Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 210 Busy old man, chic Xiao Li, obedient Roland

  Spielberg is actually quite busy.

If it weren't for the fact that Roland was his student and the upcoming project was related to it, the old man really didn't have the time to sit down and chat with other people, let alone eat a dog while holding his breath food.

From September 5, 1996 to December 11, 1996, the old man spent more than 90 days finishing "Jurassic Park 2", and then returned to Industrial Light and Magic, using two For many months, keep an eye on editing and post-production.

   After finally sitting down to catch his breath, Roland crackled and rattled on him again.

  Although the project of "Saving Private Ryan" was finalized, it also annoyed him enough.

And shortly after he threw the project to Roland and kicked this annoying guy out of the house, on February 18, 1997, the old man left Los Angeles again to film a film about the early days of the American Civil War. The story of the black man's quest for freedom—

   "Broken Lock Rage".

   Well, this translation actually sucks.

  When Roland saw this translation, he thought it was a movie about naval warfare. After opening it, he found out that the whole movie was about the famous case 'Amistad' in the history of the abolition of slavery in America.

  Because this history is very complicated, Roland didn't understand it when he read it.

And when Roland read Cao Guilin's "BJ Man in New York", Zhou Li's "Chinese Woman in Manhattan", Chen Yanni's "Tell You a Real America", Qian Ning's "Studying in America", Lin Da's "A Closer Look America" ​​series.

  He realized that the movie Spielberg made was not about the legal system of freedom and liberation at all.

   Rather, it is a spiritual worship of the superior institutions of America.

   To put it nicely, it is called blood and resistance that promotes every progress in a society ruled by law. To put it bluntly, you can apply the words of Clint Eastwood in "American Sniper"—

  ‘The United States is the most awesome country on this planet. '

  Hollywood, as a propaganda outlet for cultural dissemination, produces this kind of movie, which is really normal.

   However, normal is normal, but Roland just doesn't like it.

  Why?

  The two British dramas "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister" have already explained everything.

  The so-called superior system, isn’t it the superior system that those guys who want the public to feel that the system is superior show the public to see it?

  The basis for the existence of spiritual worship is not a superior system at all, but fists and broadcasting...

  So, even if he knew the shooting time of the other party, Roland didn't intend to watch it.

  As director Zhang Wenhong said: ‘Don’t take me too seriously, I also like to watch dramas that don’t take your brains. '

   What a boring movie with brains and promotions!

  ...

   Just as Spielberg left in a hurry, there was also news from Berlin.

The forty-seventh Berlin International Film Festival came to an end on February 24, 1997. At the awards ceremony, actor Leonardo DiCaprio from the United States performed "Romeo and Juliet", Successfully won the Best Actor Award and won the Silver Bear.

  As the first important award in Xiao Lizi's life, this silver bear means a lot to him.

  Rivan-Phoenix won the Venice Best Actor Award at the age of 21, and he won the Silver Bear at the age of 23.

  Although he is two years older than the other party in age, it doesn't matter because he is still alive.

  As long as you are alive, there is hope for transcendence.

   After he came back, the high-spirited and handsome guy also held a celebration party.

  As his 'big brother', Roland naturally received the invitation.

  Although Roland was not interested in this kind of smoking and drinking party, he still arrived on time despite being idle and bored.

  But when he saw the Queen Yingying and Yanyan surrounded by Xiao Lizi, a sudden surprise occurred spontaneously.

  Even though Roland doesn't know any of the female companions beside Xiao Lizi, he can still see that white breast.

  The point is, all girls have long legs...

  After wearing high heels, they are as straight as chopsticks!

  The twisting posture following the sound of footsteps made Roland gasp...

   Hiss...

  Looking at the figure hugging left and right, holding a wine glass and wantonly celebrating, Roland with his hands in his pockets, was filled with emotion!

  Man, how could it be like this?

   Isn't that just winning a Berlin Best Actor? It's the same as becoming the youngest Oscar winner in history!

Look at how low-key I am, that is, I plan to unite with the Sixth National Congress, give my wife an Oscar, buy 10% of Apple's shares, just for Pixar to produce more good movies, and go to Blizzard Entertainment to play games when I have nothing to do , talking and laughing with those Forbes bosses on Wall Street who eat people and don't spit out their bones, and use Yahoo and IMDb to manipulate fan feedback and so on...

  I’ve been on the A+list for so many years and I haven’t drifted away. How can you be like this on your B-list?

Just when Roland sighed secretly, and looked at Xiao Li with eyes that hated iron and steel, he found his little Li, but he took the initiative to come over with a wine glass, toasted Roland, and took out a cigar by the way, cut it open, and wanted to give it to him. Roland clicked.

Facing that extremely filial act, Roland, who was still criticizing Xiao Lizi's extremely corrupt life style, laughed, but just halfway out of the hand that wanted to pick up the cigarette and drink, he suddenly retracted it when he thought of something. .

   Behavior like this, Xiao Lizi looked very puzzled, "What's wrong? Afraid of being photographed by the media?"

   "Don't worry, no media today..."

   "No, no, no..." Roland shook his head again and again, looked at tobacco and alcohol with reluctance, and denied, "I just don't like it."

   "You don't like it?" Countless small question marks popped up on Xiao Lizi's head, and he muttered to himself: "Didn't you drink to your heart's content and smoke brightly at the celebration party of "Spider-Man" before?" Why... don't you like it now? '

  Thinking for a few seconds, my head turned around, as if thinking of something.

  Looking around, after finding no familiar figure, he asked, "Is she not here?"

   "Not here." Roland knew who Xiao Lizi was talking about.

   "She's going back to the UK to deal with some things. The plane will take off at one o'clock tonight. I'll leave after eleven o'clock and pick her up at the airport."

   "Ah...then stop smoking, stop drinking..."

After realizing it, Xiao Li quickly put the things back, but in the next second, he put his arms around Roland's shoulders, pointed at the group of demons dancing in the center of the venue, and said, "Tonight, these girls are from Ford and IMG. Do you like it?"

   "It's only eight o'clock, it's still early."

  Looking at the young girls in cool clothes and delicate makeup, Roland put his hands in his pockets and coughed.

   "I'm not like you, I don't like models."

  What?

   What does this have to do with models? Aren't these guys all beauties?

  Little Lizi raised his eyebrows, glanced at Roland with surprise eyes, and said solemnly: "I hugged you."

   "What remains on you is the smell of my perfume."

   How could Roland fail to understand such words? But after scratching his eyes at the beauties twice, he touched his old waist and said righteously: "Leo, stop talking, I really don't like it..."

   "Well, if you say that, then I really can't help it..."

  You are so boring!

  Little Lizi sighed, he felt that he might not be able to get along with the current Roland.

  I think back then, when he was filming "Spider-Man", Roland could still squat on the side of the street with him to watch girls!

What now?

  Why do you keep touching your waist?

   Could it be that you want to speak for Lu Hua?

  ‘Luhua, 5S first-grade peanut oil! '

   Is there really no drop?

  Tut tsk tsk...

  Since Roland didn't play, Little Li didn't accompany him the whole time.

   After saying hello, he turned around and threw himself into the pile of rouge.

  Looking at the handsome figure passing by among thousands of flowers without a single leaf touching his body, Roland secretly dissed again in his heart just after a while.

  ‘He…tui…’

  ‘Let’s play! let's play! Be careful not to be pinched to death by the long legs! '

  'Extraordinary, do these women have no eyesight at all? He is not as handsome as me! '

   This really means Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

   While Roland was muttering boredly, several blonde girls in small dresses leaned forward.

   Under Roland's surprised eyes, all these flesh and blood smiled politely.

   "Oh~ Roland~ I didn't expect to meet you here~"

  "Leo said before that you will attend his celebration banquet tonight, we thought it was a lie~"

   "Roland~ I'm your fan~ Can you sign me?"

   While talking, this group of guys in tight-fitting short dresses took out marker pens from nowhere.

   While delivering the pen, the only place where you can sign also survived.

   Such a situation made Roland startled for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth curled up.

'Eh! '

  ‘This rhythm is just right! '

  ‘I’m handsome and rich, and more famous than Xiao Lizi. The point is that I have twenty-eight pack abs! '

  ‘How could no one come up to strike up a conversation! '

   Seeing a girl come to hook him up, Roland was happy again. Even when he looked at Xiao Lizi, he felt that she was much more pleasing to the eye.

   Maybe this is the real reason why Harvey Weinstein is obsessed with Vanity Fair?

It's not how beautiful those women are, nor how good their figure really is, but the pleading and longing in the eyes of those guys when they look at you, which may be mixed with unwillingness, but it is precisely these complicated Emotions, men will feel good!

   While feeling satisfied in his heart, Roland also chatted.

   They sent one crop after another, as if the emperor was drafting a draft, but none of them caught their eye anyway.

  He is not the successor prince of the Forty Thieves, of course he knows that these guys are here for his money and fame.

   It’s enough to chat for a few minutes, as for deep friendship?

Come on…

  It's a good time for a deep friendship, a pregnant crematorium, a black cat is popular in searches, and a penguin laughs.

  That night, when he came out of the party and drove to the airport, Roland looked at the boring street scene and was filled with emotion.

Without "Titanic", Xiao Lizi is still very chic. Although he may not have the record-breaking arrogance, the surprise beyond his predecessors still exists. The point is, after the pressure of his handsome face is gone, he is now living a happy life. It was so easy.

   What to eat, what to drink, what to play, what to sleep...

   Anyway, I'm not an idol!

   The pressure is all on Roland!

   And Roland...

Arrived at the airport at twelve o'clock, and waited until one o'clock, because I was too sleepy and had no mobile phone to play with, so I sat on the sofa in the VIP area and fell asleep. His own hair is teasing his cheek.

   "Are you back? Why did I fall asleep?" Roland, whose head was restarting, looked confused.

   "Going to Leo's party?" Kate didn't answer Roland's inquiry, but blew her nose.

   "Well... I went there after seven o'clock, and came out after eleven o'clock..."

