Chapter 80: fans and people
Chapter 80 Fan Group and Myself
After entrusting David with the management of assets that Roland doesn't understand, Roland, who has nothing to do, has a more nourishing life. What is the daily life of a traveler? Don't be kidding me, okay?
Isn’t struggle for a better life? Nerves are tense all the time, so in the end, you can't take advantage of the old Wang next door?
Those like George Lucas are the winners in life. After having an IP that can make you financially free, enjoying life becomes the main theme!
And James Cameron is also a good role model. After making money, he runs to his dream and embraces the deep sea. This kind of life is interesting!
Even Spielberg, a Hollywood model worker, will take time out of filming to have dinner with his family and work? What is work?
If spending the money he earns to accompany his family is his happiness, then he is happy every day...
Because of this, there are many things Roland can do besides writing scripts.
For example—
Take the kids, take the kids and take the kids…
Yes, in the age without the Internet, after having tried various sports, for Roland who could not travel far, helping Aunt Ganetti with the children was his greatest joy. Anyway, he didn’t have to go to school and had plenty of time It can perfectly fill all kinds of vacancies, and in this case, the relationship between the two little lolis of Ashley and Mary and him is progressing very well. Sometimes, in the face of father's preaching and mother's nagging At that moment, they would turn around and rush towards Roland, burying their two small heads in Roland's arms, and using the back of their heads to resist everything they didn't want to face.
Such behavior also caused headaches for the Olsen couple, and even made James, his own brother, a bit apprehensive.
Of course, if it's just to help take care of the sisters, then that's fine.
What makes James most uncomfortable is that the younger sister Elizabeth only hugs Roland's arm and calls her brother.
That’s right, Elizabeth, who is already two years old, can speak a lot of words now, and can basically know everything she needs to know. When she is excited, she can also transform into Luo Jiaying, but she can’t sing "Only You".
And the reason why she has such a good relationship with Roland is purely because Roland has a lot of time...
James has to report to school every day and attend class on time, but what about Roland?
If you have nothing to do, you can take her out for a walk.
James' pocket money is strictly controlled by the Olsen couple, but what about Roland?
Sorry, he can buy whatever Elizabeth wants.
Not only that, on February 16th, when James went to participate in the school's weekend activities, after he left, Roland even offered to take the little birthday boy to Disney...
Thus, James, who boarded the school bus and participated in group activities, was so gorgeously forgotten by his sister.
Now, if you ask who Elizabeth James is, this little one will definitely stare at you with big eyes full of doubts.
And if asked, who is Roland, then she will definitely look around with piercing little eyes, because she knows that this guy named Roland can bring her everything she wants, what kind of fluffy doll, What shiny little clothes, what sweet little snacks, what fancy little toys...
To her, Roland is even better than her parents.
Because parents can still say Yes or No, but Roland can only say Ok.
Why do children have to make choices?
I, Elizabeth, want it all!
Of course, while Roland doted on the child, his every move was clearly captured by the paparazzi.
What morning walk (morning) bend (run) with the three sisters...
Why did the family go shopping in the morning...
Why is Roland celebrating the little sister's birthday...
When these life trivia related to Roland turned into gossip news and appeared on the street tabloids authorized by the roadside agency, many of those who pay attention to entertainment news and like to talk about celebrity life as a topic of conversation showed aunt-like smiles .
"Oh, it's really a loving family..."
"I envy Roland and Ashley! This is the life most people yearn for!"
"This is the state that a child star should have. Compared with most child stars who are oppressed and work hard, their life really looks like a child!"
Although child stars are a fast-moving consumer product, many fans even hope to see their favorite guys every day, but with the progress of the times, behind the scenes of the birth of child stars is also everything that many people want to peek at. They hope that their favorite children Being able to grow up healthily is like cloud sucking cats in the future. The child star economy, star economy, and fan economy are actually raising babies in the cloud.
