Chapter 101: Forced squeeze, family harmony
??Chapter 101 Forcibly squeezed, family harmony
??What are child stars most afraid of?
?? No items?
??As long as you are valuable, there are endless special offers.
?? No money to earn?
??As long as you are willing to accept it, the endorsements of various children's products will be like snowflakes flying all over the sky.
?? No ascending channel?
??As long as you work hard to improve, don't try to die, and turn into a mess, it's still fine.
??Compared with these things, what they are most afraid of is actually the lack of exposure.
??'Times have changed, Gul'dan. '
With the rapid popularization of the Internet, many practitioners in the entertainment industry will talk about this sentence. They feel that in the era of closed news, the reason why actors take the mysterious route is entirely because the publicity channels are all controlled by capital. For their works, they have no good way to communicate with the public at all, and the Internet of Everything will completely tear up this layer of barriers, and the unlimited exposure rate will make overnight fame the norm. In this case, an operation account can make Fans know whether they have been kidnapped or not.
??It’s like the guy who couldn’t release a song, but publicly stated on his scarf that he was going to the electric vehicle maintenance forum to upload audio.
??If there is no channel to express yourself, the vast majority of people will really forget you.
??Compared with these grown-up guys, the exposure channels for child stars are actually narrower.
??Why?
??Because many things can’t be uploaded!
?? And even if it does, your fans won't be able to see it!
??For example, magazine interviews, this kind of exposure channel is indeed one of the main publicity channels of traditional media, but the problem is, how many children who have no financial resources will buy this stuff?
For another example, fashion endorsements, regardless of whether they are actors or actresses, endorsements in the fashion industry are very important to them, because no matter how good the acting skills are, how classic the works are, the awards are soft, and the box office records are scary Personally, but laying out global fashion endorsement ads is the embodiment of your continuous exposure rate. The global hard broadcast can make your face appear in front of the public continuously, and this kind of exposure is much better than variety shows, because you are being While being remembered by others, they will not be bound by the characters brought by the variety show, but the problem is-the eight red bloods and the five blue bloods will not find children to endorse them! Because of the fan benefits for children, these luxury brands can't enjoy it at all!
??As for those Forbes gadgets with super high traffic...
??In the millennium, Jack Ma bought it by himself for the sake of popularity!
??Now, as far as Roland's wealth is concerned...
forget it.
??In this way, non-stop squeezing has become the main theme for child stars to gain attention.
In fact, Roland has always felt that although Macaulay Culkin's father is very unreliable and turned his son into a cash cow, his philosophy is correct. , Unlimited filming is the best way to maintain his son's coffee position, and let his son be active in front of the public forever. This is really a disappointment, but compared with passing away, having money to eat is the most important thing! If it weren't for his oppression back then, Macaulay's personal life might be very comfortable, but the money used for living expenses would definitely not be as much as it is now...
The same is true for the Olsen sisters at home. After Garnett and David divorced in the previous life, they let their daughters frantically take on filming projects, chasing bad money from fans everywhere, but without these capital accumulations, they will be nothing when they grow up. Fashion brand?
??'Keep the classics and walk away', 'Make money and look forward to the future'-these are actually two ways of thinking.
They are contradictory and not compatible. Unless they are cheating like Roland, no child star can make money without hurting his reputation. If there is no foresight, Charlie Cosmo's choice is the best example.
??In this day and age, holding the thighs of the Jewish gang is much safer than going to Cameron to gamble your life.
??However, the pursuit of stability means slow development.
??So, when MJ's "blackorwhite" MV is shown on the huge screens in the commercial streets of major cities in America, the exposure rate that appears in turn is far higher than that of variety shows, interview articles, and luxury endorsements...
When people walking on the street see the child appearing in the MV, the familiar and unexpected emotion, like a virus, can spread among the crowd, even those who don’t listen to MJ songs very much can also feel it. Hence the discussion...
?? "Oh! Isn't that Roland?"
?? "He actually filmed the MV with MJ?"
?? "I just watched his movie in Xia Tian, ??didn't expect the rate of rise to be so fast?"
??...
?? "Who is that little boy in Michael's MV? Why does he look so familiar?"
?? "Roland Allen? Oh, I remember, I saw his movie with my ex-girlfriend last Christmas."
??...
?? "Mom, who is that little brother? It's so cool to play people away with the guitar!"
?? "Him? I don't know, but he should be a very good guy to be the lead in MJ's MV, right?"
??...
??Movies are indeed the cheapest form of entertainment.
?? But that doesn't mean that everyone will go to the cinema to watch movies.
