Chapter 11 A Good Helper? (Ask for recommendation votes)
Forever locked up on the same day?
Repeating what you already know?
You want to change, but you can't help it?
After briefly imagining Roland's current situation, David shuddered.
"Did it be me and Garetti who hurt you?"
David, who returned to his seat, was a little weak-hearted, he just wanted to help Roland get normal.
If he had known earlier that Roland's transformation had nothing to do with his deceased parents, and was all about predicting the future, then he would definitely not consult a psychiatrist indiscriminately, but would have sent Roland to Arkham directly.
Are you kidding! The devil believes that you can predict the future!
If it weren't for Roland directly putting the evidence in front of David, if David hadn't taken the initiative to throw out the proof that he trusted Roland the most, Sarah Connor, who was fed medicine every day, might have been Roland's fate.
Of course, Roland didn't know that David was just superficially serious.
If he could sense David's brain hole, he would definitely be more relaxed than he is now.
Analogy with the plot in film and television dramas?
The two of them have a common language!
"It's not harmful."
"Although, if it wasn't for this project, I wouldn't be in the time loop."
"But it's better to get in than not to get in, you say?"
"The time loop can make me strong, although at the same time, it can also cause me endless trouble."
Roland jumped off the couch and pulled back the chair next to the table, wanting to meet David face to face.
"In the previous time loop, you helped me gather a lot of information."
"One of those things was the key that prevented me from getting that role."
"Project producer John Hughes has actually chosen the leading actor for the film, and this audition is just a formality."
"In the case of internal decision, I can't pry this role at all."
"In the previous cycle, John Hughes didn't speak to me at all at every audition."
"Do you see what I mean?"
After so many years in the business, how could David not understand the meaning of Roland's words?
It's really troublesome to set this kind of thing.
But—
"It's troublesome, but there's definitely a solution, right?"
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have used winning the audition as a breakthrough out of the time loop."
"Since this is the case, then we have to determine the goal first, who is this breakthrough?"
"Although the producers are the crew leaders under the Hollywood film industry system, they can't afford the investors; If it is an overseas investor, of course it can be deceived and fooled by the other party, but now he is facing, but Fox, do you think John Hughes dares to blatantly deceive Fox? Fox, who is backed by News Corp., has countless ways to rectify him. ”
Although David has never been very kind to his wife's behavior of letting his children film, for the sake of his two lovely daughters, he still did a detailed study of the local Hollywood - he knows that Hollywood is a producer-centered system, and he knows that there are countless unknown tricks in the Hollywood crew.
Producers are indeed the bosses of a film project, but they actually work for investors.
The producer of Niu Bi can indeed be on an equal footing with the investor, and can even slap the table to ask for money, but in the end, the guy who can lead a project is still the investor.
The "Avatar" of later generations has a scary high investment fund, and even James Cameron has paid for shares out of his own pocket, but what? The knife that finally divided the money was still in the hands of Fawkes. Fox entrusts its parent company, News Corp. and Fox Television Network, to carry out paper media, offline advertising, and cable network publicity, isn't this kind of behavior a clear way to tell the world that Lao Tzu is on the left hand and on the right hand? Producer and director James Cameron doesn't get as much money as it does on paper, but - is it shouting?
No.
It's the same with Harry Potter.
Do you all want to share?
No problem.
The contract will be signed for you as it is.
Regardless of the box office, it will end up with a paper loss.
What the?
You say it's greasy?
Speak with evidence!
Unless it is like Warner, who wants to take back the operating rights of the new line company, otherwise, how can it happen that the box office revenue of the "Lord of the Rings" series is fraudulent? No matter how bold the producer and director are, it is impossible to resist these film companies openly, Peter Jackson is just asking for money in the end, if the matter is really provoked by him, how can Warner, which owns the vast majority of the shares of New Line Films, continue to cooperate with him and make "The Hobbit"?
This kind of thing does exist in Hollywood.
But for local investors, this is actually very ridiculous.
James Cameron quarreled with Fox more than once because of whether to use Leonardo when filming "Titanic", Tom Cruise Before getting "Mission Impossible", Nicolas Cage, Mel Gibson, and George Clooney were actually on the producer's invitation list.
