Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 411 I was careless, there is no flash

In fact, when Roland asked the future governor for the script of "Terminator 3" written by the ex-wife of the truck driver, and said that he would give an accurate answer within a day, this guy who wanted to go into official career didn't actually count on the fact that he had already transformed into capital. Roland can give any constructive suggestions for revision, because no one can come up with a qualified script within 86,400 seconds.

Since the birth of the movie, the record of the fastest script writing in the history of mankind is ten pages a night kept by Fatty Wang, an employee of Xiangjiang. The next fastest is only set by Michael Bay when he was filming "Transformers" One book in seven days, James Cameron made one in fifteen days to deal with Sylvester Stallone, and besides...

Almost all projects will go through more than two or three months of polishing.

No way, who makes the script the soul of a movie?

If a story cannot be presented in the simplest words, it is even more difficult to render it into a picture.

But when the future governor saw that Roland abandoned the future war script written by the ex-wife of the truck driver, and pushed a dozen or so light pages in front of him, the scribbled but clear handwriting and the exaggerated but precise patterns made him feel Judgments over the years seemed to have been wrong, and when he discovered that the three-stage script written by Roland was able to present the time travel in the "Terminator" series in two different ways to human beings while having a transition. The camp and the Skynet camp, after allowing them to substantively crush the enemy at different times, the hearty punching made him open his mouth.

"This script is simply, simply, simply too cool!"

Arnold Schwarzenegger said in admiration: "Multiverse? Isn't this the element in Marvel and DC? Time reset? The box office of "Groundhog Day" is okay! And when these two elements are combined Finally, the disadvantages of random travel due to the birth of the multiverse will disappear! And the refreshment reduced by the invincibility brought by time reset can also be made up by the time point that appears in the later stage! This combination is more than a simple Fighting is so much better! I love the script!"

While feeling emotional, the tough guy on the screen raised his head again, and asked in surprise and regret: "Roland, how did you come up with this idea? If I had known you had such an idea, I wouldn't have Going to Gail! And if I hadn't gone to Gail, James wouldn't have blacklisted my number now! And if I hadn't been blacklisted, I could have gone to him now Be the director of this movie!"

The fanatical and joyful words coupled with the helpless and annoyed expression made this guy who could fight Sylvester Stallone extremely cute, although at this moment Roland was very happy to be praised by him, and even He wanted to use the expression of Versailles literature to show the ease of things to the other party, but after learning that the other party said that he wanted to find a truck driver to make this movie, all the emotions that came to his heart instantly returned to nothingness, and he tapped table, signaling future governors to face reality.

"Arnold."

"Um?"

"Look carefully at my inspiration."

"Huh?"

The excited future governor didn't understand what Roland meant, but following Roland's silence, he lowered his head and read the inspirational paper again, and after he continued to read through it two or three times, he jumped into the The difficulties in his eyes caused the joy in him to decline crazily, and the doubts that rose bravely made him frown instinctively.

"Steven?" Arnold Schwarzenegger who understood clearly spoke slowly.

"Yeah." Roland nodded calmly.

The short dialogue is like a swordsman in a literary novel, so stop.

And when the future governor finds out that the capital in front of him is pursuing the simplicity on paper, and only one director can stably shoot the script, the sudden appearance of dumbfounding makes his face look like a big Yao...

Only one director of a movie script can pat his chest and say that he can win it 100%?

Then no matter how wonderful the script is, the meaning of its existence is meaningless!

And Roland wrote a book that only one director can shoot?

this…

Arnold Schwarzenegger took a serious look at Roland, and when he noticed the embarrassment and helplessness on the other's face, he knew that this guy who had been rampant in Hollywood for the past ten years had already used the top match.

In the case where the partner is not a famous director with a big box office hit, or a big box office and award winner, Roland can no longer understand the pain of those common people who are eager for resources!

Anyway, there are top-level resources as soon as you slap your ass, so when writing a script, it's natural to be as cool as possible!

No way, who can let me have someone who can do it?

When my starting point is the end point that countless people cannot see, how can I understand the helplessness of ordinary people?

However, although this is the reason, things cannot be done this way!

After discovering this situation, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was still excited, suddenly showed a bitter look.

Because he knew in his heart that it was impossible for Steven Spielberg to take over the project.

"Then this thing gives me a headache..." Square Face scratched his head.

"I have a worse headache than you." Roland shrugged and looked around.

When he found that his mother-in-law was not nearby, he approached the future governor, lowered his voice, and complained: "The most uncomfortable thing for me is that after I finished writing the idea with excitement, Kate not only didn't boast Instead, I directly pointed out this fact... Do you know how uncomfortable I was? I was just happy to think that writing a script turned out to be such a simple thing, but she poured cold water on me and said that my idea No one can take pictures, this kind of behavior makes me so angry!"

