Chapter 43 Excessive force
After Rnd joined the group, he was modest and eager to learn, and he asked the bosses in the group a lot of questions in the circle.
After all, the memories in his head are all public information from his previous life.
The news can give him what people think of as a superior vision, but if he really refines the ssification and analyzes the entire business in depth, then his eyes will be dimmed and he will know nothing.
And the mazes that those big bosses pointed out casually can make Rnd feel enlightened.
Among them, the problem of role operation is naturally included.
In fact, if it weren''t for the special agreement reached by Chris Columbus and John Hughes, the protagonist of the "Home Alone" project would not have flowed into Rnd''s hands. A business investment of 15 million is not a child''s y. No matter how Chris Columbus and John Hughes have ideas, they dare not joke about Fox''s money.
As for the second male and female second?
These roles are not just obtained through rtionships.
It is simply impossible to spend money to buy corners here.
Because in the face of the capital industry chain, no one will struggle with their jobs.
Of course, there are also guys who join the group based on connections, but those guys get small roles.
Take "Captain Hook" as an example. Gwh Paltrow did enter the group as Steven Spielberg''s goddaughter, but her shots are less than half a minute That''s all; and Sofia Copp''s total appearances in "The Godfather" directed by his father did not exceed two minutes.
The close friends of these big bosses can''t get their hands on the protagonist of the crew. Now Rnd can directly skip the first two rounds of auditions, which is already a very good result.
To put it bluntly, just the resources in front of me can make a lot of people envious when they are released.
When many people were fighting for the ticket to enter the door, Rnd was directly born in the destiny circle.
Of course, just when Rnd thought that director Chris Columbus had said a lot of good things for him, or that it was the rtionship with director Howard that gave him the upper hand, but these guys didn''t want to put too much pressure on him and didn''t When not directly stated.
Chris Columbus gave a different exnation.
"Do you think I rmended you?"
"Oh, Rnd, you are so cute."
"Steven did tell us about "Captain Hook" before, but I didn''t actually think about you."
"Do you remember that "Change" you yed in your audition?"
"Actually, David Bowie is the Captain Hook that Steven originally chose."
"This project was established in 1985, but at that time, Steven''s eldest son came suddenly. In order to apany his child, he didn''t want to go to the UK to film, so he handed over the project to other people. "
"And after Steven quit, David Bowie also refused."
"Because of this, this project has been dragged until now."
Yes, ording to director Robert Zemeckis'' guidance, the song "Change" that Rnd yed at the "Home Alone" audition was the two casting directors who recalled his root.
In their view, Rnd, who "likes" David Bowie, may be more to Spielberg''s appetite.
No matter how Rnd thinks, he will never guess that David Bowie may be his lucky star.
A "Change" not only changed the choice of John Hughes, changed the thinking of Chris Columbus, changed the fate of Macay Culkin, but also changed his future of Rnd Allen...
"This...really is a great singer."
After listening to the information Chris Columbus brought to him, Rnd was filled with emotions.
To be honest, if it wasn''t for the attack on John Hughes, Rnd would never have listened to John Hughes'' songs.
And now, when Rnd discovered that these big names in Hollywood seemed to respect David Bowie very much.
His gaze naturally shifted to the other party.
After the y, Rnd asked Mohamy to drive him to an audio-visual product store and bought all the audio-visual products of David Bowie since his debut. Not only that, the videotape of "Peter Pan" mentioned by Columbus before, It was also included in the bag by Rnd.
After finishing all this, the two continued to go to the chain bookstore to buy books rted to "Peter Pan".
When Rnd returned home with a bunch of things, Gti, who didn''t know the cause and effect, was frightened by the sudden sight.
Following his exnation, the whole family was stunned when they learned what had happened.
"Rnd, can you repeat what you just said?" Gti suspected that his ears had misheard, "You said that director Chris came to you today and asked if you want to participate in another movie?"
