Chapter 54 A gentleman is not different, and he is good at things (ask for recommendation votes)
From the beginning of June to the official end of all training courses in early September, the relationship between Roland and Schwarzenegger has met Cameron's expectations in just 90 days.
No way, who makes the gym the easiest place to bond with their peers?
Of course, the closed gym can't provide Roland with those beauties who specialize in leg training, and the most discussed between him and Arnold every day can't be these nonsense things, all the content is related to fitness, for example-
"Oh...... Roland, it's okay, the lines are already out......"
"Arnold, you can help me see if this deltoid muscle is normal."
"Roland, your posture is wrong, if you practice like that, your groin will be strained."
"It's okay, I have a smart groin, it regulates itself."
Whenever Linda Hamilton and her sister Leslie heard the ambiguous conversation between Roland and Schwarzenegger, they would always roll their eyes helplessly as they followed the process and completed the goal of the day.
Is the name of this gym called the Blind Man's Legend?
Although the two sisters are not guys who rely on their appearance to eat, they are also the only two opposite sex in the gym!
In this case, the two of you just come to say hello every day and then sit around and practice passionately?
This......
It's simply ......
If Roland knew what they thought, he would definitely slander him in his heart.
The guys who can be photogenic are actually not ugly.
But for Roland, fitness is actually more appealing.
Why?
Because after witnessing the process of Schwarzenegger teaching the Hamilton sisters, Roland immediately noticed a problem.
Actresses are different from male actors, they can't play with water guns with a beer belly, fitness is simply a daily life for them, so in this case, what if Elizabeth needs it after many years?
At that time, Roland, who was studying under the governor, would not be able to slap the table and shout like Zhu Wushuang, 'Let me come!' 'Is it?'
That's right, compared with the present, Roland cares more about his future.
Of course, the governor can't be with Roland every day.
After returning from the desert, "Kindergarten SWAT", starring Global Investment and Schwarzenegger, also entered the filming stage.
Asking the director to move the shooting schedule and take time to meet with Roland every week is already the biggest grace.
Moreover, Roland didn't have time to think about Schwarzenegger in his time outside of fitness.
The other teachers were more strict.
They don't have the same giggles with Roland as Schwarzenegger.
Keeping Roland up to the standard on time is the key to getting their salary.
In addition to studying, Roland has also done a lot of things in the past 90 days.
For example, his agent Samantha took him to the Screen Actors Guild and helped him through the whole process.
If Roland is still fighting alone, then he can wait for the release of "Home Alone" before making a decision, but the problem is that the situation is different, because regardless of whether it is "Captain Hook" or "Terminator 2", these are all projects that have been reported by the union, although Roland can also ignore the union, but the consequence of doing so is asking for trouble.
After all, Roland is not Woody Allen.
Even if people don't trade unions, the union doesn't dare to do anything to him.
But is Roland a little kid?
In Spielberg's absence of public acknowledgement, he, who has met the standards but does not join the union, is likely to be stumped.
Of course, joining a union also costs money.
The entrance fee of 1,500 dollars almost didn't make Roland call for money.
Many people think that joining a union is equivalent to security, but for Roland, this statement has a strong duality - only a guy who goes with the flow and is at peace with the situation will think about the union to speak for himself, and a real boss like Spielberg, what problems can the union help him solve?
Before the union could make a move, the people had already finished talking about what they should take and what they shouldn't take.
In addition to joining the union, Roland also went to the cinema to watch movies with Garnetty and them in his spare time, and paid attention to the box office market in the summer.
On June 1, "Cosmic Dragon" starring Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone was officially released, and during the traditional three-month screening period, the film cut 260 million at the global box office; Previously, Charles, who won "Captain Hook" and gave "Terminator 2" to Roland, also presented works, the "Supreme Detective" with Warren Beatty, Al Pacino, and Madonna, in three months, won 160 million global box office, although this number was turned into scum by the governor's works in seconds, but its cost, after all, is only 47 million.
