Chapter 96 The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds

"Hi! Roland! Can I take a photo with you?"

"Sure, oh, Lillian, is this—Minolta?"

“For the X-700, it was a birthday present from my father when I was one year old, and I have been using it to shoot things for so many years.”

...

"Roland, congratulations on your second movie is also a big hit, I hope it can also break 500 million, this is for you..."

"Oh! This is the blessing I want to hear the most. Thank you very much for your gift, Claudia."

"You're welcome, as long as you can open the gift in front of me, I'll be very happy..."

"Okay, I'll tear down...uh...this is..."

"Mua..."

...

"Hello, Roland, do you remember me?"

"Yeah! Marina, nice to meet you!"

"Hey, sisters, I said Roland won't forget me, right? You each owe me a movie ticket now!"

"Marina, what are you—"

"Bet! They said that you have dropped out of school for more than a year, and you have forgotten all your classmates. I don't accept it. I think you will still remember us, so we made a bet. If they lose, in the next During the summer vacation, we went to the movie theater every day to watch your movies! Are you happy?"

"Of course I am happy that the box office has risen! But what makes me happiest is that you can support me..."

"Then in return, can you sign us?"

"No problem! This is too simple, where do you want to sign?"

"Is it okay to sign our clothes? You can choose the front and back yourself!"

"Uh... I think I'd better give you autographed photos..."

...

When Roland escaped from the crowd, took the freshly squeezed juice that James handed over, and drank it with his head back without any image, his flushed cheeks couldn't show his true heart at the moment.

Is it the heat after being surrounded by the crowd?

Or shyness after being attacked?

Or maybe both?

Only Roland himself knows this.

However, when he put down his glass and leaned against the corner to breathe, James, who had witnessed the situation just now, came over with a smirk on his face, "Tsk tsk tsk... How about being kissed by Claudia?"

"She is the most beautiful girl in our school!"

"The guy George wanted to date her before, but Claudia didn't agree!"

"And Marina, their group of girls are pretty pretty too, how about it, do you have any ideas?"

At this moment, Roland really wanted to put a little hat on the winking James.

What's the difference between his treacherous face and the Gui Gong in Yihong Courtyard?

It's all pimping, okay?

"Go! Go!"

"Isn't this what you did?"

Roland raised his elbow angrily, and pushed the chubby guy who was leaning over him away.

Not only that, he also pretended to be fierce and said: "Go out and help me deal with those guys!"

"Let them calm down!"

"I'm not interested in those things, OK?"

"I'm only eleven years old, I'm not going to find a girlfriend now, you know?"

A wave of salty sourness rushed towards James. Although Roland's words were full of disgust, James didn't care. Instead, he happily winked at Roland, "Okay, I know... "

"You're not interested in them!"

"You are interested in my sister Elizabeth..."

"You're still interested in the little actor in "Home Alone 3" who doesn't know if there is one, right?"

"I know it all...I know it all..."

"Well, I'll help you deal with them! I promise you won't worry!"

Before he finished speaking, James picked up the cup that Roland had just drunk.

At the same time, he also stood up and moved towards the crowd, keeping approaching.

Looking at the ball lightning that was gradually moving away, Roland, who was still full of viciousness, chuckled and shook his head. Looking around, the backyard full of laughter made him feel a little bit emotional, because these guys were all coming for him. —

It earned 40 million in three days of release, and 72 million in seven days in the first week. After beating "The Whitehead 2" to win the box office champion of the week, "Terminator 2" showed a big box office in the second week. Diving, but the weekdays from Monday to Thursday maintained a relatively stable million data, two weeks of unrivaled, successfully pulling the box office as parallel as the book cost.

Although it may not be the fastest movie in film history to break 100 million, the weekly figure of 72 million will be ruthlessly trampled by the exaggerated 81.7 million of "Jurassic Park" two years later. And the unrivaled summer file will also make people in the industry criticize "Terminator 2", but-for Roland, these are not important.

