Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 134: Tragic experience, big fortune, new history

Chapter 134 Tragic experience, big fortune, new historical record, remuneration for share

Rivan-Phoenix is ??an experiential school?

Roland was a little surprised, he really didn't know about this before.

But after hearing what Robert Zemeckis said, he can understand...

Because in this world, there is no such thing as a born actor.

Anthony Hopkins is regarded by various media as the ultimate actor. He is the most elegant devil in the world. He is the one who appears most often in the villain class of many acting schools. , but those acting teachers only tell students how to learn to imitate, but never tell others that the eyes of Anthony Hopkins can never be copied, because his miserable childhood is the reason for his cruelty. Seriously.

His father is a very self-contained baker. When he was a child, he would not let him play with his peers. Socialized he becomes a nervous loner who is often bullied.

This kind of childhood experience is the most precious wealth in his performance. He wants to get rid of his father's shackles, but he is isolated by his peers. Personal experience without affectation is the root of his success. Blind imitation will only become a failure.

The same is true for Marlon Brando. His mother was alcoholic and his father was violent. When he was a child, his sister even tied him up with a belt because he was too bear. He went to remove the bell. In the face of this series of life experiences, his performance was naturally aggressive and very ostentatious.

When he taught acting classes in his later years, Harry Stanton, Hubie Goldberg, Edward Olmos, Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Robin Williams, Leonardo- DiCaprio was there, but no one learned a thing from him, in the words of Spielberg's first manager, Marlon Brando's most trusted Mike McDavoy. In other words, Marlon Brando is the only and unique life experience that made him extraordinary.

This is also the reason why the acting skills of many older generation actors can crush the new generation, not only because they have lived long enough and have rich accumulation, but also because the era they lived in was full of all kinds of different Certainty.

Before they formed a group, their weird and different life was the weight of their fame. After the class solidified, their children, the so-called second-generation stars, naturally could not compare with their parents.

How many guys who grew up with a golden spoon in their mouths can achieve real emotional expression?

Performances without emotions are just marionettes, and at that time, only the path of expressionism is suitable for them. Perhaps as they grow older, they will be able to change, but there is a great probability that before the change, They have been abandoned by the circle, because these guys don't make money...

This is why the Jewish gang likes to praise actresses and production directors.

An actress can also play a vase again; and a producer is a second use of contacts; as for the director...

As long as you can tell a story, you can take your time like Quentin Tarantino.

And the actor...

Jason Statham claims to be the most handsome Guo Da in the world...

Dwayne Johnson is always shaking his eyebrows when he plays everything...

Although they earn a lot of money, they are actually type actors.

And let those second-generation stars, Tom Hanks' son go to wrestling, and Will Smith's son to go diving?

It's impossible to think about it...

Since you can't be a genre actor and don't have rich emotional support, it's useless even if someone teaches them...

Tiger father and dog son, the audience couldn't accept it.

River Phoenix's death is heartbreaking, but more, it's just people talking after dinner.

Keanu Reeves related to it also made the headlines. The news that "Speed" invested and produced by Fox has started filming spread all over the country, riding on the heat of River Phoenix's death. Do a marketing.

As for Leonardo DiCaprio?

This male star who has always been known as, if River Phoenix is ??still there, he will never be able to get ahead is also active in everyone's sight, not only because of the "Different" starring him and Johnny Depp. The Sky" will meet with the audience this winter, because Xiao Lizi took over two projects that should have belonged to Rui Fan - "Total Eclipse of Mad Love" and "Border Diary".

but..

These three movies had no influence on Roland at all.

"Speed" is indeed Keanu Reeves' famous work, with an investment of 30 million yuan, in exchange for a box office of 350 million yuan.

"Total Eclipse of Mad Love" is a biographical film of the same sex, and "Diary of the Edge" is a biographical film of a grass-roots character.

The three films portrayed two roads, one is commercial, and the other is award-winning, but commercial Roland can crush Keanu Reeves, and award-winning...Roland is like this, how can he plan to win awards?

He didn't take those judges seriously at all, and he had the same attitude as Steven Spielberg and James Cameron. If you like my movie, then vote for me, and if you If you don't like it, then fight until you like it.

So clean and neat!

Just so tough and unrelenting!

However, just when Fox and New Line made a lot of money and forced their favorite Keanu Reeves and Xiao Li to the headlines of the news, the huge commemoration and the release of the new project did not last too long. time.

Because on November 9th, Universal announced a 'new' news.

After being screened in North America for four consecutive months and filming in 30 countries and regions around the world, "Jurassic Park"...

Break one billion!

When the news came out, people inside and outside the industry who were already psychologically prepared were completely silent!

Billions! One billion box office in 1993! Compared with more than 80 countries and regions in the future, the current screening scale is fully reduced by half! But even so, the box office of the movie still broke through ten figures!

what does that mean?

Is Steven Spielberg once again proving himself, he knows what the audience likes?

Is Roland being favored by God again after "Home Alone" 533.3 million, "Terminator 2" 524 million, and "Home Alone 2" 421 million? Pushed the cumulative box office of individual starring movies to a terrifying 2.478 billion?

neither!

In the words of the ABC anchor: what is more valuable than making history is that they explore the upper limit of the market time and time again!

