Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 72 Cautious Steven, Crazy James

However, even if he is handsome, he cannot be eaten.

Since Spielberg's storyboard didn't even include Velociraptor, Roland naturally couldn't ask stupidly how Triceratops, a representative of Late Cretaceous herbivorous dinosaurs, was captured by Velociraptor. replaced.

After asking about the method of shooting Triceratops, Roland remembered the name Stan Winston in his heart.

He plans to go back and pester Cameron to take him to Stan Winston's studio, wanting to take a closer look at what the model Spielberg said looks like .

After all, Cameron is very familiar with Stan Winston.

This person is not only a master of visual effects, a model special effects expert of Industrial Light and Magic, but also one of the three founders of the digital field.

It was precisely because Roland knew that Cameron would fool Winston out of ILM, so he thought of going the way of Cameron. If the other party is a diehard ILM fan, then find Spielber grid, it is more effective.

While Roland set the goal, Spielberg also completed all the work.

Seeing that the time for grouping was approaching, both parties went back to Los Angeles together after knowing each other's intention to leave.

Since he was flying Spielberg's private plane this time, Roland, who was coming to the airport again, did not encounter the previous siege situation. When they parted, Ganetti, who had already become a "best friend" with Catherine, greeted My daughter said goodbye to them one by one in a friendly manner. As for—Spielberg and Roland?

The two of them were a beat slower than everyone else.

Not only that, when getting off the plane, Spielberg also carefully asked Roland:

"Don't tell James anything about Jurassic Park."

"Although it is impossible for him to leave "Terminator 2" alone and come directly to me, but—"

"In a short period of time, "Jurassic Park" can't be turned on."

The cautious gaze under the lens was clearly captured by Roland.

The rogue kung fu of the truck driver, who would never let go of something he saw, had always been something Roland wanted to learn.

"Good director, I won't talk nonsense."

Roland nodded, and said, "Then, see you when we shoot "Captain Hook"?"

The clean answer made Spielberg smile with satisfaction. Although Zemeckis is a guy he is very optimistic about, and he also loves the house, he is willing to take more care of that student's students, and even teach techniques, but—this It doesn't mean that he likes gossips, project secrets, it's okay for his own people to ask them whatever they want, but if someone speaks loosely and casually blows up and leaks randomly, then he will be really upset.

Although Cameron is also his good friend, compared with inheriting this relationship, it is still a lot worse.

He can safely hand over the camera to Lucas and let him help with the filming, he can also accept the proposal of his elder brother Francis, revise the script, and even entrust the project to his fellow gangsters, but—he doesn’t want anyone other than his own Guy, interfere with his creation.

Since Roland is so upright, he will naturally not be as worried as Ba Po.

"No problem, you know where the crew is, just come here when the time comes."

"We will start the game in February. At that time, James should not have closed the film."

"But it doesn't matter. I've seen his schedule. During the closing period, he also filmed in-studio scenes. If you want to come, just ask Sony's staff to bring you here with a battery car in the factory. "

"It doesn't matter if you miss it, Robert learned it by watching the video."

Okay—

If Spielberg and Roland mentioned Zemeckis three days ago, he might not know how to reply, but now, after getting to know him, he certainly knows what kind of answer is the safest, "I I just watched director Zemeckis filming at Universal Studios, and he also answered some of my questions, as for the systematic teaching, I have never had it before.”

"It doesn't matter, since you are interested, learn slowly."

Spielberg didn't care about Roland's words, as if everyone in the circle had seen the clue.

That kind of brand of skill cannot be imprinted in a short while, nor can it be washed away in a few strokes.

Without getting too entangled in this kind of topic, before leaving, Spielberg also raised one last question, "Oh, by the way, since it is a cameo, then our signing contract only has a salary of one dollar, yours I haven't decided on the picture yet, I'll talk about the details when you come..."

"No problem, director." Roland replied without hesitation, "It's all up to your arrangement."

To be honest, Roland really doesn't care about signing a contract.

It doesn't matter whether there is a lens or not.

Now he is not interested in any movie roles, but the whole process from scratch.

From Robert Zemeckis at the beginning, to Chris Columbus later, to James Cameron later...

The shooting experience with every director is his greatest wealth.

The sparks of thinking and inspirations flashing from each director are more important than money.

Many people say that knowledge is wealth, and this sentence is the biggest deception.

What is 985211, it is not as good as the demolition of ten houses, and it is regarded as the truth.

However, film creation is different whether it is possible or not.

Whether the skill is high or low, the judge can be judged.

