Chapter 104: Seattle and the Influence of Status
To be honest, if it is replaced by the premiere of other films, the organizer will give Roland fifteen tickets, which is obviously a lot; Because an auditorium can seat hundreds of people at most, and if you don't invite more celebrities and film critics in a limited number, isn't that a fuss?
But—
The guest lineup of "Captain Hook" doesn't need the organizers to worry about it at all.
Spielberg's movie is released, and his three old brothers will definitely come to cheer, plus his and Lucas's apprentices, as well as Francis and Martin Sr.'s students, the big names on the red carpet are like jumping out like no money.
Clint Eastwood has to give his brother-in-law face, right?
Jack Nicholson has to save face for his classmates, right?
Tom Hanks has to give himself Bole face, right?
The red carpet guests of "Captain Hook" are much more luxurious than the Golden Globe lineup that Roland participated in a few years ago, and if you put the premiere of "Terminator 2" in the summer with it?
Maybe there are only the number of film critics, which can be compared.
To put it mildly, in the past year, Roland's exposure far exceeds that of everyone at the moment, with the blessing of box office results, his name can be on the front page of major news with a headline, but compared with these guys in front of him who control seventy percent of the resources in the circle, he can sing "Nothing" like his national father-in-law.
What Roland has, which of these guys doesn't?
What Roland didn't have, they had too.
In this way, when Roland and the Olsen sisters stepped on the red carpet, the treatment he enjoyed was far less intense than when he appeared on the red carpet in "Terminator 2", in other words, even if many reporters wanted to know how Roland appeared on MJ's MV, but in order to take care of the emotions of other bigwigs, their behavior was much more restrained.
And in the face of those restrained media, Roland is even more comfortable, and the fifty-meter red carpet is over in one minute.
The reason why the blanket star is called the blanket star is not to rub the red carpet to lift the coffee seat?
This simply doesn't apply in Hollywood!
Not only that, but there are a bunch of bigwigs waiting to go behind Roland, and if he doesn't go down, isn't that unpleasant to others?
Although those guys won't bother with him about these little things, but if they have the leisure time to live on the red carpet, it is better to pull Aunt Garneti and recognize people more! Besides, Mohami and Nedhan's guys can't walk the red carpet! They entered through the side door with an invitation, but they were still waiting for him in the lounge!
After meeting with these guys, Roland fulfilled Niedham's wish and took him to greet the bigwigs, and as the news continued to spread during the filming of "Captain Hook", these bigwigs also welcomed Roland's arrival with a smile.
"Oh! Roland, this is the first time we've met! ”
"yes, of course I've seen both of your movies, and they're doing well."
"Who do I like the most, you ask? Of course a tough guy like me likes you to play John! ”
"Hold one? No problem! ”
"Steven told me that you are similar to me and have the potential to change careers."
"He originally wanted you to go to my "Unforgiven" crew to study, but after thinking about it, I still refused, there is no need for you to watch a western film that is half buried in the cemetery......"
"You don't mind? Well, if you have time in the future, you can come to my crew at any time. ”
"Oh, what kind of Internet database is this what Steven is talking about?"
"Signature? OK...... No, I don't know what you're working on, but he told me about it. ”
…………
"What? Do you like Mike Murphy? ”
"Oh, Roland, don't joke with me, okay?"
"The last time I had dinner with Al, he told me, you guy, but you're very 'promiscuous'!"
"You said to his face that you liked Sonny, but you turned your head and told Francis that you liked Michael Corleone, and I've heard of your ability to see everyone, so-"
"I won't fool you."
"Okay, okay, just kidding."
"James's "Terminator 2" was very well filmed, and you played it very well."
"I heard you learn everything? You also directed the children's group scene in "Captain Hook"? ”
"Then I'll see how you shoot later."
"Don't worry, take a photo and go!"
