Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 153 Trivia

   August 31, 1994.

In a burst of tight breathing, Roland followed the movements taught by Master Yuan and punched the **** fist once. The fine beads of sweat all over his body shone golden in the sun, and the hair sticking to his face looked like mottled shadows, forming a Like a bird's nest.

Although the image is not good, the two months of training has changed Roland's previous idleness. The appearance of Ge You being paralyzed while sitting on the sofa has disappeared. The mental head brought about by continuous practice seems to be sunny full.

  Of course, if a fan sees it, they will definitely shout: "So handsome!"

  The reason why the movements taught by Master Yuan are called Wang Baquan is because the other party didn't teach Roland any real skills at all.

  According to the needs of the project and Roland's own conditions, Master Yuan temporarily designed a set of practice methods.

   But this is also normal. Master Yuan is a martial arts practitioner. He learned northern martial arts with his father since he was a child. If he didn't really want to accept apprentices, or would he want them to hand over real kung fu to foreigners? Isn't that whimsical?

When Li Lianjie learned that Time Warner invited him to the past, not only did he want to find him to film "The Matrix", but also wanted to record and study the kung fu he had practiced all his life in the interval between filming, he also rejected the other party. invitation?

   This is the same as doing business. If people don’t want it, you can’t buy and sell by force, right?

   "Okay! Stop!" Master Yuan clapped his hands, indicating that Roland, who was still posing there, could get up.

Roland, who moved in order, raised his hand, and was about to wipe the sweat off his forehead with his slippery arms, when the studio assistant who had been waiting for a long time handed over the towel; he wiped his face casually, but the towel hadn't been handed back yet. Well, a blue water bottle was delivered to him again, and almost at the same time, the towel that had been wiped off was also 'taken' away.

  Master Yuan, who had just arrived for the first time, thought it was a big name at first, and his head was full of strange ideas of 'You actually went to the toilet yourself', 'You actually ate by yourself', but after watching it for two months, he got used to it.

   No way, who asked the head of the studio to come and hang around twice?

Not only that, but because Spielberg couldn't get used to the two brothers, he let Sony kick them out, so the newly promoted CEO of the film industry who got a chance to be promoted would also come to join in the fun. Sincere condolences.

  Crap! No sincerity! If this master is not happy, he can get Sony to kick someone in minutes!

  Under this situation, if Master Yuan is still entangled, then this class will not be able to attend.

   But for Roland, he has long been used to this kind of A+list treatment.

   Not to mention stepping on the high and holding the low, just based on Sony's brain circuit, he felt that everything Sony did was normal! No way, who knows that no manufacturer other than Sony will study the weird design of "you can skip the advertisement by calling out the advertisement name"?

   "After two months of practice, you should now be able to perform most of the moves."

   "For the next week, you can rest or practice freely."

  “I will spend a week studying the director’s ideas and designing special actions, and in the next four months, I will test the feasibility of shooting the action and the aesthetics of the picture while maintaining the exercise.”

   "If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time."

  Master Yuan spoke half-baked English and told Roland about the future arrangements.

  Roland had no objection, and nodded in agreement, "Ok."

  According to the shooting method of Xiangjiang movies, any action scenes are designed while shooting.

  Master Yuan and the others started to teach the actors after they made up their minds on the set.

But not here, not to mention that most of the actors have no foundation in action. It’s not so easy to abandon the pattern of learning first and then filming that has been cultivated for many years. It is already very good for the truck driver to let Master Yuan design the action. As for designing while shooting?

  I can't see the finished product and I panic!

  If you don’t show me a finished product, how will I know whether the final result is “Ten Thousand Years Before History” or “One Hundred Million Years Before History”?

   You must know that the truck driver is a person who even has requirements for the setting angle! Want to make his eyes darken?

   Dreaming!

   Whoever pays is the uncle, of course Master Yuan will not refuse, but for Roland, this is actually a good thing.

   Eliminate all unknown factors during the preparation of the film, so that the danger can be minimized, not to mention waiting until the location to find out like "The Matrix 4" was filming in San Francisco. This place...

   Seems a bit high?

  After bidding farewell to Master Yuan who had taught him, Roland went to take a shower in the washroom of Sony Studios.

   When he finished washing, he went straight to the restaurant to fill his growling stomach.

While he was looking for food, the old man wearing a peaked cap also came in, looked around, and after seeing Roland, he took a step towards him, and when he skillfully opened the seat, he grabbed Roland's dinner plate. When dipping the big chicken drumstick in the sauce and stuffing it into his mouth, Roland, who was used to it, sucked his thumb and asked, "How do you look?"

