Chapter 44: Spielberg's Little Secret (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
When Roland listened to the effect of the live radio, apologies appeared on his face.
"Chris, I'm so sorry that the intense study of the past few days has caused me to confuse my California accent with my Oxford accent."
Since that day, Chris Columbus informed Roland of the news of the important person of "Captain Hook", and revealed some inside stories, Roland's relationship with him has become one step closer, what Columbus director, what Chris director, these honorific titles were directly dismissed by Roland - when communicating, he directly called the other party's name, and Columbus, not only didn't care about these little things, but had more good feelings for Roland, who let go of politeness.
After seeing the little guy apologetic to himself with his eyes lowered, Columbus, who wanted to say a few words casually, swallowed back the words on his lips, took the headphones handed back by Roland, and asked with concern: "It's difficult?" Not easy to distinguish? β
Of course, Roland knew what the other party was talking about, nodded his head, and said: "yes, the difference between the Oxford accent, the London accent and the California accent is quite big, if I hadn't learned this thing on purpose, I wouldn't have known that just a London accent can be roughly divided into a wealthy West Side accent and a commoner-dominated East Accent; There are also two kinds of Oxford dialects, one is the Conservative Received Pronunciation of the Queen's ******, and the other is the Contemporary Received Pronunciation of the radio accent......
After these days of study, Roland finally figured out which actors in the circle have London accents, like Michael Kane, who will play the butler in Nolan's version of "Batman" in the future, is the standard West End accent, and Professor McGonagall, who will play the elderly Wendy in "Captain Hook", is the same, as for the Oxford accent? The most typical representative is the old queen dialect and the younger contemporary dialect, the queen dialect does not need to be explained, and the contemporary dialect refers to the radio dialect, and the representative of its standard pronunciation is Mr. Bean, who has a doctorate degree but has played a fool all his life, Mr. Rowan Atkinson.
βOhβ¦β¦ Okay, okay, don't tell me, I have a headache when I hear it. β
Seeing that the little guy had the intention of pouring bitter water, Columbus hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted his words.
At the same time, he also said with emotion: "It seems that you really want to win that role......
"Chris, if it were you, you would be like me, wouldn't you?"
Regarding Columbus's emotion, Roland shrugged his shoulders and asked rhetorically.
"Like you?" Columbus was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Of course......"
"It was because of the movie "The Godfather" that I applied for the film department of New York University."
"After learning that Steven liked my Little Devil, I met him for the first time, and I didn't sleep all night with excitement."
"When I worked with him on The Goonies, I felt that I could learn a lot from him."
"And this time, it's been more than six years......"
"Okay, I can understand your feelings."
"Although your studies interfere with the progress of the crew, ......"
"Let's shoot those action scenes that don't require dialogue first."
"Give you a week to get the accent adaptation done, and after a week, we'll shoot your literary drama."
"What do you think of this arrangement?"
"Thank you very much, Chris." Roland didn't have any objections and nodded gratefully at the other party.
Regardless of the territory, changing the shooting schedule is a big deal.
While the saying that plans can't keep up with change can be applied everywhere, no one wants surprises.
In most cases, forcing the director to change the shooting schedule because of the actors themselves, it will basically cause dissatisfaction among the crew, but who asked Roland's next project to be revealed by Columbus himself?
What's more, Columbus himself also rose to the sky from the bottom of the poor and white, he knows better than anyone how attractive the name Spielberg is to the bottom of the circle, he can understand Roland's situation and pressure, and he has been given the opportunity, and he is willing to open a convenient door for Roland.
Of course, in addition, Roland's relationship and the convenience of the crew are also the key to Columbus's connivance.
Under the premise of harmony and wealth, why should he be a wicked person?
So, with the unification of their opinions, the crew's shooting schedule has also changed.
Although this situation has affected many people, several main creators have no intention of being verbose.
First, everyone is in the same camp and knows what Roland is planning; Second, Roland's attitude on weekdays is very good, during the break, he is either sharing snacks or playing, singing and dancing, and after changing the shooting schedule, he even brought handmade small pastries to everyone, although it is not a valuable thing, but the mind has arrived.
What's more, how many of the guys who can enter this group are poor?
Therefore, with Columbus's permission and Roland's overtures, the change of the crew did not make too many waves.
Not only that, but when Roland borrowed money from David and bought a small gift as a token of gratitude, which he gave to the whole group......
The members of the Jewish gang directly revealed a little bit of information related to Spielberg to this little guy who wanted to win the project - and this time, it was really a fingertip universe.
"Roland, let me tell you, when you audition for "Captain Hook", don't mention your father like when you audition for "Home Alone", Steven's father Arnold participated in World War II and was a communications officer for the radio station, he was very fascinated by the aerospace industry, but Steven did not inherit his career, he was disappointed, the relationship between their father and son was not good, in this case, you only need to introduce yourself with a little news of the death of your parents, needless to say."
Columbus shoved the small cake brought by Roland into his mouth, and as he chewed, his tone became slurred.
And after he finished speaking, Joe Pesci, who had swallowed the coconut macaron, took over the conversation and continued: "But even so, Steven's first work, the movie "Combat Team" related to the theme of World War II, was also filmed by his father to help him find a relationship, in 61, fifteen-year-old Steven entered the Army with his father's relationship, and with the help of those uncles, he finished the whole short film, which is also the reason why the Army is very prone to appear in his movies, because of one of his phone calls, It can solve many things that small and medium-sized film companies can't do. β
"Yes, yes, Chris and Joe are right." Daniel Stern nodded: "I heard Woody (Allen) say that Steven's parents divorced in six or six years, and after that, his father did not remarry, but his mother remarried - although he has always followed his father, he has a better relationship with his mother, and the script written by Chris before, the juvenile model of "Little Devil", was made by Steven according to his mother's appearance, I remember that his mother also took pictures with the finished model, right?" β
"Yes, I know it, it is." Columbus picked up the juice and took a sip, swallowed the small cake at the same time, and nodded: "If you want to introduce your life experience, then start with your mother, maybe it will be better......"
