Chapter 595: Coppola, the director of [The Godfather].
Ye Ming was silent for a moment, and then glanced meaningfully at Mo Wenwei, who was like a bullfight, and Zhou Xingxing, who was calm to the extreme, but was also struggling in his heart.
Everyone's eyes converged on Ye Ming, waiting for the answer to this question, because this answer would affect the subsequent development of the [Infernal Affairs] crew.
At this time, Ye Ming suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Mok, for this question of yours, I think it is better to ask the art director of our film to sue you, and please invite our art director." Mr. Coppola. ”
As Ye Ming finished speaking, a bearded old man walked in in spirit, and at this time, the old man just walked in, which was able to bring people that kind of pressure like mountains and seas.
It seems that this old man is the center of the press conference, and all the people have to revolve around him, that kind of maverick and unruly eyes, Zhou Xingxing is a little dwarfed when he sees it.
Mo Wenwei snorted twice and said, "Coppola, what can he sue me, what is it like to sue me for this role, what is he doing?"
At this time, Mo Wenwei's words finally made Zhou Xingxing angry: "Shut up, there is no place for you to speak here." ”
Mo Wenwei couldn't believe it, her eyes widened, her mouth widened, and she looked at Zhou Xingxing blankly, she never thought that Zhou Xingxing would dare to reprimand herself openly in front of so many people.
The relationship between the two people is indeed very bad, but it has not reached the point of breaking up, and the two of them are finally making the final save. Mo Wenwei said hatefully: "Zhou Xingxing, you dare to scold me, in front of so many people, you dare to scold me?"
Zhou Xingxing was very unhappy and said: "Scold you, do you know who he is? Do you know this influence in the world film industry? I don't know anything, I dare to talk nonsense." It's light to scold you, if you weren't my girlfriend, I would have driven you away a long time ago. ”
This is Ye Ming's home field, but the maverick Zhou Xingxing still has the momentum to cover the whole audience, but at this moment. In front of Coppola, he completely restrained his arrogance.
stepped forward and said respectfully, "Mr. Coppola, I really didn't expect that you would become the producer of Infernal Affairs." It's an honor for me to be able to act in a movie under you. Coppola waved his hand and said, "Old, old, many people don't know me anymore." ”
He couldn't understand Mo Wenwei's words, but there was an interpreter behind him. The translator will translate what someone said to Coppola without reservation.
At this time, the whole scene suddenly boiled, and the huge impact made almost all the reporters and actors a little dumbfounded, being able to be so respectful by Zhou Xingxing, called Coppola, who would be such a person.
Now only a few people who can't settle the situation will be a little puzzled, what kind of person will this bearded old man be, worthy of Zhou Xingxing's respect. Fat Guo happens to be one of those people who doesn't know much about the situation. At this time, he was a little puzzled and said, "Yan Meng, what kind of person is this old man." Look at that momentum, quite a cow. ”
Yan Meng glanced at Fat Guo with disdain and said: "Fat man, I see that your brain is full of fat, you don't know this, just don't mix in the entertainment industry, go to the food section." ”
Fat Guo didn't know any shame and said: "Hehe, in fact, I was in the entertainment industry before." It is indeed a journalist in the food sector. ”
Yan Meng was depressed for a while, but he didn't hold back his breath, and he was angry and didn't pay attention to this stupid guy anymore.
King Charles turned around and spread knowledge and said, "Fat fruit, you don't know this old man, but. You always know the godfather, you always know the modern apocalypse, this is the godfather and the director of the modern apocalypse, Francis, Ford, Coppola, in the eighties, is one of the four major Hollywood directors on the same level as Lucas, Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, think about it, what kind of person will this one be, super bull, even in Hollywood, it is also the top director. ”
The Godfather, known as the classic of the classics, a hundred movies that have influenced the world, no matter what the choice is, the Godfather will not be missed, and of course, there is also the modern apocalypse, which is also a very profitable movie.
I think that when he was Chinese New Year's Eve or sixteen, Coppola had five Academy Awards, and now it looks like a miracle. Of course, Coppola's ability to shoot classics is just as strong as his ability to shoot losers.
The stubbornness and whimsy of this talented director are just as famous even in Hollywood.