"Although as early as when the box office of "Jurassic Park" exceeded 100 million in the first week, some people publicized that the global box office of this movie may exceed 1 billion, but when this really happened, we discovered that , the original speculation and foreshadowing will not prevent us from falling into shock. Eleven years ago, Steven used "Alien E.T." to tell us that the ceiling of the global box office is far more than five or six billion, and eleven years later, He also used his actions to prove that the purchasing power of movie fans and audiences for good movies can reach ten figures."

"While many directors were still thinking about what kind of movies they should make, Steven kept challenging himself and paving the way for his peers behind him. He told his peers with irrefutable results that as long as you make something the audience likes, The audience will do their best to repay you. This kind of benign market feedback and this spirit of putting the audience first are what every filmmaker should learn. Indulging in oneself will eventually bring the entire industry into the niche. ..."

"Of course, when "Jurassic Park" became the first movie in film history to break through the box office mark of one billion yuan, we also have to pay attention to Roland Allen in the movie. America is the box office champion, and the most surprising thing is that this is the fourth consecutive year..."

"If we regarded him as a 'guy kissed by God' in 1991, then now, he may be an angel sent by God! Because of various analyzes and data, it is impossible to infer why people choose his movies But now, it seems that people all over the world are liking him! I don't know how long this liking will last, but I know that there is nothing wrong with liking Roland!"

"After other actors become famous, they will take on projects crazily, and according to the rules of the ridiculous artist status ranking, A-list will never match B-list, but what about Roland? Even if his grades are enough to crush a bunch of But he still entered the film crew accurately, and compared to those guys who only look at the role and ignore the script, Roland is simply a role model!"

"Not only that, but unlike those guys who are crazy about making money after becoming famous, Roland chose to take a break from filming for a while to study while making history continuously. The filming of "Forrest Gump" is his class. According to our In order to improve his skills, Roland asked Tom Hanks for advice. To be honest, when we heard the news, we were shocked, because we knew that Roland can get at least two awards for a play now. The salary is tens of millions, but even so, he still gave up money and chose to improve, this spirit makes me admire..."

Such an evaluation is far more than just ABC.

While making history, Roland Allen was regarded by the media as a movie miracle in America.

No way, this year's one billion box office is really terrifying, and they believe that in the future, this record may not be broken. Roland sitting at the top is enough to look down on all his peers!

If it were the past, these comments might excite Roland...

After all, he is now the number one person in history!

This is something Kobe Bryant can't envy!historical

but now-

His goal is to be the next number one in history!

When preparing to play with himself, no matter how hard the outside blows, it will have no effect on Roland...

Because he really wanted to know, when he broke his own record, what else could the media that had hailed him as a miracle say?

This time it is an angel in the world, so the next time, isn’t it God boarding the ship?

Compared with those wildly praised media reports, what Roland cares more about is actually the share.

In the previous life, the box office of "Jurassic Park" did not exceed one billion, but even so, Spielberg still took 250 million of it, and now, Roland can take 8% of it !

Although it is far behind the other party, it is still more than 80 million!

More than 80 million yuan can be taken away in less than half an hour, which is really good money!

"It's true that money is easy to earn, but the problem is that you still have to pay taxes!"

After seeing Roland hang up the phone with an excited face, Tom Hanks, who heard the conversation, shrugged directly: "Even if there is a company transfer, you have to pay 30%, and you will keep it in your hand at the end. That's more than 50 million..."

"More than 50 million yuan? Isn't more than 50 million yuan money?" Roland gave the other party an angry look.

Just when he thought that Hanks was envious and jealous, this guy suddenly replied, "Of course more than 50 million is money!"

"So I paid all the remuneration for "Forrest Gump" as a 14% dividend..."

What?

Hearing these words, Roland's eyes widened.

Before he could ask, Hanks continued: "I think the box office of this movie will be very good."

"That's what I thought when I saw the revised script."

"And your joining has also brought me great confidence..."

"So I asked my agent to communicate with Paramount, and exchanged the remuneration for the box office share..."

Okay...

Hanks made a fortune.

Roland clearly remembered that "Forrest Gump" sold 670 million!

Based on that number, Hanks can take nearly 100 million this time no matter what, and after adding the X factor of himself, then he...maybe earn more?

Roland is a little sour.

However, just as he was thinking about how he should congratulate the other party in advance, the phone rang again.

Picking it up, it turned out to be an unfamiliar number this time.

After connecting, the guy on the other end of the phone seemed familiar, "Roland Allen? Hello, I'm Jeffrey Katzenberg, maybe you haven't heard my name, but it doesn't matter, I am I got your phone number from Steven..."

Jeffrey Katzenberg?

How could this guy Roland not know?

He is one of the future DreamWorks Big Three, responsible for DreamWorks Animation, and led the team to create the "Shrek" series, "Madagascar" series, "Kung Fu Panda" series, "How to Train Your Dragon" series, "Crazy Primal" People" guy, of course, this is a matter of the future, he is still the chairman of Walt Disney Studios.

And his purpose of looking for Roland is also very simple, just to care about Roland's body.

"I heard that you have entered a period of voice change? More than ten months have passed, is your voice stable now?"

"If you don't mind, when you return to Los Angeles, come to our Disney dubbing room to have a try?"

"We have an animation project similar to "Prince's Revenge", and we would like to ask you to voice it..."

Note: ①Anthony Hopkins talked about his childhood in the speech initiated by the LEAP Foundation in 2018, and when answering students' questions, he said his suggestions on performance, don't imitate emotions randomly, those Things can never be imitated, and it is said that when I collaborated with Spielberg on "Audacity" in 1997, everyone was learning lines and then finding their own context. �
