MTL - Heads Up Hollywood-Chapter 37 crazy coppola

Tang En recruited 42 people from the grass-roots class to serve as his royal team, but two of them were really too lazy to support the wall, so they were fired.

These people are not enough to shoot a high-quality Hollywood movie, so Dunn enjoys CAA's "semi-package" service.

The extras and crew members that the crew lacked were supplemented by CAA operations. For this, the crew has to pay an additional $2 million in remuneration.

Sofia Coppola, relying on her relationship, went through the channel of CAA and joined the crew of "My Great Greek Wedding".

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

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

Sofia Coppola, 26 years old this year, is determined to transform, taking over the baton from her father and becoming a director!

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

It was not until the release of "Titanic" filmed by an 18-year-old child this year that it caused a worldwide sensation and changed the views of everyone in the Coppola family.

Times have changed.

Young people should be given a chance!

Sofia Coppola had the opportunity to direct the film, but she was very cautious and modest. Knowing that she lacked experience and lack of control, she joined Dunn's crew through her father's relationship, and wanted to see it with her own eyes. The way a young director takes control of the crew and put it to use.

After coming to the crew, Sophia found out that the entire crew of "My Great Greek Wedding" respected Dunn Walker, which surprised and admired her.

Sophia's job is to be an assistant to the director's team. To put it bluntly, she takes orders from the director, assistant director, assistant director and other people, and runs errands for them.

However, her reputation is too great. Except for Dunn and Nicole, she has the biggest wrist in the entire crew, and no one dares to instruct her.

At this moment, Sofia Coppola is following the assistant director Andy Thompson, silently learning his way of coordinating actors and directing lines.

Andy Thompson is an uncle who is almost fifty years old, and his kindness 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 shock them! "

Sophia has been by her father's side since she was a child, and she 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 don't see hope. If we use shock to control them, the filming can be completed, but rigid emotions can easily be brought into the play. . In a gentle way, to inspire them and guide them, often can produce unexpected results."

Sofia Coppola was very surprised, this was the information she had never received from her father, "Andy, the way you work is amazing!"

Andy Thompson waved his hand and said with a smile, "Nothing to be surprised about. Two months ago, I was an extra!"

"What... what?"

Thinking she heard it wrong, Sophia blinked a few times, "Andy, you're really joking."

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

Sophia's face was stiff and she was stunned for a long time. Andy Thompson's statement, she doesn't believe it at all!

Even if Dunn Walker is a genius, he can't be so daring as to make a fool of a movie with tens of millions of dollars in investment.

She found cameraman Alice Moore again.

Sofia Coppola's major is photography, so she can better see Alice Moore's professionalism and proficiency in skills. Even Dunn Walker has appreciated the framing suggestions made by Alice several times.

This can't be from the bottom, right?

Female videographers are rare. A videographer of the level of Alice Moore is absolutely impossible to bury.

"Alice, your work is awesome! Can I ask you, what was your occupation before this?" Sophia tried her best to say, she respected such an excellent female cameraman.

Alice Moore was perplexed and she asked, "What's wrong with your former profession, cameraman?"

"Have you ever made a movie?"

"I did."

"How many have you filmed?"

"There are always dozens, right?"

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

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

"Oh, that's it!" Alice Moore waved her hand mockingly, "Andy is right, I do come from the grass roots."

Sophia was confused, frowned her delicate brows, and said displeasedly, "Alice, I really have doubts, I'm not joking!"

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

"Didn't you say you've made several ... dozens of movies?" Sophia was very angry, she didn't understand why Dunn Walker's crew was full of such liars.

"I did make dozens of movies!"

Alice Moore was amused when she saw Sophia's angry and puffed face, "Okay, Sophia, you misunderstood. The movie I'm talking about is different from the movie you're talking about."

"Um?"

Sophia's brows furrowed even tighter.

"I'm from the San Fernando Valley." Alice paused, fearing that the eldest daughter would not understand, and added, "It's a place that specializes in making adult movies for men and women."

Sofia Coppola felt a rumbling in her head, her worldview, outlook on life, and values ​​all collapsed!

The eyes are full of little stars, so that Sophia's open mouth can fit an apple.

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

"You mean the boss?" Alice shrugged, "Then I don't know, maybe I've seen the films I made. After all... my works are still selling pretty well."

Sophia's face was almost contorted, her fair face was full of wonderful colors.

…

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

Sofia Coppola doesn't know what to say after seeing such an excellent performance by this little character who was caught from nowhere.

Of Dunn's three assistant directors, the best one was only David Knight, who had been an audition at USC for two years. However, his ability to direct actors is really stronger than her father's assistant.

And Nicole Kidman's performance, from the beginning at a loss, became more comfortable.

Looking at her completely ugly face, you can hardly imagine that this is the peerless Mrs. Cruise. Under Dunn's continuous criticism and correction, Nicole Kidman is quietly changing.

Sophia stared at Dunn Walker, who was engrossed in directing, with a complicated expression.

"CUT!" Dunn shouted, "Very good, Nicole, I appreciate your professional attitude. This one is over, take a 20-minute break, and the next one is to shoot a family meeting."

Nicole Kidman breathed a sigh of relief, even though she had just been praised by Dunn, she was so angry. She had been tossed and lost her energy long ago, and she persevered with professionalism and perseverance.

"Sophia, I've never seen such a stubborn director! Your father... Mr. Coppola, is that the case?" Nicole Kidman didn't want to pay attention to Dunn, and went directly to Sofia to complain.

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

"Misunderstanding?" Nicole sneered, "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 torturing me, UU reading www. uukanshu.com makes me soft!"

Sophia was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised her face, "Nicole, you are wrong! In fact, Dunn also goes to my room every night and makes some requests to me, but so what? Nineteen years old, isn't that what a boy of his age should behave?"

"you…"

Nicole Kidman was a little rude, she really didn't expect Sophia to say this.

Sophia said sternly: "Nicole, you are a very professional and good actor, I see it all, but please believe in Dunn's professional attitude, okay? He will make some... requirements, but this is only limited to men and women. The relationship will never be related to the filming of the film, do you understand?"

"But he keeps torturing me! He keeps torturing me! He tortures me madly!"

Nicole Kidman grabbed her hair like crazy.

Sophia's face is very solemn. She is a bystander, so she can naturally see Dunn's intentions, "Nicole, I hope you don't look at Dunn with malice, he... He has bad intentions, but he is not a bad person, do you understand? You said that he tortured you, then I can tell you responsibly, Nicole, your performance during this period of time is the best you have ever seen since I met you!"

"Ah? Yes... is it?"

Nicole Kidman was stunned, she was only angry with Dunn, just like those big circles who had been around her and kept threatening.

After listening to Sophia's words, she suddenly realized that Dunn... seems to be really different. In private, he never mentioned movies, and in the crew, he never mentioned personal affairs.

If you want to say yes, it's just "taking advantage", not "threatening".

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

Nicole Kidman muttered to herself, in a daze.
