Chapter 147: A project at your fingertips, a course for two people
Regardless of whether it is a conscription-themed movie or an anti-war movie, Roland can count a bunch of them on his fingers.
But if it is limited to ninety-five years later, when Roland is seventeen or eighteen years old, there will be only one.
Saving Private Ryan by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks
As one of the most successful films to reflect the brutality and gore of World War II, Roland doesn't want to recall too many reviews and achievements, because how much people hate "Shakespeare in Love" means how much they love "Saving Private Ryan".
As for the characters?
Roland didn't even use his brain, so he knew which guy was right for him.
Who else but the hapless Ryan who was saved?
Can......
Ryan's age is a problem!
Ryan in the film is the 101st Air Assault Division, the kind of army that will accept a seventeen or eighteen-year-old guy?
And talk about a love that touches the world?
For Tom Hanks, this may be a good expectation, because this guy is trying to do this kind of thing, whether it's "Sleepless in Seattle" or "Electronic Love Letters", he's talking about love, but he doesn't move the world.
Butβ
This kind of book is close to Roland.
At the beginning of this year, when the truck driver wanted to beat himself, he said the project in his hand in a negative way-
"Titanic".
"Tom? At your age, if I appear in a World War II-themed movie, the 101st Air Assault Division, is it abrupt? If you think of it, you ask, since Hanks is chatting, then Roland is also pretending to be chatting.
However, in the face of his inquiry, Hanks, who drank a can of Coke and got up to get another can, opened the refrigerator and said without looking back: "Roland, I think it is necessary for you to go and brush up on history." β
"Have you seen the Vietnam War conscription plot in "Forrest Gump"? γI Want You For . Armyγγ β
"The age of conscription in America before the war was 21 to 35 years old, and during the war it was expanded to 17 to 50 years old, and at that time, in order to enter the army, it was normal to have all kinds of false age declarations, as long as you can pass the physical examination, no one will get stuck with you, and some will even commit suicide in anger."
"If this were not the case, how could we, with a population of more than 100 million at that time, have more than 10 million soldiers?"
"Moreover, I think it's okay to be young, so I add a new recruit label to the script."
"Besides, you have to go to military training first to make this kind of movie, and if you go to practice for two months, the image will come out."
When Hanks sat down opposite Roland again, he felt that age was not an issue, and he asked curiously, "Don't you tell me, have you ever seen this kind of book?" It's really hard to make a movie about World War II, if you're interested, then pull Steven to do it together, his dad can call the Marines, and the details of the World War II period, they can all drag it out for you. β
"With them, no one cares about your real age, because they're going to use the butt of their guns to tell the critics that this is the fact that they beat it down little by little, and those guys will definitely shut up."
The humorous words made Roland grin, and as he shook his head, the topic also changed, "Then what do you think will be the social reaction of me falling in love with a guy who is five years older than me on the screen?" β
Hearing this question, Hanks, who was still playing with the Coke can there, blinked his eyes, his head was slightly off, the corners of his mouth were raised, one eye was narrowed, and after sweeping Roland's body several times with a curious look, he quietly got up, squeezed to Roland's side, raised his hand on his shoulder, and asked in an inexplicably excited tone, "Oh~~~ Tell me who you like?" β
"I thought it was hype about you and Ivanka that the media publicized before, but now I look at it? Do you really have someone you like? β
"You were born in '80, five years behind you? Let me think about it, a girl in seven or five years ......"
"Wow, are you talking about the little guy in the Voight?"
"That's called ...... Angelina Jolie's? β
The gossip was full of black lines, and just as he was about to show that everything was a hypothesis, Hanks's straight eyebrows made him slap his head with a wry smile.
"Tom, I mean, there aren't many actresses my age?"
The slightly questioning words made Hanks snort lightly, and seeing that Roland wanted to hide it, this guy wrapped his hands around and clubbed his upper body on the table, "Don't you know that it is the norm in the circle to let an actress in her twenties play a girl's role?" β
βOhοΌ I forgot about it! Roland rolled his eyes.
