Chapter Ninety-Six: The Forest Is Big, and There Are All Kinds of Birds
() "Hey! Rowland! Can I take a picture with you? ”
"Of course, oh, Lillian, this is Minolta?"
"For the X-700, my dad gave me a birthday present when I was a year old, and I've been using it for so many years."
…………
"Roland, congratulations on your second movie that is also a big hit, I hope it can also break 500 million, this is for you......"
"Oh! This is the best blessing I would like to hear, and thank you so much for the gift, Claudia. ”
"No thanks, I'm glad you can open the gift in front of me......"
"Okay, I'll tear it down...... Belch...... It's ......"
“a……”
…………
"Hello, Roland, do you remember me?"
“yeah! Marina, it's a pleasure to meet you! ”
"Hey, sisters, I'll just say Roland won't forget me, right? You each owe me a movie ticket now! ”
"Marina, you are"
"Bet! They said that you have dropped out of school for more than a year, and you have long forgotten about your classmates, I am not convinced, I think you will still remember us, so we made a bet, if they lose, in the next summer vacation, we will go to the cinema every day, to watch your movies! Unhappy? ”
"Of course I'm happy that the box office is going up! But what I'm happiest about is that you can support me......"
"In return, will you be able to sign us?"
"No problem! It's so easy, where do you want to sign? ”
"Sign our clothes up? The front and the back are your own! ”
"Uh...... I think I'd better give you an autographed photo......"
…………
When Roland fled from the crowd, took the freshly squeezed juice handed by James, and drank it without any image, his cheeks, which had been reddened, could not show his true heart at the moment.
Is it the heat after being crowded by a crowd?
Or the shyness after being attacked?
Or both?
Only Roland himself knows this.
However, when he put down the cup and leaned against the corner to gasp for breath, James, who had witnessed Fang Cai's situation, came over with a wicked smile on his face, "Tut-tut...... was kissed on the face by Claudia, is it cool? ”
"She's the prettiest girl in our school!"
"That guy George wanted to have a relationship with her before, but Claudia didn't agree!"
"And Marina, their group of girls are also very beautiful, how is it, do you have any ideas?"
At this moment, Roland really wanted to put a little hat on the eyebrow-squeezing James.
What is the difference between his treacherous face and the turtle man in it?
It's all pimping, okay?
"Go aside! Go aside! ”
"Isn't that something you made up?"
Roland raised his elbow angrily and pushed the little chubby dun that leaned over directly away.
Not only that, but he also pretended to be fierce and said, "You go out and help me deal with those guys!" ”
"Let them stop a little!"
"I'm not interested in those things, ok?"
"I'm only eleven years old, and I'm not looking for a girlfriend right now, you know?"
A sour pickle rushed towards James, although Roland's words were full of disgust, but James didn't care, but squeezed his eyes happily at Roland, "Okay, I know ......"
"You're not interested in them!"
"You're interested in my sister Elizabeth......"
"I'm still interested in the little actor in "Home Alone 3" that I don't know if there is, right?"
"I know it all...... I know ......"
"Well, I'll help you deal with them! Guaranteed not to make you feel troubled! ”
Before he could finish speaking, James picked up the cup that Roland had just drunk.
At the same time, he also got up and moved closer to the crowd.
Looking at the ball lightning that was gradually moving away, Roland, who was still full of fierceness, chuckled and shook his head, looking around, the backyard full of laughter made him feel a little emotional, because these guys were all coming for him
After earning 40 million in three days of release and 72 million in seven days in the first week, beating "Detective Bald Detective 2" to win the box office championship of the week, "Terminator 2" took a big dive at the box office in the second week, but it maintained a relatively stable million data on weekdays from Monday to Thursday.
Although it may not be the fastest movie in film history to break 100 million, the 72 million a week figure will be ruthlessly trampled on by the exaggerated 81.7 million a week of "Jurassic Park" two years later, and the unbeatable summer schedule will also make people in the industry complain about "Terminator 2", but for Roland, none of this matters.
Because when the box office exceeded 100 million, the little chubby dun who would give him five every day pulled a big deal for him.
Although it is summer vacation, James, who has various social activities, still meets and contacts his classmates at school.
At the time of the exchange, Roland Allen, who had studied with them, became the target of their discussion.
The box office of his first debut work broke 500 million?
The second work that is being screened, the results are also soaring, galloping towards the original goal?
Not to mention what kind of thoughts this exaggerated achievement will make those children of the same age as Roland, just the cool image on the screen can already capture the hearts of a little girl.
In the statistics of the picture company, while the box office exceeded 100 million, the North American Cinema Alliance also gave sales data around the poster, and the movie posters related to Roland have been bought by the children, and in David's words, that is, many manufacturers have called to inquire about whether Roland will accept the image endorsement advertisement, if they can, they hope to use Roland's image to produce dolls and other derivatives to meet the needs of children.
Just from the mountain of invitation posters, you can see how popular Roland is now, and unlike those guys who want to get in touch but don't have the opportunity, these guys who came today have a meeting basis, and after begging around James, the party in the backyard is now naturally pulling
Since this group of guys is coming for Roland, if Roland, the owner, does not come forward to receive him, it is unreasonable.
