Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 360 Exaggerated filming and the DreamWorks crisis

At the end of 1998 and the beginning of 1999, when discussing the director of the "Harry Potter" series, the old man joked with Roland, saying that the whole series would be the easiest project he had ever worked on since he entered the industry, because he could shoot halfway road.

  At that time, Roland was innocent and cute. He asked 'why' without understanding, and the result he got was:

   "Won't you and Kate get married? Then when you're in England, I can leave you with the job."

   The whimsical answer was taken by Roland as a joke among friends, but unexpectedly, when he was about to return to Los Angeles after the wedding, the old man really pushed the details of the arrangement in front of him.

   Such a situation made Roland dumbfounded.

  Because after he decided to retire, he didn't want to do everything by himself. Not only that, the probability of directing traffic without touching the guide tube for a long time is far greater than the probability of Neymar spraying feces.

   But even so, he came because—

  The little **** in his memory is really really cute!

That's right, even with Roland's intervention, the production team of "Harry Potter" changed from Warner to Warcraft Film and Television, but Daniel Radcliffe who played Harry Potter, Ron Weasley Rupert Grint and Emma Watson who played Hermione Granger remained unchanged, because in the original movie directed by Chris Columbus, the production team was all Jewish gang members.

  The executive producer Duncan Hudson selected by Catherine Kennedy this time is the original assistant director + producer.

   And he himself is actually Paul Schrader's assistant.

Paul Schrader is the queen screenwriter of the Jewish gang. He wrote the script for Sidney Pollack when he debuted, and then wrote "Taxi Driver", "Raging Bull", " Shuttle between Yin and Yang, not only that, but Brian Palmer's "Enchanted Love", Harrison Ford's "Mosquito Coast", and Al Pacino's "Three-dimensional Lies" are all from him.

  So his assistant must bear the Jewish mark on his body.

In addition, the original casting director either worked for Francis Coppola or hugged George Lucas' thigh, and the original VFX props were either ILM employees or Weta Digital makeup. , In this case, if J.K. Rowling dared to use the contract to force Warner to squeeze out Steven Spielberg, the guy who avenged the old man could also sack him in an instant.

It is precisely because most of Hollywood's hot projects are handled by the Jewish gang, so no matter how Roland intervenes, the butterfly wings can't be flapped. The original candidate is their will, but now, the old man just looks at the face of his students, too lazy It's just to care about the dead eighth who will be expelled from the authorship by the fans of "Harry Potter" in the future.

   In this way, when Roland saw the familiar list, he wanted to take a look.

  Yes, just serious appreciation.

   But after reading it...

  He realized that these guys acted pretty well!

  ...

   "Attention, scene 47, act 6, first shot, Action!"

As soon as the field manager's voice fell, Hermione, wearing a Hogwarts school uniform, appeared in the train compartment from a place that the camera could not capture. While holding on to the door frame, she gently swept towards the empty seat After finding nothing, he sighed and turned his head, and asked Ron, who was about to perform magic to Harry, with a defiant look, "Did anyone see a toad?"

   "A boy named Neville lost one."

   "No." Ron frowned and shook his head, shrugging.

In such a situation, Hermione noticed the wand in Ron's hand. When the little girl with long hair and shawl got a negative answer, she didn't continue to look for her target. Instead, she opened her mouth and stared at the other party's wand. He said to himself:

   "Oh, are you doing magic? Come on, let's open our eyes!"

   While speaking, she raised her head and looked down at Ron at a forty-five-degree angle.

  Spontaneous scrutiny means giving people an illusion of pride, as if they look down on each other from the bottom of their hearts.

  Although Ron didn't cast a spell, she seemed to have seen the end of the opponent's failure.

   And that appearance really has a bit of aloofness.

  In this case, Ron clenched his fist with his left hand, cleared his throat, then waved his wand and chanted to cast a spell.

   "Baby yellow, sweet cream and sunshine."

   "Turn this stupid fat mouse yellow."

   It's a pity that when he waved his wand, the unresponsive mouse confirmed Hermione's conjecture, and made Ron look at Harry helplessly, while the friend he just met pursed his lips and gave him a regretful shrug.

  Hermione noticed the small movements of the two of them, and at the same time, it made her laugh, "Are you sure that's really a spell?"

"It doesn't seem to work very well, does it?" Hermione put away her earlier gaze, reversed her tone, and said with a sinister smile, "Of course, I only tried a few simple ones myself, but they all succeeded. .”

At this point, she took off her school uniform, took out her wand from her pocket, walked into the car with a proud face, sat down opposite Harry, stared at Harry, raised her wand, and cast it on her own. "For example..."

