Chapter 109: Roland's Concept of Love and 'Casual Patting' "Home Alone 2"

If Roland knew that the big golden retriever he had met during the day was wondering how to trick himself, he would only laugh like the big flower.

Although he liked to watch romantic movies very much in his previous life, whether it was "Sleepless in Seattle", which may have the Olson sisters added, or "Titanic", which stayed in Cameron's fantasy, or the innocent movie "Heartbeat", he was not so ...... Joy.

Compared with those movies that tell about faith, the love of the world, and the first love of youth, Roland in his previous life still liked "The Road to the Revolution" where "if Jack climbed the plank, then he and Ruth would gradually destroy the beautiful love", "Marriage in the world is varied, and after the enthusiasm dissipates, the means to maintain it is to wear a mask and play "Gone Girl" forever", and "alone is alone, not alive." The 'orthodox sequel' 'Marriage Story' to "Lost in Translation".

Yes, Roland likes the sense of life between Xiao Li Zi and Fei Wen, the distance between Big Ben and Pei Chunhua, and the competition between Scarlett and the old driver for love and power-

Because after being mixed in the circle, for him, it is better to discuss life than love.

And life, in fact, is just some trivial things.

Just like the guy who was robbed by the sect leader said, the crew husband and wife are too normal, if you don't breed emotions, then you still play a fart scene! And when Short and Tight, Huang Xiaochu and Zhou Gongzi were doing the show, the three of them were also accustomed to the 'true love of the crew', and when they were filming, they didn't look up and look down, everyone had a good image, if they didn't look at each other, they were sick.

Gotta get it done quickly.

In this way, two insiders with the same profession combine with each other, which is simply ......

It's not fun to talk to yourself.

No, Emma Stone found a director, Jennifer Lawrence found a gallery art director, Anne Hathaway's husband turned jewelry photographer for her, and Robert Downey Jr.'s wife has always been a producer......

Roland did confess to James before that he liked Elizabeth and Scarlett.

But is that love?

No kidding, okay!

In his previous life, Roland had never met anyone else at all, he was just greedy for other people's bodies.

Just like the guy who wants to drink bath water, Roland in his previous life also followed a lot of actresses on ins.

What Margot Robbie, Vanessa Kirby......

He watched it every day.

He never felt that he was such a noble guy, he, like everyone, was just a person who liked beauty, so after seeing Ivanka, he 'judged' her image in his heart.

Because of this, for Roland, in this chaotic circle, there is no problem at all with the formulaic idea of communication between Comrade Chuan Jianguo and the wolf king Carl Icahn, because everyone is actually the same kind of person - if there is a beautiful girl who likes him, then he will also try to understand the other party, it's as simple as that.

Everyone is working hard for fame and fortune, and if you don't care about it and despise all the hype and star-making methods, you will only have nothing to eat—not to mention, he himself has relied on the Olsen family and the Jewish gang to get up......

Pick up the rice bowl and eat meat, put down the chopsticks and scold your mother?

Isn't that fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter?

…………

Of course, the 'self-rescue plan' that Comrade Chuan Jianguo and Carl Icahn talked about could not be heard by Roland at all, and when plans A and B could not be carried out temporarily, Roland, who stayed in the Plaza Hotel to shoot and shoot, was very idle.

Because for him, it is not so difficult to play Kevin in front of the camera again.

As a sequel to a series, a sequel to a series manipulated by Wall Street, the actor himself breaks through this kind of thing, just think about it, it's not that Roland doesn't pursue progress, but there is no need to take other people's money to pursue his dreams.

Right! That's right!

Roland knows better than anyone that in "Home Alone 2", he only has formulaic performances - laughing when he encounters happy things, raising his eyebrows when he encounters nervous things, and rolling his eyes when encountering difficulties is even if he thinks of an idea.

What lies without changing color and without a beating heart?

I'm sorry, but that's to recite the lines with a straight face and the rhetorical tone required by the director.

What is running away from the hotel clerk when he is nervous?

Sorry, Roland's mind was empty while running.

What is smiling in the mirror and showing Kevin's cheap side?

I'm sorry, when filming this paragraph, in Roland's eyes, there was no drama at all.

Yes, when it took fifty-eight days to prepare this movie, all Roland did was look for formulaic expressions in the mirror, why? Because that's what everyone is responsible for!

