Chapter 32: "Stuttering" is finished
IBM (5155) personal laptop, the prototype of the "personal portable computer" launched in February, is also the prototype of the notebook computer, and the personal portable computer that Leicester bought for 9683 US dollars is quite expensive.
For filming, Lester bought two and used them for the crew to shoot the scene where the protagonist Greenwood chats with his girlfriend, and can be placed on the desk when they are used up.
Begin!
The props team turned the room upside down, and the gaffer began to play the right dark color tone around the surroundings, and everything was ready, and Lester shouted to start shooting.
Robert Jr. holds a portable cellular phone (Big Brother cell phone)... A stammering phone call looking for bills goes into the camera.
Unable to speak, Greenwood silently recited the full words he had to say, and reluctantly put the portable cellular phone (Big Brother Cellphone) next to him and let him ring alone.
As the screen turns, the camera makes a close-up of Greenwood's finger and the book below.
In the book, Lester called the props crew to find Fran O'Brien's "Reservoir" and John Updike's "Centaurs", both of which hint at the protagonist Greenwood's mental confusion and self-escape.
Because of the limitations of his time, Leicester used computers and communication platforms that were only available in this era.

Didi!
The computer sounded a message, and Greenwood hurriedly sat down in front of the computer, opened FidoNet, and checked the information about Ellie, the girl he had been dating on FidoNet for six months.
The two chatted with each other on FidoNet, and when the topic ended with good night, Greenwood took a pen to set things up, and the shot ended.
"Okay, next shot. ”
After filming this segment, Lester immediately asked the crew to send a message to Ellie, a filming girl, saying that she had come to London for the scene.
Lester deliberately changed the welcome to call the broadband company in the film to welcome to call Flying Bird Film and Television, and integrated topics such as finding salary bills into the film, which makes people look at it without a sense of disobedience.
After filming the scenes in the house, Lester took the crew to take the surrounding scenery of the subway at night and during the day, and began to shoot the scenes in the subway.
Lester originally wanted to shoot in the newly built suspension train carriage of the subway, but was told that there were many problems with the suspension train, so for everyone's safety, the shooting was put on the electric bullet train subway.

Greenwood sat in her seat, her eyes observing the girl doing charity work, the girl reading the book with a book in her hand, and the book she was reading was J. J. In D. Salinger's novella "The Biography of Seymour," Greenwood mutters to himself: "The 1225th time, philanthropic worker, very funny, but quiet in a large crowd, dreaming of escaping from this boring place, settling somewhere, and ending this malicious place in the place of light." ”
"Well, I'm going to treat you to a big dinner tonight. ”
After filming this section, it was already dark and his stomach was a little hungry, Lester said to the crew;
"It was a nice dinner. Hearing the boss's treat, everyone cheered, and Lance Kede shouted to the crew: Boss treat, everyone has a good meal for her tonight.
Ha ha... A group of people laughed, and after a few days of running-in, everyone found that Lester was a good-tempered boss and director, friendly to the crew, and careful to teach the staff who did something wrong, and sometimes moved things with the staff, so that everyone had awe and respect for the young boss in their hearts, and regarded Lester as a person of the same age as them.
Lester took the crew to a nearby hotel and walked into the private room.
A group of people took their seats, and the waiter came over with the menu.
Putting the menu in front of everyone, the waiter took out a pen and paper and asked the crowd, "Sir, ladies, this is the menu, what do you need to eat?" ”
Everyone put the menu in front of Lester and looked at him, hoping that he would order first.
Lester raised his eyebrows, and when he saw everyone looking at him, his eyes revealed that he was ordering food, so he could only pick up the menu and look at it, and said under the gaze of the waiter: "Give me a fish cutlet and grilled steak, and another lamb soup, thank you!"
The waiter wrote down Rice's special dishes on a piece of paper, and immediately began to record the dishes ordered by the crew.
After a few minutes, the dishes ordered by everyone were put on the table, and a group of people started eating, and after drinking and eating, they paid, and the crew left the hotel and returned to their rented house to rest.
…
On the second day, a group of people finished filming Robert Jr.'s daytime scene, and all that was left in the script was a man and a woman who quarreled at night because of the main character Greenwood, and Ellie, a girl who had been dating him for six months.
At night, the crew went to the street with seats to shoot, and with the help of the local police, a small area was cordoned off.
Begin!
Robert Jr. sat on the chair and began to enter the role, next to a group girl found by the crew, Lester will make a cameo appearance in the boy, and the camera Lester is relieved to hand over to Lance Cod to take the camera.
In the footage.
Greenwood sat on a stool looking at his phone, and the girl sitting with him waited for her boyfriend.
Lester, who was a cameo boy, walked over, walked around the roadside lamp, looked at the girl and said: I just can't trust you,
The girl said incredulously, "You can't trust me,"
I just can't believe it,, the boy swears,
"Why can't you believe it," the girl asked persistently, trying to figure out why.
"What are you like," the boy said in a hurried tone, and the two quarreled.
Seeing this, Greenwood got up to persuade, Lester turned to Robert Jr. with sharp eyes, and Robert Jr. was a little frightened in his heart, considering that he was still filming, he played Greenwood with his face unrevealed, and responded with some stammering.
"Okay, next scene. ”
Lance Cord exchanged opinions with the assistant director, there was nothing wrong with Lester's performance and Robert Jr.'s perfect performance, and the group girls expressed themselves well, shouting at the Leicester trio;
Hearing that this scene had passed, little Robert said in a surprised tone of admiration to Lester: "Lester, you acted so well, oh, I was scared by your sharp eyes." ”
"Playing against you, of course, you have to act well. ”
Complimented by Robert Jr., Lester said proudly;
Then prepare for the last one!
Seeing that the crew had set up the scene for the last scene, Lester saw Robert Jr. go to prepare, and he stood in front of the host again.
Begin!
In the footage!
The girl Ellie stood on the side of the road, her eyes rolling around, expecting to see the person he was waiting for, and when Greenwood came to the place where they met, he saw the girl Ellie's eyes looking around for him.
A gaze kept looking at her, and the girl Ellie looked at Greenwood in confusion, her eyes rolled, and suddenly her eyes lit up, revealing a subtle smile, and her hands gestured.
Greenwood slowly smiled and nodded as the girl watched, and the two looked at each other with a smile.
"Okay, pass, "Stuttering" is finished. ”
After filming the last scene, Lester announced the completion of the film;
A group of people began to pack their things, got their things and returned to their places to rest, booked plane tickets on the second day, and flew back to the United States, back to Flying Bird Film and Television.
