Chapter 149: Roland, the Tool Man, the Choice of the Times
In fact, for new guys, adapting to the role is the most important thing they need to do.
But for guys who can pick and choose like buying vegetables in the vegetable market, putting themselves in a comfort zone for performance is the root of playing more roles - if you are not happy, then how can you bother to shape the role?
If in "The Philadelphia Story", Tom Hanks played a quiet death, then in "Captain Phillips", it is a madness in a desperate situation, after twenty years, Tom Hanks used the opposite method to play the near-death moment again.
In this way, many people feel that he is changing genres and is the embodiment of exquisite skills.
But he himself admitted on "Fat Lun Show" that he suffered from type 2 diabetes, did not dare to disobey the doctor's instructions, was afraid of various complications, and regretted that he was too prodigal when he was young.
Actor is a profession that needs to be accumulated, playing a type well when you are young, and being able to continue to deepen, it is already a very successful performance, and when your life experience is constantly enriched, it will change naturally, it will naturally come easily, this is not a thing that is fueled by seedlings, but many young people are arrogant, and after hearing criticism, they want to express themselves, and this performance will only be based on their own shortcomings and attack each other's strengths.
Steven Spielberg won't let him fall into the pit, or rather, male stars will always be harder to win than female stars.
Will Smith fell into the pit himself in order to support his son.
And Tom Hanks, in order to support his son, wrote, directed and acted by himself, made "Unstoppable Miracle", took out "Band of Brothers", stuffed him into "King Kong", matched him in "The Great Buck Howard", and asked him to brush his face in the rebooted "Game of the Brave" series, but-this is really fate!
Compared with the unlimited resources of actresses, if the male star can't become popular, then he really can't become popular.
Because it is impossible for a male star to be like an actress who constantly brushes his face as a vase!
To put it mildly, since Roland is up, the stakeholders don't want him to fall, and in this case, what if Tom Hanks and Robin Williams help out?
The current Roland is actually the same as Bill Gates, who dropped out of Harvard.
After Bill Gates dropped out, his mother donated a sum of money to the school immediately, what is this money for?
After receiving the money, Harvard will open its doors to him forever.
Even if you can't become the richest man in the world, you will still be a Harvard student.
Because of this, Roland didn't ask why Robin Williams was here.
You know, when Steven Spielberg was in a sad mood, Robin Williams told him jokes across the Atlantic, this kind of relationship can no longer be measured by money, and for them, a favor is just a gesture.
After a pleasant lunch, Roland, who had already understood the process of creating a character, was taken by them to Los Angeles Special School.
Once you've determined the essence of success and your persona building approach, you can't go wrong when it comes to imitating techniques.
In Hanks's words, "If you can be friends with these guys, you're a good person." ”
And in Williams' words, it is: "I try to make them have mood swings, you watch their reactions, their faces and their movements, that's the accumulation of your skills, you don't have to think about it, you can capture their characteristics all at once, and Daniel Lewis also won the first Oscar after 29 years of study." ”
Tom Hanks is in the church, Robin Williams is outside the school, in this case, Roland feels that creating a character is simply easier than drinking water, this is not to say how talented he is, but the guys around him can help him eliminate the wrong options, so that when Roland achieves the seven-day consecutive check-in achievement, he and Hanks sit side by side, just like an imbecile, although it is just a movement god, but ......
It's a great feeling.
As for learning a zombie face in seven days, this kind of teaching progress is too slow?
No, it's already very fast.
Compared with the previous method of analyzing the role first and acting according to the characteristics of the role, changing the way of acting and letting the role cooperate with oneself are two different paths, and as long as this path is successful once, the role play in the future can be faster, because the more experience you have, the more inventory you have in your emotional and skill library, and when you have too many emotions and skills to run out, it can be the same as Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep in the Washington Post. Casually acting, Steven Spielberg is already shouting 'Cut, Good'.
After seven days in a special school, Robin Williams officially retreated, while Tom Hanks continued to experience life with Roland, volunteering to cook and distribute food to the homeless at the aid center; At the crossroads in the downtown area, carrying plastic buckets to raise funds for the disabled people's association; chatting with the elderly in nursing homes; Wearing rain boots and gloves, grab cleaners, brushes, and mops and clean the statues and railings at the entrance to the Getty Center......
Volunteer culture is very prevalent in America, April 15 and 21 every year is the National Volunteer Week, the annual unpaid labor to the economy as much as about 200 billion US dollars, not only that, many secondary schools have volunteer activities plus credits such a saying, and many universities also value the volunteer experience, especially medical universities, if the applicant has not done a certain number of hours of volunteer work in a hospital or nursing institution, no matter how good the grades, it will not be considered.
Of course, where does Roland, a foreigner, have such ideological awareness?
Rather than preach dedication there, it is better to say that he wants to be a civilian hero.
Like Harrison Ford saving people, he was experiencing the feeling of being a good person, and when the guys passing by found out that the guys standing together were actually Roland Allen and Tom Hanks, the excitement of meeting and onlookers, asking for autographs and compliments, made Roland's cheeks a little feverish.
However, this is normal for Tom Hanks.
"With this reaction in mind, you can use it ......for shyness, embarrassment, etc.
"And when you can fully accept the praise of others, and be willing to be calm after doing the good deeds, you can show it."
"No matter how much others cheer, you can be calm, because good is your instinct, and you're used to it."
Being yourself, rather than shaping a character, is Roland's biggest takeaway.
And when he and Hanks appeared on the streets, the reporters who heard the news also filmed them.
If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely not be able to make headlines when you become a volunteer.
But after more than two months of continuous screenings, the North American box office of "Jurassic Park" has exceeded 360 million.
