Chapter 53: Win-Win (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Cultivating a relationship is actually a very vague concept, especially when both parties know the motivation, and everything can seem very awkward.
Because when this thought lingers in the chest, the process of having to go in order to achieve the goal will be an insurmountable gap, which will make both parties feel that their behavior is too deliberate.
Therefore, when Schwarzenegger said the name Linda Hamilton, the gym, which was already empty, fell into a kind of silence in an instant, and Roland, who wanted to pass the time with fitness, didn't know how to answer, and Arnold didn't know how to explain.
The scene of big eyes staring at small eyes made both sides very uncomfortable.
Looking at the governor in front of him who frowned slightly, as if he wanted to talk to him awkwardly, Roland also understood why many people in later generations said that Star-Lord and the governor's daughter were very compatible.
Maybe it's because when the governor doesn't know what to say, Star-Lord can jump on it to ease the mood with his father-in-law.
Of course, the face-to-face daze did not last long.
Because shortly after the governor said Linda Hamilton's name, the other party showed up.
The two had already cooperated before, and when they met again, they got acquainted very quickly.
After chatting for a while, at Linda's suggestion, everyone went straight to the point.
Unlike Roland, Linda, who has a fight scene in the movie, has to undergo formal physical training.
If nothing else, the arm muscles have to be reflected, and the pull-ups have to be able to support them.
And while Schwarzenegger was instructing each other, there was another person who was also practicing with Linda.
That person was certainly not Roland, but Linda's sister Leslie.
That's right, many people think that the T-1000 in "Terminator 2" is simply a film killer, because his mimicry ability will make the shooting extremely complicated, making the post-production staff directly bald.
Many people even suspect that in that era, the special effects team responsible for the mimic changes of "Terminator 2" would resign directly, just like the special effects artist who changed the face of Shen Gongbao, and then jumped ship, and then re-received the project in the new company.
But in fact, the transformation of the T-1000 in the movie is all exquisite, and it is not so exaggerated.
Because all the characters that need to appear at the same time, including the heroine, are actually twins.
Why did you make two Sarah Connor with special effects?
Linda already has a twin sister, can't I just let her come over and play it?
As for the other characters, twins are chosen when casting.
Signing twins to act is much cheaper than shooting two scenes by one person, and then editing and splicing them in post-production!
That's right, James Cameron isn't a pure shredder.
He also knows how to cut costs.
It's just that every time, the cost he cut down will be spent exponentially on all kinds of bizarre lists.
Of course, for many actors, Cameron's cost-cutting move is actually to provide themselves with jobs, after all, twins are not easy to mix in Hollywood.
Compared with many auditions that go through the process, special actors like twins are more discriminated against.
No director would deliberately support a pair of twins, and no producer is even willing to sign the twins as the protagonists, because for capital, this is a loss-making transaction - my sister is on fire, and my sister is fighting, so how should it be calculated?
Their appearance is the same, how to sign this contract, how to do this publicity?
The face is unchanging, but because of the hidden value generated by the face, the risk of public opinion is measurable.
It was precisely because she knew that her film contract was not easy to come by, so when Linda got the long fitness training plan, she did not have the same concerns as Roland, and when the two sisters sweated profusely and got off the horizontal bar, Arnold, who had already taken himself out of embarrassment, turned his head to look at Roland and asked, "Do you want to try it?" ”
"The horizontal bar not only doesn't affect your physical development, but it also makes you taller."
Starting with the topic of fitness and pulling in the feelings of both parties was originally a method that Cameron came up with.
It's just that the governor preemptively explained a wave, which will embarrass the two in the showdown.
And after returning to the theme, Roland certainly won't be stupid to reject the other party.
Schwarzenegger personally went down to teach, and this kind of opportunity is hard to come by.
Even if Roland doesn't have fitness needs now, he will have a good relationship with the other party.
No one knows if they will use each other in the future!
One day, when Roland needs to build muscle, it's safer to call the governor than to go to New York to find Billy Helington, right?
After all, no one wants to hear some strange sounds while working out.
Of course, Roland's fitness schedule is not as much as Linda's.
Under the governor's direction, he did some basic sports.
After he finished practicing with Linda, he understood what Lian Po meant by "success comes at a price".
No one can become famous in one fell swoop with the attitude of enjoying life, more people only see the enjoyment of those big-name stars after their success, but they can't see the madness before they become famous-
When the governor completed his exercise schedule for the day in front of him, group after group completed his workout schedule for the day, that kind of almost masochistic cultivation made him see the other party's determination to be among the older children and play more advanced games.
Marriage may be the governor's success, but this day-to-day persistence is the foundation of his success.
Of course, pure fitness only lasted a week.
When Schwarzenegger found that Roland had been able to complete his daily assignment after a period of adaptive training, he proposed to go to Sony's set to have a look, surprise Cameron, who was watching Cameron, and let him review the training results.
This kind of playful mind is also in Roland's mind, the two hit it off, took a simple shower, and went straight to the set.