That's right, pretending to be tender has never been a 'weird' in the showbiz of a certain country or region.
Emma Thompson in "Sense and Sensibility" is really thirty-five years old, but she plays the nineteen-year-old heroine.
Barbra Streisand in "Yantel" is forty-one years old, but she plays a sixteen-year-old girl.
Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is really thirty-two years old, but her character is only eighteen years old.
And Xiao Li Zi in "Cat and Mouse Game" is a 28-year-old who plays a seventeen-year-old thief.
Of course, you can say that they are good at acting, but that face is the fact that they ate the book.
Otherwise, even if you put Meryl Streep's acting skills on Simon Wuxian's body, the bubble noodle Xiao Li Feidao still can't get out of his mouth! And no matter how good Xiao Meiniang's acting skills are, who really looks up to Aunt Liu!
Many people think that Hollywood is professional, but it is just because the movies they produce overseas are all high-quality products after the big waves, and those movies that have been complained about locally, which stupid investor will go to publicize them?
And even if you get it, it will be stopped by the association, because what is the difference between using bad movies for cultural export and slapping yourself?
Soβ
"It's not much of a problem for you to fall in love with a guy who's five years older than you on screen."
"I still say that, the so-called audition is to see if you are suitable for the image of the character in the play, the first glance is OK, there is a chance to perform, and acting is actually a very general thing, I will not teach you systematically like the school teacher, because those nameless and powerful guys don't know what their famous work is, and they can't find the essence that can make them successful, let alone repeat, so they need to try different roles and make trial and error."
"And like us, we have the right to change the script, the protagonist of "Forrest Gump" is too cold, I won't act if I don't change it to a good guy - I ask you, what will the investor do when he knows that you are interested in a book now, but that book is not suitable for your image? I believe that as long as you go outside and shout your voice, the six will let people work all night tonight, and tomorrow morning, you will be able to find six books that fit your own changes, lying at your doorstep. β
"Unless that book is Steven's, no director in Hollywood will say no, because investors will tell them that if they don't use us, the investment will be cut in half."
"Of course, if it's Steven, is that still a problem? You go to Steven's house and tell him that you like the character, but you have to change it, do you think he's going to warn you about trespassing, or is he going to kick your ass and tell you to get out of the script? β
"And it doesn't matter if it's James's temper, if you take his script, does he really dare to beat you? He has made so many movies, and the most annoying thing is that the investor doesn't give money, and after you take the book, will the investor not give money? β
When Hanks held his cheek with one hand and looked at Roland with a smile, Roland, who was still chasing the result, directly gave an Ok gesture to the other party - as Hanks said, if Fox knew that the truck driver chose to give up when he could use himself, then they would definitely kick the truck driver's ass before the official project was established.
Moreover, the male protagonist who was chosen by Fox was Matthew McConaughey, but the truck driver directly changed Jack's age to a younger age in order to pull Xiao Li into the gang; The wide-angle shots that vibrate their arms and shout overlook are all done by Industrial Light & Magic; Not only that, but the forty acres of land that Fox bought for the movie didn't have to worry about this time, because Skywalker Ranch had a water tank pulled out, which was much cheaper than buying land and paying taxes......
Roland admits that Hanks's idea is quite tempting for him -
Well, to put it mildly, it's not quite tempting anymore, but epic all the way!
If all of them come true, his performance will be:
"Home Alone", "Terminator 2", "Captain Hook", "Home Alone 2", "Jurassic Park", "Forrest Gump", "Spider-Man", "Titanic", "Saving Private Ryan", ......
When all the movies in this series are finished, his charisma will reach β!
With these works in hand, this is no longer more than a certain actor!
Even if God comes, he can't stop it!
He alone can crush all his peers in the circle to death!
When the time comesβ
All the books that suit him will be handed to him, and before he says No, the producers will not look for a second alternative!
