Chapter 42: It's okay to play a son! (Ask for recommendation votes)

"Director, is there something wrong with me acting?"

The sudden visit of Columbus made Roland, who was nested in the rest room and take a nap with his eyes closed, left him sleepy.

With getting along these days, he also has a deeper understanding of this young director.

Columbus was a Sven man, and even if something went wrong on set, he wouldn't be a roaring Führer.

Even if the performance of some actors really doesn't meet his requirements, he will sit down, point to the monitor, talk to others properly, and talk to them slowly.

It is precisely because of his good temperament that the entire crew has not encountered any major conflicts since the start of filming, and the only quarrel occurred on the day the Child Protection Association arrived.

"Did you have a problem acting? No, no, no......" Roland's worried face was cleared by Columbus.

It was very natural to pull out a chair and sit down at the same time, and the words of comfort also appeared.

"Roland, I'm not here for the movie lens."

"I have something else to ask you."

As he spoke, Columbus also glanced at Mohami, who was pretending to be stupid and trying to act as an NPC.

When the eyes fell on Mohami, the guy immediately picked up his things and left the common room.

With him leaving, Roland also went straight to the point and asked what was on his mind.

"Director, isn't there anything you can call me over? You don't have to come to me in person......"

Columbus shook his head and motioned for Roland not to dwell on such trivial matters.

"Let me ask you, who put in your resume when you auditioned?"

Uh-huh?

This question made Roland a little confused, like the second monk.

Roland remembers the audition vividly.

If it weren't for the sudden time loop, how could he have had a chance to get his hands on this project?

Although he heard a lot of useful information from Columbus in the time loop, under the banner of the Jewish gang, and took advantage of unlimited time to play all the scenes in the script during the audition.

However, after leaving the time loop, Roland did not continue to be a demon.

He never mentioned to anyone that he came in through Robin Williams' relationship, and he never told anyone that the reason why he was able to deal with every shot with ease was because Columbus's judging criteria had long been engraved in his chest, and he had never talked to anyone, and director Robert Zemeckis helped a lot in the process of obtaining this project.

Anyway, these guys don't remember the things in the time loop, Roland, who knows everything, just make a fortune alone, there is no need to make a big fuss, and he will make a fuss in vain.

Because of this, in the face of Columbus's question, Roland blinked his eyes and wondered: "Director, I don't understand what you mean...... Because Aunt Garnetty told me that this project was recommended to her by Director Howard. ”

If he can, Roland hopes that he can instantly comprehend the natural skill of 'cute and mixed up'.

After all, it is really very difficult to lie on the basis of knowing everything.

However, just when Roland speculated whether Columbus found something suspicious, the young director, after listening to Roland's words, directly abandoned the opening sentence and continued to ask: "What ......?"

"Did Director Howard tell your aunt that there is still a project that needs a ten-year-old child?"

What?

These words made Roland's eyebrows furrowed.

Didn't Columbus find out the problem and settle the score?

Director...... I don't understand what you mean. ”

"Let's be honest with you, it was just an accident that I learned about the Home Alone project."

"We knew that Director Howard and Mr. Robin Williams had a very good relationship, but we didn't know that Director Howard learned about the ...... of this project through Mr. Robin."

"Actually, after the film is made, there is a high probability that I will go back to school."

"First, it's because Aunt Garnetty and Uncle David didn't mean to help me find a project, and second, before the official release of this movie, few people should ask me to film."

"After all, if there is a problem with our film, then signing my crew now may be a blood loss."

The honest words made Columbus nod.

It is extremely difficult for newcomers to get ahead in Hollywood.

Everyone wants to be an instant hit, and everyone wants their debut work to be an epic masterpiece, but ...... When these newcomers get these precious opportunities, the risks and opportunities will coexist.

There is only one chance for newcomers, and if the first work of the protagonist hits the streets, what awaits them is Infernal Hell.

They basically have no possibility of turning over.

Because of capital, I won't use a guy who has been proven to be inadequate.

Hugh Jackman's "Van Helsing" pounced on it, and he couldn't get a good business book for a while, if it weren't for his "X-Men" series, it would be more difficult to become popular than to ascend to the sky; Tom Cruise's "Mission Impossible 3" died violently, but also because of the box office dividends and Paramount tearing beeps, in those years, his various black materials emerged in an endless stream, if it weren't for the fact that the "Mission Impossible" series really couldn't be replaced, he still wanted to get up again after provoking the Big Six? That's a dream!

