??Chapter 47 New Items on the Dining Table (Chapter 5K5) (recommendation ticket requested)
Although he once had high hopes for the audition for "Captain Hook", and with the continuous emergence of inside information, Roland suddenly felt that he was the one, but even so, Roland was not confident enough to think that he must succeed To the point, "Captain Hook" was originally a surprise brought to him by Chris Columbus. If the two audition directors hadn't remembered him, he wouldn't even have been able to get Spielberg's signatures—although tens of thousands The teaching fee of the knife is exchanged for three signatures. This deal seems very uneconomical, but being able to stand in front of those big shots is already a great success.
?? As a matter of fact, those unrelated guys couldn't even make it to the final round of auditions.
??So, when Charlie Cosmo walked out excitedly, Roland really showed a congratulatory smile.
?? This smile is even brighter than when I saw Spielberg.
"you win."
?? "Yes, so I will treat you to dinner at noon." Charles smiled, "But before that, you need to wait for me."
?? "I need to talk to my agent first."
Greeting with the agent was only a sentence, but even so, they still delayed leaving Sony Studios until after eleven o'clock. The reason was purely that before they left, they found that Spielberg was with the other two. Together with the two main creators, they inspected the construction site; although they couldn't make a movie, they can still learn the scenery and camera positions, and there is no harm in listening to them. In this way, Roland licked his face and followed behind them. During the period, he also chatted with Robin Williams for a while, and the other party also confirmed Roland's conjecture. Before the audition, director Howard Storm really came to find him with Ganetti's expectations. He helped, and in Robin's words, that is: "My own people will definitely help, but the decision is in Steven's hands."
??For Roland, such a sentence is enough.
??Hearing these words, Roland even jokingly said: "Then when you turn on the phone, can I come and study?"
This time, before Robin could respond, Steven, who stood on a high place and looked at the panoramic view, said without turning his head: "You also went to Universal Studios to learn secretly before? I asked Robert, and he said He didn't teach you..."
?? "However, you can come if you want. Our crew happens to lack children playing in Neverland. It's okay to take a few close-up shots of you when the time comes."
?? To outsiders, Spielberg is a recalcitrant, stubborn Jew.
?? But for his own people, he is a very good old man who pays attention to sympathy.
Although he is very principled about movies, these principles are also for his own people. Just like today's audition, there is no one else except his relationship, and some other characters in the movie are also rejected. He parted out.
??For example, Dustin Hoffman's youngest son Max, he will play Peter Pan at the age of five in the film.
?? For example, Spielberg's goddaughter, the future queen, will also play soy sauce in the movie.
??In this case, throwing a few shots to Roland is not difficult.
?? At least for Spielberg, this is a good means of maintaining the relationship between all parties.
?? It was a surprise to Roland to get the other party's personal consent in front of the public.
??Remuneration, shots, these are actually not important, what is important is that he can enter and leave the crew of "Captain Hook" openly.
??Being able to watch them filming in person is much more useful than attending film school or majoring in acting.
??Even if they might not answer every question Roland asked like Chris Columbus and Joe Pesci did, the various ideas they inadvertently revealed may improve Roland.
"So you really like movies." Since it was time for dinner, they ate in the restaurant next to Sony Studios. Looking at Roland, Charles expressed his thoughts without hesitation, " I thought we were the same when Dustin told me your uncle put you in the ring to get you out of your grief."
??“I just feel that life in school is so boring when I’m filming, but I don’t actually think this job is so fun.”
?? "If I had known you really liked movies, I wouldn't have come."
?? "I'm really sorry for taking your chance."
??Although Charlie Cosmo's words were very embarrassing, Roland understood that the other party didn't mean to resist him.
"No, No, No..." Facing Charles' words, Roland shook his head, "Even if you didn't come, I don't think Steven would choose me, because when I auditioned, he directly pointed out my Fundamental problem."
?? "He said that I don't have a pure yearning for fairy tales, and it's very contrary to acting out."
?? "What?" Charles raised his brows, wondering: "Pure yearning for fairy tales?"
?? "Didn't your mother tell you these stories?"