Becauseβ
'I love the world! The world loves me! β
Of course, he understands that all of this is a beautiful vision.
But he is willing to work hard to get on that unsinkable ship, to become a new recruit egg whose whereabouts are unknown......
Because all this is the best choice for him!
All this is at your fingertips!
"Okay, let's not talk about that yet."
"Tom, I accepted your suggestion, thank you."
"But I can't mess up the movie, can I? Step by step, first of all, the good guy label that Spider-Man needs......"
When Roland put away the topic, pressed down his fantasies, and wanted to get the fundamental key to winning the film, Hanks glanced at his watch, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, I made an appointment for lunch." β
"Let's go together, and when we're done with our meal, we can start our afternoon activities......"
"Ok, no problem." Hearing this, Roland nodded suddenly.
For him, for the next six months, just follow Hanks.
He believes that when the other party first emphasizes the essence and then teaches himself to create a character, the whole learning process will be very pleasant - because many times, it is not the students who can't learn, but the teachers who are teaching blindly.
Ouyang Nabi really wanted to scream and shout, 'Mom has been gone for ten years'?
Isn't it the teacher who stupidly beeps in the background to let her shout?
After sitting in the living room for a while, after Hanks finished changing his clothes, Roland followed the other party and climbed into the low-key Toyota SUV.
Buckled up his cap and tapped the handle of the car with his right hand, just as he was wondering where Hanks was going to invite someone to dinner at noon, the car that slipped left and turned stopped at the door of the mansion on the other side of Malibu.
He pulled out his phone, dialed a number, beeped three times, and Hanks closed the flip cover.
And just as Roland was looking left and right, the dull sound of footsteps, from far and near, drilled into his ears.
Following the direction of the voice, an old woman with curly blond hair, round-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses, a dark blue floral dress, and a white handbag appeared in his sight.
Such a situation directly made Roland in the car, the corners of his mouth twitch, "You actually asked a lady to dinner?" β
"yes, what's the problem?"
Knocking on the car horn, Hanks smiled and asked, "Can't you see who she is?" β
"Who is she? I don't know? Roland raised his eyebrows, thinking that Hanks was joking, "I only know that you asked an old lady for a date, and you definitely didn't ......tell your wife when you asked her out."
"Oh, you're right, I really didn't tell Rita......" Hanks nodded.
But he continued: "But when you meet her, you don't have to talk to Rita at all!" β
As he spoke, he opened the door and stepped out of the car.
Under Roland's gaze, Hanks opened his arms and hugged the old woman who walked out of the villa.
Of course, hugging is not the point, the most surprising thing for Roland is that these two people actually kissed together!
That kind of open, look-at-home Roland has an unusual headache.
What does this mean?
Cheating in front of a student before class?
If this is the content of teaching 'liberating nature', then the special code is too liberating, right?
After two glances, Roland, who was a little speechless, stroked his forehead with one hand and turned his gaze, too lazy to see how Hanks was talking to an old woman; However, not long after he turned his head, the sound of a knock suddenly came.
When I turned my head, the two guys came to the co-pilot's window.
Looking at the gesture of pulling down the window, Roland pressed the button.
As the window glass lowered, the two people standing side by side were clearly recognizable.
"Roland, don't you recognize me?"
Just as Roland pondered how to speak, a familiar man's voice came out of the old woman's mouth.
Hearing this, Roland, who was still a child, almost didn't jump!
Hold the grass! Is this special code actually a shemale?
However, in the next second, the old woman with a manly voice took off her glasses.
When the unadorned face appeared in front of Roland, his eyes widened directly, "Fuck!!??? You're Robin??? β
Robin-Williams, who was recognized, smiled and patted the car door, and after seeing Roland's surprised face, Hanks leaned on the roof of the car and said, "yes, I'm asking Robin." β
"Welcome to Tom Hanks' Acting Teaching Class, our first class wasβ"
"It doesn't matter if you're a good guy, a bad guy or a hero, it's easy to be them."
