Chapter 41 Thinking in my heart (Happy National Day)

after an hour.

"Cut! Good..."

"Go ahead, Roland, we are only one shot away from sprinting on the snow and then falling down."

When Chris Columbus called Roland's name, Roland, who was watching for a while, didn't have the excitement that Mitsuha Miyamizu had when he saw Tachibana Taki, but sat on the skateboard without interest.

With the special effects team taking over, what should have been an extremely exciting play scene was quite boring.

After a coherent movement is dismembered and fragmented, it is much worse to face the senses directly. However, even so, with the fiddling of those stunt teams, Roland also understands how to shoot this kind of sprint shot.

Sitting on the skateboard, under the wanton pull of the staff, Roland in the state of "sprinting" made an extremely exaggerated expression, his eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he screamed heart-piercingly , that terrified look, like a crew member who was thrown out of the plane by a war machine, seemed to be shouting loudly enough, but it seemed more like a real expression of fear. This scene is over.

And when Roland took the mineral water from Mohamy after the show, there was a complaint in his ear.

"Your expression just now was too exaggerated."

What?

Do you understand!

Roland, who didn't enjoy the excitement of skateboarding, rolled his eyes at the other party, and retorted in a low voice: "We are shooting a comedy, which is full of exaggerated actions."

"Besides, I'm still playing a brat."

"When the bear kid was playing skateboarding at home, he found that he couldn't brake and was helpless. Of course, he would express his panic appropriately!"

Mohammy did not comment on Roland's explanation.

After eating Roland's contemptuous look in vain, he received the mineral water bottle that the other party returned.

Under his gaze, Roland, who was wrapped in a thick padded jacket, was like a stupid bear, scrambling towards the monitor.

Because of the thick snow, Roland's body was crooked when walking.

Yes, the crew has snow.

You read that right, the crew in Los Angeles has snow.

When he first joined the crew, Roland did not realize that the crew was equipped with a snow-making vehicle because they were shooting interior scenes. At that time, Roland thought that such things as snow would be directly synthesized with post-production technology, but he didn't realize it. After the stage, the set designers of the crew directly turned the Los Angeles studio into the North Pole. However, these supernatural set designers did not use high-power snow-making vehicles, but spread a kind of polymer resin around the site, Then pour water on top.

This material, which Roland has never seen before, will turn into negative ions after absorbing water, showing the appearance of snow.

The temperature of artificial snow made of powder can reach 30 degrees. Heating will not melt it, and setting it on fire will only burn it. Only calcium salt can melt them. Because of their existence, John Hughes and Chris Columbus dared to set the filming location of the crew in Los Angeles, because even if they went elsewhere to film, they had to make artificial snow.

"Director, do you have any shots to shoot today?"

When Roland finished watching his performance and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, he immediately tore off the old padded jacket on his body because of his hot body.

As the costume was taken off, the sweaty back appeared in front of everyone.

No way, who made the temperature in Los Angeles more than 20 degrees?

Wearing winter clothes in this kind of temperature is either filming, or the brain is broken.

"Oh, are you sweating so much?"

"Hurry up and take off your makeup and wash off."

"We'll stop here today, we won't shoot in the afternoon."

"Joe and I have something to do. We'll have it at two o'clock."

After Columbus finished speaking, he threw all the work on the set to the assistant director in the group.

Joe Pesci, who had already taken off his costume, put on a straight suit and got into the pick-up vehicle prepared by his assistant.

Looking at the figure of the car driving away quickly, Roland shrugged.

This is the first time he has seen such a situation where the director and the leading role quit at the same time.

However, Roland can understand their behavior, because today is March 26, and the Oscar will be held today.

The filming started for more than a month. When the crew completed the daily shooting tasks in an orderly manner, the gossip news that Roland heard on the first day of joining the crew finally came to fruition. With the 62nd Academy Awards held at the Los Angeles Music Center Held, the major awards that have been hyped for several months were also announced one by one: Tom Cruise undoubtedly missed the best actor; "Driving Miss Daisy" unexpectedly won the best picture; Jessica Tan Dee became the oldest actress in history at the age of 80 years and 293 days; and Oliver Stone won the best director trophy for the second time in four years...

