Chapter 83 Otaku's World and Cole-Nedham's Childhood Wishes
Jon is a costumer for the crew. She is pretty, but her figure is the same as most of the American people. She is relatively stocky. After graduating from high school, she wanted to develop in Hollywood and New York with dreams, but unfortunately, she hit the wall one after another. So I had no choice but to go back to a community college, relying on my family's support and the experience of running errands for no money in a Hollywood crew, and the costume major that didn't even require the SAT, I successfully got a position as a costume assistant for a crew.
Of course, it is said to be an assistant, but it is actually a handyman in charge of clothing maintenance.
After all, the Hollywood production crew is different from those entertainment circles in Xiangjiang, how can one wear a set of costumes for more than ten or twenty years?
Stop dreaming, okay!
The film crew is rich, so things like Fu Hua Dao are naturally built into it with all their might.
And how to maintain the clothing during shooting and how to satisfy those big names has become Jon's job.
Although this job is a bit far away from the dream of the year, it is still in the crew after all!
Even if you don’t get the opportunity to be photographed, it’s still no problem to make a living.
After a few years of mixing, even though Jon is still full of interest in the performing arts industry, the idea of becoming an actor was ultimately defeated by the pain of weight loss. After repositioning, long-term stay in the group became her goal. After achieving her goal and having a stable source of income, sharing what she sees and hears at work has become a part of her life.
The reason why the vast majority of people want to be stars is not for fame and fortune?
Since he can't become a much-anticipated actor, spreading the news of the crew has become the biggest source of satisfaction for Jon.
Of course, in order to keep her job, it is impossible for her to disclose the news to those tabloids. In this way, the news discussion group she joined in 1988 became the main channel for her to gain attention.
After taking a photo of Roland taking over the baton guide tube, presiding over the shooting, and Spielberg crossing his legs, leaning against the monitor to take charge of the gate, Jon returned home and immediately opened the Windows 3.0 operating system. Computer, excitedly posted a post in the motherboard discussion area—
【The latest news from the crew of "Captain Hook"! 】
In this era when computers are still a luxury and the number of Internet users only accounts for 1.5% of the population of America, there is no such thing as a headline party or a shocking society. No surprise what Gu Tianle meant, but the honest netizens still clicked in.
The guys who can hang around here are all movie fans. When they found out that the person who posted the post was actually a guy who often broke the inside story of the Hollywood crew, a series of comments immediately appeared under the title.
‘Oh! Jon, it's finally your turn! Tell me, what is Steven's "Captain Hook" about? '
'Yeah! Who played Peter Pan? What kind of roles do Robin and Dustin play in the movie? '
‘Don’t say those other things! Tell me about Julia Mei? Can you send me a photo of Julia on set? '
'Julia! Julia! Jon, what you broke the news today must be related to her, right? '
When a series of inquiries related to Julia Roberts appeared on the page, Jon, who was typing on the keyboard and thinking about how to write today's knowledge, suddenly had countless black lines on his head.
Special code, these are a group of nerds!
There are so many big names in the crew of "Captain Hook", regardless of whether it is the great director Spielberg, or the two leading actors Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman, these are the points that can be paid attention to. ?
You don’t desperately ask them for news, why do you have to pay attention to an actress who has just become popular?
Although Julia Roberts moved the world with "Pretty Woman" last year and successfully won a global box office of 463 million in the North American box office of 178 million, Roland, who made his debut with "Home Alone" - Allen got better grades!
Not only that, but he is also so cute, his attitude in the crew is also extremely kind, and he is very eager to learn. If you don’t discuss such a guy with grades, attitude and morals in front of you, what’s the point of talking about it?
I really don't understand!
With a heart full of old troughs, Jon directly deleted the sentence he had coded up, and strengthened the main body of this revelation to the eager audience...
