Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 58 Cameron's Bad Taste

In fact, there was not much time left for Roland to write calligraphy; before he left his paw prints on the autograph book in batches according to the plan, the "Terminator 2" crew had already sent Received a group shooting notice.

  Due to the red carpet, the film project was exposed in advance. In order to perfectly fit with the publicity schedule, the announcer and producer also adjusted their schedules, moving the original launch time forward by one week.

  In Hollywood, this kind of thing is very common.

  Filing first, announcement first, there are countless movies in production.

  No way, accidents may happen at any time, if there is no emergency plan, wouldn't the person be suffocated to death?

Among them, the most famous one is "Pirates of the Caribbean 4". Disney just set up the project, and the backhand was exposed by others. It took less than five months from the start of the film to the closing of the film, and it was only a little over six months from the closing to the release. The shooting + production time did not even exceed 365 days. This name has been brought to the extreme, and it has made many directors who have procrastination feel ashamed—of course, Cameron, the number one procrastinator in Hollywood, and Spielberg, the second largest procrastinator, are not among them.

  Because of this, when Roland arrived at the set on time and met with him, the first sentence the other party said was to complain.

   "The incident between you and Arnold directly cost me seven days of vacation..."

  “I wanted to go diving in Hawaii before the movie started shooting, but now I can only nest here, facing the camera.”

Perhaps it was because of the three days of fuss in the desert, the truck driver at this moment is not as indifferent as in the previous audition, and after hearing what the other party said, Roland even smiled and said: "Then after the movie is finished, Let's go again."

   "Us?" The truck driver, who was waiting for Schwarzenegger to wear foundation all over his body, discovered the problem in Roland's words.

   "Of course." Roland nodded.

   "Can you dive?" Cameron became interested.

   "No." Roland shook his head sincerely, "But I can learn..."

"Forget it, after we finish filming here, you're going to the crew next door." Cameron obviously didn't care about Roland's words, shrugged, and said, "Let's talk about diving after the movie is released. "

   Cameron just expressed his feelings about the news from the outside world, and just said it casually.

   As for whether he cares about being popular with others?

  Now that you have entered this circle, if you still care about these things, then this day will be impossible.

What hype about love scandals between actors, what dewy marriages of youth idols, what fake dramas are real flash love flash marriages, these can be used in publicity, to put it harshly, the love between stars, Just take a look at this kind of thing, after all, no one can guarantee whether these matters are written into the contract.

  Before the birth of a child, any love affair may become the CUP of a female star. It is erratic, making news when there is no news. This kind of thing is too easy for a guy who plays entertainment.

  In the era when FirstKiss and Firstnight are likely to be used as a means of publicity, if Cameron is obsessed with things that are being rubbed, then he should stop making movies, and the lawsuits for rights protection alone can be fought all over the sky.

   Not to mention, how did Roland get the tickets for the premiere of "Goodfellas"?

  This question is even more intriguing.

  If Joe Pesci and the others have no idea of ​​hype, then even if Roland wants to go there, there is no way!

  And if you follow this line to follow the clues...

   In the end, the Jewish gang had to be involved.

so-

  The truck driver just complained a few words casually in front of Roland, just as a joke, and directly exposed the matter.

  He just wanted to express to Roland that he was aware of the outside world. As for the willingness to pursue it?

  With this spare time, why not wait for "Home Alone" to become popular, and then, won't he be able to come back?

   What's more, when he wanted to make a sequel to "Alien", Fox agreed without hesitation!

   Last year, Fox invested in his film "The Abyss", which was a sudden death at the box office.

   Now that Fox has turned back the heat, it can be regarded as returning.

   After uncovering this topic, Cameron chatted with Roland casually, and then got annoyed by the slow makeup team.

After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, seeing that there were no signs of Schwarzenegger's appearance, he quickly put on his director's hat, rushed into the dressing room and roared, and when the two reappeared, Shi, who played the robot in the movie, Wassinger followed behind the truck driver without saying a word, and his calm appearance really gave people a sense of relief.

  No one mentioned what happened in the dressing room, and it was impossible for Roland to ask more questions at this juncture.

  However, when the naked governor walked past him, the other party suddenly turned to Roland and made a face.

  Not only that, he turned his back on Cameron and pouted.

  Looking at this situation, Roland was overjoyed.

  The Devil Terminator can't defeat the tyrant?

   This is too low!

   If it gets out, it will definitely affect the sales of T-800 soldiers!

  Different from the crew of "Home Alone", the crew of "Terminator 2" did not have a script study session.

For James Cameron, there is no such thing as interpreting the character of the character through the script and finding out the relationship between the characters in the movie. For James Cameron, this does not mean that Cameron and It's the same with a wonderful director like Sunglasses King. All the character relationships rely on the actors to constantly explore in countless reshoots, but the character relationship in "Terminator 2" is actually very simple. There are not many lines throughout the story. The governor of Shangzhou can pretend to beep by wearing sunglasses, and it is easier to shoot literary dramas. Of course, even if there are problems, wouldn’t it be enough to take a few more shots?

  It is better to practice more on the court than talk about the sky off the court.

   As for money?

  I, James Cameron, am I like the kind of person who needs money?

  Anyway, I didn’t pay for the film myself, so I feel sorry for the ass!

   But speaking of it, this is already the second film Roland has filmed since his time travel, and the third work he has taken over.

   But so far, Roland hasn't even been in a serious crew.

Of course, this is not to say that the crews of "Home Alone", "Terminator 2", or the future "Captain Hook" are irregular, but that these crews are completely inconsistent with the development of Hollywood's producer-centered system system.

   Regardless of which production crew it is, it is the operation mode of the boss, the second, and the director.

   Those supposedly strong producers looked more like part-time workers in front of these guys.

   And this situation also made Roland deeply moved.

   Mode of operation?

  That's bullshit!

   In the face of the real status in the arena, no model is useful.

  You beep, capital will lick around you, if you make him stand, he won't sit, if you make him bow, he won't lie down.

It's that simple.

  Of course, in Roland's current state, it's too early to talk about his status in the world.

   What's more, as an actor, the awesomeness is naturally interpreted by shaping the character!

Therefore, before coming here, Roland who got the script had already read the content several times. For him, the script of "Terminator 2" is quite simple, based on what he learned from Robert Zemeckis Things can be easily controlled.

After all, the action sci-fi film "Terminator 2" is actually more horror-thriller. A traditional hero, not a comic character like Captain Jack, who laughs and scolds even in a life-and-death struggle.

  Now Roland is most afraid of the kind of purely funny characters, because many times he can't get those American humor points. The "Scream Laugh" series is the movie he can laugh from beginning to end, as for the others?

   That is, "Body Swapping" played by Xiao Jianjian is a bit interesting?

  If the role of T-800 will be the same as Captain Jack, Roland feels that it will be very difficult for him to act with the other party. He may not be able to catch the stalks thrown by the other party, but Sun Xiaochuan’s Sima face style—

   Isn't this just letting him play by himself?

   Treating the iron-blooded robot as a harbor that can protect itself, isn't this the end?

Of course, these preparations were all Roland's own ideas when he was at home, because there was no rehearsal, and he didn't know the facial expressions, body movements, and eye changes he had practiced in front of the mirror to enrich John Connor's character. Whether there is a problem with the technique, but he is clear about one thing.

   Regardless of how he plays, it must be better than the original Edward Furlong who has no acting experience.

   And this is Roland's inner pillar.

  After a long period of training, no matter how bad his performance is, it will not be worse than that novice Edward Furlong!

  The other party is not a genius like Leonardo. In his previous life, he didn't have any handed down works at all. In this case, didn't his performance back then not affect the box office?

  As long as you do your best and perform better than the other party, isn't the extra praise considered earned?

  The crew of "Terminator 2" may make a small profit, but I, Roland, will never lose money!

  However, before half a month had passed, he was 'sprayed' by Cameron...

   "Roland, do you understand the screaming? Do you understand the eyes!"

   "You don't have to care about whether there is someone in front of you! You don't have to pay attention to the green screen in front of you, you just need to shout loudly!"

   "You are now facing the most advanced Terminator T-1000 from the future! He wants to kill you now!"

"Just imagine that you are in the middle of the road, and a car is speeding towards you. At this moment, you have been frightened and stupid, and you can do nothing but shout! You just hold your head and shout, other things Just leave it to Arnold!"

   "Of course, while screaming, the eyes must be strong!"

   "Don't keep staring forward, you can easily make me mistakenly think that I am filming a romance movie!"

  Yes, something went wrong in Roland's first green screen scene after time travel.

   It's not that he can't act in this scene, but that his performance in front of the camera is really too mature.

Facing the threat to his life (in fact, there is nothing but a green screen), he is indeed screaming with all his strength, but the emotion revealed in his eyes does not have the fear of seeing the Devil Terminator, only the nervousness of fantasy ( Don’t you talk nonsense? The T-800 with the protagonist’s aura is standing behind him holding a shotgun, what a fart!).

  If it was Edward Furlong, this scene might have passed long ago.

   But after seeing Roland's finished film in "Home Alone", James Cameron felt that he had potential.

Of course, Roland would be happy with the kindness of the truck driver, but if he was really asked to imagine a scary scene, he would have some doubts—he had never received horror movies in his previous life, and all the training of fear emotions was According to the teaching of the subject teacher, the eyes are hardened, the facial expression is dull or ferocious, and the muscles on the body are controlled to make them tense, and then the scene, soundtrack, flash cut editing and other atmosphere rendering are added, and the final fear effect is not enough. Can it be presented?

   If it really doesn’t work, then learn more from European and American styles, wouldn’t it be over if you sprinkle more plasma?

  Or let the photographer take more first-person shots, and when shooting, you have to shake your hands like you have Parkinson's.

Anyway, the horror in horror movies is all due to makeup, props, costumes, and scenes. Just like Kayako crawling around the corner of the stairs in "The Grudge", the black and white horror rendering has nothing to do with the actors. And the sudden ringing of the phone in the quiet room in "Midnight Ring" is also the credit of the set designer. As for "House of Wax Museum", it is the credit of the soundtrack. The metal sounds fluctuate, and the audience is directly brought into it , There is an immersive feeling.

   And in this case, if you want Roland to face the green screen and act out the fear in his pupils, isn't that embarrassing him for Fat Tiger?

  What kind of horror movie is shot against a green screen?

However, just when Roland was at a loss, Cameron stopped after roaring and waved at the recorder, signaling them to make some changes to the scene; about half an hour later, when Roland and Shi Wassinger appeared in front of the camera again, and the whole shooting suddenly went smoothly.

   There is no other reason, it is purely that Cameron is really scaring Roland.

   When Roland ran along the passage, the ceiling of the passage in front suddenly disappeared.

   At the same time, a chained 'corpse' fell directly from above, not only that, but the bright red paint was also continuously dripping due to the existence of Newton's gravitation—

  Such an abrupt scene shocked Roland who was running in an S shape according to the script.

   And the screaming and running away at this time naturally satisfied the truck driver's (evil) needs (fun) and demands (taste).

  Of course, this also caused Roland to complain.

   "Hey, James, if that body hits me, this scene won't work."

   “If I run a few steps faster, the paint might drip on my head.”

   "If that happens, the lens will be useless!"

  Unfortunately, Roland's words are not important to Cameron at all.

   "But the effect is good now, isn't it?"

   "Look at the look in your eyes. When the corpse came down, your whole face was shaking."

   For Cameron, this kind of intimidation is no big deal.

You know, when he was filming "The Abyss" two years ago, in order to make the movie look a little scary, he made his younger brother hold his breath at a depth of fifteen feet underwater, and at the same time let a living crab Crawl out of the mouth.

  He didn't care about 'they are born from the same root, so why are we in a hurry'? In this case, it was already polite enough for him not to have someone pretend to be a ghost to scare Roland. As for Roland's complaint? Seeing that Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" next door has not yet finalized the filming draft, he reluctantly regarded it as an unknown act of frightening a child.

  Of course, except for this time, Roland's reputation in the "Terminator 2" crew is actually pretty good.

   It was a surprise for them not to take advantage of the situation to be arrogant and domineering, but what about the others?

   Didn't you see that he sometimes complained to Cameron, and the other party just responded with the same tone?

  In this case, as long as Roland can film well, what opinions can others have?

  Many times, the background is the capital of your speech!

Note: ①The biggest procrastinator in Hollywood is Cameron, and Spielberg ranks second. This was exposed by Katherine Kennedy in a roundtable interview after the premiere of "The Force Awakens". Wen is the most hated postponement director in Hollywood, how much do you hate? No company was willing to invest in the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" project. Later, Lucas assured Paramount CEO Eisner that he would keep an eye on him in the crew and would not let Steven delay overspending. Mengcai invested. ②Fake love creates topics for publicity, which is a normal behavior in Hollywood. For example, the actress in "X-Men" is a typical example. "Future" got back together when it was filming, and broke up when it was released. It fell in love with the director when it was filming the Olympic film, and broke up after the actress got it. After the exposure of the Sony film hack, a bunch of actor and director love contract texts were exposed. There are Spider-Man and Sister Stone. ③Schwarzenegger has never dared to hate Cameron. He challenged Cameron's authority when he was filming the first film, but he was stunned speechless. ④ The simple interpersonal relationship in "Terminator 2" is my nonsense. The reason why there is no script reading is because Cameron shot 189.39 miles of film, and a lot of money was burned on the film. ⑤The matter of "The Abyss" is true. Cameron tortured his brother for that scene, and the actress was almost drowned when filming the drowning scene, so she became depressed and rested for a year before resuming Take the book.
