Chapter 41: Thinking (Happy National Day)

An hour later.

“Cut! Good……”

"Roland, you go on, we're just one snow sprint away from the shot, and then fall."

When Chris Columbus called Roland's name, Roland, who had been watching for a long time next to him, didn't have the excitement when Miyasui Sanye saw Tachibana Taki at all, but sat on the skateboard with no interest.

With the stunt team taking over, what should have been an exciting play camera shot is called a rather boring one.

After a coherent action is dismembered and fragmented, it is much worse to face the senses, but even so, with the fiddling of those stunt groups, Roland also understands how to shoot this kind of sprint shot.

Sitting on the skateboard, under the wanton pull of the staff, Roland, who was in a state of 'rapid sprint', made an exaggerated expression, with wide eyes, wide mouth, and heart-rending screams, the frightened look, like the crew members who were thrown out of the plane by the war machine, seemed to shout loud enough, but more like they really showed fear, after multiple positions captured several in a row, this scene was over.

And when Roland, who was after the play, took the mineral water handed by Mohami, there was a slap in his ear.

"Your expression just now is so pompous."

What?

Do you understand?

Roland, who didn't enjoy the thrill of skateboarding, rolled his eyes at the other party and retorted in a low voice: "We are filming a comedy, which is already full of a lot of exaggerated action. ”

"Besides, I'm still playing a bear child."

"When the bear child is playing skateboarding at home, he finds that he can't brake and is helpless, of course he will show his horror appropriately!"

Mohami did not comment on the explanation given by Roland.

After Bai ate Roland's contemptuous look, he received the mineral water bottle that the other party stuffed back.

Under his gaze, Roland, who was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, was like a stupid bear, constantly messing towards the monitor.

Because of the thick snow, Roland's body was crooked and twisted when he walked.

Yes, there is snow on the crew.

You read that right, the crew in Los Angeles, there is snow.

At the beginning of joining the group, because the shooting was all interior scenes, Roland did not find that the crew was equipped with snow-making vehicles, and Roland thought that snow would be directly synthesized with post-production technology, but he didn't think that as soon as he entered the location shooting stage, the set designer of the crew directly turned the set in Los Angeles into the North Pole, however, these powerful set designers did not use high-power snow-making vehicles, but spread a polymer resin around the venue, and then continuously poured water on it.

This material, which Roland has never seen, absorbs water and turns into a negative ion, taking on the appearance of snow.

The temperature of powdered artificial snow can reach 30 degrees, it will not melt when heated, it will only be scorched when it is set on fire, and only calcium salt can make them melt, which is a necessary tool for the crew to shoot and make snow in the snow resort, and it is precisely because of their existence that John Hughes and Chris Columbus dared to set the filming location of the crew in Los Angeles, because even if they went to shoot elsewhere, they had to make artificial snow.

"Director, do you have any other shots to shoot today?"

When Roland watched his performance and felt that there was no problem, he directly ripped off the old padded jacket on his body.

As the costume was taken off, the sweaty back was also presented in front of everyone.

No way, who made the temperature in Los Angeles in the twenties?

Wearing winter clothes in this temperature is either filming or having a bad brain.

"Oh, you're sweating so much?"

"Let's go and wash up our makeup."

"We're here today, and we won't shoot in the afternoon."

"Joe and I still have something to do, and we'll get it at two o'clock."

After Columbus finished speaking, he left all the work on the set to the assistant director of the group.

And Joe Pesci, who had already taken off her costume, had already changed into a neat suit and got into the pick-up vehicle that the assistant had prepared a long time ago.

Looking at the figure of the car that was speeding away, Roland shrugged.

This kind of situation where the director and the leading actor don't do it at the same time, this is the first time he has seen it.

However, Roland can understand their behavior, because today is March 26, and the Oscars will be held today.

Filming started for more than a month, when the crew completed the daily shooting tasks in an orderly manner, the gossip news that Roland heard on the first day of joining the group finally had a result, with the 62nd Academy Awards held at the Los Angeles Music Center, the major awards that had been hyped for months were also revealed one by one: Tom Cruise undoubtedly missed the actor; "Driving for Miss Daisy" unexpectedly won Best Picture; Jessica Tandy became the oldest actress in history at the age of 80 years and 293 days; Oliver Stone, on the other hand, won the Best Director trophy for the second time in four years......

