Chapter 192 Record hopeless, secret plan
Just when Spielberg pulled Caron and got together with Hanks who had heard the news, he didn't know that Roland, who they had been beeping softly, was talking to soone he hadn't seen in a year. Xiao Lizi huddled together shoulder to shoulder.
At the sa ti as they clinked glasses, the crisp sound evoked a smile. Looking at the handso figure, Roland smacked his lips and said, "Wow! Aren't you Peter Parker's classmate? It seems to be called Harry? Oh! My I think you are much more handso than Peter Parker!"
Hearing these words, a bright smile appeared on Xiao Lizi's face, but in the next second, his brows were tightly furrowed, the iconic forehead lines appeared on his forehead, he put his left hand in his pocket, and shook his head repeatedly: "Oh, sir, I know I'm handso, but you must not say this today, if Roland Allen hears it, I think the role of Harry Osborn will be far away from ."
"Really? Could it be that Roland Allen is still a crew bully?" Roland's face showed surprise.
"Yeah! He's like Spike in "Tom and Jerry"!" Xiao Li nodded vigorously.
"Shit, are you calling a dog?" Upon hearing this, Roland imdiately stopped pretending and stared at the other party with staring eyes.
"No, No, I praise you as the most loyal friend of mankind." Xiao Lizi pretended to be afraid, but still added a sentence stiffly.
"Fuck, I'll kill you..." Roland raised his fist and wanted to hit him.
Xiao Lizi put her head in her hands and begged for rcy, "Don't hit in the face."
"Pfft..." Kate burst out laughing when she saw the pretentious and exaggerated performance of the two.
The two who heard the noise did not hold back, and the smiles that were hard to hide appeared instantly. At the sa ti, the two embraced with open arms, and greeted each other without stopping their mouths.
"Hi, Roland, congratulations on your movie being a hit."
"Thank you, but I have to congratulate you, you are more handso than Roland Allen!"
Since "Spider-Man" was released, Xiao Lizi, a supporting actor who has been mixed up in feature films, beca popular instantly.
With her eye-catching appearance, she has beco the favorite of many young ladies.
If IMDb’s communication section is a paradise for many movie fans to celebrate, then now, the discussion area where they can speak freely is basically occupied by two people. One is that it exploded when it debuted, and it seems that it has not yet reached its peak. Roland, and the other one is the earth-shatteringly handso little Li who was just discovered by the public.
The psychological halo effect is real.
And with the blessing of the "grain amplifier" of comrcial films, Xiao Lizi's current popularity is only a little bit worse than Roland's.
Cough...um...it's almost fingertip universe, right?
Although Xiao Lizi's "Titanic" was taken by Roland, the ti when he beca popular was two years earlier because of Roland, the butterfly. Even though the popularity is definitely not comparable to "Titanic", but, Now he doesn't have to be afraid that Shengshi iyan will make him breathless, because Roland took the initiative to carry it...
Since we are all friends, isn’t it a natural thing to say, “Share the blessings and share the troubles with ”?
Xiao Lizi cares about acting skills, and Roland alone has to bear the pain that fascinates thousands of girls.
'Eh! How can I be so noble? '
After a few short chats, Roland introduced Kate to Xiao Li.
Looking at the figure who t by chance, who touched each other imdiately, the feeling of the most familiar stranger made Roland shake his head slightly.
Trying to get rid of the co-production scenes in his mory, when he asked about the other party's current situation, Roland heard an unexpected news.
"After Roo and Juliet, Robert advised not to take the project."
"He believes that "Spider-Man" will definitely be a big hit, and I can also enjoy the bonus of high exposure."
"Sure enough, after "Spider-Man" broke the record of "Jurassic Park", many film companies found ."
"Since I already have a comrcial series, after picking and choosing, I chose a project that can compete in the Olympics."
"Do you know Paul Anderson? His movie, called "Boogie Nights," tells the story of a seventeen-year-old boy."
God!
When Roland heard the nas Paul Anderson and "Boogie Nights", surprise flashed in his eyes.
Paul Anderson How could he not know?
Tom Cruise's "Magnolia", Daniel Lewis' "There Will Be Blood", "Phantom Thread", Joaquin Phoenix's "Inherent Evil"...all of these were shot by him.
As for "Boogie Nights", of course he also knows about it.
Who made the movie's leading actor, Mark Wahlberg, reveal his big, big, big baby in the film?
Yes, this is a movie similar to "Legend of the Fallen Street", about the most glorious decade of **** in Arica.
