Chapter 255: This is the best era!

Roland, who was leaning on the sofa in the study, slowly typed a question mark.

The happy smile that filled with the explosion of "Titanic" is declining.

Although Spielberg didn't make it clear, Roland still understood.

'Won the most unlikely award in my life' - doesn't this mean the Oscar for Best Actor?

He won the actor?

Isn't that just a joke?

Steven...... This joke is not funny......" The disorderly tapping of the five fingers on the armrest of the sofa, and the clattering sound of the leather sofa interpreting Roland's mood at the moment, "The reason why Kate is rushing is because there is a precedent for success." ”

"Her age and her performance are not a problem, and what we want to solve is to erase the stereotype of the judges that young actors should not win awards early, and with you and the Big Six, this problem is also easy to solve......"

Speaking of this, Roland paused again, pinched Qingming's acupoint with his right hand, and said very self-awarely: "But ......"

"I have too many questions."

"Have you ever seen an Oscar for Best Actor given to a guy under the age of thirty?"

"Have you ever seen an Oscar for Best Actor go to a twenty-year-old?"

"Have you ever seen an Oscar for Best Actor go to an eighteen-year-old?"

“Comeon! When I look at the Oscars next year, I'll be eighteen years and three months old! ”

"It's just my age that makes it impossible for me to win this award!"

"What's more, do you think my skills are comparable to those of others?"

"You, Tom, and the others, you all know that my show is like this......"

"I can't play difficult roles, and the roles I can play, all the audience cares about is my handsome and charming face."

"So...... I never thought I'd win an award, and I didn't think I'd go this way, you know, we're one kind of people, we don't like acting or directing, we like the thing itself, we like the sense of accomplishment of creating a world that the audience recognizes...... So...... Why did you suddenly talk to me about this? ”

The babbling words made Spielberg laugh again and again.

He knew that what Roland said was the truth, but the problem was that the best opportunity he emphasized was actually the truth!

He was ready to dismantle Roland's unrealistic self-denial.

"Roland, first of all, you think your age is an obstacle to your award, right?"

"Yes."

"Then have you considered who are the people you are targeting now?"

"Actor......" Roland replied as he should.

Spielberg retorted, "Why do you put yourself in the position of an actor? Isn't your target Shirley Temple? The deepest impression you have made to the public is not what role you have created at all, but in the past ten years, you have used various movies to make up for the lack in their hearts, not that you play well, but that they need you to play the beautiful ......"

"Uh...... Steven...... It would hurt you to say that......" Roland pouted.

If it weren't for the fact that the old man was talking to him about business, he would have wondered if this guy would have deliberately jumped out to meet himself when he saw that "Titanic" might break the box office record of "Jurassic Park".

Spielberg obviously didn't think that much, or rather, Roland's reaction was all within his expectations, "Hurt? Oh! Oh, my God! Don't pretend to be in front of me, okay? I know you don't care about these reviews, but what I'm trying to say is that Shirley Temple won the Oscar because she made up for the lack in the hearts of the public, and the public wanted her to take it, so she won the ......"

"I know you might want to say that she was a wonderful soothing dessert that God gave to the people of America during the Great Depression, a special product of the times, and she only won a special prize, but ......"

"Don't you think that in the absence of the background of the times, your achievements are even more terrifying than hers?"

"Or, "Home Alone", "Terminator 2", "Jurassic Park", "The Lion King", "Spider-Man", "Titanic", which of these movies is not a product of the tide of the times?"

"If you want to adapt to the times, who can compare to you?"

Roland sighed, and he twisted his body while he was still leaning on the couch and lay down.

That's right, although the outside world gave him an evaluation of the horror box office terminator, but in fact, one box office record after another is just a product that conforms to the trend of the times and is at your fingertips......

Roland dares to say that he is second, and no one dares to say first.

He has eaten all the dividends of the technological development of the film industry in the 90s, and in the case of being able to kick James Cameron's ass, and in the case of holding the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings", the dividends after that are already in his hands.

"But the problem is that adapting to the times can only gain the popularity of the public, and cannot solve the problems created by man-made."

"You said to help me PR a special Oscar, I believe it."

