I am, Director." Forest Whitaker was wearing a football jersey and helmet protection, his eyes were looking through the helmet's protective strip, and staring at people was really threatening.

   "Very good, today you're a college football scholarship recipient again, show these rookies what professional football is, Forest."

   "OK, Director." Forest Whitaker seemed to have been waiting for this moment.

   His opponent today is the Canoga Park High School football team. Compared with Whitaker, who can play professional games, he is like a chicken in front of the eagle.

  There were not enough staff, so Ronald divided the football team members who were willing to participate in the shooting into two groups, one played the Richmond High School Wolves and the other was the Lincoln High School Bears.

  The lights illuminate one corner of the stadium, and all the group performances playing the audience are behind the stands on this side. Although it was a Universal project, but the budget was not enough to invite many audiences, Ronald could only fill one auditorium.

   Then he moved all the players to a corner. In a longer focal length shot, it is the effect of a stadium full of spectators watching a game of two full football teams.

   "Action!"

  Forrest Whitaker attacked like an animal that has always been ferocious, putting the opposing team on the ground.

   "Very good, let's change the pose."

   After filming more than 20 actions to bring down the players, Ronald saw that Whitaker was also gasping for breath, and announced the end of the sequence.

  Then the filming of the auditorium, the actors who performed well before were treated as close-ups.

   Then he came back and shot Whitaker putting on his teammates and even the referee.

   In the middle of the night, the shooting of this biggest exterior scene was finally completed.

   Since tomorrow is a weekend holiday, the actors and staff also got into the car and left together with their male and female counterparts. Sean Penn got Pamela Springsteen, Cameron Crowe got his girlfriend Nancy Wilson, and they all drove away.

   Ronald also drove away in his rented car.

   "I thought Kelly Maloney, that bitch, was in the director's car? She got so many close-ups today." Some cheerleaders were discussing gossip.

   "Maybe the director thinks she's on camera?"

   "Being on camera, don't be kidding, which of us is not as photogenic as her, Bi Chi."

   Ronald didn't even know that his actions had caused groundless speculation from the rest of the crew. He lay on the bed after taking a shower and fell asleep. Got up tomorrow morning to visit Stacey and Brad's house.

  Maroney didn't know where to get the line. It was an order given to Ronald by the producer. Fortunately, it was just a shot of two cheerleaders, which did not hinder the overall creation.

  The scene of Stacey's house, a small house in the West Hills, on the outskirts of Los Angeles. There is a swimming pool in the yard, the size can accommodate three or five friends to play in it.

   Having seen all the indoor and outdoor scenes yesterday, Ronald and DP Matthew were relieved. On Monday morning of the new week, the crew began filming two big scenes at Stacey's house.

  Jennifer Jason Lee wore a pink blouse, her shawl long hair shone in the sun, and her hair was decorated with three feathered decorations, with some Indian elements. Makeup artists and costumers racked their brains to make her look youthful.

   Ronald saw Jennifer's outfit and was very satisfied. The makeup artist extended her eyelashes very long, and the close-up and close-up showed Jennifer's youthful and beautiful features.

   "Very good. Recording? Camera? Action!"

   "The swimming pool at your house is really nice." Scalper Mike said sitting in the living room.

  Stacey came over and sat at the table, and said to the scalper Mike, "Do you want to swim? If you want, I'll change clothes."

  The camera turns from the track, from the side of Mike to the close-up of the front.

  Robert Romanus, who played Mike, seemed a little inexplicable. He took a sip of the iced tea on the table and said, "Your iced tea is really good."

   "Cut!"

  Ronald felt satisfied, "Change clothes, next one."

  Jennifer Jason Lee went to the locker room and changed into a swimsuit, a blue tank top, and cute swimming trunks.

   "Brad put his swimsuit in the locker room over there", Stacey motioned for the scalper Mike to follow.

  Mike stood up lazily, then followed him joggingly.

   "Cut!"

  The outside scenes have been filmed, and the next is the first time the two have a good time.

  The interior of the room was already set up to suit the shooting, and the assistant director came out to signal that Ronald could start.

"Jennifer", Ronald asked her to come over, this transition scene is over, just shoot the indoor scene, I will give you half an hour to familiarize yourself with the environment inside, if it takes longer, you will also let me know, okay? ?

   "Okay, Ronald." Jennifer was mentally prepared for the **** scene in the show.

   She walked in, and the light was adjusted to a little yellow, giving a warm and safe feeling. Jennifer sat down and began to mentally prepare.

  Romanus, who played Mike, walked into the trailer himself and started psychological construction behind closed doors. He just got the content of the script yesterday, but he didn't expect that he was playing a fast shooter.

   He was originally going to brighten the cannon from the Bronx, New York, but he was also a bit psychologically beaten and needed a private space for some psychological construction.

   After half an hour, Jennifer Jason Lee signaled that she was ready.

   Ronald looked at her firmly, knowing that she was really ready.

   "Make up and touch up her makeup." Ronald gestured to Jennifer's lips to be a little dry, and asked the makeup artist to moisten them with a balm.

  Romanus also walked in and parted ways with Jennifer's eyes.

   "This state is good." Ronald secretly applauded.

   "I'm really nervous." Phoebe Cates, who came with her, was even more nervous than Jennifer.

"Clearance."

   "Clear the field now."

  The first assistant director Al, holding an electric horn, asked all the staff to go out.

   Makeup, clothing, hairstyle, go out first. The follower measured the focal length, fixed one side of the focus knob, and then moved out.

   Then came the recording team, and the decision was settled with post-dubbing.

   Then Al walked out himself, replaced by a female second assistant director.

   There were only a few people left, and the director of photography, Matthew, took the shot himself. Heckling, the second assistant director, and Ronald.

   The second assistant director stepped forward to straighten Jennifer's hair. Hecklin held the scene board with a mark on it, indicating that there was no recording in this scene.

   "Tell me when you're ready." Ronald looked at Jennifer and said softly.

   "I'm ready." Jennifer said firmly.

After a    slap on the board, Ronald said softly, "Action!"
