Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 13 Borrowing the wind to make a breakthrough (two-in-one, 5K, please recommend)

  After learning that the key factor for breaking the time loop is not as far away as he thought, Roland directly threw the breakfast analysis before the loop into the trash can.

   "From Deleting the Database to Running Away"?

  《From Getting Started to Giving Up》?

  Since he has the opportunity to enter the industry, why does he still think he is upright?

  Even if he really wanted to be the pig in the wind, he had to pay attention to priorities.

  The most important thing right now is to verify whether Ganetti's news is correct.

   "The next small goal is to impress Chris Columbus during the audition process."

   "As long as the other party can speak during the audition, it proves that there is no problem with our analysis."

   "Not only that, but I can also set the words of other guys while auditioning."

   "Working hard to get into the circle? Hey... why do I feel like I've become a star?"

  Thinking of the little beauty who worked hard day and night to become a member of the Super Seven, but on the day she entered the circle, she saw the darkness of the circle and felt the evil heart of the deep sea, Roland shuddered.

  ‘Why did I suddenly think of this? '

  'Could it be because my face is more handsome than Leonardo? '

  Looking at Roland, who was caressing his cheeks, and David, who had been waiting for him to reply, he coughed.

   "Roland, what are you doing?"

   "Why can't I understand what you said?"

   Just don’t understand!

  If David knew who Xingguang was, that would be a lot of fun!

   Roland, who was in a good mood, returned to his previous relaxed appearance. He didn't mean to explain, so he just casually typed a haha, and let the whole topic go.

  As an activist, he didn't hesitate. After dinner, he couldn't wait to go home and sleep.

  Close your eyes, and the same dream comes again.

  Music sounded, and the fifth New Year's Day has arrived.

  Find a pen and paper, and record the cycle days and current goals.

  Roland didn't want to fool David, but also fool himself.

  It is different from the previous four cycles. With a clear goal, Roland is now full of energy.

   I got into the gym, trotted on the treadmill for forty minutes, then nestled into the bathroom, took a shower and brushed my teeth.

  Accompanies James to breakfast in good spirits, pours down five bowls of muesli under the surprised eyes of the other party, and then responds to David's proposal, follows the other party, and then visits Fox.

  The fifth audition, Roland's attitude has been corrected.

  Looking at the four people behind the audition table, Roland nodded and smiled, and greeted each other first, asking how are you.

   Except for John Hughes who "doesn't do anything" and Chris Columbus who wants to do things, the other two audition directors who really do things are women.

   After seeing Roland's kind smile, Jane Jenkins, who was wearing glasses, looked down at the resume, and then showed a surprised look, "Roland Allen? You came with your uncle?"

   It is a well-known thing in this world that guardians take their children to audition.

  There is no other reason, the main reason is that after the child is selected, the guardian needs to sign and agree on the contract before the crew can really employ people.

  Of course, it’s not uncommon for their representatives to come here. However, the reason why they set the audition date on January 1st is mainly because today is a rest day, and adults and children have time.

   "Yeah." Of course Roland knew the meaning of the other party's words, because he had listened to this question five times.

   "To be precise, he is my adoptive father in the legal sense."

Most adoptees will change their names to call them father and mother after establishing a clear legal relationship with the adopter, but for the Olsen couple, it doesn't apply at all. Roland can call it whatever he wants, and bring uncle's They can accept the respectful title, and they don't care if they don't call the aunt directly by name. Not only that, the couple didn't pretend to be Roland's adoptive parents when they introduced it to the outside world. They felt that Roland could become an independent individual, and they were willing to Cultivate it in this direction.

   "Adoptive father? You were... raised in an orphanage?"

  Hearing this, another audition director, Janet Hilson frowned.

  Adopt young children, resell them, buy children, and squeeze them clean.

   This situation is too common in America.

  The scandal at the Tennessee Children's Home is not an isolated case, just other cases, and it doesn't make it as big as it is.

Janet Hilson has worked in the casting industry for more than ten years, and has seen many adopted children being auditioned by adoptive parents. Faced with these families with ulterior motives, she usually lowers her own talent before starting. psychological expectations.

  Even if these adopted children behaved okay, they would directly get stuck in the first round.

