Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 201 The three views coincide, the center of the world

   Together with Kate, after buying Christmas gifts three months in advance, seeing that it was still early, they turned eastward and westward as they wantonly pressed the road.

   Not long after, the tired two walked into a cinema, looking for a movie to rest their feet.

   It was the off-season, and there were not many blockbuster movies in the theater. The two thought together for a while, and chose a romantic movie——

   "The Sky of Ball Love".

   That's right, it's "The Sky of Ball Love", the name is right!

   But this ball is not a rich woman happy ball, but a golf ball.

   Hiss...

its not right!

  This golf ball seems to be ambiguous!

  Uh...never mind...

   Ambiguity is ambiguity, look at it...

At the beginning of "The Sky of Ball Love", it is about a superb golfer who can play all kinds of tricks because he lost a key game, and fell into a state of self-blame and depression. Back on the court.

  So, disheartened, he returned to his hometown, opened a golf driving range there, and continued to make a living with his beloved career.

Suddenly one day, a doctor of psychology came here to study. During the study, they found that they could exchange jobs. hostess.

  Unfortunately, the heroine already has a boyfriend, and her boyfriend is also the hero's competitor. In order to **** the woman from his enemy, the hero decided to return to the arena under the instigation of his friends.

  Inspired by love, the male protagonist hits the most difficult golf ball in the history of golf, triumphantly all the way, and entered the final decisive round.

  Although he tried again and again, the male lead has won the hearts of the beauties.

  However, love and career are not the focus of this film. The real center is the dialogue between the male and female protagonists cuddling on the sofa at the end of the film—

  The hero with an adventurous spirit tells the heroine that only relying on bravery in his chest is just a reckless man. He likes the wisdom of the heroine and will learn from her in the future;

  The heroine also told the hero that the mediocrity brought about by carefulness will only make the repetition wash away the beauty. Life can be dull, but love cannot become boring. She is willing to try to understand the fearlessness of the hero.

   To be honest, the future is fine, the two will be amused by the comedy plot, but when they saw this, Roland and Kate looked embarrassed.

  Roland had never seen this movie in his previous life, and Kate actually went for Kevin Scotner and Renee Russell, who were on the starring list.

They thought it was a standard movie that combined sports and love, but no one thought that the real core of the whole movie is to tell every couple that in the game of love, there will never be a winner , if this game is to be sustained for a long time, both parties need to learn to compromise at the same time.

   Oh! My! God!

  If there is no disagreement, they may be able to watch it with gusto, and then discuss the importance of understanding.

   But now...

   They almost ran out of the movie theater!

   Not only that, but the two of them, who are both very strong in their bones, even complained about the movie very tacitly when they were having dinner.

Kate poked Salad with a fork, and said without a ladylike image: "The guy played by Kevin Scotner can win if he plays steadily, but he has to treat every ball as if it is the last ball in his life like a madman." Fighting, it's really irrational... He shouldn't choose a heroine whose personality is very different from his, what he wants is a guy who can accompany him on adventures!"

Roland also strongly agreed: "I don't understand at all why the heroine chooses the hero. The heroine is a calm and intellectual doctor of psychology. She is more suitable for the second male lead, because she will never be able to keep up with the male lead. Adventurous footsteps!"

  Both parties understand that things like feelings cannot be voluntarily compromised like in the movie.

  Because this thing is not a multiple-choice question for nine pounds and fifteen pence, as long as you do it right once, you can get the same score every year.

   There is never a correct answer to the emotional game. Instead, the more you think about it for a while, the more angry you get, and the more you think about it when you take a step back, the more you lose.

   Whoever admits defeat first will be finished.

   As for understanding, consideration and tolerance?

  Of course these things are important, but compared with the issue of persistence, principles come first.

  Of course, they feel that they are sticking to the principle, but in the eyes of a series of outsiders such as the bodyguard assistant, the two people's three views match to explode, okay?

   If you really stick to it, then you two will quarrel!

  Can't even start a fight, and still consider the other party's emotions while sticking to your position?

   Are you calling this a conflict?

   This is obviously Xiu En's hobby, right?

...

  The words are against each other, but the reality is extremely crooked?

  Can you two stop fighting!

   I beg you to get married in situ!

It's a pity that Roland and Kate couldn't understand their thoughts for the time being, because neither of them realized that what they struggled with was not at all "whether I can tolerate my girlfriend filming with the opposite sex" or "I will regret for the rest of my life if I don't win an Oscar", but, "If I Frankly expressing my perseverance, then I may lose him (her)'.