"In Hollywood now, how many guys can tell investors that this role is not used?"
"John Hughes, anyway, won't be on this roster."
"Unless John Hughes promises that the project will make money, signs a gambling contract with Fox, or promises Fox that he will make up for the final shortfall after the project fails, there will be no 100% determination at all."
"The reason why Fox invests is to make money, and the producer is in control of the overall situation, but it doesn't mean that he can do nonsense."
"Now that we've established before, taking this role is the key to getting you out of the time loop."
"Then there must be a way to solve this matter."
"Don't worry, let's go downstairs for breakfast, and when we eat it, I'll ask Ganetti to ask you for news."
David looked at Roland very confidently, and he didn't doubt it at all, the cooperative analysis that Roland said was actually the result of his own stuffy work, and Roland was even more relieved after seeing David's calm expression.
He felt that David might be his good helper.
Although he has memories of his past life, he has not been in Hollywood after all.
He can judge the success of a project from memory, but if he digs deep into the shadows, there will certainly be no natives.
What's more, David is a businessman after all.
In the world where sharp words are at the head, his thinking is definitely different from Roland, who fought petty in his previous life.
Maybe it was a clear goal, or maybe it was David's response that rekindled the flame of hope for Roland, in short, Roland still ate with relish in the face of the same meal.
At the dinner table, David also asked Ganetti about the project overview neatly.
In the face of this sudden problem, Garneti was also blinded and didn't know anything.
"My dear, our original goal was not to let Roland join the group to film."
"We just want to use this as a means to let him relax."
Looking at his slightly puzzled wife, David didn't explain, but said with a smile: "However, Roland is interested in filming now." ”
"Since he has a goal, then of course we have to give it our full support."
"So, you're going to ask them again?"
Seeing that her husband didn't mean to laugh, Ganetti glanced at Roland, who was full of anticipation, and nodded knowingly.
"Then you'll go to the audition later."
"The guy who told me the news is the director of "Full House of Youth", and when Ashley and Mary go to filming, I can just go and ask him, if there is any news, I will tell you at night?"
Hearing this, David and Roland looked at each other, and they had no objection.
Anyway, Roland has time, he didn't say anything today, and he can still continue tomorrow.
In addition to getting up every day, he had to explain to David again what state he was in.
Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be much to worry about him.
After breakfast, I habitually came to the set of Fox.
Under Roland's introduction, David met his 'old friend', Leslie.
When David revealed the identity of the Olsen sisters' father, the middle-aged woman who didn't want her son to communicate with others suddenly had a 180-degree change in her attitude, and Roland, who had decided to try to get rid of Macaulay, also heard the content of the other party's audition from Leslie's mouth.
"They first asked me to introduce myself."
"Then they asked me if I liked watching movies and television, and I said I liked it, and they asked me what TV movies I liked and what skills I would have."
"I said I could play the violin, so they found me a violin."
"When I was done, they asked me about my family and let me out."
Hearing this, Roland raised his eyebrows, "You mean, during the audition, only those two aunts communicated with you?" ”
"Yes, the other two uncles, neither spoke." Leslie nodded decisively, looking frustrated.
After hollowing out the other party, David, who had been listening, also leaned to the right and asked, "How is it?" His process, the same as yours? ”
"Yes, even the problem is the same." Roland shook his head with a wry smile.
"Streamlined operations? Mechanized questioning? It seems that this quota has really been decided. ”
David touched his chin and felt that something was wrong.
Audition audition, don't even face the camera?
That's a fart audition!
Although I wanted to vomit, I still held back.
When it was Roland's turn, even if he changed the content of his answer, the result remained the same.
The suffocating operation made the two guys, one big and one small, a little helpless.
However, this dull mood did not last long.
When they returned to the Universal set and picked up the Olsen sisters, who had already finished playing, Garnetty got into the car and threw an envelope to her husband in the driver's seat, "Look at your appearance, you should have failed?" ”
"Don't be frustrated, because this project is inherently problematic."