Regular production crews don't want to deal with these people. If you encounter those shameless guys who want to extort money, then the problems faced by the production crew will be huge. You know, those guys from the Children's Protection Association don't care about you Who is the investor?

   "No, my parents were killed two and a half months ago, in San Francisco last October."

Roland understood Janet Hilson's worries, and the reason why he wanted to mention his adoptive father was to throw his identity shielded by his resume in front of everyone, "The family who adopted me are friends of my parents, Olson .”

   "Olson?" Jane Jenkins pushed her glasses, her words full of interest.

   "David, the guardian on your resume, is Ashley's father?"

   Janet Hilson followed Jenkins' words and asked directly.

  Bingo!

   Roland wanted this effect.

  During the previous auditions, because Roland felt that Macaulay's status could not be shaken, he just nodded in response to the initial inquiry, and he gave up.

   But after finding a way, the status of being adopted by the Olsen couple became the key to sparking the topic.

  He wants everyone in the audition room to pay attention to himself.

  The reason is also very simple.

  Because of the previous audition, it is not called an audition at all.

   Whether it was Roland's own personal experience or the audition process he heard from his "old friend" Leslie, he found that the people in front of him were just here to play tricks.

  Introduce yourself, ask about your preferences, show off your talents, pack up and leave?

   What kind of audition is this!

   Not professional at all!

  You don’t allow young actors to read lines or make expressions in front of the camera. If so, how do you test whether the young actors have a sense of the camera? An audition that doesn't even check the camera sense, is that called an audition?

   This is even more funny than Dou Sen getting the heroine through an audition!

In fact, regardless of whether it is an adult or a child, as long as you enter the audition stage of the crew, the basic process will not change: without the confidence and courage to face the camera, you will not be able to film, and a stiff guy will never They will be on the stage of the annual meeting scheduled for Teacher's Day, and they will not wear punk-style attire and dreadlocks, singing Wang Banbi's "Life in Bloom" there.

  Of course, the bigger reason for not being on stage may be because you are not handsome enough.

  The vast majority of actors face countless failed auditions early in their careers.

   Only when you find a sense of maturity in the process of continuous trial and adjustment, can you have a chance to enter the industry.

  Because the lens will magnify everything, the fleeting embarrassment in real life will be an eternal flaw on the screen. If you can't even solve this point, the crew still wants you, then there is only one possibility.

  The director's surname is Fang, and he is facing a warning from Shen Jiang.

The camera was not turned on for several auditions in a row. With the black material that Ganetti shook out, Roland had already guessed how intense the struggle about the protagonist was—this kind of behavior that even the normal process can be forcibly erased , making him helpless.

  If the audition team didn't perform too well, they wouldn't have given it a chance.

  Roland also didn't want to shoot a bullet that could bend like Professor X, so as to achieve the goal of saving the country with a curve.

  When he threw out his identity, the effect was also obvious.

  In the previous few auditions, John Hughes, who had never communicated with him, suddenly folded his hands and leaned back.

   "Little Olsen? Who introduced you?"

  The sudden question surprised Roland. He thought that after revealing his identity, the director of Columbus, who wanted to find a newcomer, would ask directly.

  Looking at the curious face, the strange Roland did not hesitate.

   "Aunt Ganetti told me that the news of the audition was learned from director Howard Storm."

   "Howard Storm?" John Hughes lowered his left eyebrow and raised his right eyebrow.

  Although the expression was very funny, Roland didn't smile.

   After pondering for a moment, he announced a name, "Is Robin Williams right?"

   "The invitation to audition came from him."

  John Hughes turns around and looks at Chris Columbus.

  Perfect!

  Even though the guy who asked was not Director Columbus, Roland was very satisfied with the current situation.

  Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to his vision.

   Robin - Williams is how popular?

   Isn't it just "Merck and Mindy" with director Howard Storm?

   Robin - Williams now doing?

   Isn't it just messing with Spielberg on "Captain Hook"?

  Although Roland doesn't know Robin Williams, let alone Howard Storm, but—

   Does it matter?

   It doesn't matter at all!

  Because he only needs to explain that the Olsen couple are his guardians, and his audition opportunity was obtained from Howard Storm, and that's it!