Because when the box office exceeded 100 million, the little chubby who would givemefive with him every day got him a lot of business.

Although it is summer vacation, James, who has various social activities, will still meet with his classmates in school.

During the exchange, Roland Allen, who used to study with them, became the target of their discussion.

The box office of the debut work broke 500 million?

The second work, which is currently being screened, is also soaring in performance, galloping away towards the original goal?

Leaving aside what kind of thoughts such exaggerated grades will make those children of the same age as Roland, just the cool image on the screen can already capture the hearts of a lot of little girls.

According to the statistics of the picture company, while the box office exceeded 100 million, the North American Theater Alliance also gave the sales data of the posters. The movie posters related to Roland have been bought by children, and in David's words, In other words, many manufacturers have called for inquiries, wanting to know whether Roland will accept the image endorsement advertisement. If possible, they hope to use Roland's image to produce dolls and other derivative products to meet the needs of children. need.

Just from the mountain of invitation posters, you can see how popular Roland is now, and unlike those guys who want to meet but have no chance, these guys who came today have a basis for meeting, surrounded by After James begged and coaxed, the current party in the backyard was logically pulled up——

Since this group of guys came for Roland, it would be unreasonable for the owner, Roland, not to receive them.

But after Roland, who thought it was not a big problem to have a party, met with this group of enthusiastic former classmates, he realized how popular he was among the children...

It was similar to the blockade at the airport when I went to Hawaii for vacation at the beginning of the year?

What a joke!

If the little guy who came today is half as restrained as those sister fans back then, then Roland can fly happily, okay?

It would be easy to suddenly kiss him on the face in the name of giving a gift!

Like what I want to sign, but I just want you to sign my clothes—

Like what, we took a photo together, and an octopus appeared—

Like a few days later, our family will hold a party, I hope you can come to participate—

Like what my dad likes the Terminator very much, and has a chance to visit my house—

Hearing this kind of weird request and words full of hints gave Roland a headache.

Signature is no problem!

But when you wear a white T-shirt, there is a problem with your chest, abdomen, buttocks!

Group photo is no problem!

But don't hug me, okay?

As for participating in the party? This is the problem!

My vassal's vassal is not my vassal, have you heard this sentence? Your friend's friend is not my friend! Since everyone doesn't know each other, what am I going to do?

And your father likes terminators, this matter has nothing to do with me!

I'm playing a human! If your dad likes terminators, he should hire Schwarzenegger! What made me go to your house to meet your father? One thing is good, how can it be the same as seeing the old man?

As the fans kept coming, Roland's old feelings became more and more.

In his previous life, he didn’t have this experience, and after those young girls who were full of youthfulness generously hugged his arms and took a group photo, he finally understood that handsome people can really be eaten—

Before he thought that Jeremy Meeks was a hype, but judging from the current situation—

America is really a magical country, because appearance is everything!

Not only that, he also knew why things like the big bowl of wide noodles happened.

It's not because our army is weak, but the enemy army has Gundam!

Some male fans of female stars can drink a large bucket of bath water, but what about male stars and beautiful female fans?

Some things you like and I want, don't they just unfold naturally?

Besides, it is normal for stars and fans to come together. Didn’t the king of milk tea get together with his own You Lemei? Didn’t Duan Yu also have a little love with his fans...

The most ruthless one is Second Brother Wang. He was born in 1976. When he was 20, he met a fan wife who was only 10 years old. Watching her grow up, he finally took the cabbage back home. He was not robbed halfway. It is gratifying to congratulate...

Of course, although there are precedents, this does not mean that Roland has to follow suit!

What's more, his current fans are immature, and they want to be friends when they see a handsome guy. One day, someone more handsome than him will appear, then he will have to fight with Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf Are you friends?

So, don’t even think about interacting with fans!

"Roland, what's the matter? Are you tired of being annoyed by those old classmates?"

