Chapter 103 Seattle and Status Influence
To be honest, if it was the premiere of other movies, the organizer gave Roland 15 tickets, which is obviously too much; because an auditorium can only seat a few hundred people at most, and more celebrities, Film critics, isn't that noisy?
but-
The guest lineup of "Captain Hook" does not need the organizer to worry about it at all.
Spielberg's movie is released, and his three elder brothers will definitely come to support him, plus his and Lucas' apprentices, as well as the students of Francis and old Martin, the big names on the red carpet, it's almost free The same pops out.
Clint Eastwood has to give face to his brother-in-law, right?
Jack Nicholson has to give face to his classmates, right?
Tom Hanks has to give himself Bole face, right?
The red carpet guests of "Captain Hook" are all more luxurious than the Golden Globe lineup that Roland participated in years ago, but what if the summer premiere of "Terminator 2" is put together with it?
Maybe there are only the number of film critics, which can be compared.
To put it bluntly, in the past year, Roland's exposure has far exceeded that of everyone at present. With the blessing of box office results, his name can be on the headlines of major news with a title, but it is not the same as before. Compared with these guys who control 70% of the resources in the circle, he can sing "Nothing" like the national father-in-law.
What Roland has, which of these guys doesn't have it?
What Roland doesn't have, they have everything.
In this way, when Roland and the Olsen sisters stepped on the red carpet, the treatment he enjoyed was far less intense than when they appeared on the red carpet of "Terminator 2". In other words, even if many reporters wanted to know, Roland was How to get on MJ's MV, but in order to care about the emotions of other big shots, their behavior has restrained a lot.
When facing the restrained media, Roland felt even more at ease. The 50-meter red carpet was completed in a minute.
The reason why the blanket star is called the blanket star, isn’t it because he rubs against the red carpet to raise his position?
This simply doesn't apply in Hollywood!
Not only that, but behind Roland there are a bunch of bosses waiting to leave. If he doesn't go down, won't that make others unhappy?
Although those guys don’t care about these trivial things with him, but if they have time to live on the red carpet, why not take Aunt Ganetti to meet more people! Besides—Mohamy and Needham's guys can't walk down the red carpet! They entered through the side door with the invitation card, but they were still waiting for him in the lounge!
After meeting these guys, Roland fulfilled Needham's wish and took him to say hello to all the bosses. As the incidents during the filming of "Captain Hook" continued to spread, these bosses also smiled Welcome Roland's arrival.
"Oh! Roland, this is our first meeting!"
"Yeah, of course I've seen both of your movies, they're pretty good."
"You ask me who I like the most? Of course I like the John you played as a tough guy!"
"Hold one? No problem!"
"Steven told me that you are very similar to me and have the potential to change careers."
"He originally wanted you to go to my "Unforgiven" crew to study, but I thought about it, and I still refused. There is no need for you to watch westerns, which are half-buried in the cemetery... "
"You don't mind? Well, you can come to my crew anytime you have time in the future."
"Oh, is this the founder of what Internet repository Steven said?"
"Signature? Yes... No, I don't know what you guys are doing, but he told me about such a thing."
...
"What? You like Mike Murphy?"
"Oh, Roland, can you stop joking with me?"
"The last time I had dinner with Al, he told me, you guy, you are very 'lovely'!"
"You said in front of him that you liked Sonny, but then you turned your head and told Francis that you liked Michael Corleone. I have heard of your ability to like everyone, so—"
"I won't be fooled by you."
"Okay, okay, just kidding."
"James' "Terminator 2" was shot very well, and your performance is also very good."
"I heard that you can learn everything? You also directed the children's part in "Captain Hook"?"
"Then I'll have to see later, how is your filming going?"
"Don't worry, take a photo before leaving!"
"Did you secretly show your sister "The Shining"? Otherwise, why wouldn't they come near me?"
...
"Roland? Nice to meet you too!"
"Oh! Ashley and Mary? I'm sorry, but I don't recognize who you are even though I watch your TV series."
"Yes, I like you guys."
"Before watching "Terminator 2", I originally wanted to ask Roland to play Jonah in "Sleepless in Seattle", that is, my son, but after watching "Terminator 2", I think you still Go do Jurassic Park."
