After Roland joined the group, he was modest and studious, and he asked the big guys in the group for advice on many problems in the circle.

After all, the memories in his head are all public information from his past life.

These messages can give him the superior vision that people think at the moment, but if he really refines the classification and deeply analyzes the entire industry, then he will be blind and don't know anything.

And the maze of those big guys' casual instructions can make Roland feel like he is open.

Among them, of course, the problem of character operation is included.

In fact, if it weren't for those special agreements reached by Chris Columbus and John Hughes, the protagonist of the project "Home Alone" would not have flowed into the hands of Roland, fifteen million business investment is not child's play, Chris Columbus and John Hughes don't dare to joke with Fox's money no matter how they have ideas.

As for the two men and the two women?

These roles are not something that can be obtained just by going through relationships.

Spending money on a corner is not going to happen here.

Because in the face of the capital industry chain, no one will have a hard time with their own jobs.

Of course, there are guys who join the group based on relationships, but those guys get small roles.

Take "Captain Hook" as an example, Gwyneth Paltrow did join the group as Steven Spielberg's goddaughter, but her footage was less than half a minute; And Sofia Coppola in "The Godfather" directed by his father, the total number of face appearances does not add up to more than two minutes.

The close people of these bigwigs can't get their hands on the leading role of the crew, and Roland can now directly skip the first two rounds of auditions, which is already a very good result.

To put it mildly, just the kind of resources in front of you can envy a vote when you release them.

When many people were fighting for the ticket to enter the door, Roland was directly born in the Destiny Circle.

Of course, just when Roland thought that it was director Chris Columbus who helped him say a lot of good things, or that director Howard's relationship gave him a head start, but these guys didn't want to put too much pressure on themselves and didn't say it directly.

Chris Columbus gave a different explanation.

"You think I recommended you?"

"Oh, Roland, you're so cute."

"Steven did tell us about Captain Hook before, but I didn't really think about it."

"Do you remember the 'Change' you played at the audition?"

"Actually, David Bowie was Steven's original choice for Captain Hook."

"This project was already established in 85 years, but at that time, Steven's eldest son suddenly came, and he didn't want to go to the UK to film in order to accompany his children, so he handed over the project to someone else."

And after Steven withdrew, David Bowie also refused.

"Because of this, this project has been delayed until now."

Yes, the song "Change" that Roland played at the audition for "Home Alone" according to the instructions of director Robert Zemeckis is the two casting directors who recall his roots.

In their opinion, Roland, who 'likes' David Bowie, may have more appetite for Spielberg.

No matter how Roland thinks about it, he will not guess that David Bowie may be his lucky star.

A song "Change" not only changed John Hughes's choice, changed Chris Columbus's mind, changed the fate of Macaulay Culkin, but also changed his Roland Allen's future......

"This ...... Really a great singer. ”

After listening to the information that Chris Columbus brought to him, Roland was full of emotion.

To be honest, if it weren't for John Hughes, Roland wouldn't have listened to each other's songs at all.

And now, when Roland finds out that all these big names in Hollywood seem to have a lot of respect for David Bowie.

His gaze naturally shifted to the other party's body.

After the play, Roland asked Mohami to carry him to an audio-visual product store and bought all the audio-visual products of David Bowie's debut since his debut, not only that, but the "Peter Pan" movie and video tape mentioned by Columbus before was also included in Roland's pocket.

After doing all this, the two continued to switch to the chain bookstore and bought books related to Peter Pan.

When Roland returned home with a pile of things, Garnetty, who didn't know what was going on, was startled by the sudden sight.

With his explanation, the family who learned what happened was even more stunned on the spot.

"Roland, can you repeat what you just said?" Garnetty suspected that her ears had misheard, "You said that Director Chris approached you today and asked if you would like to be involved in another film?" ”

"And this movie, in fact, is Spielberg's project?"

"You bought so many books and videotapes just to prepare for a new role?"

"yes......" Looking at the blank face, Roland felt that his neck was about to break.

Although he wanted to say no to calm everyone down, but—

You can't really lie about this kind of thing!

And with his answer, the exclamation abruptly arose.

James looked at Roland with a blank expression, and covered his cheeks with his hands.

“Damn……”

"Roland! What a great opportunity! ”

"If you are selected by director Spielberg, then you will definitely be popular!"

"When I go out, I can say that I am your Roland's brother!"

"Roland, you must come on, come on, I'll help you move things back......"

Looking at the eager figure, Roland wanted to laugh a little.

Although there seems to be a problem with James's focus, his words are correct.

There is no guy who is favored by Spielberg who is not popular.

Just a TV series "Band of Brothers", I don't know how many big names have been introduced.

This kind of project without his full attention has such an influence, and its star-making ability can be imagined.

Not to mention, if Roland wins this project, the box office fame is actually an incidental.

What really excites Roland is the possibility of breaking into the Jewish gang.

Of course, although he was directly stuffed into the final round by the two casting directors, this does not mean that Roland can rest easy.

You know, in Spielberg's project, no one can sway his opinion!

Not even if you're his dad! (See Note (2))

Therefore, when James helped Roland move all his things into the house, Roland, who closed the door, began a new round of preparations based on the information provided by Columbus: according to the information revealed by Columbus, Roland has to learn the British accent if he has time, in addition to understanding David Powe and "Peter Pan".