Of course, the news above is far less ferocious than Denzel Washington winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

No way, who made the news of Mandela’s release turned into posters and appeared in every corner of America?

If there are no black people on this year's Oscars, then this matter may become even more troublesome.

However, even if these things are being discussed, they have nothing to do with Roland.

For him, it doesn't matter who wins the Oscar.

He won't become rich because those people won Oscars, and those people won't establish a relationship with Roland because they won the award, and want to support him on a whim.

Roland, who has memories of his previous life, knows in his heart that the Oscars are nothing more than an annual show, and being nominated already proves everything, because the final award has nothing to do with art.

After the Oscars ceremony, the entire crew rested for two days because the director and leading actors couldn't be there. During these two days of vacation, Roland, who had nothing to do, directly asked David for some pocket money , and then asked Mohamy to accompany him to the Great Western Forum and watched a Los Angeles Derby.

The Los Angeles Lakers of this era do not have the prestige of the Purple and Gold Legion. Skyhook Kareem has retired, and there are only Magic Johnson and Cobra Worthy, and the magician Pat Riley who is still coaching will also be here. After the end of the season, the seal left; but even so, the Lakers, who could not do anything, still won the victory with a seven-point advantage when the Magician was rested. It is a pity that because he did not see the heroic performance of the Magician, Roland was a little bit Pity.

However, even though he was unable to witness the Showtime of the Zijin Dynasty with his own eyes due to the wrong travel time, Roland, who was watching the game on the spot, still found a lot of bright spots. After scoring six points and three rebounds, Roland, who was standing by the player's tunnel, successfully got an autograph from the other party at the end of the game.

Of course, this is also related to Roland wearing the opponent's jersey.

Regarding Roland's behavior, Mohamy was a little curious, "Why don't you buy a magician's jersey and ask them to sign it? I heard that season ticket audiences are treated like this!"

"Even if you don't like magicians, Cobra Worthy and Byron Scott are more famous than him, right?"

"Why don't you ask them to sign?"

Facing Mohamy's question, Roland rolled his eyes directly.

This kind of thing is hard to explain.

Because after six years, when the logo man Divac is traded to the Hornets, he will still take this jersey to the Great Western Forum Arena and ask the boy Kobe for an autograph, as long as the other party is willing to be here. If more than one ball is left, the value of the jersey will definitely rise in a straight line like a rocket.

Don't blow it up, this jersey with the number 12 on it, after having those two signatures, its value will definitely exceed the commemorative model with the number 8 and the 24th, even if it is not worth 100 million, an Oscar There are still golden statuettes.

Thinking that he might appear in "Dear Basketball" in the future, Roland became a little excited.

As the guy who welcomed Kobe to the Lakers with Divac's jersey, he's sure to go down in history.

Of course, for Roland, as long as it can be remembered by history, it is enough.

He will not be brothers with Kobe.

Because he was afraid that one day the other party would suddenly say "Roland did it too".

At that time, it was not fun.

After two days of rest, Roland returned to the crew refreshed.

Although Columbus and the others still did not allow Roland to take those dangerous scenes, Roland, who was looking for excitement, didn't care.

Now he feels that filming in the crew is a very comfortable life.

During the day, he was able to communicate and exchange ideas with his peers. When he was free, he could chat with Mohami and talk about games. At night, after returning home, the envious eyes on his face made him feel even more Double face.

That's right, since Roland joined the filming group, he didn't have to go to school, and he became a child from another family in James' eyes.

No need to do homework, no need to worry about credits, no need to abide by school rules, no need to be nagged by mother...

The kind of free and carefree days is the longing life in James' eyes.

But unfortunately, no matter how envious he is, David can't let him go out to film.

So many people in the family have gone out, do you still want to join in the fun?

Dream!

"Hey, Roland, I really envy you that you don't have to go to school!"

"You know what? After you left, the days when I was alone in school were so boring!"

"There is a lot of homework and homework. After school every day, the football team's training is even more annoying..."

"I really want to apply for home education like you, but the problem is, my dad doesn't agree at all."

"Why don't you go and talk about it for me?"

"As long as my dad agrees, you are my best brother!"

The words like chanting scriptures immediately made Roland laugh.