In stark contrast to the two of them, that is Nicole Kidman, who does not have a fire series, even if she is a movie queen, she can't receive the book of the heroine of a commercial film; And Julia Roberts, after the new century, mixed with various independent films.

The fate of famous people is so miserable, let alone Roland, a guy who didn't even have a head.

It is precisely because of this knowledge that Roland can be extremely generous.

Some things are not in a hurry, rather than thinking about it, it is better to relax and play with peace of mind.

"Well, let's not talk about these future things."

"Your level is unknown to others, but I do."

"Now there is a project that needs a ten-year-old child, are you interested?"

Hearing Columbus say this, Roland naturally ......

No interest.

There is no other reason, because he has combed it before, and in the past few years, there have been no blockbuster children's blockbusters.

Unlike those natives who died after becoming famous, Roland, who has memories of his previous life, knows in his heart that those crazy means of monetization consume his own audience, and once the audience is gone, it will be abandoned by the market.

The Olsen sisters are a typical example of this.

Growing up on the screen, they are over-consumed by capital, and after the audience gets tired of watching it, they will naturally go downhill, and when they grow up, they will naturally get rid of the identity of child stars, and if they abandon this aura, children will not buy it.

Roland gave himself the standard, which was rather lacking than excessive.

If you don't have a good book, then only play the sequel to "Home Alone".

Anyway, with Mohami as a guarantee, he is not afraid that he will have no way back.

If you can't get a good project, then you will be idle.

It doesn't matter if he reads or does other things, anyway, he is not ready to live like a desperate Sanniang.

Eleven plays a year?

This is even more exaggerated than assembly line production!

Of course, Roland's thinking is also related to David Olsen's attitude.

Watching movies, watching football games, looking for tutors, and wanting to act......

As long as Roland's request is not excessive, the other party will be satisfied.

The relaxed environment is Roland's greatest capital.

With the support of the other party, he naturally doesn't have to worry about his livelihood like in his previous life.

However, although he thought so in his heart, Roland would not say what he really thought.

He looked at Director Columbus seriously, nodded and said, "Director, I believe in your vision very much." ”

"Since this project was recommended by you, then of course I'm interested in giving it a try......"

Of course, at the end of the words, Roland quietly added in his heart.

As for whether it was successful or not, then I don't know. ’

Roland's words also made Columbus very satisfied.

People kindly introduce you to the project, if you refuse directly, isn't that a slap in the face of others?

Seeing that Roland replied seriously, Columbus did not sell it, but instructed: "Since you are willing to go, then these days, prepare well, go back to your Uncle David, and let him buy you a copy of the Scottish novelist James Barry's novel "Peter Pan", and if you have the opportunity, go to see the 1924 Herbert Brenon film "Peter Pan" and the 1953 film "Peter Pan" ......"

"Good...... Huh? ”

Roland just wanted to nod in reply, but before he could hammer his head down, he was confused by the other party's words.

Peter Pan?

That Peter Pan who never grows up?

Which company invests in this film?

Why wasn't he impressed at all?

After all, "Peter Pan" is a world-class IP, and even the English dictionary has taken the initiative to include it in the entry, this fairy tale has influenced hundreds of millions of readers, even if it is a project that hits the street, as long as it has been released, Roland must have heard it.

For example, the animated film "Peter Pan" made by the activist demon Demon Mouse and their sequel "Return to Neverland", as well as Rachel Harwood's "Peter Pan", and Depp and Rousi's "Looking for Neverland", and "Dream Sailing" starring Uncle Wolf......

No matter how popular a movie is, as long as it is under the banner of Peter Pan, it will definitely not lose to others in the promotion of the film.

In this case, Roland remembers that in the nineties, there was only one film related to Peter Pan.

That's ......

The adult version of Peter Pan – "Captain Hook"

Went around and around, and it actually went around to his own recommender (Robin Williams)?

Thinking of this, Roland, who felt wrong, asked secretly.

"Director, the project you're talking about can't be a film directed by Mr. Robin and Spielberg, right?"

"The character you're talking about can't be the son of Peter Pan in the movie, right?"