But it wasn't until Roland, who felt that it was not a big problem to have a party, met with this group of enthusiastic former classmates, that he realized how popular he was in the group of children......
Similar to the blockade at the airport when I was on vacation to Hawaii at the beginning of the previous year?
Are you kidding!
If the little guy who came today had half of the restraint of those sister fans at the beginning, then Roland would be able to fly happily, okay?
In the name of giving gifts, I suddenly kissed him on the face, and it was all simple!
Like what I want to sign, but I just want you to sign on my clothes
Like something, let's take a picture, and it turns out that an octopus appears
Like what, in a few days, our house will have a party, and we hope you will be able to come and attend
Like what my dad liked the Terminator very much, he had the opportunity to be a guest at my house
This strange request and suggestive words gave Roland a headache to hear.
No problem with signatures!
But when you wear a white T-shirt, you have a problem with your chest and abdomen and buttocks!
It's no problem to take a group photo!
But don't you hug it, okay?
As for attending a party? That's the problem!
Have you ever heard the phrase that my vassal's vassal is not my vassal? Your friend's friend isn't my friend! Since everyone doesn't know each other, what am I going to do?
And your dad likes Terminators, so it has nothing to do with me!
I'm playing a human being! If your dad likes Terminators, you should go and ask Schwarzenegger! What made me go to your house to see your father? It's a good thing, how can it be the same as seeing your father-in-law?
With the continuous pounce of fans, there are more and more old grooves in Roland's heart.
In his previous life, he didn't have this experience, and after those little girls full of youth took a photo with his arm generously, he finally understood that he was handsome and could really be eaten
Before, he thought that Jeremy Meeks was hyped up, but judging from the current situation
America is really a magical country, because beauty equals everything!
Not only that, but he also knew why that kind of thing happened with a big bowl of wide noodles.
It's not that our army is not strong, but the enemy army has a Gundam!
The male fans of some female celebrities can drink a large bucket of bathwater, but what about male celebrities and beautiful female fans?
Aren't some things that you want to do naturally unfold?
Besides, it's normal for celebrities and fans to get together, isn't the king of milk tea coming together with his own Yoremi, and Duan Yu also has a little ambition with his fans......
The most ruthless, or the second brother Wang, born in seven or six years, met a fan wife who was only ten years old when he was twenty years old, watched each other grow up, and finally fished the cabbage home, and was not robbed halfway, which is really gratifying......
Of course, although there are precedents, this does not mean that Roland has to learn from the example!
What's more, these fans of his now are not mentally mature, and they want to be friends when they look at a handsome person, and one day, a guy who is more handsome than him appears, then he will have to be friends with Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf?
So, don't even think about this kind of thing when you interact with fans!
"Roland, what's wrong? Is it enough to be annoyed by those old classmates? ”
Just when Roland was wondering if James would be able to complete the difficult task he had given him and make those old classmates restrain a little, the familiar voice also came from behind him, "Seeing that you are gone, Lizzie wants to find you, I still asked James before I knew that you were hiding here." ”
When Elizabeth staggered to Roland's side and grabbed the corner of Roland's clothes with her fleshy little hands, Roland, who was thinking about things, directly threw the enthusiastic fans to Java, skillfully reached out her hands, grabbed the little guy's armpits, and sat directly on her lap, and with his movements, Elizabeth also giggled.
Glancing at the cute bun face, Roland looked up at Garnetty, "Yes, they're so enthusiastic......
"It's too much trouble......"
"Don't you like it?"
"Socializing with your peers makes you feel tired?"
After seeing her little daughter skillfully pulling Roland's buttons, Garneti also sat down, although she was asking Roland's thoughts, but she didn't mean to inquire, but looked into the distance, smiled and complained: "Oh, don't talk about you, I'm also annoyed enough, those parents are as enthusiastic as their children, they ask me vigorously, how do you educate children, but I obviously haven't educated you?" I'm just satisfying your preferences, and your grades have nothing to do with me......"
"But when I said that, none of them believed it......"
Garnetty's 'true' words made Roland laugh.
Yes, like those children who think Roland is so handsome after watching "Terminator 2" and want to be friends with him, those parents who accompany their children and go to appointments together also want to 'learn' some parenting sutras from Garneti.
Even if the twin daughters become the favorites of the Americans, the children they pick up casually can become the hottest child stars at the moment?
With the box office of "Terminator 2" exceeding 100 million, Fox, which has fully made up for Roland's growth process, also announced that it had acquired the IP of Iron Man and Hulk from Universal, not only that, but they also took the initiative to swallow Perelman's "X-Men".
Although this behavior made Perelman look confused, it was good news, so that the Spider-Man project that Roland and Cameron came out with was also announced, and when these explosive news came out one after another, the parents who came to the party today were a little uneasy.
In just one and a half years, Roland has completed a path that others can't reach in a lifetime?
