Chapter 12 Really Smells! (ask for a recommendation ticket) f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

Although Garnetti didn't know what her husband and Roland were messing around with, since the two had a request, she took advantage of her daughter's filming break to communicate with the director of "Full House".

Faced with this project recommended by himself, the director in charge of the new episode, Howard Storm, was a little surprised.

Because he clearly remembers that when Ganetti was looking for a role, he only put forward the vision of letting the adopted children grow up healthily, and had no intention of bringing them into the circle.

However, Ganetti has already opened his mouth to ask questions, so he has no intention of hiding.

"According to Director Howard, he also learned the news from his friend Robin Williams."

"It's the same Robin who filmed "Good Morning Vietnam" and "Dead Poets Society."

"Howard said that Robin specifically emphasized that recommending past school-age children must have a blank resume."

"No acting experience whatsoever."

"Because the leader of this audition is not the producer John Hughes, but Chris Columbus."

"It was he who asked the crew to hold auditions."

What?

David, who was driving, frowned and glanced at the central rearview mirror.

Roland, who was sitting in the back row, also narrowed his eyes slightly.

Both of them felt that something was wrong.

David's known information was all given by Roland, and in Roland's memory, the protagonist of "Home Alone" was clearly finalized by John Hughes. If this is the case, how could the audition be with Chris- About Columbus?

The doubts of the two were not discovered by Ganetti.

She tore open the envelope and glanced at the words on the paper, her speech speed gradually accelerated.

“The John Hughes and Chris Columbus project called Home Alone.”

“Behind this project, there are countless problems.”

"In the beginning, this script was made for Warner, and half of the copyright was in Warner's hands."

"Warner at the time was very interested in this project."

"However, when John Hughes submitted the complete script to Warner's Green Light Committee, Warner did not plan to continue investing because the revenue of his three consecutive films did not meet expectations. They directly reduced the budget from 20 million to Two million."

"This humiliating decision made John Hughes very angry."

"Although the project was stopped by Warner, John Hughes did not give up. He began to return to the state when he first entered the industry. He submitted his book to the producers of various companies, and was finally accepted by the producers of Fox. Mark Levinson took a fancy to it, and under the operation of the other party, this project came from Warner to Fox's name."

"However, after Fox got this project, he was unwilling to invest too much money."

"But he didn't tell John Hughes, but asked him to find the director first."

"After looking for it, I found Chris Columbus's head."

"Chris Columbus is very interested in this project. He thinks this is the best story he has seen in a few years, so he used his relationship to finalize the two important roles in the movie in advance. gone."

"One of them is Joe Pesci."

"I starred in Martin Scorsese's "Raging Bull" with Robert De Niro."

"The other is Daniel Stern, who starred in "Farewell to Yesterday."

"It is precisely because of the two of them joining that Fox is willing to formally invest."

"Although the film "Home Alone" is produced by John Hughes' film company, his rights have actually been eaten away by Chris Columbus. Director Columbus is the promoter of the project. After he finalized the After the two important roles, John Hughes is left with the protagonist who is currently being auditioned. Although the director of Columbus really wants to include the choice of the protagonist in his scope of work, John Hughes does not want to Completely emptied."

"Because you told me before that you just brought Roland over there for fun, that's why Director Howard recommended this project to me—in his and Robin's opinion, the protagonist, Chris and John, may still be fighting for a long time .”

Roland didn't know how he got back into the study. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

When David pushed the mellow aroma of coffee in front of him, he recovered and laughed immediately.

This is really God's will!

He, Roland, is the koi favored by the heavens!

David was still telling Roland early in the morning that John Hughes is not a top producer in Hollywood, and the rights he can get are not as mysterious as rumors from the outside world. In the afternoon, Ganetti brought him The news that John Hughes has been dismissed for the most part?

Except for the script, the main actors and investment are not brought in by the producer?

It also-

Is it too low?

Through previous auditions and past life memories, Roland thought that John Hughes was a producer with a strong desire for control, so after learning about his recurring goal, he seemed very depressed.

available now—

John Hughes is simply a strong outsider!

The movie hasn't been shot yet!

The infighting among the crew has already begun!

"You already have an idea?" David asked with a smile after taking a sip of his coffee.

"Yes, the prototype has come out." Roland also took a sip, and the bitter taste made him close his eyes.

When Roland learned that the leader of the audition was Chris Columbus.

He understood that there was a lot of room for manipulation.

The current Chris Columbus is far from being as famous as he will be in the future.

Not only that, but he didn't have absolutely excellent grades in his hands.

The two films he directed were lukewarm, but even so, he was still able to get investment from Fox.

Why?

Isn't it because of the scripts he wrote "Little Goblins", "The Goblins", and "Breakthrough" that Spielberg took a fancy to!

Of the first four works of his debut, three were chosen by Spielberg.

Spielberg personally wrote the script and put it on the screen.

This relationship is much tougher than John Hughes, who has no backer!

In his previous life, when he was making the commentary video of "Home Alone", Roland emphasized to his fans that the success of the movie was inseparable from the two gold-medal supporting actors. After the director invited—

The context of the matter became clearer.

In front of the producer center system, what he needs to impress is John Hughes who already has a candidate in his heart?

fart!

What he needs to please is Columbus, who has joined the Jewish gang, has Spielberg as his backer, and can talk directly to investors!

John Hughes was suspended, which is good news for him.

Thinking of this, Roland, who was savoring the bitterness of his coffee, opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling with burning eyes.

It was the first time that Roland discovered that it was the right decision to enter the industry at this age.

Thanks for the time loop!

It smells so good!

Note: ①The power of "Home Alone" is very complicated, because John Hughes's performance is not good, "Parents of the World" invested 20 million to invest 16 million at the box office, and "Summer Raiders" invested 24 million to 4,100 Millions of box office, "Uncle Buck" performance rebounded, but John Hughes himself voted a lot, Warner deducted the distribution according to the contract ratio, which means no money, so Warner didn't want to pay attention to "Home Alone", because Warner has the copyright, so John Hughes Stein cast a wide net, and producer Mark Levinson finally got it to Fox. Fox did not give much more budget than Warner at that time. It was after Columbus hired Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern that Fox really paid attention to this project. Although John Hughes was dissatisfied, he did not fall out with the other party because Columbus If you leave, the whole project will be yellow again. ②Although Columbus became popular with "Home Alone", but before that, the three films of "Little Monsters" had already allowed him to break into Spielberg's Jewish gang circle. The reason why he was able to Joe Pesci was invited because he was invited to attend the preview of Martin Scorsese's movie "Goodfellas" before it was released. He felt that Joe Pesci was suitable for the role of the thief, so he invited him directly. It hit it off. (The information comes from the 25th anniversary interview of "Home Alone", which was personally confirmed by Director Columbus.) ③ Howard Storm, the director of "Full House", really knows Robin Williams, "Merck and Mindy" This TV series was filmed by Howard and Robin, and it was also the first step of Robin's fire.