"If you say Best Actor......"

"Steven, you're trying to kill me......"

"Isn't the reason why I'm living so well now because I never go to fight with those actors?"

"Isn't Tom Hanks willing to teach me because I won't snatch his book?"

"Can once I join the Oscar for Best Actor, then ......"

"Former friends will become enemies......"

"Because I'm embezzling their interests right now."

Roland lives very clearly, he is popular in the circle, in addition to being covered by these big Buddhas behind him, in fact, it is also related to his own lack of lines, the books he plays, those famous actors can't act, and those famous actors need excellent scripts, Roland doesn't get involved, so that you will be good, I'm good, everyone, but if this balance is broken......

Things are in trouble.

While Roland is not afraid of trouble, he also hates trouble.

Acting is just a method for him to carry out the primitive accumulation of capital, in the early stage of accumulation, he did not do it with others, and now that he has accumulated almost everything, there is no need to fight with others......

However, after hearing Roland's remarks about the distribution of benefits, Spielberg on the other end of the phone laughed, "Do you know why I told you that this year is the best opportunity? Because at present, no one can eat this cake......"

"The guys who are going to hit the Oscar for Best Actor this year are actually those ......"

"Dustin Hoffman, who played "Wagging Tail Dog", he will definitely be nominated, but Dustin has already won two statuettes with "Mr. and Mrs. Kramer" in '80 and "Rain Man" in '89, do you think he might win it again?"

"And then there's Robert Duvall, who starred in 'The Missionary.'"

"Although he didn't win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor with "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now", he won the Oscar for Best Actor with "Gentle Mercy" in 83......"

"He's not Tom, he's not Dustin, one is already the limit, two are impossible."

"Then there's Peter Fonda, who starred in 'The Beekeeper' this year."

"Peter Fonda, you should know, right? The people of the Fonda family, his father Henry Fonda, is the guy who filmed "Twelve Angry Men" in '58, and won the Oscar for Best Actor in '82 for "Golden Pond". ”

"In the same year after winning the award, he passed away."

"And Henry Fonda's daughter Jane Fonda, also starred in "Golden Pond" with him and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Jane Fonda won two Oscars for Best Actress in '71 with "Flower Street Killer" and "Return" in '79, and she is now the wife of CNN founder Ted Turner......"

"I'm telling you so much to tell you that Peter Fonda himself knows in his heart that he can't win the Oscar, their three Oscars have exhausted their resources, and when "Golden Pond" won the award, Ted Turner also made a move, but those judges were only willing to vote for Henry Fonda when he was sick for a long time and could die at any time......"

"And after removing Dustin Hoffman, Robert Duval, and Peter Fonda, who are unlikely to win the award, there are also Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson who may be shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Actor this year."

"Matt Damon I don't know if you know, Robin Williams starred in "Mindcatcher" is the script he wrote, and he also starred in the leading role, but, "Mindcatcher" project, we have already said that Robin needs an Oscar-winning actor, and we will help him win the award, and at the same time, Matt Damon was strategically abandoned."

"Well, even if you don't give up, you can. Drop him ......"

"In this way, don't you feel that you still don't have a chance?"

"Because Jack Nicholson is the one who can afford to win two Oscars for Best Actor!"

"He won the Oscar for Best Actor in '75 for "One Flew Over the Asylum", and won the Best Supporting Actor for "Mother-Daughter Love" in '83, and there is a "Perfect" this year, ready to rush to the Olympics......"

"If nothing else, he will be the one who will take the ...... this year"

"But!"

""Perfect" was originally scheduled to be released on December 25, and as long as it was released in Los Angeles for a week, it would be eligible for registration, but the problem is, "Titanic" was released on December 19, and you have 150 million in three days, so that all the movies on the market have lost the possibility of grabbing the box office, so ......"

"Sony has withdrawn "Perfect"!"

"Because this is a big-budget blockbuster movie, the production cost is more than 50 million!"

"If Jack Nicholson is forced to release it, then the 50 million will basically be smashed!"

"With Sony's shift, the goal of "Perfect" is also set in the Oscars of '99!"

"Yes, you killed the guy with the best chance of winning the Oscar for Best Actor this year!"

