Chapter 53 Win-Win (recommendation ticket requested)
Cultivating a relationship is actually a very vague concept, especially after both parties know this motive, it will be very awkward when everything starts to unfold.
Because when this idea lingers in the chest, the process of having to go in order to achieve the goal will be an insurmountable gap, which will make both parties feel that their behavior is too deliberate.
Therefore, when Schwarzenegger uttered the name Linda Hamilton, there was an instant silence in the already empty gym. Roland, who wanted to pass the time by exercising, didn't know how to answer the question, and Arnold didn't know how to answer the question. know how to explain.
The scene of wide-eyed and small-eyed eyes makes both parties very uncomfortable.
Looking at the governor in front of him who frowned slightly, as if he wanted to have an awkward chat with him, Roland also understood why many people in later generations said that Star-Lord and the governor's daughter are very suitable.
Probably because when the governor didn't know what to say, Star-Lord could jump on a paragraph to ease the atmosphere with the old man.
Of course, the situation of being in a daze face to face did not last for too long.
Because Linda Hamilton showed up shortly after the governor said his name.
The two had a basis for cooperation before, and when they met again, they became acquainted very quickly.
After chatting for a while, under Linda's suggestion, everyone went straight to the topic.
The difference from Roland is that Linda, who plays in the movie, has to receive formal physical training.
Not to mention anything else, the arm muscles must be able to perform, pull-ups must be able to support.
While Schwarzenegger was instructing the other party, there was another person who was also practicing with Linda.
That person is of course not Roland, but Linda's sister Leslie.
Yes, many people think that the T-1000 in "Terminator 2" is simply a film killer, because his mimicry ability will make shooting extremely complicated and make the post-production staff bald.
Many people even suspected that at that time, the special effects team responsible for the mimetic changes in "Terminator 2" would resign directly, just like the special effects artist who did Shen Gongbao's face change, and then changed jobs, and then received the project again in the new company.
But in fact, the transformation of T-1000 in the movie is all exquisite and not so exaggerated.
Because, including the heroine, all the characters that need to appear at the same time are actually twins.
Why use special effects to make two Sarah Conners?
Linda already has a twin sister, so why don't I just ask her to act?
For other characters, twins are chosen when casting.
Signing twins to act is much cheaper than filming two scenes by one person, and then editing and splicing them later!
Yes, James - Cameron is not a pure money shredder.
He also knows how to cut costs.
It's just that every time, the cost he cut will be doubled on various weird lists.
Of course, for many actors, the cost-cutting actions of Cameron and the like are actually providing themselves with jobs. After all, twins are not easy to mix in Hollywood.
Compared with many auditions that go through the process, special actors like twins are more discriminated against.
No director will deliberately promote a pair of twins, and no producer is even willing to sign the twins as the protagonist, because for the capital, this is a loss-making transaction-the sister is popular, and the younger sister is angry, so what should I do? What?
They have the same appearance, how to sign the contract, how to do the publicity?
Face is unchanged, but because of the hidden value generated by face, the risk of public opinion is inestimable.
It is precisely because she knew that her film contract was hard-won, so when Linda got the long fitness training plan, she did not have the same concerns as Roland, and when the two sisters got off the horizontal bar in sweat, At that moment, Arnold, who had already pulled himself out of embarrassment, looked at Roland and asked, "Would you like to try it?"
"The horizontal bar will not affect your physical development, but it will also make you grow taller."
Starting with the topic of fitness and drawing in the relationship between the two parties was originally Cameron's idea.
It's just that the governor preemptively explained a wave, which made the two of the showdown feel embarrassed.
After returning to the theme, of course Roland would not foolishly reject the other party.
Schwarzenegger personally came down to teach, this kind of opportunity is rare.
Even if Roland doesn't need to exercise now, he will have a good relationship with him.
No one knows if the other party will be used in the future!
One day in the future, when Roland needs to gain muscle, calling the governor is safer than going to New York to find Billy Herrington, right?
