Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Why didn't you turn on the lights?" Ronald and Brooke Shields, who had ended the opening ceremony, sneaked back to the hotel.

"Sir, the balloon that was released at the opening ceremony fell on a telephone pole, causing a blackout in Los Angeles. Our hotel switched to a backup generator, so the lights in the lobby were not fully on."

"This...? I really told the people of the city that the Olympic Games are opening, but in an unexpected way." Ronald guarded Brooke, and the two sneaked into the elevator.

"Well..." Brooke was going to the Bahamas the next day, so they hurry up as soon as they got out of the elevator. Kissed and entered the room.

"I'm going to be spoiled by you." Early the next morning, Brooke lay in bed, satisfied with the brunch that Ronald pushed over.

"The first gold medal in this Olympic Games was awarded to xu from China... He won the 50-meter pistol competition. This is also the first time an athlete from the eastern continent has won an Olympic gold medal."

"Hey?" Ronald's first news on the TV was an accident. Didn't he say that Hua Guo's strengths were in women's volleyball and gymnastics?

After taking Brooke to the airport, after the plane took off, Ronald came to Burbank's "Back to the Future" set.

During the opening ceremony yesterday, Ronald received the favor of Spielberg and made a big advertisement for his movie "Break Dance" in front of hundreds of millions of TV viewers around the world who watched the opening ceremony.

Spielberg was in a hurry to go home to reunite with his girlfriend and son before going back to film "Purple", and Ronald happened to give him a favor, as his commissioned representative, went to the set to see how Zemeckis was filming.

"Robert is an old friend of mine, and I have great confidence in his ability. The publisher Universal wants me to submit a report on the progress of the shooting, so I won't go, you go and see for me." Spielberg didn't take it seriously. , Ronald also came to take a look instead of Amberlin's big boss, and by the way, to explore Helen's class.

Filming has been going on for several weeks,

Exactly a watershed moment. The tacit cooperation of the crew should have undergone sufficient running-in at this time period, and the engine has reached its maximum output power.

As for the conflicted crew, at this point in time, the actors became more and more disliked by other actors, and they stumbled on each other every day by holding their breath, and they were on the verge of collapse.

"Back to the Future" seems to belong to the former, and everything is in order in the small town where the filming was filmed.

"This is a time-space shuttle modified from DeLorean's dmc-12 sports car." Director Zemeckis personally accompanied Ronald to visit the set. Although Spielberg has a good relationship with himself, this kind of inspection The people who are filming the progress still pay attention to it.

"We bought four cars in total and used them for different purposes." Zemeckis said, and opened the door. This pure-bred American sports car has been discontinued due to poor sales, but this swan's wings are open sideways. The doors are still nice.

Ronald wanted to sit inside, but the dashboard in the front cabin was equipped with a few things with diode digital displays, which acted as time-travel displays. The tall Ronald couldn't fit into the narrow driver's seat.

"When Stoltz was shooting, it was more difficult." Zemeckis scratched his head. He chose DeLorean to promote American manufacturing. He didn't expect the sports car factory invested by Johnny Carson to have problems with its design. Perfect for little guys under six feet, no wonder it broke.

Continuing to visit the studio, it has been arranged to look like a street in the 1950s. Except for the DeLorean, the rest of the road is also an old car from the 1950s.

Ronald looked around and still admired Zemeckis. The sets have all been verified, and they are all in the style of the 1950s, and the costumes of the actors are all in accordance with the style of the time, at least Ronald can't see any problems.

It seems that today's report is very good to write, "Zemeckis is a genius, everything is very good!" And that's it.

"Ronnie," a beautiful woman came to call him, was Helen Slater.

Seeing this, Zemeckis walked away and went about his own business.

Ronald raised his hand to greet her. Although there is no role in the story that travels back to the 1950s, Helen insists on coming to the scene every day to study. In fact, there is no place to complain about her hard work, that is, she is sometimes too persistent, and even depressed after the hope of becoming famous by "Supergirl" was shattered.

"How are you doing here?"

"Very good, the actor Eric Stoltz is a very good actor, and it's a pleasure to play with him." Helen said a lot about how to play with method actors.

"He won't let people call him by his name Eric right now. He has to let us call him Marty before he agrees. Saying that will keep him in the role."

Ronald nodded, this should be the little brother who learned something wrong with Sean Penn when filming "Fast Pace". However, in front of Helen, it is not easy to criticize this as a boring and superfluous trick.

"Hi Jennifer, I haven't seen you in a long time."

Eric Stoltz, wearing a jacket, jeans and a pair of running shoes, passed by the pair to say hello to Helen Slater. He called Helen by her character name Jennifer in the movie, and what he said was also a line in the plot.

"Didn't we just meet yesterday? Why do you look at me like you haven't seen me in a year." Helen also responded with the words in her lines.

