Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 141 Intelligence, children's magical dreams

  Roland is no stranger to plaid kilts.

Zhu Bajie, who became popular because of the phrase "when the eyes are closed and opened, the day passes (↗), and if the eyes are closed, the life passes (↗, that is the copycat version of the Scottish checkered kilt in ten years. Appeared in front of 300 million people.

  It is normal for men to wear skirts in Scotland, but why did Roland think that there are always villains who want to harm me after seeing the skirts? Isn't it because I have seen too much!

  In "Braveheart" written, directed and acted by Mel Gibson, there is such a scene—

  The Scottish rebel army led by Wallace all wore Scottish checkered kilts, and when fighting, they would lift their skirts and mock the British soldiers.

  Although there are historical errors, Wallace's uprising occurred in the 13th century, while the Scottish kilt appeared in the 16th century, but this is only a tampering of history, and does not tamper with the wearing method and use of the Scottish kilt.

  After eating a lot of melons, Roland was naturally very sensitive to this skirt, and now...

"Liqi." Roland pinched the skirt, shook his eyes, and after confirming that the size was the same as his own figure, he raised his hand and touched the back of Elizabeth's head, and asked very carefully: "Are you sure you like it?" This style of clothing?"

   While speaking, Roland also squatted down, his slightly tilted face was full of seriousness.

  The little guy whose eyes were twinkling heard this, his lips pursed immediately, his hands hanging down pinched the hem of the skirt, a pitiful look appeared on his face, "I like..."

   Before she finished speaking, Roland began to scare her, "A child who is lying will have a longer nose just like Pinocchio!"

  Elizabeth's facial features tightened, and she quickly changed her words, "...I like your current outfit..."

Eh! That's right!

  When Roland heard this, a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Then this dress..."

"It's James who wants you to wear it..." Now that the showdown is over, Elizabeth has nothing to keep. "As soon as I entered the hotel, I wanted to sleep, but James knocked on our door and pulled my mother to say here. The clothes are so beautiful, so my mother took us downstairs... I found a shop selling clothes and bought a set for each of us. Yours was chosen by James himself. He said that you would look very good in a red dress. nice…"

   "Then he bought me four iced pineapple cream pies and asked me to send the dress over."

While speaking, Elizabeth lowered her head slightly, as if she knew she was wrong, but her upturned eyes were peeping at Roland's expression, and the movement of her tongue licking her mouth seemed to be telling Roland that the dessert with a strange name It seemed very delicious, and James, who was already lying at the door, rolled his eyes after hearing the words like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

  Haha...solved the case...

   Roland stuffed the skirt into the bag casually, and asked at the same time, "Did he buy it for himself?"

Um?

  Faced with this question, Elizabeth was stunned for a few seconds, her chubby cheeks swelled up like a frog, "Uh... James doesn't seem to have bought it for himself..."

  Little Loli thought for a while, then bit her lip with her white teeth, and shook her head.

"boom!"

  The next second, a dull sound exploded in the ears of the two.

  Hearing the news, Roland even showed an amiable smile. After rubbing the honest little loli's head twice, he found the assistant with the bag and asked him to go to the hotel lobby to get a spare room card.

  When Roland swiped open the door of the room where James lived, the anti-theft chain couldn't stop him at all. When he got into the room, he saw the unidentified creature on the bed like a mountain bag, which made the corners of his mouth curl up, "James."

   "Huh?" There was a dull response from the futon.

   "Don't you want to explain?" Roland shook the bag in his hand.

"Explain...explain what?" As the hill trembled, a head with a bird's nest grew out of the bedding like a bean sprout. The sleepy eyes and blank face seemed to prove to Roland that I don't know anything, "cough cough...", he coughed twice, then blew his nose and said, "I seem to have a cold, I feel uncomfortable, and I fell asleep as soon as I entered the hotel, what do you need to do?" Me? If it's dinner, I don't think I'll have the strength to go out and eat it..."

   "Oh... Then do you still have a fever?" Roland showed concern.

   "Fever? Yes, yes! I feel very hot now..."

  James was taken aback for a moment, and then followed Roland's words to find a new excuse.

   "Oh, it's okay, you just put on this suit."

Roland walked to the bed very kindly, poured all the clothes that James had bought in front of the other party, and said in a beating tone that I am lying, but you dare not deny: "According to the Scots Putting on a skirt in this way can not only cover the vital parts, but also achieve physical cooling! Then you go out to eat with us, and the wind blows to the bottom of the skirt, that kind of comfort, guaranteed to dispel the heat in your heart..."