After all, no one wants to hear some strange sounds while exercising.
Of course, Roland's fitness arrangements are not as many as Linda's.
Under the governor's guidance, he did some basic sports.
After he finished practicing with Linda, he realized what Lian Po meant by "success comes at a price."
No one can become famous in one fell swoop with an attitude of enjoying life, more people only see the enjoyment of those big-name stars after their success, but not the madness before they became famous—
When the governor completed his training plan group after group in front of him, the almost masochistic training made him see that the other party wanted to join the older children and play more advanced games determination.
Marriage may be the boost to the governor's success, but his persistence day after day is the root of his success.
Of course, pure fitness only lasted for a week.
It seemed that he wanted to establish a relationship with Spielberg earlier. When Schwarzenegger found that after a period of adaptive training, Roland was able to complete the courses he assigned every day, he proposed to go to Sony's studio to watch it. Take a look, and surprise Cameron, who was watching, and let him review the training results.
This kind of playfulness was exactly what Roland wanted. The two hit it off, took a simple shower, and went straight to the set.
However, when they arrived, they realized that the truck driver didn't come today.
"James went to the great desert in western Arizona. He used Steven's relationship to get a decommissioned M61A1 from the Army. I heard that it was directly dismantled from the helicopter."
"In his words, it was 'I'm going to touch that big guy before I shoot'."
Yes, this is what Roland just said, the weird list.
In order to save money on special effects, Cameron can save money by hiring twin actors.
However, before the money was warmed up by the producer, it was used by the other party to buy Gatling.
In the "Terminator 2" movie, Gatlin played by the governor is true.
Not only that, but it is also equipped with a Gatling helicopter, with a rate of fire of 6,000 rounds per minute.
It’s no exaggeration to say that even if it’s a blank shot, after this minute, the salary of a pair of twins will have to be burned.
If you NG several times, it is not much different from directly doing fire effects.
"Unfortunately, he's not here..." Hearing the news, Roland sighed regretfully.
Compared with Schwarzenegger, the person he wants to contact more is naturally the tyrant.
If possible, in the three months before the shooting, of course, he can meet with the other party a few times, just meet the other party a few times.
but-
It all depends on the sky.
However, just when Roland felt that this matter was over.
After asking the staff about the cause and effect, the governor smiled and said, "Are you interested in coming with me?"
"Where are you going?" Roland didn't respond for a while.
"Of course it's going to the Great Desert!" The governor bent down, leaned into the car, took out a map, and said to Roland: "Arizona is next to California, regardless of the distance, but we don't need to go on the 10th. road, but fly over."
"From Los Angeles to Phoenix, an hour and a half at most."
"Then we are renting a car and driving to the desert. We will see James at noon tomorrow at the latest."
"I don't know if you are interested, but I know that if James sees the two of us, he will definitely be interested."
Fly directly there?
This idea seems to be pretty good!
Don't hesitate, just do it when you think about it.
Roland asked his assistant for a mobile phone and called David. When the other party learned that Roland and Schwarzenegger were going to find James, the guy agreed to his travel plan without saying a word, not only that , He also asked the assistant who was next to Roland to ask him to pay by card, and ask him to reimburse all the expenses when he came back.
"Why, is there a lot of money?"
"I have a card, and 30% of the early stage salary has been paid, and I can pay it."
"The air ticket from Los Angeles to Phoenix is less than a hundred dollars?"
"Even if you take the accommodation and other things together, it won't cost much if we stay there for a few days?"
When Roland approached the assistant and asked in a low voice about his doubts, Schwarzenegger, who had been observing him, squatted down, put his hand on Roland's shoulder, and pointed to the set of the crew not far away: "Look at these weapons in our crew."
"Shotguns, rifles, all of these, and they can all be played in California."
"But Gatling is different. Those things can only be played in the great desert of Arizona."
"The Great Desert is the largest machine gun shooting range in America. You can shoot AN-M3, Bren light machine guns, and Barretts there, but the bullets are a bit expensive. 7.62 ammunition costs three knives each..."