Peter Pan is British, and the storyline of "Captain Hook" is also linked to the British, and in this case, a fluent Oxford accent fits perfectly with the upper-class status of the lawyer's son.

Although this is a humble skill, or a Hollywood actor who doesn't know how to speak multiple accents, he or she can't go out and meet people, but if it is placed in the children's group, it may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Because, even in families that want their sons to become Chan, there are few pairs of parents who will emphasize this skill.

More people would rather spend their time on a series of skills that can be seen, touched, and demonstrated, such as ballet and piano.

In addition, many crews will select actors from different birthplaces according to the needs of the roles, for example, actors who need a British accent will directly select British, and actors who need a Texas accent will directly select Texans, in this case, the possibility of young actors learning accents is even smaller.

After all, for child actors, time is money.

And, according to what Columbus heard from those two audition directors.

Accent may become a focus of Spielberg's attention during the audition.

"Are you looking for a speaking teacher? Want to learn the upper-class Oxford accent and the working-class London accent? ”

"Okay Roland, I have to admit, you surprised me too much."

"I never thought you'd get this audition."

"As for the accent? What is the difference between this and an open-book exam? ”

"Don't worry, within three days, I will help you find a qualified speaking teacher."

"Depending on when you're shooting, they should come over and teach you in the evening."

Speaking of this, David suddenly paused, glanced at Roland's body a few times with an obscure look, and then continued: "However, before that, I want to ask, are you sure?" ”

"Can it be done at one time like the project "Home Alone"?"

"For the first time, I found out that it costs so much money to train an actor."

"Maybe it's because Ashley and Mary have never encountered anything like this."

Although David's words were full of complaints, Roland could hear that he was just curious.

Because Roland's situation is different from the state of all actors at the beginning of their fame.

Ashley and Mary became an instant hit, and after they became popular, they all received scripts starring in their true colors; And the situation of other actors is similar, in the early days of fame, no one will directly incarnate into a four-legged gold-swallowing beast like Roland.

The vast majority of people enter the entertainment industry, isn't it just for money?

If you can't make money, you still put money in it?

For the guys in the circle, this kind of behavior is not called investment at all, but brain-dead.

But Roland is different.

Let's not talk about the stealing master in the time loop, just the next film contract made David burn millions of dollars, and now, in order to participate in the audition for "Captain Hook", he has to continue to invest and continue to study.

This kind of behavior of only going out and not entering, if it were changed to an ordinary family, would have been PASSED a long time ago.

Want to act?

Want to get your hands on the project?

Make your own money!

For Roland, though, these are normal.

Skills are such a thing, you can learn it, and there is no such thing as a loss or a loss.

Even if the words are a little more ugly, the cost of learning skills is actually equivalent to spending money to buy opportunities.

It's like those rich kids who pay to go to Stanford, Yale, Southern California, if you learn that after spending money to learn one or more skills, you have a good chance of beating the other candidates and becoming a member of Spielberg's movie.

Even if the cost is tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars, some people will gamble.

Because it's a principal-protected deal.

Once the skill is learned, no one can take it away.

Next, whether you succeed or not, you don't lose.

Of course, the package ticket that David wanted to hear, Roland couldn't give.

Because he didn't know if he could make it.

The last time it was successful, it was because there was a time loop, and this time, who knows?

At the very least, after hearing about the project "Captain Hook", Roland was not dreaming.

Over the next few days, David did exactly as he said, and found Roland a speaking teacher.

Perhaps because the money had been given, David directly invited the accent correction teacher of Warner Bros. Audio-Visual Company, and when Roland learned that the middle-aged man with a stereotyped dress and a serious face had been staying in the West End of London to correct the accents of those theater actors, he was actually confused.

He finally understood how 'extravagant' the education of the rich was.

Not to mention one-on-one's home education, even the teachers have to be top-notch.

Roland didn't dare to ask David about the other party's salary at all, because he knew that according to the salary of "Home Alone", even if he went out to sell PG, he couldn't afford the other party's high salary.

And when learning from each other, Roland also discovered how spicy his language talent is.

"Oh, kid, you're a typical Californian accent, all the vowels are bitten like California oranges, the er at each end is half a syllable, and like all Californians, the main clause is in a declarative tone, but the adverb goes straight up, like a roller coaster that hasn't fallen, and you like to put the Like on your lips."

"However, the Oxford dialect is not like this......"

"To take the simplest example, while both Oxford and California accents pronounce vowels very full, Oxford accents usually precede vowels with a /r/ ......"

"And the London accent is to pronounce EI as AI, AI as OI, and I as EI......"

Too......

It's hard to get a special code!

Roland had only been in a class for a while, and he felt his tongue turn into a big curl!

What 't t in the middle and end of the word is not pronounced most of the time', what 'h is not pronounced', what 'the tongue is flat when the r at the end of the word is pronounced', etc., etc., etc. - the strange pronunciation habits even gave Roland the illusion that his CET-6 in his previous life was simply someone to take the test on his behalf!

Unfortunately, there is no solution to this kind of thing.

Even if Roland had a big head, he had to frown and continue to eat these things.

And when Roland took two hours out of his oral learning every night, this kind of high-intensity continuous practice also made the filming of "Home Alone" a little problematic.

Looking at Roland, who recited his lines in a strange tone, director Columbus frowned helplessly.

Get......

This guy is really hardworking.

But......

He's overexerting himself!

“Cut！”

“No Good！”

"Roland, come over here, you take my headphones and listen to it yourself."
