Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 52 Different kind of fitness training (recommendation ticket requested)

Actually, to be honest, Roland doesn't dislike those professional trainings. After all, if he wants to work in this industry, he has to learn a lot of things.

Let's take equestrianism as an example, whether it was the "Jade Goddess Horse" by the jade woman Elizabeth Taylor, or the "Red Star Trilogy" by Clint Eastwood later, or the "Best of the Dead" directed by Spielberg. , "War Horse", which tells the story of horses fighting and floating. The horse riding scenes in these movies are all real shots. They will not make you a fake horse running on the track, and then let the staff wave branches to shape An illusion of a galloping horse.

If you don’t know how to ride a horse, then learn it. If you get injured, we’ll wait for you, but if you can’t learn it, then I’m sorry.

Because we have to say goodbye to you.

Every Hollywood actor's contract will clearly mark, after you sign the contract, how long you have to master what kind of skills. Persevere, but if you don’t, the crew will also pay to find a teacher, and let you go within a limited time. If you don’t finish it on time, you will be considered a breach of contract and you will have to lose money.

No way, an actor contract is equivalent to a contract of sale.

During the contract period, the actors from top to bottom, from inside to outside, are under the control of the crew.

Henry Cavill's beard is the best proof.

Millions of beards are rare in the world.

Of course, these rules and regulations are actually for the service of the work.

The pre-shooting training for film and television dramas such as "Saving Private Ryan", "Band of Brothers", "Bourne Shadow" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" are all to make these works better.

Under the constraints of the contract, no actor will say No, even Tom Hanks will abide by the requirements of the crew.

So, after getting the schedule notified by the crew, even though Roland was surprised, he didn't choose to fight, but went to the destination to report on time.

Only this time, the guy who sent him there was David's assistant.

That Mohamy, who has been with Roland for half a year, has no time to care about him now.

After confirming that Roland won the "Terminator 2" project, Mohamy also settled down to mess with the company with his companions.

"Is this right here?"

When Roland, who was standing on the side of the street, raised his head and looked at the huge advertising sign.

The door with gold letters on a black background appeared in his sight. Not only that, but there was also a bodybuilding logo on the sign.

Facing his inquiry, the male assistant standing aside took out the form in the briefcase, scanned it for a while, and then said in a positive tone: "Yes, the address on the schedule is here."

"Then why is the door closed?"

Looking at the sign marked 'Sorry weare closed' hanging on the inner doorknob, Roland frowned.

It is broad daylight now, why is the door of the fitness club closed?

This question stumped the accompanying assistant.

Just as he was pondering whether he should lie on the door and try to peek inside through the glass, as a fake thief who might be shot at any time, or take out his mobile phone and call for help, a figure suddenly appeared .

The staff in uniform opened the door, and said to Roland with a smile, "Roland Allen?"

"Nice to meet you."

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, because it's an internal training, during the training period, our gym will not be open to outsiders, so I followed the boss's wishes and hung up the sign of closure."

"Please come in, the boss has arrived."

What?

Internal training?

boss?

When Roland followed the other party into the gym, he kept repeating what the other party had just said in his mind.

In order to shoot a movie, Cameron deliberately asked the crew to open a gym?

This, seems a little too much, right?

Could it be that compared with Nolan’s sideline corn farmer, the truck driver’s deputy is actually the owner of the gym?

It's no wonder that Roland would think so, who makes Hollywood guys more weird than one?

Among other things, let’s talk about Leonardo who likes to ride a bicycle.

I don’t get married, I’m a supermodel every day, what’s the result?

is a daughter slave!

The point is, the little Loli Ruby was not born by himself, but by his friend Maguire.

Helping other people's children can be so exciting, this really makes people doubt his motives.

And when Roland followed the staff up to the second floor with weird ideas, the sound of metal hitting due to metal collisions immediately attracted his attention.

Looking in the direction of the sound, a mountain of meat appeared in his sight.

"Is this your boss?" Roland asked.

Although he didn't see the front, Roland had already guessed the other party's identity.

The only thing that can make muscles attach to the body like a rock, except for the stone man, the teammate of Captain America, is the only T-800.

