MTL - Once Upon a Time In Hollywood-Chapter 78 The last three child stars and Roland's taste
Chapter 78 The three child stars who came to the end and Roland's taste
No matter where they are, child stars will always be the cruelest existence in the entertainment industry.
High starting point does not mean unlimited scenery.
Although each child star grows up with different life experiences, those with a background sit firmly in the resource bar, while those without a background either disappear into obscurity or struggle for years to tear off the label of a child star on themselves, but when they were young, everyone’s The starting point is similar, the guy who can be famous has only one characteristic, and that is cuteness.
Of course, being cute doesn't mean that you have high requirements for the appearance of child stars, but that in front of the camera, these guys' performances can make people's eyes shine, whether it's that they think they are good-looking, or that they have aura in their eyes, or that they Antics and laughs, all of which are cute—lovable, endearing, and beloved.
Just like the Olsen sisters in Roland's current family, the American people think they are cute.
So they became popular.
Unreasonable fire.
The same goes for Demi Lovato, the little Disney princess. "Camp Rock", "Sonny Star Dreams", and "Princess Protection Plan", these youth films have captured her countless fans. Not only that, Disney even included it in " The opportunity to sing "Let It Go" in the official music tape of "Frozen" is left to her. Her resources and cute blessings have made her famous.
but-
What defeats most child stars is not that they don't work hard, but life.
When the child stars began to grow up and a watershed appeared in their lives, the first thing that caused their fate to diverge was their faces.
If you want to continue to mix in this industry, the most important thing is not to look crooked, and to have an online appearance.
And this, in fact, is God's reward for eating.
There are many guys who are cute when they are young, but they are disabled when they grow up.
Like Hashimoto Ai, from the most beautiful girl to Zashiki Doji.
Like Morgan Lily in "Thumping Heart", the whole person is stretched horizontally.
Like Suzuki Apricot, she had an outstanding temperament when she was a child, but in "Initial D", her face is even bigger than Jay Chou.
These are typical examples of God not rewarding food.
After all, Emma Watson is too rare, and the development trajectory of more child stars, just like Daniel Radcliffe, continues to expand.
Of course, after getting through the watershed of appearance, the second point that makes their fate diverge is fame and fortune.
Like the lines in the Japanese drama "LEGALHIGH"—
"A child star is a consumable with the shortest shelf life. After the glory is over, the next stage of life is about to begin."
No matter what kind of halo you have at the beginning, you can't lose yourself.
If you have been obsessed with the aura of fame and fortune and lost yourself, you can only be burned by the light.
Disney's little princess Demi Lovato is a typical example; Lindsay Lohan, who has gained fame and fortune with "Born Together" and "Mean Girls", is a negative representative; "Seventeen Again", "High School Musical" Zac Efron in the movie has been fighting against himself; and Miley Cyrus, who is famous for the TV series "Hannah Montana", has lived a double-sided life. She and Brother Hammer's younger brother Leah The ten-year emotional entanglement of separation and reunion finally came to an official end in August 2019.
Zhang Ailing once said: "Be famous as early as possible."
But how many people can go on the road of becoming famous as soon as possible?
Just the first two watersheds alone can wipe out more than 99% of the guys.
And even if there are people who are not permanently disabled and have been promoted to the altar, they can face fame and fortune with a normal heart, even if they have resources to protect themselves, but in the end they can climb to the top. Business Awards Double Blooming…
Not even one.
The closest one is Jodie Foster. She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "Taxi Driver" at the age of fourteen. "The Lamb", won two actress trophies in three consecutive years, and in 1999 when he starred in "Anna and the King" with Fa Ge, he even took away 15 million film remuneration.
Next, it is Natalie Portman who debuted in "This Killer Is Not So Cold".
Of course, if Xiao Lizi, who acted in a TV series at the age of five and started filming commercials at the age of fourteen, is considered a child actor.
Then he is the only guy who can go from a child star to a god.