Stoltz didn't seem to see Ronald, didn't come to say hello, and went to rest in the trailer.

"That's how he is. He is focused on the play. Sometimes we use lines like this to test each other's on-the-spot reactions." Helen explained.

Ronald frowned, this kind of crooked method really made him uncomfortable. And he is the first director to support him, even if he is immersed in the role, wouldn't he want to say hello?

"Hello, Ronald. It's nice to meet you. I've seen your breakdance and Long Wei Kid. Really talented work, and Elizabeth Shuri looks great."

Unlike Stoltz, Lorraine Thompson, who plays Marty's mother, has a lot of respect for Ronald. The first Burger King commercial, and now the real heroine of the movie, was recommended by Ronald.

"Nice to meet you too, how are you feeling here?"

"It's pretty good, much better conditions than the last 'Red Dawn'. John Milius really asked us to camp like he was training partisans, and there's at least one trailer here." Leigh Thompson heard Today, there is a big man sent by the producer to inspect, but I didn't expect it to be Ronald.

"That's different. It's a realist movie that changes the timeline. It's a light-hearted movie. It's sci-fi in name, but it's a light comedy in essence."

"Light comedy?" Leigh Thompson felt that Ronald's words made sense. There are not many sci-fi elements in this movie, but the theme of time travel has been rubbed into the plot. Many scenarios, such as charging back to the 1980s with the energy of lightning, are also far-fetched.

"Light comedy? Who said that?" Before shooting today's scene, while waiting for the lighting, Leigh Thompson, Helen Slater, and Eric Stoltz sat and rested, talking about Luo When Nader made this evaluation, Eric Stoltz became dissatisfied.

"Isn't this a light comedy?" Leigh Thompson was a little surprised, what did Stoltz think?

"Of course not, it's a tragedy."

"Tragedy? How do you understand it?" Helen Slater was very interested in Stoltz's statement, saying that the core of comedy is tragedy. Does Stoltz have any high points?

"Look, Marty traveled back to the past and changed history. His parents no longer obeyed their promises, but became successful people. When he comes back, will his parents still be the original parents?

That girlfriend Jennifer, the Marty who fell in love, is the original Marty? All the people, the appearance is still the same, but the inside is completely different. Marty travels back, only he remembers the original appearance of everyone, and he is the loneliest person in the world. Isn't this a tragedy? "

"That makes sense." Helen nodded.

"Don't say it," Leigh Thompson saw Ronald accompany Zemeckis over, for fear that they heard Stoltz. Ronald is a well-known commercial film machine, and in his eyes, he doesn't know how to view this kind of "high theory".

Ronald did hear this "high talk", and he was a little disgusted in his heart. These actors always take their acting skills as the highest goal, don't they care about the overall temperament of the movie?

This was originally a lighthearted commercial movie. Everyone accepted the assumption that you could go back to the past, then led to some stories, and finally solved the big problem. The protagonist also returned to his era, corrected the mistakes of his parents, and still had a relationship with his girlfriend. One step further.

It was a near miss, the good guys won and the bad guys were beaten.

At such a time, you want a Shakespearean tragic performance, which is simply superfluous.

"cut!"

Ronald watched a shot of Zemeckis. He wanted to report that everything went well, but he felt a little hesitant.

In this scene, Marty had just returned to the past and saw clothes and scenes from the 1950s on the street. He didn't know where he was, and he appeared surprised and overwhelmed.

Stoltz's performance, you can't say that his performance is unqualified, but he always acts in the direction of film noir. The feeling of being surprised and overwhelmed, it looked like he had just killed someone, and he was in a constant state of panic.

"Casting error", a thought arose in Ronald's mind.

Actors have their own qualities. Some people have better acting skills and can cover roles with different temperaments. Some people are more suitable for playing roles that match their temperament.

Marty McFly, the protagonist, should be the kind of optimist who is a little cowardly. We all had such a classmate when we were in school. He was very nice and got along well with everyone, but he didn't dare to turn against the bad guys who bullied him .

Stoltz is obviously too far from this temperament. In fact, Zemeckis initially chose Michael J. Fox, who was the most suitable candidate.

Stoltz's so-called method school is from the inside out, first identifying himself as a person with the same character in his heart, and then replacing the character's reaction with his own natural reaction.

But if the actor's interpretation of the character is wrong, it's a big problem.

"I want to see the dailies that have been shot," Ronald told Zemeckis softly.

"Is there a problem?" Zemeckis raised his eyebrows, didn't he say he was going to have a cutscene?

"I don't know yet, so need to see the samples."

"You, take Mr. Li." Zemeckis pointed to an assistant and asked him to take Ronald to the church on the set in the town, which is also where the crew watched the demo.