  Because of everything left, these people will gradually die! Think for yourself!

  Howard Storm and Robin Williams are good friends. Robin Williams is now preparing for a new project with Spielberg.

   And Chris Columbus invited two supporting actors through Spielberg, thus getting Fox's investment...

  When this relationship chain is stretched out, the four people at the scene can understand the meaning without Roland saying it himself!

  Roland Allen, is he from the Jewish Gang?

Feel sorry-

  I, Roland, didn't say that.

   It's your own imagination.

  Feeling the probing eyes cast by John Hughes, Chris Columbus, who had been silent all this time, was a little beeping.

  He did ask for connections and asked friends to help find children of the right age, but—

  He had never heard of the name Roland Allen!

   This is Robin Williams' newly found good seed, because there are too many things, have you not talked to him?

   Hiss—

  Now Robin not only has to prepare for "Captain Hook", but also continues to hit the Oscar winner with "Dead Poets Society".

  If he forgot about this little thing, it's very possible, right...

  Chris Columbus and John Hughes looked at each other for a few seconds, their thoughts suddenly turned, and they didn't show half a minute.

  No one could guess what the other party was thinking. While looking away, they focused their attention on Roland again.

  Looking at Roland Allen in a black jacket, the fluent words and uncowardly eyes were remembered in their hearts. Columbus's forehead was slightly tilted, and the audition director who got the idea immediately got up and turned on the camera.

  Although Columbus doesn't know the specific situation, Roland has already reported his family, so he will definitely not fool those children casually like before—

   "I won't say much about other things, let's get straight to the point."

   "You just said that your parents were killed in San Francisco two and a half months ago?"

   "I'm sorry about this."

   "Because now I hope you can make a painful and sad expression in front of the camera."

  Good!

   Roland threw out all the news just for this moment.

  If during the audition process, you have no chance to face the camera.

  Then you will never succeed.

  If you can’t take the first step, how can you win the role!

  Putting away the excitement in his heart, he calmly faced the camera. At this moment, Roland immediately regarded the deep darkness with flashing lights as a friend—

Although in various film and television dramas, for the sake of the truth of the story, unless the director has special requirements, otherwise the actors will not look at the camera at all, but in the audition, it is very common to make expressions and mobilize emotions to the camera. usual.

Although various rumors are proving that Chris Columbus wants to train inexperienced rookies, Roland will not take this kind of thing seriously. In his opinion, what Director Columbus wants to look for is someone with a sense of camera. A genius, he wants to make his movie as perfect as possible. In this case, if Roland really behaves like a rookie, he will be committing suicide.

  So, instead of recalling the memory of the audition when he entered the industry, he stood there with a lonely expression and distracted eyes.

   And when this slightly sluggish expression appeared, the four people who had already classified him as a related household frowned at the same time.

   Roland in the camera lost his soul as if he had been hit by a head bow.

  As if he had learned a terrible news, the grief that came out of him made him stunned on the spot.

  Helpless and helpless, he is like floating duckweed, which seems to collapse instantly with just a light touch.

   As for the "I'm filming" feeling common to non-professional actors?

  The lens is Roland's old friend.

  The old friend who brutally told him the bad news.

   "Ok..."

   "Let's read this dialogue."

   "There are no new words, you should understand."

   After a brief silence, Chris Columbus got up and handed the script to Roland.

   Let him invoke other emotions and then make expressions?

no need.

   Staring at the camera and performing, what is measured is the state of the actor’s camera, and mobilizing emotions is to dig deep into the inner character. Now it’s not filming, he won’t talk to Roland, and John Hughes won’t have the patience to listen to him.

   After receiving the lines, Roland glanced twice and guessed the movie clip.

  This is at the end of the film, before the decisive battle against the thieves, the protagonist goes to the church on Christmas Eve and talks to the strange old man next door.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

  At this time, the protagonist Kevin already has a heart of remorse. In the script, he shows a maturity far beyond his age.

   This plot is very in line with Roland's current state.

  Because it is clearly marked on the script, Kevin is in a very sad mood at the moment.

