Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 34 Acquaintance (recommendation ticket requested)

   Following Columbus' introduction, Roland immediately turned his gaze.

   And when he found that they were sitting on both sides of Columbus smiling and nodding in response, Roland also showed his kindness.

   "Uncle Joe, Uncle Daniel, hello, I'm Roland Allen."

   "Director Howard mentioned you at the party last month, and he told me that you are very kind."

   "Oh, Howard is right, I'm not a bad uncle." Joe Pesci replied with a smile.

   "Yes, I just look fierce." Daniel Stern put down the water glass in his hand and winked at Roland. "Didn't Howard say anything else besides this?"

   "Of course, he also said that if you have any questions, I can ask you directly." Roland nodded in response.

   "Really? Then he has a big mouth."

Joe Pesci rolled his eyes, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Director Howard's unauthorized assertion, but after a while, he laughed again and said: "However, what he said is true, Daniel likes to teach others the most. right?"

   "Yeah! I like teaching children to act the most!" Daniel Stern nodded his head like a pile driver.

  Although the corresponding names were brought out in everyone's words, the tone was very easy-going.

  The entertainment industry is so big, everyone looks up and sees down, and has a nodding acquaintance with everyone.

  If there is a hatred of taking his wife or killing his son, the crew will not put them together when selecting actors.

  In this case, the guys who can get together to film will at least maintain their appearance.

  For example, Dawn Johnson and Vin Diesel, even though they didn't like each other, they didn't turn the crew upside down.

   And the situation where Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder split directly is quite rare.

  As for Julia Roberts wanting to have a live-action PK with Steven Spielberg on the set...

   Such a big-name guy did it himself, and it seems to be the only case in the entire film history.

  Although the main creative team met for the first time, it was relatively easy to get acquainted because of the various connections.

  Like Joe Pesci, he was brought out by the Jewish gang director Martin Scorsese.

  And Daniel Stern has also cooperated with Woody Allen of the Jewish Gang many times. Not only that, he also has an intersection with Francis Coppola's daughter Sofia Coppola.

Under such circumstances, when Roland took out the well-prepared notepad and asked the three people present for their autographs, the three guys who knew everything about it burst into laughter; When he wrote his blessings and left his name on it, Roland also took the opportunity to gossip.

  For example, he asked Joe Pesci if it was true that Robert De Niro broke a rib when he was filming "Raging Bull".

  For another example, he asked Daniel Stern how the bull terrier in "Frankenstein Dog" was sewn together, and whether the horrific surgical marks were special effects makeup or post-production.

   "Are you asking about ribs? Yes, that guy did beat me back then." Joe Pesci satisfied Roland's curiosity.

"The bull terrier is of course special effects makeup. Tim Burton is not really crazy. What's more, even if he wants to make it real, Disney will not allow it. After all, special effects makeup alone is scary enough." Daniel - Stern shrugged, he thought Roland's curiosity was really weird.

  Gossip is the best way to draw in the relationship with each other.

  As long as the other party is willing to chat with you, it proves that you have a common language.

  Although it was Roland who was always asking and they were answering, the continuous laughter proved their mood at the moment.

After Roland asked a few questions in succession to satisfy his curiosity, he returned the topic to Columbus. Seeing that the time was almost up, Columbus clapped his hands and signaled his assistant to call all the other actors over. , officially entered the final stage of preparation before shooting.

  Different from the burning incense and worshiping gods and placing barley in Roland's previous life, Hollywood's opening ceremony is more of a publicity function, and the word press conference can cover everything.

   But the problem is, now every media is reporting on the Oscars.

  Who cares that a nearly-killed project is back on track?

   Even if this project is completely occupied by the Jewish gang, it is still not enough compared to Oliver Stone and others' road to Austria.

Because of this, the press conference that required a certain amount of money was naturally canceled, and this behavior also made Roland, who had never seen a big scene, heave a sigh of relief. He didn't want to be like Jay in his previous life, facing the media, out of place.

  After abandoning the press conference, the only thing the crew can do is to read the script.

  The leading actors sit together and read aloud all the scenes to be filmed today.

  Although Roland is a newcomer, he did not behave like Marilyn Monroe played by Michelle Williams. In this link, he got stuck.

   It took less than forty minutes to go through all the scenes to be filmed that day.

   After that, everyone returned to their dressing room to change their clothes and make up.

   After that, that's waiting...

Yes, regardless of whether it is domestic or foreign, before you become famous, the main job of an actor is not to act, but to hone his patience in the crew; wait for your scene, perform according to the director's instructions, and after the performance, then Go back and wait.

  In many cases, it’s one scene during the day and one scene at night. As for the time in between?

   This is for you to learn.

  Of course, the situation where you can only get in line every now and then does not apply to Roland as the lead actor.

   But the problem is, today is the first day the crew starts up.

  Even if Hollywood does not have any activities to worship the gods, there is still a mentality of asking for a good omen.

so-

  Even if Roland is the lead actor, in order to get off to a good start.

  The first shot that officially started shooting was directed by Columbus and arranged for Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern.

  Although he was not trusted by the director, Roland didn't care.

  As a bystander, he stood directly behind Columbus, stealing (learning) peeping (learning) openly.

  Different from asking for advice in the time loop, the questioning there is more like talking on paper.

  Although Director Robert Zemeckis will answer his questions, and Chris Columbus will also point out Roland's shortcomings during the audition, but they will not have a real fight with Roland as they do now.

   It's like the saying 'Just talk but don't practice fake moves'.

   Talking about it is extravagant, but if you can't do it, it's useless.

Therefore, after the on-the-spot reporter shouted "Scene 1, Act 1, February 14, 1990 at 9:30 am, Action!", Roland's heart, like the atmosphere at the scene, quickly fell silent. He wanted to see Look, this year, Joe Pesci, who will win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor this year, how he performed.

Note: ① The conflict between the two marinated eggs is no secret. Johnson was asked about the conflict between him and Fan Guangtou during the promotion period of "Revenge Behemoth". At that time, the two had never been in the same frame, and they were all edited in post. ②Julia Roberts really had a live-action PK with Spielberg on the set, but unfortunately was stopped by the staff, that is, when filming "Captain Hook". ③Jay's stalk is that when he was filming a movie, although he participated in the ceremony of burning incense and worshiping God, he just stood there and did not worship, because he did not believe in Buddhism, but in Christianity.