Of course, the above news is far less ferocious than Denzel Washington's winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

There is no way, who let the news of Mandela's release turn into posters and appear in all corners of America?

If there were no black people at this year's Oscars, then this matter may be even more troublesome.

However, even if these things are hyped, they have nothing to do with Roland.

For him, whoever wins the Oscar is the same.

He won't get rich because those people won the Oscars, and those people won't have some kind of connection with Roland because they won the award, and they want to promote him on a whim.

Roland, who has memories of his previous life, knows in his heart that the Oscars are just a show of the year, and being nominated for it will prove everything, because the final award has nothing to do with art.

After the Oscars, the entire crew, because the director and the leading actor could not be there, rested for two days, and during the two-day vacation, Roland, who was idle, directly asked David for some pocket money, and then asked Mohami to accompany him to the Great Western Forum Arena to watch a Los Angeles derby.

The Los Angeles Lakers in this era do not have the prestige of the Purple and Gold Army, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has retired, and some are only Magic Johnson and Cobra Worthy, and the god operator Pat Riley, who is still coaching, will also be left after the end of this season; But even so, the Lakers, who couldn't do anything, still won easily by seven points with a seven-point advantage when they were resting Magic, but it was a pity that Roland had some regrets because he didn't see the Magic's brave performance.

However, even if he couldn't witness the show time of the Zijin Dynasty due to the wrong time, Roland, who watched the game at the scene, still found a lot of highlights, for example, he witnessed how the spicy man who could change Kobe Bryant in the future slashed six points and three boards.

Of course, this also has to do with Roland wearing the opponent's jersey.

Mohami was a little curious about Roland's behavior, "Why don't you buy a Magician jersey and ask them for an autograph?" I've heard that season ticket viewers are treated like this! ”

"Even if you don't like magicians, Cobra Worthy and Byron Scott are more famous than him, right?"

"Why don't you ask them for an autograph?"

In the face of Mohami's inquiry, Roland directly rolled his eyes.

This kind of thing, it's hard to explain.

Because six years later, when the logo man trades Divac to the Hornets, he will still take this jersey and come to the Great Western Forum Arena to find Kobe, the hairy boy, to ask for an autograph, as long as the other party is willing to leave Mobao above this ball, then the value of this jersey will definitely rise in a straight line in the attitude of riding a rocket.

Don't blow it or black, this jersey printed with No. 12, after having the signatures of those two, its value will definitely exceed the commemorative model of No. 8 and No. 24, even if it is not worth 100 million, an Oscar statuette, there is still it.

Thinking that he might appear in "Dear Basketball" in the future, Roland was a little excited.

As the guy who welcomed Kobe Bryant to the Lakers with a Divac jersey, he will definitely go down in history.

Of course, for Roland, as long as it can be remembered by history, it is enough.

He won't be a brother with Kobe.

Because he was afraid that one day, the other party would suddenly come up with the words 'Roland did it too'.

At that time, it wasn't fun.

After two days of rest, Roland, who returned to the crew, was refreshed.

Although Columbus still didn't let Roland shoot those dangerous pictures, Roland, who found the excitement, didn't care.

Now he feels that filming in the crew is a very comfortable life.

During the day, he can communicate with his peers, exchange experiences, and when he is idle, he can also chat with Mohami and talk about games, and at night, after returning home, the envious eyes on him make him feel more face-saving.

That's right, since Roland joined the group to film, he didn't have to go to school, and he became another child in James's eyes.

No homework required, no credits required, no school rules abiding, no mother's nagging......

That kind of free and carefree life is the longing for life in James's eyes.

But unfortunately, no matter how envious he is, David can't let him go out to film.

With so many people in the family going out, do you still want to join in the fun?

Dream on!

"Hey, Roland, I really envy you that you don't have to go to school!"

"You know what? It was so boring for me to be alone at school after you left! ”

"There's a lot of homework, a lot of homework, and every day after school, the training of the rugby team is even more annoying......

"I really want to apply for home education like you, but the problem is that my dad doesn't agree at all."

"Why don't you go and help me talk about it?"

"As long as my dad agrees, you're my best brother!"

The words like chanting a scripture directly made Roland laugh.