When the slightly surprised words appeared, Chris Columbus, who wanted to continue to admonish, suddenly stopped.

He looked at Roland seriously, shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, and asked in a joking voice: "That's what you said, neither Garnetty nor David mean to help you find a new project?" This is what you are talking about Before the results of "Home Alone" are released, no one should ask you to film? ”

"You keep telling me that you don't have a goal, so now, how can you be so familiar with Steven's project?"

I'm ......

It's really "Captain Hook"!

Roland felt his head a little dizzy, and he felt that he might need oxygen.

"Captain Hook"!

Although this movie is one of Spielberg's works that has a bad review and is difficult to attract the attention of others, it is the most adult fairy tale that can bring tears to the eyes of middle-aged fans.

Peter Pan, a little boy who will never grow up, has finally grown up, and what will he be able to do when he returns to society and returns to normal?

The god in a child's heart was pulled back to reality by Spielberg.

Peter Pan will be tired by life, tired by work, and tired by family......

On the big screen, he is the truest portrayal of those fans who have heard fairy tales and grown up.

Although the film has a poor reputation, many people feel that this movie is ruining their childhood.

But it still won $300 million at the global box office.

Of course, for Roland, the $300 million global box office is not the point of the matter at all!

can only be ranked as the role of three men and four men, and he is not the real murderer of his dizziness.

What really thrilled him was Steven Spielberg! It's Robin Williams! It's Dustin Hoffman! It's Julia Roberts! It's Maggie Smith! It's Gwyneth Paltrow!

With Little Plum, Pete, Harley Harley Quinn, and Pacino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is the most luxurious lineup Hollywood has ever seen?

Fart!

Compared to "Captain Hook", that's a younger brother!

Hoffman who plays Captain Hook is a two-time actor, Robin who plays Peter Pan is the best supporting actor in the future, Maggie who plays the elderly Wendy has been sealed as early as 70 years ago, and won the best supporting actress in 79 years, and Wengnes, who plays the big-mouthed Roberts of the little fairy Jingle and the girl Wendy, will win the actress trophy in the future, not to mention, there is a director......

In his previous life, Roland commented on so many movies, and he never found a movie with a lineup that could be compared to this one.

The cast is simply scary, not to mention playing Peter Pan's son here, even if he asks Roland to make soy sauce and show his face in front of those big guys, there is no problem!

In an instant, Roland, who was still thinking about where to go to play during the holidays, directly threw his plan into the trash.

With this project in front, he's still having a good time!

At the same time, though, he found a problem!

It seems really difficult to let James take the blame!

In the case of good calculation, there will be sudden accidents, so in the case of unpreparedness, isn't it even more impossible to pit him?

Sure enough, the one named James was all wolves.

On their bodies, they have a buff that is immune to the black cauldron.

"Director, when is the audition? Tell me the inside story, and I'll be ready to prepare. ”

Hearing the straightforward words, Chris Columbus shook his head again and again, and he wanted to laugh when he looked at Roland, who suddenly became excited.

Three minutes ago, this kid was still breezy and calm, and now?

Excited as a Bi Ma Wen!

"Don't worry, don't worry......"

"As long as you're willing to go to the audition, you can go straight to the third round."

"That is, the final selection presided over by Steven himself."

What?

"Why?" Roland was a little puzzled.

Could it be because of the relationship between Robin Williams and director Howard?

If this relationship can be used like this, then he is too good, right?

Unlike movies like "Home Alone", which are all abandoned by film companies, Spielberg's movies are not something that can be entered by going through relationships, if he Roland can even go through this kind of crew, then he is still a fart!

Isn't it good to sit at home and wait for a book?

While Roland was conjecturing, Columbus gave the answer, "Do you remember the two casting directors who asked you questions at the audition?" They, like us, were cast for Francis many years ago. ”

"The two of them had an impression of you, so when they found out that they needed a ten-year-old child in the project "Captain Hook", they called me and asked me how you were doing on the crew."

"I told them about the fact that you had to shoot the skateboarding scene yourself that day, and then I took a box of copies and showed them it, and they thought you were fine, and we still had to shoot normally, so they put you in the third round."

Is that so......

The corners of Roland's mouth twitched slightly.

Although it is not an internal push based on director Howard's relationship, it is remembered by the royal casting director of the Jewish gang, it seems to be okay?
