Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 409 The most unlikely person is the most suitable person

   "This question shouldn't come up today..."

Roland smacked his lips and said: "According to the normal production process, the producer first discovers the project, then communicates with the screenwriter, the screenwriter creates the script, and then looks for investors who are interested in the project. The director and actors will only be put on the agenda when the investors have read it and think it’s okay, so let’s finalize the script first, and after the script is formalized, we’re considering who should direct the entire project..."

  Although Roland’s ideas are in line with the norms, in Kate’s view, with the intervention of her husband, a big capitalist, the so-called leading processes such as the discovery of projects by producers and the creation of scripts by screenwriters will no longer exist.

   Reasonable!

  Capital came off the stage with a pen in hand, so why not say to Zha Zhahui, ‘I’m done talking, who agrees? Who is against? ’ It’s a truth! Among the producers and screenwriters around, who would dare to refute?

  Just the coercion from the top of the food chain can make them nod like garlic!

Not to mention…

   Of the top five film history box office records, four belong to Roland!

  In the case of an expert leading an expert, it is even more impossible for others to say anything.

Therefore, when Roland felt that there was still room for revision in the book and that the entire project could not be operated in a short period of time, Kate believed that when Arnold Schwarzenegger got this kind of brainstorming script, this book wanted to use the compliance project to re-create the script. The guy who pulls back the donkey party's support is afraid that he will immediately agree, and then push forward crazily. At that time, as long as the other party plays the banner of co-director discussing the script together, then my husband will probably fall into a passive position again, because—

"According to what you just described, this version of Future War "Terminator 3" contains elements such as time travel, horror, action, war, and visual effects. That is to say, if you want to make this movie , pay attention! This is a successful filming, not a good filming. The director must at least have the skills of thriller and horror films, the achievements of action films, the scheduling of war films, the awareness of science fiction films, and the knowledge of visual effects. , not sticking to the discussion of the inner world, but can embrace business with enthusiasm.”

When Kate turned her back to the desk and counted the requests she found in front of her husband with her fingers, Roland's face gradually turned cold and dark as she retracted those white fingers, and walked toward embarrassment. .

   No way, who made him realize that if he followed the rhythm his wife said, 99.99% of the directors in the world would not be able to meet the requirements of being a cameraman!

   Take Ridley Scott, who just ended his cooperation with Sony.

   This one, that is really a film master!

He not only has the skills of thriller and horror films, the appearance of "Alien" has led the trend of the times, he also has the scheduling of science fiction films, "Blade Runner" is also a classic, and he has an eye-catching overall view, "Gladiator", He can handle war films with different styles like "Black Hawk Down", but in the field of commercial films, his results are ups and downs.

  He once directed "Black Rain" starring Michael Douglas and Kate Capshaw.

   30 million investment and 130 million box office.

   But after that, "The Devil's Female Soldier" starring Demi Moore was very hip.

  Fifty million invested forty-eight million at the box office, so bad that even the underpants are gone.

  In this situation where the business level is extremely unstable, let him control "Terminator 3"?

   Roland is absolutely worried.

  He also believes that Arnold Schwarzenegger will dispute this.

  In addition to Ridley Scott, there is Tim Burton, a world-renowned director who is close to the current requirements.

   As a director who has gone further and further on the path of cults, his style does not match "Terminator".

  And when directors like Ridley Scott and Tim Burton are not good enough, aren’t there only Robert Zemeckis, Michael Bay and Peter Jackson left on the market who can madly embrace business?

   But they—

  There are so many questions!

Although Robert Zemeckis started with science fiction, "Back to the Future" and "Terminator" are obviously two individuals with very different styles. James Cameron made it clear that Robert Zemeckis's next After the two works "Polar Express" and "Beowulf" will become the technical test films of "Avatar", Roland, who is eager to replace "Avatar" with "World of Warcraft", is even less likely to let Robert Zemeckis shoot What "Terminator 3" is.

   After all, letting him continue to collect data from the facial performance capture system is the most correct decision.

  In front of the epoch-making "Avatar" and "World of Warcraft" that may pull up the movie universe, what is "Terminator 3"? Roland can still tell which is more important than this kind of thing!

  The remaining Michael Bay is actually not good either.

  Even though he has endorsements for such works as "Bad Boys", "The End of the World", and "Pearl Harbor", and proved to the world his talent in the fields of action, science fiction, and war, Roland still dare not use him.