However, compared with "Cosmic Dragon" and "Supreme Detective", starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, "People and Ghosts Are Not Over", which was released on July 13, is the biggest winner of the summer file, with a cost of 22 million and a box office of 217 million in North America, which directly made it the North American box office champion this year, and after getting the prediction of the global box office of more than 500 million made by major analysts, many experts even asserted that "Human and Ghost Love" is the global champion this year.
In their opinion, there is no film that has the ability to make an impact on it.
"Love beyond life and death, undying love, is something that many young people yearn for, and the hug and kiss of Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore is definitely the most romantic love moment in the history of Hollywood films."
"This film not only tells us a warm and romantic love story, but also presents us with an audio-visual feast, I love the song 'Unchained Melody', I love this story."
""The Ghost Is Not Done" will be the best film of the year! Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg both have a chance to hit the actress and best supporting actress! In addition to brilliant love, suspense and crime are also the highlights of this movie! β
When Roland looked at the entertainment section of the "Los Angeles Times", the film review writers who spared no effort to write the beautiful words, the corners of his mouth appeared a smile of emotion.
Of course, he has commented on the movie "People and Ghosts", and the classic picture of the hero and heroine playing clay has been imitated by later generations, and the theme song "Unchained Melody" has been covered by major singers, and its influence has made this movie once known as the greatest love story in film history, until the unsinkable ship was born.
However, even if this film is described by the media as rare in the world, in 1990, it did not win the annual crown of that year, and the North American box office performance of 210 million was trampled on by the whistle "Home Alone", and the proud global box office of 500 million was also overshadowed in front of the Guinness World Record of 533 million.
Of course, the history of memory is not the reason why Roland laughs.
The approaching release time is not the key to Roland's excitement.
What really allowed him to deal with the news with a calm mind, and firmly believe that he could emulate Macaulay Culkin, beat "The Ghost Is Not Over", and even surpass the other party, was not the time loop, the more than 100 days of repeated rehearsals, nor the good news of post-production revealed by Chris Columbus at the party before, but the invitation to the premiere of "Goodfellas" given by Joe Pesci, and-
Arnold Schwarzenegger's counterpart.
In the previous life, who was the publicity hotspot of "Home Alone"?
is Joe Pesci, who hit the Oscars again with "Goodfellas", Daniel Stern, a well-known supporting actor who has mixed up in various movies, Chris Columbus, the screenwriter of "Little Monsters", and John Hughes, a master of American youth films......
Yes, everyone can be the publicity point of the film, but only Macaulay Culkin cannot.
Even if Macaulay started acting when he was four years old, before the movie was released, his popularity was about zero.
If Roland only had the movie "Home Alone", he didn't go to the audition for "Captain Hook", and didn't win the project "Terminator 2", then his current situation would only be a little better than Macaulay.
Fox may use 'a child adopted by the Olson sisters' to hype up the heat, but more often than not, Roland, who has no topicality on his body, will be an idler with nothing to do, just like Macaulay.
But now, everything has changed.
Why did Roland desperately want to win the project "Captain Hook"?
Is it because he wants to hug Spielberg's thigh?
Of course, there are also such thoughts, but in the final analysis, it is because he does not want to be a useless person.
The uselessness here is naturally from the perspective of the publisher.
In fact, the promotion and distribution of the film does not have to worry about the actors, more often, they only need to cooperate with the distributor, and as a movie invested by Fox, "Home Alone" cannot be launched silently, but-
This is just the most traditional approach.
Because if there is really no topic on the actor, the distributor will not be able to hype and promote.
Direct promotion starring Roland Allen?
Who is Roland Allen?
The audience doesn't know each other, they will only be confused!
Because of this, Roland wanted to find a way to create a topic for himself.
In later generations, the behind-the-scenes teams of many artists will set up various personalities for artists.
This kind of character design is actually the content of each announcement and the focus of the topic created for external public opinion.
But speculating on people requires a large number of water armies, and it is not applicable before the development of the Internet.
Moreover, in this era, the publicity gimmicks of traditional media and the focus of fans from all walks of life are still excellent works.
That's why Roland desperately wanted to catch the other party after learning about the project "Captain Hook".
