Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 20 Two crews, one skill

The business that Roland said was of course going to the set to learn from the experience.

Thirty days of venting and relaxation completely silenced Roland's restless heart.

The time loop on New Year's Day is equivalent to going to jail?

No-

The world is as big as the heart.

During the time he was playing wantonly, the previous interpersonal relationships that were forced by the task and had a sense of stagnation were completely gone at this moment.

Now, even if he sees his old friend from yesterday, he can still get to know him again with a smile.

Because of this, Roland thought of going to Universal Studios for the first time after abandoning utilitarianism.

Because he found that his previous efforts were too purposeful.

After more than 100 days of practice, he can control Kevin in "Home Alone", but what about another movie type?

Is he going to spend time preparing to figure it out again?

Since this is the case, it is better to take a look at the types that you can touch in the time loop.

After all, Hollywood’s big studios are not comparable to any professional school in the world.

So, on the 153rd New Year's Day, Roland followed Ganetti and got into the field.

Although it is the New Year, there are still many filming crews in Universal Studios.

The "Havana" directed by Sidney Pollack is in full swing here.

"Havana" is a gray and melancholy love story, set in the crisis-ridden Havana from Christmas Eve to New Year's Eve in 1958, when Cuba's Batista dictatorship was being replaced by the power led by Castro, and Robert -The professional gambler Jack played by Redford witnessed all this from the perspective of an outsider.

Although the box office of this movie is not good and the reputation is not good, after all, Sidney Pollack is the guy who won the best picture and best director for "Out of Africa", and the protagonist Robert Redford also has the most Director Jia's statuette is in hand, and seeing the real shots of these two big shots on the spot will definitely benefit a lot.

However, after Roland sneaked past, he realized that what he thought was a little too good.

"Ma'am, I want to ask, is there no filming here today?" Looking at the crowded studio, Roland frowned.

Wearing a shirt and holding a walkie-talkie, the blond woman directed the scene without turning her head and said, "Filming? We only started setting the scene today, how can we film?"

"Then you mean that neither the director nor the leading actor will come today?" Roland felt a little regretful.

"Yeah, they're not coming today..." After explaining what was at hand, the blond woman turned her head decisively, and when she saw Roland's figure, the unfinished words came to an abrupt end, replaced by doubts Ask: "Hey, wait, which crew are you from? How did you come to our place?"

There is no need for those big bosses to set up the interior scene. Not only that, they don't even have the intention of supervising the work.

Except for the busy production director and the crowd like worker ants, Roland couldn't even find an actor.

"Unlucky...Unlucky..."

After escaping from the female production director, looking at the studio flooded with dust, Roland swore that he would never come again in the subsequent time loop.

The result of opening the door black made Roland feel a little embarrassed, but even so, on the 154th New Year's Day, he was still not discouraged, and directly got into the crew of "Crying Baby" on the Universal Studios.

This movie is Johnny Depp's debut from the small screen to the big screen.

This is a campus youth comedy film, and the word-of-mouth and box office have both collapsed. It is of no help to Roland at any time, but—

He doesn't care about these details.

The reason why he came here was because when he was explaining the movie "Domestic Lingling Paint" by Master Xing, there was a line in it that he would never forget: "In ancient times, Guan Yunchang was engrossed in playing chess to scrape bones and heal poison, but now I, Ling Lingqi, concentrate on it." Watch ** dig bones and get warheads." - In "Domestic Lingling Paint", the love and romantic action movie "Mandy's Awakening" that Xing Ye watched was made by one of the heroines of "Crying Baby", Starred by Chihi Lords.

How Chihi Lords made his way from the San Fernando Valley to Hollywood?

Roland didn't know.

But what he knows is that since there is such a precedent, if Matthew Horner had followed, it is estimated that he would have become popular faster?

Of course, these unrealistic ideas are just passing through his head.

He came here today not to see how Depp performed, nor how the director directed, but to know how iconic the female star that the star master can specifically mention is.

However-

After staying in the crew of "Crying Baby" for a while, Roland could no longer take his eyes off Depp.

Was Roland attracted by Depp's graceful dance?

fart.

Roland was bewildered seeing the group of demons dancing wildly.