However, when they arrived, they found out that the truck driver didn't come today.
"James went to the desert of western Arizona, and he went through Steven's relationship and got a decommissioned M61A1 from the Army, which I heard was removed directly from a helicopter."
"In his words, it's 'I'm going to touch that big guy before I shoot.'"
Yes, that's what Roland just said, a bizarre list.
In order to save money on special effects, Cameron can save money by hiring twin actors.
However, before the producer could cover the money, the other party used it to buy Gatling.
In the "Terminator 2" movie, the governor played Gatling, which is real.
Not only that, but it was a helicopter-borne Gatling, with a rate of fire of 6,000 rounds per minute.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if you empty the bomb, at the end of this minute, you have to burn the salary of a pair of twins.
If you NG a few more times, it is not much different from directly doing the fire effect.
"It's a pity that he's not ......" Hearing the news, Roland sighed regretfully.
Compared with Schwarzenegger, the person he wants to contact more is naturally the tyrant.
If he could, in the three months before the start of filming, of course, he would meet with each other a few times, just a few times.
But—
It all depends on the sky.
However, just when Roland felt that the matter was settled.
After asking the staff about the cause and effect, the governor smiled and said, "Are you interested in going with me?" ”
"Where are you going?" Roland didn't react for a while.
"To the desert, of course!" The governor bent down, leaned into the car, took out the map, and pointed at Roland: "Arizona is right next to California, don't look at the distance, but we can fly over it instead of Highway 10." ”
"From Los Angeles to Phoenix, an hour and a half at most."
"Then we're renting a car and driving to the desert, and we'll see James at noon tomorrow at the latest."
"I don't know if you're interested, but I know James would be interested if he saw the two of us."
Fly straight over?
That sounds like a good idea!
Without hesitation, do as soon as you think of it.
Roland asked the assistant for a mobile phone, dialed David's phone, when the other party learned that Roland was going to find James with Schwarzenegger, this guy didn't say a word, and directly agreed to his travel plan, not only that, but he also instructed the assistant who followed Roland to let him pay the bill by card, and find him to reimburse all the expenses after he came back.
"What, is there a lot of money?"
"I have a card, and 30% of the salary in the early stage has been lowered, and I can pay it."
"You can't get a plane ticket from Los Angeles to Phoenix, right?"
"Even if we count the accommodation or something, it won't cost much if we stay there for a few days, right?"
When Roland came to the assistant's side and whispered to ask about the doubts in his heart, Schwarzenegger, who had been observing him, squatted down, raised his hand on Roland's shoulder, and pointed to the crew set not far away and said, "Look at these weapons in our crew." ”
"Shotguns, rifles, all of them, and they can all be played in California."
"But Gatling is different, those things can only be played in the great desert of Arizona."
"The Great Desert is the largest machine gun shooting range in America, what AN-M3, Bren light machine gun, Barrett, you can fight there, but the price of bullets is a bit expensive, 7.62 ammunition, three knives and one ......"
"If you play Gatling, based on 2,000 rounds per minute, if you play for one minute, 6,000 knives will be gone."
I'm a.
Roland stopped talking.
He was so scared that he was almost deformed!
Six thousand dollars a minute?
Ten minutes directly knock off my salary for a movie?
Is this special code playing with guns or playing with money!
How can it feel more terrifying than a coin-operated group strike!
In the case that he needs to file taxes in the next tax season, he gets 30% of his salary, but he has 24,000 dollars.
If these 24,000 knives are given to Mohami, the other party can make a game, but if they are put in a shooting range in the desert, they can only shoot 8,000 bullets? Cool for four minutes?
Is your bullet diamond-encrusted?
I can't afford to provoke, I can't afford to provoke, and I say goodbye.
When Roland heard the price quoted by Schwarzenegger, he simply stopped talking.
Let the assistant book the ticket and book, he doesn't care about anything.
It's not really like he's picking on the door.
It's that he really doesn't have any money.
As for eating David's, wearing David's, and using David's?
I'm going to pay it back slowly.
If David refuses to accept it, then he will forcibly return it to his daughter.
When Roland staggered after Schwarzenegger to the desert ten miles northeast of Waikiap, the deafening sound of gunfire rang out like a cannonball.
Since Cameron had already received a call from the crew, when Roland and Schwarzenegger appeared in front of him, the guy wearing noise-canceling headphones not only had no accident, but happily stepped forward to hug them.
"Arnold, I was going to wait until your training is over before you come over and try out the gun."
"Oh, James, isn't that a waste of time?" Schwarzenegger smiled and said: "When Roland and I learned that you came to play with guns alone, we just bought tickets and flew over; Right, Roland? ”
"Yes, Arnold said, you can't be left alone to enjoy the sneak."