‘Today we are talking about Roland Allen and Steven Spielberg. This is definitely a breaking news that can shock the whole country! '
However, after she uttered this sentence, the speed of the Internet, like a snail crawling, directly made her feel a kind of isolation from the world. After waiting for more than three minutes, the words below her words appeared A few sporadic replies.
‘Roland Allen and Steven Spielberg? What are the two men talking about! Show us Julia Roberts, please! We want to see her fairy costume! '
'Yeah! We want to see little fairies! '
'Although "Home Alone" is a very good Christmas comedy, Roland Allen is also very good in it, but I still want to see Julia Roberts, Jon, you said you were in the crew dresser? Then you can take photos of her wearing makeup, and you can pay for it! Mail to pay! '
have to…
After seeing such a reply, as Roland Allen's sister fan, Jon was almost **** off.
When "Home Alone" was on the air, Roland Allen's popularity was at the top of the news group's page rankings. At the time, she thought that these nerds actually liked boys, but she didn't realize it. In June, Julia Roberts has replaced Michelle Pfeiffer as their favorite?
hehe…
Men are really eels.
But there is no way, who made the network environment of this era like this?
Guys who can afford computers, systems, and network cables are, after all, a minority.
The majority of those who need computers are men.
Under such circumstances, even if the guys who hang out on the Internet have the same stink, it's because of the vast majority of female star fans!
A beautiful female celebrity may make two male netizens who have never met before discuss heatedly, but if it is a guy like Roland Allen who takes the child and family route, it is impossible to be so attractive.
In this way, even if the news in Jon's hands explodes abnormally, and everything she described in the newsgroup is even more appalling, but for those nervous 'dead fat houses', these inside information are at most movie anecdotes Forget it, it belongs to the behind-the-scenes tidbits that were exposed in advance. Most of the time, just look at the picture and have a good time. Want to start a discussion?
That's a dream!
This is the problem of inappropriate news. If Jon handed over the photos to the media, that night, there would be a series of discussions about the ambiguous relationship between Roland and Spielberg. The relationship will be on the headlines of the major media. The topic of supernova Roland taking over Spielberg will definitely make the publisher of "Terminator 2" fall in love with this handsome kid who can create explosive topics, but...
Of course, it’s not appropriate to say that.
When Jon's revelation was completely suppressed by Julia Roberts, who was in demand by netizens, Cole Needham, the director of the newsgroup's movie database, saw this revelation, and for a person who is keen on collecting all kinds of movie information For some people, this revelation is quite interesting, and in order to verify the authenticity, he directly left a bunch of unexpected and excited words on the discussion page. He hoped that the whistleblower named Jon would , able to provide more information to itself.
'oh! Jon! I'm a big fan of Steven and Roland, so excited to see your revelations on the newsgroups! Can you tell me what happened in the end? Did Steven really let Roland run the guide again? Can Roland Allen really know how to film? Did he shoot well? '
This passage is what Jon most wishes to see!
When she was depressed, she found out that someone had the same preferences and tastes as herself, that kind of behavior that was deeply shocked at first, and then excited, directly turned her into a ruthless code word girl!
'Yes, yes, Steven really asked Roland to direct the tube again, and now he is filming the children's scenes in the crew! '
"Roland really knows how to film, but no media has reported about it. The news about him has already gone crazy in our circle. Almost everyone knows that he is a student of Robert Zemeckis. He was filming before. When "Home Alone", Chris Columbus taught him how to act and how to shoot, and when he filmed "Terminator 2" later, James Cameron also taught him film skills in person. After entering "Captain Hook" After the film crew, he said he was a cameo, but after two days of filming, Steven Spielberg asked him to touch the camera. Although I haven’t seen the filming effect, since I can keep filming, it must be no problem Yes, and his attitude in the crew is really super good, anyone who greets him will pay attention...'
When Jon shared his long-suffocated joy with Cole Needham like peas in a bamboo tube, Cole Needham, who was far away in England, became even more excited. After several times, he was thinking about how to get real hammer information from the other party's hands—
After all, things like words are too deceptive, right?
