Chapter 52: A Different Kind of Fitness Training (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
In fact, to be honest, Roland is not averse to those professional training, after all, if you want to mix in this industry, there are many things that you must learn.
Take equestrianism as an example, whether it is Elizabeth Taylor's "Jade Goddess Pony", or later Clint Eastwood's "Dart Trilogy", or Spielberg's "War Horse", which tells the story of horse war, the horseback riding scenes in these movies are all real-life, they will not get you a fake horse to run on the track, and then let the staff wave the branches to create a kind of horse galloping illusion.
If you don't know how to ride a horse, then go and learn, if you get hurt, we will wait for you, but if you can't learn, then I'm sorry.
Because we have to say goodbye to you.
In the contract of every Hollywood actor, it will be clearly marked that after you sign the contract, what kind of skills do you have to master in how long, if you will before, the crew will only test it, and after confirming that it meets the standard, it will let you keep it well, but if not, the crew will also pay for a teacher to let you go within a limited time, if you don't complete it on time, even if you breach the contract, you have to lose money.
There is no way, the actor's contract is equivalent to a deed of sale.
During the contract period, the actors are under the control of the crew from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside.
Henry Cavill's beard is the best proof of this.
Million-level beard, that's rare in the world.
Of course, these rules and regulations are actually for the service of the work.
And the training before the filming of film and television dramas such as "Saving Private Ryan", "Band of Brothers", "Spy Shadows", and "Pirates of the Caribbean" are also to make these works better.
Under the constraints of the contract, no actor will say no, not even Tom Hanks, will comply with the requirements of the crew.
Therefore, after getting the schedule notified by the crew, even if Roland was surprised, he did not choose to fight, but went to the target to report on time.
Only this time, the guy who sent him over was David's assistant.
Mohami, who had been with Roland for half a year, didn't have time to care about him anymore.
After confirming that Roland won the project "Terminator 2", Mohami also calmed down and worked with his companions to tinker with the company.
"Is this it?"
When Roland, who was standing on the side of the street, looked up at the huge advertising signage.
The door with gold letters on a black background appeared in his sight, and not only that, but on the sign, there was also a bodybuilding logo.
In the face of his inquiry, the male assistant standing aside took out the form in his briefcase, and after scanning it a few times, he said in an affirmative tone: "Yes, this is the address on the agenda." β
"Then why is the door closed?"
Looking at the sign hanging from the inner doorknob with the words 'Sorry we are closed', Roland frowned.
It's daylight now, why is the door of the fitness club closed?
This question stumped the accompanying assistant.
Just as he pondered whether he should lie on the door, trying to peek through the glass and inside, when a fake thief who could eat a gun at any time, or took out his mobile phone and dialed for help, a figure suddenly appeared.
The uniformed staff opened the door and said to Roland with a smile: "Roland Allen? β
"Nice to meet you."
"I'm sorry to misunderstand you, because it's internal training, and during the training period, our gym will not be open to outsiders, so I will follow the boss's intention and hang up the sign of closure."
"Please come in, the boss has arrived."
WhatοΌ
In-house training?
Boss?
When Roland followed the other party into the gym, his mind kept repeating the words of the other party.
In order to shoot a movie, Cameron deliberately asked the crew to open a gym?
This seems a bit excessive, right?
Could it be that compared with Nolan's sideline corn farmer, the deputy job of the truck driver turned out to be the owner of the gym?
It's nothing more than Roland would think so, who makes the Hollywood guys more bizarre than the other?
If nothing else, let's talk about Leonardo, who likes to ride a bike.
If you don't get married, you will be a supermodel every day, what will be the result?
But it's a daughter slave!
The point is that little Loli Ruby was not born by himself, but by his friend Maguire.
Helping others with children can be excited to death, which really makes people doubt his motives.
And when Roland followed the staff up to the second floor with a strange idea, the sound of iron due to the collision of metal immediately attracted his attention.
Following the direction of the voice, a mountain of meat appeared in his sight.
"This is your boss?" Roland asked.
Although he didn't see the front, Roland had already guessed the identity of the other party.
The only one that can make muscles stick to the body like a rock is the T-800, except for Captain America's teammate Stone Man.
βYeahγβ The staff nodded, and after completing the task, he turned around and wanted to leave the place.
However, just as he went downstairs, he suddenly remembered something, stopped and instructed: "When our boss finishes practicing this group, you go up, don't disturb his rhythm, otherwise something will happen." β
The gym safety warning manual attached by the crew was read by Roland before he arrived.
Nodding without objection, the staff member in charge of leading the way disappeared with interest.
It seems to have heard their conversation, but it's more like the movement has been completed; Roland just looked around and casually looked at the venue, and it took less than three minutes before the future governor, who was sitting on the machine and stretching wildly, had already stopped.
Looking at the red-faced, like Guan Gong, with bulging green muscles, like a bearded strong man, Roland leaned forward very consciously.
He did not speak immediately, but picked up the towel placed aside, wrapped it around the other party's right hand, and then picked up the water bottle, opened the lid, revealed the stall inside, and directly sent the straw to the governor's mouth.
With a neat movement, the governor raised his eyebrows, and while opening his mouth to grasp the straw, he also raised his hand and touched the top of his head, "I didn't train to exhaustion, but, seeing you like this, you must have read the manual I gave you." β
Although the two only met for the first time and did not say hello, after hearing the governor's slightly brisk words, Roland shrugged his shoulders with a smile, as if talking to an old friend, and said directly: "I did read the manual, but I don't know, my fitness instructor is actually you?" β
That's right, when Roland found out that the owner of the gym was Schwarzenegger, he guessed the identity of the other party.