The most important function, of course, is to win prizes!
If Roland rembered correctly, Xiao Li in his previous life also liked this project very much. Unfortunately, the filming schedule of this movie overlapped with "Titanic", and he signed a contract with Fox first, so he had to miss it.
However, in this life, without the obstruction of the truck driver, Xiao Li took advantage of the opportunity to take over the feature films he is best at.
The purpose is naturally the sa as his favorite actor Robert De Niro, to show off his acting skills in front of the cara!
Roland really has nothing to say about the butterfly effect caused by himself.
Everyone’s pursuit is different. Xiao Li likes acting, while Roland just likes movies.
Since this is the case, it is a blessing.
...
After chatting for a while, the two separated.
And the topics I continued with other people are actually the sa, all of them are congratulations, congratulations, congratulations...
Facing the enthusiasm of these people, Roland, who held the celebration banquet at his own expense, naturally accepted all the orders, but when he heard the words that expected "Spider-Man" to break the total box office record of "Jurassic Park", Roland said Thank you, but I have so regrets in my heart.
Because he understands that "Spider-Man" can't break the record. In addition to the strong label of fans, the coveted patriotic propaganda film "Independence Day" is also the reason that prevents it from reaching the top.
Unlike "Spider-Man", which sells personal heroism and Roland's own growth experience, "Independence Day" has serious flaws in science, but in the eyes of outsiders, the extrely touching logic is the real selling point , or in other words, it is not the special effects that push this movie to the altar, but the Arican savior spirit contained in it.
As a provocative Hollywood blockbuster, all the plot arrangents are actually based on Arican history.
The president personally flew the plane to the battlefield, which fits perfectly with Washington, who participated in the French and Indian War and the War of Independence.
With the help of the Aricans, the scene where the armies of the world join forces to fight against alien invaders is the Great Aricanism they have been promoting through Hollywood.
Professor Guo Xiui of Nanjing University once said that if you want to understand Western literature without reading the Bible, you are scratching your head.
And movies like this allow you to understand what they are talking about without reading the Bible.
How grand is the picture? Or how cool are the high-tech weapons in the movie?
Of course, there are all these.
But the most fundantal thing is that after watching all this, people will more or less have a concept in their minds—
Arican bull beep!
When this concept appeared, the publicity was already in place.
Because of this, Roland didn't even expect "Spider-Man" to break the billion record.
Because compared with "Independence Day", the concept of "Spider-Man" is obviously a little shallower.
...
As he expected, on July 1st, Fox released the news that the general in Washington watched "Independence Day" in the White House. .
Moreover, the other party also heartily stated that this is a movie that embodies the Arican spirit. The title of the movie perfectly fits the celebration of Independence Day. Not only that, the gorgeous pictures and thrilling plot made his blood boil.
Although there were no spoilers, and they did not take the initiative to call on people to enter the theater to watch the movie, Fox still shalessly put the words "recomnded by the commander-in-chief" on the theater poster.
Under this kind of coquettish operation, the North Arican Theater Alliance also knew and adjusted the film schedule.
First of all, so films that were not popular at all were kicked out of the film schedule by the theaters.
Secondly, movies like "Tornado" and "Mission: Impossible", which have been released for more than a month and almost two months, have directly given a single-digit screening rate. "Spider-Man", the screening rate has also been pulled to 17%, plus so miscellaneous movies, the theaters have vacated 50% of the share, leaving it to "Independence Day".
To be honest, if it weren't for the na "Independence Day" and the the of the main the, Will Smith's current status would not be able to enjoy the A-list screening rate anyway.
But just because markets and people need a shot in the arm after successive disasters, so—
Will Smith, a lucky guy, is in the top position.
Even so, the appeal of "Independence Day" is far from being as exaggerated as "Spider-Man", which moved half of Hollywood to the premiere, but the box office of 51 million in the first weekend is still extrely powerful.
With the high box office of "Independence Day", the North Arican box office of "Spider-Man" is also forcibly braking on the figure of 310 million.
Even with the guarantee of the North Arican Theater Alliance, they will let "Spider-Man" exist in theaters for half a year, but it is impossible to break the box office of "Jurassic" with millions, hundreds of thousands, and tens of thousands of box office every week. The box office record of "Park" was nearly 400 million.
The problem is, a movie takes 310 million a month, which has already driven everyone crazy, okay?
Even if the upward montum of the box office is forcibly stepped on the brakes, people in the circle also understand that what holds Roland forward is not "Independence Day" at all, but the main the that no one can resist!
