When Daniel woke up, he found himself lying on Master Miyagi's bed. He eagerly asked who saved him, and Miyagi smiled.

"It's you? It's impossible, right?"

"Why? I'm an old man?"

Miyagi took a cup of tea and handed it to Daniel, urging him to drink it and feel better.

"Why did you never tell me? You knew karate?"

"You never asked me."

"Where did you learn that?" Daniel still didn't believe it.

"Father, teach."

"I remember you said your father was a fisherman?"

Miyagi took a sip of hot tea and said, "Ryukyu, all Miyagi can do two things, fishing and karate."

"cut!"

Ronald stopped, "No, the mood here is wrong. Ralph Daniel needs to listen to Miyagi attentively. In his mind, Miyagi is no longer the kind repairman, but has saved himself in a few clicks."

Beat up four master karate students."

"I know, master, master..." Ralph Mazzio thought for a moment and changed his gaze to one of admiration.

"That's good," Ronald turned to the camera crew beside the camera rail and said, "Let's do it again."

This is a five-minute long shot. Ronald decided not to edit it and let the two actors play the very important opening scene of the second act in one go.

Ronald's explanation to Weintraub and Susan was that there were only Miyagi and Daniel in this scene. They not only told the origin of karate, but also introduced Miyagi's different martial arts philosophies, and finally let Miyagi

This is the first "ah-ha moment" in this movie where the audience suddenly realizes (meaning that the audience will make an ah-ha cry when they see this).

In fact, Ronald is a bit selfish. Of course, the emotions of this scene are more coherent if it is performed in one breath, but it is not impossible to cut it into several shorter shots.

But good directors will shoot several long shots in their works, whether to show off their skills or intentionally, to show their control over the actors and crew.

Now that Ronald has made his third movie, it's time for him to have a few long shots that represent his abilities. Only in this way will major Hollywood studios give him more big projects.

"Action!" Ronald ordered gently, as if he was afraid of scaring away the good chemistry between the two actors.

"Karate was introduced to Ryukyu from China in the 16th century. Te means hand. My old ancestor from Miyagi in Ryukyu added kara, karate."

Noriyuki Morita corrected Ralph Mazzio's posture of holding a Japanese teacup by asking him to hold it from below instead of holding the teacup, so that his hands would not burn.

"I thought it came from Buddhist temples (Shaolin boxing)." This was the first time Daniel heard this theory about the origin of karate.

"You watch too much TV." Miyagi shook his head.

"My mother said so too." Daniel suddenly stared at Master Miyagi, "Have you ever had an apprentice before?"

"No." Miyagi twisted some water soaked in herbs into a towel and applied it to the scars on Daniel's face.

"Will you take on an apprentice?"

"That depends on the situation." Miyagi pretended to be reserved. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"What's going on?" Daniel asked very eagerly.

"reason?"

"For...revenge?" Daniel touched the scars on his face.

"Daniel-san, if you want revenge, you might as well dig a grave for yourself and your opponent first. Violence is always the last solution to all problems." Miyagi took a sip of water.

"Oh...Mr. Gong Cen, I don't mean any harm, but I think you don't understand my problem." Daniel was disappointed to hear the cliche from the TV series.

"Miya... Cheng, I completely understand your problem." Miyagi said while drinking tea, "Your friends are all students of the karate dojo, huh?"

"Friends? Oh, yes, them." Daniel was a little uncomfortable with Miyagi calling the Johnny Four "friends".

"The big problem is attitude..."

"Ah? No, the problem is that I get beaten up by them every few days. That's my problem."

"Alas... alas..." Miyagi interrupted Daniel in disgust, "Those kids have attitude issues, karate... can only be used for self-defense..."

"This attitude is not what their coach taught them."

"I see," Miyagi put down the tea cup, "There are no bad students, only bad teachers. Teachers teach and students learn."

