Chapter 37 Crazy Coppola

Tang En recruited 42 people from the grassroots class as his royal team, but two of them were really too mud to support the wall, and they were lazy and had been fired.

These personnel are not enough to shoot a high-end Hollywood movie, and for this reason, Don En enjoyed the "semi-packaged" service from CAA.

The crew lacks temporary actors and crew members, all are supplemented by the CAA operation. For this purpose, the crew will pay an additional $2 million in compensation.

Sofia Coppola relied on her relationship and went through the CAA channel and joined the crew of "My Grand Greek Wedding".

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

Sofia comes from the Coppola family, the top Hollywood family, and started acting at a young age. However, the movie "The Godfather 3" directly ruined her acting career.

Sofia Coppola, 26 years old this year, has been determined to transform, take over his father's baton and become a director!

In fact, as early as three years ago, she wanted to transform into a director, but was unanimously opposed by the family. How could a woman, who is so young, make a good movie?

It was not until the release of "Titanic" filmed by an 18-year-old child this year and caused a fanatical sensation around the world that the Coppola family's views changed.

Times have changed.

Youths should be given a chance!

Sofia Coppola has the opportunity to direct a movie, but she is very cautious and modest. She knows that she lacks experience and lacks control, so she joined Tang En's crew through her father's relationship, hoping to see with her own eyes the way this young director controls the crew and put it into practice.

After coming to the crew, Sophia indeed found that the entire crew of "My Grand Greek Wedding" regarded Donne Walker as the most respected, which surprised and admired her.

Sofia's job is to be an assistant to the director team. To put it bluntly, she is to obey the director, assistant director, and others to run errands for them.

But she is so famous that except for Tang En and Nicole, the entire crew is the biggest, and no one dares to instruct her.

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

Andy Thompson is an uncle who is almost fifty years old. He is so kind that he is surprising. Sophia couldn't help but question: "Andy, they are just a few extras. You should be serious, otherwise you won't be able to shake them!"

Sofia has been with her father since she was a child and is not ignorant of the director's career.

Andy Thompson smiled and shook his head, "Sophia, extras have a hard life. They have dreams but cannot see hope. If we use shock to control them, we can certainly complete the shooting, but stiff emotions can easily be brought into the play. Inspire and guide them in a gentle way, we can often produce unexpected results."

Sofia Coppola was very surprised. This was a message she hadn't received from her father. "Andy, the way you work is amazing!"

Andy Thompson waved his hand and smiled, "Nothing to be amazed. Two months ago, I was an extra!"

“What…what?”

Sophia thought she had heard it wrong, so she blinked a few times, "Andy, you are really good at joking."

Andy Thompson frowned and said seriously: "Sophia, I'm not kidding. In fact, two months ago, we were all at the bottom of Hollywood, and it was the boss who recruited us into the company."

Sophia's face was stiff and she was stunned for a long time. She didn't believe what Andy Thompson said at all!

Even if Donn Walker is a genius, he would not be so bold that he would make a fuss about films investing tens of millions of dollars.

She found cameraman Alice Moore again.

Sofia Coppola's major is camera, so she can better see Alice Moore's professional skills and skillful skills. There have been several times when Alice proposed the scene suggestions, even Donn Walker appreciated them very much.

This can't be from the bottom, right?

Female cameramen are rare, and it is absolutely impossible to bury a cameraman of Alice Moore.

"Alice, your job is awesome! Can you ask easily, what is your profession before this?" Sophia tried her best to speak, and she respected such an excellent female photographer.

Alice Moore was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with her former profession, cameraman?"

"Have you ever made a movie?"

"I've taken it."

“How many films have you filmed?”

"Does of movies are always there?"

"Brave!" Sophia rolled her eyes secretly, but she didn't believe it. But she smiled happily, and I said, such an excellent cameraman must be professional, how could he come from the bottom?

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

"Oh, that's the matter!" Alice Moore waved his hand with a self-deprecating look, "Andy is right, I do come from the grassroots."