"Then according to what you mean, if I don't get things done, our brothers can't do it?"

James was taken aback for a moment, and then he was about to change his head like a rattle, "How is that possible!"

"Even if my dad disagrees, we are best brothers!"

This quick change of words caused Roland to roll his eyes, raised his arm, put it on the other's shoulder, and made a look of helplessness, "James, just save yourself, your father will definitely not let you study at home. "

"Ashley and Mary went out to film, which already made him very dissatisfied. If you still want to provoke your father by studying this matter, I think you will die miserably."

The sincere words made James turn pale, he sighed for a while, and then he gave up.

He knew what Roland said was true, and he also knew that his father would pay close attention to his studies.

Since the situation is hopeless, James is not too entangled in this kind of matter. While putting away his depression, he also hopes to pull Roland into the water, "Oh, yes, it doesn't matter if I can't study at home, what about you?"

"This movie has been filming for more than two months, and work will be over on the tenth day of next month. Don't you want to go back to school with me after all the crew's affairs are dealt with?"

"Don't tell me that you have a film contract, such words can't fool me at all."

"You're not Ashley and the others. What you're making is a movie, not a TV show. After this one is finished, if it doesn't catch on, there shouldn't be another one, right? At that time, you won't be able to stay at home any longer. .”

The words of needing to be beaten made Roland want to hit someone.

What does it mean that if there is no popularity, there should be no next one?

Can't you say something nice?

However, even if James' words were harsh, Roland could not deny that what the other party said was a fact.

The filming day of "Home Alone" will be the time when he will lose his job. At that time, with Mohamy's departure, whether Roland has to go back to school to continue his studies is a question on the table.

Although Roland can be an ostrich, he will think about it after the incident happens.

But no matter how long the delay is, Roland has no good solution.

Because of David and Ganetti, it is impossible to find projects for themselves as before.

"Home Alone" is a rare classic. Roland wants to find an equivalent masterpiece that can rival it when he is unknown?

That’s just a dream…

So, just like what James said, Roland also felt that before the movie was released, he should not think about messing around or looking for good projects. If he had this spare time, he might as well experience the life of a primary school student in America.

Anyway, in the school here, it is impossible to have an elementary school student named Kudo Shinichi.

He doesn't have to worry at all, his life will be threatened.

Of course, besides going to school, he can also communicate with Mohamedo at other times.

Wasn’t this guy short of money in the early days of his business?

After the movie is released, isn't he, Roland, rich?

(ˇˇ)

And when James mentioned the study, Roland, who was counting on his fingers, also found a problem.

The film crew will close the filming, that will be in mid-May.

At that time, all elementary schools in America will enter the summer vacation.

No need to go to school during the summer vacation!

In that case, why doesn't he have some fun?

For example, let Auntie Garnettie take everyone out on vacation.

Either tell David in the name of James that your son wants to go to Chicago to watch Jordan perform.

It doesn't matter if you didn't see the yellow-green battle between the magician and the big bird, it's okay to witness the gang leader's two and three consecutive championships!

Anyway, being idle is idle. Instead of staying at home and being an otaku, why not go out and have fun?

After all, if nothing unexpected happened—

After "Home Alone" is released, he won't be as relaxed as he is now.

Mohami didn't know that the little kid who stayed with him every day was planning to invest (press) capital (squeeze) himself in what name; Ganetti didn't know that this friend's son He was ready to instigate (bring) his two daughters; James didn't even know that there was a big, black pot that was about to be buckled on his head.

Just when everyone thought that Roland, who was seriously filming, was a rare and good seed—

This guy has already planned his summer life a long time ago.

In Roland's view, even if God came, he couldn't stop his summer travel plan.

This is not only because David and Ganetti have no intention of helping him find projects, but also because he has sorted out his memory and determined that there have been no blockbuster children's movies in the past few years.

In this case, what else can he do if he doesn't go on vacation?

Because I have something in my heart, time flies by.

As Xiaoshenyang said, Roland, who was concentrating on making movies and waiting for time to enjoy the holiday, really experienced what it means to close and open the eyes, and a day passes.

However, just when Roland thought that the day the movie was finished was the day James would take the blame...

Chris Columbus suddenly found him.
