"Back to the Future" selected good actors, and the crew used the Leicester team to shoot with Robert Zemeckis.

Before the start of filming, in order to make "Back to the Future" popular, Lester and Universal Pictures formulated a publicity plan, and at first Universal Pictures' publicity plan was completely incomplete, and Robert Zemeckis was quite dissatisfied and was denied by Lester.

The two worked together to develop a promotional plan, and together they focused on promoting the first sci-fi time-travel film in history, with Lesterore and Michael J Fox joining.

One is popular because of the "Birth of a Family" series of TVs, and the other is the hottest author and actor at the moment, the popularity of the two can bring fan effect to "Return to the Future", increase popularity, and at the same time, sci-fi travel can attract attention.

Universal Pictures put out the publicity, and Lester received interviews from many reporters, but he refused, and asked Dimes to help him deal with it, he needed to observe the role he was going to play and how to shape it.

In order to play the role of George McFly well, Lester specially asked his acting teacher to teach him about the professional aspects of acting, and sometimes asked Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale about their opinions on the role of George McFly.

The character of George McFly is in the script

The weird and abnormal character, after more than 20 days of trying to shape, Lester finally completed how to express the character's character.

The crew was preparing for four days and decided to start filming at Universal Studios, and the filming of the entire film was filmed in Los Angeles, California and other places.

Dressing room.

"Okay, makeup artist, the crew is waiting for you to put on makeup and start shooting. ”

Robert Zemeckis couldn't wait to urge the makeup artist.

Putting on makeup for the actors took up most of the time.

Michael M. J. Fox was already dressed up and sat outside on a stool, holding the script and watching.

Only Lester and Leigh Thompson are still putting on makeup, and the roles they play need to be done by makeup artists to fit the roles in the script.

"Let the makeup artist give them proper makeup, don't worry, Zemeckis. ”

Looking at the two in the mirror and approaching the appearance of the characters, Spielberg, as a producer, comforted Robert Zemeckis.

In addition to Spielberg, Lester and Bob Gale, who are producers, and Kathleen Kennedy, a gold producer sent by Universal Pictures, the four of them supervised the filming and operation of the film.

"I'll go and see if the crew's props are ready. ”

Katherine Kennedy chatted with Spielberg about the shooting, then turned and walked out of the dressing room to look at the busy crew.

Lester's makeup was quickly finished, and Leigh Thompson's 47-year-old character makeup lasted 3 hours to complete.

Several people made up well, and Robert Zemeckis took everyone to the shooting.

Lester doesn't have many scenes, playing the role of the protagonist Marty's former father, basically Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. J. Fox has the most scenes.

"Little Leicester did a really good job. Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis watched Lester on the show and chatted with each other.

On the field, Leicester performed a timid and shy personality through his body and facial expressions, no worse than Michael J. Fox.

"Okay, over. ”

After filming Lester's simple scenes during the day, Robert Zemeckis began to shoot the scenes of the main characters Marty and the Doctor.

…

At night, a spacious part of Universal Studios, isolated from Universal Pictures.

The crew put the props they needed in a spacious area, which was to shoot Michael Brown. J. Fox and Stouffer Lloyd's non-physical performance, dodging the impact of the time machine.

Before the crew filmed, they encountered some difficulties, for the props of the time machine, the crew used the DMC-12 sports sports car produced in the 81 model, but found that the energy converter mentioned in the script was missing.

"It can be converted from a coffee bean grinder. ”

Lester proposed the Way;

The crew's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly went down to modify it, and they didn't start filming until it was finished at nine o'clock.

Without Lester's role, as a producer, Lester sat between Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis, watching the shocking performance of the old man Stover Lloyd, who portrayed a scientist.

Lester carefully observed the performance of Old Man Stouffer, which would be of great help to him in the future.

"Stop, remake. ”

The three of them watched the performance of the two in the field, and Robert Zemeckis frowned and shouted at the two to stop.

In the confusion of the two, Robert Zemeckis pointed to Michael J. J. Fox said, "Your performance is wrong, and you can't be influenced by Stouffer Lloyd's performance," said J. Fox. Directed by J. Fox.

"Okay, let's shoot. ”

Michael S. J. Fox readjusts and filming continues.

Shooting.

The Doctor holds the remote control that controls the time machine, and in Marty's disbelief, he turns on the time shuttle, and the car disappears in front of their eyes.

The experiment was successful, and the doctor excitedly shared it with Marty, and after a while, the doctor suddenly pulled Marty, who was still in ignorance, to dodge, and the time machine slid past them and stopped in front of them.

Marty realized that he didn't have enough brains today, and he was in a trance until the criminals were driving their cars and shooting at them with guns, and he came to his senses and dodged the bullets.

Seeing the doctor killed by criminals, Marty was forced to sit in a time machine and disappear into this world in order to be safe.

Okay, over!

Robert Zemeckis shouted at the two, then looked at the crew and said, "Prepare for the next one." ”

The performance without physical objects is the most difficult place to shoot, once you use too much force, it will ruin the whole film. J. Fox breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly a bottle of mineral water came towards him, Fox subconsciously caught it, looked over, and saw Lester holding a bottle of mineral water and handing it to Old Man Stouffer.

"Fox, old man Stouffer, you two are doing a great job. ”

Lester picked up a bottle of water and drank it into his stomach, and said appreciatively to the two of them;

"No, you're doing a good job too. ”

Fawkes faced Lester and hurriedly said politely;

Although Lester is 8 years younger than him, Fox can't help but be a little reserved about Lester.

Old man Storfo drank mineral water, and when he heard the words of the two, he said heartily: "Little Lester, don't be modest, you are also very good." ”

"No, no, no, it's still not as good as Old Man Storfher. ”

Lester's shy road;

Old man Stoffer put down the mineral water in his hand, and watched that the crew was still preparing, so he talked to Lester, and Fox listened to the two chatting next to him, interjecting from time to time.

The props team brought up the new props, and the three chatting people could only stop talking and start a new round of shooting.

Filming lasted until 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, when the day's shooting ended, and as soon as he got to bed, Lester fell asleep.