"And this movie is actually Spielberg''s project?"
"You bought so many books and videotapes just to prepare for the new role?"
"Yeah..." Looking at the dazed face, Rnd felt that his neck was about to break.
Although he really wanted to say No to calm everyone down, but—
You really can’t lie about this kind of thing!
Following his answer, exmations suddenly rose.
James looked at Rnd dully, and covered his cheeks with his hands.
"Damn..."
"Rnd! This is a great opportunity!"
"If you are selected by director Spielberg, then you will definitely be popr!"
"When I go out, I can say that I am your Rnd''s brother!"
"Rnd, you must work hard,e here, I will help you move your things back..."
Looking at the earnest figure, Rnd wanted tough.
Although there seems to be a problem with James'' focus, his words are correct.
None of the guys who are favored by Spielberg are not popr.
Just a TV series "Band of Brothers", I don''t know how many big names have been attracted.
This kind of project without his full follow-up has such influence, and its star-making ability can be imagined.
Not to mention, if Rnd wins this project, his fame at the box office is actually an incidental.
What really excited Rnd was the possibility of joining the Jewish gang.
Of course, although he was directly pushed into the final round by two casting directors, it didn''t mean that Rnd could sit back and rx.
You know, in Spielberg''s project, no one can influence his opinion!
Even if you are his father! (see note ②)
So, when James helped Rnd move everything into the house, Rnd, who closed the door, started a new round of preparations based on the information provided by Columbus: ording to the information disclosed by Columbus, in addition to getting to know David Bow Wei, in addition to knowing "Peter Pan", if you have time, you have to learn the British ent.
Peter Pan is British, and the storyline of "Captain Hook" is also linked to the United Kingdom. In this case, a fluent Oxford ent ispletely in line with the status of awyer''s son in a high society.
Although this is just an inconspicuous skill, or in other words, if a Hollywood actor doesn''t know multiple ents, then he can''t go out to meet people at all, but if this skill is put in the children''s group, it may be a camel crush thest straw.
Because, even in a family that expects a child to be a dragon, there are not many parents who will emphasize this skill.
More people prefer to spend time on a series of skills that can be seen, touched, and disyed, such as ballet and piano.
In addition, many crews will choose actors from different ces of origin ording to the needs of the characters. For example, if they need an actor with a British ent, they will directly choose the British, and if they need an actor with a Texas ent, they will directly choose the Texans. In this case, The possibility of young actors learning an ent is even smaller.
After all, for child actors, time is money.
And, ording to what Columbus heard from the two audition directors.
The ?? ent may be a focus of Spielberg''s attention during the audition.
"You want to find a speaking teacher? Want to learn the Oxford ent of the upper ss and the Cockney ent of the working ss?"
"Okay Rnd, I have to admit, you gave me a big surprise."
"I never thought that you could get this audition."
"As for the ent? How is that different from an open-book exam?"
"Don''t worry, within three days, I will help you find a qualified oral English teacher."
"Based on when you shoot, they shoulde over at night and teach you."
Speaking of this, David suddenly paused, nced at Rnd with obscure eyes, and then continued: "However, before that, I want to ask, are you sure?"
"Can it be done in one go like the project "Home Alone"?"
“For the first time, I discovered that it costs so much money to train an actor.”
"Maybe it''s because Ashley and Mary have never encountered such a thing before."
Although David''s words were full ofints, Rnd could tell that he was just curious.
Because Rnd''s situation is different from the state of all actors when they became famous.
Ashley and Mary were instant hits, and after they became popr, they all received scripts that they acted in their true colors; and the situation of other actors was simr. At the beginning of their fame, no one would be like Rnd, who would directly incarnate into four A beast that swallows gold with its feet.
The vast majority of people enter the show business circle, isn''t it just for money?
Can''t make money and still put money in it?
This kind of behavior is not called investment at all for the guys in the mixed circle, but brain damage.
But Rnd is different.
