Chapter 165 "Your good thing is here."
The temperature in New York in September was just right, and the sun was shining brightly on the 15th.
As usual, Roland got up at six o'clock, washed and brushed his teeth, and then leaned on the sofa and recliner to listen to the morning news of NBC Broadcasting Company. I went to the swimming pool on the top floor of the hotel and swam for an hour while there was no one there, and then went back to the house to take a shower, put on a suit, and let the long-term hired stylist comb my hair to look like an adult.
Different from those companies that like to turn the premiere into a dinner and reception, the premiere of "Seven Deadly Sins" was scheduled for 1:30 in the afternoon, and they did not allow anyone to eat or drink.
It's not that Roland is stingy, but that at his age, it's hard for him to eat, drink, and so on.
According to the laws of America, people under the age of 21 cannot publicly possess alcoholic beverages in any way and for any reason. If there is a reception at the Hollywood premiere, how can the boss not be toasted with a wine glass?
Although Roland can substitute tea for wine, as long as he drinks it and is photographed by the paparazzi, it is definitely black material that may violate the law.
Because no one can prove that what he drank was not wine!
As for the security personnel smashing the paparazzi's camera with a hammer, taking away the negatives, and accusing the other party of not being qualified to shoot? The paparazzi can also take him to court, saying that before the law, qualifications are not a reason to destroy evidence!
So, in order to avoid trouble, in order to avoid being consumed, not eating or drinking is the best way to resist dirty water.
After all, Roland couldn't hire those lawyers who participated in the legislation back then!
In this way, after confirming that the appearance would not cause controversy, Roland drove to the premiere scene around one o'clock.
According to the routine procedure, first he ran across the red carpet with a jingle bell, and then accepted interviews from media reporters in the hall as an investor. , Let it to the creative team!
To put it bluntly, according to Sony's arrangement, Roland's participation in the premiere was just to show his face, so that media reporters could put the investor of "Seven Deadly Sins" on Roland's face. As for the deeper reason?
Isn’t wanting to make money the biggest reason?
But the problem is that it is unrealistic to want to make money while avoiding trouble.
After all, the only guy who stood up and gave the money to him was Zhang Mazi who drove the investor to death!
Because of this, even if Roland wants to give up the position of the protagonist to the main creative team, those invited guests holding invitations will still greet him who is hiding in the corner. Add up people, how bigger is it?
Brad Pitt asked for 7 million salary, but when he stood with Roland, Big went down instantly.
It's true that Steven Spielberg's goddaughter Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt are a couple, but compared to Roland's previous leaked romance film, the heat is almost nothing Same.
It is true that Kevin Spacey and David Fincher both have spiky hair, but compared with Roland's dyed-back blonde hair, people are more concerned about the brunette Peter Parker, and there will only be one department?
Faced with these problems of stealing the spotlight, Roland was very annoyed. According to the invitation list, after dealing with the big names who came to join in the show, before the premiere started, he rubbed the soles of his feet with oil and went straight to the show. Got into the rest room.
Supporting big names is all about giving face to each other, so it’s okay to ignore them. As for the rest of the film critics who have been paid for carriages, entertainment editors in the classified sections of major newspapers and magazines, and socialites in New York who join in the fun, he doesn’t bother to pay attention!
As soon as he came, he had no idea of winning the prize at all;
Secondly, he has already taken the lead in answering the reporter's questions, so there is no need to worry about the media's displeasure;
Three, he didn't want to make himself hard before the movie was shown.
While getting into the rest room, tearing off his suit jacket, and throwing himself on the sofa like a rag doll, Roland also complained in a low voice, "Why are these guys endless?"
"I said today is the premiere of "The Seven Deadly Sins", but the group of guys still surrounded me and asked questions."
"No way, who makes "Seven Deadly Sins" more willing to know the news about you than you?" The assistant on the side laughed, "Thinking differently, if I were them, I would also want to know about you." related matters."
"Oh! Lisa! Stop talking, I just want to lie down for a while..."
"When David and the others finish talking before the screening, you can call me again..."
Roland, who was lying on the sofa, waved his hand, indicating that Lisa, the assistant who was hired by David Olsen and followed him for nearly three years, was helping him in the foreign affairs office. The continuous problems made him very helpless. Now he can only I want to be quiet for a while, to let out the depression in my heart, so as not to affect the mood of watching movies later.
But it's a pity, how many guys who can get the invitation are easy to kill?