"Ah! This?" The future governor sighed. He didn't want to take care of Roland's housework, so he changed the subject and said, "Maybe she thinks you spend too much time on this project? Or maybe it's you It was too late last night? In short, you have to be patient with women! After all, the days to come are still long!"

Although the future governor didn't know that Kate and Roland read the script together last night, but when Roland moved out of his wife, he knew that he shouldn't bother him too much, so he wanted to rub the soles of his feet, "Well, the director's business will be done by I will solve it, I will go back first, try to find some suitable candidates, and then report them to you, and you will decide who to use in the end?"

Roland liked this kind of proposal, and the reason why he brought up Kate's complaint was that he hoped that he could get away from such boring things as soon as possible, so after the future governor took the initiative to leave, he didn't keep him and saw off the guests directly.

Following the bodybuilder's departure, Roland returned to his study in a good mood.

In the case where money can be used to block the mouths of all parties, that fluffy paper is the most beautiful thing in the world!

And when he sat at his desk and clearly outlined the interest groups related to the Sony case, and found that all groups could make a lot of money in the division of the case, he finally didn't miss the excitement, which made him very excited. Laughing again and again.

"Okay! Everyone is fed! Next, no one will come to trouble me!"

Such words made Kate, who was reading a book, laugh idiotically. After turning her head and glanced at the draft drawn by her husband, the questioning words appeared naturally, "Arnold was settled by you?"

"Of course! Isn't it easy to deal with him? Don't you see who I am?" Roland said without shame, "He said that he will take care of the director's affairs, and he will find some suitable candidates, and then I will decide who to use in the end. Whoever, he has made his words so clear, then I don't have to continue wasting favors on such uncertain things..."

That's right! The reason why Roland didn't want to take care of this matter was because the investment was huge and the return was low!

If "Terminator" is an evergreen series, then Roland will definitely be busy like the Marvel Universe!

But it's not!

In this way, it becomes the instinct of capital to deal with it casually.

But when he was humming and singing in a good mood, Kate, like the night before, poured cold water on him, "What if Arnold finally gets involved with you again?" 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

"How is this possible!" Roland didn't believe it. "When the project is established, it's a matter of fact! Whether he goes to Francis or Martin, these things have nothing to do with me, because I didn't find them!

Even if they accepted the project because of my face, we still have a chance to communicate before it is formally finalized. As long as the matter is made clear, then I think everyone can attribute their sensibility to the business..."

Seeing that her husband was so confident, Kate, who felt that Roland's idea had no loopholes, did not continue to investigate further. However, just when Kate and Roland thought that the whole thing was over, within two days, Arnold Schwarzenegger Ge suddenly placed in front of him a director that Roland had never thought of.

That is-

Christopher Nolan.

To be honest, when Roland saw Nolan's name for the first time, he was in a daze, because in his plan, the director who followed the school of thought should not shine until "Batman" was released. .

And now...

He should be in a state of practicing directing skills to be explored.

But when Roland called Evelyn Watson, the president of Warcraft Film and Television, and learned that Nolan had not received any invitations from other studios recently, he realized that this person's development trajectory was also following With my own intervention, there has been a huge change.

In Roland's previous life, after filming "Memento", Christopher Nolan was recommended to Warner Bros. by Steven Soderbergh, who hooked up with him, and served as a security guard with George Clooney, letting him take charge of the movie. Mirror for "Insomnia," starring Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Hilary Swank.

Although the movie hit the street, the neat narrative structure made Warner see his talent, so when "Batman" needed an outsourced director, based on the principle of shooting for anyone, Warner put the project together. It was handed over to Christopher Nolan recommended by George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh. After the success, he even invested in his "The Prestige".

But now?

When Roland clings to "Memory Fragments" and spends a lot of money to promote it crazily, as if declaring his sovereignty to the world, the other guys around him retreat in spite of the difficulties.

After all, the current Roland is the biggest thigh in the circle!

A leather bag company can start projects with a total amount of more than 400 million at the same time. How can others compare with this kind of skill?

In this case, Steven Soderbergh would no longer introduce Christopher Nolan to Warner.

In this way...

Christopher Nolan, who was supposed to be filming "Insomnia", is currently unemployed, and if Arnold Schwarzenegger hadn't discovered him, then Roland Allen had forgotten him, and I'm afraid he would have to do it for a long time cold bench.

When such a result appeared in front of Roland, he was really a little scared. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

Because, he, who has been fascinated by power, almost destroyed a great god!