When filming "Sweetheart" in 81, because Coppola was unwilling to go to Las Vegas for filming, it cost 6 million to build the exterior alone, and in the end, the movie that cost 30 million US dollars only recovered one million US dollars, and the word-of-mouth box office failed miserably.
But no matter what one puts it, no one can deny Coppola's place in Hollywood's history, and as his friend and business partner Lucas said, this guy is a messy symphony that you don't have to try to figure out what he's thinking.
Coppola walked up to Mo Wenwei with a smile and said: "This young lady, I come to tell you, as an actor, the only job you have to do is to understand the script, and then obey the director, this is enough, great actors do this." ”
Coppola's tone was condescending, and there was a condescending attitude towards Mo Wenwei, but at this moment, no one would doubt that Coppola had the qualifications to say this. When he taught Mo Wenwei, it was simply straightforward.
As the master, Ye Ming naturally couldn't watch the situation deteriorate so much, and he didn't want to see Zhou Xingxing unable to get off the stage, although Mo Wenwei was a little crazy about love, but Zhou Xingxing's face still had to be taken care of.
Therefore, in such a situation, Ye Ming said with a smile: "Mr. Coppola, I am very happy that you can come, and it is great to have you as the art director." ”
At this time, Ye Ming also spoke English, so there was no problem with zài translation at all, Coppola smiled and said: "Young man, you're welcome, it was your book that moved me, Infernal Affairs, it's a very good book, without this book, even if you have how much money I won't come."
Whatever it may be, this is a movie that can make people feel emotional. Sometimes I think if this movie was in Hollywood, then I would be the director of this movie. ”
[Infernal Affairs], when Ye Ming was watching this movie, he always felt that this movie was missing something, and later, Ye Ming asked the system directly, and the system gave a very surprising answer [Infernal Affairs has to be said to be a classic, but it is a soulless movie, the whole movie is in a gray tone, but there is no trace of soul, this is the most deadly, you need someone to give it a soul. 】
Ye Ming was very curious and asked [Soul, how can I make this movie have a soul?]
The system gave the answer [Find Coppola to be the art director of Infernal Affairs, at this time Coppola will bring soul to this movie. 】
Ye Ming objected unceremoniously and said, "Isn't this a bit nonsense, Coppola is a foreigner, can he understand what Infernal Affairs is? It is estimated that he is a Christian, and he will be very vague about a concept like Infernal Affairs. 】
The system's answer is also quite simple [Yes, Coppola doesn't understand what Infernal Affairs is, but he can understand the relationship between gangsters and police, and there is no gangster movie in the world that can be as perfect as the godfather, which is all thanks to Coppola's whimsical ideas. Therefore, Coppola has a very big say in Jianghu films, and if he is the art director, then what he can bring to you at this time is the soul of the whole movie. As for whether Coppola understands what the ultimate infernality is, it doesn't matter at all. 】
Coppola is a bit of perfectionist, a little paranoid, and self-righteous, so he also suffered a big failure in Hollywood, but this Coppola is still a director that Ye Ming is not so easy to invite.
Even if you ask Coppola to be the art director, it won't be easy.
In the end, the system gave a note.,Show the script of [Infernal Affairs] to Coppola.,If it's to say that Coppola can take a fancy to this book.,There's nothing wrong with that qiē.,If it's otherwise.,Then in such a situation.,If you want to invite Coppola over.,It's wishful thinking.。
Ye Ming urgently contacted Ai Qiuhua's relationship, found Coppola, and sent him the book of Infernal Affairs.
Although Ai Qiuhua is from Warner Bros. and Coppola is from Paramount, the relationship in Hollywood is very complicated, so it is not strange that Ai Qiuhua has a channel to find Coppola and give him the script.
At this time, Ai Qiuhua thought that Ye Ming was delusional, and Coppola was not such a light person who could impress at all.
But what made Ai Qiuhua unkind was that after the script was sent, Coppola actually agreed to it in a very short event. Even Ai Qiuhua is very puzzled, this genius, who is known as the four major Hollywood directors in the 80s, can actually agree to be the art director of a Chinese film, which is simply an unbelievable thing.
But this kind of thing did happen, and it was precisely because of this incident that [Infernal Affairs] really entered the eyes of Warner Bros. executives.
Not all scripts can impress Coppola. (To be continued......)