??Because if this is the case, then according to the 80/20 law, plus a population of 250 million, the box office of "Home Alone" in America should be at most 980 million, not 300 million after the extended screening.
??Because of this, there are actually many more people who don’t choose movies as entertainment than the expected moviegoers.
?? In this way, there are actually many people who don't know Roland.
And in this case, following MJ on the billboards of major cities around the world is what Roland can get right now, and it's best to expose it. Curious, he thinks that his personality is not that great, he only hopes that those guys who are unfamiliar with him, when they see movie posters in the future, can follow MJ and think of everything today, that’s enough—he’s not Franklin , was not printed on the green banknotes, he only hoped that his popularity would continue to spread, so that the guys who knew him would continue to grow.
?? After all, only when you know each other first, you will like it later.
??Although Roland was very satisfied with the 15-second long commercial, and was surprised by the extent of the epic record, but compared with his colleagues who hated him, Roland's small surprise was nothing at all.
??MJ's MV is a super-large advertisement promoting Roland's status?
??Fuck! Would you like some face?
??People just use you to balance the skin tone! You are a tool man!
When Christopher Culkin saw the MV all over the world and heard the news that Roland's guest star "Captain Hook" would have its premiere in early December, the helplessness and numbness that surged into his heart made him sit decadently. In the chair, it is difficult to extricate myself.
Although when "Home Alone" started, he went to John Hughes to seek justice for his son, and was choked speechless by the news revealed by the other party, but this does not mean that he will give up on that.
??The fire of "Home Alone" made Christopher jealous. He felt that Roland had taken away everything that should belong to his son, but the problem was, even if he was dissatisfied, who could he turn to for reasoning?
?? In this way, Christopher, who has no way to go to heaven and nowhere to go to earth, can only smash his teeth and swallow it.
??I accept any audition, and I don’t dare to raise the price randomly.
Because it is cheap, the acting skills are good, and the experience is rich, under the management of the old man, Macaulay successfully got the project of "Baby Little Lover". The development was on the right track, but it didn't happen. Just when the movie was about to be released, there were overwhelming advertisements on the market, all of which were related to "Captain Hook" and Roland.
Sony, the investor and publisher of "Captain Hook", hired Spielberg for the sake of performance. After the MV is back on track, and after the global airing, they will of course strike while the iron is hot and start promoting "Captain Hook".
??Even if Roland's shot in the whole movie is less than three seconds, it doesn't matter!
?? A wave of publicity under the name of guest star, no matter how many children are attracted into the theater to watch Peter Pan, they are all earning Sony! (This is just wanting to eat fart! The money is obviously made by those three guys who get the share!)
??Although Spielberg did not allow them to play misleading promotional slogans such as "Children's scenes are directed and filmed by Roland", "This is a beautiful fairy tale world", so as not to fall into the mouth.
?? But the easter egg promotion of "Looking for Roland Lens" can still be broadcast!
??Because of this, when Sony began to promote "Captain Hook" in a hurry, the "Baby Lover" project with Sony's company was immediately thrown into a corner, and no one paid attention to it.
??‘Macauley Culkin? '
??'Who doesn't know! '
'What? Are you his father? Want to ask us about the promotion of "Baby Little Lover"? '
??'Go aside! go aside! '
??'Overseas "Terminator 2" has not been finished yet! America is going to spread "Captain Hook" across the board again! At this moment, who cares about your "Baby Little Lover"? Roland can make us earn 10 million more in three days, can your son do it? '
??When Sony put such a reply on Christopher's face, the guy who hoped to become a success almost died of anger.
??He really wanted to point at the Sony staff and shout: "Home Alone should have been my son's work! Roland Allen just got the project because of those Jews!"
??But he understood that if he really said that, then "Baby Lover" would be over.
?? In Hollywood, no one can offend the Jews.
??He can yell aloud today, and tomorrow he can be pinned cleanly until he can't get up.
??Want to make your son a popular actor?
??Dream more in this life, maybe it will come true in the next life!
??...
??Of course, regardless of whether it was the broadcast of the MV, or whether Sony used "Captain Hook" to squeeze Macaulay's "Baby Lover" while the iron was hot, Roland didn't need to care about these things.
?? Or in other words, these bad things never reached his ears at all, and they were gone.
So far, he has not formed his own team, hired public relations, and recruited assistants like other colleagues. All of them are people sent to him by David, but this does not mean that no one is helping him control public opinion. up.
