Chapter 217 I think I have
To describe the movie "A Couple Born" in one sentence, it is the story of a pair of plain-faced masked twin sisters reuniting their parents who have been divorced for more than ten years to reorganize their family. It sounds absurd, but in fact, the story , full of warmth.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with Disney being the producer.
Disney’s children’s movie, isn’t the purpose of filming popcorn for family fun?
It is precisely because of Disney's persistence that Roland chose this film.
The Olsen sisters in the previous life ran wildly on the road of transformation after they were teenagers.
Blindly wanted to prove that he had grown up, and fell in love with men of the same age on the screen, without even considering that his figure was not attractive to the audience at all.
A loli is just a loli, and if she falls in love with a mature boy of the same age, isn't that a clear attempt to convey the idea of ??child molestation?
It is true that the reason why the Olsen sisters chose this way had a lot to do with the divorce of their parents.
Those who are struggling in Hollywood hope that they can leave a mature image to the outside world, instead of being cute and naive before.
You can't say that their ideas are wrong, but this approach is undoubtedly killing the chicken and picking the egg.
Those films can make money, purely consuming the popularity of the Olsen sisters themselves.
Now, the Olsen couple are in a good relationship. With their family harmonious and their elder brother beeping, they are pretending to be mature, and the audience doesn't recognize it! Roland Allen didn't find a girlfriend until he was seventeen. You two are six years younger than him. Are you talking now?
Your behavior is more anxious than James' appearance, okay?
In this way, the warmth brought by a complete family is the best label for the two of them.
Roland's consistent thinking is that a good performance is not as good as a good role. As long as the role is pleasing, even mediocre acting skills can be loved by the public.
What's more, if he remembers correctly, the movie in his previous life sold nearly 100 million box office under the interpretation of Lindsay Lohan. can exceed this figure.
The box office of the first movie that takes the lead alone can exceed 100 million?
This kind of result is already terrifying. After all, not everyone, but Roland, who has read the answer, is a hang beep!
As for the Olsen sisters and the original starring, Lindsay Lohan's acting skills gap?
Although Lindsay Lohan played two roles in "A Couple Made With Me", all the basic skills are average, the most obvious is the British accent, which gives people a cheap feeling of being rushed, and those praise films The good media has never commented on her acting skills from the beginning to the end, either saying that she is cute, or that she is talking about the extraordinary special effects.
Even if the talents of the Olsen sisters are mediocre, after more than seven years of filming, they can surpass Lindsay Lohan with their craftsmanship alone.
As for the face?
Among the child stars of all ages, Shirley Temple is the only one who can rank ahead of the Olsen sisters.
Lindsay Lohan, who is in her teens, has freckles on her face, and the Olsen sisters rely on their faces for food.
From the age of one, I started to attract fans with my face, until I successfully changed careers in my twenties.
Even if the movie sucks, they can still make a lot of money off the tape.
After that, sister Elizabeth can also win the world with her face.
Compared with the extraordinary talent of the patriarch to eat and eat, this kind of blessing from God is even more terrifying, okay?
Just like a fairy, even if it becomes a plus version, no expert can make that face out.
The popularity of fans brought by looks is innate, and no one else can envy her.
What's more, Roland didn't have the slightest psychological pressure to grab Lindsay Lohan's project.
Bah...
This is not called grabbing a chance at all, but saving a girl who will fall because of her popularity!
It is precisely because the Olsen sisters have all-round advantages that when Roland arrived at the Disney studio in Burbank, the film's director Nancy Meyers and producer Charles Scheer had already finished modeling. The sisters were full of praise.
When Roland, who regarded the rules as nothing, took Kate to hide aside, and witnessed the Olsen sisters perform a paragraph to the script according to the requirements of the director and producer, and heard the excited words after watching the scene, which made him smile.
"Ashley, your British accent is of a good standard. This is the most perfect pronunciation I have heard since the public audition!"
Producer Charles Schell made no secret of his surprise.
However, Ashley pouted and said unhappily: "But my sister still said that my pronunciation is not up to my brother's standard."
"Sister?" Charles Shell repeated the title, puzzled.
He has been in the industry since the end of the 1960s. He has made many movies and met many people. Although the celebrity is not very big, the series "New Father-in-law" can also give him a place in the circle.
