Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 112 released

   In his previous life, Roland watched a documentary.

  When Guoshi was filming "The Golden Armor in the City", there was an opening ceremony preparation team working at the same time beside the crew.

Almost every few shots, someone would come to communicate with the National Teacher about the content of the opening ceremony. The seamless switching and the irrelevant inspiration collision really made Roland feel admirable. Although the movie could not satisfy the audience, But while contributing the prototype of the prince Jarvan IV, the whole movie also tells people that no matter how big or small, there will always be crowds.

   It was because of watching that documentary that Roland was curious about Spielberg's working status from the very beginning.

   "Jurassic Park" and "Schindler's List", which were released in the same year.

   Before such a tight schedule, how can the old man say, he will work overtime and start work in two ways, right?

  However, from the beginning of filming in Hawaii to the exposure of the relationship afterwards, Roland never saw the other party mention this matter in the crew.

When he thought that this guy was really stable and calm, when Roland asked the other party that day, "Do you like me because of the same hobbies", he realized that it wasn't that the old man didn't care, but that no one took the initiative. Jump out and help him take the blame.

   That's right, since Roland raised the guide tube and filmed three scenes, the old man threw the rest of the stop-motion scenes to him.

  During filming, this guy leaned aside, pretending to be an overseer there, taking everyone in the group to be Starcraft players.

  If it weren't for the brightly written "Schindler\'s List" on the cover of the data.

  Roland really thought that this guy was watching himself filming!

  If it was changed to another crew, this kind of behavior of doing private work aboveboard would have been stopped by the director of production stationed by the film company long ago, but no matter which company or project, no one dared to tell the old man what to do.

   In this way, the old man and Roland are both happy:

  The former only needs to taste the finished product after each shooting, while the latter only needs to follow the old man's teaching ideas.

   It’s okay even if you occasionally add some of your own thoughts, even if it’s wrong, there’s still an old driver watching on the scene!

   No matter how biased it is, it is impossible to fly at low altitude and the car crashes!

  ...

  From acting in front of the camera to layout behind the camera, Roland didn't feel any psychological pressure at all.

   There is no separation between director and watch. When you know what scene you need, are you still afraid that you won't be able to perform it?

What's more, he is not digging the heart of the characters now, complicating a simple character, and has to pursue the duality of each character-to be honest, the black is black and white is white in the old man's movie. It is suitable for Roland to practice. He will not be like some stubborn directors who have to pursue the good in the evil of human nature, or dig out the evil in the good of human nature.

  Of course, the key to success is also related to the fact that there are no drama bullies in the group.

  If there is a Li Baotian who washes the feet of an actress for seven hours, he will take care of everything.

  Li Youbing, in front of the media, directly bombarded the director for being unqualified.

  Jiang Mosquito doesn’t care who you are, I can **** you off.

   Then Roland stopped taking pictures.

   But having said that, there is an old man on the scene, who else dares to say No?

   Even the little Li, who became so popular with "The Big Boat" in the future and had to let the film company send a special plane to bring his friends from America to Thailand for a party, would not dare to be presumptuous in front of the old man!

   Not to mention, the group is all their own people, so I can save face and accompany you to take more photos without losing a piece of meat.

   And Roland is not the kind of devil who makes people watch "East and West" during the day and makes people film "Evil and West Poison" at night.

   Occasional bursts of inspiration will take up to half an hour.

  In addition, on weekdays, I often pay out of my own pocket and ask the assistant to buy snacks for everyone to eat.

  So the atmosphere is quite harmonious.

  ...

   Jumping up to the position of director, while the crew was filming in an orderly manner, the publicity and distribution to the outside world was also in full swing.

   It's just that, just in November, the result of Clinton's "accidental" election was like a monstrous flood, which completely drowned out the fire of love. There was no way, who would let his opponent be regarded as a guy who was 100% re-elected?

With the odds differing by several times, if such a thing happened, if Roland's scandal can still overwhelm the other party, then Roland will not need to make movies at all, clean up, learn from Reagan, and he can directly run for university when he becomes an adult Commanded.

However, even if this sudden and unexpected news makes the hype gossip overwhelming, for Fox, it is a happy thing. After all, all news is time-sensitive. After two consecutive months of speculation, , People's attention and concentration have reached a critical point of fatigue.

  Even without this accident, Fox is still ready to change the subject and push people's attention away from love...