And when you look through their resumes, you will be surprised to find that Jodie Foster is actually a member of the Jewish Gang, Martin Scorsese is her mentor, and Natalie Portman has a good Mom, after "This Killer Is Not So Cold", you can help your daughter seize projects such as "Heat" and "Everyone Says I Love You", which are completely controlled by the Jewish gang, and let her successfully walk to Lucas In front of him, and Xiao Lizi even smashed the tyrant and the Jewish gang.
Not only that, but what can make them completely get rid of their child star status is either a popular movie or a monster of word of mouth.
"The Silence of the Lambs", "Star Wars Episode II" trilogy, "Titanic"…
The transformation works of these 'child stars' are all special codes, and they are all the top projects in the film history.
And their existence is even rarer than SSR.
Without the luck blessing of these projects, most of the child stars, like the Olsen sisters, would face the embarrassing situation of repeating their own ways and gradually losing popularity with the audience—
Even Shirley Temple is unavoidable.
Even though she has long been hailed as a legend, but she missed "The Wizard of Oz", she can only take the initiative to withdraw from the circle.
Therefore, how to transition from a child to an adult is the problem that Roland needs to face after filming "Home Alone" and "Terminator 2". A Home Alone 2 sequel is more important than some Francis Coppola and Martin Scorsese scribbles, of course—provided he doesn't die.
Of course, if Cameron still yelled at him after he was late, then he would definitely not think about these things, and now, the little spider who grew up from a high school student to a superhero is the most suitable Has his IP gone?
As the first brother of Marvel, his personal publication was released thirty years later than Superman and Batman, but his total sales, before Roland crossed, had reached the third level in the history of American comics. The guy with the highest merchandise sales.
In the 2018 World IP Value Rankings, Spider-Man overwhelmed the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ranking eighth. The only comic character above him was the Lord.
Many people like him because they can see themselves in him. Not only that, he is still the C position on the commemorative badge for the 75th anniversary of Marvel.
With such an IP, what else does he need to find "The Silence of the Lambs"?
He is already eleven years old, only five years away from his age in the comics.
As long as Cameron continues to work with Schwarzenegger on "True Lies" after the release of "Terminator 2", the role of the little spider controlled by the truck driver cannot fall on someone else.
As for boarding that big boat before Xiao Lizi?
Don't be kidding, the gap between him and Jack in the script is too big. As a movie that started filming in 1995, the ship can't wait for Roland to grow up, and Roland will not use the age of fifteen to destroy classics. .
Since there are better and more suitable projects for him, Roland, who can confront Cameron, does not need to think about other things.
Just guard the Spider-Man IP that Cameron is holding tightly in front of you, and the other things will be discussed in five years.
As for five years too long?
In the hands of Hollywood bigwigs, which one is not a bunch of plans in their hands, and then filming slowly?
Hold on to a good project when you see it. This is a criterion on the road to success in Hollywood.
...
Under such circumstances, Roland, who was bored and doing nothing, prepared to write a notebook while practicing storyboard painting while waiting for "Captain Hook" to officially start.
And when he sent the scripts and storyboard drafts of "Terminator" and "Terminator 2" from the truck driver, he contacted Chris Columbus and asked him for a copy of "Home Alone" and "Gremlins". information, and dialed the phone number of Spielberg, who I met in Hawaii before, and asked the other party to borrow the script of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 1, 2, 3" and after shooting the storyboard, facing the book like a mountain, James' scream was enough to pierce the sky.
"Roland? What did you say? Cameron asked you to write a storyboard?"
Looking at the guy who made such a fuss, Roland, who was learning from the experience of his predecessors, felt his brain hurt.
"Hey, I told you already, I'm just idle and bored studying at home."
"Although James did say that, but—isn't that a joke among friends?"
"How could my book be as good as his?"
"Besides, I haven't figured out the time allocation of the five major elements of a commercial script. There are requirements for the time allocation of the beginning, conflict, resolution of conflict, secondary conflict, and final ending. What else are Angleon (angle alignment) and Overshoulderangle?" (Over-the-shoulder lens), Reverseangle (reverse angle), etc. How to use a series of lens selections has to be pondered slowly. I am still in the stage of learning (copying) and learning (copying). Being spotted by the other party?"
Yes, the reason why Roland wanted so many materials was purely because he didn't know the format and couldn't write them.