Of course, the truck driver understood what Roland asked again. He nodded while eating the chicken leg, and immediately responded with vaguely excited words: "It's great! It's simply great! That's the most realistic picture I've ever seen !"

   "Then shall we still shoot real scenes?" Roland grabbed the napkin and wiped his hands.

   "Of course! The real scene must be shot, but those dangerous scenes of shuttling through the city can now be solved in the studio!"

   That's right, what the two of them were talking about was actually the content of the subsequent shooting.

After the official funding and approval of the project, the truck driver had asked people to think about the shooting location. When selecting the scene, the person in charge of this matter encountered a problem-"Spiderman flying around in the center of New York City, How to shoot? '

  For this problem, the solution given by the team is to use Wia at night.

  Although the truck driver felt something was wrong, there was nothing he could do.

  Because neither "Jurassic Park" nor "Forrest Gump" has a large number of moving scenes using CGI.

   Apart from compositing real shots, he couldn’t think of any other way.

  After learning of these people's conclusions, Roland flew away these thoughts directly in front of the truck driver.

  Really fly to downtown New York?

   Isn't this a brain pit?

   The truck driver was very puzzled, and was directly pushed by Roland to the production base of Industrial Light and Magic.

  Roland asked him to take a look at the production screen of "Apollo 13".

Although Ron Howard only turned on the machine half a month ago, the visual effects of "Apollo 13" have already begun to be produced. The most classic is the scene of the launch of the Saturn 5 carrier rocket. The entire clip is generated by the computer. No A data frame was used, but even then, when it was put together with the real footage of the rocket liftoff, even NASA people couldn't tell the difference.

And Jim Lovell, the commander who actually brought Apollo 13 back to Earth from space in reality, even wondered after seeing the picture of the rocket launch, how did the crew get the never-before-published video from NASA? Image of rocket launch.

Yes, two years ago, everyone was still running and breaking their legs. First, they took a shot of the real scene, and then pulled up the green screen to shoot the portrait. Finally, the technology of synthesizing dinosaurs and humans through computers has been eliminated by the times. Today’s industry Light and Magic only needs to rely on the external scene data and the green screen interior of the studio to synthesize various pictures, and in this way...

  Peter Parker doesn't need to fly around New York.

  Scenes that are difficult to shoot in real life can be directly completed on the computer.

   And this is also the reason why Roland installed the practice place in the Sony studio.

  While exercising, you can also get first-hand preparation information, instead of a phone call and a phone call.

   "How are the props made?" Roland asked after wiping his mouth with a napkin.

   "Clothes are more difficult to make." The truck driver told Roland the tragic news very bluntly, "Don't worry, the clothes must be elastic, but your height and figure are not fixed."

"Stan and I made it clear that in order not to cause large wrinkles in the clothes, he can only make clothes according to your current body data. In this way, there may be a problem, that is, when you wear them, there may be a little Small."

   "But he assured me that even if it is small, it will definitely not affect the shooting, at most it is..."

   "What is it?" Roland was very concerned about this question.

"At most, you're just wearing a battle suit." Since Roland wanted to break the casserole and ask the end, the truck driver granted him, "Don't worry, Stan assures me, he will definitely deal with it specially, at most it's just a little bit uncomfortable when wearing it. Comfortable…"

  Roland's head was full of black lines.

  Although he knew in his previous life that superheroes’ suits were all anti-human, and he still found it funny when he learned that Holland drank water from his eyes, but when these things happened to him—

  The first reaction in his mind was naturally not to squeeze himself out!

   And when he lowered his voice and asked the truck driver to instruct his friends to use safe materials, the guy who was eating and drinking was almost spit out by Roland's weird brain circuit!

  When other A+lists face this problem, the first thing they care about is their own image!

   "Is there any problem with this? Do you think you are great because you have a daughter? Believe it or not, I will paint a portrait of my niece?"

   "Okay, okay, I'll talk to Stan, don't worry!" The truck driver immediately panicked.

  There is no other reason, it is purely that when I went to Industrial Light and Magic to observe and study, I saw the portrait of Lucas in the office.

   After discovering that the painting had Roland's name on it, he asked a lot.

   This question, that’s terrible, Lucas said what happened at his birthday party two and a half months ago, and Spielberg’s initial revelation fell into the ears of the truck driver!

  Roland wants to paint a portrait of his daughter?

  The world is so big, you can draw anyone! Just spare me!