If you send me a photo by email, maybe I will believe you?
However, for his behavior of asking for a real hammer, Jon decisively refused.
It doesn't matter which crew you join, things like confidentiality agreements will be signed, and it is already considered a violation to say these things in a barren place where the media cannot reach the public, but in this era, it is impossible for the media to break the news in the news group community. As news, even if someone finds out, it won't have much impact.
As for the photos... this is her treasure!
Besides, she actually pointed to those words and broke the news to get enough attention to make her feel happy physically and mentally!
other?
forget it…
This is like Winona Ryder who is used to stealing, Nicole Kidman who carries sheets and quilts with her, and John Travolta who flies at home when nothing happens.
But even so, she knew where the speed was—
It's enough to be cool in the extra-legal place of the online community, if she leaves solid evidence, she will definitely not be able to eat it and walk around!
In this way, if she found out that something was wrong, she immediately disappeared.
As Jon's vigilance disappeared, Cole Needham, who hadn't received a reply for a long time, felt a little regretful.
Sitting at home, he knocked on the table helplessly, regretting his eagerness for quick success.
To be honest, unlike those guys who only come here for female stars, and those guys who browse materials because of the human instinct of voyeurism, Cole Needham really likes movies.
Growing up on movie tapes since he was a child, he really wanted to know how credible Jon's revelations were.
If there is a real hammer, even if those nerds are not interested, he will immediately update his database.
But now—
All the whistleblowers ran away, and he still wrote a fart!
If God could give him another chance, Cole Needham believed that he would never be so reckless.
At least-
I have to wait until I get more Spielberg information!
Yes, Home Alone was a really good Christmas comedy for Cole Needham, and Roland Allen was pretty funny, but with Spielberg, he would definitely choose the latter...
"Hey... too urgent, too urgent..."
"Scared Jon away this time, I guess I won't be able to see him next time..."
"You said I have to ask him what evidence he wants? Ask more about Spielberg, okay?"
"If it doesn't work, just read more about his portrayal of Roland Allen!"
"Anyway, it's all collected data, just verify it slowly in the future!"
However, just when Cole Needham sighed and opened his own database, wanting to add Jon's breaking news and mark it as unconfirmed, he saw that in the database, he was the maintainer of the Roland Allen page. , suddenly remembered one thing.
its not right!
Isn’t Mike Mohamy, who sent an email, hoping that I would make the database public online, know Roland Allen?
Since he knows Roland Allen, and the guy named Jon said that Roland and Spielberg have a very good relationship, then I can meet Spielberg through this programmer friend?
Thinking of this, Cole Needham decisively ignored the time difference and sent an email to Mike Mohamy.
He felt that his childhood dream was about to come true.
If you can really see Spielberg through the movie database, then his obsession for so many years will be rewarded...
However, he didn't know that when he pressed the send button, used the Internet, and cast his hope to Mohamy, that Mike Mohamy, who had been struggling day and night for nearly four months, had just returned from the lease. I crawled out of the office I came to...
Note: ①Michelle Pfeiffer is the Catwoman in Tim Burton's version of "Batman". Killed by Big Mouth Roberts. ②The guys in Hollywood basically have hobbies. John Travolta is the hero of "Pulp Fiction". He has many planes at home, and he also has different pilot licenses. He likes to fly planes when he has nothing to do. ③The founder of IMDb, Cole Needham, said why he collected these materials on the 25th anniversary. When he was five years old, he won a newspaper coloring competition. His grandmother rewarded him and showed him The first movie in his life, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", he just thought this cartoon was very interesting, but when he saw "Jaws" when he was eight years old, he was scared by this movie When he arrived, he didn't dare to look at the sea or swim. The overlap and similarity between the sense of reality and the sense of unreality produced the attraction of the movie, which made him want to know the director and the movie, so he read the The 'printed movie guide' back then, but there was no Spielberg on it (because he had just become famous), so he started to collect information himself.
ps, I mistyped the chapter number again.