As an investor, Fox doesn't need Roland to contribute a breakthrough performance in this movie at all, as long as Roland can restore the performance in the first part decently! Because they're just here to make money.

As a producer, John Hughes also didn't make breakthrough changes to the entire script, as long as the second part of the meme doesn't look so old than the first, that's enough! Because they're just here to make money.

As a director, Chris Columbus, he didn't make much changes to the use of lenses in the whole movie when he was filming, and he didn't have the idea of showing off his skills at all! Because they're just here to make money.

As for the sponsors?

As long as the production team can shoot something similar to the level of the first part, they are very satisfied!

Because they are just to make money.

In this case, if Roland pursues self-breakthrough in the sequel, he will really become a stupid beep!

When everyone is not emphasizing artistry, Roland would have jumped out and said, 'Director, I can play better!' 'Director, I think Kevin's relationship should be like this!' 'Director, I don't think it's reasonable to set up here, Kevin can't climb up the stairs through the chimney at all!' ’…… Isn't that against everyone?

It's not that commercial films don't need acting skills.

It's a commercial film, don't be demanding of top-notch acting skills.

If an actor plays very well, and the oncoming shiver can move everyone, then the movie is over, because the guy who plays you is estimated to be squeezed into Grandma's house by you!

It's okay if you're yourself!

But can you guarantee that the guy you're playing with will be able to catch the emotions you throw?

If you can't catch it, who will be responsible for the oncoming sense of separation?

If the scene is suppressed and it has to be remade, who will be responsible for the lost money?

Therefore, when acting in commercial films, especially sequels to commercial films, it is enough to perform decently.

Not to mention that his acting skills soared to the sky, the audience will be silent when they watch it, and the film critics will cry when they watch it......

That can only be the case!

I feel that I crush others with my acting skills, and I am a cow beep, but in fact, the guy who is racing is a stupid beep!

Because this kind of behavior is not responsible for everyone!

It's not a question of snobbery or not, it's a question of work attitude.

The filmmaker invited you to come to make money for them!

As long as you show the public standard, you are the most dedicated one!

Want to do your acting skills?

Go out and turn left and go for the independent films that no one wants to invest in!

It's there to make you soar all at once!

Don't have to be a bitch, but also set up a torii!

After getting paid for a commercial film, I'll do the business of a commercial film!

Think this scale is a blasphemy against the art of cinema?

Okay! Don't take money is the greatest respect for the art of film!

What's more, art and business are not in conflict in the first place!

As James Cameron said: 'Art films are commercial films that are well made.' ’

Since the advent of the Oscars, most of the best films have been given to commercial films, such as "Gone with the Wind", "North African Spy", "The Sound of Music", "The Godfather", "Rocky", "Forrest Gump", "Titanic", "The Lord of the Rings", "Slumdog Millionaire", ...... You can count them with your eyes closed.

And aren't these all well-made commercial films?

But the question is, does Home Alone 2 need to be filmed well, as Cameron said?

No, you don't.

So.

Normal level is fine.

Whoever works hard to act in this movie, whoever is special is stupid!

In this way, the whole movie was actually shot very quickly.

Roland took out Spielberg's commercial film requirements, and Chris Columbus also took out Spielberg's requirements, and the two of them were simply a couple, so they could naturally see if a shot could be shouted.

If there is no problem, no one will make up for it, and if there is a problem, the two will communicate and know where the difference is.

And with all the scenes in the Plaza Hotel finished, Columbus said regretfully while handing everything to the staff: "Oh, dear, I'm sorry you guessed wrong, Ivanka didn't show up again in the past week." ”

Yes, since the day he separated from Ivanka, Roland, who stayed in the Plaza Hotel to film, has not seen her - originally, Chris Columbus thought that Roland really knew any inside information, after all, Perelman and Carl Icahn were very close, but after not showing up for seven consecutive days, he 'knew' that Roland's previous words were just extreme confidence in his appearance, and now, it has overturned.

So, from then on, Chris Columbus made fun of Roland every day.

Not only that, but he also played Roland's self-confidence into a stalk, like 'the rich girl rejects the poor boy, and the public lover misses the opportunity to rise', 'The first child star is arrogant, and the wealthy girl is heartbroken and leaves'......

"Oh, Chris, I think if you don't become a director, you can definitely be the number one in the country if you become a journalist."

