Chapter 151: Tragic Experience, Fortune from the Dead, New Historical Record, Salary in Exchange for Share
Is Rivan Phoenix experiential?
Roland was a little surprised, he really didn't know about this before.
But listening to Robert Zemeckis say that, he can understand......
Because in this world, there is no natural actor at all.
Anthony Hopkins, who is regarded by various media as the ultimate actor, the most elegant demon in the world, is not one, in many acting schools' villain characterization classes, he is the one who appears most often, but those acting teachers will only tell students how to learn to imitate, but never tell others, Anthony Hopkins's eyes can never be copied, because his tragic childhood is the root of his ruthlessness.
His father was a very self-ego baker, he didn't let him play with his peers when he was a child, and the only way to pass him was to hold him and touch the ceiling, plus he suffered from dyslexia, had no friends, and no head, so he became a nervous loner who was often bullied by others.
This childhood experience is the most valuable asset of his performance, he wants to get rid of the shackles of his father, but he is isolated by his peers, and his personal experience of unpretentious emotions is the root of his success, blindly imitating, it will only become a failure.
And Marlon Brando, the same, his mother was an alcoholic, his father was violent, when he was a child, because he was too bearish, his sister even tied him up with a belt, when he was in the military school, he hated the assembly bell at every turn, so he went to tear down the bell, in front of this series of life experiences, his performance was naturally aggressive, and it seemed very flamboyant.
When he opened acting classes in his later years, Harry Stanton, Hubby Goldberg, Edward Omos, Sean Penn, Nick Nott, Robin Williams, and Leonardo DiCaprio were all present, but no one learned a single cent from him, in the words of Spielberg's first agent, Marlon Brando's most trusted Mike Madavoy, that is, Marlon Brando is the only and unique life experience that made him extraordinary.
This is also the reason why the acting skills of many older generation actors can crush the new generation, not only because they have lived long enough and have rich accumulation, but also because the era in which they live is full of all kinds of uncertainties.
Before they got together, that kind of bizarre and different life was the weight of their fame, and after the class was solidified, their children, the so-called second generation of stars, were naturally not as good as their fathers and mothers.
How many guys who grew up with a golden spoon in their mouths can achieve real emotional expression?
Performances without emotion are just marionettes, and at that time, only the way of expressionism is suitable for them, maybe as they get older, they can get changed, but there is a high probability that before the change, they have been abandoned by the circle, because these guys don't make money......
That's why the Jewish gang likes to praise actresses and production directors.
The actress again, she can also play a vase; And the production is the secondary use of contacts; As for the director......
As long as you can tell a story, you can take your time like Quentin Tarantino.
And the actor ......
Jason Statham is known as the most handsome Guo Da in the world......
Dwayne Johnson is constantly shaking his eyebrows when he plays everything......
Although they have a high income, they are actually genre actors.
And let those second-generation stars, Tom Hanks's son go wrestling, Will Smith's son go to diving?
It's impossible to think about......
Since they can't be genre actors, and they don't have rich emotional support, even if someone teaches them, it's useless......
Tiger father and dog son, the audience can't accept it.
The death of Rivan Phoenix is heart-wrenching, but more than that, it's just an after-dinner conversation.
And Keanu Reeves related to it also made headlines, and the news that "Life and Death", which was invested and produced by Fox, had started filming spread all over the country, stepping on the heat of Rivan Phoenix's death, and doing a marketing campaign ruthlessly.
As for Leonardo DiCaprio?
This actor, who has always been called that if Rivan Phoenix is still around, he will never be able to get ahead, is also active in everyone's sight, not only because "A Different Sky" starring him and Johnny Depp will meet the audience this winter, but also because Xiao Lizi took over the two projects that should have belonged to Rivan - "Total Eclipse Love" and "Edge Diary".
But......
These three movies have no impact on Roland at all.
"Speed of Life and Death" is indeed Keanu Reeves's famous work, with an investment of 30 million in exchange for a box office of 350 million.
"Total Eclipse Love" is a same-sex biopic, and "Edge Diary" is a biopic of a sloppy character.
The three movies portray two paths, one is commercial, and the other is to win awards, but commercial Roland can crush Keanu Reeves and win awards...... Roland is like this now, where does he have any plans to win the prize?
He didn't take that group of judges seriously at all, but he had the same attitude as Steven Spielberg and James Cameron, if you like my movie, vote for me, and if you don't, then hit until you like it.
It's as clean as that!
Just be tough and don't back down!
However, just when Fox and New Line made a fortune and forced their Keanu Reeves and Little Plum to the headlines, the huge remembrance and the release of the new project did not last long.
Because on November 9, the world announced a 'new' news.
After being released in North America for four consecutive months and completing the film in 30 countries and regions around the world, "Jurassic Park" ......
It's over a billion!
When this news came out, people inside and outside the industry who were already psychologically prepared were silenced!
Billion! A billion box office in ninety-three years! Compared with more than 80 countries and regions in the future, the current screening scale is half less! But even so, the movie box office still broke through the ten figures!
What does this mean?
It was Steven Spielberg who proved himself once again, and he knows what exactly the audience likes?
Is Roland once again favored by God after "Home Alone" 533 million, "Terminator 2" 524 million, and "Home Alone 2" 421 million? pushed the cumulative box office of the movie starring the individual to a terrifying 2478 million?
Neither!
In the words of ABC anchors: What is more valuable than making history is that they explore the ceiling of the market again and again!