As a musical, the songs are faked and the dances are real, but Depp's clumsy movements are not as coquettish as Captain Jack? The awkward appearance of uncoordinated hands and feet is completely comparable to the semi-finished robot Edward!

And when he thought of the cult movies that Depp and Tim Burton would create in the future, Roland shuddered.

If the hands and feet are uncoordinated, then you can’t even make a movie?

Then, shall I take the opportunity to make up for it?

For Roland, learning to dance is actually the most accessible skill in the cycle.

The reason is very simple.

Aunt Garnettie was a Broadway dancer before she married David.

For this kind of thing that can be taught as long as you ask for it, Roland doesn't practice it for nothing.

What's more, dancing can not only enhance Roland's body flexibility, but also exercise his physical fitness.

If you want to get involved in Hollywood, these two items are essential.

Don't you see, Nicolas Cage, a literary man, ended up shooting action movies. Roland didn't strengthen himself in the time loop. After he went out, the fun would be great.

As for whether it would be embarrassing for men to dance?

Guys like Brother Xiao Ma with a net worth of tens of billions can dance Tuchuang 101 on stage, and they are not ashamed. Roland, who is serious about learning skills, is a coward!

So, after going back that night, Roland expressed his appeal to Aunt Ganetti.

"Do you want to learn to dance?" Ganetti, who was tasting mushroom cream soup, looked at Roland in surprise.

"Why do you suddenly want to learn this?"

"Because I watched Johnny and the others dance at Universal Studios today, and it was quite interesting."

Roland, who had been prepared for a long time, said, "They seem to be imitating Elvis Presley's movements? It's very cool!"

"Johnny?" After hearing this address, Ganetti was stunned for a moment, and immediately reported the other party's full name, "Johnny Depp?" After seeing Roland nodding, he even ignored Roland He asked in a high-pitched tone, "Oh! Baby! Why did you go to their crew today?"

"Is nothing wrong?"

"I tell you, you are not allowed to deal with this kind of person, understand?"

The words like a cannonball combined with the slightly panicked and stern eyes made Roland feel warm in his heart.

At this moment, Ganetti is like an old hen protecting its calf.

Johnny Depp has been slandering grass for more than a day or two. How could Garnett know about his misbehavior?

Garnett, who used to be on Broadway, of course understands that there are almost no clean-cut guys in the circle. The crowds coming and going, the parties of the rich and the rich, and the hands full of temptation may pull you into the abyss under the glitz at any time.

As for what is hidden in the darkness?

This is something that various news media are too lazy to dig into.

Unless it is really impossible to cover up, otherwise, who would do this kind of thing that might bring the stars together?

"Of course I know." Roland looked at the other party with a serious face. He hoped that Ganetti could believe in himself, "I just think dancing is interesting. If you don't want me to get too close to them, I just don't go tomorrow." .”

‘Anyway, I went to see girls. ’ Roland quietly added in his heart.

"Really?" Ganetti raised an eyebrow.

"Of course." Roland nodded seriously.

"Ok, what dance do you want to learn?" Seeing Roland's straightforward answer, Ganetti didn't get too entangled in this matter.

What dance do you want to learn?

This question stumped Roland.

He doesn’t know much about this thing, so how does he know what he should learn?

Looking at each other for a few seconds, just when Ganetti thought that Roland was just saying it on a whim, Roland suddenly had an idea and said: "I don't know what kind of dance it is, but—as long as it can match the song style of "Come and get your love", I can learn."

What?

Ganetti suspected that his ears had misheard.

"Are you saying that again? What style?"

Note: ① John Waters, the director of "Crying Baby", has confirmed that the songs are faked and the dances are real. The point is that Depp can't dance well. How embarrassing is Depp dancing? When he was filming "Chocolate", he took the initiative to tell director Russ Hallstrom that if possible, the dancing part should be cut out. Not only that, but the reason why Tim Burton, who had already filmed "Batman" at that time, asked Depp, an unknown guy, to film "Edward Scissorhands" was because after watching "Crying Baby", he felt that when Depp danced His movements were too uncoordinated, like a robot, so he was asked to audition. ②The heroine of the movie Master Xing watched was indeed the second female lead in "Crying Baby".