  What?

  Going out in a skirt and blowing the wind can achieve physical cooling!

Feeling Roland's right hand on his shoulder, James, who wanted to pretend to be sick, suddenly showed a constipated expression that I don't read much, don't lie to me, but no matter how he resisted, Roland still smiled and tucked the skirt into the opponent's hands.

   "Roland...forget it..." James wanted to reconcile.

   "I have no choice but to hire you another biology teacher..." Roland said devilish words with a smile.

   "Okay, okay, I wear it, I wear it, can I wear it?" James shuddered, and quickly grabbed the skirt.

   "Remember to respect the customs of the Scots!" Roland emphasized with great satisfaction.

  Hearing these words, James' complexion turned dark.

  Originally...

After finally getting a chance to have fun, James didn't know his last name after playing for a few days. After entering the Scottish area, seeing the clothes of the local residents, and understanding the reason, he thought of cheating. Roland gave me a hand - my special class is in class during the day, and tutors come to make up lessons at night. There are only a handful of hours to play 24 hours a day. The point is, the teachers of science and engineering are all hired by Roland. !

   As for David's opinion?

  When the eldest daughter and the second daughter got into Hollywood, the younger daughter was a follower, she went wherever the older sister went, and Roland hugged his thigh like a koala when he appeared, James was obviously the heir to the family property.

   And in this way...

  Isn't it a very reasonable thing to study hard?

  Roland joined the class, his father acquiesced, and his mother was taking care of the three younger sisters. With this, James really picked it up.

   There is no problem with his vision of deceiving Roland, but who made him find the wrong person?

  Let Elizabeth deliver it, it would be better for him to do it himself!

   Four iced pineapple cream pies just want to bribe Elizabeth?

  Aren't you dreaming!

   You know, as a guy who can kill a lot of directors with storyboard sketches, when Roland painted a portrait of Elizabeth, it was so lifelike! Isn't it whimsical to use food to seduce a guy who is swiping Rolanka for everything he buys!

   That's right, Roland gave his card to Elizabeth, after all, this thing is more real than a heart-shaped stone!

   And Elizabeth doesn’t actually use it very much. If there is something she wants but her mother won’t buy, she will still call.

   As for Roland himself?

  Sorry, he swiped the secondary card given by David.

  ╮(╯▽╰)╭

  No way, the life of the rich is so boring.

  So, under Roland's threat of 'adding a tutor', James went to dinner that night in a kilt. David frowned at his swaying pace for fear of losing his clothes.

   "James."

   "Dad?"

   "Your stomach hurts?"

"no no…"

"and you…"

   "Dad, I, I, I just fell in the shower and pulled myself in the groin..."

  God **** up to the groin!

  Roland, who had just folded the napkin and spread it on his lap, almost burst out laughing!

   This is really not a family that does not enter a house!

   Even the excuses are exactly the same!

  ...

  The Scottish checkered kilt really didn't have much effect on Roland; if the little loli wanted to see him wear it, then he would just put it on, but who made that bad guy like James want to join in the fun?

   After dinner, Roland, who wanted to leave a deep memory on James, directly proposed to watch the night scene.

David and Ganetti said it didn't matter, and the three little lolis also took the camera with great interest. Only James had a stern face, the look of being extremely helpless when he wanted to resist, and Dayao who was forcibly dragged to the nightclub. Embarrassment deserves a fight.

  But Roland ignored him, because Edinburgh under the night is really beautiful.

  The sky is as gray as crying, walking on the street, the breeze is more serene.

  The moon is in the misty clouds, with a hazy light white halo.

The 61-meter-high Scott Memorial Tower is very conspicuous in the brightly lit night scene, while the spiers of the National Gallery of Scotland and the yellowed lights are entangled with each other. A series of light yellow flowers appeared.

   As for Edinburgh Castle?

This castle built on the top of extinct volcano granite is more than 1,500 years old, with three cliffs and one slope, standing alone in a corner of the city; just pass through the hanging gate built 450 years ago, from Starting from the statue of King Robert Bruce, walk up the long ladder leading to the top of the rock, and you can experience the daily life of the night watchmen in the North in "Game of Thrones".

   It is also the place where Milk Tea Lun and his wife took wedding photos.

However, due to the haunted legends of Edinburgh Castle, there are ghosts of headless drummers wandering in it since 1650, and the ghosts of lonely bagpipers who played bagpipes at the bottom of the castle all the year round, as well as the undead ghosts of prisoners imprisoned in the Seven Years War. Souls that can rest in peace, and what ghost dogs that appear in the foggy cemetery at night, so...

