  Chapter 54 A Gentleman’s Birth Is Not Different, Good and False Are Better Than Things (Please recommend a ticket)

  From the beginning of taking the role in early June to the official end of all training courses in early September, in just 90 days, the relationship between Roland and Schwarzenegger has reached Cameron's expectations.

   No way, who makes the gym the easiest place to enhance the relationship of the same kind?

  Of course, the closed gym can't provide Roland with those beauties who specialize in leg training, and what he and Arnold discuss the most every day can't be these messy things, all of which are related to fitness, for example—

   "Oh...Roland, it's ok, the lines have come out..."

   "Arnold, help me see if this deltoid muscle is normal."

   "Roland, your posture is wrong. If you practice like you, your groin will be strained."

   "It's okay, I have a smart groin, it can adjust itself."

   Whenever Linda Hamilton and her sister Leslie heard the ambiguous conversation between Roland and Schwarzenegger, they would roll their eyes helplessly as they followed the process and completed the day's goals.

  Is the name of this gym called Legend of the Blind?

  Although the two sisters are not guys who rely on their appearance for a living, they are the only two opposite sexes in the gym anyway!

  In this case, the two of you just come to say hello every day, and then sit aside and practice passionately?

this…

  It's just...

  If Roland were to know their thoughts, he would definitely slander them secretly in his heart.

   Guys who can be photogenic are not actually ugly.

   But for Roland, fitness is actually more attractive.

  Why?

  Because after witnessing the process of Schwarzenegger teaching the Hamilton sisters, Roland immediately discovered a problem.

  Actresses are different from male actors. They can’t play water guns with a beer belly. For them, fitness is simply a daily life. In this case, what if Elizabeth needs it after many years?

   At that time, Roland, who studied under the Governor, will not be able to slam the table like Zhu Wushuang, shouting: 'Let me go! '?

  That's right, Roland is more concerned about his future than the present.

  Of course, it is impossible for the governor to be with Roland every day.

  After returning from the great desert, "Kindergarten Special Police" starring Schwarzenegger and Global Investment also entered the filming stage.

   It is already the greatest grace for the director to move the shooting schedule and meet Roland every week.

   Besides, Roland didn't have time to think about Schwarzenegger when he was not working out.

  Other teachers are more severe.

  They won't laugh and laugh with Roland like Schwarzenegger.

  Making Roland meet the standard on time and in quantity is the key to their salary.

   Besides studying, Roland also did a lot of things during these 90 days.

  For example, his agent Samantha took him to the Screen Actors Union and helped him go through all the procedures.

If Roland is still fighting alone now, then he can wait for "Home Alone" to be released before making a decision, but the problem is that the situation is different, because it doesn't matter whether it is "Captain Hook" or "Terminator 2". ", these are all items that have been reported to the trade union. Although Roland can also ignore the trade union, the consequence of doing so is asking for trouble.

  After all, Roland is not Woody Allen.

  Even if he does not have a union, the union will not dare to do anything to him.

   But a brat like Roland?

  In the absence of Spielberg's public admission, he, a guy who has reached the standard but does not join the union, is likely to be tripped up.

  Of course, joining a union also costs money.

  The membership fee of 1,500 knives almost made Roland call him a money grab.

Many people think that joining a trade union is equivalent to guaranteeing security, but for Roland, this statement has strong duality-only guys who go with the flow and go with the flow will think that the union will give themselves a voice, and like Spielberg What kind of problems can the trade union help such a real boss solve?

  Before the trade union makes a move, they have already finished talking about what should be taken or not.

  In addition to joining the trade union, Roland also went to the cinema to watch movies with Ganetti and the others in his spare time, paying attention to the summer box office market.

On June 1st, "Cosmic Veyron" starring Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone was officially released. During the traditional three-month screening period, the film scored 260 million in the global box office; Before that, Charles, who won "Captain Hook" and gave up "Terminator 2" to Roland, also had a work presented, that "Supreme Detective" cooperating with Warren Beatty, Al Pacino, and Madonna, in In three months, it has won a global box office of 160 million. Although this figure was smashed by the governor's work, its cost, after all, was only 47 million.

