"During yesterday's Major League Baseball game at Komisk Park in Chicago, an amazing scene took place.
During halftime of a replay between the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers, thousands of disco records were dumped in the middle of the field, doused with gasoline, and set on fire.
According to Steve Dahl, a Chicago radio DJ who launched the movement, it is time to destroy this exclusive black and gay music.This indecent dance and lyrics discredit America and shame God.
Steve is on his 97.9 WLUP-FM channel, appealing to the audience to bring a disco record into the venue, which will be collected by the staff during the intermission and then destroyed on the spot.
He claimed that it was irresponsible for the loss of control of the scene, thousands of spectators rushed into the venue and set fire to the records, until they were driven away by the police.
Due to the lingering smoke and dangerous behavior of the crowd, the referee called the game an early end, with the Detroit Tigers winning at halftime. "
The news didn't seem to have had much impact in New York.The restaurant is still playing disco music, and the actors on the set, during the intervals of the lighting team, are still dancing disco.
America is big enough, and the resistance of conservative small-town residents in the south-central to disco has not yet affected young people in big cities on the east and west coasts.
……
Due to the use of leg warmers, the dancers wore dance clothes made of thinner and more transparent fabrics, which made it less likely to sweat, so the shooting progress was accelerated.
The crew is going to shoot a dance scene in the restaurant of the art school today.This is also the scene of the original theme song "Hot Lunch", but because the movie was renamed "Fame", this song was downgraded to an episode.
Carpentry has remodeled the original dining hall of Harlan High School according to the requirements of the production design.The small dining hall was stuffed with two old pianos and a drum set.
This is the first big scene of filming. There are more than 30 dancers, more than 10 musical instruments, and Irene Cara singing songs.
The film composed the music, and Michael Gore was there, still working on his lyrics.
"The high school students in the art school hate the food in the cafeteria, but the price of the cafeteria is low enough, so they have a feeling of love and hate for the cafeteria."
"Hey, what do you eat in the high school cafeteria?" Michael Gore looked at Ronald passing by, and asked him suddenly.
"What?" Ronald looked back. "Me? In high school, it was those mixed dishes. You know, what's cheap and what to do. It's either stew or mush, or carrots and salmon."
"Well, the ingredients for the dishes are cheap." Gore went back to record some inspirations.
"We're going to shoot today, and you still want to change the lyrics? Is it too late?" Ronald asked involuntarily.
"Huh? That's okay. I only filmed Erin Cara singing part of the lines today, and I have to continue to change the other parts."
"That's right." Ronald shook his head and sat down seeing him immersed in changing the lyrics again.
"Dang dong, dong dong, ding ding, dong dong." Gore began to press the melody on the piano.
"Today I ate mushy stew and salmon with carrots. No, it doesn't work out like this."
"If it's blue, it must be stew, if it's yellow, it's mush."
Ronald hummed the lyrics of his dream softly along with the tune.
"What? Sing what you just hummed!" Gore didn't hear clearly.
"If it's blue, it must be a stew. If it's yellow, it's mush." Ronald said, "We all line up to eat, and we can't see what dishes are far away. The color distinguishes what kind of unpalatable dish it is today."
"Very good, this sentence is very good, what's your name?"
"Ronald Lee."
"I'm the composer for the crew, Michael Gore."
"Dangdong, Dangdang, Dingding, Dangdang." Michael continued to play his melody.
"Macaroni and salmon,
Our favorite dish.
She made a hot lunch,
This is true for all. "
Ronald couldn't help but hum again.
"What? What? Sing it again." Michael Gore was excited again.
Ronald sang again, "The best lunch is salmon or macaroni, but usually only once or twice a week. So I have to rush to the cafeteria that day."
"Serving lady, cooking lady,
don't mess with her
she'll take every penny
give you a lunch a day
she is nice to everyone
One hot lunch per person”
"If it's blue,
That must be stew,
if it is yellow,
That is gooey. "
"Macaroni and salmon,
Our favorite dish.
She made a hot lunch,
This is true for all. "
"Wait a minute, I'll sing it to Irene Cara's manager, and I'll use this word today." Michael Gore took the newly revised lyrics and went to discuss with everyone.
"Anyway, it's the original version of the lyrics, so it doesn't matter if you give it to him in advance?" Ronald thought, and began to sit and observe the choreographer to design movements for each dancer.
This scene is a big scene, and it's okay to play various musical instruments, and the camera will allocate fixed shots.But the group dancers have to compete on their own, and they are still in the rehearsal stage, and they have already started to occupy each other's positions.
At that time, a big war may break out.Ronald felt that he should discuss it with the producer first.
Michael Gore, who rushed back again, interrupted his train of thought, "Hey, Ronald, let your agent come, Erin Cara's agent is very happy, the producer said to let you sign half of the words author."
"I don't have an agent yet, I'll call my lawyer."
"I'm a graduate of the Dwight-Englewood School of Music. Which music school are you from?"
"I never went to music school."
"Then you're still a genius lyricist, why don't you have an agent for your talent?"
"Actually, I'm studying directing, and I'm going to enroll in a few months."
Calling attorney Lindsay Doerr and asking her to handle the lyricist contract, Ronald started watching dance rehearsals again.
The dancers started bumping into each other on purpose, knocking each other out of camera range, stumbling, and toe-stomping.
"Ah..." A girl cried and pulled up her pants and ran outside the house.It turned out that her pants had been ripped off.
Over there, Lucy leaned against Gene, and was arranged by the choreographer to dance in a fixed position, so she didn't have to worry about her appearance time.
The production team is actually a group of monkeys. The monkeys with power divide the scope of power, and the monkeys without power either find backers or can only compete on their own.
"David, you have to look at the competition of dancers. We have to draw a line for them. If you want to compete, you can only limit it to the scope of dancing skills. You can't use bad tricks like stepping on your toes or pulling your pants, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble. Big trouble." Ronald approached producer David and offered his opinion.
After a while, the choreographer announced a new discipline, and the competition was limited to fighting dances, whoever danced well would get more camera time.Although it is not possible to completely eliminate off-the-board tricks, it is much better than before.
"Ronald, you graduated from a public high school, right? Why do you have so many skills? You can take pictures, write scripts, and write lyrics." Ronald's personal lawyer, Miss Lindsay Dole, negotiated The lyrics contract was handed to him.
"I can't explain it." Ronald began to look at the contract.
"Well, here is your signature, ranked second to the lyricist, and here is your share. After the movie is released, they have a plan to release the original soundtrack record at the same time. You can get some lyricist's dividend (Residual)."
"How is the dividend calculated?"
"A very small percentage of total sales. You get a check every quarter as long as the record sells above a certain number."
Ronald signed the contract and handed it to the lawyer lady.
"Also, although I can help you with these things, you'd better find an agent. In addition to the contract, they can also find new business for you."
broker?Ronald touched his ears, it seemed that he had to find an agent.
"Recording, camera, start shooting!"
"If it's blue, it must be stew, and if it's yellow, it's mush." Erin Cara sat at the piano and sang the lyrics written by Ronald to the music.The dancers started to jump on the piano, jumped on the dining table, and danced hard, hoping that the camera lens could stay on them for a few more seconds.
Gene and Lucy's roles are guaranteed, and they dance happily.
Even the two extras recommended by the audition studio to play the cafeteria aunt were very happy, twisting their thickened waist, and they also had a frontal shot.
"Cut! Very good, this is a print. The afternoon filming is over." Alan Parker announced that the filming of the canteen lunch scene was over, and all the actors shouted happily.
Irene Kara had the most frontal shots in today's scene, and she came here to thank Ronald happily. She liked the witty and witty lyrics, and she sang very comfortably.
"Everyone, today is my birthday, I invite everyone to my house for a party!" Gene sent invitations to all the actors after the filming ended.
"Okay, I'll go." It was a girl who performed in the group, and soon she was grabbed by her companion, and said quietly, "Jin is from Harlem, you dare to go?"
The scene of complete silence made Gene very embarrassed.Everyone left the scene in silence.Jean hit a plastic prop water cup on the ground with force.
"Wow..." The water splashed all over the floor, just like his mood.
After everyone left, Ronald stepped forward and asked Gene: "It's a good thing to invite everyone on a birthday, but why do you invite them to your home? Instead of looking for a restaurant, like the four of us did last time?"
"I...I want to show those bastards in the neighborhood."