Even if your artistic skills are not enough, after a long period of technical training, you will still be a Ron Howard with a steady style of painting; if you can get a little inspiration and reach the level of Robert Zemeckis, there is a great possibility ; If he finds his own path and develops it, Tim Burton's box office status is far away; Various styles can be switched at will—

Cough cough cough.

This depends on whether your artistic cells are strong or not.

If one year ago, Roland needed start-up funds in an attempt to make himself a pig on the wind.

Now, with the start-up capital and the target project, you can put aside things like being a second senior brother.

Anyway, it's still early, these things are not in a hurry.

Because of this, for Roland who wants to do this job when he is rich and strong, the real shooting experience of those big shots is very important.

With the end of the holiday, Roland also re-joined the "Terminator 2" crew.

Since it was a New Year's Eve vacation, he naturally brought a lot of gifts to the crew members.

During the distribution, the smiles on those guys' faces made Roland feel happy.

Regardless of whether the emotions revealed by the other party are true or not, anyway, when standing at the door of the crew to deliver things, Roland felt that he was no different from the little Ma who stood at the door of the Goose Factory building every year to give out red envelopes!

What he gave is equivalent to a new year red envelope!

It feels so good to be worth hundreds of billions!

However, when the truck driver entered the group, he could clearly feel that the other party's interest was not high.

Not only that, this guy also glared at Roland while receiving the gift.

"Roland Allen?"

"What are you doing standing here?"

"Go in, go in!"

"It's time to put on makeup, it's time to read books, it's time to get ready, don't stand here stupidly!"

"We paid you for you to come and film! It's not for you to give gifts here!"

The sudden violent words made Roland confused.

No... You guys took the wrong medicine, right?

I gave you a new year gift with good intentions, not only did I not say a word of thanks, but instead I started talking to others?

What does this mean?

The point is, it doesn’t matter if you can’t see it, you are the boss of the entire crew, but you have already scooped up the presents, and then you are yelling? ? ?

Isn't it too shameless to do so?

If Roland was stunned by the irritable words when they first met, then he really couldn't understand the other party's thunder on the set afterwards.

Robert Patrick, who played T-1000, was just laughing, but with his helpless laughter, the truck driver went into a rage and rained saliva on the other side.

This situation made Roland extremely puzzled.

He even wondered if the truck driver had suffered some life blow in the past two weeks.

And just when he was confused, Schwarzenegger, who was sprayed by Cameron as useless before, helped him to solve his doubts.

Sighed, rubbing his face with his hands helplessly, Schwarzenegger said: "I heard—"

"in argument-"

"possible-"

"Going to get a divorce—"

A few simple words made Roland guess the cause and effect. If there is no accident, the quarrel in the mouth of the future governor is naturally about Cameron and his wife, who is the only Oscar winner in future history. Director's Award for Female Director.

And the story between them is really unclear.

There is a saying that it is difficult for an upright official to decide on family affairs. After Cameron and Bigelow divorced, they have been walking towards high places. First they filmed "True Lies", and then "Titanic". Compared with him, Bigelow's life trajectory, that is simply a trough.

But ten years later, Cameron, who surged forward with "Avatar" and broke his own record, was defeated by his ex-wife's "The Hurt Locker".

The incompleteness of this kind of surprise is really embarrassing.

Such reincarnation made the gossip between the two of them explode in an instant.

Back then, when they divorced, did Cameron fall in love with Linda Hamilton, the heroine of the "Terminator" series?

Or will Bigelow flirt with future Tom Sizemore, who will star in "Heat," "Saving Private Ryan," "Black Hawk Down," "Pearl Harbor," and "Enemy of the State" first?

Who knows this kind of thing!

Roland doesn't want to know the gossip that exposes people's pain.

After sighing lightly, he shrugged and said, "Don't discuss this kind of thing, just pretend you don't know."

"Huh?" Schwarzenegger snorted softly, and didn't mean to refute.

Because Cameron's temper is really not good now, Roland, who was entangled with him before, also fell silent.

Touching other people's bad luck when they are angry, isn't that crazy?

Not only that, Roland also put away the idea of ​​hoping that Cameron could match up and get on line with mold special effects master Stan Weston.

Anyway, there will be contact with Spielberg in the future, and "Jurassic Park" will not be able to shoot for a while, so there is no need to worry about this matter at all.

In this state, the crew came to an abandoned factory, where they finished filming the final fight scene between T-800 and T-1000.

While filming this segment, Roland also discovered that in later generations, the actress who used 140 barrels of mineral water for filming was really 'wronged'.