Of course, this is actually a very normal thing. Peeping into the privacy of children and watching them grow up can bring a certain amount of pleasure to people. In this case, if the little guy they like Well, then they will naturally be very happy, and if they are deeply oppressed, then these fathers and mothers of Yun will rise up and resist.
Not only that, but the little ones will complain if life and work are not going as they wish.
After seeing these gossip news, in addition to expressing blessings, some people are naturally dissatisfied.
For example—
"Roland is obviously at school age, why won't the Olsen couple let him go to school?"
"If I remember correctly, after the end of "Terminator 2", Roland only has one "Captain Hook" project left. Since there are no new movies, he can consider returning to school!"
"The Olsen couple don't want to use more subtle means to squeeze him? Although they haven't accepted a project for him now, they may be waiting for the box office results after "Terminator 2"? They may want to let Roland Maximize the value!"
Just like the fans of Nenniu Wufang tear up their idol's studio in the future; just like Yaya who was forced by fans to resign from "Thirty Only"; When there is a difference between them, they will naturally express their objections after spending money and running out of time.
In some people's opinion, Roland, who didn't accept the project, should return to campus.
Instead of wasting time on daily chores.
As for the movie project?
As long as Roland doesn't accept projects from second- and third-tier directors, fans will accept it.
No way, who made his doll run to the end of the child star as soon as it appeared?
For the vast majority of fans, cooperating with guys below the A-lister is simply detrimental to the worth of their own dolls, and being close to a big guy like Spielberg is the best choice for raising their own children.
Of course, it's noisy, it's noisy, anyway, Roland can't hear these voices.
Sometimes, the Internet can help a person quickly become famous, but sometimes, without the Internet, many conflicts can be resolved. Although the fame of a star in this era can only be judged by the box office, this kind of real way is comparable to what is false. The data of the brain is much better, not only that, before the IOC, even if people disagree, they can’t fight, at most they just chat with friends, it’s impossible to be the same as later generations, because of a small thing, and Arguing with people on the Internet, resulting in momentary anger and direct disengagement.
The Internet is a double-edged sword and a weapon for fame, but without the Internet, it is easier to maintain a fan base.
Amidst the Roland-related topic of love and family, the North American box office of "Home Alone" finally reached 300 million. Not only that, the global box office also successfully crossed 500 million.
After the record was set, the North American Theater Alliance and Fox finally pulled the film down. At the same time, the videotape was also put on the shelves, and the sales of the videotape had nothing to do with Roland. Well, even if Fox makes a lot of money, he still won't get a piece of the pie. Those who are connected with him are actually left with the last two million box office bonuses.
but-
Even though Roland was very Buddhist, the major media still reported their success.
""Landlord from Hell", "Assassination of Kennedy", this is the new trend of Joe Pesci we already know."
In the ABC news report, the host put the film trio together, "Frankly speaking, Joe has already proven himself, and the cooperation with Oliver Stone has actually become our favorite point. Even if there is an accident in "Landlord from Hell", it will not affect him in any way. As for Daniel Stern? This is also our old friend. To be honest, his "Urban Hillbilly" "I'm not optimistic, I hope he can give us some surprises, otherwise, his contract that has just been raised is likely to fall back..."
"As for Roland?"
"In the past 1990, Roland Allen rushed out of the atmosphere like a space shuttle. It is unimaginable that the youngest Mr. 500 million box office in Hollywood history was born in this way. Considering that he There is also a "Terminator 2" that will be released. We don't know how long he will stay at the 500 million yuan position, but what we know is that if the box office of "Terminator 2" does not exceed 300 million, then it will Their failure..."
Indeed, everyone felt that Roland Allen was the one most likely to have problems in the entire "Home Alone" film crew. After all, the investment in "Terminator 2" was as high as 100 million. Under the circumstances, if the North American box office cannot exceed 100 million and the global box office cannot reach 300 million, it will be considered a big sale of peripheral products, and it will also be a loss.
In front of the combination of James Cameron + Roland Allen + Arnold Schwarzenegger, if the box office does not reach 400 million, then their worth will drop accordingly.