"Yeah." The staff member nodded, and after completing the task, he turned around and wanted to leave the place.

However, just as he was going downstairs, he suddenly remembered something, stopped in his tracks and instructed: "When our boss finishes this set, you go up, don't disturb his rhythm, or something will happen."

Roland had read the gym safety warning manual attached to the crew before arriving.

Nodding without objection, following his reply, the staff responsible for leading the way also disappeared with interest.

It seemed that he had heard their conversation, but it was more like the exercise had been completed; Roland just looked around and looked at the venue casually. It took less than three minutes in total. The future governor who sat on the machine and stretched wildly, It has already stopped.

Looking at the burly man with red face, like Guan Gong, and bulging veins, resembling a beard, Roland leaned forward very consciously.

After reading all the instructions, he didn't speak immediately, but picked up the towel placed aside, wrapped it around the other's right hand, then picked up the water bottle, lifted the lid to reveal the opening inside, and directly put the straw, sent to the mouth of the governor.

The governor raised his eyebrows neatly, opened his mouth to grab the straw, and at the same time he raised his hand and touched the top of his head, "I didn't do exhaustion training, but seeing you like this, it must have put me Finished reading the manual for you."

Although the two met for the first time and did not say hello, after hearing the governor's brisk words, Roland shrugged with a smile, as if talking to an old friend, and said directly: "I did read the manual , but I don't know, my fitness trainer is actually you?"

That's right, when Roland found out that the owner of this gym was Schwarzenegger, he guessed the identity of the other party.

Amerika has countless fitness coaches, but for the "Terminator 2" crew, no matter who they hire, Schwarzenegger is not suitable. Compared with those coaches who need wages, Arnold can train. I took the class smoothly.

Of course, asking a guy like Schwarzenegger, who has been on the throne of Mr. Olympia seven times in a row, to teach Roland is a bit strange, especially when the teaching is taking place in the other party's own place. It's even more incomprehensible. The point is, the other party is still WhiteHouse's fitness consultant...

However, before Roland asked, how Cameron invited him out of the mountain, the governor, who had already received the water bottle, tilted his head, and was very interested in what Roland said about the fitness trainer.

"You mean coach?"

"Oh come on!"

"That's all a lie made up by James."

"You are only ten years old, you can do normal exercise, what kind of body do you want?"

"He asked you to come here, just hoping that we can communicate more before the filming starts."

“In his words, it was, ‘Arnold! In Terminator, you only have seventeen lines, and you know why? Because when you say a line, I want to laugh!’”

Schwarzenegger winked at Roland, without the slightest jerkyness when they first met.

After hearing the other party's words, Roland was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled and nodded.

Yes, at Roland's age, he is growing up. He can learn anything, but he can't play hard.

If he practiced with the governor at his age, he would probably suffer from physical problems before long. At that time, the fun would be great.

The reason why Cameron arranged fitness classes for him was only to allow him to follow Schwarzenegger for proper exercise, and the rest of the time outside of exercise was for them to cultivate their relationship.

You heard me right, even two men, in Cameron's view, have to cultivate feelings.

Why?

Because the governor has not filmed an emotional scene so far!

Counting from the first movie "Conan the Barbarian" that made him famous, to the subsequent "Predator" and "Total Recall", the governor's acting skills have improved rapidly, and his Austrian accent has been completely abandoned by him. He has a tough guy style He has captured many fans, but so far, he has rarely tasted emotions on the screen.

Of course, the reason why the governor gave up his emotions may be because he can't control these scenes, or it may be related to his wife Maria, but no matter what the reason is, the devil robot in "Terminator 2" has to be There is a certain amount of emotional outpouring.

This kind of emotion was not formed with Sarah Connor, but with John Connor.

In the last scene of the film, when the T-800 fell into the lava, the raised thumb is the embodiment of humanity.

Before that, the adventure journey of T-800 and John Connor was the process of transformation of both parties.

John Connor, who lives in a foster family, has no father. He regards the Devil Terminator, who is controlled by the program and can only complete the orders of his master, as his father. The Devil Terminator from the future escapes from the program and eventually goes to self-destruct.

The father-son relationship between man and machine cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

Instead of yelling at two guys who have never had a relationship while filming.

