Chapter 116 Embracing Fans, Recharging Project, Cherishing Feathers, People's Choice
Of course, the power of love is not that great, and Roland is just complaining about strange faces in the movie circle.
After reading the film review of "HA2", Roland remembered one thing.
In the previous life, whether it was "Star Wars", or "Jurassic Park", or "Titanic", "Lord of the Rings", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Avatar"...the academic circles don't like it, or in other words, These commercial and entertainment-heavy films will not be accepted by those film critics at all. What they favor will always be art films with more connotations and thoughts.
As a result, a special method for biopic awards appeared in later generations.
Why?
Isn’t it because as long as you plagiarize historical facts, you can directly fill up the best points of Fu Hua Dao?
In addition, the guy who is chasing the award is not bad in acting, so if you match up casually, Otti will have...
In the face of this situation, does it make sense for commercial films to be judged by film critics?
Yes, but of little significance.
Just like "Star Wars 8: The Last Jedi" was well received by film critics, but it turned over in the audience's word of mouth, "Star Wars 9: The Rise of Skywalker" was sprayed to death by film critics, but the audience can still guarantee it. Just like popcorn certification, most of the time, film critics and audiences will be opposites. In this way, it is obvious where to take care of—commercial films abandon film critics, and award-winning films abandon ordinary audiences. To take into account...
Eh!
Don't tell me, it really exists!
However, the so-called balance is actually more like pure strength.
"Schindler's List" won an award and became a hit, but the reason for the hit is actually Spielberg's basic set!
To put it bluntly, if the director's name is hidden, the movie will not sell for less than 300 million anyway!
"Forrest Gump" sold nearly 700 million because it won an award?
This is bullshit!
24 million in the first weekend, eating the aura of Tom Hanks and director Robert Zemeckis!
As for Lord of the Rings 3…
It is a work recorded in the history of British literature. Just on the page, it instantly crushes other fantasy-themed movies. Coupled with the high popularity of the trilogy, and when the original book comes out, it happens to be those who have voting rights. The childhood of the old white man, and this best-selling book of over 100 million, was also the favorite bedside reading of those guys back then...
Just like those moviegoers who watch movies with revenge now, those judges waited for three years, and finally they were able to award it!
Because of this, after discovering that film critics have sprayed themselves, those fans will take the initiative to walk into the theater to support themselves...
Roland understood how he should choose.
To please those pens, please those judges?
Come on…
The audience who support him is his root!
As long as enough audiences like his movies, those pens will eventually like them too!
Instead of pleasing them, it is better to use their strength to crush them!
In this way, the book of "Spider-Man" naturally adds logic as much as possible while keeping the coolness intact.
As for meeting the requirements of those film critics?
This kind of super British movie, no matter what, it is impossible to meet it!
...
Of course, the rest that Roland and James said is true.
Before the voice-changing period passed, Roland was not going to take the role.
But on the schedule, that is purely fooling the other party.
Staring at Elizabeth all day long?
What a joke!
He can learn from Spielberg and take time to tease them before and after dinner, but on weekdays, Roland still focuses on charging, or in other words, he has discovered his own shortcomings.
After being taught many times by those guys who can transform the producer-centered system into a director-centered system, Roland has already felt the charm of creating the world. At the same time, he also understands that while his overall view is constantly improving, his own His acting skills can no longer keep up - when he directed the children's scenes in "Captain Hook", Roland was able to handle with ease, after all, those children were not as good as him; In the scenes, seeing those actors who can quickly get their own ideas, and fully express the emotions they want in each scene, and their professionalism until the end, he feels a deep crisis.
To put it more plainly, Cameron and Spielberg helped Roland order tricks.
It’s okay to be a director just by talking about it, just like Quentin, just tell the royal photographer which movie and which scene I need next, and you just copy it for me, and that’s it.
But it is a problem to turn the mouth into reality.
Roland can indeed change careers, but—
He is so handsome, isn't it a loss for the audience to change careers?
To put it bluntly, most of the time, the directors are relatively average-looking, because those who are handsome will give priority to being actors-what a scene in front of the stage! Everywhere I go, there are girls calling me to give birth to monkeys for you!
Although the gas pedal has been completely stuck under the gaze of a certain Supreme God, the sound of cheers alone is comfortable to listen to!
So, unless he is really unable to do what he wants, Roland really doesn't want to go behind the scenes.
As a result, it is very necessary to find a teacher to make up acting lessons.
If it were another actor, it would be too late to make money. Where would there be time to recharge?
You can enter the 20 million club just by looking at it! Then what should I improve?
If it is sprayed, then pull out the words that Isabelle Huppert, the queen of French literary films who won the three major international film festivals, said: "I never prepare, I know how to shoot when I join the group." The "personal experience group" of "Life is dedicated to performance" said that he was in the crew, and he fought with real swords and guns to kill the enemy!
What if you think my acting is not good?