However, compared with "Cosmic Dragon" and "Supreme Detective", "Ghost Love" starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, which will be released on July 13, is the best summer movie. The biggest winner, with a cost of 22 million and a box office of 217 million in North America, directly made it the North American box office champion this year, and after getting the global box office prediction of over 500 million made by major analysis agencies Afterwards, many experts even asserted that "The Love of Ghosts" is the global title of this year.

  In their view, no movie has the ability to have an impact on it.

   "A love that transcends life and death and lasts until death is what many young people yearn for. The hug and kiss between Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore is definitely the most romantic love moment in the history of Hollywood movies."

   "This movie not only tells us a warm and romantic love story, but also presents us with an audio-visual feast. I like the song "Unchained Melody" and I love this story."

""Ghost Story" will be the best film of the year! Both Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg have the opportunity to hit the best actress and best supporting actress! In addition to the brilliant love, suspense and crime are also the same The highlight of the movie!"

  When Roland looked at the "Los Angeles Times" entertainment section, those film review writers spared no effort to write the praiseworthy words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Of course, he has narrated the movie "The Love of Ghosts", and the classic scene of the male and female protagonists playing clay has been imitated by later generations. The theme song "Unchained Melody" has been covered by major singers, and its influence is even greater. It is what made this film once hailed as the greatest love story in film history, until the unsinkable ship turned out.

However, even though this movie was described by the media as rare in the world, in 1990, it did not win the annual championship of the year. " trampled on fragments, and the proud global box office of 500 million was eclipsed by the Guinness World Record of 533 million.

  Of course, the history in memory is not the reason why Roland laughed.

  The closer and closer release time is not the key to Roland's excitement.

What really allowed him to deal with this news with a peaceful mind and firmly believed that he could emulate Macaulay-Culkin, beat "Ghosts" and even surpass him was not the repeated practice of more than 100 days in the time loop , nor the post-production good news revealed by Chris Columbus at the party before, but the invitation to the premiere of "Goodfellas" given by Joe Pesci, and—

   Arnold - Schwarzenegger's counterparts.

  In the previous life, who was the hot topic of publicity for "Home Alone"?

It is Joe Pesci who once again hit the Oscars with "Goodfellas", Daniel Stern, a well-known supporting actor who has been mixed in various movies, Chris Columbus, the screenwriter of "Little Monsters", and John Hugh, the master of American youth films. S...

  Yes, everyone can be a promotion point for the film, but only Macaulay Culkin can't.

   Even though Macaulay had already started acting when he was four years old, his popularity was almost zero before the movie was released.

If Roland only had the movie "Home Alone", and he didn't go to the audition for "Captain Hook" and didn't win the project of "Terminator 2", then his current situation would only be better than that of Macaulay So little.

  Fox may use "the child adopted by the parents of the Olsen sisters" to hype the popularity, but more often than not, Roland, who has no topicality, will be like Macaulay, an idler with nothing to do.

  But now, everything has changed.

  Why did Roland want to win the project of "Captain Hook" so desperately?

   Is it because he wants to hug Spielberg's thigh?

  Of course there are such thoughts, but the root cause is that he doesn't want to be a useless person.

  It’s useless here, naturally it’s from the publisher’s point of view.

  Actually, the actors don’t need to worry about the promotion and release of the film. Most of the time, they just need to cooperate with the distributor. As a film invested by Fox, it’s impossible for “Home Alone” to go online silently, but—

   This is just the most traditional way.

  Because if the actor really doesn’t have topicality, the publisher can’t do hype and publicity.

  Directly promote starring Roland Allen?

  Who is Roland Allen?

  The audience doesn't know each other, so they will just be beeping in confusion!

   Because of this, Roland wanted to find a way to create topics for himself.

  In later generations, the behind-the-scenes teams of many artists will set up various personalities for the artists.

  This kind of person setting is actually the content of each announcement, which creates a topic focus for external public opinion.

  However, such a thing as firing people requires a large number of trolls, and it was not applicable before the development of the Internet.

   Moreover, in this era, the publicity gimmicks of traditional media and the focus of fans from all walks of life are still excellent works.

  That's why Roland desperately wanted to catch the other party after learning about the project "Captain Hook".

  Because, future works are also the capital of publicity!

   Everyone does not know who Roland Allen is, but they know Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron!

   Roland Allen, who starred in "Home Alone", was a young actor personally selected by James Cameron?

  He will cooperate with Arnold Schwarzenegger to co-star in "Terminator 2"?