"Oh, I understand," Daniel began to laugh at himself, "I just need to go to the dojo and talk to their teacher, and the problem will be solved."

"Well... you can finally use your head to think about problems instead of being beaten." Miyagi was very satisfied with Daniel's understanding.

"I'm joking." Daniel smiled bitterly.

"Why the joke?"

"Because if I go to their dojo, I'm afraid they will kill me on the spot." Daniel exaggerated.

"Hmph... You're dead anyway whether you go or not." Miyagi picked up the teacup and drank again.

"Can you go to their dojo with me?" Daniel frowned, and he suddenly remembered that Miyagi in front of him was a karate master.

"no."

"Why? Didn't you say it was a good idea?"

"Alas... alas..." Miyagi shook his head in disgust, "It's a good idea for you, I'll go for it. A good idea for me, don't worry too much."

Daniel was speechless, he didn't expect Miyagi to say such words.

"Then thank you for leaving me alone. You caused me trouble and beat them up. Don't help me anymore, let them beat me up, and I'll get beaten less." Daniel stood up and walked toward the door angrily.

Go.

"Daniel-san", Miyagi also felt that something was wrong. He had indeed intervened and he could not just let the child be beaten again.

He stood up from the stool and walked towards Daniel who stopped in front of the door.

Ronald made a pushing gesture, and the coolie pushing the camera began to push the camera forward at a very slow speed.

Miyagi's body in the viewfinder slowly grew taller as the camera moved forward.

When the audience sees this, they will have a psychological guidance. We always enlarge those important characters in our hearts.

"Okay, I'll go." Miyagi nodded in agreement.

"That's great, that's great, Mr. Gong Cen." Daniel ran back from the door happily.

"Miyagi..." Master Miyagi handed Daniel the handkerchief stained with herbs and asked him to apply it on his face.

"Mr. Miya...cheng, who are you?" Daniel returned to his curious look.

"You like the canvas one? Haha..." Miyagi lifted up his clothes and showed Daniel his belt, "I bought it from J.C. Penney for three dollars and ninety-eight cents."

"I'm not asking about that, I'm asking about karate belts." Daniel thought Miyagi had misunderstood what he meant.

“In Ryukyu, trouser belts mean that you don’t need straw ropes to tie your trousers, hahaha.”

"Then... this joke is funny." Seeing that Miyagi didn't answer, Daniel thought he didn't have any rank, so he turned around and left in disappointment."

"Daniel-san..." Miyagi stopped laughing and called Daniel.

Ronald made another open-fingered gesture, and the director of photography very slowly began to zoom in on the camera.

Everyone held their breath, and this long shot finally reached the end. It depends on Morita Noriyuki's performance and whether he can draw a perfect ending.

As the camera slowly zoomed in, Master Miyagi became taller and taller in the viewfinder.

"Karate, here..." Miyagi hit his head with his fist.

"Karate, here..." Miyagi pointed to his heart again.

"Karate, never here."

Miyagi patted his belt one last time.

"You...understand...?"

Miyagi smiled slightly, this young man had a good understanding, "Good night, Daniel-san."

Miyagi leaned forward slightly and bowed to Daniel in farewell.

"Good night...Gong Cen...Master Miyagi." Daniel panicked and also learned to bow, and then walked out of the door.

"Tomorrow morning?" Daniel remembered before going out that he hadn't made an appointment yet.

"Ten o'clock", Miyagi replied.

"cut!"

Ronald yelled, and his first long shot of nearly five minutes was completed.

"Bravo!" Weintraub, who was next to him, also shouted, leading all the staff to applaud.

"You are really a genius. All American boys will fall in love with this wise master-disciple dialogue." Weintraub was very happy. The second long shot that he was most worried about was shot perfectly.

Ronald and the director of photography confirmed that the footage was available, and he was very happy, "No, mainly because Ralph and Morita rehearsed very thoroughly. Every action and every line of dialogue here needs a sense of layering."