Ameriplus has countless fitness coaches, but for the crew of "Terminator 2", no matter who they invite, they are not as suitable as Schwarzenegger, compared with those coaches who need salaries, Arnold can easily take classes when he is training.
Of course, it is a bit strange to ask a guy like Schwarzenegger, who has been on the throne of Mr. Olympia seven times in a row, to give Roland a lesson, especially when this is still teaching in the case of occupying the other party's own premises, Roland is even more incomprehensible, the point is, the other party is still the fitness consultant of the White House......
However, before Roland could ask, how Cameron invited the other party out of the mountain, the governor, who had already taken the water bottle, tilted his head and was very interested in the fitness coach that Roland said.
"Coach, you say?"
"Oh, come on!"
"It was all a lie made up by James."
"You're only ten years old, just exercise normally, what kind of body are you doing?"
"He asked you to come over, just hoping that we could communicate more before the film started."
"In his words, it's 'Arnold! In "The Terminator", you only have seventeen lines, do you know why? Because as soon as you say your lines, I want to laugh! ββ
Schwarzenegger winked at Roland, not at all jerky when they first met.
And after hearing the other party's words, Roland was even more stunned for a few seconds, and then nodded with a smile.
Yes, Roland is growing taller at this age, he can learn anything, but he can't be crazy about iron.
If he practiced with the governor at his age, it was estimated that it would not be long before his body would have problems, and at that time, the fun would be great.
And the reason why Cameron arranged fitness classes for him was only to let him follow Schwarzenegger for proper exercise, and the rest of the time outside of the workout was for them to cultivate their feelings.
You heard it right, even two men, in Cameron's opinion, have to cultivate feelings.
Why?
Because the governor hasn't filmed an emotional scene so far!
From the first movie "Conan the Barbarian" that made him famous, to the later "Predator" and "Total Recall", the governor's acting skills have improved rapidly, the Austrian accent has been completely abandoned by him, and his tough guy style has captured many fans, but, so far, he has rarely tasted emotions on the screen.
Of course, the reason why the governor abandoned emotions may be due to his inability to control these scenes, or it may be related to his wife Maria, but no matter what the reason, the devil robot in "Terminator 2" must have a certain emotional outpouring.
This emotion is not with Sarah Connor, but with John Connor.
In the last scene of the film, when the T-800 falls into the molten lava, the raised thumb is the embodiment of human nature.
Before that, the adventures of the T-800 and John Connor were the process of transformation of both sides.
John Connor, who lives in foster care without a father, regards the Devil Terminator, who is controlled by the program and can only complete the master's orders, as his father, while the Devil Terminator from the future escapes the program and eventually goes to self-destruction.
The father-son relationship between man and machine cannot be explained in a few words.
Instead of yelling at two guys who have never dealt with each other when filming.
It's better to let them get along for a while and cultivate feelings before filming starts.
Of course, the cultivation of feelings before the start of filming is also the most common method in Hollywood - only for children.
The vast majority of children are unable to understand the emotions described by the director in a short period of time, so it is especially important to spend time in advance to let the children and the main actor get to know each other.
The most classic examples are Tom Hanks and Michael Humphreys.
In order to film "Forrest Gump", Tom Hanks deliberately got along with each other for a while.
The purpose is to learn the accent of the other party and understand the other person's movement habits.
Although Terminator 2 is just a commercial movie.
But in order not to let his billions of dollars hit the streets, Cameron must of course take every detail seriously.
And this is actually the fitness class that Roland wants to learn.
"Oh......"
"Is that so?"
"I thought I was going to be like you, practicing against these machines."
When Roland understood the cause and effect of the incident, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he came, he was furious at the thought that he might be able to develop a muscle stick.
After learning that he was classified as one of Spielberg's own, he didn't want to follow the path of Dwayne Johnson's special actor.
Although Johnson's performance of shaking his eyebrows is cool, and Uncle Wolf's beard and abs are super handsome, but-
Like them, maintaining a strong figure all year round is actually very physical.
After all, not everyone is a governor, and after heart surgery, they can still go crazy with iron.
More people are actually like Hugh Jackman, and when the pain hits, they will feel the pain of continuing to stay in shape.
"Of course not."
Seeing the little guy's relaxed and exhaling appearance, the governor, who had recovered, covered the water bottle and smiled at Roland, "Whoever I let me practice, I won't let you practice, if you become a 'tough guy', then I will be unlucky." β
Although the governor's words were very vague, Roland was able to understand what the other party meant.
Since he married Maria Schleiver and became a fitness consultant at the White House, he has stopped offending the Jewish Gang, and not only that, but the Jewish Consortium is the force he needs to fight for the most.
In fact, when he learned from Cameron how Roland won the role of John Connor, he gladly accepted the position of fitness trainer, because for him, with this identity, he could rub Roland openly and get into the crew of "Captain Hook" next door.
And this is also the real reason why he avoided saying hello and directly talked to Roland with a smile.
He wanted to get rid of the strangeness between the two parties as quickly as possible.
If Roland had been a ten-year-old, he might not have understood Schwarzenegger's words.
But nowβ
Even if he knew, he would 'subconsciously' ignore the other party's hints.
"Okay, so how do we cultivate feelings?" Roland digressed the subject.
"Anyway, we have three months, why don't we practice for a while?"
"I play football and basketball, but I haven't touched fitness."
"Oh, Roland, don't worry." Although Roland didn't follow the governor's words, he didn't care about the details.
Instead, he put down the water glass and said with a smile: "There is another person, who hasn't arrived?" β
"And one more? Who is it? Roland asked.
"Of course it's your mom in the movie, Sarah Connor."
"Linda Hamilton."