That is not knowing art!
Of course, Roland admitted that he couldn't learn the Frenchman's tough way of dedicating himself to art.
He believes even more that if he really does this, then there is really no filming,
Because of this, Roland got in touch with Tom Hanks after learning that he had entered a period of voice change.
That's right, although he vowed that he would not get involved in the year when the gods fought, but the opportunity is at your fingertips, so there is no need to waste it! After communicating with the other party and making sure that he can be with the team of "Forrest Gump" all the way, now Roland is so relaxed-compared to the guy who can say 'why I want to act, why can't the character be myself' For example, the performance teachers in any school are all scumbags!
Performing this kind of thing actually depends on talent.
Roland doesn't expect to be as fierce as Hanks, as long as he can steal 30 to 40%, he will be happy.
Bottom line, there is, no matter how bad it is, it can't make the audience feel like a show!
At worst, you have to eat and live in those commercial films smoothly. If you can’t do this, then it’s better to quit quickly.
Of course, Roland admitted that while he was studying, he also had the idea of ??making a face in "Forrest Gump".
Spider-Man does have a guaranteed popularity, but he himself has to maintain it.
For child stars, disappearing for a year or so is very fatal, because the guys in the circle will not wait for you to grow up, but what if you use "Forrest Gump" to make your face? No matter what, after discovering him, a thought will pop up in people's heads——
Roland Allen did not quit the circle, he was just learning and improving, trying to bring everyone a better self.
As for questioning?
The results of "Forrest Gump" can overwhelm all doubts.
It's not that Roland is just running out of money in the drama crew, this one alone can give people who like him more expectations.
...
Abundant resources allow Roland to use the best way to maintain the hottest heat and strive to be the best version of himself, and when the mountains are higher than the other, Roland doesn't have to worry about drifting, because he is even better than him. Beep guy, although he is extremely rampant in the outside world, he is still down-to-earth when doing things, and when these guys can teach him, Roland, who can feel the vastness of the sea of ??clouds, can better understand his insignificance, and burn The practice of real money is also much more enjoyable than listening to lectures in class. It is better to burn a million mistakes than to listen to the correct ones a hundred times, because the former does not feel it, and the directors of the latter will jump up and blow Roland's head! Of course, this is not shaking M...but if you make too many mistakes, you can remember it.
I was beaten a lot when I was studying, but when I did it myself, I could beat others.
While determining his own development path and not telling James, Roland also chatted with Ganetti about the future projects of the Olsen sisters.
At first, Roland thought that this guy who wanted his son to become a dragon and his daughter to become a phoenix would desperately let his daughter get involved in the film industry, but who knew that when communicating, the oncoming painting style was completely different from that.
"Movies? Let's wait until Sleepless in Seattle and Jurassic Park are released."
The extremely calm words surprised Roland, and when he was curious about why Aunt Ganetti drifted her mind and reversed the history, the other party laughed, "It's easy to get out of the circle, but hard to get in."
"If there are high-quality resources, who wants to make those bad movies?"
"When we saw many books, we knew that they would definitely jump, but in order to enter the circle, we had to accept them."
"Now that I have you, there is no need to waste my popularity and destroy my image."
"I'm not a witch, I want to use them to make money every day."
The frank words made Roland smile and narrow his eyes. It seems that his existence has indeed changed some things.
Did Ganetti change his own philosophy?
Do not make jokes…
Isn’t it the resources at your fingertips that can maintain the Olsen couple’s relationship?
Life, what I live is daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. When I have no worries about food and clothing, and the road ahead is smooth, the quality of movies will naturally improve, because after material things, I will pursue the spirit.
Compared with those great gods, it is natural to see the truth.
Guys like Hanks and Xiao Li are not short of money or fame.
Only in this situation can one feel at ease in pursuit of excitement.
Art is burning money, and you pursue art when you can’t get enough to eat?
Who should I tell it to?
You can’t even satisfy your own material foundation, and you still talk about building spiritual civilization for others?
Who will believe it?
What's more, which guy who broke his fortune and made a movie dares to touch his chest and say that the movie in his hand is not aimed at winning awards and becoming famous? And in the end? Isn't popularity realized and replaced by material basis?
And Ganetti, this guy who is looking forward to a woman, has obviously passed the link of material needs.
There is no shortage of money at all, and now there is the resource of Roland, so that there is no need to destroy her daughter's reputation and popularity.
Since Ganetti is going to look at the market feedback first and is looking for a project for the Olsen sisters, Roland will not get involved.
Besides, Roland thinks this state is quite good, it is not Buddhist, and it is not a desperate pursuit of art.
It is to cherish feathers while embracing mass commerce.
Because they don't need to roll in the mud now.
...
With the arrival of 1993, the first thing Roland did was to give bonuses to the Blizzard group.
While working on "HA2", "The Lost Vikings" was also successfully launched.
