"Roland, I don't need to introduce this one again, do you? Directed by Francis. ”

Chris Columbus, who was constantly shaking Roland in the hall, nodded at the other party, and after finishing speaking, he turned around again, raised his hand and said to Roland: "Director Francis, this one doesn't need me to introduce, Roland, the one you have made a statement." ”

"Director Francis, it's such a pleasure to meet you."

Looking at Coppola, an Italian immigrant with a beard and a cosmic mafia all the time, Roland's face was filled with an excited smile.

The "Godfather" trilogy is his favorite movie, there is no one, Marlon Brando's performance is heartbreaking, the ambiguous way of speaking is the object of many young people's fascination and imitation, and the series of movies is even more about crime, conspiracy, and deceit, and the family and love are also delicate and precious.

Truth be told, for Roland, meeting Francis was far more exciting than learning that Spielberg had signed him.

That kind of excitement is like the release of satisfaction when a child gets his favorite toy, and it is more like the countless warm currents that emerge in his heart after achieving his wish.

He stretched out his hand happily, wanting to shake it politely with the other party, and wanted to feel this classic guy up close.

However, it seemed to see Roland's sudden burst of excitement, and it was like a mysterious contact of brainwave currents, after seeing Roland's face with a sincere smile, the bearded man with glasses squatted down very naturally, opened his arms, and took the initiative to give him a big hug, "Oh, child, I can see that you are really happy now......

As the final chapter of the "Godfather" series, "The Godfather 3", which was released only last month, although it had bad reviews and could not be compared with "Home Alone" at the box office, it still won seven Golden Globe nominations, including Best Picture, Supporting Actor, Best Director, Screenwriter, Original Song, and Film Score.

Because of this, Francis Coppola, the director of "The Godfather 3", also appeared at the awards dinner.

However, because the other party belongs to the finale, Roland will meet him at this time.

Of course, time is not the key factor that hinders the communication between two people, and the sense of distance from the first meeting also disappeared without a trace in front of the word "own person", although it was only about a quarter of an hour before the official start of the award ceremony, but Roland, who wanted to stretch his enthusiasm, still talked a lot with each other.

For example, Roland told Francis seriously how much he loved Vito Corleone and liked his successor Michael, and that kind of behavior made Francis smile even brighter when he nodded and listened-

'George, Steven, you two taught students for half a day, and in the end you still liked my work more. ’

Although Roland's fan-like behavior Francis has seen too much, and he himself doesn't like his "Godfather" trilogy, but Roland's nature, after all, is different, he represents the duel between Lucas and Spielberg in teaching disciples, and once this disciple defects, it will be him.

Of course, no matter how he was secretly happy, that was just the boasting point of their brothers when they chatted and farted in private, and after seeing that Roland had the intention of continuing, this guy, who was over half a hundred years old, interrupted Roland's words in a soft way, "Oh, dear, if you like Michael, you can go directly to Al......"

"However, I heard when I first came here that you and Al had a good conversation about "Hot Afternoons"."

Even though the facts were 'ruthlessly revealed' by Coppola, Roland didn't feel anything wrong at all, "No, director, I like your Michael, and I prefer him to play Sonny......"

"Really? I didn't expect you to be able to treat your work differently from people? Francis looked surprised.

"No, it's because you're so controlling, that's why I'm surprised to find that two works, two ales."

"Michael is your godfather, and Sonny is Al's unlucky guy to the perfect one."

Roland's serious flattery made Francis laugh, and he raised his hand and tapped him on the shoulder a few times, and just as he was about to say something, the music of the invitation to the awards dinner also sounded.

Unlike other award ceremonies, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony is called a dinner because the invited guests do not have to sit upright, but gather around a table, eat snacks, drink wine, accept the trophy very happily, or watch others lift the award.

If Roland was a few years older, or if there was no one above him, then the organizers would definitely match him with a hot female companion in order to consume him, and now...... Throughout the audience, they were the only ones at the table, and they were all black.

