What was Christopher Culkin thinking?

John Hughes simply didn't bother to pay attention.

He knew that his old friend was a smart man, and he would not do anything to hurt the enemy eighty or lose a thousand to himself.

After leaving the café and being bored, he came to the set after disposing of the chores in his hands.

Because it was a meal, when he arrived, the main creator of the crew was dining in the restaurant.

It seems that the amount of food is not large, but it is more like it has been eaten.

When he pushed open the door of the restaurant, the light and happy tone on his face attracted his attention.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Roland, who was dressed in cool summer clothes, was holding the guitar at the moment, skillfully plucking the strings.

Daniel Stern, who was sitting on the side, holding a knife and fork, twisted his body even more in response to the occasion.

What Western food etiquette, what silence, these things have been completely lost by them.

Looking at the shaking red wine glass, staring at the stretched facial features and extremely relaxed figure, John Hughes, who suddenly appeared behind everyone, put his hands on the back of the chair and said with a smile: "It turns out that the crew can drink at night?" ”

The sudden words attracted everyone's attention.

The word drink made them raise their eyebrows, and when they found out that the person who spoke was actually the producer of this film, the ruthless look of wanting to fight was immediately put away, replaced by a familiar smile.

"Oh, John, you must not have eaten when you came here at this time, did you?"

"I'll let the chef make it for you."

"Sit down, don't stand."

"We don't drink much, a bottle of wine for three people, it won't affect the evening shooting."

At the instigation of the crowd, John Hughes took his seat.

Looking at the empty wine bottle on the table, he smiled and said, "Your treatment is much better than that of other crews!" ”

"Can you sit together and have a drink before filming a night scene? This is something that many people can't envy! ”

In fact, there are generally explicit provisions in the agreement of Hollywood crews.

When the crew was filming, the main creative team could not drink alcohol or weed, so as not to cause filming accidents.

But few people will abide by these terms.

Brad Pitt and Edward Norton have a drink first in the play, it is well known, Johnny Depp even carries a bottle of Chivas by his side all year round, and the Harley Quinn Margot Robbie will drink a bottle of tequila first when filming a restricted plot...... Some guys can only act well if they drink alcohol, in this case, how can the investor explicitly prohibit it, and the production director in charge of the team will turn a blind eye; At this time, even Spielberg couldn't get the actor to stop drinking, and it was with his acquiescence that Robert Shaw's panic in "Jaws" became a classic.

Of course, it's clear to everyone that John Hughes isn't talking about drinking to have fun.

He is saying that the treatment of the crew of "Home Alone" is several times better than that of other film crews.

While the other crews were struggling hard where the birds didn't, they were living in Los Angeles, living a comfortable life of getting up early for the crew, going home after the show, and occasionally working overtime.

"We can have the life we have now, and the most thankful thing is naturally Roland."

"If it weren't for David Olsen providing the filming location, we wouldn't know where to heat up right now."

"When we were talking about the project, I said that the location was set in Illinois."

"If we really went to that place to film, how could we be as comfortable as we are now?"

They're not stupid, how did the crew stay in Los Angeles?

Everyone knows it in their hearts.

If it weren't for David Olson's generosity, they would not be able to sit together and drink and fart and listen to music, even if they ate normally, it would have become a problem for them.

Everyone is human, and no one likes the life of 996.

A comfortable working environment can make people feel more happy, and in this case, when someone mentions it, the first thing they think of is the person who can provide convenience for them.

Feeling the eager smiles of everyone, Roland, who was playing casually, put down the guitar in his hand, shook his head with a smile, and said: "Oh, NoNoNo, the main reason why Uncle David provided the shooting location was because he couldn't go to Illinois to accompany me, and Aunt Garneti still had to take care of Ashley and them, so leaving me in Los Angeles became their first choice." ”

"Of course, this is also thanks to the great support of Director Hughes and Director Chris."

"If they weren't sure it would work, we wouldn't have stayed."

The polite words made everyone present laugh, and after hearing Roland's praise, John Hughes, who was still in an unhappy mood, had already dissipated from the unhappiness of witnessing the fall of his old friend.

Macaulay Culkin?

I didn't choose him.

If this kid is really called into the crew, then the last unlucky one will definitely be himself.

"Alright, Roland, don't be modest."

"When I came to check with John, he was full of praise for it."

"You see, your words have made him laugh."

"Why don't you go and pour him a drink, he likes sweet."

"Oh yes, talk to the chef in the back of the kitchen and let him have dinner."

"Okay." Roland answered and put down the guitar in his hand.

And with his departure, the faces of several people at the same table also showed hearty smiles.

"You ...... That's it for him? "John Hughes was a little surprised.

In his impression, the guy who comes in by virtue of his relationship will at least have a superior posture.

Whether it's an adult or a child.

But this kind of posture is not at all on Roland.

"This kid is very good, without the arrogance of those rich people." Daniel Stern nodded.

"It's even better than they say hello." Joe Pesci poked a broccoli and put it in his mouth, "Unlike those newcomers, he should have learned a lot, and the questions he asked were more interesting, and he wouldn't be as young as his peers." ”

"Since you're here, why don't you stay, there's his scene at night, you can take a look." Columbus laughed.

If one person says that Roland is fine, it may be a business blowing each other, and if two people say that Roland is fine, it may be that the relationship is supreme, but if all three people say that Roland is fine, then it can explain a lot of problems.

John Hughes, who wanted to tell everyone that the trouble had been resolved, and was about to say hello and leave, immediately suppressed the doubts in his heart and stayed according to everyone's wishes.

After dinner, when he returned to the camera, when he saw Roland Allen as much as possible according to Columbus's request, the tireless face in the camera made him relaxed.

He could feel it, and that smile came from the heart.

Roland is rejoicing to be able to star in this movie.

"The matter has been settled."

"That guy won't come back."

"You can shoot in peace."

After the crew finished work, John Hughes told his intentions.

And after hearing his affirmative words, everyone in the main creative team just nodded and did not speak.

This performance not only did not cause John Hughes to be dissatisfied, but made him somewhat happy.

He knew that these people were taking care of their own feelings and didn't want to inquire about his privacy at will.

However, on the way home, Roland laughed.

And this time, when Mohami, who had been sticking to his post, cast a puzzled look at him, Roland did not hide his thoughts, "Everyone has their own story, you have it, I have it, and Director John has it." ”

"There are good and bad stories, but most of them can't be shared with others, and only you can see the ending."

"Director John saw the end of a story today, and he was very happy for that."

"And I'm happy for him."

The words in the clouds made Mohami his head dazed.

Shaking his head, he directly judged Roland's logical thinking to zero.

Since I don't understand what Roland's brain circuitry is like, I don't want to study it.

With this spare time, it is better to read two more books and figure out how to get the latest version of SFC in November this year.

Although Mohami didn't continue to talk to himself, Roland didn't mind at all.

In fact, after hearing the story of John Hughes from director Robert Zemeckis, he has always been very interested in this guy, of course, this interest does not refer to welcoming men, but to know how John Hughes will handle the relationship between him and Culkin with his involvement.

This man is far from being as beautiful as the outside world imagines.

In his previous life, he was mixed to the end, and he had no friends.

And in this life, Roland hopes that he can live a little more comfortably.

Even if John Hughes only summarized everything in simple words and did not elaborate on the process, from the relieved face of the other party, Roland could see the relief of the other party.

Of course, this kind of joy in the heart will never be put on the table by Roland.

At the same time, he also understood that his previous fears were gone.

At least, Culkin's guy will no longer have an impact on the crew.

Now that he learned that the possible problems had been nipped in the bud, Roland's next days were much more comfortable.

He has not experienced the filming of six days off and one day off in his previous life, he has experienced it in his life, the six-hour working day that he has not touched in his previous life, he has enjoyed it in his life, and he has not seen the auditor of the insurance company in his previous life, he has also seen it with his own eyes.

Not only that, but he also saw the cow beep of the American Child Protection Society.

"I said no! This is very dangerous behavior! You can't let a ten-year-old sliding down a staircase more than three meters high on a skateboard! Absolutely not! ”

"It's not negotiable! As long as you dare to put Roland Allen on it, we'll officially investigate the entire crew! ”

"Even if the insurance company is willing to underwrite it, it can't be!"

"Roland Allen, don't say any more! Not even if you want to! We're protecting your life now! It is your legitimate rights and interests that are safeguarded! Why do you keep talking for the crew? ”

"Slings? Slings are still allowed if there is Wia protection, but sliding stairs is absolutely not okay! Because no matter what kind of protection it is, a skateboard that moves at high speed can cause disability or death! ”

"Say no more! If you insist on shooting live, then we will contact the MPAA (American Film Association)! Let them improve your movie rating while it is being reviewed! At the very least, it has to be PG-13! ”

Yes, when the crew needed to shoot the scene where Roland was skateboarding alone at home, the insurance company that got the news came to the door with the Child Protection Association, and in the face of this extremely dangerous clip, both sides said no.

The auditors of the insurance company were two white men, and after looking at the set-up, they simply said that they would not be covered; The staff of the Children's Protection Association are a man and a woman, the men have not spoken much since they arrived, and the black women, who are strong and have a loud voice, have the posture of a tongue war, and the crew is speechless.

When the director of Fox production repeatedly assured that he would not let the crew continue to shoot this clip, those guys retracted their hideous faces, waved their sleeves, and did not take away a single cloud.

"Director, why don't we shoot it another day?"

Looking at the sad Columbus, Roland said his thoughts, "In a few days, when the impact of the matter subsides, we will be filming, don't look for them when the time comes, just carry the camera up?" ”

"Roland, forget it, if something happens to you, the crew will get into big trouble."

Chris Columbus shook his head and directly dismissed Roland's idea.

Although everyone appreciates Roland's dedication very much, you must know that when Roland learned that the director hoped that he could shoot live, he didn't say a word, and just wanted to go up with a skateboard, but for his safety, and for the whole crew to operate normally, but also so that the crew would not be seized by those annoying associations.

After careful consideration, they still gave up the plan to shoot live.

"So what do we do now?" For the first time, Roland was disgusted by his age.

Of course, the main reason why Roland wants to shoot is that he thinks this behavior is quite exciting and wants to give it a try.

As for what dedication to art?

It's all Chris Columbus's brain.

"Take a close-up of you get on the skateboard, then you strap the camera to the skateboard and take a downhill shot, and the skateboard carries you out of the gate, with a leash and a mannequin instead, and you just have to shoot the part where you slide on the snow and end up overturning." In response to Roland's question, Chris Columbus directly gave a substitute plan.

Why is Hollywood's film industry famous worldwide?

Is it because everyone is working hard and working hard?

Is it because all commercial films are produced step by step according to the process?

Is it because it has the most advanced technology?

No......

The main thing is still forced.

The union thinks your shot is too dangerous to shoot.

The association thinks that your plot is prone to accidents, so it won't let you shoot.

The auditor thinks that you can't put this picture, either cut it out or raise the rating.

Under the pressure of those frames, all kinds of bizarre shooting methods have appeared.

Just like "Fast and Furious", most of the drag racing scenes are filmed with a tow rope.

If something happens to the actor, what will be lost is the green Franklin.

Meryl Streep fell directly into the rapids when filming "Wild River", if she was not saved, how much would she have to lose? Johnny Depp fell off his horse when filming "The Lone Ranger", and it was thanks to the horse that he didn't step on him, otherwise how much would he have to lose? When Jason Statham was filming "The Expendables 3", the truck failure took him directly into the sea, if he was not rescued, the crew shutdown was small, and losing money was a big deal.

Even Tom Cruise, who has always been known for his dedication, was almost killed while filming "Edge of Tomorrow", and in the face of such high-risk shooting, the crew didn't want to take risks at all.

In fact, compared with green screen cutouts, Hollywood project teams, before signing a contract with an actor, will specify in the contract which shots must use stand-ins and which shots will definitely use green screen.

Why?

is afraid that the actor's head will be hot, so he has to go on it himself.

When shooting dangerous shots, the project team will force you to use a double double, and if you don't use it, you will have to pay liquidated damages.

And the reason is very simple.

Because of many dangerous scenes, insurance companies will not cover them.

In addition, it is also related to the fact that actors are the biggest commodity in the circle.

"Roland, don't think about it yourself, listen to the director."

When Joe Pesci pulled Roland away with a smile, Roland, who couldn't play in person, was a little regretful.

Under everyone's persuasion, he could only stay aside and watch the stunt team perform with everyone.