But even with the blessing of the main the, the fastest record breaking 100 million is still Roland's!
This is a really sad story.
Finally discovered Roland's weakness, but this weakness cannot be exploited at all!
╮(╯▽╰)╭
The narrowing of the box office in North Arica actually ans the start of overseas distribution.
In this era when Hollywood blockbusters cannot be released simultaneously globally, the box office performance in North Arica is actually the most powerful slogan for overseas publicity. With a terrifying online rate, the figure of Peter Parker also directly swam across the Atlantic Ocean, appearing in every corner of the world.
...
At the sa ti that "Spider-Man" was being fild all over the world, Spielberg, who had whispered at the celebration banquet before, got together with Hanks, and the two nested in the sea-view villa on Malibu Beach, looking Sea, while enjoying the oncoming sea breeze, a hardcover docunt lay quietly on the hand table between the two of them.
It reads—《SavingPrivateRyan》.
"Roland's state makes a little worried. I thought he wouldn't be so thoroughly imrsed."
Holding his head in his hands, Spielberg, lying on the beach chair, took a deep breath.
He has read the script of "Titanic". In his opinion, this kind of movie can be directly interpreted in the love stage between n and won, and there is no need for half a year of hard work.
Of course, it’s a good thing for an actor to show respect for taking the ti to find a role, but to be honest, he really doesn’t think Roland is an actor. Since he’s worth a billion dollars, you have to have the consciousness of being a capital, okay?
In fact, he has already seen that Roland's talent in acting is normal, and it is no problem to push comrcial films, but if he wants to portray a dying person with a terminal illness, or a homosexual, it needs to be discovered. The role of the heart, then hehe.
Fortunately, Roland has never challenged himself, which made him, a teacher, very pleased.
Have self-knowledge!
But now...
Does it need to be so exaggerated for a comrcial romance film?
Daniel-Lewis will not even prepare for half a year to act. You acted in a comrcial romance film, and you have been tired of the heroine for 180 days?
There was so much urea that he couldn't even drink it!
"Uh...Maybe young people are old and want to have a relationship? It's normal...I also liked to date beautiful girls when I was young..." Hanks didn't dare to tell Spielberg about a relationship. , is his first head.
Now that it’s done, let’s let the scapegoat go with the wind, “Besides, when Dustin and Lawrence were filming “Thunderbolt”, didn’t Dustin stay up for a few days because of a scene? It's normal to mix it up..."
"Isn't it a matter of mixing factions now? I'm afraid he won't be able to co out after the filming is over!"
Spielberg turned his head to look at Hanks, all the worried eyes under the round lens appeared.
"When the movie ca out, he was just eighteen years old."
"If the two break up, I worry that he will collapse."
"As you know, Roland didn't like to attend social receptions at all before, but now? Although he has a gentle attitude towards everyone and is extrely generous in all aspects, he is extrely selfish towards his own feelings."
"Since I knew him in 1990, he has only appeared on the screen with a few little guys from the Olsen family. Then, he expressed his love to Scarlett in front of us, as a person who is so stingy Emotional guy, he's so close to Kate now... I'm afraid sothing will happen to him, okay?"
When Spielberg said this, Hanks was not easy to answer.
The old man doesn't believe in love, but he likes children.
To put it bluntly, when he accepted Roland, it might have been because Kevin in "Ho Alone" was too cute. After eting Roland in Hawaii, the calm guy has always been in his sight.
If the ga brought by Mike Mohamy is the stepping stone to open his heart, then it is really acceptable to let him sell the ga copyright of "Jurassic Park" to Sony with the reason of "not cheap Nintendo". last step.
Because since the failure of the ga "Alien E.T." and the appearance of Atari Shock, Roland was the first guy other than George Lucas who dared to tell him that he would do it by catching Nintendo!
Although the words are very willful, he has the capital of willfulness.
Adding that Roland is now spending money on developing gas, even though he doesn't know much about real-ti strategy, he still likes it.
To be honest, he looks forward to the day when the ga company under Roland's na will make a ga that conquers the world.
In order to fulfill the dream he had done but never realized.
And now?
Dog Day Caron!
He has to trick his students into making so romance movie!
“Shall we still talk about Saving Private Ryan?”
Seeing that Spielberg's mood was wrong, Hanks quickly changed the subject abruptly, and grabbed the script on the stage.