   "The glasses are back to normal."

   As soon as the words fell, Harry, who didn't add any stunts, was startled in cooperation.

  Take off his glasses and look at the new (damaged) product (broken) curiously, his face is full of surprises.

   And at the same time as he was feeling, Hermione also recognized his identity without the cover of glasses, and words like endorsement appeared instantly, "Oh! My God, you are Harry Potter!"

   Without giving Harry a chance to respond, the next second, she introduced herself again, "My name is Hermione Granger."

   In the next second, she turned her head to look at Ron, who had just failed to cast a spell, and asked, "Excuse me, are you..."

  While speaking, she seemed to be still turning her head, trying to find a matching picture from her memory.

But unfortunately, it seems that the search failed, but it was more like she believed that the boy in front of her was unknown, so in the process of questioning, her face was once again unshaven, and her two thick eyebrows were like eight. A word of embarrassment was written on his face.

   But no matter how arrogant she was, it didn't make nervous Ron feel uncomfortable.

   While chewing biscuits, Ron also replied: "My name is Ron Weasley."

   "Pleasure." Hermione replied blankly, then looked at Harry as usual, and then suggested condescendingly in a condescending tone: "You two, change into your robes quickly, it's almost here."

   After finishing speaking, he stood up with his head up and walked out of the carriage.

But when she was about to leave, she seemed to be thinking of something unfinished, she didn't let go of the door frame, she paused very artificially, turned to look at Ron, and said, "You know your nose Is there something dirty on it?"

   "Right here."

   As she spoke, she pointed to her nose.

This action caused Ron, who was eating snacks, to wipe the bridge of his nose, and after he wiped it, Hermione turned her head gracefully, her brown hair waving in an elegant arc in the air, like the world's number one princess Your Highness is normal and walks away.

  As Emma Watson disappeared, Steven Spielberg, who was sitting in front of the monitor, also smiled and clapped his hands.

   "Cut! Good!"

   "Great! Great!"

   "You guys did a great job!"

   "Especially Emma, ​​Hermione Granger's insolence is well shown by you!"

  After listening to his words, Emma Watson, who was still hiding in the dark, laughed. When she showed her smile to express her gratitude, Roland, who was sitting next to the old man, also smiled and applauded to cheer them up.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovelEnglish.net

  Yes, if you look at it from a professional perspective, their acting is indeed very twisted.

  A series of labels that could kill an actor's career, such as 'excessive force', 'deliberately contrived', 'improper expression', 'obvious signs of reciting lines', were all plastered on his forehead.

  Compared with them, Huang Jiaozhu, who likes to smile evilly, is really the best actor of Hundred Flowers.

   But they are children!

  For child actors, memorizing a whole line without laughing is already a very good performance.

  After all, in order to ensure the smooth filming of traffic idols, many screenwriters in later generations no longer write more than two lines of lines.

   And in this case, a ten-year-old can play a long shot in one go...

   Isn’t that super god!

   What's more, Hermione's strength and Harry and Ron's weakness are clearly written by J.K. Rowling in the .

  When the three little ones met for the first time, J.K. Rowling described Hermione as conceited, defiant, and with a pair of front teeth.

   Not only that, but Hermione in the is also neurotic and asks Ron to perform magic. After discovering Harry's identity, she introduces herself in an exaggerated tone, and finally orders them to change into school uniforms with a superior attitude.

   It is precisely because of the fit with the original that Emma Watson in front of the camera is acting exaggerated, it can only be—

  Good.

"How about it, I said you can take pictures?" Let the three little guys take a rest, and ordered the staff to adjust the camera position. Ten minutes later, while keeping one, the old man shrugged at Roland: "I taught you before. , the most important thing in making a commercial film is not to rely on acting skills, it’s enough to be able to see the past, but now..."

   "Sixty or seventy points are enough for this kind of PG-rated movie for children."

   Having said that, Roland still didn't want to shoot.

  Feeling the noisy studio, he shook his head and said, "Give me my name."

"Why?"

   "Lazy."

The explanation that hit the soul made the old man stunned on the spot. Looking at Roland's face that didn't seem to be lying, his eyes under the lens were filled with helplessness, "Oh, you are only in your twenties, if you don't find someone who can support you After a lifelong hobby…”

   "Then how will you live in the next few decades?"

   "You can't really get tired of being with Kate every day, can you?"

   "One day you feel fresh, one year you feel okay, but ten years, twenty years, thirty years?"

   "It's always going to be boring."

