Chapter 297: Paying Debts, Old Man

"Got the news that you went to Kate's house last year when you were filming Private Ryan in the UK?"

The host clasped his hands on his knees and looked expectant.

"Oh! Do you ask such a hot question as soon as you come up? Yes, I went to Reading and met her family. ”

Roland raised his eyebrows at first, and then generously admitted the news.

"What made you go to her house between filming? Is it because of love? ”

The host continued to ask, looking at the two of them, their eyes were full of gossip and envy.

Roland was on the wrong side of the sword, and did not say the answer that people craved.

"Can I say that if I don't go, you'll probably never see me? She had to pull me over! ”

"Huh?" There are a lot of small question marks on the host's head.

Kate covered her mouth and laughed when she heard this, and while taking the topic, she slapped Roland's arm with her hand wearing an engagement ring angrily, "Shut up!" Don't lie here, okay! ”

"It was he who 'lied' to me to call David and Ganetti's parents on Christmas the year before last!"

β€œWhat? What's going on? We didn't even know that before! ”

The host incarnated as Jia Ling, unabashedly showing surprise and curiosity, "Can you share the story with us?" ”

"Of course......" Kate nodded naturally.

However, just as she wanted to share, Roland suddenly spoke first, wanting to expose the topic.

"Ah, actually, that's the way it is, you can't blame me......"

Finding this, Kate glared at her directly, "Then blame me?" ”

"Blame me, blame me, you say, you say ......" Roland, who was stared at by death, instantly withered, and the style that I couldn't beat and didn't dare to beep made the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV all show a smile of an aunt who watched the show.

"Oh my God! The atmosphere when the two of them get along is so sweet! ”

"Although Roland showed weakness, the eyes that looked at Kate were tender, which is too favorable!"

Although Kate is complaining about Roland's actions, how can there be dissatisfaction on her face? What a laugh! ”

Of course, some people rejoice and some people hate.

Some didn't deliberately watch the show, but just inadvertently entered the channel, saw the live broadcast, and found that the lovers were telling the story again, and a wave of helplessness came to their hearts.

"Didn't he give interviews much before? Why do you see news of him every day now? ”

"As an actor, you don't do a good job of filming, and you want to make money by selling your private life?"

"It seems that after winning the Oscar, he floated, and the original down-to-earth child disappeared."

After attending Berkshire Hathaway's shareholder meeting and redefining the direction of his company, Roland began to pay off his debts again, and in mid-May, together with Kate, he accepted a talk show arranged by Paramount for the release of "Saving Private Ryan".

After the Oscars, in an interview with Time magazine, the two only explained the content related to "Titanic", and did not mention the experience of accompanying them when filming in the UK, and now, this is the main thing.

Although in the past few months, the two have often been mentioned by the media, and the relevant emotional experiences have been repeated thousands of times, but because of the toothpaste-like reprint, every time the news is disclosed, new content is generated, so the vast majority of fans are still willing to watch it.

Of course, because it is not a 'big right and wrong' news similar to the revision of the Star-Spangled Banner, but the daily gossip of celebrities, the reactions aroused are multiple, just like "Spider-Man" has attracted a lot of male fans to Roland, but female fans find this kind of movie boring, just like "Titanic" kills women of all ages, but eats behind closed doors with male fans, no one has ever been able to please everyone, and the king will not disgust everyone, more often, People's feedback on various news is based on their own position, not on the rights and wrongs of the event itself.

Therefore, the pros and cons of excessive consumption are also vividly reflected in this talk show.

In Roland and Kate's fan forum, restless fans are giving the guys who didn't watch the live broadcast the story of Roland tricking Kate into calling David and Garnetty', telling the story of Kate threatening Roland to go home to see his parents, not only that, but IMDb, which has been sold to Amazon, has received countless reminder emails, and fans who are rolling in dog food are desperate to see this movie database modify the life information of the two.

But at the same time, those who are suppressed by dog food powder and dare not come forward are dissatisfied with this overexposure in other sections - 'At the beginning of the year, it was on the front page for a month because of the news of the box office!' Then it was on the front page for two months because of the question of whether to win the award! Then because of the marriage proposal at the Oscars, it made headlines for two more months! And now it's because the story behind the filming of "Saving Private Ryan" continues to make headlines? ’

'Is he still an actor?' Headlines every day? ’

'The point is, don't you think Roland went to Kate's house during the filming process, which is a very disrespectful performance? Not good at filming, full of falling in love? Then isn't it good for you to ask for sex to be an actor and go home with Kate to have a baby? ’

No way, in the Internet era, all feedback is so fast.

Those who admired Roland for his dedication are now dissatisfied with Roland's marketing, while those who just want to gossip are showing great interest in the current operation.

As for neutrality?

In many cases, the Centrist Party is often the ones who don't think much of a big deal when they see the excitement, and they wish that the two opposing sides would fight, and the more ferocious the fight, the happier they will be, and they will be bored anyway......

And Roland himself, he doesn't care about these things anymore.

Although this kind of thinking is cruel, the movies he loves are just a tool for him now.

If it is said that after breaking box office records and winning the Oscar, he has become a 'legend' in the eyes of the public, and the public hopes that he can continue this 'legend', because excellent works are the foundation of his success.

Then he'd be thankful to the public who expected him to get better and better, and then turn around and hug those dog food powders.

Because these guys will brainlessly pay for his goods, and the guys who are eager for works will only pay for good works.

This transformation sounds unapproachable, but fans and celebrities, isn't it the relationship between leeks and old farmers?

You don't spend money, so why can you say you love me?

If Roland used to interpret the lives of different characters according to the script, so as to gain fame and fortune.