And with those guys at the top of the pyramid, the deeper and deeper the entanglement?
The psychology of wanting to climb up together sprung up like mushrooms after receiving a party invitation.
In Los Angeles, maybe not everyone wants to make a movie.
But how many of the guys who can go to school with Roland and James are from simple families?
To put it mildly, when these parents found out that their children liked Roland, everything before was actually acquiescing.
In later generations, there are many people who say that the mysterious country of the ancient East is a giant baby country, young people gnaw at the old, and the children of America are independent, but the so-called "independent spirit" is just to deceive the common people, for the family, the elders use nepotism to place their children in prestigious schools and large companies, it is too simple, what is it to buy a car and a house, and even the military service of the cow can escape.
The spirit of independence they instilled in the people, telling those guys that they should live independently at the age of eighteen, that their children should move out and live on their own, that they have to pay their own rent, that they have to earn their own college tuition, and that sleeping at home is just silk, doesn't they want to cut off the upward channel of these guys? There are too many guys who drop out of school due to financial distress, and without a diploma, where does the competitiveness come from?
And when these families inculcate the concept of all these independent spirits, their children don't have to pay attention to independence, if they really let it go like those commoners, they will be laughed to death by the whole circle!
Six wallets to buy a house, in fact, is the big truth.
It doesn't matter if it's good or not, at least it's not deceiving.
Because of this, when James said that after moving his parents and Roland to make today's party, which guy could come didn't have ulterior motives? In the past, Roland's parents were killed, David's strength is comparable to them, everyone is not in the same circle, even if there is affection, it is a nodding friendship as light as water, and now......
The youngest 600 million male protagonist in film history!
A child who has stepped into the top social circle of Hollywood!
These two items alone have already thrown their business out of 108,000 miles! And if they know that the news released by Fox, Marvel, and the truck driver is the result of Roland's obedient and obedient hype, then these guys who come today may be even more crazy!
Regardless of whether it is a merger and acquisition god or a hedge fund boss, as long as you can follow them, the money will be the same as picking it up for nothing!
What kind of entity are they doing! Follow them behind the ass to pick up money, doesn't it smell?
Regardless of whether Roland is exquisite, left and right, anyway, these things are things they don't have and want to have, and in this case, at the party at Roland's house, if they are not eager, then who else is eager?
The children's love may be true.
But what about the adults......
It's hard to say!
What's more, in the case of foresight, all kinds of box office data are actually not attractive to him, because all the excitement has exploded as early as the moment he got the project, and after learning the inside story of the operation, the pursuit of these guys in front of him made him even more boring......
Why?
Because what they like is not the movie itself.
It's someone who can make a movie more valuable!
If you don't like me, then why should I have to talk to you?
Just like Roland can play crazy games with Spielberg, only this means of communication can be regarded as friends.
"Aunt Garneti, if you're tired, let's finish it sooner......"
Looking into the distance, the parents of the children who were eager to communicate, Roland, who was holding Elizabeth, patted the paw of the little one, signaling the girl not to gnaw the buttons of her clothes with her mouth.
For him, what to pursue, what to celebrate, is a troublesome matter.
If it weren't for James' love for this kind of occasion, and he seemed to be pursuing the girls in his class, Roland wouldn't have agreed to that little chubby dun and made such a celebratory party!
With this spare time, isn't it good to go out with three little loli?
What's more, when Fox agreed to his request, the contract for "Home Alone 2" was officially finalized.
Roland wants copyright, and Fox doesn't want to provoke Wall Street, since both sides take what they need, what is the point of signing the contract? Everyone is smart, and no one will drop the table on the fly.
"Finish sooner? Yes......"
"But this, you have to announce it......"
"After all, you're the host of today's party......"
Garnetty glanced at Roland, she could deeply feel that Roland's interest in Elizabeth even exceeded the entire party itself, but she could also understand that regardless of whether it was a box office figure or a popular one, all of this was just a quantifiable number, in addition to bringing great help to Roland's career, it would not actually make much change to his life, he still had to eat, drink, and sleep, everything had been arranged.
However, compared with those guys who are stared at by public relations every day, Roland is much luckier.
With his back to the mountain, no one will keep letting him run the announcement.
What publicity, dinners, parties, endorsements?
You can go if you want to, don't go if you don't want to go, take it if you want to, and don't take it if you don't want to......
As a product on the industrial assembly line, Roland doesn't have to worry about being squeezed by the brokerage company at all, let alone worrying about recording a show in the middle of the night, and as a result, the sudden death of no one cares about it.
Compared to other artists, he is lucky.
But it is precisely this kind of luck that has allowed him to gain a lot of eyes that should not belong to him.
However, no matter how tired he is, those people with ulterior motives will still exist!
Isn't this the same as when the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds?
So, when Roland heard that Aunt Garneti was going to put an end to what was in front of him, he patted Elizabeth on the thigh and said, "Oops! It's time for you to contribute......"
"Every time I hold you, you're going to tear my clothes."
"For your sake, I haven't bothered with you."
"But today, you've got to do me a favor"
