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

"Sir, the balloons released during the opening ceremony fell on the telephone poles, causing a blackout in Los Angeles. Our hotel switched to a backup generator, so the lights in the lobby were not fully turned on."

"This...? I really told the people in the city that the Olympics has begun, but in an unexpected way." Ronald protected Po Ji, and the two sneaked into the elevator.

"Well..." Brooke was going to the Bahamas the next day. As soon as they got out of the elevator, they took the time to kiss and entered the room.

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

"The first gold medal in this Olympics was awarded to Xu from China... He won the 50-meter pistol competition. This was also the first time an athlete from the Eastern Continent won an Olympic gold medal."

"Huh?" Ronald turned on the TV and the first news was an accident. Didn't it say that China's strengths lie in women's volleyball and gymnastics?

After sending Brooke to the airport, and waiting for the plane to take off, Ronald came to the "Back to the Future" set in Burbank.

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

Spielberg was anxious to go home to reunite with his girlfriend and son before going back to film "The Color Purple," and Ronald happened to return a favor and, as his entrusted representative, went to the set to see how Zemeckis was filming.

"Robert is an old friend of mine, and I have great trust in his ability. The distributor Universal wants me to submit a report on the filming progress. I won't go, and you can go and take a look for me." Spielberg didn't take it seriously.

, Ronald came to take a look instead of Amblin's big boss, and by the way, he explored Helen's class.

The filming has been going on for a few weeks, which is a watershed moment. The crew, which has a tacit cooperation, should have been fully run-in by this time, and the engine has reached maximum output power.

As for the crew, which is full of conflicts, at this point in time, the actors have become increasingly dissatisfied with the other actors, and they are holding their breath and trying to trip each other up every day, and they are almost on the verge of collapse.

"Back to the Future" seems to belong to the former. In the small town where the filming was taken, everything was in order.

"This is a time 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 him, this kind of supervision

People who take photos still pay attention to the progress.

"We bought a total of four cars for different purposes." Zemeckis said and opened the door. This purebred American sports car has been discontinued due to low sales, but this one opens sideways like a swan's wings.

The doors are still very nice.

Ronald wanted to sit inside, but the instrument panel in the front cabin was equipped with several diode digital displays, which served as time travel indicators. Ronald, who was tall and mighty, could not fit into the narrow driver's seat.

"It was also more difficult when Stoltz was filming." Zemeckis scratched his head. He originally chose DeLorean to promote American manufacturing. He didn't expect that this sports car factory invested by Johnny Carson had design problems.

Suitable for little people under six feet, no wonder it's broke.

We continued to visit the set, which had been decorated like a street in the 1950s. Except for the DeLorean, the rest of the roads were all old cars from the 1950s.

Ronald looked around and admired Zemeckis very much. The sets were all authenticated and were in the style of the 1950s. The costumes of the actors were also in the style of that time. At least Ronald could not see any problems.

.

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

"Ronnie", a beautiful woman came up to him and called him, it was Helen Slater.

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

Ronald raised his hand and greeted her. Although there was no role in the plot that traveled to the 1950s, Helen still insisted on coming to the scene to study every day. There is nothing to complain about her hard work, but sometimes it was too much.

I was too persistent, and even became depressed after my hopes of becoming famous as a "Superwoman" were dashed.

"How are you doing here?"

"It's very good. The leading actor Eric Stoltz is a very good actor, and it's a pleasure to act with him." Helen said a lot about her experience in acting with Method actors.

"He won't let anyone call him Eric now. He will only agree to it if we call him Marty. He says this will allow him to stay in character."

Ronald nodded. This was probably a mistake this little brother learned from Sean Penn when he was filming "Fast Times". But in front of Helen, it was hard to accuse this of being a boring and unnecessary 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 two and said hello to Helen Slater. He called her by the name of Helen's character in the movie, Jennifer, and said the words are also lines in the plot.

.

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

Stoltz didn't seem to see Ronald, nor did he come to say hello, but went to rest in the trailer.

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

Ronald frowned. This kind of misunderstood method really made him uncomfortable. Besides, he was the first director to support him. Even if he was immersed in the role, wouldn't he be willing to say hello?

"Hello, Ronald. It's so nice to meet you. I went to see your Breakdancing and Dragonboy. They are real works of genius, and Elizabeth Shue looks great in them."