  The changing speed of public news is like cherry blossoms, five centimeters per second.

  As the petals fall to the ground, this stubble is also uncovered.

And after the news of the position of the Grand Commander faded, around November 10, Fox began a sprint promotion before the movie was released. The Joe who was filming "A Bronx Story" with Robert De Niro - Pesci took the time to accept media interviews with Daniel Stern, who is already a director and is preparing to shoot "The Kid with the Golden Arm".

  As for the director Chris Columbus, who is deeply bound to Fox, together with Robin Williams, he appeared on the talk show that Fox had already arranged, and broke the news about some interesting things about the filming of the crew.

You read that right, the one who appeared on the show with Columbus was indeed Williams who initially indirectly provided the Olsen couple with the news that "Home Alone" was being auditioned, and the reason why they got involved was actually because of the Jewish gang .

   Jewish Gang, exchange of resources.

After the work became a hit, director Columbus, who had worked with Roland twice in a row, naturally became the target of those A-lists. After getting the script of "Slim Dad" and becoming a producer, Williams aimed at I met Columbus, the hottest family comedy director at the moment. Since I knew each other already, the two hit it off after a phone call.

  In addition, the entire movie was invested by Fox, so helping to announce it was actually a preview of future movies.

  With the appearance of Williams, Roland's entire growth chain finally surfaced.

Under the instruction of Catherine, Williams took the initiative to break the news on the show, telling the audience about the origin of himself and the "Home Alone" series, starting from helping friends inquire about children, and then accidentally introducing Roland into the industry, and then "Home Alone" series The chance encounter during the audition for Captain Hook... Every step of Roland's growth period is clearly depicted in the program.

After Williams and Columbus smiled at the camera and said that Roland was the hardest-working, hardest-working, and most talented kid they had ever seen since they entered the industry, Roland appeared on the headlines the next day .

  In fact, Roland has always got a question wrong.

In his previous life, he saw a lot of things like 'The queen of Hengguo filmed 365 days a year without rest, and insisted not to be a double', 'she still worked with a high fever of 40 degrees, and went to various places to attend commercial activities', 'can sing and dance at 48 degrees , Show your style on the stage' and a series of things such as the collapse of the professional persona, so he is very disgusted with the establishment of a persona, or the behavior of a fixed image—

  But in fact, there is nothing wrong with the persona and image, what is wrong is showing off and lack of self-discipline.

  Which person does not have a three-two mask when he is alive?

  Facing bosses, subordinates, customers, and even circles of friends full of chicken soup philosophy, everyone is a master of Sichuan opera.

  There is nothing wrong with establishing a persona, what is wrong is that you love to pretend too much, overdo it, exert too much force, and go too far.

  But if you tell the facts that have already happened, the so-called backlash will not appear at all.

   What's more, who are the guys who can stand up and say that Roland is excellent now?

  Robin Williams, Chris Columbus, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg…

  When these people recalled the filming process and found that this guy Roland can really make a fuss, didn't the image, or the character design, come out? And this way of doing it yourself and letting others talk about it is the safest way...

  Because in the eyes of the public, this is a group of very prestigious guys in the circle, and they will use their own reputation to endorse you.

   Roland doesn't need to open his mouth, the matter has already been done, and what he needs to do next is actually—

  Business blows up each other.

   Your own people praise your own people!

  As long as the factual basis is emphasized, who can find fault?

  This is also the real reason why Jewish gangs rarely have problems with their image.

   Well done, we have behind-the-scenes footage to prove it, what cannot be known by the world, we have Teacher Tony!

  As long as Sun·Fish Market Tycoon·Yixie's brother Huang·Professional Commentator·Donglai doesn't work, then don't panic~

  ...

  The sprint publicity in the last two weeks is fleeting. When the huge poster of "Home Alone 2" is pasted on the entrance of the theater, and there are commentary display racks on the left and right sides, Thanksgiving Day also quietly arrives.

  As for why the "Home Alone" series, "The Grinch", "Christmas Elf", "Santa Claus" and other Christmas movies are not released in the real Christmas time, this is actually something to say.

   Firstly, the real Christmas schedule highly overlaps with the Golden Globes and Oscars promotion months. If it is released at that time, it will be easy for all media to show their talents.

  You want to make money, and others want to earn money by winning prizes. In this case, isn’t it just that you slap me and I give you a fist?