   This is the root of their tacit cooperation while they think they are sticking to something, and it is also the root of their ability to mobilize their emotions without hindrance. If it weren't for the fact that both parties care, then they would have long been in harmony.

  ...

And just when the two thought they were in a state of 'everyone is drunk and I am alone', but in fact they were in a state of 'the authorities are in the dark and the bystanders are clear', at the Skywalker Ranch in San Francisco, George Lucas was beeping .

  Looking at the technological spaceship in front of him, the bearded man put his hands on his hips and frowned.

   "This spaceship you designed..."

   "...Why do I look more and more like the 'Blackbird' strategic reconnaissance aircraft produced by Lockheed-Martin?"

   "What? It's really SR-71?"

   "Shit! You can't do this!"

   "I can see that you are copying Lockheed-Martin's ideas. After the movie is released, they will definitely sue us if they find that the appearance has been copied!"

   "Changed, changed! I don't want to be the defendant!"

   With a big wave of his hand, the three armies were exhausted.

   Pacing away from the props warehouse, not long after, his voice was heard again in the costume design room.

   "Is this the clothes you designed?"

   "My God! What I want is Queen Amidala's Throne Room costume! Not the common dress!"

   "She is the queen elected by the people! Do you want to show her dignity?"

   "I'm not satisfied, redo!"

  Colorful black, how can it be so easy to achieve?

  After killing the design, George Lucas left again, and the next thing he patronized was the CGI modeling studio.

   "We still can't make Yoda with CGI?"

   "How long will it take for CGI characters to have the same flexibility as normal people?"

   "Okay, okay, I understand, let's continue to use puppet Yoda this time..."

   "It seems that the current computer stunts still have a lot of room for improvement. I look forward to one day in the future, you can let me give up the use of puppets..."

  That’s right, the only project that can make George Lucas “retire” for many years beeping is the “Star Wars” prequel series that was hyped when “Jurassic Park” was released in 1993.

  After more than three years of careful preparation, Lucasfilm is now finally ready to start.

All right…

In fact, in the past three years, George Lucas has only been doing one thing, and that is how to expand his original one-page worldview into a prequel plot of more than 400 pages, and then write the story based on the plot. script.

  Different from Steven Spielberg, George Lucas's life is not equal to a movie. Shooting one day earlier and one day later will not have much impact on him.

  But when the project enters the formal preparation stage, he will not treat this series with the attitude of the game life, although he does not regard "Star Wars" as his son...

  After wandering around in various departments, the secretary knocked on the door of the office before George Lucas could return to the office and scratch his head.

   "George, Fox is calling again." The secretary said with a look of embarrassment: "They want to know, how is our project preparation going?"

  Hearing this remark, George Lucas, who had just wandered around and found that the preparation progress of various departments was not up to standard, immediately became angry, "Aren't they watching "The Lord of the Rings" that Roland just won?"

   "How can you care about me?"

Hard words, the secretary is not surprised, or in 1993 with the prequel series of "Star Wars" to help his little brother Steven - Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" platform, In the past few years, George Lucas has been annoyed by the Big Six for no other reason—

   Isn't it because they all want to get the distribution rights of the prequel series of "Star Wars"!

  Everyone knows that this is a project that can make money with their eyes closed. In addition, the copyright is only owned by Lucasfilm. Then, isn’t it the one who pays the highest price?

  If you were another producer, you might enjoy the bliss brought by the six favorites, but for a guy like George Lucas, this kind of scene is really boring.

  They are used to this kind of pursuit, and their physical and mental comfort has faded away, and the rest is the conflict of interests.

  It's a pity that the Big Six have their own bottom line. Even if they really want to, the optimal conditions they offer are just the same as the "Star Wars" series back then.

  So, George Lucas, who can’t feel the ‘sincerity’, is very annoying—

   Who wouldn't want more?

   But he also understands that worrying is useless, so after complaining, he asked again: "Is Fox still unwilling to make concessions on the box office share?"

   "Yes." The secretary nodded.

   "Then tell them that we can't shoot yet!"

  Lucas' words are extremely tough.