"Did you secretly show your sister 'The Shining'? Why else wouldn't they come near me? ”
…………
"Roland? I'm so happy to see you too! ”
“Oh! Ashley and Mary? I'm sorry, but I watch your TV series, but I don't recognize who you are. ”
"Yes, I like you."
"Before watching "Terminator 2", I originally wanted to ask Roland to play Jonah in "Sleepless Nights in Seattle", which is my son, but after watching "Terminator 2", I thought you should play "Jurassic Park"."
"That movie is better for you than Seattle."
"What? Change a little boy to a little girl? ”
"Hmm...... I'll have to ask the producer about this first, but if the two of them can, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”
"Yes, yes, they told me that you are not confident in your acting skills, and you always feel that you can still improve."
"It's okay, when your "Jurassic" is finished, go straight to my "Philadelphia Story" group."
"I'm not a teacher, but I can tell you what I think."
"Of course, you can also let Martin teach you, but they are real teachers, the kind that NYU gets paid!"
…………
Roland is actually a very down-to-earth person, and when he attended the premiere of "Terminator 2", he found the whole process very boring, because the guys in the room were basically editors of various media outlets, or film critics with columns in major newspapers, and they couldn't do anything but tout your movie.
Just like the forty thieves who can say that the sesame seeds open the door, don't their characteristics already reflect the urine nature of the media to the fullest? acquisition of media and control of communication channels; Am I wrong? Do you have a chance to say?
The characteristics of the goose factory are also similar, with heavy support for legal associations and support for the development of upstream and downstream courts and their institutions; Am I wrong? You can tell! But be careful, I sue you!
Dealing with those media that can be controlled with money, Roland really can't arouse the slightest interest, but now? Peers in the circle have more common topics with him, and you can also say that he is pulling relationships in a snobbish manner, but-
Since everyone is here, if you don't go around in a circle, are you worthy of such a good opportunity?
Roland never felt that he was a saint, all his efforts were to seize opportunities, and since these guys were right in front of him, if he didn't go up and say a few words, how could he know what was going on in a time that he didn't understand?
The crew that almost made it to Eastwood followed this old dart player?
Pacino has already sold his 'old bottom' to Nicholson?
Hanks, this guy is ready to be his own teacher?
That's all there is to Roland! Not to mention, Hanks is willing to ask the producer of "Sleepless in Seattle" if he can change the image of the boy in the film.
The movie "Seattle" has a bad reputation in the future.
But this kind of romance film about fate can always capture the hearts of those young men and women!
A Mary Sue-like love story can never lack a market, but as a love movie, it can allow the male and female protagonists to reap more than 200 million global box office in less than three minutes at the same time, the kind of depiction of divine will, depiction of fate, and depiction of faith, so that those who have a fanatical love for religion are willing to pay for tickets!
And religion and belief, almost everyone in America has it.
For this reason, exactly as it is written in the Gospel of Luke, 'I tell you again, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For whoever asketh receives; He who seeks, he finds; and he that knocketh shall open the door to him. The idea of "Seattle" is destined to gain people's love.
This is also the reason why the Chinese version of Downey will only be scolded for having three wrong views after copying out "** Meets Seattle".
The original film is obviously about faith and love, but what did he copy out?
It is a trip to the American confinement center for the second mother.
Of course, that plagiarized copy has nothing to do with the current Roland.
Now he only knows that if the children in "Seattle" can switch genders and be taken down by the Olsen sisters, it will be very beneficial to them - the role of the little boy in the original book is so likable, and all the efforts made for the love of his father will definitely make the sisters, who are already eating in the TV circle by selling cuteness, more popular with sister fans and mother fans.
If you don't have resources, isn't that stupid?
As for matching?
A hundred small-budget independent movies don't want to be worth a hit!
What's more, "Seattle" has Hanks and sweet sister Meg to carry the box office, and the Olsen sisters only need to be responsible for the icing on the cake, and they can achieve success in the simplest way, so don't be stupid to tinker with other projects that may fail!
However, this is just Roland's casual mention in front of Hanks.
As for whether it can be done, he himself doesn't know.