  Everyone is a businessman, and everyone wants to make money. In this case, what are we fighting with different categories?

   My brain is full of bubbles!

   It’s better to take a step back and have Thanksgiving in November, so that commercial films can reap the box office, and the art films that are going to compete for awards will be released in December, singing songs based on word of mouth, and everyone will not delay.

  Secondly, it is the real Christmas time, which is for children to play!

  Christmas movie, Christmas movie, as the name suggests, is to draw big cakes for children!

Released before Christmas, children who believe in the existence of Santa Claus can face the window, imitate Santa Claus, and make themselves as handsome as Roland, and release after the festival, then the children will miss a day, Wait another year!

   As a result, under the bombardment of media news, around nine o’clock in the morning on Thanksgiving Day, before the gates of movie theaters in various places opened for a while, those energetic children dragged their parents and rushed into the movie theaters.

Unlike the situation in 1990, when relying on "Terminator 2" and relying on James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger to create hype, this year, people's goal is Roland, and with the influx of children, At the gates of each studio, there was even a magical rhythm song-"No nine-nine-eight, no eight-eight-eight, only four yuan and eight, Roland took it home." '

  The love in the eyes of children is unreasonable.

It may be interesting, it may be amusing, or it may be funny, but no matter how you say it, the guys who can come at the beginning of the morning are basically Roland's "die-hard fans"—well, more people have seen it "Home Alone" and "Terminator 2" are popular, but I'm too lazy to line up and fight for seats on a cold night...

  Watching a movie in the morning, going shopping in the afternoon, and eating turkey at home in the evening, what a beautiful life!

   But no matter what the reason is, it is a good thing for the whole family to come out and squeeze into the theater to join in the show.

   And the movie itself, of course, met their expectations.

"Home Alone 2" and "Home Alone" are extremely similar in plot: in the first film, the protagonist Kevin's life is inspired by the old neighbor, but in the second film, it is directly replaced by a woman who feeds pigeons; In the first part, the protagonist Kevin was left at home, while in the second part, he stayed in New York; In the second part, Kevin's condition is still the same...

To put it bluntly, this is actually like "Wolf Warrior 2". I copied myself. Not only the narrative flow of the script is the same as the previous one, but even the stalks inside are very similar. If you have to dig deeper, then I'm sorry. The connotation of the whole movie is the same as that of the previous one. The only thing that has changed is Kevin’s state of mind: in the first movie, when Kevin finds himself at home alone, his whole body exudes a feeling of helplessness. But in the second part, when Kevin learned that he was separated from his family again, the kind of experience, preparation, and independence of self-growth is the biggest change...

  From the beginning when I entered the store to buy something, I had to worry about being suspected by the cashier, to now I can play freely in New York City. The kind of growth that is visible to the naked eye after two years has been able to satisfy the children's greatest imagination...

   Of course, the most important thing is to have fun.

  Children, I don’t want to be Sherlock Holmes, suspense and thriller, just let them say No.

  As for adults, their levels are different, but whether they are ordinary people who just want to be happy, or high-level intellectuals with artistic pursuits, after taking their children into the theater, they will not worry about the bugs in the plot.

   What drives them to the theater is the idea of ​​going to the movies with the kids, the idea of ​​family fun, and the idea of ​​having a happy Thanksgiving together, so as long as the children are satisfied, they don't care.

   What's more, if you really want to talk to your colleagues, will they talk about the movie itself?

rare!

  They’re like, ‘I took the kids to see Home Alone 2 for Thanksgiving, did you go? ’, or ‘The little ones in my family love Roland Allen so much that they bought the same down jacket that was sold in the theater, which cost me over two hundred dollars more! '.

  They may not really like it, but they will definitely complain with good intentions.

  Because of the initial driving point, they didn't let them have high expectations.

  Is this a good thing?

   Definitely not a good thing for an art film.

   But for family-friendly popcorn, the movie has succeeded.

pity-

   No matter what era, there are keyboard warriors...

   Note: ① When filming "The Beach" in 1999, Xiao Lizi asked Fox to bring his friend from the United States to Thailand overnight to hold a party when he saw the scene of Xanadu. The filming of that crew also severely damaged the ecological environment of Phi Phi Island, where the location was filmed. Thailand listed him as an unwelcome immigrant. Because things got a little big (the local residents wore masks and cursed him in the street), so after returning, he established the Environmental Protection Foundation (this is also what I wrote before. head).