Unlike Stoltz, Leigh Thompson, who plays Marty's mother Lorraine, respects Ronald. Ronald recommended her for her debut in the Burger King commercial and now as the heroine of this real movie.

Come.

"Nice to meet you too. How do you feel here?"

"It's pretty good. It's much better than the conditions in the last 'Red Dawn'. John Milius really looked like he was training guerrillas and asked us to camp. There is at least one trailer here." Leigh Thompson heard about it.

Today, a big shot from the production company came to inspect, but I didn't expect it to be Ronald.

"That's different. It's a realistic movie that changes the timeline. It's a light-hearted movie. It's science fiction in name, but it's actually a light comedy."

"Light comedy?" Leigh Thompson thinks Ronald's words make sense. There aren't many science fiction elements in this movie. It's just the theme of time travel that's been incorporated into the plot. Many scenes, such as charging with lightning energy,

Going back to the 1980s is quite far-fetched.

"Light comedy? Who said that?" Before filming today's scene, while waiting for lighting, Lea Thompson, Helen Slater, and Eric Stoltz sat together to rest and talked about Luo

When Nader made this comment, Eric Stoltz became dissatisfied.

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

"Of course not, this is a tragedy."

"Tragedy? How do you understand it?" Helen Slater was very interested in Stoltz's statement. They all said that the core of comedy is tragedy. Did Stoltz have something to say?

"You see, Marty traveled back in time and changed history. His parents no longer were submissive, but became successful people. So when he comes back, will his parents still be the same parents?

Is the girlfriend Jennifer, the Marty she fell in love with, still the same Marty? Everyone is still the same on the outside, but completely different on the inside. Marty travels back in time, and only he remembers everyone's original appearance, and he is the world's most important person.

The loneliest person, what is this if not a tragedy?"

"That makes sense." Helen nodded.

"Stop talking." Leigh Thompson saw Ronald walking over with Zemeckis, fearing that they would hear what Stoltz said. Ronald is a famous commercial film machine, and in his eyes she didn't know

What do you think of this "high argument"?

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

This is originally a light-hearted commercial movie. Everyone accepts the assumption that you can go back to the past, and then leads to some stories, and finally solves the big problem. The protagonist also returns to his time, corrects the mistakes of his father's generation, and still has a relationship with his girlfriend.

Go one step further.

There were no near misses, the good guys won, and the bad guys were defeated.

At this time, if you want to perform a Shakespearean tragedy, it is simply superfluous.

"cut!"

Ronald finished watching one of Zemeckis' scenes. He originally wanted to report that everything went well, but he felt a little hesitant.

In this scene, Marty has just returned to the past and saw the clothes and scenes of the 1950s on the street. He didn't know where he was, and he looked surprised and at a loss.

You can't say that Stoltz's performance is substandard, but he always acts in the direction of film noir. It feels like he is surprised and overwhelmed, as if he has just killed someone and is in constant panic.

"Wrong casting", a thought came to Ronald's mind.

Actors all have their own qualities. Some are better at acting and can cover roles with different temperaments, while some are more suitable for playing roles that match their temperament.

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

.

Stoltz is obviously far different from this kind of temperament. In fact, Zemeckis initially chose Michael J. Fox, which was the most suitable candidate.

Stoltz's so-called method is to start from the inside out, first internally identifying yourself as the same person as the character, and then replace the character's reaction with your own natural reaction.

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

"I'd like to see a sample of the shoot." Ronald pulled Zemeckis over and told him gently.

"Is there any problem?" Zemeckis raised his eyebrows. Didn't he just agree to go through the motions?

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

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

"Kala..." The last reel of samples ended, idling on the projector, and editing marks composed 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 is actually very good at acting. His performance is very structured and layered. It can be thought of that he filmed before the film "" directed by Peter Bogdanovich.

"Mask", his acting skills have made great breakthroughs under Bogdanovich's training. It is several notches better than when he directed his "fast-paced" performance.

But the problem also arises from this. His character in that movie is a child with facial deformity. He wears a big balaclava and can only rely on his eyes and body movements to convey emotions. His face has no expression. Ronald also watched in the film library

The scenes in his "mask" were seen by Zemeckis when he was casting them.

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