Francis Coppola and Martin Scorsese sit in the center, followed by Al Pacino and Andy Garcia, who starred in "The Godfather 3", and Joe Pesci and Lonan Breco, who starred in "Goodfellas"; Of course, Mario Puzo, the author and screenwriter of "The Godfather", was also present, and Nicholas Parergy, who was nominated for Best Screenplay for "Goodfellas", also appeared at this table, so that, plus Roland Allen and Chris Columbus, the two stars and directors of "Home Alone", the table was full of ten people, and all the special code was Jewish gangsters.

Compared with them, the people at the other tables are a little inadequate.

Although Bernardo Bertolucci, who won the Oscar for Best Director for "The Last Emperor", and Kevin Costner, the director of "Dances with Wolves", were all present, even if they combined, they could not shake the status of the Jewish gang leader.

Yes, after sitting down, Roland found that he was sitting in the best position on the scene.

"Wow, looks like I'm going to make headlines again tomorrow."

Because of the previous communication, Roland can vent all the desires that he has accumulated over the years, so when he speaks, he seems extremely relaxed, not only getting rid of the identity of the fan brother, but also taking the lead in joking with the big guy at the table.

"Haha, just get used to it, you'll make headlines countless times in the future."

Joe Pesci took Roland's words and quipped, "You know, as soon as I film with Martin, the press release will go up and down, and even when the police patrol, they will focus on my house." ”

"Why?" Hearing him say this, Roland was suddenly a little curious.

However, before Joe Pesci could speak, Scorsese, who had greeted him before, raised his glass and took a sip, and then said with a smile: "Because in order to maintain his condition, he often takes the props in the crew home." ”

"Sometimes when you take that kind of imitation gun, it's really no different from a gangster."

"By the way, aren't you filming "Terminator 2"? You can imagine what it would have been like if the police had found a real Gatling in the trunk of Arnold's car. ”

Oh，my God……

Hearing Old Martin say this, the nine people at the table immediately smiled and shook their heads.

What will happen to the police?

That must be a pleasure to arrest the future governor for illegal possession of firearms!

After all, the T-800 is not John Wick, and it is impossible for someone to help him deal with the police after handing over a single gold coin.

…………

Maybe it's because the style of the Golden Globe Awards is really too low, or maybe it's because this is the way to present the awards at this dinner, after the awards ceremony begins, even though the camera is next to him, the guys at the table are still chatting without a word.

Everyone's expressions were relaxed, as if they didn't care about whether they won the award or not.

But it's right to think about it.

The guys at the table have either won the Golden Globe or the Oscar, and in this case, of course they don't care about these things!

And what about first-time nominees like Roland?

The probability of being hit at the first mention is still too small, so they will not care about whether the host on the stage will report their name.

There's no way, I've been around the big guy for a long time, and under the influence of my ears and eyes, everyone is very Buddhist about this kind of small award.

And in the Buddhist system, there are a lot of words.

You've never seen a big mountain in such a formal award ceremony......

Eh, Roland experienced it for himself today.

Like, 'Martin, how is your 'Horn of Terror' going, do you need me to edit it for you?' Roll ......'; For example, 'Francis, after your "Godfather 3" hit the streets, will anyone still invest in "400 Years of Vampire Zombies"?'" You go away ......'; For example, 'Al, when will your movie remake of "Woman's Fragrance" be launched?' If you think the director can't do it, we can change it! We can go back and talk about this......

At first, after hearing the words "Woman's Fragrance" and the remake, Roland didn't react to which movie this group of guys was talking about, but after he connected with Al Pacino, he realized that this group of guys was talking about "Smelling Fragrance and Knowing Women" as long as their dancing skills are good, blind people can impress women'!

The kind of classic movie in the previous life, in the mouths of these people, jumped out like a person who didn't want money.

However, Roland can also understand.

After all, many movies have become classics in the hands of those creators.

What the?

Is this view wrong?

The original books of many movies are very good?

If you want to say that, it will be a bit unreasonable.

Whether this movie is made well or not depends on the director.

You must know that there is a writer who finds the most suitable actor to play the characters in his pen, and lets the director who knows the original work best to shoot it, and is not stingy with the production budget, and does his best to bear the expectations of readers, and takes great pains to respect the original work......

But despite this, everyone still thinks that it is a bunch of bad movies!

Defy?

If you don't accept it, apologize to Guo Xiaosi first!

╮(╯▽╰)╭

With the passage of time and the continuous progress of the award process, they who did not win the award also shifted the topic from movies to other aspects - they chatted about the hottest gossip at the moment, the war outside the circle, red wine and food, and public relations.

On the issue of public relations blowing water, they directly talked about Stallone.

Although Stallone and Roland have no intersection, he dissed "Home Alone" last time.

And after he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, he realized why Stallone would boycott their movie.

Is it because of Arnold Schwarzenegger?

No kidding!

Stallone isn't really stupid!

It's not that he has a bad brain, so he took the initiative to stand up and fight the Jews for a little box office.

The reason why he stood up and angrily sprayed "Home Alone" was completely in line with the hype of the crew of "Home Alone".

If there is only one kind of praise on the market, the audience will definitely be suspicious.

No one can be perfect, and if someone likes it, there will definitely be someone who hates it.

Only the coexistence of two voices will drive the audience to the theater.

When those critics didn't speak, Stallone was the best sounding board.

What new feuds and old grudges?

The presence of the future governor only makes this outburst more real.

After all, Francis's sister is on the crew of "Rocky", and not only that, but she has also starred in all the series.

Stallone's anger is actually the result of Francis's good connection.

Everything, for the box office.

And this kind of truth makes Roland unable to complain.

The big guy who blows the water and the black hand who spews angrily are all their own people?

Grip the grass, it's simply ......

Absolutely!

Just when Roland was sighing for the bloody truth, Martin, who was talking about this, suddenly paused and turned his gaze to Roland, "Speaking of Michael, I remembered one thing. ”

"On the red carpet before, Roland played and sang and danced the songs of the Red Bone Band, which is very individual, did he learn it specifically?"

What？

Seeing that the other party shifted the topic to himself, Roland, who wanted to continue listening to the gossip, suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Although he learned his guitar from Papa Spike Lee's band guitarist, and danced with Garnetty, he hadn't practiced since he left Time Loop.

In this situation, Scorsese praised him, and he really felt ashamed of those teachers.

"Learn casually, play ...... fun"

Although Roland wants to hide his 'unskilled' skills, Joe Pesci doesn't think Roland is playing casually, "Martin, don't listen to Roland's nonsense, he plays very well, he sings well, when he was filming before, he played these things in the crew every day, Chris can testify." ”

"Yes, Roland likes to play a song during his lunch break, saying that it is to relieve our boredom." Columbus nodded approvingly.

Listening to the words of the two pig teammates, Roland's face suddenly grew.

It's not that he thinks he can't play, but his technique, in front of Francis, isn't that just Lu Ban playing a big axe in front of the door and a big knife in front of Guan Gongmen?

He was born into a musical family, his father is a composer, a flutist, and not only that, but he also won the Oscar for Best Original Score for his son's "Godfather" trilogy.

In the face of such a remarkable record, they also said that Roland sang and danced well, so didn't he deliberately cheat him?

However, before Roland could think of an answer, Scorsese's follow-up words were thrown directly.

"It's okay, I'll just ask, it doesn't matter if you haven't learned it systematically, I've watched all your playing and singing, and it's completely usable."

Uh-huh?

Hearing what the other party said, Roland, who still thought that Chris Columbus and Joe Pesci were suspected of killing, immediately sat up straight, judging from Scorsese's words, this guy seems to have some projects and needs to use himself?