In "Terminator 2", is the last screen of molten steel in the steel factory a special effect?

no-

Roland watched helplessly as the prop master poured buckets of milk into the sink.

Finally, the place where the T-800 self-destructed was not created by any post-production special effects. The set designer just filled the tank with water, and then directly shot an approximate light through the headlight hidden at the bottom...

Not only that, there is also a reason for the governor's action of looking up when he fell into molten steel before self-destructing.

Is Robot Love and Duty?

No-

The light in the water is too strong, if you look down, you will be blind!

Such a situation really made Roland want to vomit.

but-

Once he saw Cameron's unhappy face, he still held back.

Even Roland's crew cancer has subsided, and the atmosphere of "Terminator 2" during the shooting sprint is even more dull.

Under the high pressure of the truck driver, everyone became extremely silent.

However, even though Roland was surrounded by dark clouds, there was still good news similar to dawn.

After entering January, "Home Alone" was impacted by new films, and the decline became larger, but even so, it still took away nearly 260 million box office from North America. If it was postponed for one to two months, it would exceed 300 million , no problem.

With the simultaneous release in multiple countries and regions, the global box office has also reached 400 million, and the bonuses brought by the box office also appeared in Roland's account on time.

As for the sequel?

The matter that was tested twice by Fox before, suddenly there was no news.

And this, it’s actually quite simple—

Chris Columbus's new film "The Big Boy Should Get Married" will be released in 1991;

The "Landlord from Hell" and "Assassination of Kennedy" starring Joe Pesci will also meet with you this year;

Daniel Stern's "Urban Hillbilly" has even been finalized;

Not only that, John Hughes, who has lost contact since filming, is also filming his new movie "Street Pretty Girl"...

To put it bluntly, although "Home Alone" became a hit, no one from the producer to the actors was worried about the sequel. Everyone put Fox aside and waited for the final box office figures.

However, this is also normal.

It's up for grabs!

Everyone hopes that their worth can rise like the box office.

Besides, "Home Alone" is not a blockbuster with special effects in the future. If the main creative team is abandoned, Fox will never even try to play. In the face of this situation, whoever loses composure first will fall into a passive position.

In the past, investors like Fox might have contacted all parties and wanted to break through each one.

But the problem is, now the main creative team has five people, which is monolithic.

Roland is on the same boat as Chris Columbus, Joe Pesci, and Daniel Stern. As for John Hughes...

I forgot to say that.

Chris Columbus has finished filming "The Big Boy Gets Married", and the lead producer is John Hughes.

In this way, Roland is of course happy to be at ease when the five of them are in a group.

He wished that everyone would work together and leave Fox alone!

You know, the negotiation time in his mind is after the filming of "Captain Hook" is finished!

Not to mention anything else, at least, let him follow Spielberg and finish making a movie first, right?

In addition to this favorable event, the sudden invitation also surprised him very much.

When he complied with the truck driver's request, he held his breath, resisted the exposure shot from the bottom of the water, watched the future governor fall into the hot molten steel, his eyes were moist (I couldn't help being stimulated by the light!) thought When he was about to cry, the manager whom he hadn't seen for a long time suddenly visited and personally handed an envelope to him.

After Roland opened it for a look, he realized what the gold-plated invitation actually meant.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association hopes that Roland Allen can go to the Hollywood Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on January 19, 1991 to participate in the 48th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards Ceremony.

because-

He and Gerald Depardieu ("Green Card"), Johnny Depp ("Edward Scissorhands"), Richard Gere ("Pretty Woman"), Patrick Swayze ("Pretty Woman") "Human Ghost Love Is Unbroken") was included in the final selection of the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy.

Note: ①Although Stan Weston is from Industrial Light & Magic, he was Cameron’s assistant director when filming “Terminator”, and he also helped Cameron film “Alien 2”. ②The marriage status of Cameron and Bigelow has not been confirmed so far. It is reported that Cameron cheated first, because after their divorce, Linda Hamilton gave birth to Cameron. It is reported that Mr. Bigelow Derailed, had an affair with Tom Sizemore, because Tom Sizemore and Robert De Niro were friends, and Robert De Niro recommended Bigelow to Martin Scorsese, And Scorsese was a big help when Bigelow made "K-19: The Widowmaker," but so far, the person involved has never responded to this question. ③In "Terminator 2", the final molten steel scene in the steel factory is water, milk, and high-exposure lights, and then some floodlight effects and flames are added in the later stage. The cost is already very cheap.