"Did you call here today to talk about your filming schedule? I rember you're going to be filming Jurassic Park 2 soon? And then Lockdown? Isn't Saving Private Ryan starting next sumr? shoot?"
"Still want to talk to about candidates? Didn't we agree before? Just give Roland the role of Ryan."
"If you think he doesn't look like a soldier, it's absolutely fine to throw him into the army for half a year."
The project of "Saving Private Ryan" actually started preparations in 1994.
If you have to specify a specific ti, it will be soon after the release of "Forrest Gump".
After seeing the script, Hanks rembered Roland who had been limped by himself before.
It's just that Roland was preparing for "Spider-Man", so he didn't tell him.
Now—
Let’s talk to him after the filming of “Titanic” is finished.
If the two really break up at that ti, then throw him in the barracks and forget everything with training.
Of course, this is the worst possible scenario.
But before Hanks praised his witty idea, Spielberg took a breath when he saw the script.
The next second, he sighed: "It's not about the shooting schedule, nor about the role of Ryan, but..."
"The British Ministry of Defense refused to provide thousands of soldiers as extras as I requested."
That’s right, since we want to shoot the magnificent scene of the Normandy landing, finding a suitable beach has beco the key point.
As for why not choose the old battlefield?
Because it has beco a protected historical site.
In this way, a beach in the UK has beco their target, but the British Ministry of Defense is unwilling to provide well-trained manpower, so-they may face the trouble of changing the site at present.
"Then we have to find another place?" Hanks understood what the other party ant.
However, before he agreed, Spielberg shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to change the location, what I want is..."
"Didn't Kate call Uncle Kenneth? And didn't Kenneth have a good personal relationship with Prince Philip? So...if we can stay in England to film, that would be the best..."
"Because that's our first choice."
Grass hold...
Looking at Spielberg's straight eyes, Hanks felt like ten thousand draft horses galloping past in his heart.
No... You were worried just now that if Kate and Roland broke up after filming, Roland might collapse, but the next second you told , you were wondering if you could use Uncle Kate’s relationship to borrow thousands of dollars from Prince Philip Soldier?
What is your old man thinking?
This really beeped the truck driver!
If this guy hadn't made a romantic movie, then what he said casually at the beginning would not be the situation now!
"Then now..." Hanks didn't want to talk about Spielberg anymore, "Shall I call Roland?"
"Uh...not in a hurry now, wait until Roland finishes filming "Titanic"." Spielberg thought for a while, and finally shook his head tangled, "Let's find an alternative first. If the situation is not right, this matter Don't talk to him..."
"Okay, I get it, if they don't share, then tell him, if they do, then I don't know."
Hanks nodded, "This is also very good, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to him now..."
...
If you call Roland now, will it cause him unnecessary trouble?
certainly! If you call now, Roland will definitely be disturbed by them!
The reason is very simple, because yesterday, he has officially joined the crew of "Titanic".
Early this morning, the roaring machine was already running.
But before they took the first shot, the truck driver was already raising a fist as big as a casserole, trying to beat Roland.
"JesusFuckingChrist! Can you please stay in the break room for ?"
"Jas, can't I just stand here and watch?"
"Of course not! You are in the way standing here!"
"I don't even look at the monitor, why am I in the way?"
"Yes! You really don't look at the monitor, but if you are here, she will have a high probability of laughing!"
Note: ① Xiao Li likes "Boogie Nights" very much. After knowing that the shooting schedule cannot be changed, he introduced Mark Wahlberg to participate in the performance. Yes, Wahlberg was recomnded by him. ② "Independence Day" is endorsed by Clinton. It is said that the prototype of the president in the movie is Nixon who won two battle stars (although he has not been on a frontal battlefield). When Fox promoted the movie back then, it was a big deal. They placed ads in the Super Bowl, which was the first thing they did. As for Will Smith, it is generally believed that he has eaten the main the bonus, but this is not a shaful thing, as long as it can be popular, any ans can be used. ③When Lawrence Oliver and Dustin Hoffman collaborated on "Thunderbolt", Dustin stayed up for a few days to film a scene, and was mocked by Lawrence. Since the forr is expressionist and the latter is experiential, this is more of a genre war. However, when Hoffman got old, he himself said that Oliver was thirty years older than him, so it was normal to ridicule, because after thirty years of accumulation, there is no distinction between experience and performance. ④ "Saving Private Ryan" was really rejected by the British Ministry of Defense, and then Spielberg had no choice but to go to Ireland to shoot, and the Irish military lent him 750 people. And many of them have fild "Braveheart".