Sophia was confused, frowned with delicate brows and said unhappily: "Alice, I really have a question, not a joke!"

Alice said in surprise: "I'm not kidding either, I do come from grassroots."

"Didn't you say you've made several... dozens of movies?" Sophia was very angry. She didn't understand why there were all such liars in Donn Walker's crew.

"I did make dozens of movies!"

Alice Moore saw Sophia's angry look, and she looked a little funny, "Okay, Sophia, you misunderstood. The movie I mentioned is different from the movie you mentioned."

"Um?"

Sophia's brows frowned even tighter.

"I'm from San Fernando Valley." Alice paused for a moment, afraid that the daughter of the daughter wouldn't understand, so she added, "It's a place that specializes in adult movies for men and women."

Sofia Coppola felt a rumbling in her mind, and her whole world view, outlook on life, and values ​​were all broken!

The little stars in my eyes made Sophia's open mouth stuff an apple.

After a long time, Sophia came back to her senses and murmured: "But...how could he know you? He even called you to shoot a Hollywood movie?"

"Are you talking about the boss?" Alice shrugged, "Then I don't know. Maybe I've seen the movie I made, after all... my work is still very sales."

Sophia's face was almost distorted, and her fair face was in a wonderful color.

...

"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, incident, post!"

Seeing such an outstanding performance by this little character who was caught from somewhere, Sofia Coppola no longer knows what to say.

The three deputy directors of Don Eun, the one with the best background, is David Knight, who had been at the University of Southern California for two years. However, the ability to direct the actor is really better than her father's assistant.

Nicole Kidman's performance also became at ease from the beginning when he was at a loss.

Looking at her completely ugly face, it is hard to imagine that this is the superb Mrs. Cruise. Under Tang En's continuous criticism and correction, Nicole Kidman is quietly changing.

Sophia stared at Donne Walker, who was focused on the directing, with a complicated expression.

"CUT!" Tang En shouted, "Very good, Nicole, I appreciate your professional attitude. This one has passed, and we will take a twenty-minute break. Next, we will shoot a family meeting."

Nicole Kidman breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was praised by Tang En just now, she was full of anger. She had been tortured and lost her energy. She relied on her professional spirit and perseverance.

"Sophia, I have never seen such a stubborn director! Your father... Mr. Coppola, is that the same?" Nicole Kidman didn't want to pay attention to Donn and directly found Sophia to complain.

Sophia stared at Nicole's angry face, feeling a little disappointed, "Nicole, you misunderstood Don."

"Misunderstanding?" Nicole smiled coldly, "Do you think I don't know what that guy is thinking? He goes to my room every night. Do you know what he means? He is torture me and let me give in!"

Sophia was stunned and immediately looked stern, "Nicole, you are wrong! In fact, Tang En goes to my room every night and makes some requests to me, but so what? He is only nineteen years old. Isn't this what a young man of his age should have?"

"you……"

Nicole Kidman was a little out of control, and he really didn't expect Sophia to say this.

Sophia said seriously: "Nicole, you are a very professional and good actor. I see all this, but please believe in Don Eun's professional attitude, okay? He will make some... requests, but this is limited to the relationship between men and women, and it will never be related to the shooting of the movie. Do you understand?"

"But he has been torturing me! He has been torturing me! He has tortured me crazy!"

Nicole Kidman grabbed his hair, looking crazy.

Sophia's face was very serious. She was a bystander. Naturally, she could see Tang En's intention. "Nicole, I hope you don't look at Tang En with malice. He... He has bad intentions, but he is not a bad person. Do you understand? If you say he tortures you, then I can tell you very responsibly, Nicole, your performance during this period is the best you have ever seen since I met you!"

"Ah? Yes... is it?"

Nicole Kidman was shocked. She was only angry with Don Eun, just like those big guys in the circle who kept tangling around her and constantly threatening her.

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

If you want to say that there is one, it is just a "taking advantage of the situation" rather than a "threat".

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

Nicole Kidman murmured to himself, a little dazed.