When Roland imitated Schwarzenegger's tone and described Cameron as a 'Grandet' who was stingy with money, the truck driver wearing goggles immediately laughed, and he didn't care about the laughter of the two, but said loudly: "Looks like your relationship is going well, isn't it?" After getting along with the training, the effect is still there, right? Alright, since you're here, don't say much, let's try the gun, and if it's okay, I'll let them pull these things back. ”
As the governor said before, James, who had hoped that they could get along amicably, suddenly became very good after discovering that the two had joined forces and made their own jokes.
Compared with the guy who pestered Spielberg before and asked for the identity of the screenwriter, Cameron now laughs like a child.
At this moment, he did not hold the two responsible for disrupting the class schedule and changing the itinerary at will.
Because, the familiarity of the two people is beneficial to filming!
No matter how much he burns money, how he scolds, how he roars, and how crazy he is, doesn't he still hope to make a good movie? As long as the end result satisfies him, he-
It is possible not to pursue the process.
As for inviting the duo to play Gatling?
As long as everyone's relationship can be enhanced, even if all the expenses are hung on the crew, he won't mind.
What the? Investors, you say?
The money is in my Cameron's pocket, and you investors still want to get it back?
However, just as Roland approached Gatling and wanted to try this big guy with his own hands, he looked at it for a long time and suddenly found a very serious problem, "Uh...... Where is the trigger for this gun? ”
Hearing Roland's question, the scene suddenly fell into a dead silence, and within a few seconds, all the guys, including Cameron, laughed, "Roland, you still reported the model of the firearm to me seriously that day." ”
"I thought you really knew about these things......"
"I didn't expect you to just know the model and don't know how to use it?"
"This M61A1 is electrically driven, unplug the switch, press and hold the button to ignite."
Hearing James say this, Roland's face suddenly turned red.
If he hadn't been thick-skinned enough, he would have gone underground.
It's not fun to be exposed by Cameron on the spot.
But even so, he forced a smile and pressed the ignition button according to Cameron's instructions.
When he saw with his own eyes that the barrel of the gun that had been idling for a few turns was spit out blue flames after a few seconds, the clatter sound was matched with the bullet like rain, and the spontaneous feeling of comfort made Roland extremely excited.
And when I thought that after I pressed this button, every second would be a green Franklin—
He's even cooler!
Because—
It's not his own money!
After three days of playing in the Arizona desert, the refreshed Roland returned to Los Angeles with the crew.
In three days, he played with the guns in the desert.
If it weren't for Cameron who found out that there was a tracer bomb launcher on his bill and almost didn't stab him with a knife, Roland-
Maybe it won't stop yet.
And after returning home, Roland also deliberately described Gatlin's feel to James Olsen.
When he expanded the process of less than thirty seconds, he described the feeling of no experience in the sky.
James looked at him in the eyes and straightened, "Fuck! Rowland! We're not brothers! Why don't you take me with you! ”
"Who kicked me out of the house last time? Didn't I just hold your sister and tell the story? Roland cocked Erlang's legs and asked in a hanging.
Although Roland's appearance was really underwhelming, James still coaxed ......
"Oops...... Elder brother...... Elder brother...... It's my fault......"
"You can communicate with them as much as you want in the future."
"I have only one request."
"Next time your crew is filming, you must take me to see it, M61A1 and Schwarzenegger! I've wanted to see it for a long time! ”
James's words of confession, Roland accepted them all.
Of course, taking the other party to the crew is naturally as foolish as you can.
In the following time, in addition to training with the course, Roland also went to the governor's house once as a guest.
When he learns that the governor's wife is very fond of the Olsen sisters and wants to meet them......
This friendship naturally unfolded.
Inviting the Schwarzeneggers and friends from the Home Alone crew to their home not only satisfied James' needs, but also made David very happy.
Because, the peace group and Special Olympics behind Maria are the most intuitive forces.
Although David's real estate business has nothing to do with Washington, but—
What if?
It is no exaggeration to say that all the investment that David has made for Roland has paid off at this moment.
What happens next, that's David's own business.
Of course, in addition to David, Schwarzenegger was also very happy.
Not only because he met Chris Columbus, Joe Pesci and other Jewish stalwarts at the Olsen family's house party, but also because Joe Pesci sent Roland an invitation.
A photo of the premiere of the movie "Goodfellas" held in New York on September 18, 1990.
If it's just an invitation, maybe it's nothing.
But if he helped the Olsons take care of their children, the governor, who was temporarily promoted to Grandma Roland, was naturally happy to do it for him.
"Arnold, since they don't have time, why don't you take me there?"
Roland pushed the invitation in front of Schwarzenegger and asked.
Looking at the delicate envelope with intricate patterns, Schwarzenegger laughed.
Although he didn't see Spielberg during this time, it didn't matter.
Because Martin Scorsese, the director of "Goodfellas", is also one of the Big Four of the Jewish Gang......
"No problem, I'm glad to do it."
After picking up the envelope and reading it for a few seconds, Schwarzenegger flashed a trademark smile at Roland.
Because for him, his investment has also begun to bear fruit.