However, just when he was thankful, Arnold Schwarzenegger's actions reminded him of The Forgotten Guy, and he was ready to nod, allowing Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan to take over the project and write a full story for it. When he was in charge of the script and was in charge of the camera, he was just about to respond when he suddenly smelled something strange again!

"That's not right!" Roland touched his chin, and he suddenly felt that his teeth hurt a little.

"What's the matter?" Kate asked curiously as she watched her husband scratching his head.

"I seem to have been tricked by Arnold again!"

Roland frowned, and said what he thought, "Now everyone in the circle knows that Christopher is my man, and in this case, Arnold invited him to film, isn't it because he wants to continue to make me owe others love?"

Yes! Roland has seen something wrong!

In the absence of a director on the market who can 100% control the "Terminator 3" he wrote, Arnold Schwarzenegger invited a director he trained to film, isn't it equivalent to accumulating experience for the other party?

Since no one can guarantee the quality, find the director who has the closest relationship with Roland to guarantee the relationship between the two parties!

In this way, it is done, of course everyone is happy!

And if you pounce, it doesn't matter!

To complete a commercial masterpiece alone with top-notch Hollywood starring roles and first-line production resources at your fingertips, the kind of hands-on experience is not available to everyone!

How else can you say that in the past ten years, colleagues in the industry have been too lazy to provoke Roland?

After all, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!

When two old men are willing to pass on priceless knowledge to him, offending him is offending everyone!

After all, the experience that cannot be bought in the market is the key to the success of countless projects!

In this way, let Christopher Nolan touch the high-end gameplay that countless directors may not be able to touch in their lifetime?

Isn't that equivalent to Arnold Schwarzenegger kicking the ball of favor back to Roland Allen!

In the beginning, it was Roland Allen who hoped to use "Terminator 3" to repay Arnold Schwarzenegger's favor in making "Black Hawk Down"! Now, it's Arnold Schwarzenegger who wants to go deeper with Christopher Nolan and Roland Allen!

After Kate finished listening to her husband's analysis, she, who had reminded Roland before, immediately laughed, "Are you uncomfortable?"

"Yes, I'm really feeling a little uncomfortable now." Roland looked at his wife with emotion.

"Actually, you don't have to feel so uncomfortable, because Little Bush's father once said that Arnold is a natural politician." Kate comforted her husband, and said, "Besides, didn't you say that a good relationship with him is beneficial to you? So , There is absolutely no need for you to show complete resistance to this kind of thing, after all, the nature of the favor you owe him and the favor you owe him are actually the same."

"It's true to say so, but I prefer to take the initiative."

Roland pouted, and suddenly lost his shape, "It's like I don't like you on it."

"Wow!" Kate shouted, looking at her husband in surprise, "I thought you were upset by Arnold's tricks!

Didn't expect you to make such a joke on me now? "

"Of course, if you can't resist, just enjoy it. I've always been very sensible." Roland winked at his wife and said nonchalantly, "It's like every time you insist. Once you insist, I won't let you go." Did you go up?"

"Go to hell!" When Kate heard this, she immediately raised her slap and slapped Roland 'hardly'.

Roland curled up with his head in his hands, turning into a sandbag familiarly, letting him vent his anger.

Originally, as a guy who calculates this and manages that, Roland really hates being taken the initiative by others, but who makes Arnold Schwarzenegger's existence more meaningful than his disappearance?

In the case that Roland may use him frequently in the future, it doesn't really matter who has the right to speak.

Of course, he can actually guess why this guy would go to such lengths to make himself owe him favors.

Isn't it because he wants to be an official?

The whole world knows that after Roland does not hold a controlling stake in a media group but can monopolize the outlet of the media, it is much better to have a good relationship with him than to have a good relationship with a media giant!

After all, you can choose CNN, NBC, or ABC, but after you choose, your friend’s enemy will also become your enemy, but what if you choose Roland Allen?

Isn't that equivalent to choosing CNN, NBC and ABC at the same time?

Which one is worthwhile can be distinguished at a glance!

There are no real idiots in this world, but those who can become top-notch in Hollywood are even smarter.

So well...

Being routine is also being routine.

At most, it’s careless and there is no flash. As for the others?

Since Arnold Schwarzenegger wants Christopher Nolan to do it, let him do it...

Notes: ① In reality, Christopher Nolan had Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney as guarantees before he filmed "Insomnia", but with the two Roland series' hip pulls, Nolan's "Insomnia" With the rise of Batman, there has been a huge reversal in the popularity of both parties, especially George Clooney, who is called the most worthless superstar in Hollywood, and Steven Soderbergh, who was brought by "Contagion". After retiring due to problems, Nolan's fans said that Nolan's failed work "Insomnia" was a failure due to the intervention of two big names. This is really... I have never seen such a face wash before.