Roland stared at the script and quickly memorized the lines above. It took about half a minute for him to memorize the simple sentences. While putting down the script, he still maintained a dejected look, with a deep voice, interpreting Looking at his remorse at the moment, "Recently I have been annoying people, saying things that shouldn't be said, and my performance this year is really not very good."

   Taking a deep breath, sighing slowly, the feeling of being young and mature suddenly emerged.

Skipping the words of the supporting actor, Roland continued to talk to himself, "I'm very sad, I really love my family. Although sometimes I say I don't love them, and I even think in my heart that I don't love them .”

   Shrugged, feeling helpless again, "Especially my relationship with my brother."

   "Cut." However, before Roland finished, John Hughes called to stop.

  He stared at Roland with a strange expression, "It's fine."

  The performance was suddenly stopped in the middle of the performance. Roland in his previous life naturally encountered this situation.

  Although he didn't know what went wrong with him, he didn't get too entangled in it, but stopped along with the trend.

  However, when he returned the script, he discovered that Chris Columbus had ticked off his resume.

   Not only that, it seems that he deliberately let him see the evaluation he wrote. While receiving the script, Columbus also accidentally touched the resume with the evaluation on the ground.

  ‘The camera sense is very strong, far surpassing that of peers, but when reciting the monologue, the speaking speed is a little fast, and it may be a little nervous. '

I see-

   Roland took a deep breath, and thought to himself.

  Although he used to be an actor, there is still a certain gap compared with those film kings.

  Combined with not filming for a long time, various skills will inevitably be a little rusty.

   What's more, after he left the circle, he has been commenting on movies. The cheerful style of commenting is also related to the speed of people's speech. It is not surprising that he has brought out those bad habits now.

   But it doesn't matter, he has plenty of time to practice.

   Today's audition was his first attempt after he had a clear goal, and he didn't think he could succeed at all.

  For him, it is certain that Chris Columbus has the right to make decisions, and knowing that the other party will help him after Dihua.

  That matter is much easier to handle.

  Nodding his thanks, he obeyed the other party's instructions and waited outside for a while.

  After Roland sent all the other forty-nine people away, the casting director wearing glasses came out and told him that he had entered the second round.

second round?

  The second round was actually the biggest failure for Roland as a time traveler.

  However, thinking of the fifty-to-one elimination rate under the power struggle, thinking of the cheating environment where the background is not revealed and even the camera cannot see it.

   Roland was very satisfied with the result.

  Unfortunately, the time loop requires him to finish this matter within a day.

  He didn't have time at all to go to the second round of auditions.

   Even so, he still smiled and thanked the other party.

   After returning home, David also told the others that Roland had passed the initial test.

   "Baby, come give auntie a kiss."

  Although the original purpose was to let Roland go for fun, after learning that Roland had passed the initial test, Ganetti still hugged Roland and happily pecked him on the cheek.

   "Wow, Roland, you can do it!"

   "I didn't expect you to pass the first round? You were chosen out of fifty people?"

"awesome!"

  Although James was bored all day in the crew of "Full House", when he heard the news that Roland had passed the election, he immediately clenched his fist and slapped him **** his shoulder a few times.

  He was really happy for Roland's success.

   Not only that, Ashley and Mary, who had been struggling for a day, also clasped their little hands to cheer him on.

   "Brother Roland, you have to work hard for filming!"

  Three and a half years old, they didn't know how to celebrate yet, but Roland was a little moved by the smiling cheeks.

  Looking at those guys who were celebrating for him, Roland showed a happy smile.

he-

very happy.

  Because several people in the Olsen family treated him sincerely.

Note: ①The word adoption is actually very sensitive in Hollywood. The book "Before We Were Yours" (Chinese name "Guardian") specifically talks about the scandal of the Tennessee Children's Home. The content is from 1920 to 1950.

Many of them were sold to Los Angeles and Hollywood stars . ②The relationship between Robin Williams and the director of "Full House" was mentioned before, and he himself was identified as Peter Pan in "Captain Hook" before "Dead Poets Society" was released in 1989, In reality, Robin Williams and Chris Columbus met because of the relationship between the Jewish gang. After Robin finished filming "Captain Hook" and Columbus finished filming "Home Alone", the two parties directly cooperated in the filming of "Home Alone".
