Chapter 128: Released
In his previous life, Roland had watched a documentary.
When the national teacher was filming "The City Full of Golden Armor", there was also an opening ceremony preparation team running at the same time next to the crew.
Almost every time a few shots, someone will come over to communicate with the national teacher about the content of the opening ceremony, that kind of seamless switching, the collision of inspiration that is not related, really makes Roland feel admired, although the movie can not satisfy the audience, but while contributing the prototype of the prince Jiawen IV, the whole movie also tells people that no matter how small or small, there will always be crowding.
It was because of watching that documentary that from the very beginning, Roland was curious about Spielberg's state of work.
"Jurassic Park" and "Schindler's List" were released in the same year.
Before such a tight schedule, no matter what the old man said, he would work overtime and start work in two ways, right?
However, from the beginning of filming in Hawaii to the exposure of the relationship, Roland never saw the other party mention this matter in the crew.
When he thought that this guy was really as stable as Mount Tai and calmed down, when Roland asked the other party that day, 'Do you like me because you have the same hobbies?', he realized that it was not the old man who didn't care about it, but that no one took the initiative to jump out and help him take the blame.
That's right, since Roland raised the guide tube and filmed three scenes, the old man threw him to shoot the next stop-motion literary scenes.
During the filming, the guy leaned aside and mistook the members of the group as interstellar players, pretending to be there as overseers.
If it weren't for the fact that the cover of the document reads "Schindlers List".
Roland really thought that this guy was watching himself filming!
If it were replaced by another crew, this kind of honest and honest private work would have been stopped by the production director stationed in the film company, but no matter which company or project, no one dared to point fingers at the old man.
In this way, the old man and Roland were happy to be idle:
The former only needs to taste the finished product after each shooting, while the latter only needs to follow the old man's ideas.
Even if you occasionally mix in some of your own ideas, it's no problem, even if it's not right, there are no old drivers watching at the scene!
No matter how biased, it is impossible to fly at low altitude and the car will be destroyed and killed!
…………
From acting in front of the camera to the layout behind the camera, Roland has no psychological pressure at all.
When you know what you need, are you still afraid that you won't be able to act?
What's more, he is not digging into the hearts of the characters now, complicating a simple character, and has to pursue the two-sided nature of each character - to be honest, the old man's movie This kind of black is black, and white is white character setting, in fact, is the most suitable for Roland to practice, he will not be like some stubborn directors, he has to pursue the good in the evil of human nature, or dig out the evil in the good of human nature.
Of course, the key to obedience is also related to the fact that there is no drama bully in the group.
If there is a Li Baotian and an actress who washes their feet for seven hours in a row, they have to take care of everything.
Li Youbing's kind of direct bombardment of the director in front of the media is not level.
Ginger mosquito doesn't matter who you are, Lao Tzu can make you angry to death.
Then Roland won't shoot.
But then again, there is an old man pressing the formation on the spot, and who else dares to say No?
Even if he became popular with "Big Boat" in the future, he had to let the film company send a special plane to take his friend from America to Thailand for a party, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the old man!
Not to mention, the group is all their own people, sell face to accompany you to take a few more pictures, and you won't lose a piece of meat.
And Roland is not the kind of devil who makes people catch up with "East Becomes West" during the day and "East Evil and West Poison" at night.
Occasional bursts of inspiration can take up to half an hour.
In addition, on weekdays, I often pay out of my own pocket and ask my assistant to buy snacks and snacks, and invite everyone to eat.
So the atmosphere is quite harmonious.
…………
Jumping into the position of director, while the crew was filming in an orderly manner, the outside world was also in full swing.
It's just that just in November, the result of Clinton's 'unexpected' election was like a monstrous flood, completely drowning the fire of love.
In the case of a difference of several times in the odds, there is such a thing, if Roland's scandal can still overpower the other party, then Roland will not have to make movies at all, clean up, learn from Reagan, and go directly to the election for commander when he becomes an adult.
However, even if this sudden unexpected news will not be able to raise the head of the hype scandal, but for Fox, it is a happy thing, after all, all news is time-sensitive, and after two months of continuous hype, people's attention and attention have reached a critical point of fatigue.