   This is not because he is not good at horror and horror, nor is it because he does not understand visual effects, but his art is Pai Daxing's style, which does not meet the current requirements of "Terminator 3".

In Roland's idea, when the T-800 went back to the past to rescue soldiers, the rhythm shown on the screen had to be followed by a thrilling treasure hunt, because the Skynets of the two worlds could not be directly integrated, and the T-800 wanted to plunder resources. He has to fight with Skynet in another world first, and in this process, he who knows himself and the enemy can show his crushing strength, but because of the disparity in combat power, he can't be too crazy.

Afterwards, regardless of whether it was John Connor who wiped out Skynet, or Skynet chasing and killing John Connor, what he showed was the momentum of a large army and the sense of urgency of the soldiers approaching the city. If it fell into the hands of Michael Bay, Then Roland can think of it with the soles of his feet, this guy will definitely find a way to plow the ground with missiles...

  For example, if Skynet fell into a desperate situation, T-800 brought its own robots from various worlds to support it.

  In Roland's vision, it's all the machines, but in Michael Bay's case, it's definitely countless missiles.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

  After the door of space and time opened, the missiles rushing in were like locusts crossing the border, directly washing human beings with blood!

  Boom! Boom! Boom! The explosion is Michael Bay's favorite thing!

   And when it comes to the army approaching the city, the most suitable person to shoot this is actually the last Peter Jackson.

   Having filmed "Corpse Over the World", he not only has a foundation in horror and horror, but the action, war and special effects in "Lord of the Rings" make him the best candidate for the current version of "Terminator 3".

  But unfortunately, except for "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit", the results of this fat man's other movies are mediocre.

   And let him intervene in "Terminator 3" before the "Lord of the Rings" series is over?

   Then isn’t it just looking for trouble?

Roland wouldn't have distracted Peter Jackson when he knew Lord of the Rings was destined to become a legend, just as he wouldn't have drawn Robert Zemeckis and James Cameron Like shooting "Terminator 3", the legendary Roland who has already obtained will not be destroyed. What he needs is to create another glories on the basis of grasping the success!

  So, after careful counting, there is actually only one person who can really meet the requirements——

  Thinking of this, the corners of Roland's mouth curled up instinctively.

   Looking at his wife, his eyes were full of helplessness.

   "You know in your heart that someone can actually meet this requirement, right?"

   "Hmm." Kate didn't answer, just snorted lightly, shrugged, and threw the question back to her husband.

Such a situation also made Roland continue to say: "We know someone who started out with thriller and horror films, and then he has his own action film series. Not only can he produce a bunch of blockbuster science fiction movies, he is also the world's first Embracing feature film CGI modeling, the most important thing is that the war film he made also won the box office champion of the year..."

  When Roland babbled about all this, Kate, who had been staring at him, showed a knowing smile on her face.

  The red lips parted slightly, and asked: "Then do you think he will take over this project?"

   "No." The smile on Roland's face grew wider.

   At the same time, his voice was full of emotion, "Because his name is Steven."

   That's right!

   Can not only show talent in thriller and horror films, but also achieve results in action films! It can not only control the overall situation in war films, but also dominate everything in science fiction films! A guy who can combine all of them, and be able to organize clearly and maintain quality and quantity! Not only Steven Spier who took "Jaws", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "E.T.", "Jurassic Park", "Saving Private Ryan" Berg this person?

   Besides, who else is suitable?

No!

   But will he make "Terminator 3"?

How can it be!

  Just like in Hollywood movies where the king does not see the king, these famous directors also have their own pride!

   Roland could have the cheek to ask the old man to shoot "Harry Potter", but no matter how thick-skinned he is, the old man would not be able to shoot "Terminator 3", because after the filming, what will the score be?

   Once the filming is done, James Cameron will really be a head shorter than him!

   If the shot is ruined, then he will actually be a head shorter than the other party!

  In the case of extremely strong contrast, it is absolutely impossible for the old man to take on this project!

   Of course, the truck driver will not allow the other party to take over this project!

  So, even if there is a perfect candidate, even if this perfect candidate often makes some PY transactions with Roland, it doesn't matter what Roland thinks when it comes to the principle of reputation!

   This is not a question of whether the mouth escape skill is good or not.