As for sales…
Well, compared with the future sales of tens of millions or more than 100 million, in this era, a game made by a handcrafted workshop can be a success if it sells 500,000 copies. Pursue the record that can be broken in the future, Meaningless.
Roland doesn't care about sales, but it doesn't mean that Mohamy and the others can be bearish.
On the second day after receiving the bonus, Roland received a call from them, inviting him to join the celebration.
Regarding the act of these guys paying out of their own pockets to celebrate, Roland sighed from the bottom of his heart: ‘It’s nice to be young. '
And he didn't join in the fun either.
"My voice has been a little hoarse recently. I saw a doctor. They said that I have entered a period of voice change. During this period, it is best to eat less irritating things. Therefore, I will not join in the fun, so as not to be greedy."
"Is that so? That's a shame..."
"What is there to regret? You have worked hard to develop real-time strategy. When you have made the engine and the game and sold them on the market, where do you want to celebrate? I will pay you to play for half a month!"
"Just waiting for your words! We will definitely develop the best-selling game, and plant the company flag on Mount Everest!"
"Okay! Don't talk about the company's flag. When the time comes, you will dig a hole on Mount Everest and plant me. It will be fine!"
...
The joy of Blizzard made Roland a little helpless.
There is no other reason, it is purely that after shooting four blockbuster movies in a row, he has never even had a celebration banquet...
Is this special thing called the entertainment circle? ? ?
As the youngest male protagonist with 1.2 billion in history, he has never even seen the glitz and ostentation, let alone the filth beneath the glitz! Although "HA" was due to disagreements within the group, "T2" was occupying the schedule, and "Hook" was a cameo, so the celebration party was aborted, but what is the excuse of "HA2" not wanting to stir up public opinion? ? ?
That's right, while "HA2" was selling well, Fox also killed the celebration party that it should have had.
In their words, the whole country is watching. If the celebration is successful, it will be a frowned upon.
Those film critics will feel that they are deliberately provoking trouble, and the fans who resist watching the movie will have the illusion that I really want to be tricked. Since the celebration banquet makes both parties have bad thoughts, then...
Save money!
Although Roland felt that Fox was right.
But he feels that saving money is the last word!
A celebration banquet costs at least one million dollars less. The money is all paid by Fox, but what about now? If you don't need to do the money, you save it, but the money saved is not sent to them. Isn't this stingy or something?
When he thought of Fox's picky behavior in the future, Roland suddenly felt a little emotional.
People are called capitalists! Where you can save, definitely don’t spend it!
However, although there is no celebration banquet, there are still awards.
Of course, this award has nothing to do with the Golden Globes or the Oscars, but the People's Choice Award.
The People's Choice Awards are sponsored by Gallup polls. The results are completely voted by movie, TV and music lovers. It represents the popularity award of the trend indicator in America. In layman's terms, it is similar to our Huading.
However, if Huading is the kind of pheasant award that is held separately for film and television, can be held three times a year, and try to give away the trophy, then the people's choice award is much better. After all, Gallo According to the public opinion survey, they rely on their credibility. If they don't want Bilian, their main business will be ruined.
Compared to the Teen Choice Awards, which are jokingly called teenagers who have no choice, the People's Choice Awards are among the mainstream popularity awards in America. They have a pretty good reputation, but it is precisely because they are good that they lack a touch of humanity!
Because the People's Choice Award is voted out, it is very unfriendly to Roland.
Now is not the Internet era, and it is not possible to vote online, and the traditional voting method is really difficult for Roland's fan base, so even if he wins the award, it is not him himself, but the "HA2" film. movie, and Roland…
Well, it's kind of related.
After all, he acted in the movie!
Of course, that being said, Roland didn't go to the scene either.
Because of the award, the producer went to receive it.
And when he was staying at home, watching the TV boringly, when John Hughes held up the trophy with glory, he was deeply moved by the relief that everything was over.
Regardless of whether those guys watched the movie for revenge, they chose "HA2" in the end.
This is a victory for fans, and it is also his victory.
"What a bunch of cute guys..."
“It’s no wonder Steven is so passionate about making movies.”
"It feels so good to be liked..."
However, before the voice of emotion fell, the landline next to Roland's hand suddenly rang.
Picking it up and listening, before he could speak, there was a familiar growl from the other end of the phone——
"Roland Allen! What have you done!"
Notes: ① "Star Wars 8 and 9" in this article use data from Rotten Tomatoes. ②It is true that Huppert has said something like that in the field of European cinema. ③Although the Teen Choice Award is also a mainstream award, it really means that there is no Teen Choice Award, and Fox, the organizer, has been complaining about it for many years. ④The People’s Choice Awards were awarded last year and the year before last in November, but it was always January before. . ⑤ The fact that Oscar is influenced by public opinion as written in the article is true, especially "The Lord of the Rings 3". There was no suspense in that session. According to media reports, no one thought he would fail.