   Roland, who traveled through rebirth, was a little too timid to go over.

   Standing on the Royal Mile road and looking far away.

  The castle on the cliff stands tall, because the lights are slanted at 45 degrees from bottom to top, so...

  In the castle at night, the roof will merge with the sky.

   If you have to describe it, it would be like—

   "James, do you think that looks like Batman's castle in the comics?"

  Everyone: "..."

What Roland said was a big disappointment. Ben was still acting as a tour guide there, introducing various buildings. Cole-Nederham suddenly had black lines on his head, and other people who felt that the surrounding scenery had an artistic atmosphere also curled their lips. Look at Roland.

  That look almost made Roland shut up.

   "I'm just making an analogy." Roland shrugged, "Go ahead..."

No way, although Roland came to Edinburgh for the first time, but because he read countless films, he looked like he was watching a movie, such as Anne Hathaway's "One Day", Tom Hanks' "Darkness". - The Finch Code, Cloud Atlas, Ewan McGregor's Trainspotting, Simon Pegg's Booker and Hale, Mel Gibson's Braveheart, Curly's Detective A bunch of film and television dramas such as "Sherlock" were filmed here.

   Of course, the most influential one is naturally "Harry Potter".

  You know, for the first time in the filming of "Harry Potter", the British political parties stood together and changed the law for them! —Because of the UK's "Child Labor Act", children under the age of thirteen can only work seven hours a day and have to attend three hours of classes a day. The original trio was only eleven years old. It is absolutely impossible to shoot like this for a year If the filming is not completed, they will grow up, which does not conform to the original work, so the desk in the Prime Minister's office was blown up, and within a few months, in order to allow the film to be filmed in the UK, the parliament directly passed the amendment proposal , the new law not only extends the shooting time from seven hours to nine hours, but also the children who are filming can do their homework every four weeks.

   They could argue for seven years on Brexit, but they only had one meeting on the Child Labor Act.

   This influence is really…

Eh?

etc!

  Stop!

   It's worth asking for capital! !

   Roland, who was touched by the scene, was shocked!

   "Harry Potter"?

   Edinburgh, Scotland?

  1994?

   Grab the grass!

   Isn’t this special coincidence?

   As a guy who had seen the founding director of "Harry Potter" Chris Columbus in the early 1990s, Roland is familiar with the history of the entire series!

   Not only because he saw the movie, but because—

   Well, Roland confessed that he was a victim of piracy.

Before "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" appeared, he saw a copy of "Harry Potter and Cotton Candy" in a bookstore, and then the book seller said to him in magical words: "This is the genuine one! It was investigated, so we changed the cover!"

   "There are not many copies in total, if you want a hundred, I will sell you!"

  At that time, Roland beeped excitedly, and decisively took out the money he was going to play "Fantasy Westward Journey" for the pig farm, and bought the book home.

   As a result, I tore it open and saw, hey, why is this protagonist called Brother Wolf?

  What?

   Isn't this special "The Record of the Others"?

  I have read it specially!

  That's right, back then Roland was able to buy books with money from playing games, the point is that he was cheated too much!

  In this case, do you think he can't be impressed?

Later, because he couldn't get along in the circle, when he changed to a video, he knew that "Sorcerer's Stone" had already started to contribute in early 1994. Not only that, he also knew that the copyright of "Harry Potter" , has not been in Warner's hands!

  Warner has always been a proxy!

In 1997, a guy named David Heyman registered a film company named Shengri in London, and he had already obtained the film adaptation rights of "Harry Potter" in 1999. As for who is he?

  He is a member of the Jewish Gang.

  Graduated in 1983, studied filming with David Lean through his parents in 1984, got a job as a creative supervisor at Warner in 1986, and then became the vice chairman of MGM-United Artists.

  His father John Heyman is Jewish and has a very close relationship with Elizabeth Taylor, while his mother Norma Heyman is a traditional British and has a very good relationship with Anthony Hopkins.

Of course, his interpersonal relationship is not the point. The point is the "Harry Potter" series of movies, which are resources in the Jewish gang. When the project was first established, the documents were placed in Steven Spielberg's On the desk, but because he had to let Hayley Osment play Harry Potter, he was strongly opposed by JK Rowling, so the old man withdrew from the project.

  The so-called 50-person director audition is just an excuse for the crew to promote it.