"If you are playing Gatling, it is calculated at 2,000 rounds per minute. If you play for one minute, 6,000 knives will be gone."
Roland stopped talking.
He was so scared that he almost lost his shape!
Six thousand dollars a minute?
Ten minutes directly knocked out my salary for a movie?
Is this special code playing with guns or money!
Why does it feel more terrifying than coin-operated group strikes!
When the next tax filing season needs to be filed, he gets 30% of the film salary, but it is 24,000 knives.
If the 24,000 knives were given to Mohamy, the other party would be able to create a game, but if they were placed in the shooting range of the Great Desert, they could only shoot 8,000 rounds of bullets? Cool for four minutes?
Is your bullet studded with diamonds?
I can't afford it, I can't afford it, let me leave.
When Roland heard the price quoted by Schwarzenegger, he just kept silent.
Let the assistant book tickets and rooms, and he doesn't care about anything else.
It's really not that he's stingy.
But he really has no money.
As for eating David, wearing David, and using David?
I will pay back slowly in the future.
If David refuses to accept it, he will forcibly return it to his daughter.
When Roland followed Schwarzenegger staggeringly and came to the great desert ten miles northeast of Waikiupu, the deafening gunshots, like a firecracker, rang non-stop.
Since Cameron had already received a call from the crew, when Roland and Schwarzenegger appeared in front of him, the guy wearing noise-canceling headphones not only had no accidents, but happily stepped forward and hugged them one time.
"Arnold, I originally wanted to let you come over to try the gun after your training is over."
"Oh, James, isn't that a waste of time?" Schwarzenegger said with a smile: "When Roland and I found out that you came to play with guns alone, we just bought tickets and flew over; right, Roland?"
"That's right, Arnold said, I can't let you enjoy it secretly by yourself."
When Roland imitated Schwarzenegger's tone and described Cameron as a "Grandet" who hoarded money and stingy rewards, the truck driver wearing goggles suddenly laughed, and he didn't care about the relationship between the two. He laughed and said, but said loudly: "It seems that your relationship is progressing well? After training together, the effect is still there, right? Alright, since you are here, don't say too much, come try the gun , if there is no problem, I will let them pull these things back."
As the governor said before, James, who had hoped that they could get along with each other, found that the two joined forces and made a joke of himself. The mood of the tyrant suddenly became very good.
Compared to the guy who pestered Spielberg and asked for the screenwriter's status before, Cameron now smiles like a child.
At this moment, he didn't hold the two responsible for disrupting the schedule and changing the itinerary at will.
Because, the acquaintance of two people is beneficial to filming!
No matter how much money he burns, how much he curses, how much he roars, how crazy he is, doesn’t he hope to make a good movie? As long as the final result can satisfy him, he—
It is not necessary to pursue the process.
As for inviting the duo to play Gatling?
As long as everyone's relationship can be improved, he won't mind even if all the expenses are put on the crew.
What? You mean investors?
The money is in Cameron’s pocket, and you investors still want to get it back?
However, just before Roland approached Gatling and wanted to try this big guy with his own hands, he looked at it for a while, and suddenly found a very serious problem, "Uh... where is the trigger for this gun?"
Hearing Roland's question, the scene fell into a dead silence. After a few seconds, everyone including Cameron burst into laughter, "Roland, you reported the model of the gun to me in a serious manner that day."
"I thought you really understood these things..."
"I didn't expect that you only knew the model number, but didn't know how to use it?"
"This M61A1 is electric drive, unplug the switch, press and hold the button to ignite."
Hearing what James said, Roland blushed suddenly.
If he hadn't been thick-skinned, he would have gone underground.
It's not fun to be exposed by Cameron on the spot.
But even so, he suppressed his smile, followed Cameron's instructions, and pressed the ignition button.
When he saw with his own eyes that the blue flame was released after a few seconds from the gun barrel that had idling a few times, the rattling sound matched with the bullets raining down, the spontaneous feeling of comfort made Roland extremely excited.