"Karala..." The final reel of the dailies ended the screening, idling on the projector, and the cut marks made up of black and white characters flashed on the screen.

"Tsk..." Ronald was a little embarrassed.

In the sample films accumulated over the past few weeks, Eric Stoltz's acting skills are actually very good. His performance is very structured and layered. It can be imagined that the Peter Bogdanovich directed "" "Mask", his acting has made a great breakthrough under the training of Bogdanovich. It's a few notches better than when he was directing his "fast pace".

But that's where the problem comes from, in that movie his character is a child with a facial deformity. Wearing a big headgear, you can only rely on eyes and body movements to convey emotions. The face is expressionless. Ronald also sees a bit of footage from his "Mask" in the library, which Zemeckis used for casting.

This kind of acting is really suitable for his method school, every move is initiated from the heart, so that the audience can feel his acting skills.

But on the whole, this kind of performance is too deep, Stoltz did not adjust it, and directly copied it to "Back to the Future". It's like a light comedy in which one of the protagonists is still playing a tragic role.

No matter how good the performance is, it is negative for the overall level of the film.

"Ronald, how would you write a report?"

Zemeckis, who ended the day early, grew increasingly uneasy about Ronald's request to see the dailies.

"I don't know, I want to hear your opinion." Ronald motioned to the projectionist to start over with Stoltz's Marty.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with his acting."

"e on! For God's sake, of course I know he's good at acting. But this is a commercial, not Shakespeare's King Lear."

"Hey...what do you want me to do?" Zemeckis, of course, knew about Stoltz's problem, but filming had been going on for a few weeks. The filming of a commercial film can no longer be stopped and replaced, or the entire crew will be suspended until Stoltz finds a way.

"This is your work, Robert. I know you went through a lot of hardship to make 'Back to the Future,' and to gain the trust of the big studios, you made 'Emerald' to prove yourself. Don't you want this movie to reflect your original intent perfectly?"

Ronald also felt that things were tricky, but when it came to a dilemma, no matter what he chose, he had to endure it.

"Of course I knew that Michael J. Fox was actually the best candidate, but that son of a bitch 'Family Bonds' producer Goldberg disagreed and we couldn't get Fox to play it, so we settled for the next best thing. Looking for Stoltz."

"That way, Robert," said Ronald, after thinking about it, "I'll tell Steven the truth and see what he has to say. If he thinks it's okay, then of course it's better.

If he thinks he needs to change, then we'll sit down and figure out a solution. It's almost the weekend, why don't you stop shooting and wait for him to make a decision? "

"That's all." Zemeckis watched Stoltz's performance on the screen. After being punctured by Ronald, he was dazzling no matter how he looked at it. It really doesn't fit in with the whole movie.

"shxt!" Zemeckis picked up a bottle of Coca-Cola and smashed it hard on the ground.

"Wow..." The glass bottle shattered. The staff hurried over to clean up.

"What's wrong?" The actors outside were still resting and eating when they heard noises in the church.

After a while, the staff poured out the broken glass?

"Is this a quarrel?" Everyone looked at each other.

"Have you heard? Helen Slater was introduced by Ronald to the cast to play the vase."

"Today Ronald said the movie should be a light comedy, and Stoltz ranted about that."

"Oh, I've seen him and Helen call each other by their characters' names."

"Helen", Leigh Thompson grabbed the angry Helen, "Let's go over there and ask, don't you get angry with these group performers. Ronald is a professional first person, I was in love with Dennis, Dennis's The ex-wife is his good friend, Ronald didn't embarrass me, he still gave me a very positive recommendation, and I got the first heroine."

"Is he really jealous because of me and Stoltz?" Helen looked at the broken glass on the ground, and her heart filled with the past.

"Is something wrong? We all heard noises outside." Leigh Thompson asked Ronald and Zemeckis as they walked out of the church.

"It's okay, there was a little accident." Ronald smiled back at them.

"We're going to make some changes to the set, and Ronald made a good suggestion, so tomorrow will be a temporary holiday, and you can come back next week." Zemeckis didn't want to cause confusion on the set, so he made an excuse

"Okay, director." Leigh Thompson was quite happy, her boyfriend Dennis Quaid was filming in Germany, and it was time to take advantage of the holiday to reunite.

"Ronnie, I..." Helen's eyes widened, looking at Ronald.

"If you're fine these two days, just follow me. I need your help with something." Ronald looked at Helen, who was five feet eight inches tall (1.73 meters), and it was just right for Stoltz. As Michael J. Fox, the height of about five feet four inches (1.62 meters) is not easy to play with her.

If he promised Gerald, he still had to help him to the end. If there was a change, he had to find a protagonist for Helen.

"Oh..." Helen responded, peeking at Ronald, not knowing what she was thinking.