   This is really an unsolvable problem.

   "Ah! How annoying!" Thinking of this, Roland yelled in pain.

He hugged his daughter-in-law's waist, bent his neck down, and threw his head down like countless guys who like to smash their heads against the wall when encountering difficulties, but...others are chiseling tables, but he is wash your face.

   "Ummmmmm...why are you reminding me that I can't make a good movie without a good director when I'm bursting with inspiration?"

  The words of grievance coming from in front of her made Kate giggle and glee, and Kate, who already liked this kind of intimate life, was even happier after seeing her man nestling in her arms like a child.

  Patting Roland on the back 'pretentiously', and then said in a teacher's tone: "This is a fact that you can't ignore, let alone get over it, so you can only face it..."

   "Then why don't you let me face it tomorrow?" Roland, who had tasted the sweetness, didn't want to wake up.

   "It's like a female senior was 'molested' by a male student in the cafeteria, and she went crazy on the spot."

  Kate shrugged, "No matter what the outcome of the matter is, take the initiative to attack and never suffer. Even if the case is overturned in the end, so what? Anyway, all the information about the boy has been exposed..."

  ‘What kind of metaphor is this? ’ Roland secretly complained in his heart.

  He kept burying his head in his wife's arms as he didn't want to respond, and when Kate found out that her husband was refusing to cooperate, she said, "Originally, this problem shouldn't exist...

  In the past so many years, if you have studied hard with Steven, you can now write scripts according to the director just like him.

so…

such a pity…"

  Kate's words made Roland feel a little emotional.

  Indeed, if he had studied hard with the old man in the past ten years, he would be able to raise his gun by himself now.

  Even if he is really too lazy to shoot, it doesn’t matter. Once he draws a draft of the shot, other tools can be busy.

Can…

  There is no regret medicine in the world!

  When Roland felt that he could become capital and no longer need to do these meticulous tasks, he should be able to think that if one day he couldn't shake people, in the end, only himself could save himself.

   He was too confident.

  He thinks money can solve everything.

   But...

  If Roland were to do it all over again, he believed that he would still make the same mistake, because—

   "Honey." Roland got up after inhaling the incense.

   "Huh?" Kate pronounced with her nose, wondering what else a dead duck like her husband could come up with.

   "Steve and I have more appreciation for literature." Roland said.

   "Appreciation ability?" Upon hearing this, Kate immediately laughed, "Oh! Roland! You are so funny!

   Where do you have the ability to appreciate?

  If you had the ability to appreciate, would you still be so worried now?

  Directly split the script into several parts, let the appropriate director shoot them one by one, and finally edit them in series, and the movie will come out! "

  The well-organized words are like a big smiling face, laughing at the low-level mistakes in Roland's words.

  But even though what Kate said was well-founded, Roland still refused to admit it.

   Not only that, but he also leaned back very seriously to distance himself from his wife.

  Looking straight at each other, the original laughter was replaced by a surge of seriousness.

   Such a situation surprised the smiling Kate.

  Because she suddenly discovered that her husband was unhappy?

   While she was thinking about how harmful her words were, Roland had already spoken.

   "Kate."

"ah?"

   "Don't you think that appreciating this kind of skill and seeing one in your life is all money?"

   "What?"

  When Kate listened to what her husband said, she felt that the meaning of the language was ridiculous, and she frowned.

"ah!"

But when she kept thinking about why her husband belittled a piece of knowledge to such rubbish, the gaze that had been falling on her made her suddenly wake up, and a look of sudden realization appeared on her face, "You bastard! ! Simply!"

"What's wrong with me?" Seeing that his daughter-in-law understood, Roland also laughed, and leaned forward, rubbing his mouth and nose against the other's neck. , as for the rest? What does it have to do with me?"

  The decisive words made Kate smile, but even so, she still hugged her husband and bit his shoulder. After receiving this signal, Roland decisively hugged his wife and got up...

   That's what it is!

  What does it have to do with him if "Terminator 3" is shot well?

   After all, the meaning of its existence is to return the favor of Arnold Schwarzenegger!

  So, when the script appeared, Roland was able to take a break from work. As for the director?

  Who is the director? How important is it that they make babies?

  Arnold Schwarzenegger can shoot whoever he wants, but Roland...

   Now I just want to go back to the room with my wife!