And just when he was about to ask, Francis, who was sitting next to Scorsese, was suddenly startled and suddenly said: "Martin, I also remembered that incident, doesn't he need a famous white boy in his next MV?" I mentioned it to us before and asked Roland if he could go ......"

"At that time, I was busy with the release of "The Godfather 3", so I just forgot about it, and I wanted to ask Steven."

"Yes, I mentioned this in November, and if it wasn't for Roland just playing and singing, I would have forgotten about it." Scorsese smiled and nodded, the spirit of not accepting old age has been disappearing with the decline of memory.

However, at the same time that the two of them suddenly realized, Roland was confused.

Francis and Scorsese's friends need a little white boy with a big name? And you have taken a fancy to yourself?

Not only that, but is this still going to be an actor in the MV?

Hold the grass! What kind of project is this, he can't remember it at all!

But—

Even though Roland's memory is in a hurry, he is still very interested in the project that the two bigwigs said.

After all, the guys who can be friends with the big guys are all big guys!

Just like Spielberg likes Akira Kurosawa, can you imagine that due to the fact that many movies hit the streets, the investment amount of Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece "Shadow Warrior", which has been resting at home for five years, was brought by Francis and Lucas?

And in order to keep Kurosawa's creation from interference, the two also co-authored as producers.

To put it mildly, if it weren't for Roland's opportunism, this solidified circle of classes would not have opened its doors to him.

The friend of the big guy is always the big guy, this sentence, when to put it, will not be outdated!

Because of this, although Francis and Scorsese are talking about the MV project, Roland is also interested in hearing it.

Isn't it just going to shoot a MV?

And you won't lose a piece of meat!

Even if you don't have money, it doesn't matter, you can just carry forward your style!

What is the best feature of the Jewish gang?

Isn't it just huddle for warmth and resource sharing?

Now Roland has been using the resources of the Jewish Gang, although these guys don't care, but if they are in need, then why doesn't Roland return the favor?

You know, mutual contact is the long-term solution!

So, before they could start talking, Roland had already answered.

"Someone wants me to shoot a music video? No problem, I'll definitely go as long as time permits. ”

"Of course, if you can, Director Francis, Director Martin, it would be better if you could each of you give me an autograph."

"I have a hobby of collecting, but I can't bring a signed book last time and this time, and I hope to make up for it next time."

Such a happy 'transaction' made the two directors who were in 'chagrin' laugh at the same time.

"Oh, no problem, you can sign as many signatures as you want, Joe told me before, you're a very communicative kid."

"Now that I look at it, it turns out to be so."

Scorsese nodded with a smile and reached a consensus with Roland very happily.

And Francis, who had talked to Roland before, also pulled his beard and said with satisfaction: "Since you are willing to go, then I am relieved." ”

"And I'm sure Michael will be very happy to see you."

Oh......

It turned out that the singer's name was Michael......

And Stallone by name......

Roland, who was smiling together, knew something about the singer.

However, in the next second, he exploded.

What？！！！

That singer's name is Michael?

Before Roland could respond to the other party's words, he reacted and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

There are a lot of guys named Michael in America, and there are a lot of big guys, but it's very rare to shoot MV big guy singers!

There are even fewer singers who can be friends with bigwigs like Francis and Scorsese!

And in Roland's memory, in his previous life, there seemed to be only one Michael who could call them brothers!

Francis and Scorsese said Michael, could it be him?

When a figure with a forty-five-degree tilt appeared in Roland's mind, he was suddenly a little unsettled, and when he realized it later, he cast a puzzled look at Francis and Scorsese, and the two 'old men' nodded at the same time:

"yes, that's him, Michael Jackson."

Roland, who hadn't taken the MV to heart, suddenly scolded the street in his heart.

It's really Michael Jackson!

Hold the grass!

The big guy's friend is the big guy, this sentence is really a truth!