However, when this guy Nedham followed Roland and circled around the venue, he admired the almost twelve-year-old kid next to him more and more. Looking at the 'heavy' autograph book in his hand, Nedhan sighed with emotion-
I have seen all my favorite actors and directors today.
Before he came, he never thought that he would be able to take a photo with them!
"Thank you very much, meeting them is a dream I've been hoping to achieve since I was eight years old." When everyone was about to enter, the founder of IMDb, who was shaved and glasses, dressed as a programmer ape, hugged Roland with a smile.
"Oh, Cole, don't be so polite......"
"Everyone is friends, help each other!"
"Steven, I'll be taking you there after it's over, maybe only for a while, because I'm flying to New York on the 10th."
Roland smiled and shook his head, and the indifference in his words made Nedham deeply agree.
For a 'little person' like him, he is already very happy to be able to follow a big star like Roland for a premiere, not to mention communicating with Spielberg for a while, even if he can only shake hands, he can also fulfill the dream of "Jaws" back then!
…………
And when Roland came to his seat, sat down at ease, and felt the harmonious atmosphere around him, he dared to say that this was the most comfortable premiere he had ever attended - reporters will not chase you to ask questions, celebrities will not arrogantly show you because of their status, everything is so natural, no different from soaking in a hot spring.
This kind of safety zone formed by a series of factors such as background and box office makes Roland feel very at ease.
He even felt that in this situation, even if "Captain Hook" was filmed like, these guests, reporters, and film critics on the scene would bloom with lotus tongues and blow the whole movie into the sky from all aspects.
The plot is flat? Too slow?
Then we can blow the mirror.
Peter Pan is completely absent from the chic, proud, and resolute nature of secular society?
Then we can say that he grew up, was real, and the 'right' life that people are facing today.
This is a vulgar adult fairy tale, a bowl of Meng Po soup that is hard to swallow?
It doesn't matter, we can still blow acting! Williams's middle-aged Peter Pan is completely tired of those adults in real society, while Hoffman's Captain Hook is still majestic, full of stubbornness and innocence!
And that's --
The influence of status.
Unlike topics like '996 is good fortune', the quality of a movie is itself a thing that is difficult to define.
What I like is good, what you like is bad, how can this kind of subjective judgment be fair?
But when you particularly like a guy, the he pulls will be fragrant.
Because you don't allow him to fall off the altar, it's as simple as that.
Even if—
This time, the other party really missed, and he really lay on the credit book and made money.
But as long as it's not three times in a row, people will eventually forget these things.
Because of this, when Roland found that after nearly half an hour of the movie, Ashley and Mary, two six-year-old girls, still did not understand the plot, but Aunt Garneti, who was sitting next to him, watched it with relish, and he understood that the movie "Captain Hook" was really not suitable for children.
Raising his hands, he beckoned the two little ones to climb into his arms, and while each of them pecked lightly on the forehead, Roland also said in their ears: "If you are bored, close your eyes and sleep for a while." ”
"I'm going to see Beauty and the Beast tomorrow."
"But—" Ashley looked at Roland with wide, watery eyes, "isn't that right?" ”
Mary, who heard this, nodded in agreement.
Although they are still young, their minds have long matured, and they understand that it is not appropriate to sleep now.
"Well, don't doze off." Roland tilted his head and looked at them with a serious expression.
"There's Beauty and the Beast, it won't." Mary replied very honestly.
"If there is a princess dress, we can go to bed again tomorrow." Ashley followed her sister's words and added.
Such words made Roland laugh directly.
Okay -
It seems that no matter what era it is, the little girl's favorite is always Disney.
From Prince Charming to Queen Charming, people have always had a way to trick little girls into buying princess dresses.
But since the two little Loli made a request, how could Roland not be satisfied?
"Then you'll have to watch the movie well, because Beauty and the Beast was made by Steven's good friend."
"If you want Princess Belle's princess dress, then you can only get the original version by looking for Steven."
