Chapter 37

Tang En recruited 42 people from the grassroots class to serve as his royal staff. However, two of them were too muddy to support the wall. They were delicious and lazy and had been fired.

These people are not enough to shoot a high-end Hollywood movie. For this reason, Tang En enjoyed CAA's "semi-packaged" service.

The cast's lack of extras and crew members are supplemented by CAA operations. To this end, the crew has to pay an additional $ 2 million.

Sofia Coppola, relying on the relationship, took the CAA channel and entered the crew of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".

The reason is simple. She wants to meet Donne Walker, the most famous young director in Hollywood today.

Sophia came from the top-level Coppola family in Hollywood and started acting at a very young age, but a "Godfather 3" directly ruined her acting career.

Sophia Coppola, 26, is determined to make the transition, taking over his father 's baton as a director!

In fact, as early as three years ago, she wanted to become a director, but she was unanimously opposed by the family. How can a woman be so young and make a good movie?

It was not until the release of "Titanic", shot by an 18-year-old this year, that it caused a sensation in the world, that changed the views of the Coppola family.

Times have changed.

Give young people a chance!

Sophia Coppola had the chance to direct the film, but she was very cautious and humble. Knowing that she lacked experience and lacked control, she entered Tang's crew through her father's relationship and wanted to see this for herself. The ways and means of a young director's control of a crew are put to practical use.

After coming to the crew, Sophia really found that the entire crew of "My Grand Greek Wedding" was honored by Donn Walker, which made her quite surprised and admired.

Sophia's job is to help the director's group. To put it bluntly, she is obedient to the director, assistant director, assistant director, etc. to run errands for them.

However, her fame is too great, except for Tang En and Nicole, the whole crew is her biggest wrist, no one dare to instruct her.

At this moment, Sophia Coppola is following the side director Andy Thompson, silently learning how he coordinates actors and directs lines.

Andy Thompson is an uncle who is almost fifty years old and surprisingly kind. Sofia can't help but question: "Andy, they are just a few extras. You should be serious, otherwise you can't shake them! "

Sophia since childhood in his father's side, the director's career is not ignorant.

Andy Thompson shook his head with a smile. "Sofia, the extras have a hard life. They have dreams but can't see hope. If we use shock to control them, we can finish the filming, but the rigid emotions can easily be brought into the play. . In a gentle way, to inspire and guide them, they can often shoot unexpected results. "

Sophia Coppola was very surprised, this is a message she had never received with her father," Andy, your job The method is really amazing! "

Andy Thompson waved his hand and laughed:" Nothing amazing, two months ago, I was an extra! "

" Why ... what? "

Sophia thought she had heard it wrong and blinked. After a few eyes, "Andy, you're really joking."

Andy Thompson frowned, straight: "Sophia, I'm not kidding. In fact, two of us were mixed in Hollywood two months ago. The bottom layer is that the boss recruited us into the company. "

Sophia looked stiff and stunned for a long time. Andy Thompson said she didn't believe it!

Even if Donn Walker is a genius, he can't be bold enough to make a fool of a movie that has invested tens of millions of dollars.

She found cameraman Alice Moore.

Sophia Coppola's specialty is photography, so she can see Alice Moore's professional skills and proficient skills. On several occasions, Alice's framing suggestions have been highly appreciated by even Donn Walker.

This can't always be from the bottom, right?

Female photographers are rare. It is absolutely impossible to bury a photographer with the level of Alice Moore.

"Alice, your job is awesome! Can you easily ask, what was your occupation before then?" Sophia tried to word it as much as possible, and she respected such excellent female videographers.

Alice Moore so confused she asked, "Before the occupation, cameraman, ah, how?"

"You filmed a movie?"

"Filmed ah."

"Made several?"

"There are always dozens of Right? "

" Bragging! "Sophia rolled her eyes secretly, and she didn't believe it. But she also smiled happily. I just said that such an excellent cameraman must be professional. How could it be from the bottom?

"It's nothing, just ask casually. Just now Andy said that they are all from the grassroots class, I don't believe it."