Over 400 million?
My God.
The world produces so many movies a year, how many of them can exceed 400 million?
Even though fans of various companies are full of confidence in this movie, it is still too risky for the data estimator.
After all, so far, it can be called a box office myth. There are only two guys who make one movie and sell one. If even their younger generations can continue to write legends by stepping on dog shit, then there is really no box office game in Hollywood. Can't play!
Isn’t it okay to all have the last names of your Jewish gang?
Others are still making farts!
However, even if these industry insiders are worried about Roland's film career, but—
No one thinks that the sequel of "Home Alone" will end because of "Terminator 2".
If "Terminator 2" hits the street, it doesn't matter!
James Cameron may be in the water, but Spielberg is obviously not!
It's a pity that when the external analysis was sound, Roland directly let go of their words.
An expert who won't get slapped in the face is not a good expert, just like a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good cook.
While conceiving the script and spending time with his family, Roland also waited for the announcement of "Captain Hook".
No way, although Roland seems like an idler, and Spielberg is not in a hurry for a while, but the other leading actors have film appointments after all!
If it is dragging on, regardless of whether it is Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, or Julia Roberts, they may not be able to get together for centralized shooting.
Besides, Sony's money is not blown by the wind.
Now that the studio equipment has been set up, it would be unreasonable both emotionally and rationally if it is not turned on.
Because of this, the entire crew put the shooting on the schedule before the Oscars ceremony.
And when Roland got the whole script, he read it carefully.
He discovered that the final draft of this story seemed to be exactly the same as the flow of the previous life movie.
In this way, Roland knew that the ending of this movie should be very different from the previous life.
Word of mouth collapsed, box office soared.
But... these seem to have nothing to do with him!
He just came here to study under the name of a cameo, so why does the film matter?
What's more, the reason why the film's reputation collapsed was entirely because the conception of the film itself did not meet the expectations of the public. It had nothing to do with shooting skills, narrative structure, and mirroring methods. What Roland learned was not the conception of the film, In this way, whether the script is changed or not, it really won't affect his study progress.
So—Roland, who had a normal heart, didn't get entangled in other things.
Directly regard the life of the crew in the next few months as clocking in and going to get off work.
However, when he came to the crew with the mentality that what he learned was what he earned, the crowds of people on the first day of filming blinded his 24K titanium alloy explosion-proof dog eyes, because he saw it in the introduction of the cast members. A bunch of acquaintances.
Except for Steven, Robin, and Cosmo who had been in contact with each other before, and Dustin and Roberts who had met once, what are the two sons of Hoffman, what is the rock star David in the 1960s and 1970s? -Crosby, what a future female president in "Air Force One", what a small town doctor in "Rain Man", what a princess Leia in "Star Wars", what Steven's goddaughter , Little Chili Pepper after the great flood in the future...
All special codes are members of the Jewish gang.
Not only that, when Roland saw George Lucas on the list, he finally understood what it means to play a ticket movie.
Most of the guys in the crew are members of the Jewish gang?
This kind of nepotism is too special, right?
But after thinking about it, Roland thought it was quite normal.
If it were him, he would be willing to use his own people!
This is not a question of worrying about using it, but why should I praise you when you are neither relatives nor friends!
Note: ① After Spielberg had a child, he became a director who likes to clock in and leave work. He likes to go home for dinner at night, and after the establishment of DreamWorks, he wrote this rule into the company manual, using his In other words, children are more important than movies. ②Members of the Screen Actors Union and Screenwriters Union are the two groups with the highest unemployment rate in Hollywood. More than 40% of them are unemployed every year, so it is a matter of course to rely on a big tree for food Not only that, but the same is true of the crew members. Many people can only work with one or two crew members a year. As long as they get to know the director well and the director has something to eat, they will basically not lose their jobs. But—compared with these situations , the crew of "Captain Hook" is really 'too much' home, what crew, what actors, even the background board of the cameo are all Spielberg's own people, Princess Leia and Lucas are really Appeared.