As the second-highest-grossing film in North America after "Star Wars", Roland's every move as the main creator will naturally make the media excited and concerned, not to mention, there is Hanks next to him.
Since Roland and Hanks didn't want to be interviewed, the media reporters finished filming.
But with the spread of the news, there are more and more guys who want to sign a group photo after hearing the news.
Some even drove 200 miles just to meet them.
And the so-called box office hype, the suspicion of project promotion, is even more none.
There is no way, in the eyes of the people, Hanks, who greets passers-by all the year round and keeps playing a good guy, is a good man, and Roland, who can withstand the pressure of fans and directly overturn the case at the box office, is even more handsome!
Many young ladies are wearing sweatshirts bought from Wal-Mart, and they want Roland to sign on their bodies by pulling the hem of their clothes!
If it weren't for Hanks to stop him, those female fans who pounced on him would probably have eaten Roland!
Of course, because more and more people are hungry for Roland, their volunteer career has also come to an end.
Although he only worked for a week, the kindness he passed on and received made Roland very satisfied.
Experiences and emotions, including those career changes, are fundamental to making the role his own.
These are the guys he eats with, and he will keep them well.
After remembering this, there was also news from the crew of "Forrest Gump".
Robert Zemeckis called to tell Tom Hanks that the little actor who plays Forrest Gump has arrived and can go learn the accent.
In fact, many movies and TV series have been criticized as bad, but they just lack professionalism.
Regardless of ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, regardless of industry or industry, when the script is in hand, it is all about falling in love.
It's okay at first, but it's boring to watch too much.
Changing the soup without changing the medicine, most of the guys are annoyed to watch.
And once there is a slightly more professional film and television drama, the word of mouth will rise gradually.
Is it because the shooting is good?
Not necessarily.
More often than not, it's too rotten.
For a whole month of August, although Roland was running all over the ground, he actually only did one thing-
'I love to learn, and learning makes me happy. ’
And when he flew to South Carolina with the crew, the systematic filming was on the right track.
The movie "Forrest Gump" is actually a modern history of America.
Although the economy of America after World War II was booming, young people 'lost' their original faith, so they were called the 'Beat Generation'.
When some people are bullied, they run forward, and Forrest Gump, who got rid of the scaffold, is the spirit of America to move forward, and the rapid development of more than 200 years is that generation after generation of people run out like this......
After the Vietnam War, he joined the army to defend his family and the country, and the tragic defeat was simply portrayed, and Forrest Gump's beloved was the young people who were anti-war in America at that time, and the 'hippies' were the representatives of the anti-war.
As for the subsequent ping-pong diplomacy and the Watergate scandal, there is nothing to hide.
The so-called shrimp fishing boats and Apple are not telling the world -
Even if you are mentally retarded, if you work hard enough, you can achieve success, because this is the beacon of the human world, and the society of America can create such a legend." ’
At the same time, Forrest Gump's lover Jenny, whose life is depressed, begins to slap grass, and the 'Beat Generation' is also getting old.
In the end, Jenny returns to Forrest Gump, and it is a fusion of old ideas and new ideas, and they begin to accept each other.
To put it mildly, re-election a hundred times, "Forrest Gump" is the winner, and "The Shawshank Redemption" will still be fruitless - because "The Shawshank Redemption" is about this: as long as the personal will is strong enough, as long as you have enough desire for freedom, you can break the injustice imposed on you and find your own paradise.
Isn't this nonsense?
How did One Fly Over the Asylum become an Oscar slam movie?
Isn't that what people are saying:
Darkness and injustice engulf justice and conscience, and the guys with talent and yearning for freedom are forever marginalized by them?
Compare the two, and you will find that "The Shawshank Redemption" is encouraging people to learn the art of dragon slaying!
His heart is damned!
The Oscar jury voted for a ghost!
Those old white men live very comfortably, who wants to experience turmoil?
What's more, the current public opinion is really the same as the idea promoted by the film-
The mentally handicapped can make money!
Open a website, you can harvest investment, and then you will become a general manager, become a CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and walk to the peak of life!
That's right, the current Internet outlet is so wild, and it is precisely because of this wildness that "Forrest Gump" becomes more realistic - 'If we can dream it, we can do it!' (If we can dream, we can do it!) )
Since "Forrest Gump" has achieved 'movies are derived from the art of life', then in this year, it is invincible.
As for why "The Shawshank Redemption" was overturned?
I'm sorry, but it's never been overturned.
The so-called fan ratings are just that the group of guys who couldn't vote back then can now access the Internet......
This is a contradiction between the two camps of 'want to change the status quo' and 'don't want to change the status quo'.
It is also a contradiction that cannot be resolved from ancient times to the present.
Because of this, Roland had no intention of studying the script at all.
This kind of Oscar-made film really doesn't make much sense to study.
Letting the fool become himself is his greatest goal.
And after joining the group, Robert Zemeckis assigned him the role of the first guy to sit in a chair and listen to Forrest Gump's story - he will correspond to Forrest Gump's childhood, implying the generation gap between the two generations.
Roland didn't ask about all the arrangements, now, he is a tool man who loves to learn, as for Robert Zemeckis's creation?
He didn't even think about participating!
However, in terms of the crew's service, Roland has a heart.
He wanted Forrest Gump's son to wear his own clothes.
After all, with the release of "Forrest Gump", the Nike worn by Tom Hanks is crazy to sell!
If he can't connect with Paramount, then forget it, but now he has the right to implant ads, so why not?
If you don't earn money, isn't that stupid?
He's certainly not stupid!
He is a jade tree in the wind, graceful, handsome and chic, unparalleled in the world, peerless, talented, the embodiment of justice and wisdom, everyone loves flowers and flowers, a pear flower presses begonias, the universe is super invincible, and he is known as the beautiful boy of the Thunderbolt century!
