Chapter 138 All-gold lineup under divergence

"Cut! Good!"

Robert Zemeckis raised the horn and shouted, then held it under his arm and clapped his hands.

"Excellent! Honey, Excellent!"

When the camera kept zooming up and Tom Hanks sitting next to the mailbox gradually shrunk and disappeared, "Forrest Gump" also announced the closure of the camera.

Although Roland was an unsettling factor, it took three weeks longer than planned for the crew to assemble.

Since it’s the end of the year, awards season and Christmas have almost collided, so after the filming was closed, all the so-called celebrations were cut off. For Christmas, each went back to each family to find their own mothers, but Christmas For the festival, either it is to work hard for the awards season, to participate in the activities arranged by the producer, or to fly back to Los Angeles in a hurry to be busy with the later stages of the film. Hanks is the former, and Zemeckis is It's the latter, and Roland...

As soon as the door was pushed open, a waist-high little monster ran over with a bang.

At the same time, he shouted sweetly, "Roland!"

"Hey!" Seeing this situation, Roland squatted down, and when the opponent fell into his arms, he got up naturally with his arms folded, instinctively shaking a few times—tsk, this cabbage grows quite fast, doesn't it? That's almost forty pounds?

Although Roland's reaction was suspected of being a trafficker, he didn't make a fuss about Elizabeth's weight. After taking a sip on the other's forehead, he asked, "You're the only one in the family? Don't you? Where are they?" ?”

"Dad is in the study, Mam is doing homework with Ashley and Mary, and James is reading in his own room..."

Little Loli opened her fleshy paws, counted on her fingers, and explained the whereabouts of her family. This kind of behavior of knowing everything and talking endlessly made Roland very happy, "Then when did they say it's time to eat?" ?"

"Dad said seven o'clock." Blingbling's big eyes stared at Roland, "Are you hungry? I have snacks in my room."

"Save the snacks for yourself." Roland touched the other person's head, and then put her down, "There is still an hour, I'll go back and take a shower first, you are obedient at home!"

Roland actually wanted to be a strange man and take Elizabeth to see the goldfish, but the beast wouldn't allow it!

Xiao Hei and Zha Fei are racing fast with the word "uh". If he takes Elizabeth to see an elephant, the car crashes and everyone dies!

By the time he came back from the shower, a group of people had already gathered in the restaurant.

Slightly different from Roland's memory, David would always sit in the main seat when dining, with the three Olsen sisters and Ganetti sitting on the left, Roland and James on the right, and Ganetti sitting on the left. Dee usually sits between her daughters, not leaning against her husband; now, she is sitting next to David's hand, next to her is Elizabeth, and down the line are Mary and Ashley— This kind of sitting order made Rolando look at David a few times, and the other party responded with trembling eyebrows.

That almost explicit behavior made Roland very happy.

Especially Ganetti's radiant face made Roland, who was sitting on the hook chair, say something casually: "Are you going to add someone to the family?"

"..." Before the couple could say hello to Roland, Roland had already dealt them a head-on crit. Such behavior made the couple give him a tacit understanding, and then said: "Five people are enough. okay?"

"If there is one more person like you, we will probably be bored to death!"

Although the Olsen couple directly expressed their 'dissatisfaction' in their hearts, Roland, who was dissed, smiled happily. Since they agreed to speak out, doesn't that mean that the so-called relationship crisis has disappeared?

Seeing this result, Roland touched his chest playfully, walked behind the three little lolis, and said very sadly: "Oh, it seems that I am the least popular one in the family..."

"I'm so sick, Ashley, Mary, Lizzie, can you give me a hug?"

"OK."

"Can."

"Mua!"

The three little lolis didn't know that Roland was joking? She hugged Roland very cooperatively, Elizabeth even kissed Roland on the cheek, and when Roland went back to his seat, James also opened his arms, wanting to give him a loving hug, but Roland stretched out his arms. He stretched out his right hand and pressed the other person's forehead, "Forget it."

╭(⊙o⊙)╮

What? ? ?

What do you mean? ? ?

James, who wanted to cooperate with Roland, suddenly showed a black question mark face.

How could he not know that Roland's pressing made him the most unwelcome one in the family? ? ?

Can…

This is my home! !

Seeing the bewildered face of his brother after being rejected, the three little lolis giggled immediately, and the Olsen couple finally couldn't hold back their faces. Ganetti held his forehead and shook his head, sighing helplessly, but David Nodding with a wry smile, he tapped the table with his index finger, "Okay, okay, stop making trouble, Roland is finally done with his work, we should be happy."

"Oh, by the way, I heard from Li Qi that you can take a month off this time? Want to take her out to play?"

"Exactly, we are all fine recently, let's go together."

Everyone go together?

James' eyes lit up when he heard this.

Ever since he entered middle school, he almost vomited!

Especially this summer, when Roland took his sister out to play, he even threatened him with a comic book so that he wouldn't let him follow her!