  After Spielberg withdrew, Chris Columbus spent two weeks writing the script and then got the directorship.

   And JK-Rowling also let go, and the scope of casting has changed from the British Isle to the British.

  No way, you can't let go, you have already rejected a guy from the Jewish gang, do you still want to reject the second one?

  You are such a magical movie, you can hold it at home without special effects!

   It was precisely because he knew these things that Roland didn't take "Harry Potter" seriously.

One is that he knows that JK Rowling is a stubborn temper, even if he gets it first, he can't get Elizabeth to play the little beaver; the other is that the project was originally placed in the office of DreamWorks, and he only needs to wait for the documents to arrive again. Isn't it over if the old man casts it? If you don’t shoot, you invest in the head office, right? For the sake of the apprentice being the director?

  As long as the IP can stay in DreamWorks, the bad films will continue to rot.

  This approach can not only bring huge profits to yourself, but also hit your peers!

  The point is to make Disney drool enviously, how wonderful!

   And now...

   Roland's eyes flickered.

  Since it’s here, why don’t you go and have a look?

   Publishing, he has the money to do it, movies, he has the money to shoot, as for distribution...

  Sony is already giving it away for free!

   "Roland?" A sweet and greasy call came from the front.

   Roland, who had been standing there thinking for a long time, came back to his senses in an instant.

  Feeling the puzzled look, he quickly smiled and said, "Oh...I remembered something..."

   "What did you think of again? You don't know Night Monkey?" James, who was holding his thigh, complained.

"No, no, no..." Roland shook his head repeatedly, and at the same time he stepped forward, he also looked at Cole Needham, "Before I came to England, James Cameron recommended me a Scottish elephant coffee He said the coffee was good there..."

   "Do you know where?"

   That's right! If you don't know how to explain your abnormality, then blame it!

   Anyway, the truck driver is used to being blamed, and he won't mind! (Cameron: Not your mother's head!)

   "Elephant Cafe? I really don't know..."

  Cole Needleham thought for a few seconds, then shook his head, "But I can ask you..."

   "Okay, I'll wait for your good news..." Roland made an OK gesture.

  However, before Cole Needham went to the surrounding shops to inquire, he was full of curiosity and asked again: "You just said James Cameron? How did he know about this coffee shop?"

"Oh! This? He has always wanted to make a movie about the Titanic. Isn't this a cruise ship of the British White Star Company! And it sailed from the UK to New York, so he came to the UK to find information about the year! "Roland said nothing.

  Cameron is so familiar with him, he can find a reason casually! (Cameron: Then I really have to thank you very much!)

   "So that's it! That's great..."

  Cole Needham likes to hear such short stories. After learning the whole story, he smiled and went into a nearby shop.

   After everyone followed him around twice and asked about seven or eight shops, Roland finally saw the red cafe.

  Standing at the door and looking around, there are only four people in the cold shop—except for the boss behind the bar, there are two middle-aged women sitting at the coffee table, and the baby carriage parked next to them.

   Note: ① It is true to amend the "Child Labor Law" for "Harry Potter", which Emma Watson wrote in her autobiography. ② It is true that Spielberg was rejected by Rowling. Hayley Osment is a good seed. He first filmed "Forrest Gump", and then "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", playing Harry Potter It can fly, and after the filming of the series, the Jewish gang also has actors, but Rowling insists on British children, so Spielberg took Hayley to film "Artificial Intelligence". ③Chris Columbus admitted in the documentary that as soon as Spielberg quit, he immediately took over and wrote the script in two weeks, which caused the bugs in the first two films to fly everywhere. Fifty directors are competing, how can others intervene in the Jewish gang's own project? ④ Rowling's copyright is indeed in Shengri Films and Warner Bros., and the meaning of Shengri Pictures' existence is actually similar to that of Spielberg's Amblin. They don't pay for it themselves, but take the company's tax cuts. David Heyman is a member of the Jewish gang, but he is not Jewish because his mother has no Jewish blood, his father, and his grandparents are. And he was able to get up because of his father. ⑤ At the end of 1993, Rowling was already at her sister's house in Edinburgh. According to her sister, at the beginning of November 1993, Rowling and her husband quarreled and wanted to divorce. Seeing that her sister was in a bad mood, she listened to As her sister told stories, she encouraged her sister to write s. Before the divorce, the outline had already been written, and Rowling's divorce was on August 10, 1994, so it was proposed in the article that she had already started writing. As for when to write the first chapter Yes, I admit I didn't find out.