Just when Roland was wondering whether James could complete the arduous task he had entrusted to him and make those former classmates restrain themselves, a familiar voice came from behind, "Seeing that you are missing, Li Qi wants to find You, I only found out that you hid here after I asked James."

When Elizabeth staggered to Roland's side and grabbed Roland's clothes with her fleshy hands, Roland, who was thinking about something, immediately threw the enthusiastic fans to Java, and stretched out his hands skillfully. , grabbed the little guy's armpit, and directly hugged him to his lap, and following his movements, Elizabeth also giggled.

Glancing at the cute steamed bun face, Roland looked up at Ganetti, "Yes, they are so enthusiastic..."

"It's too troublesome..."

"Don't you like it?"

“Do you feel tired from being around people your own age?”

After seeing her little daughter buttoning Roland's clothes deftly, Ganetti also sat down. Although she was asking about Roland's thoughts, she didn't mean to inquire. Instead, she looked into the distance and complained with a smile. Said: "Oh, don't talk about you, I'm tired of it too, those parents are as enthusiastic as the children, they kept asking me how to educate the children, but - I obviously haven't educated you? I It just satisfies your preferences, your grades have nothing to do with me..."

"But when I said that, none of them believed it..."

Garnetti's 'true' words made Roland laugh.

Yes, just like those children who think Roland is so handsome after watching "Terminator 2" and want to be friends with him, those parents who accompany their children and go on dates together also want to learn from Ganetti. 'Some parenting heart sutras.

It’s okay for the twin daughters to become the favorites of American people, but can a child picked up at random become the hottest child star of the moment?

"Home Alone" and "Terminator 2", the special charm brought by these two movies made those parents jealous. With the box office of "Terminator 2" exceeding 100 million yuan, Roland has fully imagined his growth. During the process, Fox also announced that it had acquired the IP of Iron Man and Hulk from Universal. Not only that, they also took the initiative to swallow the "X-Men" in Perelman's hands.

Although this behavior made Perelman stunned, it was good news anyway. In this way, the Spider-Man project jointly launched by Roland and Cameron was also fully announced, and when these explosive news came one after another After the news came out, the parents who came to the party today became a little restless.

In just one and a half years, Roland has completed a road that others can't achieve in a lifetime?

And getting more and more entangled with those guys at the top of the pyramid?

The psychology of wanting to climb up together sprung up like mushrooms after receiving a party invitation.

Being in Los Angeles, maybe not everyone wants to make a movie.

But how many guys who can go to school with Roland and James have simple families?

To put it bluntly, when these parents found out that their children liked Roland, everything before was actually acquiescence.

In later generations, many people said that the ancient oriental mysterious country was a country of giant infants, and the young people gnawed away at the old, so that the children of America were independent, but the so-called "independent spirit" was nothing more than deceiving the common people. It is said that the elders use nepotism to place their children in prestigious schools and big companies. It is really too simple.

The spirit of independence they instill in the people, telling those guys that they should live independently at the age of 18, the children move out to live on their own, the rent has to be paid by themselves, the college tuition fees have to be earned by themselves, and sleeping at home is a dick, isn't it just to cut off these guys? Is it an ascending channel? There are so many guys who drop out of school because of financial distress, without a diploma, where's the competitiveness?

While these families are instilling all these ideas of independent spirit, their children don't need to pay attention to independence. If they really let go like those ordinary people, they will be laughed to death by the whole circle!

Buying a house with six wallets is actually the truth.

It doesn't matter whether it sounds good or not, at least it's not deceiving.

Because of this, when James persuaded his parents and Roland to come up with today's party, which guy who could come didn't have ulterior motives? Before, Roland's parents were killed, and David's strength was comparable to them. Everyone was not in the same circle. Even if they had feelings, it was just as light as water, but now...

The youngest 600 million male protagonist in film history!

A child who has stepped into the top social circle of Hollywood!

Just these two items alone have already blown their business away by thousands of miles! And if they were told that the news released by Fox, Marvel, and the truck driver were all the result of Roland obediently obediently cooperating with the hype, and after he had an idea, these guys who arrived today might be even crazier!

