Chapter 12: It's Delicious! (Ask for recommendation votes)
Although Garneti didn't know what her husband and Roland were messing with, since the two had a request, she took advantage of her daughter's filming to communicate with the director of "Full House of Youth".
Faced with this project recommended by himself, Howard Storm, the director in charge of the filming of the new episode, was a little surprised.
Because he clearly remembers that when Ganetti was seeking a role, he only put forward a vision of allowing the adopted child to grow up healthily, and did not intend to bring him into the circle.
However, Garneti opened his mouth to ask, so he had no intention of hiding it.
"According to director Howard, he also learned the news from his friend Robin Williams."
"It's the Robin who filmed "Good Morning Vietnam" and "Dead Poets Society"."
Howard said Robin made a point of emphasizing that to recommend past school-age children, there must be a blank resume.
"I don't have any acting experience."
"Because the leader of this audition is not producer John Hughes, but Chris Columbus."
"It was he who asked the crew to conduct auditions."
What?
David, who was driving, frowned and glanced in the center mirror.
Roland, who was sitting in the back row, also narrowed his eyes slightly.
Both of them felt that something was wrong.
David's known information was all given by Roland, and in Roland's memory, the protagonist of "Home Alone" was obviously finalized by John Hughes, in this case, how could the audition be related to Chris Columbus?
The doubts of the two were not discovered by Ganetti.
Tearing open the envelope, she scanned the text on the paper, and the speed of her speech gradually increased.
"The John Hughes and Chris Columbus project is called Home Alone."
"Behind this project, there are countless problems."
"In the beginning, this script was made for Warner, and half of the copyright was in Warner's hands."
"At that time, Warner was very interested in this project."
However, when John Hughes submitted the full script to Warner's Green Light Committee, Warner did not plan to continue investing because the revenue of his three consecutive films did not meet expectations, and they directly lowered the budget from 20 million to 2 million.
"This humiliating decision made John Hughes very angry."
Although the project was stopped by Warners, John Hughes did not give up, he began to return to the state he was in when he first entered the industry, and invested his book in various producers, and was finally favored by Fox's producer Mark Levinson, and under the operation of the other party, the project came to Fox from Warner's hands.
"However, after Fox got the project, he was not willing to invest too much money."
"But he didn't tell John Hugh Ming, but asked him to find the director first."
"This search has found Chris Columbus's head."
Chris Columbus was very interested in this project, and he felt that it was the best story he had seen in a few years, so he used his connections to finalize the two important roles in the film in advance.
"One of them, it's Joe Pesci."
"I starred with Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull."
"The other is Daniel Stern, who starred in "Farewell to Yesterday".
"It is precisely because of the two of them that Fox is willing to officially invest."
"Although the movie "Home Alone" is produced by John Hughes's film company, his rights have actually been almost encroached upon by Chris Columbus, director Columbus is the promoter of the project, after he finalized two important roles, the only thing left for John Hughes is the protagonist who is now being auditioned, although director Columbus very much wants to include the choice of the protagonist into his scope of work, but John Hughes does not want to be completely hollowed."
"Because you told me before that you were just taking Roland over to play, that's why Director Howard recommended this project to me - in his and Robin's opinion, the main role, Chris and John, is estimated to be fighting for a long time."
Roland didn't know how he managed to get back into the study.
When David pushed the mellow aromatic coffee in front of him, he came back to his senses and immediately laughed.
This is really providential!
He Roland is the koi who was favored by God!
David was still telling Roland early in the morning that John Hughes is not a top producer in Hollywood, and the rights he can get will not be as mysterious as the outside world rumores, and in the afternoon, Garneti brought him the news that John Hughes has been overshadowed by most of them?
In addition to the script, the main actors and investment were not brought in by the producer?
It's also -
Too low, right?
Through several previous auditions, as well as memories of his past life, Roland thought that John Hughes was a very controlling producer, so he looked very depressed when he learned of his circular goal.
But now—
John Hughes is simply a strong outsider!
The movie hasn't been made yet!
The infighting in the crew has already begun!
"You already have an idea?" Taking a sip of coffee, David asked with a smile.
"Yes, the prototype is already out." Roland also took a sip, the bitterness that made him close his eyes.
When Roland learned that the leader of the audition was Chris Columbus.
He understands that there is a very large room for maneuver.
Chris Columbus now is far less famous than he will be in the future.
Not only that, but in his hands, there are no absolutely excellent results.
The two films he directed were tepid, but even so, he was able to get investment from Fox.
Why?
Isn't it because of the scripts he wrote "Little Devil", "The Goonies", and "Out of the Spirit" that Spielberg took a fancy to!
Of the first four works of his debut, three were selected by Spielberg.
Spielberg personally handled the script he wrote and put it on the screen.
This relationship is much harder than that of John Hughes, who has no support!
In his previous life, when he was doing the commentary video of "Home Alone", Roland emphasized to his fans that the success of the movie was inseparable from the two gold medal supporting actors, and now, when he knew that these two supporting roles were invited by director Columbus-
The context of the matter is even clearer.
In front of the producer-centric system, what does he need to impress is John Hughes, who already has a candidate in mind?
Fart!
What he needs to curry favor with is Columbus, who has already broken into the Jewish gang, has Spielberg as a backer, and can talk directly to investors!
John Hughes was put on the air, which is good news for him.
Thinking of this, Roland, who was reminiscing about the bitterness of coffee, opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling with burning eyes.
For the first time, Roland discovered that entering the industry at this age was the right decision.
Thanks for the time loop!
It smells so good!
