Immediately entering the group is just fooling the other party's words.

In fact, from the very beginning, Roland had the idea of special training after the filming of "Forrest Gump".

Regardless of whether it is fitness or martial arts, it is not an overnight thing, just like losing weight, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, then the small meat on your stomach will be the same as enoki mushrooms after all, and you will see you tomorrow.

Roland plans to help Ang Lee pull a group of people in early ninety-four, and then prepare for the filming of "Spider-Man", and the reason for this choice is actually related to James Cameron-

"You ask me when 'True Lies' will be finished?"

"It's going to be April next year at the earliest!"

"What? You said you're going to wait for me to come back and discuss the action scenes in Spider-Man? ”

“Fuck！ What do you mean? ”

"You have to wait for me! I'm telling you! ”

"Don't think that after I'm promoted to A+list, I won't dare beat you up! Spider-Man is my project! If you let Steven shoot it, then I will definitely drive the AV-8B to snatch the project back! ”

When it comes to "Spider-Man", the old man's mood is a little irritable, if it weren't for Roland not thinking about changing the director, maybe soon after the phone hung up, the old man would have rushed all the way from Venice to his house.

That's right, after the explosion of "Jurassic Park", Stan Winston, who has been fooled by Cameron, finally made time, and under Cameron's kidnapping, they and Scott Ross, the manager who came out of Industrial Light & Magic, lived together in Venice, Los Angeles, and the digital field was born.

For this company that can squeeze into the top three in the visual effects industry in the future, Roland has no idea.

Because he can go through the back door!

Bah!

It's a queue cut!

Want to use ILM technology?

Call their big boss.

Want to use technology in the digital realm?

That's still the big boss who called them.

A phone call would have brought his project to the forefront, and he wouldn't have to throw Franklin into the money-burning hole.

Of course, in fact, the digital field has no half-wool relationship with "Spider-Man", because the special effects of Spider-Man's spider silk are solved by industrial light and magic, and Roland's next entry into "Forrest Gump", the table tennis ball in it, is the special effects, and the blurred CGI technology is actually the foundation of the production of the "Spider-Man" trilogy after the millennium.

In the case that the technology has been overcome, how can those visual effects films that want to follow the trend compare with the son of "Spider-Man"?

Roland firmly believes that as long as he makes a good deal, let alone the same period, there will be no opponents throughout the year.

However, while preparing for "Spider-Man", Roland was actually curious......

If the trucker's temper really comes to tinker with "Spider-Man" next year, then his boat won't be able to drive?

Although the real shooting time of the big ship was only half a year from September '96 to March '97, Fox made a decision to officially inject funds in '95, and the real exploration preparation time had actually started since '91, including digging pools, including building ships, these things were all stared at by James I'll Cameron himself......

When "Spider-Man" meets "Titanic", how will the truck driver choose?

Roland really wanted to know.

…………

Of course, "Spider-Man" and "Titanic" are not things that Roland will ponder now.

While the box office of "Jurassic Park" continued to rise, and most of the world's box offices completed the filming, the global box office also exceeded 600 million, and when those film companies were at a loss and could not break through the defense line of Catherine Kennedy, Spielberg's big butler, Warner, who wanted to win over the master and apprentice, found a soothing idea.

Catherine Kennedy is on business, and they can't see herself?

Never mind!

I'm inviting from the media, that's always okay, right?

Small media and small newspapers can't look down on it?

Never mind!

What do you know about the cover character of Time magazine?

Compared with News Corp., which is forming a media network, and Disney, which has not yet acquired ABC, Time Warner is now rich and rich, as one of America's three major current affairs weekly, this is already the largest media resource except for the person of the year, and now, it is just a means for Warner to force people to come forward.

For Warner's generosity, Catherine Kennedy naturally laughed at it.

And when Roland learned that his special code was going to be on the cover of "Time Magazine", his heart was excited, because when he was looking for a job in his previous life, he wrote on his resume that he had been selected as the Person of the Year of Time Magazine in 06 years and "won the special award of the Organizing Committee of China in 08".

But after all, it is a collective award, and it is not only embarrassing to say it, but it is easy to be laughed at.

And now?

This is the real cover!

Although it was with Spielberg, it was also an honor, right?

However, just as Roland was happily docking, Catherine Kennedy told him again: "No, no, no, it's you." ”

Steven said he would definitely be on next year; And he asked me to tell you that if someone from Warner asks you about Spider-Man or his own project, you can just tell them, and Steven says, 'Come back to ......me after I'm like Clint and I win two trophies at next year's Oscars.'"

Fuck……

This old man definitely did it on purpose!

Roland also thought that "Time Magazine" licking his face and finding the door could make him pretend to be a big beep, but he didn't think about it, the old man's pretending beep skills are stronger, listen, listen, is that human talk?

What do you mean that it will definitely be on next year?

What do you mean by waiting for me to lift two trophies at the Oscars next year?

This special code simply doesn't take the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences seriously!

Compared with this kind of guy who will beg me to be on the cover next year, Roland instantly felt that the cover character was boring......

What a spicy thing!

People can go on if they want to, and if they don't want to go up, they can't go up, and they go in and out at will, which is boring!

Just like the holy monk refusing 50 billion, he is so angry that he can't open his eyes.

Of course, although the old man put a big beep in the air, Roland still took a picture of the cover.

Send the resources to your hand, don't be in vain.

And the news that Roland appeared on the cover of Time magazine did not make much splash.

Or rather, the guys who ordered Time magazine were not curious about his appearance.

No way, with a cumulative personal box office of more than 200 million, and unlimited screen swiping within two months-

If you can't get on the cover, it's not normal!

Moreover, since his debut, there have been only two paper interviews related to him, which are far from reaching the level of the international film festival blanket star and the United Nations star, and he is not worthy of virtue, virtue is not worthy, his name is not worthy of his name, and his bluff criticism has nothing to do with him, and he can be promoted to A+list at the same time, announcing the confidence to prepare for a new movie for two years is the reason why the big guys still like him, no way, in the eyes of the people, there are not many down-to-earth guys like Roland, those who are famous, Which is not a crazy gold rush? There are too few who can precipitate themselves like him!

However, for such comments from the outside world, insiders said hehe......

In the case of falling into the trough and having resources to make a comeback, who would not dare to precipitate?

Rise?

…………

After disposing of all the messy things and leaving a bunch of fairy tale books for Elizabeth's little guy, the time also quietly entered August, and Roland also entered Hanks's house and saw the project team arrangement of "Forrest Gump".

According to the previous plan, their filming time was from August to December, but because Roland was very eager to improve himself, Paramount 'carefully' considered it, and sent a production director to be responsible for the coordination of the time.

All right......

In fact, after Paramount learned that Roland accepted any replaceable role and entered the group with zero pay, he directly estimated a release time, and then left it alone, in the words of the board, that is- 'What do we need to manage?' Producer, Director, Screenwriter, Actor, Cinematographer, Editor...... It's all their people, and Roland is willing to brush his face, so let's just invest money, what else do we care? Just wait for the release......

Unlike David Fincher, who can fight to the death with investors, the guys in the crew of "Forrest Gump" have all proven themselves; The main pillar is still guaranteed at the box office; This kind of list, which can succeed with their eyes closed, is the favorite lineup of investors, because they don't have to worry that the main creative team will suddenly be young.

Now that everyone understands it, what's wrong with spending millions more to change the filming process?

Just ask Roland to help brush his face and spend the money on the platform!

Millions for a potential publicity point?

The value of the special code!

That's why, when Roland opened the plan, the first thing he saw was Walterboro, South Carolina.

"We'd go to Walterborough first, where we filmed scenes of Forrest Gan's childhood, including Jenny's farmhouse, Forrestal's homestay, and elementary school, where he was chased by bullies...... These shots will be framed there......"

Tom Hanks and Roland opened the plan together, looked at the process and said, "The oak tree where Gan and Jenny fell in love is in the Lee Hill Plantation...... Then there's the University of Alabama in Alabama, where we have to film Kim's college life and the segregation lift, and then Kim finds out that his girlfriend is playing with other male classmates......"

"Then we're going back to South Carolina, and the scenes of joining the army and the Vietnam War were all filmed on Fripp Island and Hunting Island, and as for the mountains and other scenes, George and Industrial Light & Magic will help us solve the ......"

"After that, there's Washington, and there's the need to show your ass to the president......"

"Then we went back to Port Royal in South Carolina to film the fishing boats......"

"Then it's time to go home, and when my mother dies, I reconcile with Jenny, Jenny disappears, and Gan starts running......"

"Beaufort's Woods Memorial Bridge, Utah's Bryce Canyon National Park, Monument Valley, these are all places we were going to, and when the running scene was done, we were back to the family ......"

"That is, our roadmap is California to South Carolina, then to Alabama, then back to South Carolina, then to Washington, then back to South Carolina, then to Utah, then back to South Carolina, and finally back to Los Angeles......"

When Roland's circular schedule came to Roland's mind, he—

How do you ask a guy who hasn't touched geography in a long time to calculate the length of the entire route?

What's more, it's not something he needs to care about at all!

He only knew that the filming process of the movie would be consistent with Forrest Gump's growth process, and then in the closing stage of the film, he made up the plot of sitting in front of the bus stop sign and waiting for the bus to arrive, and by the way, it was OK to tell the story to passers-by......

Since the creation of the character comes with the experience of the character, the ......

"Where do we start?"

"Should I learn Forrest Jr.'s speaking first, or ......?"

Roland closed the shooting plan, clapped his hands, and looked at the fat-nosed uncle next to him with a smile, "Tom, come on, I will listen to you for the rest of the time, I'm not here to play......"

Roland clearly remembers that in the behind-the-scenes revelations of the film in his previous life, there was Hanks who deliberately learned the content of the little Forrest Gump accent in order to make a good movie, in his opinion, this is actually the first step for Hanks to enter the state.

And he came here to learn how to shape the characters of the Great Theology.

However, while he discarded the shooting schedule, Hanks, who heard this, immediately shook his head and said, "No, No, No, Roland, character creation is actually very simple, you don't need to be so excited......"

What？

Roland smiled on his cheeks, he felt that Hanks was trying to put you at ease, "Tom? Do you think I'm not emotionally right? ”

"No...... I'm serious, we never start by digging into the hearts of the characters......"

Seeing that Roland was a little unconvinced, Hanks didn't give him a chance to ask, but got up, took out two cans of Coke from the refrigerator, put them on the table, and then motioned for Roland to sit opposite him, "Since you think what I said is a little confused, then let's enter the quick question and answer session, first of all, the first question, what do you think of my acting skills?" ”

"Great, perfect."

Roland felt that this was a scoring question, and if Hanks's acting skills were not good, then he would not come to waste time.

"Ok, since you think I'm good, can you tell me what's good about me?" Hanks smiled.

"You won't feel embarrassed to watch your movie...... Roland thinks the question is not too much to think about.

"Ok, the third question, do you think it's not embarrassing, is it because the picture is harmonious? If so, don't you admit that it's the director's credit? Do you believe that if you hear this to Steven, he will beat you? Hanks tapped the table with his right index finger, a curious smile written all over his face.

"Oh, no, Tom, I'll admit it's because the picture is harmonious, but ...... Can you stop mentioning Steven at this time? ”

Roland rolled his eyes.

"Of course, but I say this to tell you that acting is never a one-person thing...... Catch. Hanks pushed the Coke in front of him hard, and when it slid in front of Roland, Roland, who obediently pressed it, made Hanks nod, "So, do you think this picture is harmonious just now?" ”

looked at the Coke in his hand, and then looked up at Hanks, who still felt that the other party was a little pretending, and squinted.

His action made Hanks tilt his head and say, "The way you are now, you can use it in the plot of the police interrogating the prisoner." ”

"Or, the two-role confrontation, the scene where you doubt me."

Hearing him say this, Roland reacted, "Are you teaching?" ”

Unfortunately, Hanks still shook his head, "Teaching? No, no, no...... Before teaching, I just want to tell you that any picture you see on the screen is not something that an actor can do alone, you think I can play well, but the premise of my good performance is that there are a series of behind-the-scenes personnel such as lighting and photography, and the character building you want to understand, and the character building that I am about to teach you, is not a thing at all, I know you may be pondering the genre now, but that kind of thing does not need you to ponder at all, as for the explanation, I will just say a few examples......"

"Robert De Niro, the acting is amazing, right?"

"He played a cynical gangster in "Bad Streets".

"In "Taxi Driver", he plays a veteran, and he is the kind of guy who can assassinate a presidential candidate after a failed pursuit of a girl to prove himself......"

"In "Raging Bull", he plays an angry, paranoid, refusing kitsch madman......"

"In "Once Upon a Time in America", he tells the story of gangsters working the streets......

"In "Iron Mask Selfless", he played the gangster in the moonshine market......"

"In "Goodfellas", he still plays a gangster ......"

"He still plays a bad guy in "Terror Corner", ......"

"Did you find anything wrong?"

When Hanks rubbed his hands and looked at the little guy opposite with a smile, Roland's surprised expression made him sigh, "Do you know why Steven didn't let Robert and Clint teach you?" ”

"Because your acting paths are different."

"You think we're doing a good job, but we're just repeating our success."

"And the so-called breakthrough is just essentially adding some other character elements."

When Hanks said this, Roland finally understood.

In his previous life, he knew that Hanks was a perfect methodist, but he didn't expect it......

This guy is more straightforward than he thinks......

Yes, repeated success and acting breakthroughs have never been a pair of contradictions.

In "The Philadelphia Story", Hanks plays a homosexual, an AIDS patient;

In "Forrest Gump", he plays a guy with an IQ of only seventy-five;

In "Apollo 13", he played a pilot;

In "Saving Private Ryan", he plays the captain;

In "Miracle in the Green Mile", he plays a prison policeman;

In "Desert Island Survivor", he played a courier company employee;

In "Cat and Mouse Game", he played an FBI agent;

In "The Terminal of Happiness", he plays a poor man who has lost his country;

In "Captain Philip", he plays a captain hostage who is kidnapped by pirates;

In "Bridge of Spies", he plays a lawyer;

In "Captain Sully", he played the captain;

In the Washington Post, he plays the editor;

It may seem like a different profession, but the essence is actually the same......

All good people.

Like Robert De Niro's gangster attributes, Tom Hanks has been repeating his truth, goodness and beauty, using a variety of different classes to repeat the same core.

Different professions are the most commonly referred to as acting breakthroughs, and good people are actually the core of his performances.

"So what do you mean? Does Steven think I'm a good guy in my life? ”

After understanding what Hanks meant, the smile on Roland's face was very bright.

To be honest, after these big names admit that they are repeating their successful selves, Roland actually has no psychological pressure on acting - although what Hanks said is very simple, it is a trap that every actor is easy to fall into.

If Hanks and De Niro were to play the bad guy and the latter play the good guy, wouldn't it be successful?

Of course, they may succeed.

But for them, it's about throwing away the best odds of success.

Obviously, if I change my career and identity, I can achieve the breakthrough that critics and audiences want most, so why should I lose the core of success that I have accumulated for many years? I can find a book for a good guy, so why play a bad guy?

This is the same as Chen Daoming.

If I can get the notebook I am holding, then I won't play those little people.

Although the casting of the selection book seems to have nothing to do with the performance, but-

It can greatly avoid your failure in the performance.

And when Hanks heard Roland's inquiry, he shook his head, "Good guy? No...... I don't think you're ......"

"Although I haven't talked to Steven about you, you give us a weird feeling, you know?"

"If Arnold Schwarzenegger will play the tough guy repeatedly, Robert De Niro will keep playing the bad guy, Harrison Ford will keep repeating the identity of the savior, and I will keep playing the good guy, then you ......"

"Now there is no legal sex, you know?"

"I personally think that your biggest advantage is age, the core of your success is age, you only need to do what the big guys in that age group want to do the most at each age, as long as you act in your true colors, you are the one with the best acting skills."

"It's like when you play Home Alone, I'll be honest, if you're compared to Jim Carrey, people can push you to the ground and beat you; And "Terminator 2", if I were to play the protected man, I would be able to kick your ass hard; And in "Jurassic Park", if you let Harrison Ford play your role, he can knock your teeth out, but ......"

"People will still like you eventually."

"Because they see that you will have a sense of substitution, and in our case, you will not."

"This is also what I just told you, if you don't play, the first thing to consider is not the acting skills, but the harmonious ...... the picture"

"And Steven put you in "Forrest Gump", in fact, because Gan is a good person, and the Spider-Man you play next, he also has to be a good person, the core of your success is age, and the direction of your acting breakthrough is heroic......"

"Do you see what I mean?"

“Yeah！” This is blunt enough, and Roland would be stupid if he didn't understand it.

The so-called superheroes are the equivalent of those professions that Hanks mentioned earlier.

His age corresponds to Hanks' good guy essence and De Niro's bad guy nature.

After the essence is determined, the character is well shaped.

And the reason why those bigwigs can continue to film is not because they don't enter the play, nor do they enter the role in an instant like what is written, and then get out of it in an instant, but because the essence of the role they play has not changed at all.

For Hanks, playing a good doctor only needs to observe the doctor's habits, because the core is good and already exists.

For De Niro, playing a bad doctor only needs to observe the doctor's habits, because of the bad at the core, he has played it countless times.

In this case, repetition is the simplest performance for them.

Because they just have to grasp the details of each profession.

"Ok, now that you understand, then I can teach you how to play a good guy and not keep repeating good guys like I do."

After seeing Roland nodding, Hanks happily opened the can, "If you lose the core of your success because of my teaching, then Steven and they will definitely beat my ...... to death."

"Oh, Tom, that's not right for you." Roland also pulled off the Coke and poured a mouthful into his mouth, "Isn't it okay to play a good person?" You're very successful right now......"

"Am I successful? Right...... But I'll never be like you, every drama is 18 percent good, right? If I were you, then I would only use my good guy essence as a tool, and after filming Spider-Man, I would follow my growing age to change to other breakthroughs. ”

Hanks shrugged his shoulders and gave an example, "For example, when I was seventeen or eighteen years old, I could play a soldier, whether it was good or bad, or a rookie egg, it was something that people of that age could do, or it was to talk about a love of the century, a guy of that age, hormones burst, even if your performance was only horizontal, but as long as the story was more touching, people would think that you played it better, because, age filter......"

When Hanks was talking about eighteen percent, Roland just smiled, because the uncle in front of him didn't take less than that, but when the other party mentioned the breakthrough and said that the rookie Danzi and the century were in love, Roland, who was still there and regarded the other party's words as chatting and farting nonsense, raised his eyebrows, "Wait, what are you talking about?" ”

"What am I talking about? I'll give you another example! I'll tell you the difference between the nature of your age and the nature of my good man! ”

Seeing that Roland's expression was a little wrong, Hanks directly spread his hands and said: "Originally, when your "Spider-Man" is released, you will be at least sixteen, seventeen or eighteen years old, if you don't make a sequel immediately, then you can try the most common choice for young people at the moment!" For example, if you are a soldier, whether it is a recruitment advertisement like "Top Gun", or an anti-war movie like "Full Metal Jacket", whether it is the Vietnam War or World War II, there will be a wave of people rushing to help you promote it, okay? ”

"And at that age, it is also the age when many people fall in love, if you can find a book that moves the world, brother, I think with your popularity, that movie will definitely be more popular than "Jurassic Park"...... How tall are you now? Five feet? After three or four years, as long as you can grow to six feet, I think you can really try to pick up a romance movie. ”

Hold the grass ......

The words of affirmation made Roland curse in his mind.

He knew that Hanks was just casually chatting with him, and before formally teaching him how to play a good guy, he would talk about the specific direction of choosing a book according to the nature of his success.

But—

Hanks's casual remark, for Roland, was a thunderbolt.

Because the book in the other party's mouth, for him, it is given for nothing.

Given for nothing in every sense.