The disappearance of Roland does not mean that he can feel at ease. After finding out that he left the field, many guys who wanted to climb up to him to join the circle also came to find him. During the fifteen minutes when Roland lay down, the son of this family, The daughter of that family, just like flowing water, kept coming together. What made Roland speechless the most was that Paris Hilton was among them...
The future super socialite claimed to be a fan of Roland.
After finally getting an invitation to the premiere, I hope to meet Roland and become friends.
If given the chance, she also hopes to make some movies with Roland.
Roland, who was lying on the sofa, rolled his eyes at such a request.
Ghosts are willing to be friends with Paris Hilton!
Who is willing to be the hero of the video tape!
Not to mention anything else, Paris Hilton is not Roland's favorite type!
If he had to choose, he would rather be the male protagonist in the video tape of the daughter of the owner of Paris Hilton's modeling agency than have too much contact with Paris Hilton!
Cough cough cough...
"No, no, no, no, no, no! No one!" Roland was furious, waving his hands like an electric fan.
“David told me before that after looking at the list provided by Sony, he found one thing that I should like.”
"But now?"
"I was very upset!"
Yes, if it wasn't because David hung on Roland's appetite and refused to tell Roland what he found, then Roland wouldn't be as anxious as he is now—after all, he's been holding back for nearly half a month!
Come here with hope, but all you see are a bunch of 'old acquaintances'!
Under the circumstances that expectations may fail, if he is still not a little emotional, then there is something wrong!
Not only that, but Roland was still thinking secretly, if he didn't find any surprises today, and David didn't tell himself why after returning, then he would coax Elizabeth to move... Well, move to the next door, to his own house .
However, while he was thinking wildly, the assistant who had just been out for a while turned back.
Before she could speak, Roland said first, "Is this because someone wants to see me again, or is the screening about to start?"
"Didn't I say that no one will be seen?" Roland sighed, but he didn't take his anger out on the assistant. "Since he came in to ask, he must be a difficult guy to stop. Tell me, who is at the door?"
"Uh...I don't know each other either, but they said that the invitation was given by Director Francis..."
"Francis? Isn't that guy and Robin filming "Family with Jack"? I invited him, but he didn't come. In this case, who else could he give the invitation to?" Roland pouted, if it wasn't for Judea helped the group of filmmakers to make movies, do post-production and post-production, and no one came to the platform. It is impossible for him to be surrounded by a bunch of people like he is now!
"The older one said his name was Melanie Sloane, and he was also a producer."
Melanie Sloane?
Roland was sure that he had never heard of this name.
But in the name of Francis Coppola...
It is better to see it.
After all, New York is a place where no one dares to play Francis Coppola.
At least before the millennium, Coppola's beard was very popular in New York.
As a result, Roland, who hadn't had a good rest at all, got up again, and while sitting on the sofa, he also raised his cup and signaled to his assistant, "So that I won't be beaten by Francis when we meet next time, you just let me They, come in..."
The affirmative answer made the assistant turn around decisively, and while she was going out, Roland shook his head slightly and drank water.
This is really a good man being bullied, and a good horse being ridden by others.
If it were those bad-tempered A+lists, then these guys would definitely not flock to them like they are now. Only Roland, who has a good temper, can cause so many troubles now!
While drinking water, Roland muttered, what kind of person can Francis Coppola, a bearded man, give the invitation to, and when will the good thing David said appear—
With the sound of footsteps, three figures gradually appeared in front of Roland, and when the assistant stepped aside and wanted to introduce the one big and one behind him to Roland, Roland, who glanced lightly, suddenly raised his eyebrows !
The originally slack eyes focus instantly!
The first thing that appeared in front of him was a black-haired middle-aged woman with long hair and shawls. She didn't look very good, and she was wearing heavy makeup, so I estimated her age—about forty years old, anyway. Roland didn't know it.
but!
After looking down, Roland knew the girl with long straight Jin who was led by her!
Different from the eldest princess whom Roland compared with Paris Hilton just now, the girl in front of him doesn’t have any female transformations. As long as Roland is not blind, he can call out the other party’s name—
"Scarlett Johansson?"
That's right, what the assistant said, the guests who came with the invitation from Francis Coppola were Scarlett Johansson and her—well, Roland, who has read countless films, did not dare to confirm that this middle-aged lady Who is it, but since this beautiful lady is leading Scarlett, then she should be her mother, right?
While Roland was guessing, the middle-aged lady who heard the words was taken aback for a moment, then reacted immediately, and said with a smile: "Yeah, it seems that Francis has already told you? I'm really sorry, I chose to talk to you at this time. You meet."