  That's right, part of the reason why the old man turned the joke into reality was because he thought about his students.

  He feels that Roland is too relaxed now, or in other words, too indulgent.

  Although eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling are not related to Roland, it is not a problem to be idle every day!

   It is true that Roland is indeed rich now.

  But if there is no spiritual pursuit in the case of having a material foundation, wouldn’t it be like walking dead?

   Everyone does not force you to do anything, Roland, but I also hope that you will not destroy yourself.

   To put it bluntly, the old man now looks at Roland with the mentality of an old father.

  Decades ago, he felt that his father took too much care. Decades later, he felt that Roland, who had grown up watching him, took too little care.

As soon as such emotions came out, Roland, who was leaning on the director's chair, turned his head suddenly. When he saw the gray-haired guy looking at him sincerely, he was shaking his legs and smiled, "How do you know that I have no spiritual pursuit?" ?”

   "If you had spiritual pursuits, would you stay at home every day?"

   “What if my spiritual pursuits can be achieved by staying at home?”

   "What are you talking about with me here?!"

   Hearing what Roland said, the old man immediately rolled his eyes.

   Looking at him, he was really angry, and a warm current rose in Roland's heart.

  He raised his elbow and pestered the opponent, saying: "Okay, okay, I really have the spirit to pursue."

   "It's just that I can't talk to you for the time being."

   "Hmph." The old man snorted softly, with a look of arrogance and disbelief all over his face.

  But Roland really didn't lie, because his spiritual pursuit is to swallow up Disney!

  With such a huge spiritual pursuit ahead, what is filming?

It's a pity that this thing really can't be said, so Roland will not be entangled in such trivial matters, but changed the subject, "Steven, you called me to England, it is impossible to give me a psychological Health education class?"

   "If there is nothing else, there is no need for you to drag me here by force."

After saying this, the old man's expression softened. He looked around and found that the surrounding staff were not approaching, so he put away the melancholy and dissatisfaction in his heart, and said, "I can't talk to you about the reorganization of DreamWorks in Los Angeles. matter."

   "Oh!" Roland knew it.

  Get up actively, take the script and drill into the lounge.

   Seeing this, the old man asked the staff to wait for him, and then followed.

   When he entered the room and closed the door, Roland had already poured the water and motioned for him to say.

  The old man was not hypocritical, and said: "Currently there are five major shareholders in DreamWorks, me, Jeffrey, David, Paul and Li Meijing."

   "Among them, Paul and Li Meijing hold nearly 20% of the shares, and the rest will be shared equally among the three of us."

"Now, David wants to withdraw his shares, and Microsoft wants to buy them. In this case, if nearly 25% of his shares are bought by Microsoft, and Paul's shares are added, he can instantly become the company's largest shareholder."

   "If you hold more than 34% of the shares, you have one veto right."

"Although Jeffrey and I hold more than 51% of the shares and can absolutely control the company, you know, in the matter of DreamWorks Animation's separation from the DreamWorks Group, I swallowed him with a technology merger. A lot of benefits, so..."

   "It's hard for me to guarantee that he will stand firmly with me."

   "It is because of this situation that I will bring you to England after your wedding."

   "Because if I go back to Los Angeles, David will definitely let Jeffrey and I sign an agreement to sell the shares with him."

   "His collection company is very short of money now."

   "But if I sign, then Microsoft has the ability to work with Jeffrey to lift me up."

"do you understand?"

   Note: ①It was written before that Daniel Radcliffe was specially selected by the Jewish gang, but in fact, only J.K. Rowling is an outsider in the entire crew. ②The expulsion of the authorship by fans happened in July. The fan website of "Harry Potter" issued a statement announcing that it would draw a line with J.K. Rowling, delete links and photos of J.K. There will be mention of Rowling's other accomplishments outside of creating the wizarding world. The reason is that J.K. Rowling opposed the reform proposal of the "Gender Identity Act" proposed by the British government in 18 years, which proposed to allow people to change their legal gender directly based on their self-awareness without medical proof. In other words, as long as I (biologically male) 'think' I'm a girl, then I can enter the women's bathhouse, women's toilet, etc. Then, he was hammered into a discriminator. Even though he emphasized on Twitter that he was only opposed to the absurd assertion of "relying on self-awareness without medical proof", he was still considered discriminatory by fans. This is equivalent to as long as I am left enough, everyone else is right. ③ Hermione's character design in the book is indeed arrogant at the beginning, and the movie is also made in this way. If you have to say it, it is arrogant. As for the reason... It is a mystery just like J.K. Rowling wanted to write Harry Potter to death in the first place.