It’s better to let them get along for a while to cultivate their relationship before shooting starts.

Of course, emotional cultivation before filming is the most commonly used method in Hollywood—only for children.

Most of the children are unable to understand the emotions described by the director in a short period of time. Therefore, it is particularly critical to spend time in advance to let the children and the protagonist get to know each other.

The most classic examples are Tom Hanks and Michael Humphreys.

In order to film "Forrest Gump", Tom Hanks deliberately spent a period of time with each other.

The purpose is to learn the other party's accent and understand the other party's action habits.

Although "Terminator 2" is just a commercial movie.

But in order not to let his 100 million yuan hit the street, Cameron must of course take every detail seriously.

And this is actually the fitness class that Roland wants to learn.

"oh…"

"Is that so?"

"I thought I was going to practice like you, against these machines."

When Roland understood the cause and effect of the matter, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Before coming, he would get hairy at the thought that he might build a muscle club.

After learning that he was classified as one of his own by Spielberg, he didn't want to take the path of a special actor like Dwayne Johnson.

Although Johnson’s eyebrow shaking performance is cool, and Uncle Wolf’s beard and enlarged abs are super handsome, but—

Like them, maintaining a strong figure all the year round is actually very exhausting.

After all, not everyone is a governor, and after heart surgery, he can still push iron like crazy.

More people are actually like Hugh Jackman. When the illness strikes, they will feel pain to keep in shape.

"Of course not."

Seeing the relaxed and exhaled look of the little guy, the governor who had already recovered covered the water bottle, and smiled at Roland, "Whoever I ask to practice, I won't let you practice, in case you become a 'tough guy', Then I'm going to be out of luck."

Although the governor's words were very vague, Roland could understand what the governor meant.

Since he married Maria Shriver and became WhiteHouse's fitness consultant, he will no longer offend the Jewish gang. Not only that, but for him, the Jewish consortium is the one he needs to win the most strength.

In fact, when he learned from Cameron how Roland won the role of John Connor, he readily accepted the position of fitness trainer, because for him, with this identity, You can rub against Roland openly and get into the crew of "Captain Hook" next door.

And this is also the real reason why he skipped greetings and talked directly to Roland with a smile.

He wanted to get rid of the strangeness between the two parties as quickly as possible.

If Roland was only a ten-year-old child, he might not be able to understand Schwarzenegger's words.

But now—

Even if he knew, he would 'subconsciously' ignore the other party's hints.

"Okay, how do we cultivate our relationship?" Roland changed the subject.

"Anyway, we have three months, why don't we practice for a while?"

"I can play football and basketball, but I haven't touched fitness."

"Oh, Roland, don't worry." Although Roland didn't follow the governor's words, he didn't pay attention to these details.

Instead, he put down the water glass and said with a smile, "There's one more person who hasn't arrived yet?"

"Another person? Who is it?" Roland asked.

"Of course your mom in the movie, Sarah Connor."

"Linda Hamilton."

Note: ① Explain the governor’s ambiguous attitude in this chapter: After the governor married Kennedy’s niece in 1986, he chose to embark on an official career. While the guys in WhiteHouse were hostile to the Germans, the governor also donated money to the Jewish Association to build mausoleums, nursing homes, hospitals and other public facilities for them. Since he married Maria, he has always wanted to get on the line with the Jews ( This is his motivation). On May 2, 2014, when Spielberg delivered a speech at the United Nations, he announced that he would establish a research center on massacres and ethnic issues at the University of Southern California on the basis of the original "Holocaust Foundation". Many reports say that he has been preparing for "Schindler's List" for ten years. Yes, he should be the most suitable director in the world to make this movie, because the predecessor of the Foundation was run by his father, and it was dedicated to Collecting evidence of the persecution and massacre of Jews is why Scorsese refused to direct the film. The Jewish Gang knew that only he could make this film (this is the institution that the governor wants to approach and donate to). ②It’s not been a day or two since Xiao Lizi took Spider-Man’s baby, and Ruby called him daddy directly. ③Before filming, it is one of Hollywood's routine methods to let children and actors develop emotions. Hanks did learn children's accents specifically for filming.
