Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 276: pay off the debt

??Chapter 276 Repay the debt, old friend

?? "It is said that when you were filming "Saving Private Ryan" in the UK last year, you went to Kate's house?"

??The host hugged his knees with both hands, with anticipation on his face.

?? "Oh! Asking such a hot question right from the start? Yes, I went to Reading and met her family."

?? Roland first raised his eyebrows, 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 questions, looking at the two of them, full of gossip and envy.

??Roland took a slanted approach and didn't say the answer people were looking for.

?? "Can I say that if I don't go, you may never see me? She has to pull me there!"

?? "Huh?" There were many small question marks above the host's head.

Kate covered her mouth and laughed when she heard the words. While taking the topic away, she patted Roland's arm with the hand wearing the proposal ring angrily, "Shut up! Don't lie here, okay! "

?? "It was he who 'tricked' me into calling David and Canetti's parents on Christmas the year before last!"

?? "What? What's going on? We didn't even know that before!"

??The host turned into Jia Ling, unabashedly showing surprise and curiosity, "Can you share the story with us?"

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

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

?? "Ah, it's actually like this, you can't blame me..."

??Discovering this situation, Kate stared directly at the past, "Is it my fault?"

"Blame me, blame me, say it, say it..." Roland, who was stared at by death, withered in an instant, and the way I couldn't beat it and didn't dare to beep made all the audience who were watching the live broadcast in front of the TV show their eyes. The aunt who watched the show smiled.

?? "Oh my god! The atmosphere when the two of them get along is really too sweet!"

?? "Although Roland is showing weakness, the look in Kate's eyes is full of tenderness, which is too spoiled!"

?? "Although Kate is complaining about Roland's actions, how can there be dissatisfaction on her face? She is smiling so happily!"

??Of course, some people like it and some people hate it.

?? Some of them didn’t watch the show, but just accidentally entered the channel, saw the live broadcast, and found that the couple was telling a story again, feeling a sense of helplessness came to their minds.

?? "Didn't he not give interviews much before? Why can I see his news every day now?"

?? "As an actor, you can't make a good film, and you want to earn money by selling your private life?"

?? "It seems that after winning the Oscar, he drifted away. The down-to-earth child disappeared."

After attending the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting and re-determining the development direction of the company under his name, Roland began to pay off his debts again. In mid-May, together with Kate, he accepted Paramount's "Saving Private The talk show arranged for the release of "Ryan" is the same as the two parties discussed in advance. The young couple will reveal some behind-the-scenes information that people are very interested in but little known on the talk show—well, it is actually the emotional journey of the two .

??After the Oscars, in an interview with Time magazine, the two only explained the content related to "Titanic", and did not mention the accompanying experience when they were filming in the UK. Now, this is what they mainly talk about.

Although in the past few months, the two were often mentioned by the media, and the related emotional experience was repeated thousands of times, but because of toothpaste-squeezing reprints, every time the news was disclosed, there were new stories. The content produced, so the vast majority of fans are still willing to watch it.

Of course, since it's not a big news like revising the Stars and Stripes, but a celebrity's daily gossip, the reactions it arouses are multiple, just like "Spiderman" has attracted a lot of male fans to Roland, Female fans think this kind of movie is boring, just like "Titanic" kills women of all ages, but is rejected by male fans. No one has ever been able to please everyone. The king will not make everyone disgusted. More often, people's feedback on various news depends on their own positions, rather than the right or wrong of the event itself.

??So, the pros and cons of excessive consumption are fully reflected in this talk show.

In the fan forums of Roland and Kate, the restless fans are giving those guys who didn't watch the live broadcast a popular science about "the story of Roland tricking Kate into calling David and Ganetti's parents" and telling the story of "Kate threatened Roland to go home to see his parents" ', not only that, IMDb, which has been resold to Amazon, has received countless reminder emails. Fans who are rolling in dog food urgently hope that this movie database can modify the life information of the two.

?? But at the same time, those guys who were suppressed by the dog food fan and dared not take the lead expressed their dissatisfaction with this overexposure in other forums-'The box office news at the beginning of the year was on the headlines for a month! Then it was on the front page for two months because of the question of whether to win the prize! Then it made headlines for another two months because of the marriage proposal at the Oscars! Now is it because telling 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 it’s a very unprofessional performance for Roland to go to Kate’s house during filming? Not filming well, is your mind full of love? Then you claim your gender and become an actor, wouldn't it be good to go home with Kate and have a baby? '

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

??Those who admired Roland because of his previous dedication are now dissatisfied with Roland's marketing, while those who only want to read gossip show great interest in the current operation.

?? As for neutrality?

??Many times, the neutral party is often those guys who watch the excitement and don’t think it’s a big deal. They are eager for a fight between the two opposing parties. The more fierce the fight, the happier they are. Anyway, it’s boring...

?? As for Roland himself, he no longer cares about these things.

??Although this kind of thinking is cruel, the favorite movie is just a tool for him now.

?? After breaking box office records and winning Oscars, 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 root of his success.

?? Then he’ll thank the public who expect him to be better, then turn around and hug those dog food powders.

??Because these guys will pay for his products without thinking, and the guys who are eager for works will only pay for good works.

?? This transformation sounds unreasonable, but isn’t the relationship between fans and celebrities the same as the relationship between leeks and old farmers?

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

??If it is said that Roland used to need to interpret the lives of different characters according to the script, so as to gain fame and fortune.

??Now, he wants to interpret his life into a way that guys who are willing to pay for it will love to watch.

??Although he still considers himself an actor, his core has changed.