  The two of them attended the premiere of "Goodfellas" together?

   In this way, the topic and popularity will come out?

To put it bluntly, the topic of the governor and the truck driver can already hammer the entire "Home Alone" crew, and this is also the key to Roland's hope that the governor can attend the premiere of "Goodfellas" with him .

  For the governor, this is an opportunity to hook up with the Jewish gang.

  For Roland, this is an opportunity to step down all actors of the same age.

  Schwarzenegger wants to pave the way for his official career, and the crew of "Terminator 2" dare to bet on the later announcement.

  Roland would naturally not treat himself badly.

  A gentleman is not born differently, and he is good at what is false.

  He still understands this sentence.

  As for how to realize the topic degree?

  That kind of thing is out of Roland's control.

  He believes that the professionals at Fox will come up with countless ways to turn the topic he sent himself into a beautiful knife.

  He believes that no matter whether it is the investor Fox, Cameron, or Spielberg, they will all fall in love with him.

after all-

  He has a sense of humor.

  He will not be full of art like those young people.

  He knows what makes these big shots stand in Hollywood.

   Is it one of those bursts of inspiration that will go down in the history books?

No.

   is the box office loved by all capital.

   is the green Franklin.

   is money.

  ...

After the training session came to an end, Roland quietly waited for the arrival of September 18 amidst the "Desert Shield" broadcast on the TV news. Wearing a bow tie, when he appeared in front of Schwarzenegger, the other party's gray suit and black tie immediately made Roland laugh.

   "To be honest, I think you look better in a jacket." Roland commented solemnly with a straight face.

   "If it weren't for the fear of grabbing headlines, I would prefer to wear short sleeves on the red carpet." The governor rolled his eyes and raised his hand to unbutton his coat.

   "Oh! Come on! Since you are here, you will definitely be on the headlines tomorrow." Roland looked at each other with a smile, and while he was talking, the two entered the elevator.

"Aren't you the same? Why, are you afraid that the heat is not enough, so why don't I carry you away later?" Schwarzenegger tilted his head slightly, looked down at Roland from a high position, and at the same time showed his two eyes with a smile. Row of white teeth.

   The words, big or small, made the two happy. If Cameron was here, he would definitely be happy for the relationship between the two.

   But for them, these words are just a way to decompress.

  Because they took the same flight together from Los Angeles to New York.

  They took the same car and lived in the same hotel on the same floor directly opposite the door.

   Later, they have to appear at the same time.

   Regardless of what should be said or what should not be said, both of them are already on the way, and it is over.

"nervous?"

   When the two walked out of the hotel and sat in the extended Lincoln limousine, Schwarzenegger looked at the kid next to him with concern.

   Facing his question, Roland, who was silent for a long while, responded with a shrug.

nervous?

certainly.

  How could he not be nervous?

  Because he knew in his heart that the moment he got off the car, the comfort before would be gone.

  As the signboard of the theater gets closer and closer, and the voices of people jump in his ears, the real Hollywood will also open the door for him.

"arrive…"

  As the vehicle stopped, Roland whispered in response.

   And just as Schwarzenegger nodded slightly, the door on his side was also pulled open by the staff.

The shocking scream pierced into the eardrums, and Roland turned his head and smiled at the other party. After Get got his thoughts, the governor, who was already holding a mutually beneficial mentality, did not hesitate to get out of the car. At the same time, he did not stand up. He decided to wave, but walked quickly to Roland's side, and opened the car door for him—

  Looking at the big rough hand covered with calluses, Roland happily held it.

   And when Roland jumped out of the car with Schwarzenegger's help...

  The surging sound waves completely drowned him.

   'Hollywood, here I come...'

   Roland muttered a sentence in his heart, and then he stood with Schwarzenegger with a smile that he had trained for a long time.

   Note: ① There are standards for joining a union project. If you are acting as a leading actor in a union project, you can meet the standard after signing a contract for one day. The union is useless to Roland, but it is actually not as bad as I wrote, because the projects reported by the union must use a certain number of union actors, and they also have insurance, but the insurance The premise is that the annual working hours or remuneration reaches a certain level to take effect. Of course, the biggest role of the trade union is to judge awards. If you don’t work with the union, the Oscars will not even be nominated. People who don't even take it, really big boss.
