As a filmmaker with the same surname as the discoverer of the American continent, Chris Columbus played an extremely important role in Roland's previous life.

Although he did not participate in international A-category film festivals, let alone try to win the Golden Globe Oscars, he is the founder of the highest-grossing magical series "Harry Potter" in film history.

The "Philosopher's Stone" and "The Chamber of Secrets" directed by him have turned the world's best-selling magical literature into reality, and "The Philosopher's Stone" has led the series all the way on the word-of-mouth list, until the final chapter full of feelings "Deathly Hallows (II)" is released, which will take it from the top of the list.

And John Hughes, a famous director of America, a master of youth films, can no compare with him in portraying the psychology of teenagers: "The Breakfast Club" is his famous work, with a cost of one million, a box office of fifty million, and a return rate of fifty times, making him famous in Hollywood; And his filming of "Spring is Not a Reading Day" was praised as a truant bible, and the truant whirlwind created swept the whole of North America.

These two are both big-name figures.

In Roland's memory, there was indeed a cooperation between them.

Although he didn't get the audition script and didn't know the audition role, the year 1990 and Fox Film Studios allowed him to guess the name of the entire project -

Home Alone.

Except for this project, there is no film that can fully match the existing known conditions.

But if you add 200 auditions, the roles he auditioned for are also about to come out.

Kevin McAllister.

The protagonist of Home Alone.

The audition project that the Olsons found for themselves turned out to be "Home Alone"?

Roland –

Don't know what to say.

What kind of movie is Home Alone?

The hottest Christmas comedy of the nineties, there is no one.

Not only that, but it is also the highest-grossing Christmas comedy in the Guinness Book of World Records.

This record, for the next 30 years, no one can break it.

The protagonist Macaulay Culkin became an instant hit with this movie, and after the filming of the second part, his salary skyrocketed to 8 million, and he was directly promoted to become the most expensive child star in Hollywood.

And now, such a project is in front of him?

Roland, a little surprised.

After losing the innocent talent of a child, he can no longer play the role of a real child who sells cuteness.

But Kevin McAllister, the protagonist of "Home Alone", is not the kind of real child character!

The Kevin in the movie is a big ghost, outwitted the bandits, and the calmness and wisdom he shows far surpasses his peers.

Not only that, because this is a comedy, the movie is full of a lot of exaggerated actions and exaggerated expressions, and these performance methods have nothing to do with the innocence of children; The most important thing is that at the end of the movie, Kevin's words of persuading the old man in the neighborhood show the logic of adult thinking; And these things, which happen to be what Roland has.

But—

Possession is ownership, and suitability is appropriate.

Even if the Tianhu start of "Home Alone" was placed in front of Roland, he was only excited.

There is no 'temptation' at all.

Because, he understands that this movie, this role, is not something that can be obtained through hard work.

In fact, this is a predetermined role.

In his previous life, when editing and commenting on "Home Alone", Roland checked a lot of information.

He knew that Home Alone producer and screenwriter John Hughes was a friend of Macaulay Culkin's father; He knew that the movie "Home Alone" was inspired by the work that John Hughes and Macaulay Culkin collaborated on for eight or nine years - "Uncle Buck"; He knew that the character of Kevin McAllister had belonged to Macaulay since its inception.

Audition for 200 people?

It's just a formality.

As a producer, John Hughes needs to give Fox an account, and he has to find a reason for Macaulay's selection.

As Roland had thought before: whether it is a TV series or a movie, the child protagonists are the product of capital manipulation.

The Olsons might be able to help him get an audition, but that's the limit.

Their arrival is just a formality.

And the truth is just as he expected.

When the audition began, he entered the venue without John Hughes' attention at all.

At the behest of the casting director, he first introduced himself, and then the examiner asked questions.

has the basic skills of his previous life, has the logical thinking of an adult, and his answer makes the casting director behind the audition table very satisfied, but unfortunately - here, there is no difference between you scoring 90 points and scoring 0 points.

Because, in this audition, there is no second round at all.

After Roland showed off his talents, he could clearly see that the two casting directors kept glancing in the direction of John Hughes and Chris Columbus while they bowed their heads and communicated.

They obviously have something to say, but in front of the word "inner determination", everything seems so pale and weak.

Eventually, they only communicated with Director Columbus for a while, and then let Roland go home.

This result also made Roland, who was alive again, emotional.

"Relational households, related households."

"Everywhere you go, there are related households."

Because it was a whisper, David did not hear his words clearly.

But the expression of shaking his head with emotion was cleared by the other party.

Seeing that Roland's interest was not high, David who brought him here was also unhappy.

He brought Roland here to let the little guy relax, not to Roland, to find something unhappy.

However, the results of the audition were not under his control.

"Roland, it's okay."

"In a person's life, you may encounter all kinds of problems, some will affect your life, and some will cause damage to your soul, but these things are not important, looking forward and making yourself live a better life is the most important thing."

Feeling the big hand on his shoulder, Roland laughed......

Perhaps, this is what the other party has always wanted to say to the real Roland, right?

"Uncle David, I'm fine."

"I didn't care because I didn't expect to be selected in the first place."

Don't care?

How can it be?

Although Roland has always felt that it is not a good choice to enter the industry at his current age.

But the treasure in his head needs money to dig up!

"Home Alone" can be a help for him to dig for treasures, but if he can't get this movie, there is no way to do it.

Of course, even if the crossing could be chosen, he wouldn't choose Macaulay-Culkin.

Compared with Mr. and Mrs. Olson, Mr. and Mrs. Culgin, black-hearted.

Everyone wants to have a good start in their lives, but even if they don't get it, they can't waste their time on jealousy.

At dinner, perhaps it was because David had told him everything.

So Garnetty and others did not ask Roland about the process and results of the audition.

After hastily eating, Roland got up and said goodbye, went back to the next door, washed up, and lay down on the bed.

By the darkness of the night, Roland stared at the ceiling with a blurred vision and sighed.

"Other traversers are hanging, why don't I have them."

"If you don't, forget it, the problem of age makes me unable to show it, so it's very troublesome......"

sighed for a while, and Roland threw the depression in his heart out of his head.

Incarnate lemon essence to get the Tianhu start, but it's Shenchao!

He Roland doesn't know how to do magic, so don't feel sorry for himself here.

Clear your mind and close your eyes.

That night, Roland had a dream.

He dreamed that he had entered the industry.

Not only that, but he also topped out Macaulay Culkin and became the protagonist of Home Alone.

However, just as he looked at David in his dream, signing the column of the contract guardian-

The music of "Come and get your love" came suddenly.

Opening his eyes, Roland looked at the clock energetically.

Early in the morning, six o'clock.

"I always want to be the protagonist of "Home Alone", ......"

"How deeply am I hurt by capital......"

Roland, who was sitting at the head of the bed, smiled self-deprecatingly, in his previous life, he was kicked out of the circle by capital because he offended Xiao Xianrou.

Because of this, he became calm after learning that his audition role belonged to Macaulay Culkin.

Because, having seen the power of capital, he understands that fairness is never shouted out of his throat.

There is no need to reminisce about the taste of failure, and for Roland, constantly reminiscing about the past is tantamount to wasting time.

Brush your teeth, wash your face, take a shower, and enter the study to remember the general trend.

However, just when he wanted to record the treasure in his head in shorthand and find a path that suited him-

The sound of thunder came suddenly.

"Roland! Open the door! ”

"My mom told you to go for breakfast!"