?? “I remember when I was very young, my mother would read me a bedtime story every night.”
??“At that time, I really wished that I was Peter Pan, so that I could never grow up.”
have to…
This is where the problem lies.
??Even if Charles is cheerful, he is still a child.
??He yearns for Christmas every year, yearns for life in fairy tales, and can immerse himself in the fairy tale kingdom created by Disney. Not to mention, his family environment allows him to daydream.
??But to Roland, all of this is false.
??Now it is impossible for him to continue dreaming like a child. After passing through innocence, there is only reality.
??Growth brings reality.
?? As for what to say like movies?
??This kind of problem can't be discussed until he is financially free.
??If you can’t even get over the hurdle of being alive, how can you talk about chasing your dreams?
??Even Spielberg became famous before chasing his dreams. He wants to shoot what he wants to shoot without even being famous?
?? Even if it’s not chasing dreams, chasing dreams, chasing dreams, circle circle circle circle circle circle circle circle circle!
?? "Well, I admit that I don't believe in these things." Roland nodded helplessly, picked up a piece of lettuce with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth, "I don't think those stories in fairy tales will happen..."
?? "Oh, then I think you are so pitiful, don't you have anything you like?"
??Charles shook his head regretfully, and glanced at the edge of the table.
??There are several comic books placed there, and the one on top is the latest single issue of "Spider-Man".
?? "Like...manga?"
comics?
?? This thing was bought for James.
?? If it wasn't because James asked Roland to treat him, Roland would never have left Sony Studios again. Before he got into the restaurant, he bought the latest issue of Marvel and DC comics in a bookstore next to him.
?? Even so, Roland did not answer that way.
??I saw him shrugged, and said indifferently: "Comics? I guess, but I like money more..."
Maybe it's because Charles has no direct conflict of interest with him, but it's more like Jack's whole body relaxed after the dust has settled. Roland feels that he can have a very speculative chat with Charles. Not only that, he doesn't have to be afraid of Charles and James, Will ask endlessly on various issues, causing headaches.
?? And when he said the word dollar, Charles was even more surprised.
?? "Are you kidding, you will be short of money?"
?? "Oh, Roland, it doesn't make sense for you to say that."
??Charles didn't believe Roland's words, and Roland also understood that this was a generation gap between him and the other party.
?? Or in other words, the generation gap of the times.
??For Roland, a traveler, money is not everything, but without money, it is absolutely impossible.
You know, Harper-Lee was able to write "To Kill a Mockingbird" entirely because Harper-Lee's friend gave her a year's salary as a gift at Christmas in 1956, and It is with a year's salary that she can stay at home and concentrate on writing without going out to work.
?? "Forget it, let's not talk about this." He shook his head and threw out the thoughts that Charles couldn't understand.
??Just when Roland wanted to start another topic and chat with the other party about daily trivialities.
??A dark brown figure suddenly appeared in his sight.
?? "Oh, Charles, what are you doing here?"
?? "I heard that Steven's audition had ended long ago. I thought you had gone back with your agent."
?? "Is this your friend?"
?? "Should there be no classmates of yours in Los Angeles?"
?? The slightly surprised words were like a dark cloud in the way, lying between Roland and Charles.
??Following the direction of the voice, a blond woman about fifty years old was looking at Charles with joy.
??Although Roland couldn't tell the identity of the other party from the wrinkled face, the neat and elegant clothes, as well as the words that came directly to her, revealed her occupation—she was also an insider.
?? And Charles' unexpected words next proved Roland's conjecture.
?? "Mary?"
?? "I didn't expect to meet you here."
?? "Are you also on Sony's studio today? Is there something going on?"
?? "Let me introduce to you, this is Roland Allen, a friend I just met today."
I don't know if it was Charles who emphasized it on purpose. He and Roland just met today, or maybe the other party just wanted to talk to Charles. In short, when the woman named Mary heard Roland Allen's name, she just He nodded politely at him, and then—then turned his gaze back again.
?? "Oh, Charles, isn't it because of you?"
?? "If you take over our role, then I don't have to work so hard to find someone now."