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

?? Of course, in addition to the filming experience in the UK and the fun of the two of them getting along, the news that Roland appeared at the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting in early May also became one of the topics of the talk show.

??Faced with such inquiries, Roland, who didn't want to hide anything, generously admitted his shareholder status.

?? "Yeah, after getting paid for "Home Alone", I asked David to spend all the money to buy BRK stock."

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

?? "How much do you hold in total? Anyway, less than Charlie Munger, more than Bill Gates..."

?? "Get on the rich list? Sorry, I will not submit the form to Forbes and Forbes. They are not the IRS or the SEC. They have no right to let me submit asset information..."

??...

After paying off his debts to Paramount, Roland, who hadn't worked much after filming "Saving Private Ryan", officially entered the stage of intensive training, preparing for the upcoming filming of "Spider-Man 2 and 3" .

??At the beginning, Roland saw his old friend Yuan Baye again.

??Three years did not seem to have left any marks on this old man.

??The reason why he was able to rush over after answering the phone was purely because he was working on "The Matrix" in the Warner Studios in the same city.

??After asking Roland to follow what he taught, Ba Ye, wearing a peaked cap, shook his head with a smile.

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

??Roland was not ashamed, "I can't help it, there are too many things..."

??Ba Ye nodded, expressing his understanding, "It doesn't matter, there are still two and a half months, we have plenty of time, let's start from the beginning."

?? "Aren't you going back to Warner?"

?? "My apprentice is watching over there."

??After buying the rights to the North American screening of "Red Fan District" and launching it on the market, the relationship between the two parties has become much closer.

??Although they do not communicate as frequently as the Jewish Gang, they still communicate with each other during holidays.

?? The business of "The Matrix" was also communicated by Roland. With the good results of "Spider-Man", Warner naturally would not doubt their level. Because of Roland's intervention, the two sides cooperated very happily.

Of course, it may be because Roland discovered the treasure of Kung Fu movies, but it is more like those capitalists saw the value of big noses. After "Red Fan District" became popular, when Roland devoted himself to "Titanic", Jackie Chan It was still poached by the new line, which has a good cooperation with Golden Harvest, but with the presence of Roland, the speed of Jewish help pushing the project this time is very fast.

?? "Jackie Chan's Rush Hour comes out in September?"

?? After three hours of training, the sweaty Roland mentioned the guy who brought him countless memories.

?? "Yes, there are too many blockbuster movies this year, so it's better to put them in September."

?? "Did you have any trouble while filming?"

?? "No, I heard from them that Brett was very nice to them."

?? "Okay, as long as there is no trouble, if you need anything, just call me."

?? "Okay, I'll tell him."

?? "Not only him, but also you, I really like your works."

"Thanks!"

The reason why Jackie Chan was able to kill all directions in Hollywood is more than one level higher than Li Lianjie and Fa Ge. The main reason is that after a failed encounter, he did not choose to fool around, but climbed up to the big guys from the beginning. .

Unlike Li Lianjie, who accepted the invitation of Time Warner to film "Lethal Weapon", and the Fa Ge who has been playing with Wu Baige since landing in North America, the boss Jackie Chan is looking for is Brett Ratner, the director of "Rush Hour". .

?? A Jew.

Looking at Brett Ratner's resume, this guy who only started shooting MVs in 1990 is a novice at first glance. Compared with Jackie Chan's qualifications, he is a bad brother, but many times, the qualifications of this newcomer are not at all. Not the most important thing, because this guy graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts with a film degree and was a student of Martin Scorsese.

?? Of course, more importantly, this guy's tuition is paid by Steven Spielberg.

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

Jackie Chan's action comedy may be the key to his firm 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, Jackie Chan Hooked up with Steven Spielberg, the 'How did you jump from this building to that building? ’, ‘It’s very simple, start up, take off, start filming, stop, and send to the hospital’ dialogues were born of this.

?? Later, Jackie Chan also got Dreamworks' "Magic Tuxedo" when "Western Dragons" hit the street.

??Although this movie also hit the street, Jackie Chan’s treatment is much better than that of Li and Zhou, who had no chance after the first rush.

?? And in this life...

?? Roland doesn't know if they have met, but judging from the current situation, Jackie Chan'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 is no problem, and in early June, students are on vacation.

??Because David was going to take his wife to Omaha for negotiations, and James, the boy, refused to go home during the holidays, so the arduous task of raising the children fell on the two of them.

The point is, when she was helping with the children before, Kate promised the three children that she would take them to New Zealand during the summer vacation. Therefore, after the holiday, when the three children were clamoring for a vacation, Roland was left at home by them .

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

??At this moment, he finally experienced the loneliness of being far away from home—

?? It's great that no one cares!

??Although Roland still doesn't participate in extravagant parties, after the morning training, surfing, fishing, solo sailing, beach volleyball...these things are all arranged!

??It’s okay to only watch from a distance and not play with it, right?

??Kate is also quite awesome. She took three lesbians and played outside for a full month before coming back!

??Of course, if you don’t come back, you won’t be able to do it, because "A Couple Born" starring the Olsen sisters is about to be released...

Note: ? The director of "Rush Hour" Brett Ratner is a member of the Jewish gang. When he was thirteen years old, he participated in "Scar" directed by Brian Palmer and starring Al Pacino. Face Evil Star, the so-called short film was shot during college, and then boldly sent to forty directors in the United States, and finally won the appreciation of Steven Spielberg. It was just a publicity. He has been A student of Martin Scorsese, Jackie Chan also met Spielberg through him.