  Before Roland finished speaking, Kate gagged his mouth, and when he stood up again, a happy smile clung to his face.

   "It's not bad, I didn't drink or smoke, I behaved very well, let's go, go home..."

  ...

   Shortly after Spielberg left Los Angeles, Kate returned to the country to deal with the borrowing issue.

  Ask the British Ministry of Defense to borrow 2,000 British soldiers for filming. This kind of thing may be troublesome for Hollywood, but for the guy who can invite Prince Philip, there will be absolutely no problems in the procedure.

   As for the previous conflicts between the two parties?

  We can't solve conflicts, but we can solve the people who create conflicts!

  Who turned down Spielberg's request? So that Prince Philip came to ask about such a trivial matter?

  Who handles it, who is on vacation!

   As for deadlines?

   When you think it through, come back to work!

  Why did Spielberg ask us to borrow someone to film in the UK?

   Don’t you just want to restore the Normandy landing?

  The Normandy landing, that was the greatest landing battle of World War II!

  The Allies won a big victory and successfully opened the second European battlefield. The victory of the British and American armies brought about a fundamental change in the strategic situation of World War II. You didn’t support this kind of propaganda, but killed the project instead?

  Comrade, your ideological awareness is not high enough!

When Kate told Roland the British Ministry of Defense's handling opinion, Roland was speechless, ""Saving Private Ryan" is not about how brave the British and American armies are at all, okay? The guy who was on leave, died What a shame."

   But Kate didn't think so, "But who made Prince Philip come forward this time?"

   "If you don't find a reason, the Ministry of National Defense will not look good."

   "So that guy got fired?"

"No, I heard from them that after the limelight is over, you can go back to work, but the time may be a bit long, at least you have to wait for the release of "Saving Private Ryan" to give feedback before you can talk about ending your vacation and going back to work matter."

  'After the feedback of "Saving Private Ryan"? '

  ‘It will take a long time...’

   Roland mourned for a few seconds in his heart for the guy who rejected Spielberg at the beginning. Although he felt that his death was a bit wronged, there was no way. This is a world where the weak prey on the strong.

  Prince Philip does not have real power, but in his life, he is only a hobby.

   Playing golf, riding a horse, and going to see Shakespeare's plays if you have nothing to do.

  People have liked Shakespeare all his life, and he once performed on the same stage with Kenneth's 'instigation'.

  Royal family members acted on stage, which would damage the image, but Kenneth will carry it all his life! Now his niece's boyfriend is borrowing someone for filming. Does the British Ministry of Defense, who knows the relationship between the two parties, dare to say No?

   dare not.

   Or in other words, they knew that Spielberg could get through this relationship. When they saw the project, they had already borrowed someone!

  Unfortunately, I rejected it at the beginning, but now I have to borrow it again.

  What should I do then?

  Leave out the pot!

  Whoever made the pass at the beginning now considers himself unlucky!

  We also want to protect you, but in order to cover up those messy things of the royal family, it can only be difficult for you.

   Now that the matter was settled, Roland called Spielberg, and after seeing the faxed authorization document, the satisfied old man thanked Roland with his own actions.

   "I won't say anything else."

   "Didn't you say that Kate is fine recently? Then let her be the executive producer."

   "It's also convenient to get in and out of the crew this way."

  ‘Yes, yes, it’s convenient for her, and it’s also convenient for you. '

   How could Roland not know that the old man disliked doing it himself?

  When filming with Roland before, there was never a delay.

Although Roland often asks questions, but after asking a question a hundred or eighty times, it is almost time to ask. The old man really has no energy to deal with it. He just wants to get off work on time, but Roland has never He never left work on time.

   Now... He thinks that after someone takes care of Roland, he should be able to call his wife and children on time.

   From now on, no one will yell into the phone while he is eating—

  ‘I’ll borrow your father to use it! I have a few questions to ask! I'll leave after asking! '

Note: ① "The Rage of Broken Lock" is actually a very serious movie with private goods. When it was released that year, Spielberg was boycotted by the United States. If "Titanic" hadn't diverted attention, he would have To be scolded to death. Because the whole movie is just to whitewash the Jews under the banner of promoting the United States. At that time, he was sprayed with "as a Jew, portraying slavery as the fault of Africans and Christians", "on the surface, the United States is the world's most important Under the banner of the greatest country, it is secretly doing things to make the victims atone for the Jews'. This movie has always been regarded as a symbol of Jewish tampering with history, and even Americans themselves resisted it. Therefore, those who say that movies are not an outlet for propaganda can wash their hands and sleep. No matter how many comments you leave, it will not change the fact that it is a tool of propaganda. ②Ford Models and IMG are both modeling agencies. ③Members of the British royal family are not allowed to act, but if you really want to act, you have to find someone to take the blame. Kenneth is responsible for Prince Philip, and Prince William also wanted to act when he was studying. In the end, it was Little Freckle who took the blame for him. That's right, it's the actor I wrote about before. And those who can take the blame for them are not ordinary people, because the blame is too heavy for ordinary people to bear.