It doesn't matter whether it's the brokerage contract under the name of CAA, or Catherine Kennedy who actually handles his business, or David, who has long since handed over Roland's public relations business to the Olsen sisters who also manage the public opinion of the Olsen sisters. It is the person who helps him deal with the outside news, and there is a reinforcement company - if the artist is really the same as in the novel, everything depends on himself, then there are only two situations, one is that the author really does not understand, and the other is kung fu The godson of the emperor.
??"Struggle", "Snail House", "Ocean Paradise"; "Snow Leopard", "The Era of Naked Marriage", "33 Days of Broken Love"...
??With resources, backstage, and father, one step at a time a year.
but-
??Who let him commit suicide?
??The point is that while doing death, the team is also like a waste.
??I was stared at by Zhou Yi for eight months and didn't find out. What's the use of that group of teams?
?? After killing the stewed meat during the Chinese New Year, I was extremely ashamed and panicked!
??However, it's actually a good thing that Roland doesn't have to worry about it.
?? Firstly, it can prove that he is acting upright, and secondly, it can prove that there is nothing wrong with the outside world.
?? If something happens that even these bosses can't cover, then he has come to an end.
??...
?? While the MV was broadcasting globally and Sony was busy revising and releasing posters, Roland also did a lot of things.
At the beginning of October, Spielberg called and told him that the "Jurassic Park" book in his hand needed to be revised, and asked Roland to go directly to his house. After learning about this, Roland took the half-modified book The book and the original, the cat went to the other party's Malibu mansion, and after getting acquainted with Maria Mamo, the screenwriter of "Captain Hook", Roland took the content written by Spielberg on his back in the past few months. brought it out.
?? And when they saw Roland's handwritten thick stack of paper, both of them were a little surprised.
?? "You wrote this?" Spielberg asked knowingly.
?? "Yes, a little idea... If you don't think it's right, just throw it in the fireplace and burn it."
?? Roland nodded without any timidity.
??If it was replaced by other actors, Spielberg would not bother to watch this stuff.
??What kind of script does an eleven-year-old doll know?
?? Isn't that troublesome?
?? But Roland, after all, they taught them. Roland has almost moved all the materials they used in the notebooks. If they can't write something, they are just playing around at home and not studying hard!
??However, after Spielberg read the script modified by Roland with the intention of checking his homework, the creases at the corners of his eyes were almost crumpled up, "Roland, yes!"
"Not only did the sermon written by Michael (Clayton) be shortened, but also the way the Triceratops fought the Tyrannosaurus rex was changed? Your sketches are a bit interesting, but have you considered it? come out?"
??Changing the book, not the outline.
Not to mention that Roland has completely forgotten the content of the original version, even if he remembers it clearly, it is impossible to write about the Velociraptor. There is a scene where the Triceratops escapes with a child, so why change it to the Velociraptor? A dragon chasing a child?
?? As for how to fight Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus rex?
??Dinosaurs fight, isn’t it just a fight?
?? Triceratops has no hands, so it can't beat the chest like George the gorilla.
?? Tyrannosaurus Rex does have a pair of short hands like Godzilla, but the problem is, it doesn’t know how to smear its face with thick phlegm!
?? When super sci-fi elements are not added, isn’t it just that you bite me and I whip you when traditional dinosaurs fight?
??Then face the camera and roar twice, plus the soundtrack and editing, won't the momentum come out?
?? As for these pictures how to do?
?? "Director, I read your "Jaws" notes."
?? "Day + blue filter = night, that's the formula you wrote."
??Although Roland doesn't know how to design serious movements, he still knows how to use skills!
??Using the dark night to blur the audience's sight, using the distance of the human eye to follow the light, let the audience focus on the place with more brightness, so that the traces of CG production in the movie can be covered up!
??Although it is not good to do so, but—
??Is the behavior of exploding shells too much better than doing night special effects?
??People really copied the special effects they made themselves!
?? Copy the original model as it is!
?? Not even editing editing!
??Of course, another reason why Roland kept the outline of the script was to join his sister.
?? After seeing the age setting of the siblings changed by Roland, Spielberg immediately laughed.
??Roland's behavior, how could he not see it?
??The manuscript almost didn't say that the role of Hammond's granddaughter Lix was given to Ashley or Mary.
According to common sense, Roland's behavior of pointing fingers in the project will arouse the disgust of the big boss. If it is replaced by Quentin who does not cut a knife, then his role is already yellow, but the problem is, Spielberg is The guy who likes to make internal orders the most!
??If there are people of my own who don’t need it, why should I use outsiders?
??Hold them up and let them go?
?? Isn't that mentally ill?