"Then according to your meaning, if I don't get things done, our brother can't do it?"

James was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head like a rattle, "How is that possible!" ”

"Even if my dad doesn't agree, we're the best brothers!"

This kind of behavior of hurriedly changing his words caused Roland to roll his eyes, raise his arm, put it on the other party's shoulder, and made a helpless appearance, "James, you can save it, your father will definitely not let you study at home." ”

"Ashley and Mary have already made him very dissatisfied when they go out to film, and if you still want to learn this matter to provoke your father, I think you will die a miserable death."

The honest words made James's face pale, and he sighed for a while, and then it was settled.

He knew that what Roland said was true, and he knew that his father had to pay close attention to his studies.

Since the situation is powerless, James didn't get too entangled in this kind of thing, and while putting away his depression, he also hoped to pull Roland into the water, "Oh yes, it doesn't matter if I can't study at home, what about you?" ”

"This movie has been filmed for more than two months, and it will be called over on the tenth of next month, and when all the things of the crew are dealt with, don't you want to go back to school with me?"

"Don't tell me anything, you have an appointment, this kind of talk can't fool me at all."

"You're not Ashley, you're making a movie, not TV, this one is finished, if it doesn't catch fire, there shouldn't be the next one, right? At that point, you won't be able to stay at home any longer. ”

The words of the underbeating made Roland want to hit someone.

What does it mean that if it doesn't catch fire, there should be no next one?

Can't you just say something nice?

However, even if James's words are ugly, Roland can't deny it, what the other party said is a fact.

The day of the closure of Home Alone will be the time when he is unemployed, and at that time, with Mohami gone, whether Roland will have to return to school to continue his studies is a question on the table.

Although Roland can be an ostrich, he will think about it after the incident.

But even if it is delayed for a long time, Roland has no good solution.

Because David and Garnetty can't help themselves find projects like before.

Home Alone is an unavoidable classic, and Roland wants to find an equivalent masterpiece that can match him when he is unknown?

That's just a dream......

Therefore, as James said, Roland also felt that before the movie was released, he should not think about what kind of moth, to find any good projects, and with this spare time, it is better to experience the life of an American elementary school student.

Anyway, there can't be an elementary school student named Shinichi Kudo in the school here.

He didn't have to worry about his life being threatened.

Of course, in addition to going to school, he can also communicate with Mohamido at other times.

Wasn't this guy dead short of money in the early days of his business?

After the movie is released, isn't he Roland, just rich?

(。 ◕ˇ∀ˇ◕)

And when James mentioned studying, Roland, who counted on his fingers, also found a problem.

The crew closed the camera, and that was in mid-May.

At that time, all the elementary schools below and below America will enter the summer.

You don't have to go to school in the summer!

In that case, why doesn't he have some fun?

For example, let Aunt Garnetty take everyone out on vacation.

Or tell David under the banner of James that your son wants to go to Chicago to see Jordan perform.

It doesn't matter if you don't see the yellow-green battle between the magician and the big bird, it's okay to witness the two triple crowns of the gang leader!

Anyway, being idle is idle, and instead of staying at home and being an otaku, why don't you go out and have fun?

After all, if nothing else—

After "Home Alone" is released, he will not be as idle as he is now.

Mohami didn't know that the little kid who stayed with him every day was calculating what name to invest (press) (squeeze) himself; Unbeknownst to Garnetty, the son of this friend was ready to encourage his two daughters; James didn't know that there was a big, black pot that was about to be buckled to his head.

Just when everyone thought that Roland, who was shooting seriously, was a rare good seedling-

This guy has actually planned his summer life a long time ago.

In Roland's opinion, even if God came, he couldn't stop his summer vacation plans.

This is not only because David and Garnetty have no intention of helping him find a project at all, but also because he has combed through his memories and determined that in the past few years, there have been no big hit children's movies at all.

In this case, what else can he do if he doesn't go on vacation?

Because I have something in my heart, time flies.

As Xiao Shenyang said, Roland, who is concentrating on making movies and waiting for time to enjoy the holiday, really experienced what it means to close his eyes and open them, and a day passes.

However, just when Roland thought that the day the movie was finished would be the day James took the blame......

Chris Columbus, out of the blue, found him.