"I said the best year, not only because "Titanic" was rampage in the box office market, but also because with the rampage of "Titanic", now those judges don't know who to vote for!"

Hold the grass!

Roland, who was lying on the sofa, sat up suddenly!

After listening to Spielberg's babbling words, Roland's heart was like 10,000 horses, galloping by!

"Perfect" was scared by "Titanic" and withdrawn?

This, this, this......

Although Roland can't remember exactly what the Oscar winners are every year, he is still impressed by Jack Nicholson's two-time best actor films, the point is that in his previous life, when Jack Nicholson won the best actor for the second time with "Perfect", all the nominees for Best Actor that year were all sprayed, because-

Leonardo DiCaprio is not on the list.

Many viewers don't really know how the actor is performing, and in this case, they feel that the actor who can arouse their emotions and make them resonate is the acting skill......

Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Robert Duvall, Peter Fonda, Dustin Hoffman and others didn't do it in the Olympic movies that year, so the audience thought they didn't act well, but Xiao Lizi did, so he acted well......

The audience is so pure......

But the judges ......

Well, the judges are actually not very fair, they will also talk about seniority, but the problem is that now the plan to rank seniority has been smashed by the sweeping "Titanic", so ......

How do you talk about seniority?

To Dustin Hoffman?

Hold the grass!

The people who support Tom Hanks are not satisfied!

Back then, "Apollo 13" killed him because no one could take three!

To Robert Duvall?

Hold the grass!

The bunch of guys who took a little golden man are not full!

Robert Duvall has a clear gap between Dustin Hoffman and Tom Hanks, and if he can take two, why can't we?

To Peter Fonda?

No kidding, okay!

Their family has already taken three!

If you're giving Peter Fonda one, isn't that going to catch up with the Coppolas?

Why?!

Take it to Matt Damon?

Well, the academy wouldn't have that kind of idea......

If Matt Damon is given, then Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and all the other new generation of actors will be dissatisfied.

In this way, with Jack Nicholson already being banned by Sony......

In the case of the other four top contenders, there is no way to win the prize......

In the case that Roland can pass the six major PRs......

Under the staff of Spielberg, a guy who can publicize three consecutive championships......

As fans want to see the love of the century even greater......

This is the best of times!

Roland felt that he could really stand up-

"I want this award, who is in favor of it? Who is against? ”

When Spielberg finished speaking, there was silence on both ends of the phone.

After about a minute, there was a crackling sound.

Although the old man was not there in person, his smiling eyes seemed to be able to see everything through space.

“Yeah! Yeah!! Yeah!!! ”

“Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! ”

Although Roland doesn't care about this thing, it's better to have a chance to get it than not to have a chance to look at it, right?

It's one thing to not care! It's one thing to get it or not!

Even if he is not interested in awards, his fans are very interested in awards!

Moreover, if he remembers correctly, "Perfect" actually won the best actor and queen of this Oscar.

Now, the biggest threat is being banned by the capital itself?

Roland has to wake up laughing in his dreams!

He jumped up from the sofa and pushed all the books on the desk!

The chaotic sound of heavy objects falling to the ground is the most beautiful music for him!

I don't know how many things he turned over, when he panted with his hands on his hips and looked around, the books and materials, scattered at his feet, chairs and stools, overturned to the ground, if I had to describe it, it was......

I've been playing with Kate for two years, and I haven't made such a mess as much as I am now.

"Hey! Steven! Are you still there? Roland picked up his phone again, and when he fell back on the couch, there was only excitement on his face.

"Of course...... Glad right? Do you also feel that the current situation is your best opportunity? ”

“Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I never doubted you, how could you lie to me? Right? ”

The old man rolled his eyes when he heard the cheeky playful words, and he said with a smile: "So now, do you think it is necessary for me to revise the goal of the Olympic Games with you before submitting the cooperation intention to the Sixth Six?" ”

"It's really necessary......" Roland said in a complimenting tone.

However, at the same time as the excitement, a sentence also popped up in Roland's mind-

But, Guldan, at what cost? ’

"What do you think I need to give?"

"Rushing for Kate and giving us two to the Olympics together, those are two different price ......"

"Steven?"