Let’s not talk about the stealing in the time loop, just the subsequent film contract, let David burn a million, and now, in order to participate in the audition of "Captain Hook", he has to continue to invest and continue to learn.
This kind of behavior of only going out but not going in, if it was in an ordinary family, it would have been PASSed long ago.
Want to act?
Want to get the project?
Make money by yourself!
However, for Rnd, these are normal.
Skills are something that you can use once you learn them. There is no loss or loss.
Even if the words are a little harsher, the cost of learning skills is actually equivalent to spending money to buy opportunities.
It''s like those rich kids who spend money to go to Stanford, Yale, and Southern California. If you learn that after spending money to learn one or more skills, you have a high probability of beating other candidates and bing Spielberg. When a member of the grid movie.
Even if the cost is tens of thousands of dors, hundreds of thousands of dors, or even millions of dors, some people will take a gamble.
Because this is a deal with guaranteed capital.
Once a skill is learned, no one can take it away.
Next, whether you seed or not, you will not lose.
Of course, Rnd couldn''t give what David wanted to hear.
Because he doesn''t know if it can be done.
Thest sess was due to the time loop, but this time, who knows?
At least, after hearing about the project "Captain Hook", Rnd was not dreaming.
In the next few days, David really found an oral English teacher for Rnd as he said.
Perhaps it was because the money had already been paid, David directly invited the ent correction teacher under the Warner Brothers Audio-Visual Company, and when Rnd learned that the middle-aged man with rigid clothes and serious face had been staying in London before. In the West District, when correcting the ents of those theater actors, he was actually in a daze.
He also finally understood how "luxury" the education of the rich is.
Not to mention Oneonone’s family education, even the teachers must be top-notch.
Rnd didn''t dare to ask David about the other party''s sry at all, because he knew that based on the sry of "Home Alone", even if he went out to sell PG, he still couldn''t afford the high sry of the other party.
While studying with the other party, Rnd also discovered how awesome hisnguage talent is.
"Oh, boy, you have a typical California ent, all the vowels are bitten like a California orange, and the er at the end of each word is extended by half a syble, and like all Californians, the main sentence is in a derative mood , but the sub-sentence goes straight up, just like a roller coaster that doesn’t fall back, and you finish the sentence in one breath, and you still like to say Like.”
"However, Oxford ent is not like this..."
"To give you the simplest example, although both the Oxford ent and the California ent will pronounce the vowels very full, the Oxford ent usually adds an /r/ pronunciation before the vowel in the word..."
"Cockney ents pronounce ei as ai, ai as oi, and i as ei..."
too…
Special code is difficult!
Rnd just took a ss, and he felt his tongue became a big curl!
What''s the ''t in the middle of the word and the end of the word is mostly silent'', what''s the ''h is silent'', what''s the ''r at the end of the word is pronounced with the tongue t'' and so on—the weird pronunciation habits even made Rnd have a kind of Illusion, that is, my CET-6 in the previous life is simply someone who took the test for me!
Unfortunately, there is no solution to this kind of thing.
Even if Rnd is a big learner, he still has to frown and continue to eat these things.
And when Rnd spared two hours every night for oral learning, this kind of high-intensity continuous practice also caused a little problem in the filming of "Home Alone".
Looking at the camera, Rnd, who recited his lines in a strange tone, the director Columbus, frowned helplessly.
have to…
This guy really works hard.
but…
He is overdoing it!
"Cut!"
"No Good!"
"Come here, Rnd, and listen to me with my headphones."
Note: ① Spielberg really wanted to invite David Bowie to y Captain Hook at the very beginning. His son was born, and this project may have been filmed in 1985. ②The rtionship between Spielberg and his father is not good, because his father wants him to inherit his career as an industrialputer engineer with the mission of helping human progress instead of making movies. His father is very awesome, not an ordinary family at all. His father used to be in charge of the General Electric Industrial Computer Division.