He is boasting now, but the person directly refuted it?
this…
But before he was in embarrassment and asked, Mary on the side had already comforted her mischievously, "Then why don't you say it, Kate also said that Roland has practiced an accent for eight years, and he is only at the level of normal communication, and his language talent is not as good as ours. OK!"
have to…
The elder sister that Ashley mentioned is Kate Winslet, and the skill target is Roland Allen?
Can't afford to mess with...
Coffee is justice, and Charles Schell doesn't want to get entangled in such trivial matters as the accent.
Nancy Meyers also helped him out, knelt down and said to Mary with a smile: "Mary, you are so cute when you lose your temper. When I watched "Full House" before, as long as I saw eye-rolling movements, I would say I can be sure that you played it, otherwise..."
"It's all Ashley."
"Really? Then you guessed wrong, Ashley will too."
Before the words fell, the two little lolis rolled their eyes at the same time with a tacit understanding.
The pouting look of aggrieved doormat made the surrounding staff chuckle.
"The two of them are cute too." Kate, who was watching from a distance, put her hands in her pockets and said with emotion.
"If people who rely on their looks are not cute, there will be no market." Roland directly told the truth.
"Really? Then why are you willing to find projects for my sisters who rely on their looks, but not movies for me who rely on skills?" Kate asked a commonplace question.
However, this time, Roland did not bluntly say No, but deliberately said: "If you are willing to play their mother..."
"...Then I don't mind either!"
"Although you are only eleven years apart, let's dress up..."
Danger!
Roland felt that the advantage was great, so Roland **** off, and before he finished speaking, Roland had already played GG!
Snapped!
Kate grabbed Roland's arm, "Do you think I'm old?"
"No." Roland shivered, pretending to shake his head like a rattle.
"Say more if you can." Kate didn't hold back, and smiled from the corner of her eyes.
"Really not." Congxin's Roland was still acting there.
"Sleep on the sofa tonight." Kate directly used the way Roland threatened Elizabeth early in the morning.
"Then who should I hug and cry now?" Roland looked at Kate aggrieved.
Four eyes met, paused for a few seconds, and the two of them laughed at the same time.
The hand holding Roland's arm slid down, made a turn, intertwined each other and typed a character eight, and then slipped back into his pocket.
"I read the cast list of "A Couple Made For You" before. The actor who plays Ashley and Mary's mother is Natasha Richardson. She is from the Redgrave family. She was previously in "Sense and Sensibility" When I won the award, my mother asked her mother Vanessa."
"Vanessa? Who is Vanessa?"
"Vanessa Redgrave! In 1978, she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for "Julia."
"Oh, her? I remembered. In 1992, your aunt had a film "Howards End". She acted in it. It seems that she was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress? Your aunt just won the Best Actress? "
"That's right, Anthony Hopkins and Helena Carter are also there. It was because of this movie that my aunt realized that something was wrong with my uncle. The feelings of my uncle and Helena made her aware of the danger."
"Oh, the relationship between you guys is really messed up... Uh, don't look at me like that, I don't mean to learn, okay... Is your name Natasha sister or aunt? If you know her very well, Do you still want to say hello to her?"
"Tch, don't you know her well?"
Kate didn't bother to pay attention to Roland, and gave him a hygienic eye, and then pulled him to the center.
As they appeared, excited greetings followed.
"Oh, Roland! Hi, Kate! I didn't expect you to come too!"
The entertainment industry is so small.
Acquaintances as small as the crew of "A Natural Couple" can fill up the entire notebook.
Producer Charles Scheer and director Nancy Meyers are both friends of Diane Keaton. Roland didn't need to take advantage of others or bother Meryl Streep. Among all the audition personnel, find the best choice for the cast.
Dennis Quaid, who plays the father of two little Lolitas, is a friend of Daniel Stern.
Daniel Stern is the bearded thief in Home Alone.
As for the heroine Natasha Richardson, don’t look at what Kate said she was from such a family, but in fact, her current identity can be summed up in one sentence—the strongest dad on the surface, Liam— Neeson's wife.
There is no need to repeat the relationship between Liam Neeson and the Jewish gang.
In the case where the producer, director, and leading actor are all acquaintances, Roland just showed his face, and he has already taken the lead. Before he can speak, the process has already changed from negotiating the schedule to negotiating the salary.
This kind of behavior is actually understandable...
The coffee position determines the right to speak.
Now that Roland is in Hollywood, that's what I want and what I get.