"But…"

Hearing this, the secretary instinctively wanted to dissuade, "During the continuous bidding process, Paramount, Sony, Universal, and Disney have all quit because of the increase in asking price. If we keep shouting like this, I'm afraid Warner will also give up, and At that time, Fox will have a high probability of announcing that the project has been stranded, so as to force us to give up profits."

   "After all, compared with investment issuance, the profit of light issuance is not enough..."

  Although the secretary didn't say it clearly, how could Lucas not know that he was talking about Roland?

  Under normal circumstances, for projects that are sure to make money, they are self-published by the copyright owner. Even if there is no distribution channel, they are looking for distribution instead of giving up investment rights.

  What about Roland?

  He has money, distribution channels, copyright, and filming capital, but he does nothing except take a commission!

  This kind of large-scale profit-sharing makes the Big Six very satisfied, and it also makes those guys who want to take selfies to find distribution extremely depressed-Roland Allen at the top of the food chain makes such profit-making, so why do you want this or that?

   It doesn’t matter to those guys who didn’t get privileges before, but like Lucas…

  He is actually not afraid.

   "Fox quit, quit!"

   "I can't find a release if they quit?"

   "I won't let Steven do it, but I can let Roland do it!"

  That's right, Lucas now has food in his hands, and he doesn't panic.

  He really didn't want Spielberg to get involved in his "Star Wars" series, but it was psychologically acceptable for Roland, who had channels, to do it.

  The reason why he is asking for a crazy price now is probably because he means driving Fox to death!

  If no one knows the truth, Lucas may restrain himself, until now...

hehe!

  I am afraid of you?

  After Lucas took the initiative to talk about Roland, the little secretary stopped beeping. If you look at it according to relatives, Roland must be facing Lucas.

  Since his goal is to "seek more benefits from Fox" and he has "Roland Allen" behind him, then it is actually not a big problem for Lucas to leave Fox alone.

   As for Roland offending Fox?

   Stop joking, okay!

   This is not a project that Roland took the initiative to do. Besides, in Hollywood, there is only Fox of News Corp., who will not tear faces with Roland!

  After expressing indifference to the secretary's concerns, Lucas, who mentioned Roland, suddenly said, "By the way, what's going on with Steven?"

   "Have they reached a cooperation agreement with the British Ministry of Defense?"

   "I still want to film with him!"

Faced with such inquiries, the secretary who has also been following up on "Jurassic Park 2" said: "The British Ministry of Defense does not want to lend thousands of soldiers to Steven to film "Saving Private Ryan", so he is going to find Roland .”

  Looking for Roland?

  Hearing these words, Lucas was startled for a moment, and then laughed, "Yes, looking for Roland..."

  The words of emotion came out in an instant, "I didn't expect that in the early 1990s, that little guy who flattered us has now grown to the point where he can help me!"

   "It's really fast!"

  Yes, Peter Jackson may be the first big guy to ask Roland for help, but he will never be the last.

  As Roland continues to grow, those guys who gave generously to him back then will now unconsciously ask him for help.

  Although Spielberg just wanted Roland to help solve the British Ministry of Defense, and Lucas just wanted to kill Fox under the banner of Roland, but...

   Isn't this a good start?

   All along, Roland has not been afraid of being begged by others, but he is afraid that no one will beg him, because the more people beg him, it proves that his value is constantly expanding.

   When the size of this group of people expands to a certain number, even if Roland doesn't want to seek anything, he has already become the center of the world...

   Note: ① "The Sky of Ball Love" was indeed released in the summer of 1996, and the famous scene of the film is indeed the final compromise dialogue. Not only that, but it's the second-best golf movie of all time, and I don't know who the first is. ②Lucas was indeed unwilling to share "Star Wars" with Spielberg. When "Star Wars 2" started shooting, Lucas had no time, so Spielberg offered to ask Ying to help with the filming, but Lucas refused , and their breaking news is that if "Star Wars" is filmed by Spielberg, even if it is a sequel, there will definitely be an argument that Spielberg makes "Star Wars" greater, so Lucas would rather be with Spielberg. I don’t want to share all the other resources with Gerard, and I don’t want to give him “Star Wars”, but when shooting the prequels, Spielberg actually helped to shoot many scenes. When Spielberg was filming "Saving Private Ryan" in Ireland, he went to the "Star Wars" crew in the UK when he had nothing to do. ③Before the "Star Wars" prequel project was established, Lucas did grind with Fox for a long time, just to get Fox to give up the right to sell toys.

   ps, the chrysanthemum hurts! !