Because, the future works are also the capital of publicity!
It's true that people don't know who Roland Allen is, but they know Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron!
Roland Allen, who starred in Home Alone, was a young actor who was personally chosen by James Cameron?
Will he work with Arnold Schwarzenegger to co-star in "Terminator 2"?
The two of them attended the premiere of Goodfellas together?
In this way, won't the topic and popularity come out?
To put it mildly, the topic of the governor and the truck driver can already hammer the entire "Home Alone" crew, and this is also the key to Roland's hope that the governor can attend the premiere of "Goodfellas" with him.
For the governor, this is an opportunity to hook up with the Jewish gang.
For Roland, this is an opportunity to step on all the actors of the same age.
Schwarzenegger wants to pave the way for his career, and the crew of "Terminator 2" dares to bet on the post-announcement.
That Roland, naturally, will not treat himself badly.
A gentleman is not different, and he is good at things.
He still understands this sentence.
As for how to monetize the topic?
Then this kind of thing is not in Roland's hands.
He believes that the professionals at Fox will come up with countless ways to turn the topics they send into beautiful knives.
He believes that no matter whether it is the investor Fox, Cameron or Spielberg, he will fall in love with him.
After allβ
He's funny.
He won't be like those young people, full of art.
He knows what makes these bigwigs stand tall in Hollywood.
Is it the kind of inspiration that will go down in history?
No.
It is a box office that is loved by all capitals.
It's the green Franklin.
It's money.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After the training session ended, in the TV news 'Desert Shield' broadcast, Roland quietly waited for the arrival of September 18, when he appeared in front of Schwarzenegger wearing a specially customized suit and leather shoes and a bow tie that David sought a tailor shoemaker, the other party's gray suit and black tie directly made Roland laugh.
"I'll be honest, I think you're still more handsome in a jacket." Roland made a stern face and commented seriously.
"If it weren't for the fear of grabbing headlines, I would have preferred to wear short sleeves on the red carpet." The governor rolled his eyes and raised his hand to unbutton his coat.
"Oh! Come on! Now that you're here, you're bound to make the headlines tomorrow. Roland looked at each other with a smile, and as he spoke, the two also walked into the elevator.
"Aren't you the same? Why, are you afraid that the heat is not enough, so why don't I carry you later? Schwarzenegger's head tilted slightly, and while looking at Roland condescendingly, he also smiled and showed his two rows of white teeth.
The words were loud and easy, and if Cameron was here, he would definitely be happy about their relationship.
But for them, these words are just a way to decompress.
Because they were flying together on the same flight from Los Angeles to New York.
They sat in the same car and stayed on the same floor of the same hotel directly opposite the door.
Later, it will have to be at the same time.
Regardless of whether it should be said or not, both of them are already on the way, and they are finished.
"Nervous?"
When the two walked out of the hotel and sat in the limousine of the extended Lincoln, Schwarzenegger looked at the imp next to him with concern.
In the face of his inquiry, Roland, who had been silent for a long time, responded with a shrug.
Nervous?
Of course.
How could he not be nervous?
Because he knew in his heart that the moment he got out of the car, the previous comfort would be gone.
As the theater sign gets closer and closer, and the voices of the boiling people jump in his ears, the real Hollywood will open the door for him.
"It's ......"
As the vehicle stopped, Roland whispered in response.
And just when Schwarzenegger nodded slightly, the door on his side was also opened by the staff.
The earth-shattering scream drilled into the eardrums, Roland turned his head and smiled at the other party, after getting his idea, the governor, who was already holding a reciprocal mentality, did not hesitate and leaned out of the car, at the same time, he did not stand still and waved, but walked quickly to Roland's side and opened the car door for him-
Looking at the big rough hands covered with calluses, Roland happily shook each other.
And when Roland jumped out of the car with the help of Schwarzenegger......
The surging sound had completely drowned him out.
'Hollywood, I'm coming......'
Roland said a silent sentence in his heart, and then he stood with Schwarzenegger with a smile that he had been training for a long time.