?? "By the way, have you won Steven's "Captain Hook?"
?? "If not, then do you want to come to our crew?"
??Fuck!
??Roland...
?? Sour.
??Although he didn't know who Mary was, and he didn't know what the project between Mary and Charles was talking about, but the eager attitude of the other party made Roland envious—it was special! If this is a novel, Charlie Cosmos is the main character right? The family is well-off, the Jewish gang started, and people give scripts everywhere they go. This is simply a template for the protagonist!
?? Compared with Charlie Cosmo, Roland felt that he was so poor!
??The project "Home Alone" was brought out as a teaser, and "Captain Hook" was directly defeated by the opponent.
?? And now?
?? Just having a meal with each other, some Hollywood guy licked him and wanted to give him a book...
?? Grass hold...
?? This is really more popular than people.
??However, before Roland's sour taste passed, Charles' answer made him roll his eyes even more.
?? "Marie, I'm sorry, I already won the project of "Captain Hook" today."
?? "We agreed before that if I win this project, I won't be participating in other movies."
?? “I’m going to go back to school after “Captain Hook” is done.”
?? "So, why don't you bother to find someone else?"
Speaking of this, Charles seemed to have thought of something, and raised his hand directly: "If you think it's troublesome to find someone, what do you think of Roland Allen? He is also one of Jack's candidates in "Captain Hook". "
?? "Steven praised him today. Even if he is not suitable for acting in fairy tale movies, Steven promised to give him a role."
??Listen!
??Listen!
??Is this a human language?
??What does it mean that if you win "Captain Hook", you won't take other projects?
??What does it mean that Steven praises him well, even if he is not suitable for acting in fairy tale movies, he can still get a soy sauce role?
?? Are you exalting yourself or belittling others?
??Although it is the truth, but it sounds, why is it so annoying?
??However, after hearing what Charles said, Mary, who was so focused on him, turned her head away.
?? It seems to be aware of Charles' temper, but it is more like evaluating Roland.
?? When Mary's scrutiny gaze dangled on Roland's body for a few seconds, she asked, "Roland Allen?"
?? "Have you ever had acting experience?"
?? "Yes, John Hughes produced it, and he acted in "Home Alone" directed by Chris Columbus."
??Before Roland could speak, Charles took it upon himself to reveal Roland's background.
?? "Home Alone?" Mary was a little surprised, "So you are that Roland?"
??The rumors about the crew of "Home Alone" spread all over Hollywood.
?? No way, who let the power struggle in the crew be **** with the most powerful Jewish gang?
??Although some information is not known to the public, it is not a secret at all to insiders.
?? Even though Roland has not received a decent film contract so far, everyone has heard of his name.
??'A boy adopted by the Olsen family', 'a newcomer who just stepped into the Jewish gang'...
??These titles, which Roland is not aware of, have already entered the databases of various companies. If there is no accident, after the movie is released, the specific analysis report related to him can be directly generated.
Of course, although I haven't seen his finished film, no one will think that there is something wrong with his skills. If the guy who can win the protagonist of an investment project worth 15 million in the fight for power, if he doesn't have two brushes, then he is I am having trouble with myself.
?? Not to mention, Charles also proved it sideways, and Spielberg also thought he was OK.
?? "Yes ma'am, any questions?"
?? Being stared at directly by the other party, Roland felt a little uncomfortable.
??Because the other party's eyes were emotionless, she seemed to be looking at a batch of goods instead of a person.
?? But this, what can I do?
?? Roland wasn't prepared to resist when he didn't know the identity of the other party.
??If Charles hadn't mentioned himself, then Roland might have pulled away and left long ago.
?? "The image is OK and meets the requirements..."
?? Did not answer Roland's question, Mary went straight to the point and asked Roland for personal information.
?? "Birth date?"
?? "January 1, 1980."
?? Roland pondered for half a second, but still reported it.
?? "Ten and a half years old? It's about the same as the human design..."
??Marie murmured, and then continued to ask: "Do you have a film appointment now?"
?? "No..." Roland shook his head.
?? "Does your family allow you to accept the project?" Mary asked again.