Even without this accident, Fox is ready to change the topic and push people's attention away from love......
This is like Ji Xiaolan in the Iron Triangle: when Yuan Li broke the news, it seemed that the media around the world were angrily laughing, saying that Ji Daxue was honest and his personality had collapsed; A year and a half later, as soon as the limelight of blowing up the ice floe to save the scientific research ship was low-key, the propaganda draft all over the world was that "flowing water does not compete for the first, and it can be blown for a lifetime."
The speed of change of mass news is like a cherry blossom, five centimeters per second.
With the landing of the petals, this stubble has been revealed.
And after the dust of the Commander fell, around November 10, Fox began the pre-release sprint promotion, and Joe Pesci, who was working on "The Bronx Story" with Robert De Niro, took time out to give an interview to the media with Daniel Stern, who was already a director and was preparing to shoot "The Golden Arm Kid".
As for director Chris Columbus, who is deeply bound to Fox, he went on a talk show that Fox had already arranged with Robin Williams, and broke some interesting stories about the crew's filming inside.
You read that right, it was indeed Williams, who first indirectly provided the Olsons with the news that Home Alone was auditioning, and the reason why they got together was actually because of the Jewish gang.
Jewish gang, resource exchange.
After the work became a big hit, director Columbus, who worked with Roland twice in a row, naturally became the target of those A-lists, and after getting the script of "My Fair Daddy" and becoming a producer, Williams aimed at Columbus, the hottest family comedy director at the moment.
In addition, the whole movie is invested by Fox, so helping to promote it is actually making a preview for future movies.
With the emergence of Williams, Roland's entire growth chain has finally surfaced.
At Catherine's behest, Williams took the initiative to break the news on the show, telling the audience about his relationship with the "Home Alone" series, starting from helping a friend inquire about children, to the subsequent accident that introduced Roland to the line, and then to the chance encounter during the audition for "Captain Hook...... Every step of Roland's growth is clearly depicted in the show.
After Williams and Columbus smiled at the camera and said that Roland was the hardest-working, hardest-working, and most talented child they had ever seen since they entered the industry, Roland appeared on the front page of the next day.
In fact, Roland has always gotten a problem wrong.
In his previous life, he saw a lot of things such as 'the queen of Hengguo filmed 365 days a year without rest, insisting on not being a stand-in', 'still working with a high fever of 40 degrees, going to various places to attend commercial activities', '48 degrees can sing and dance, and show her style on the stage', so he is very disgusted with the establishment of a persona, or the act of fixing an image-
But in fact, there is nothing wrong with the character and image, what is wrong is the showmanship and lack of self-discipline.
People are alive, which one does not have a mask?
Facing bosses, subordinates, customers, and even the circle of friends full of chicken soup philosophy, everyone is a master of Sichuan opera.
There is nothing wrong with setting up a persona, what is wrong is that I love to pretend too much, pretend to be too much, exert too much force, and too much.
But if you tell the facts that have already happened, the so-called backlash will not appear at all.
What's more, who are the guys who can stand up and say that Roland is excellent now?
Robin Williams, Chris Columbus, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg......
When these people were recalling the filming process and found that Roland was really capable of making trouble, wouldn't the image, or the character design, come out? And this way of doing it yourself and letting others say it is the safest......
Because in the eyes of the public, this is a group of very prestigious guys in the circle, and then use their reputation to endorse you.
Roland doesn't need to open his mouth himself, the thing is already done, and what he needs to do next is-
Business blows each other.
Your own people praise your own people!
As long as the factual basis is emphasized, who can find fault?
This is also the real reason why the Jewish gang rarely has problems with their image.
Well done, we have behind-the-scenes footage to corroborate, and what can't be known to the world, we have Mr. Tony!
As long as Sun, the fish market giant, Yiharmoni's brother Huang, professional commentary, and Donglai don't work, then don't panic~
…………
The last two weeks of sprint publicity are fleeting, and when a huge poster of "Home Alone 2" is pasted at the door of the theater, and commentary shelves are placed on the left and right, Thanksgiving Day is also quietly coming.
As for why the "Home Alone" series, "Christmas Groek", "Christmas Elf", and "Santa Claus" are not released in the real Christmas file, this is actually said.