However, it doesn’t matter if you can’t write it well, it’s always no problem to summarize and learn from these excellent scripts!
Aren’t routines the king of commercial movies? It’s okay to strip out other people’s book content, then slowly fill in the frame, and spend time writing an outline. As for how to optimize and sublimate?
Five years, more than 1,800 days, it doesn't matter even if Roland doesn't make any progress.
As long as the story in my heart is revealed, there are still so many big brothers who can ask for advice!
Because of this, Roland will use this method to spend time at home calmly.
With the manuscript of the big guy, it is best to be self-taught. Even if you can't become a talent, if you have mastered all seven senses and six senses, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he knows guys who know all seven senses. result.
However, for that chubby James, Roland's composure is a sure sign!
Didn’t expect, ah, didn’t expect, even you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is going to change careers?
While thinking this way, he also looked at Roland with a look that normal men could understand.
"Too tired from filming? Are you going to change your career to become a screenwriter and director?"
"Do you think that the director has great power and can get in touch with many beautiful actresses a lot!"
uh-huh?
Hearing what Little Fatty said, Roland, who was still thinking about how to make up a story, suddenly had black lines all over his head.
"What's in your head, you bastard!"
"What beautiful actress?"
"I don't understand at all!"
"You have to know that producers are the creatures at the top of the food chain under the industrialization of Hollywood."
"Compared to him, what is the director!"
"Don't understand? I didn't expect you to start lying too!"
Listening to Roland's proactively defending words, the smile on James' face became more eager, "If you don't understand, you don't understand, why explain so much to me? Isn't this implying me, is that what you think?"
"Okay, okay, you don't know, many people in school are asking me if you have a girlfriend."
"Many classmates hope that I will hold a party at home, so that they can come over and get to know you..."
"Don't tell me, the dance on the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards that day was really attractive. Now the dance club in our school is learning your dance, because many girls think it's cool!"
Yes, although there is no Internet and no short videos, the broadcaster NBC still cut out Roland's awkward dance. Compared with the frank shots during the live broadcast, the edited and modified dance scenes are even more magical.
That slapstick movement with accurate footsteps has become an object for many young people to imitate, and after learning, many people even found that Roland's dance seems to have no rules at all. officially launched.
Although everyone's version is different, as long as the melody sounds, the name Roland Allen will appear in the minds of guys who have watched the live broadcast on the red carpet. popularity.
Not only that, the army of fans who liked him before, including the number of young girls, is constantly expanding. Although there is no timely feedback like the Internet, James Olsen, who has been in contact with the outside world, can most intuitively feel the public "By the way, since the filming of "Home Alone" and "Terminator 2" has already been finished, and "Captain Hook" has a cameo, there won't be too many scenes, so have they found you a next movie?"
"Are you going to make any romance films? Now many people want to know, when will you send out your first screen kiss?"
Grass hold...
These fans are really hard to deal with.
When Roland heard the phrase firston-screenkiss, he felt like his head was getting bigger.
Just shoot the movie, don't talk about those miscellaneous things, okay?
He really doesn't know how to rub those boring gimmicks.
"Okay, okay, don't say these things are not available."
“My next work is Captain Hook, I don’t know anything else.”
"I called you here just to ask, in the "Spider-Man" comics, are there any classic plots that can be adapted."
"As a result, when you came over, you just asked this and that."
"If your curiosity is really that strong, then bring over the full set of "Spider-Man" comics, and I'll flip through them bit by bit, OK?"
Such decisive words made James's face look long. Seeing that Roland really wanted to drive him out, he pressed his hands lightly and said decisively: "OK, OK, let's not talk about other things."
"That's about the same." Roland nodded in satisfaction, stretched his chin, and signaled James to sit down.
"So... where do we start?"
Seeing that Roland was about to bring himself to write a script, James, who had no intention of mixing it up, was a little excited, "Tell me first, which period of Peter Parker are you going to start with?"
"Peter Parker in the main world of comics was bitten by a spider at the age of sixteen. Of course, I know that setting this kind of thing is like toilet paper for you, and you can tear it off at any time. So, you You have to tell me, how old is this Peter in the story you conceived? I have to find a plot for you according to age."