In fact, after learning that Roland had taken a fancy to "A Couple Born", and hoped that the Olsen sisters would play the role, Disney had already issued an order, and all financing ideas were mainly to meet Roland's needs.
As long as he can continue to make money, let alone go sideways at Sony and Fox, the treatment given by the other four companies is the same.
Huge profits make you our daddy.
Of course, Roland is not that kind of harsh person, you open the door to me, I can't think of climbing the window, right?
Although it would be ideal for the Olsen sisters to take 18 points, they obviously couldn't get Roland's price.
After a simple negotiation between the two parties, the final remuneration was set at 5% of the overall income.
To put it more simply, as long as this project can generate follow-up income, even if I die, you still have to give me money!
Otherwise, my rotten voice will cry in your ears through the coffin panels—
"Fash money!"
To be honest, this percentage is actually acceptable to the producers, but for Disney who learned of the result, it was a severe pain in the flesh, because they never forgot that "The Lion King" every year, I have to give Roland some money!
Extraordinary, this pitfall that only takes money but doesn’t work is here again!
However, it’s a pain in the ass. When Disney chairman Michael Eisner heard the news, he sent a letter to inform the entire company of the cooperation between Disney and Roland as if a major event had happened.
The purpose is also very simple, just to disgust that disobedient Miramax.
I can't kick you away now, I'm really sick of you.
Seeing the Disney group announcement, Harvey, that fat man, looked angry. Because of the big victory of "The English Patient", he instantly returned to his original cold appearance, "Michael is really shameless!"
"You can't convince me yourself, so you pull outsiders to punish me?"
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
Bang bang bang!
Harvey slapped the table several times in a row, and the dull sound made Bob sigh helplessly.
Bob knew that his brother was incompetent and furious, but he couldn't help it. This is the tragedy of the weak!
"Forget it, Harvey."
"Roland and we are not in the same circle."
"He will never be able to compete in the Olympics, and we will not do business, so don't think about some things!"
"We will not come back for revenge."
"I'm just angry!" Harvey took a deep breath and said angrily, "I obviously gave him the copyright for nothing!"
"We did give away the copyright for free, but you can't stop him from cooperating with Disney!"
Bob hoped that his brother would think about it, "This time, Roland was looking for a new project for the Olsen sisters, and it happened to be in Disney's hands. Michael also used this to disgust us, and it didn't cause us any real harm. sexual harm."
"If you are really angry, use your power on next year's Oscars."
"Isn't "Good Will Hunting" going to be the best picture? Isn't "Wings of the Dove" going to be the best actress?"
"Isn't it good for us to spend our energy on this?"
"Hey..." Harvey waved his hand, signaling his brother to stop talking.
He also knew that he could only get angry, and he couldn't do anything else.
Compared with the brothers, Roland was not very moved when he learned that Disney had made the announcement.
He didn't know that he was being used by Disney, but even if he knew, he didn't care.
As long as Harvey is unhappy, he is happy, because he can't be as happy as Harvey!
After neatly finalizing the project of "A Couple Born", Roland returned to his two-point and one-line life. He went to DreamWorks during the day, and Kate followed the progress of the crew while watching and learning, while he nestled on Spielberg's big sofa Think about the script.
So much so that when Spielberg came back from filming "The Tide of Breaking Locks", he was already able to recite his only few lines backwards! But before he could show the results of his study to the old man, the old man took the lead and said: "Okay, okay, don't read the script here, someone invites us to dinner, you go back and change your clothes, and then go to my house and talk to me." I meet."
"By the way, it's up to you to bring your family or not, anyway, everyone is your own..."
"However, you'd better say hello, I guess it will be very late tonight..."
Note: ① Lindsay was really freckled when she was a child. Of course, their aesthetics are different from ours. They think they are cute when they have freckles. If freckles are cute, then Shirley Temple and the Olsen sisters will not be ranked first or second. ②The Redgrave family, the top of the family tree is Roy Redgrave, a movie star in the silent film period, earlier than Chaplin, and the next one is Michael Redgrave, Cannes actor, British jazz, and then Vanessa Redgrave, five-time Oscar nominee, Colin Redgrave, Laurence Olivier winner, and Lynn Redgrave, two-time Golden Globe winner, In the same era as Elizabeth Taylor, in 1967, she was nominated for an Oscar with her sister Vanessa in "Morgan" for "Georgie Girl", but in the end both sisters lost to "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf "The Jade Po.