?? "Yes, if it is not allowed, I will not come here today." Roland replied affirmatively.
?? "Interested in auditioning? It's at Sony Studios, if you go in the afternoon, James should still be there..."
??The continuous questions made Roland's eyelids twitch. Although he didn't want to offend the other party, isn't your behavior of concealing it a bit too much?
??Since you are looking for actors, at least you have to tell me what kind of project you have!
?? "Ms. Mary, please wait a moment."
?? "Before I say yes, can you tell me what your project is called?"
?? "Now you know me and I don't know you..."
?? "Because I don't know you well, if I tell the 'Guardian' that I'm going to audition, what do you think he will think?"
?? While asking questions, Roland also lowered his head and cut the steak on the dinner plate.
?? Seeing Roland's calm appearance, Mary, who was still working, suddenly laughed.
?? Seeing that Charles wanted to help Roland, Mary quickly raised her hand to stop him.
?? "Are all children nowadays so individual?"
?? "Charles says he won't act if he doesn't act, but you don't want to go until you ask."
?? "If you push forward ten years, someone heard on the street that you were spotted by the crew."
?? "Then he must have packed his things long ago and left with us."
?? "But the problem is, it's 90 years now."
?? Roland forked a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth. At the same time, his gaze was raised moderately.
??That foolish look is extremely unworthy of a beating.
??Just when Roland thought that his appearance could directly persuade the other party to leave.
??Seeing Roland dealing with him like this, Mary's eyes suddenly lit up, and even her attitude changed a hundred and eighty degrees, "That's right, it's this cool feeling..."
?? "James will definitely like it when he sees it."
??The one-sided evaluation made Roland a little annoyed.
??He has never seen such a crazy charade.
?? "Oh ma'am, can you just tell me about the project?"
?? "Even if there is a confidentiality clause, you can't say the name of the project and the full name of the director, then you have to give me some hints, let me guess?"
?? "For example, what is the subject of your project, and what are the director's hobbies..."
?? "If you don't tell me anything, I definitely can't go with you."
??After noticing Roland's impatience, Mary not only didn't get angry, but nodded her head.
?? Not only that, she also followed Roland's meaning and said it.
?? "Ok, since you want to know the situation, let me tell you."
?? "A sci-fi action movie, a sequel to a series."
?? "Director James, loves to dive."
?? "If that information wasn't enough."
?? "I can also give you one."
?? "The "Spider-Man" comic on the table may be his next new project."
?? "How about it, can you guess it?"
?? creak—
??When Marley looked at Roland with playful eyes, the little guy who was cutting his head into the steak swung his arms, and the knife in his hand slammed heavily on the ceramic plate, making a tooth-stinging sound.
??The boy trembled uncomfortably, and the next second, he raised his head.
??When the shocked eyes turned to Mary, who was over fifty years old, the surprised words also came out.
??The speed of speech is like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and it is like a racing car, flying fast.
"What did you say?"
?? "A sci-fi action movie? A sequel to a series? Director or James? Like diving?"
?? "And he, still wants to make "Spider-Man"?"
?? "Yeah!" The old woman nodded heavily. To her, it didn't matter whether Roland guessed right or not.
??The important thing is that his shocked expression now is very good.
??However, for Roland, this special code is very important.
??Because in his memory, there is only one director who can meet all the above requirements:
James Cameron.
?? And there is only one movie:
?? "Devil Terminator 2: Judgment Day".
Note: ?At the 25th anniversary meeting of "Terminator 2", James Cameron officially announced that he would take over the IP of "Terminator" again and create a trilogy. : Dark Fate, the three main creators of "Terminator 2" will all return, and when talking about John Connor's actor Edward Furlong, Cameron confirmed that in 1990, in When filming "Terminator 2", the first actor confirmed to be John Connor was Charlie Cosmo, but unfortunately, Charles went to the studio next door to play Spielberg's "Captain Hook", Thus giving up "Terminator 2". It was precisely because Charles refused that there was an audition for "Terminator 2", and Edward Furlong was able to take the position. ? Dustin's son really played the five-year-old Peter Pan in "Captain Hook".