When he thought that Roland was playing outside with his sister, and he could only stay at home and think about it, he became so angry that he didn't fight alone!

Now! My father said to go together, you can't threaten me now!

But Roland never thought of continuing to threaten James.

For David's proposal, he nodded cleanly.

"No problem, it's fun to go out together!"

"However, you have to wait for me for a few days. I have to go to Disney first to confirm the dubbing time of the animated film, and then meet with Ang Lee to see if his film is finished. As for the itinerary, we have to travel from the UK. At the beginning, a friend invited me to play in the past, and I will stay there for a few days..."

For the three little lolis, there is no problem with Roland's arrangement, because what they are interested in is actually an unknown Disney animation movie; and for the Olsen couple, it is also a good decision to start all the way from England; But for James, he was a little curious-animated movies and AngLee were new terms he heard for the first time, but wouldn't Roland's next project be "Spider-Man"?

"Roland, did you forget one thing?"

"From 1991 to now, it seems that your "Spider-Man" script has not been finished yet?"

"Compared with the animated film AngLee, "Spider-Man" is your most important project next, right?"

"What? Don't you care?"

Hearing James mention the script, Roland, who was still relaxed, suddenly felt a pain in the ass.

Yes, so far, the script is still in a difficult state.

It's not that the current Roland can't write commercial scripts. After studying for so long, if he hasn't figured out the streamlined routine scripts, he will probably be served by the old man with explosives. Boss, he and Cameron both have serious disagreements, or to put it another way—the old man is clinging to his spinning settings!

When Roland got the copyright of "Spider-Man", Cameron also told Roland his ideas in the form of a bunch of materials, including the setting that after Peter Parker was bitten, his wrist could spin silk, and This ability will also change with Peter Parker's mentality. If Peter Parker is righteous, then his wrist can spray spider silk, and if Peter Parker has evil intentions, then his silk spinning ability will lose...

Roland has seen this kind of setting in his previous life. No way, who made Tobey Maguire admit that many settings in the movie were copied from Cameron's draft? However, he personally prefers the setting of Andrew Garfield's version. Both parents are scientists. The so-called mutation of the poor is actually the result of his father's research.

The spider silk launcher is something he researched by himself, not only that, he also has a genius-like brain.

In addition to the issue of silk spinning, Peter Parker's character is also the key to the unresolved issue. What Roland wanted was the excitement of Tom Holland stealing the US team's shield in "Captain America: Civil War", but the truck driver felt that Roland's The brain is simply watts! In his words, it is: "Can you show off on screen for two hours?"

Asked by the truck driver, Roland also felt that writing a two-hour joke seemed a bit unreliable. After all, this is a movie, not a Deyun Club special. Two hours of cleverness in a movie can easily cause aesthetic fatigue. So he took the initiative to take a step back and decided to be the same as the setting in "The Amazing Spider-Man". When not wearing a uniform, he is a hanger, but when he is wearing a uniform, he is coquettish. When compared, the contrast is also Out.

Of course, compared with ability setting and personality issues, the most important thing is that the villain is still unresolved.

To be honest, this kind of IP that anyone can make money from acting, naturally the more colorful the screen effect, the better, so the first thing Roland wanted to fight was Professor Lizard. This kind of visual effect is Industrial Light & Magic's specialty, but The truck driver who has been following the comics feels that the Green Goblin is the core villain, and the dual-personality villain has more dramatic tension on the screen, so he directly opposed Roland's idea.

However, Roland will not insist on who the villain is like the first two points. If the old man insists on filming the Green Goblin, then Roland can also follow the other party's wishes, but there is one thing that he is a bit stubborn-he wants to The first part of "Spider-Man" was made into a fresh campus style, which is the feeling of the big boy next door and a good neighbor like the Dutch brother "Return of the Hero". The emotional line of "Spider-Man" is relatively heavy, and the third part will be filmed as a life crisis style like Xiao Lizi's good friend, wandering between responsibility and ability.

After all, having said that, it is a bit strange to let him, who is only fifteen years old in reality, make a movie like the old version of "Spider-Man" that is similar to Dark Wind! And what Tom Hanks taught him is how to be the hero next door, and suddenly change the way of the play, isn't that the same as scheduled performances hitting the street?

Because of this, when facing James' question, Roland babbled a lot, and when James finished listening, this guy didn't care about style at all, and asked A question that has nothing to do with horses and cattle.

"Who do you want to play Uncle Ben or Aunt Mei?"

This brain circuit jumps a little fast?

Roland complained in his heart, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Hanks and Streep are the best candidates in my mind."

"..." Not only were the Olsen couple speechless this time, but even James froze on the spot, "Are you serious?"

"Of course! Don't you think it's okay?" Roland thinks there's nothing wrong with it. Others may not be able to invite them, but he only needs a phone call. As long as the schedule doesn't conflict, these people will save face!

"No, I just think it's a bit expensive." James touched his nose, and said again: "Then if it's Dr. Lizard, who are you going to invite? And if it's the Green Goblin, who are you going to invite?"