"I'm full, let's go." As if he didn't want to give Roland a chance to continue talking, the truck driver who had just returned from Venice clapped his hands after eating two chicken legs, and stood up, "One o'clock soon , they should all be here."

   "Go! Go! Go! Go pick a girlfriend for you!"

  Because he didn't want to talk about his daughter with Roland, a pervert recognized by the Jewish gang, the truck driver directly grabbed his arm and pushed him out of the restaurant. Roland was a little speechless with such behavior.

   This is really yellow mud falling into the crotch, it's either **** or shit!

  He just broke out of a cocoon and became a butterfly, so why did he become a pervert?

   Is this even more exaggerated than Overwatch and Diablo for an animated series?

Of course, although Roland had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, after he got into the audition room, he put on a straight face and pretended to be serious; Did you pay attention to him in a hurry?

  If they were dressed in the same uniform, with a sticker on the waist, and a handbag in their palm, Roland might turn his head and call for help!

  He just narrated his appeal to the truck driver, but this guy wanted to take revenge on himself forty times in three days?

  With so many blond girls, he might die here.

  Even Teacher Xu brings two when he goes out to play, okay?

   well no kidding...

  After receiving the notification from Sony, the family members of the girls who submitted their resumes began to prepare "crazily". Although many of them were not born with blond hair, wouldn't it be over if they dyed their hair?

   As for pretense?

  Even if Roland and the truck driver didn't ask for this, no one would neglect anyone who could come here.

   In this way, when Roland got into the audition room, he glanced over and saw that the forty girls on the scene all looked the same.

  The feeling of looking at a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as a mountain, or seeing a mountain as a mountain, Roland was shocked.

   Fortunately, they won't rush in to audition, otherwise Roland might really say with a slap on the table—

   "I want them all, who is for? Who is against?"

  Of course, the audition was not the responsibility of Roland and the truck driver. Besides them, Katherine Kennedy, who was in charge of everything, the production director sent by Sony, and three audition directors were all present.

  With the help of these tool people who don’t even deserve their names, the audition went smoothly. The audition segment chosen by the old man was the classroom. Peter, who was bullied by his classmates just now, was comforted and encouraged by Gwen.

Because he was beaten up by the bully in the class and then pulled up by Gwen, Roland, who had just taken a shower, rolled all over the floor under the smirk of the truck driver, and what the other party said before, choose whoever you like , although this sentence is true, Roland also found many problems in the process of being pulled up again and again—

  Katherine Heigl, half a head taller than him.

   Milla Jovovich, also half head.

   Liv Tyler, he rubbed his forehead against the other's nose when he stood up.

   To be honest, Roland is no longer short at this age.

  An inch longer, and he's as tall as a full-bodied Tom Cruise!

  But in front of these girls who can be models, he...

   Well, apart from height, the minimum of two auditions is also a problem.

  Roland knows that he is handsome, but what the **** are you guys signing autographs as soon as you come up?

Holding the idea of ​​"close contact with Roland" and "Roland's first girlfriend on screen", he suddenly laughed at this extremely unprofessional performance during the audition, and Anne Hathaway fell off the bench during the audition. The feel is the same.

   Fortunately, there are a lot of people who want to sign autographs, and there are also people who want to take photos with Polaroids, but the frequency of laughter is not high, and it is within the category that truck drivers will not be angry and will only take it as a joke.

  Of course, there are also those who are bold and want to have another chance, but those who dare to speak, parents are basically big stars in the circle.

After trying all forty people, it was already five o'clock in the evening, and Roland's clothes, which had been dawdling on the ground, had holes in them. When he shook his head and told those guys that he would accept whoever they were, The truck driver took a quick resume, "Then let her be. Reese Witherspoon, who was just admitted to Stanford this year, is five feet one inch tall. Even if she wears high heels, she has to look up at you. Just now Your elevation and her reduction look good when pulling you up."

   Note: ①The truck driver is a guy who really doesn’t start the machine until all the preparations are done. When filming "The Big Ship", he even calculated the degree of tilt of the big ship before starting the machine. Before Christmas in 1996, they spent more than three months taking shots of the balance state. After returning from vacation, they found that the ship was tilted by six degrees, but the picture of the three-degree tilt was not taken, so the truck driver sent someone to Evening the boat, it turned out that when I was doing it, I found that it would take two weeks to move it three times, and another two weeks to move it back, so the truck driver angrily cut the third filming scene in the documentary. ②The development of special effects is so fast. "Jurassic Park" was still filming slowly. "Forrest Gump" could make Gan and Kennedy meet. The launch and space scenes are all CGI.