"That movie suits you better than Seattle."
"What? Change a little boy to a little girl?"
"Well... I have to ask the producer about this matter first, but if the two of them can do it, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Yes, yes, they told me that you are not confident in your acting skills, and you always feel that you can improve."
"It's okay, when your "Jurassic" is finished, you can go directly to my "Philadelphia Story" group."
“Although I have never been a teacher, I can tell you my own thoughts.”
"Of course, you can also ask Martin to teach you. He is a real teacher, the kind who gets a salary from New York University!"
...
Roland is actually a very down-to-earth person. When he attended the premiere of "Terminator 2", he felt that the whole process was very boring, because the guys present were basically editors of various media, or they were from major newspapers. A film critic with a column, they can't do anything but praise your film.
Just like the forty thieves who can say that sesame seeds open the door, don’t their characteristics fully reflect the **** nature of the media? Acquire media, control communication channels; am I wrong? Have you had a chance to speak?
Goose Factory also has similar characteristics, heavily supporting legal associations, supporting the development of upstream and downstream courts and their institutions; am I wrong? you can say! But be careful I tell you!
Roland is really not interested in dealing with the media that can be controlled with money, but now? The colleagues in the circle have more common topics with him. You can also say that he is snobbish, but—
Since everyone is here, don’t make a detour, are you worthy of such a good opportunity?
Roland never felt that he was a saint, and all his efforts were to seize the opportunity, and since these guys were right in front of him, if he didn't go up and chat a few words, how could he know what happened in the time he didn't understand? What?
Almost entered Eastwood's crew and wandered around with this old escort?
Pacino sold his "old bottom" to Nicholson long ago?
Just these things, Roland's trip was worthwhile! Not to mention, Hanks is willing to ask the producer of "Sleepless in Seattle" if he can change the image of the boy in the film.
The movie "Seattle" won't have a good reputation in the future.
But this kind of romance film about fate can always capture the hearts of young men and women!
A Mary Sue-like love story will never lack the market, but as a love movie, it can allow the hero and heroine to reap more than 200 million in the global box office while only appearing at the same time for less than three minutes. The description of destiny, the description of faith, let those who have a fanatical love for religion, willingly pay for tickets!
As for religion and belief, almost everyone in America has it.
Because of this, completely follow what is written in Luke’s Gospel, obeying ‘Again I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. ’ The idea of "Seattle" is destined to gain people's love.
This is also the reason why the Huaxia version of Downey will only be scolded for having bad views after copying "**** Meets Seattle".
The original film was clearly about faith and love, but what about the things he copied?
is the mistress' trip to the confinement center in America.
Of course, that plagiarized copy has nothing to do with the current Roland.
Now he only knows that if the children in "Seattle" can switch genders and be taken down by the Olsen sisters, it will be very beneficial to them-the little boy in the original book is really lovable. For the sake of father's love, all the efforts made will definitely make the two sisters who rely on cuteness to make a living in the TV circle more popular with sister fans and mother fans.
If there are resources and don’t occupy them, isn’t that a fool?
As for matching?
One hundred low-budget independent films can never be worth one blockbuster!
What's more, "Seattle" has Hanks and sweet sister Meg at the box office. The Olsen sisters only need to be responsible for the icing on the cake. A failed project!
However, this was just Roland casually mentioning it in front of Hanks.
As for whether it will be successful, he himself does not know.
However, when Needham followed Roland around the arena, he became more and more impressed by the twelve-year-old boy next to him. Those box office record holders won prizes. No one who is soft-handed will reject Roland? Looking at the 'heavy' autograph book in his hand, Needham felt a little emotional—
I met my favorite actors and directors today.
Before coming here, he never thought that he could take a group photo with them!
"Thank you very much. Meeting them is a dream I have been hoping to realize since I was eight years old." When everyone was about to enter the venue, the founder of IMDb, who was shaved, wearing glasses, and dressed as a programmer, was all smiles Confidently hugged Roland.
"Oh Cole, don't be so polite..."
"We are all friends, let's help each other!"
"Steven, I'll take you there after the end, it may only be a while, because I'm flying to New York on the tenth."