First, the real Christmas schedule coincides with the promotional month of the Golden Globe and the Oscars, and if it is released at that time, it is easy to have a situation where the media from all sides cross the sea and show their talents.
You want to make money, others want to win prizes to make money, in this case, isn't it just that you slap me and I give you a fist?
Everyone is a businessman, everyone wants to make money, in this case, what are the two of us fighting with different categories?
There's a bubble in my brain!
It's better to take a step back and have November of Thanksgiving, so that commercial films can harvest the box office, and art films that are ready to rush for awards will be released in December, singing songs with word-of-mouth, and no one will delay.
Second, it's the real Christmas season, and that's for the kids!
Christmas movies, Christmas movies, as the name suggests, are painting big pies for children!
Released before Christmas, I believe that children with Santa Claus can face the window and pray to Santa Claus to make themselves handsome like Roland, and after the festival, the children will miss a day and wait for another year!
As a result, under the bombardment of media news, at about nine o'clock in the morning of Thanksgiving, not long after the doors of the studios around the world opened, those energetic children dragged their parents and rushed into the studios.
Unlike the situation in the 90s that relied on "Terminator 2" and relied on James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger to hype up the heat, this year, people's target is Roland, and with the influx of children, there is even a magical rhythm at the gate of each studio - 'Don't be ninety-nine-eight, don't be eight-eight-eight, just four pieces of eight, Roland will take it home.'" ’
There is no reason why children like it.
It may be funny, it may be fun, it may be funny, but no matter what you say, the guys who can come at the beginning of the morning are basically Roland's 'die-hard fans' - well, more people have seen the popularity of "Home Alone" and "Terminator 2", and are too lazy to queue up and compete for places on a cold night......
Watching a movie in the morning, going shopping in the afternoon, and going home to eat turkey in the evening, what a wonderful life!
But no matter what the reason, it is a good thing for a whole family to go out and squeeze into the theater to cheer.
And the movie itself naturally meets their expectations.
"Home Alone 2" and "Home Alone" are extremely similar in plot: in the first part, it is the old man of the neighbor who inspires the protagonist Kevin's life, and in the second part, it is directly replaced by the woman who feeds the pigeons; In the first part, the protagonist Kevin is left at home, and in the second part, he stays in New York; In the first part, when Kevin faced the thief, he was first afraid, and then he thought about fighting back, and in the second part, Kevin's condition is still ......
To put it mildly, this is actually like "Wolf Warrior 2", I copied myself, not only the narrative flow of the script is the same as the previous work, but even the stalks inside are extremely similar, if you have to dig into the depth, then I'm sorry, the connotation of the whole movie is no different from the previous work, the only thing that has changed is actually Kevin's state of mind: In the first part, when Kevin found himself alone at home, the whole person exuded a feeling of helplessness, but in the second part, when Kevin learned that he was separated from his family again, The kind of independence that has experienced, prepared, and self-grown is the biggest change......
From the initial time when you entered the store to buy something, you had to worry about being suspicious by the cashier, to now you can play New York City freely, and the kind of growth that is visible to the naked eye after two years has been able to meet the children's biggest imagination......
Of course, the most important thing is fun.
Kids, don't want to be Sherlock Holmes, suspense thriller, just let them say no.
And adults, the level is different, but whether it is an ordinary person who just wants to be happy, or a high-level intellectual with artistic pursuits, after taking their children into the theater, they will not bother with the plot bugs.
What drives them into the theater is the idea of watching a movie with the children, the idea of a family carnival, and the idea of spending Thanksgiving happily together.
What's more, if you really want to talk to your colleagues, will they talk about the movie itself?
Seldom!
They'll say, 'I took my kids to see Home Alone 2 on Thanksgiving, did you go?' Or, 'The little ones in my family like Roland Allen so much that they bought the same down jacket sold in the theater, and it cost me more than 200 dollars!'" ’。
They may not really like it, but they will definitely be full of well-intentioned helpless complaints.
Because of the initial driving point, they didn't have supreme expectations.
Is this a good thing?
This is definitely not a good thing for art films.
But for the family-friendly popcorn, the movie has been a success.
It's a pity -
No matter what era it is, there are keyboard warriors......