Although as early as the box office of "Jurassic Park" exceeded 100 million in the first week, some people publicized that the total global box office of this movie may exceed one billion, but when all this really happened, we found that the original speculation and foreshadowing would not stop us from falling into shock. tells us that the ceiling of the global box office is far more than five or six billion, and eleven years later, he proved with his actions that the purchasing power of fans and audiences for good movies can reach ten figures. β
"When many directors are still thinking about what kind of movies they should make, Steven keeps challenging himself and paving the way for his peers behind him, he tells his peers with irrefutable results, as long as you shoot something that the audience likes, the audience will do their best to repay you, this kind of benign market feedback, this spirit of audience first, is what every filmmaker should learn well, indulge in yourself, and will eventually bring the entire industry into a niche ......"
"Of course, when "Jurassic Park" became the first film in film history to break the billion-dollar box office mark, we also have to pay attention to Roland Allen in the movie, this is the fourth time he has become the American box office champion of the year, and the most surprising thing is that this is the fourth consecutive year of results......"
"If we thought of him as 'a guy kissed by God' in '91 years, now he may be an angel sent by God! Because of all kinds of analysis and data, it is impossible to infer why people choose his films! But now, it seems that people all over the world are liking him! I don't know how long this liking will last, but I do know that there's nothing wrong with liking Roland! β
"After other actors become famous, they will go crazy to take on projects, and according to the rules of the ridiculous artist status ranking, A-list will never match B-list, but what about Roland? Even if his achievements are enough to crush a bunch of people, he is still accurately positioned to enter the crew, compared with those guys who only look at the coffee position and ignore the script, Roland is simply a model! β
"Not only that, but unlike those who became famous, the guys who were crazy about making money, Roland chose to take a break from filming and precipitate learning while continuously creating history, and the filming of "Forrest Gump" is his class, according to our understanding, Roland deliberately asked Tom Hanks for advice in order to improve his skills, to be honest, when we learned the news, we were shocked, because we knew that Roland can now get at least 20 million for a play, but even so, he still gave up money, I chose to improve, and this spirit makes me feel admired......"
Such an evaluation is far more than ABC.
While making history, Roland Allen was hailed by the media as America's cinematic miracle.
There is no way, the billion-dollar box office of this year is really terrifying, and they believe that in the future, this record may not be broken, and Roland, who is sitting at the top, is enough to look down on all his peers!
If it were a different story, these comments might have excited Roland......
After all, he is now the first person in history!
That's something that Kobe Bryant can't envy!
But nowβ
His goal is to be the next all-time first!
In the case of preparing to play with himself, no matter how hard the wind blows outside, it will have no effect on Roland......
Because he really wants to know how else can the media, which has hailed him as a miracle, when he breaks his own record, blow?
This time it was an angel on earth, and the next time, wouldn't it be God who boarded the big ship?
And compared with those crazy praise media reports, what Roland cares more about is actually sharing.
In the previous life, the box office of "Jurassic Park" did not exceed one billion, but even so, Spielberg still took 250 million of it, and now, Roland can take 8% of it!
Although it is far inferior to the other party, it is also 8000000!
You can take away more than 80 million yuan in less than half an hour, and this money is also very profitable!
"It's good to make money, but the problem is that you still have to pay taxes!"
After seeing Roland hang up the phone excitedly, Tom Hanks, who heard the conversation, shrugged his shoulders directly and said: "Even if there is a company to post the account, you have to pay 30%, and the last thing left in your hand is more than 50 million......"
"More than 50 million? Isn't more than 50 million money money? Roland glanced at the other party angrily.
Just when he thought that Hanks was envious, jealous and hateful, this guy suddenly replied, "Of course more than 50 million is money!" β
"So I deducted all the salary of "Forrest Gump" into a 14% dividend......"
WhatοΌ
Hearing this, Roland's eyes widened suddenly.
Before he could ask, Hanks continued: "I think this movie will do very well at the box office. β
"That's what I thought when I saw the revised script."
"And your joining has also brought me great confidence......
"So I asked my agent to talk to Paramount and swap the pay for the box office ......"
Okay......
Hanks made a fortune.
Roland clearly remembers that "Forrest Gump" sold 670 million!
According to that number, Hanks can take nearly 100 million this time, and after adding his X factor, then he ...... Maybe you'll earn more?
Roland was a little sour.
However, just as he was thinking about how he should congratulate the other party in advance, the mobile phone rang again.
When I picked it up, it turned out to be an unfamiliar number this time.
After connecting, the guy on the other end of the phone was a little familiar, "Roland Allen? Hello, I'm Jeffrey Katzenberg, maybe you haven't heard my name, but don't worry, I got your phone number from Steven's hand......"
Jeffrey Katzenberg?
How could this guy Roland not know?
He is one of the future DreamWorks Big Three, specializing in DreamWorks Animation, and leading the team to tinker with the "Shrek" series, "Madagascar" series, "Kung Fu Panda" series, "How to Train Your Dragon" series, "Crazy Primitives", of course, this is all in the future, he is still the chairman of Walt Disney Studios.
And his purpose in looking for Roland is also very simple, that is, to care about Roland's body.
"I heard you're in the voice change period? More than ten months have passed, is your voice stable now? β
"If you don't mind, when you get back to Los Angeles, you can try it out at our Disney dubbing studio?"
"We have an animation project similar to "The Prince's Revenge", and we would like you to voice it......"