So now, he wants to interpret his life into the love of a guy who is willing to pay for it.

Although he still thinks of himself as an actor, the core has changed.

Tools aspire to be capital, and once they do, no one wants to go back.

Of course, in addition to the filming experience in the UK and the interesting anecdotes between the two of them, the news of Roland's appearance at the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting in early May has also become one of the topics of talk shows.

In the face of such an inquiry, Roland, who did not want to hide it, generously admitted his identity as a shareholder.

"Yes, after getting paid for Home Alone, I asked David to use all the money to buy shares in BRK."

"The average price? The average price is almost 15,000 ......"

"How much do you hold in total? Less than Charlie Munger and more than Bill Gates anyway ......"

"On the rich list? I'm sorry, but I won't submit forms to Forbes or Forbes, which are not the IRS or the SEC, and don't have the authority to ask me to submit asset information......"

…………

After paying off the debt owed to Paramount, Roland, who didn't work much after filming "Saving Private Ryan", officially entered the intensive training stage to prepare for the upcoming filming of "Spider-Man 2 and 3".

At the beginning, Roland met the old man Yuan Baye again.

Three years have passed, and it seems that there is no trace on this old man's body.

And the reason why I was able to answer the phone and rushed over was purely because people were in the Warner Studios in the same city, tinkering with "The Matrix".

After letting Roland follow what he had taught before, the eighth master wearing a peaked cap shook his head with a smile.

"It seems that you haven't continued to practice, and your movements are rusty."

Roland was not ashamed, "No way, there are too many things......"

The eighth master nodded, indicating understanding, "It's okay, there are still two and a half months, we have time, just start from the beginning." ”

"You're not going back to Warner?"

"There's my apprentice watching over there."

After buying the North American screening rights of "Red Fan Zone" and putting it on the market, the relationship between the two sides became a lot closer.

Although they didn't communicate as often as the Jewish gang, they still connected with each other during the holidays.

The business on the side of "The Matrix" was also communicated by Roland, and with the good effect of "Spider-Man", Warner naturally did not doubt their level, because of Roland's intervention, the two sides cooperated very happily.

Of course, maybe it's because Roland discovered the treasure of kung fu films, but it's more like those capitalists who saw the value of the big nose, after the explosion of "Red Fan Zone", when Roland was focused on "Titanic", Cheng Long was still poached by the new line that had a good cooperation with Golden Harvest, but with Roland's existence, the speed of the Jewish gang pushing the project this time was very fast.

"Jackie Chan's 'Rush Hour' is coming out in September?"

At the end of the three-hour training, Roland, who was sweating profusely, brought up the guy who brought him countless memories.

"Yes, there are too many summer blockbusters this year, so it's a little safe in September."

"Did you have any trouble shooting?"

"No, I've heard them say that Bright is good to them."

"Okay, it's good that you haven't been in trouble, if you need anything, call me directly."

"Okay, I'll tell him."

"It's not just him, it's you, I like your work."

"Thank you!"

The main reason why Cheng Long was able to kill all sides in Hollywood was more than one grade higher than Li Lianjie and Fa Ge, and the main reason was that after a failed encounter, he didn't choose to fool around, but climbed the big guy from the beginning.

is different from Li Lianjie, who accepted Time Warner's invitation to shoot "Lethal Weapon", and has played with Wu Baige since he landed in North America.

A Jew.

Looking at Breett Ratner's resume, this guy who only started making music videos in the 90s looks like a novice at first glance, and compared to Cheng Long's qualifications, he is a stinky brother, but many times, this kind of newcomer's qualifications are not the most important thing at all, because this guy graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts with a major in film and is a student of Martin Scorsese.

Of course, the more important point is that this guy's tuition is paid by Steven Spielberg.

Effort is important, but most of the time, opportunity is more important than effort.

Cheng Long's action comedy may be the key to his foothold in Hollywood, but finding the right person on this basis can achieve twice the result with half the effort; In Roland's previous life, after working with Brett Ratner, Cheng Long hooked up with Steven Spielberg, the man who has been singing for countless years, 'How did you jump from this building to that?' The dialogue of "it's very simple, start, jump, shoot, stop, and send to the hospital" is born out of this.

Later, when "Western Regions Dragon" hit the streets, Cheng Long also got DreamWorks' "Magical Tuxedo".

Although this movie also hit the streets, compared with Li and Zhou, who had no chance after pounced once, Cheng Long's treatment was much better.

And in this life......

Roland doesn't know if they have met, but judging from the current situation, Cheng Long's experience is still good.

…………

After entering the official training, Roland didn't go around and stayed in Los Angeles honestly.

In late May, there was nothing to do, and in early June, students were on vacation.

Because David was going to Omaha with his wife to negotiate, and James's cub refused to come home on vacation, so the difficult task of taking care of the children fell on the heads of the two of them.

The point is that when she helped take care of the children before, Kate promised the three children that she would take them to New Zealand to play during the summer vacation, so after the holiday, when the three little ones were noisy about going on vacation, Roland was left at home by them.

Looking at the dark room, Roland really wanted to order a big golden retriever version of "Treat Loneliness as Dinner".

At this moment, he finally realized the loneliness of being far away from home-

It's great that no one cares!

Although Roland still doesn't participate in any extravagant parties, after the morning training, he goes out to surfing, fishing, solo sailing, beach volleyball...... It's all arranged!

It's always okay to just watch from a distance and not play indecently, right?

Kate is also quite powerful, and she took three Lala Fat to play outside for a month before coming back!

Of course, it won't work if you don't come back, because "A Natural Pair" starring the Olsen sisters is about to be released......