"Oh, it's that!" Alice Moore waved her hands with ridicule, "Andy said Yes, I do come from the grass roots. "

Sophia was confused, frowning delicately, and said unhappyly:" Alice, I really have a question, I'm not kidding! "

Alice said in surprise:" I'm not kidding either I did come from the grass roots. "

" Don't you say you've made several ... dozens of movies? "Sophia was so angry that she didn't understand why this kind of scammers were in Donn Walker's crew.

"I have indeed made dozens of movies!"

Alice Moore saw Sophia look angry and irritated, a little funny, "Well, Sophia, you misunderstood, the movie I said told you The film is different. "

" Huh? "

Sophia's brows frowned even tighter.

"I'm from the San Fernando Valley." Alice paused, fearing that the young lady didn't understand, and added, "This is the place to make adult films for men and women."

Sophia Coppola felt a bang in her head, The whole person's world view, life view, and values ​​have collapsed!

The little stars that filled Sophia's open mouth could be stuffed with an apple.

It took a long time before Sophia came back to her, muttering: "But ... how could he know you? He called you for a Hollywood movie?"

"You mean the boss?" Alice shrugged, " Then I do n't know. I may have seen the film I made. After all ... my works are still selling well. "

Sophia's face was almost distorted, and her fair face had wonderful colors.

...

"Yesterday, my brother saw you two kissing in the parking lot! Then my brother told my mother, my mother told me, I told your mother again, and then ... East, window, things, hair!"

Watching Sophia Coppola has no idea what to say about this outstanding performance of a small character that I do n't know where to catch.

Among the three deputy directors of Tang En, the best one is only David Knight, who has been in attendance at NUC for two years. However, his ability to guide actors is really better than her father's assistant.

And Nicole Kidman's performance, from the very beginning to be at a loss, became more skillful.

Looking at her completely ugly face, it's hard to imagine that this is Mrs. Cruise, a peerless woman. Nicole Kidman is quietly changing under the continuous criticism of Down.

Sophia stared at Don En Walker, who was staring at the full-bodied drama, with a complex expression.

"CUT!" Tang En shouted, "Very good, Nicole, I admire your professional attitude. This one is over. Take a rest for twenty minutes. Next, we will take a family meeting."

Nicole Kidman breathed a sigh of relief, not to mention that she had just been praised by Tang En, but she was breathless. She had been tossed out of energy for a long time, and relied on professionalism and perseverance.

"Sofia, I've never seen such a stubborn director! Is your father ... Mr. Coppola, the same?" Nicole Kidman didn't want to talk to Down, and found Sophia directly.

Sophia stared at Nicole's angry face, feeling a little lost. "Nicole, you misunderstood Tang En."

"Misunderstanding?" Nicole sneered, "Do you think I don't know what that guy is thinking? Every night he Go to my room, do you know what he means? He tortured me and made me soft! "

Sophia froze, and immediately raised her face," Nicole, you are wrong! In fact, Tang En He goes to my room every night and asks me something, but what about it? He is only 19 years old. Isn't this what a young man like him should do? "

" You ... "

Nicole Kidman was a bit disoriented, and she didn't expect Sophia to say that.

Sophia said positively: "Nicole, you are a very good professional actor. I see it all, but please also believe in the professional attitude of Tang En, okay? He will ask for some ... but this is only limited to The relationship between men and women will never be related to the filming of the movie, do you understand? "

" But he has been tortured me! Constantly tortured me! Crazy tortured me! "

Nicole Kidman clutched his hair, like crazy .

Sophia's face was solemn. She was a bystander, and she could see Tang En's intentions. "Nicole, I hope you don't look at Tang En with malicious intentions. He ... he has a bad mind, but he is not a bad person, you understand You said he tortured you, then I can tell you responsibly, Nicole, your performance during this time is the best you have ever seen since I knew you! "

" Ah? Yes ... Yes Is it? "

Nicole Kidman was startled, and she was only angry with Tang En, just like the big men in the circle who were always around her and constantly threatening.

After hearing Sophia's words, she suddenly realized that Tang En ... seemed to be really different. In private, he never mentioned movies, and in the crew, he never mentioned personal matters.

If you want to say yes, it is just "borrowing power", not "threat".

"It seems ... it's really a misunderstanding ..."

Nicole Kidman muttered to himself, a little dazed.