“Originally, I wanted to take Kate to Los Angeles after the filming of "The Rehabilitation" was finished, but Sarah's "If Lucy Comes" happened to be filming in Brooklyn, New York, so..."
“…just in time for the premiere of The Seven Deadly Sins.”
Maybe it was because she had been in the circle for a long time, or maybe Coppola's bearded man instructed her to come. In short, Melanie Sloane's temperament in front of Roland was very hearty.
If it wasn't because Roland had watched enough in his previous life, he would even be confused by the weird movie title.
The "Black Prison Rehabilitation" she mentioned is the movie of Spielberg's wife, and "If Lucy Comes" is actually the heroine of "Sex and the City", Sarah Parker's movie, of course, She is also an ex-girlfriend of Robert Downey Jr.
As for how she met Scarlett's mother?
Because after breaking up with Robert Downey Jr., Sarah Parker and Nicolas Cage dated for a while.
Well, Roland admitted, this is not enough to explain it.
For him, the information on the two cabbages is clearer than any investment, ah, no, it is more clear than any movie.
After hearing her mother's eloquent explanation, she was secretly happy, but Roland, who looked normal, acted directly.
"Ah...Francis did tell me." (Fart! The old man said that he would go to Los Angeles after filming "The Rehabilitation of the Black Prison", but I waited from May 14th last year to September 10th this year It took five days to wait for someone!)
"Career is the most important thing, I can understand it, it doesn't matter if you make a movie first." (Nonsense! I thought that the group of old men sent Scarlett to my future father-in-law's daughter's children's clothing store to work illegally, and I forgot It's gone!)
"Sit, sit... Ah, by the way, have you guys been in touch with my uncle before?" (Is this what David said was a good thing?)
The instantly clear expression and the extremely familiar words made Scarlett's mother smile all over her face.
After asking her daughter to say hello to Roland, Melanie Sloan pulled her daughter to sit down and said, "Yes."
"Francis told me before that Steven found Scarlett a stable job and asked me to take her to try it out."
"And then, when I was filming "The Rehabilitation of Hell", I asked Kate for David's phone number."
"I have contacted your uncle many times, so he should know about me?"
Yes, after George Lucas' 50th birthday last year, Francis Coppola, who returned home, briefly talked to Melanie Sloan about the party.
After learning that the clothing brand of Steven Spielberg's student family may, probably, seems to need a stable model, Melanie Sloan agreed without saying a word, and while her daughter was filming , got in touch with David Olsen.
After listening to the narration, how could David Olsen not know the specific situation?
Although he doesn't work in Hollywood, Roland and his daughter have been playing together for so long, so he naturally understands that this is a move by the Jewish gang to kidnap people at a deeper level! Roland is not Jewish? It doesn't matter, his child is fine...
That's right, after being in society for so long, David is no longer surprised by the kind of underhanded matchmaking between Jews, not to mention, if those old men don't have these ideas, why would they suddenly Introduce a model?
No reason!
Besides, after seeing the photo sent by the other party, his eyes lit up—oh! This girl can!
It is precisely because of this mentality that David told Roland in advance—
"Your good thing has arrived."
Note: ① After Pete finished filming "The Burning Years", his film salary went up to 5 million. ②In the filming of "The Seven Deadly Sins", Fincher and Spacey shaved their heads together. ③The matter of Pete and Shuihou's falling in love was arranged by Finch, which he said himself. ⑤ It is written in the article that no one dared to use the name of Coppola to deceive in New York before the millennium, because after the filming of "The Godfather", Brando and Coppola had a very high reputation in the New York gangsters , the movie was filmed in Little Italy, New York, where the Gambino family lives. Gianni Russo, who plays Carlo, is a member of the Gambino family. The movie "The Godfather" was approved by the gang It was just filmed. After that, Coppola and Brando ate in Little Italy without bringing any money. This is not a random fabrication. When the Gambino family was smashed at the beginning of the millennium, our "Morning News" reported it, including the origin and development and the result of robbing Wall Street before being smashed, and the history of the other four gangs in New York. The issue of June 6, 2002. The relationship between Coppola and Paramount is not good, but Paramount couldn't replace him for this reason. People in the Gambino family thought he took good pictures. After the millennium, they were taken away, so Coppola Paula couldn't get the investment in an instant, so he stopped filming. Like Cameron, those who dare to shoot the table of the film industry giants have someone behind them who is not afraid of revenge.