Dr. Lizard and Green Goblin?

Roland has thought about this question many times.

"For a guy with a split personality like the Green Goblin, it is of course best to cast Anthony Hopkins. Hollywood should not find a second villain with a split personality that is more charming than him."

"Son of the Green Goblin, if Leonardo DiCaprio wants to, that's for the best."

"And Dr. Lizard, a guy who dares to fight hard in a desperate situation, let Robert De Niro come there absolutely..."

At this moment, Roland is simply a lifetime member of Taobao.com!

After seeing that serious face, the corners of James' mouth twitched instantly.

Although he understands that what Roland said is the best choice now, and the guys Roland reported are all iron relationships that can directly bypass the agent and make a phone call to finalize the project, but he still wants to say something to Roland —

Your special is really whimsical!

Tom Hanks + Meryl Streep + (Anthony Hopkins + Leonardo DiCaprio) or Robert De Niro? ? ?

This is not an Olympic film!

A superhero movie, you really use a full-fledged team to make it?

Go crazy!

But if Roland knew what James was thinking at the moment, he wouldn't think there was any problem.

Anthony Hopkins, who played Odin in Marvel in his previous life, Robert De Niro, appeared in "Joker".

Superhero movies are not inferior, so why not use them?

Roland wants to make Spider-Man the best it can be!

If you can find the number one, you will never look for a substitute!

What's more, in terms of selecting candidates, the truck driver has praised Roland's vision!

Taking two deep breaths, James, who was about to be injured internally by Roland's beep, asked the last curiosity in his heart.

"Then... are you sure about the heroine?"

Hearing this question, Roland was a little sad.

To be honest, Kirsten Dunst, who played Mary Jane in the old version of "Spider-Man" in her previous life, was also a member of the Jewish Gang.

The movie that made his debut was "New York Story" co-directed by Woody Allen, Francis Coppola and Martin Scorsese.

Later, she also played Tom Hanks' daughter in Brian Palmer's "The Nightmare".

She is also a good friend of Sofia Coppola, who wants to use her in every movie.

The point is that the age is almost the same as Roland.

In addition, it is naturally the niece Bryce Howard recommended by Clint Eastwood.

and Scarlett Johansson recommended by Francis Coppola.

Of course, these are the candidates given by those guys.

Roland himself thought of Rachel McAdams or Charlize Theron.

Rachel's "The Notebook", "The Time Traveler's Wife", and "The Time Traveler" impressed him deeply; not to mention Theron, if she is chosen, someone who revisits the movie in the future may find that , the whole movie from top to bottom, all special codes are Oscar winners!

Emmmmm…

Well, Roland had a showdown, actually because both of them are beautiful.

╮(╯▽╰)╭

As for age...

Rachel is two years older than him, and Theron is only five years old. In addition, Europeans and Americans are precocious, so there seems to be no problem.

You know, in "Far From Heroes", Spider's crush is six years older than him!

However, Roland will not be able to decide who to choose in the end, and the script will have to wait until Cameron returns from filming "True Lies" to discuss and communicate, so Roland is also going to kick the most painful ball to the other party.

After all, the truck driver is the director of the film!

Roland never dared to lose the virtue of respecting (throwing) the old (black) and loving (potting) the young!

(ω)

After chatting with James about "Spider-Man", the dinner was actually coming to an end. Roland, who was full, took the three little lolis out for a walk, and then handed it over to Ganetti to wash up. By the way, read them a bedtime story.

Early the next morning, I went to Disney, and yelled twice in the other party's audition room.

Disney was quite satisfied with the effect Roland showed.

However, since the movie is not yet finished, Roland was asked to come over to dub the film at the end of March and early April.

In this way, Roland's job is actually to meet Ang Lee.

I made a phone call with Mike McDavoy and got his number. After a brief communication, AngLee, who was full of excitement, said on the other end of the phone that he would bring "Diet Man and Woman" to meet him immediately.

Note: ①In the old version of "Spider-Man", the setting of Tobey Maguire's spider silk that was not working at all times was indeed made by Cameron. The old man wanted to shoot Dark Spider-Man from the beginning. Fallen to rise from the ashes. As for what has been changed, it is actually the story flow. The old version was based on Marvel's "Ultimate Spider-Man" published in 2000, and then copied Cameron's settings. "The Amazing Spider-Man" is based on the comic of the same name. As for the version of the second generation of Iron Man by the Dutch brother, it is not correct. Iron Man also upgraded his battle suit, but because he had to take off his headgear to become a civil servant, the little spider whose identity was exposed caused Aunt Mei to be seriously injured, and then the little spider destroyed the suit and stood on the side of the US team up. ②The Green Goblin written in the article is not Cameron's version of Boss. According to the content published by the Script Association, the version submitted by Cameron in 1991 was Doctor Octopus, played by Schwarzenegger.

PS, can you help me find a heroine, I'm stuck in a difficult choice.