It doesn’t matter if you are a master of mergers and acquisitions or a master of hedge funds, as long as you can follow them, the money will be the same as picking up money for nothing!

What kind of entities are they still doing! Isn't it delicious to follow their **** to pick up money?

It doesn't matter whether Roland is slick or well-rounded, anyway, these things are things they never had and wanted to have, and in this case, if they were not enthusiastic at the party at Roland's house, who would be there? eager?

Children's favorite, maybe it's true.

But the pursuit of adults...

This is hard to say!

What's more, in the case of foresight, all kinds of box office data are actually not attractive to him, because all the excitement has exploded as early as the moment he got the project, and in the After learning the inside story of the operation, the pursuit of these guys in front of him made him even more bored...

Why?

Because what they like is not the movie itself.

But someone who can make a movie more valuable!

Since you don't like me, why should I fight with you?

Just like Roland was able to play games with Spielberg crazily, only this kind of communication method can be regarded as a friend.

"Aunt Ganetti, if you feel tired, then let's end earlier..."

Looking into the distance, the parents of the children who were eager to communicate, Roland, who was holding Elizabeth, patted the little guy's paw, signaling the girl not to chew on the buttons of her clothes with her mouth.

For him, all pursuits and celebrations are troublesome things.

If it wasn't because James likes this kind of occasion, and he seems to be pursuing the girls in the class, Roland would not have agreed to that little chubby **** and made this kind of celebration party!

With this free time, wouldn’t it be nice to take the three little lolis out to play?

What's more, when Fox fully agreed to his request, the contract of "Home Alone 2" was officially finalized. Although the contract has not yet been signed, no one would change their minds in such a matter.

Roland wants the copyright, and Fox doesn't want to provoke people on Wall Street. Since both parties get what they want, what's the point of signing the contract? We are all smart people, no one will drop the table temporarily.

"End earlier? It's ok..."historical

"But this, you have to announce..."

"After all, you are the host of the party today..."

Ganetti glanced at Roland, and she could deeply feel that Roland's interest in Elizabeth even surpassed the whole party itself - but she could also understand that, regardless of the box office figures or people's pursuit, all of these are It's just a quantifiable number. Apart from bringing great help to Roland's career, it won't actually change much in his life. He still has to eat, drink, and sleep. was arranged.

However, Roland is much luckier than those guys who are stared at by public relations every day.

Backed against the mountain, no one will keep making him run for announcements.

What publicity, dinner, party, endorsement?

You can go if you want to go, don’t go if you don’t want to go, pick up if you want to pick up, don’t pick up if you don’t want to pick up...

As a product on the industrial assembly line, Roland didn't have to worry about being squeezed out by the brokerage company at all, let alone recording a show in the middle of the night, and suddenly died on himself.

Compared with other artists, he is lucky.

But it was this kind of luck that allowed him to gain a lot of attention that should not belong to him.

However, no matter how annoying he is, those people with ulterior motives will still exist!

This is as big as the forest, and there are all kinds of birds, isn't it the same reason?

In this way, when Roland heard that Aunt Ganetti wanted him to end everything in front of him, he patted Elizabeth on his lap and said, "Hey! It's time for you to contribute..."

"Every time I hug you, you will tear my clothes."

"For the sake of your young age, I have never bothered with you."

"But today, you have to do me a favor—"

Note: ①Jeremy Meeks, the most handsome criminal in the United States, was arrested for illegally possessing weapons and carrying out terrorist acts on the streets, but because he was so handsome, he signed a contract with a brokerage company as a model while serving his sentence. Now it is getting mixed up with Chloe Green, the daughter of Bhs department store chain owner Philip Green (No. 617 on the Forbes Rich List in 2019). ②From 1940 to 1972, the United States implemented a conscription system. At that time, it was necessary to go if there were no accidents, but many people had accidents. As for how many people had accidents, except for Comrade Guan Hai, none of them is problematic.