When Roland listened carefully to the news revealed by these seniors, the corners of Mohami's mouth, who was sitting on the side as a tool man, twitched - for him who likes to tinker with programming, Hollywood in Los Angeles is too unfamiliar, but even so, Spielberg's name, he still knows, in addition, he knows even better, Roland is fighting for the project, how good it is, and he has even thought about it, after Roland is developed, he will hug this thigh.
Want to start a business but don't have the money?
Isn't there a guy next to him who spends money like water?
As long as they can coax this child to invest in themselves, won't their start-up capital come out?
Of course, all of this has to be built on the basis of Roland's development.
If Roland spends David's, uses David's, and eats David's, as he does now......
The plan to attract investment will certainly not succeed.
But the problem was that just as he pondered what the odds were of the studious Roland winning that project.
Everything in front of him stunned him.
Isn't an audition an exam?
Let the director and producer review your skills and determine if you're qualified.
Can ...... now
What the hell is the source of the information that he likes?
Roland, who directly entered the third round, was already born in the Destiny Circle!
In this case, you also provided him with three flare guns?
Belch...... Wrong......
It's super aiming deployed!
it! I want to report it! There's a scientist here!
When everyone finished eating snacks and returned to the dressing room to prepare for the next shooting, Roland, who saw Mohami's strange complexion, directly narrowed his eyes, "Mike, what are you thinking?" β
Since there was no one else in the lounge, Mohami bluntly exclaimed, "Roland, I am in silent mourning for your opponent. β
"Although I don't know who your opponents are, ......"
"They shouldn't be taught directly by these people like you are now, right?"
Pre-audition training is all too common in Hollywood.
The guys who want to get the role are like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.
They will inquire about the preferences of producers and directors through various relationships.
Prescribing the right medicine is something that all insiders will do.
This is not an exam competition in an ivory tower, and no one will find these methods very shameful.
"Don't Don't ......"
However, when Roland found out that Mohami was actually breastfeeding himself, he shook his head directly, "Don't rush to mourn for them until the dust settles......
"After all, no one knows what the other candidates are."
Before the contract is signed, Roland will not relax in the slightest.
Although he doesn't have any memory of the actor of Peter Pan's son in "Captain Hook" in his head, he will not take it lightly - he has heard a lot of self-made stories, but how many are true?
What married a rich cousin, what mother is an IBM director, what daddy is a congressman......
These things are not going to be written in the autobiographies of those people.
It's good to listen to the inspirational stories of successful people, just like Spielberg, who Roland needs to impress now, who is poor and white, and his family is poor, all because of his talent and intelligence, he can get the help of nobles...... These are all fake.
If he could, Roland even wanted to ask Aunt Garnetty to follow the path of Robin Williams through director Howard's connections and inquire about the other candidates.
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
As long as he can win this role, Roland can do anything.
Of course, don't even think about selling PG.
"Well, be careful, I can understand ......"
"Is there anything I can help me with? Just bring it up. β
Mohami now has a lot of thoughts about Roland, and no one wants Roland to concentrate on preparing for the fight more than him.
In the face of his inquiry, Roland heard the sound outside the strings, and after thinking for a few seconds, he shook his head directly, "It doesn't seem to be." β
"If I had to say it, the audition time was actually in the summer after the filming of Home Alone."
"At that time, your employment contract with David had already expired."
"If nothing else, Garnetty shouldn't have the time to take me to the audition."
"David is going to take care of his business."
"In this case, they will probably hire a 'tutor' for me again."
Hearing Roland say this, Mohami suddenly came to his senses, "Don't be so troublesome. β
"If you need to, just call me then."
"You don't have to negotiate money with me, although I signed a tutoring contract with David, I didn't teach you anything."
"The subsequent pick-up and drop-off is my after-sales service, otherwise, I will have a hot hand ...... this money"
Money is hot?
Come on!
Roland rolled his eyes, and he was still in his right mind, and he directly made up Mohami's thoughts.
Didn't Mohami just use him as a money bag? I hope that when I start a business, I can get his help (investment) (capital).
Although it doesn't feel good to be regarded as Kaizi, but-
It depends on the person, right?
If it was those women in the bar and nightclub, even if it wasn't the type to press F to get into the tank, Roland would definitely not pay attention to it, but now......
Mohami is a very nice guy.
"Since you said so, then I'm not welcome then."
"I'll definitely call you on the day of the audition, and don't tell me that you won't be able to pick me up the next day."
"How so!" Mohami hurriedly packed a ticket for Roland, "I will graduate in the summer, and I won't go to work at Western Digital with the salary that David has settled for me, I have already told Alan Adhan that when the time comes, rent a house as an office, pull the company up first, and after receiving the order and making money, I am thinking about the future." β
WhatοΌ
Are these guys ready to start the game?
Sure enough, having money in your pocket is confidence.
"I'm relieved if you say that, and when I call you, there will be no psychological pressure."
"Okay, let's not talk about it, I'm going to make up and film."
"Action scenes, the most troublesome thing, I don't know what time I will shoot today......"