Roland called James over to use this guy as a tablet.
In the era when there were no Internet search engines, this kind of human computer that had read comics played a decisive role in the construction of scripts.
After all, if you don’t read the adaptation of the original work, isn’t it just making up?
This kind of behavior should be apologetic!
Facing James who had already entered the state, Roland suddenly blew his nose and said very frankly: "Let's talk about Mary Jane first?"
"Who do you think will be the most suitable Mary Jane five years from now?"
What?
James, who was turning the pages of the book and wanted to help Roland with his confusion, felt bad when he heard this sentence.
What did you say?
Who is the best Mary Jane five years from now?
The head that had just been lowered was lifted up by James again.
Staring at the little friend in front of him with scorching eyes, James firmly believed that the guy in front of him was only eleven years old.
Eleven plus five...
Emmmmm…
Roland Sauce, you are exposed!
Although the blind monk finally discovered Huadian, it doesn't mean that James will mess it up.
Besides, he himself is very interested in on-screen couples!
However, before he could get excited, after thinking for half a second, he gave up—
"Roland, I don't know how to play Tarot cards. How do I know which guys will grow up beautiful in five years?"
Right!
Roland nodded in agreement.
There are many beautiful post-80s actresses, and there are many who are similar to Roland's age, such as Jessica Alba, Kirsten Dunst, Eva Green, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman is fine, but the problem is, James doesn't know!
In this way, it is a bit disappointing.
However, even if there is no suitable actress in mind for the time being, this does not dispel their enthusiasm for creation!
When two guys with the same smell learn about each other’s preferences, then…
Script creation has become a female star seminar.
What Jennifer Connelly in "Once Upon a Time in America" fits the character of Mary Jane, Julia Roberts is very beautiful, Meg Ryan is the goddess of James, etc., etc.
Of course, although it is a seminar, but more often, it is actually James who speaks and Roland listens.
When James realized that something was wrong with the situation, and was eager to know who the most beautiful actress in Roland's heart was, Roland, who had been snickering in his heart, suddenly put on a straight face.
“So far, nothing I like…”
"Okay, stop pretending in front of me, we are brothers, I will not betray your privacy!"
"Really, I said I think Elizabeth looks beautiful, do you believe me?"
"Oh, God, can't you be more serious? If you don't want to mention people's names, you can talk about styles! Look, I've told you so much, and you don't have the spirit to share?"
"Okay ok, style...that's Marilyn kind of..."
"Marilyn?"
"Yes, Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe."
When James heard this name, he scratched his head and thought hard, because in his memory, there seems to be no golden age actress like Marilyn Monroe in Hollywood now!
However, just when he thought that Roland might be shaking himself, the calm face of his little friend made him feel that this matter was a bit strange.
"Roland, can you give me some hints, for example, what movie has she acted in?"
Facing James who was so entangled, Roland sighed with a wry smile, "If I say, if nothing else happens, she will play "Home Alone 3", do you believe it?"
"Hey, there is no sincerity at all..." When Roland said this, James immediately waved his hand in frustration.
She will star in "Home Alone 3"?
Are you kidding me! big brother!
You haven’t filmed Home Alone 2 yet, where did 3 come from!
If you don’t want to say it, then you don’t want to say it, really!
Note: ①The Jewish gang is really a magical existence. The child stars who can go to the end are basically their people. Jodie Foster’s directing skills are learned from Scorsese. Natalie Bo Needless to say, Terman, she is Jewish. Xiao Lizi said it before, so I won’t repeat it here. ②On June 16, 1998, "AFI 100 Greatest American Movies" released by the American Film Association, "The Wizard of Oz" ranked sixth. Good opportunity, unfortunately rejected by Fox. (At that time, it was the era of big studios, actors and directors were all signed by film companies, Fox would not let her act, even if MGM wanted to invite her, she would not be able to act) On December 31, in the overall sales of comics in 2018, among the top ten books, Spider-Man alone accounted for four of them, and only DC's "Action Comics" and the master can be ranked ahead of him in sales.
