Chapter 197 Back to the Future Sequel - Everyones Turnaround(2/2)
When filming the first film, he was running between two crews and could only sleep two or three hours a day. He relied on Ronald to arrange a van so he could take a nap in the car. So the relationship between the two was very good.
"I said, don't you know how to skateboard? Why do you still want to learn?" Ronald was a little confused. Isn't skateboarding similar to riding a bicycle? Once you learn it, you won't forget it. Fox also had a lot of skateboarding scenes in the first film.
ah.
"Huh? I do know how to skateboard." Fox scratched his head. He didn't know what happened. It seems that I can't skateboard anymore and I have to learn it all over again with the coach.
"You must be too busy..." Leigh Thompson smiled, she was friends with both of them.
"Fortunately, now it's the director's turn to sleep three hours a day..." Fox smiled and nuzzled at Zemeckis.
"Haha..." Everyone was a little dissatisfied with Zemeckis's high standards and strict requirements, so they took the opportunity to make fun of him.
Zemeckis's previous film "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" has just been released in China, with a box office of 150 million. However, the production cost was more than 50 million, and the shooting period reached a seven-month period that made the distributor Disney want to vomit blood.
Month and a half.
Halfway through, Disney CEO Eisner even wanted to shut down the production stop and get out of the game, but fortunately Katzenberg made him give up the idea.
Who knew that something even more bloodthirsty would happen later? The post-production of this film was also very slow. Due to the need for the synthesis of live-action and animation, Industrial Light and Magic invested two teams, which took a year and two months to complete.
Therefore, even high box office cannot make up for the numerous production cost overruns.
Zemeckis, like the two heroines, has to rely on this sequel to make money and make Hollywood recognize his value again. Zemeckis needs financial rescue, so this time, he took a very radical approach.
Two sequels were filmed in succession.
Because the production cycle of two consecutive sequels is extremely long, they are still processed in parallel. After the second film is completed, the assistant director will be responsible for post-production, while another team will continue to shoot the third film, and Zemeckis will
I'm responsible for twice as much work as a normal director, so I'm very busy.
"How long do you have to shoot?" Ronald asked several friends. This was the first time in the history of Hollywood that two episodes were shot consecutively. He wanted to know more.
"We don't actually have many scenes, but the director requires us to be on set all the time. It's estimated that we will have to stay here for ten months..."
"Hey, this is really terrible..." Ronald couldn't help but feel that Zemeckis was not very humane. How could he not have a role and have to occupy all the scenes?
But there are advantages to this. Daydream's lightning lights and dog-viewing camera poles are charged according to the rental time. Zemeckis likes to waste other people's time, which is a good thing for business and Xiao Yan's study.
After Ronald's visit was completed, he returned to the city with Orion's Mike Medavoy. The two walked to the door of the filming base and found another Jennifer Parker, wearing the same costume, struggling with the security guard at the door.
If he hadn't just said goodbye to Elizabeth Sue inside, Ronald would have thought he had a vision problem. When he got closer, he discovered that it was Claudia Wells, who played Jennifer in the first film.
When it comes to the temperament and beauty of the two, Claudia Wells is actually better than Elizabeth Sue. She is more beautiful than the girl next door, and can be considered the most beautiful 1% in high school.
Already.
"Wow..." Wells, who had been refused entry to the set for the second day, squatted at the door and cried.
"What's wrong with you? Don't cry..." Ronald couldn't bear to see the beauty crying, so he pulled her up, and together with Mike Medavoy, persuaded her to leave the set, and found a cafe to slowly understand the situation.
"I heard that you gave up the role yourself?" Ronald couldn't figure out what was going on. Now it seems that the news in the "Hollywood Report" may not be true.
"My mother was seriously ill and I really needed this job...but my agent informed me that I had been blacklisted by Universal Pictures. I came to see Zemeckis several times and he wouldn't
Want to see me..."
Claudia Wells's costume was from four years ago. It was already a little yellowed, but it could be seen that she had washed and ironed it carefully.
"Is there any misunderstanding here?" Ronald handed the coffee cup to Claudia, but for a movie that has already started filming, it is definitely impossible to change roles.
"I don't know...I don't know what I did wrong..." Claudia's tears that had just stopped flowed again.
"Don't worry too much, ask your agent to help you see if there are other roles?" Ronald knew that Back to the Future has many teenage fans. Although the heroine Claudia Wells did not appear in the sequel, she did not
As for not being able to get a single role.
"My agent wanted to terminate my contract... He also warned me that I had to quit on my own initiative..."
"I remember you are Jewish?" Mike Medavoy suddenly interjected from the side. He saw the cross around Claudia's neck.
"I used to be, but I have reconverted to Christ, and now I am a born-again Christian..." Claudia Wells showed them the unique cross of their sect. This sect emphasizes spiritual rebirth and acceptance.
The gospel requires re-baptism as an adult before you can join the religion.