And when I think of it, after I press this button, every second is a green Franklin —
He's even happier!
because-
It’s not his own money that’s playing special codes!
After playing in the great desert of Arizona for three days, the refreshed Roland returned to Los Angeles with the crew.
In three days, he played with all the guns in the desert.
If it wasn’t for Cameron discovering that there was a tracer launcher on his bill and almost stabbing him with a knife, Roland—
Maybe it won't stop yet.
After returning home, Roland also specifically described Gatlin's touch with James Olson.
When he expanded the process of less than 30 seconds, he described the feeling of having no experience in a hype.
James looked straight at his eyes, "Fuck! Roland! Are we still brothers! Why don't you take me with you!"
"Who kicked me out of the house last time? Didn't I just hug your sister and tell a story?" Roland crossed his legs and asked foolishly.
Although Roland's appearance really deserves a beating, James still persuaded him...
"Oops... brother... brother... it's my fault..."
"You can communicate with them how you want to communicate with them in the future."
"I just have one request."
"The next time your crew is filming, you must take me to see, M61A1 and Schwarzenegger! I have long wanted to meet!"
Roland fully accepted James' confession.
Of course, taking the other party to the set, of course, can be fooled as much as you can.
In the following time, in addition to following the course training, Roland also went to the governor's house as a guest.
When he learned that the governor's wife liked the Olsen sisters very much and wanted to meet her...
This friendship naturally unfolded.
Inviting the Schwarzeneggers and friends from the "Home Alone" crew to the house party not only met James' needs, but also made David very happy.
Because, the Peace Group and the Special Olympics behind Maria are the most intuitive forces.
Although David’s real estate business has nothing to do with Washington, but—
What if?
It is no exaggeration to say that all the investment David made for Roland has already paid off at this moment.
How to deal with the relationship next is David's own business.
Of course, in addition to David, Schwarzenegger is also very happy.
Not only because he saw Chris Columbus, Joe Pesci and other core members of the Jewish gang at the family gathering at Olsen’s house, but also because Joe Pesci sent Roland an invitation.
One of the premiere of the movie "Goodfellas" held in New York on September 18, 1990.
If it's just an invitation, maybe it's nothing.
But if he helps the Olsen couple take care of their children, the governor, who has been temporarily promoted to be Roland's dad, will naturally be willing to do it for him.
"Arnold, since they don't have time, why don't you take me there?"
Roland pushed the invitation in front of Schwarzenegger, tilting his head and asking.
Looking at the exquisite envelope marked with complicated patterns, Schwarzenegger laughed.
Although he didn't see Spielberg during this time, it doesn't matter.
Because Martin Scorsese, the director of "Goodfellas", is also one of the Big Four of the Jewish Gang...
"No problem, more than happy."
After picking up the envelope and looking at it for a few seconds, Schwarzenegger showed a signature smile at Roland.
Because for him, his investment has also begun to bear fruit.
Note: ①In "Terminator 2", the actors whose bodies were simulated by T-1000 basically did not use computer stunts. Including the heroine Linda, the policemen killed by T-1000 in the hospital were all twins. Because it saves money. ②The Vulcan machine gun in the movie is real, and, in order to look more cool, they changed the rate of fire from 6,000 rounds per minute to 2,000 rounds, so that the fire looks bigger. ③The great desert in Arizona is real. There is indeed a shooting range there, and you can indeed play with machine guns, and the cheapest bullet is 3 dollars, but the time for free shooting is April and October every year, especially The event is limited to 72 hours (information comes from the YouTube video of Brother North America). ④ It is not an exaggeration to develop games with more than 20,000 dollars in 1990. When Mohamy first started his business, he made a "RPM Racing" with his team for 40,000 dollars in four months. ⑤ The father of the governor’s wife, Maria, is the founder of the Peace Group. Because they founded the Special Olympics, the honorary president, the CEO, and the president of the board of directors are all from their family. Not only that, her father, Also worked as a president.