"You are a Mary Sue headline party, you can definitely stretch magazine sales."

When Roland looked at Columbus, who was not too serious, with a 'I'm serious' look, both of them laughed at the same time.

Although Roland's tone was angry, he was only joking with Columbus.

However, when it comes to Ivanka, Roland does regret it now.

At first, didn't you just hope to get more things from those bigwigs on Wall Street?

After all, in the case that Roland needs Carl Icahn and Comrade Chuan Jianguo needs Roland, whoever can't hold back first will suffer.

But the question is......

They were like—

Hold on!

This special code is a little uncomfortable!

Of course, even if he is uncomfortable, he will not show regret in front of Chris Columbus.

It's best to be able to hook up with Carl Icahn, but not ......

That can't be helped.

And after seeing Roland's deliberately 'unhappy' expression, Chris Columbus said, "Okay, no kidding, seriously, where are you going to spend the next two days?" ”

"Christmas Eve, Christmas, we actually have a day and a half off."

"Going to Times Square to see the fireworks?"

"Oh no, if you show up in Times Square, it's going to happen."

"Then go to my house and stay with me, the old man?"

"It's a small house, but I don't think you mind."

Yes, unlike the crew of "Terminator 2", "Home Alone 2" will not have a two-week holiday this year.

First, on the night of Christmas Eve, the whole crew needed to go to the Rockefeller Center Plaza to shoot the scene where Kevin and his mother met, and second, as soon as Christmas passed, Joe Percy and Daniel Stern would enter the crew to shoot the scene where the thief and Kevin battled wits on the streets of New York, so ...... The whole crew wants to rest from Christmas Eve to the end of New Year's Day?

That's impossible.

After all, no one wants to fly home on the night of the 23rd, and at noon on the 24th, they will fly back to New York to prepare for the evening scene, and then go home on the morning of the 25th and come back on the evening of the 25th......

This is not called a festival, this is called blind tossing.

After saying hello to his family, it became normal for the crew members to go out in pairs, but even if Roland had a good relationship with everyone, no one invited him to Times Square to watch the fireworks together.

You know, even though Roland only played a cameo role in "Captain Hook" for less than two seconds, Sony's promotional advertisements still attracted many children into the theater, and in the past two weeks, the America region alone has attracted nearly 30 million box office, and with the arrival of Christmas, this number will definitely rise.

In this situation, taking Roland to go shopping, isn't that unpleasant?

No one wants to suddenly hear a scream belonging to Roland Allen when they are shopping, and if those guys who watch the fireworks find out that Roland Allen is actually present, although it is impossible for everyone to like him, but a large part of the people pull him to take a photo, it is completely a thing that can be encountered.

In this way, going to Chris Columbus's house for Christmas is obviously a good choice.

This guy graduated from New York University, and after "Little Monster" made money, he bought an apartment in Manhattan, although the area is not very large, but it is no problem to accommodate a Roland.

"Okay, I'll go to you."

"I called back and asked, David is going to take them to Derebac for Christmas this year."

"No one will come to see me, poor ......"

Just as Roland was crying and trying to win Columbus's sympathy, the guy who had already seen him playing suddenly rolled his eyes, "Okay, okay, don't you know about me?" ”

"Didn't you tell them not to come to New York to spend Christmas with you?"

"Who can blame you for your own choices?"

Although the lie was exposed, Roland was not dissatisfied.

He shrugged his shoulders and motioned for his assistant to help him with his luggage, and then he pulled Columbus and walked out of the hotel.

After staying here for a week, he was almost suffocated to death, not because someone interfered with his filming, but after filming, many guys staying in the hotel liked to come over and ask for a group photo and autograph.

Of course, Roland will not refuse those who are either rich or expensive, and it is precisely because of the constant interruption that he actually prefers to stay in Columbus's small home, at least that way, so that the property can block people out.

And just when he pulled Columbus and wanted to go to his nest to have a look, he had just left the gate and was suddenly stopped by the uniformed staff, and at the same time, this guy also handed an invitation.

"Roland, Director Chris, our boss wants to invite you to tomorrow's dinner."

Uh-huh?

When Roland and Columbus saw the names on the gilded invitation, they immediately looked at each other.

Columbus's face showed surprise, and Roland smiled at the corner of his eye.

Sure enough...... I still can't help it......