Roland smiled and shook his head, the indifference in his words made Needham deeply agree.
For a "little person" like him, being able to attend a premiere with a big star like Roland is already very happy, let alone communicating with Spielberg for a while, even if he can only shake hands The dream of "Jaws" can be fulfilled!
...
And when Roland came to his seat, sat down with peace of mind, feeling the harmonious atmosphere around him, he dared to say that this was the most comfortable premiere he had ever attended—reporters would not chase after you to ask questions, Big coffee will not put on your face arrogantly because of their own status, everything is so natural, no different from soaking in hot springs.
This kind of safety zone formed by a series of factors such as background and box office made Roland feel extremely at ease.
He even felt that under such circumstances, even if "Captain Hook" was filmed like shit, the guests, reporters, and film critics at the scene would be full of tongues, blowing the whole movie to the sky from all aspects.
The plot is gentle? Too slow?
Then we can blow the mirror.
Peter Pan doesn't have the chicness, pride, and determination to run counter to the secular society in the novel?
Then we can say his upbringing, authenticity, and the 'correct' life that people are facing now.
This is a vulgar adult fairy tale, a bowl of unpalatable Mengpo soup?
It doesn't matter, we can still play acting! Williams' middle-aged Peter Pan completely has the tired shadow of adults in real society, while Hoffman's Captain Hook is still majestic, full of stubbornness and innocence!
This is-
The influence brought by the status.
The quality of a movie is itself a difficult thing to define.
What I like is good, and what you like is bad. How can there be any fairness in this kind of subjective judgment?
But when you really like a guy, his **** will smell good.
Because you didn't allow him to fall off the altar, simple as that.
Even if—
The other party really missed this time, really lying on the credit book, trying to make money.
But as long as it is not three times in a row, people will eventually forget these things.
Because of this, when Roland found out that after the movie was shown for nearly half an hour, the two six-year-old girls, Ashley and Mary, still didn't understand the plot, but it was Aunt Ganetti who was sitting beside her. When he was enjoying it, he understood that the movie "Captain Hook" is really not suitable for children.
Raising his hands, he called the two little guys to climb into his arms. While pecking each of their foreheads lightly, Roland also said in their ears: "If you feel bored, just close your eyes and sleep for a while."
"I'll take you to see "Beauty and the Beast" tomorrow."
"But—" Ashley looked at Roland with big watery eyes, "isn't that bad?"
After hearing this, Mary nodded in agreement.
Although they are still young, their minds have already matured. They understand that it is not appropriate to sleep now, both emotionally and rationally.
"Then, don't doze off." Roland tilted his head and looked at them seriously.
"There is "Beauty and the Beast", no." Mary replied very honestly.
"If there is a princess dress, we can go to bed tomorrow." Ashley followed her sister's words and added another sentence.
Such words made Roland laugh immediately.
Okay—
It seems that regardless of the era, little girls always like Disney.
From Prince Charming to Queen Charming, people have always found ways to trick little girls into buying princess dresses.
But since the two little lolis made a request, how could Roland not be satisfied?
"Then you have to watch the movie well, because "Beauty and the Beast" was made by Steven's good friend."
"If you want Princess Belle's princess dress, you can only get the original version from Steven."
Note: ① Nicholson is a student of Roger Corman, the king of Hollywood B-movies. After the success of "The Shining", he cried to the camera and said that after so many years of filming, he finally made a teacher Best B-movie ever. After the success of "Terminator", Cameron added a special sentence to the DVD audio track, "I was taught by Roger Corman Film School." Scorsese and Francis were also students of Roger Corman. These big guys are originally from the same school, so it is no problem for Nicholson to be familiar with Roland in the article, because they are his own people. ②"Flags of Our Fathers", "Letters from Iwo Jima", "The Bridge of Madison County"... Many of Eastwood's films were cast by Spielberg. After "Millions" won the award, Spielberg directly said 'Congratulations to my family for winning two statuettes'. ③The rating of the movie "Seattle" is not high, but this is normal, because the ratings of all romantic movies are actually not high. It's all good, but the score can't get up to eight. But even so, there are still many people watching.