?? "I originally wanted to change the age of a child and let him become a plot promoter."
?? "Since the little boy asked you to act, then make the little girl smaller."
?? "Ashley and Mary, whom I met last time, don't have a book recently, right? When the script is finished, let them come over and try it out."
?? "It happens to be twins, finding a pair is equivalent to taking turns to shoot..."
??Roland wants the role of a little girl, so give it to him.
??Spielberg didn't think there was anything wrong at all.
??Anyway, his idea of ??selecting candidates is to call the people he knows first and ask them if they would like to accept his film.
??What are you doing so much trouble for?
?? It’s not an epic drama!
When Spielberg agreed to Roland's idea of ??modifying the character design and simplifying the outline, the little guy sitting on the side laughed happily. Although he understood that the book in front of him was far from the final draft, Spielberg Under normal circumstances, the agreed setting would not be changed, and what he wanted was actually the two roles of the brother and sister.
??With the determination of the role intention, the Olsen couple were very surprised to learn about it.
?? After confirming again and again, Ganetti, who was extremely excited, directly took the whole family to the Montage Hotel to have a big meal.
certainly-
?? It was David's card that was swiped.
?? The reassurance given by Roland is something Ganetti has been waiting for for a long time.
?? This is not her snobbery, but the excitement of gaining something on the road to realizing her dream.
??Ren's daughter has been filming TV dramas for so many years, and the parents hope that they can develop on the big screen!
??If the first movie that went to the screen could directly cooperate with Spielberg, no matter which parent it is, they would wake up laughing!
??Of course, Ganetti also understands that cooperation is not the point.
??The point is—
?? "Thank you, Roland..."
?? After returning home from dinner, when he left his daughter and son to her husband, Ganetti also accompanied Roland and returned to the next door.
??Looking at Aunt Ganetti who was showing a smile on the journey, Roland spread his hands and said with a smile, "It's just a matter of effort."
?? "Okay, okay, I know you don't like this kind of politeness, but—well, I also know what you want to know now."
?? "Don't worry, there will definitely be a complete home."
?? "The quarrel I had with David before was that David didn't want them to make that kind of meaningless bad movie."
?? "Now, these things are up to you to decide, and he and I will naturally have no disagreements."
?? "I just want them to do things that I haven't touched, but you know, it's a very troublesome thing to have no access in Hollywood, because those producers just want to make money through them..."
?? "But now that you are here, I feel relieved."
?? "At least, those guys dare not raise money in front of you."
?? After so many years in the industry, how can Ganetti not understand the cruelty from TV to movies?
?? In the famous, no way is still equal to zero.
?? And now—
?? Roland is willing to give it a go, which is naturally the best.
??Under such circumstances, Ganetti, who has long seen Roland's great dependence on the complete family, will naturally not be a demon again.
?? Regarding her assurance, Roland smiled and nodded.
?? Did not speak, raised his right hand, and Ganetti, who got his idea, also raised his palm and tapped him lightly.
?? Roland, who has experienced enough, doesn't want to make any more fools.
?? If you can live a good life, don't beep beep and get divorced.
??If you can do something for family harmony—
?? Didn't he already do it?
?? "Well, Aunt Ganetti, there is no need to talk about things that have already been decided."
?? "Since Steven asked them to try it, let's go to the premiere together on the eighth."
?? "Anyway, they reserved 15 seats, if you don't go, it will be a waste..."
?? Note: ?Five blue bloods: Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada. (CK withdrew from the ready-to-wear line and dropped blue blood) Eight red blood: Givenchy, Giorgio Armani, Saint Laurent, Valentino, Versace, Hermes, Lanvin, Burberry. ?I bought the cover of Forbes in July 2000, and it was easier to talk about business in order to go out. ?Zhuo Wei's team really stared at the godson of the Kung Fu Emperor for eight months, he said it himself. ? "Baby Little Lover" was really voted by Sony. ? Bangbei did the special effects of a giant bionic robot in "Clone Island", and then directly copied himself in "Transformers". ?In the era of "Jurassic Park", there was no such thing as black day being cheaper than daytime special effects. Because at that time, only Industrial Light and Magic could do computer CG. As the second master, what Spielberg could get was the best. As for why there was a dark and rainy scene in "Jurassic Park", this is really true. It has nothing to do with the formula of black + water = saving money, because when I was filming, I encountered a hurricane. It was the hurricane that covered the CG images in some dark skies. ?'Day + blue filter = night' This is Spielberg's formula for shooting night scenes. He doesn't like to work overtime, so night scenes are shot like this. It's been that way since Jaws.
