It is not only the amazing box office of the movie that is amazed, but also the fact that Coppola will be there to congratulate the premiere of the movie.

It may be difficult for outsiders to know who Coppola is, but there are very few reporters in the circle who don't know this great director, and even most reporters understand one thing, Ye Ming invited Coppola over, which is also for another purpose, because Coppola is no one else, but Nicolas Cage's uncle.

Wu Yusen's movie is starring Nicolas Cage, which is not wrong, but in order to increase the influence of [big names], Ye Ming actually invited Coppola, which is still unexpected.

Even Wu Yusen didn't expect Ye Ming to play such a hand.

At this moment, in the hotel, Wu Yusen is trying to persuade Nicolas Cage.

Wu Yusen said helplessly: "Cage, at this time, if you go to a crew as an opponent, how much will it have a certain impact on our movie, as a professional actor, you should know what you do." ”

Nicolas Cage said with a smile: "Director Wu, I don't need to say anything about this matter, I know it very well in my own heart, but it's no one else, it's my uncle, my own uncle, since he is here, can I not go to see it?

This is my private act, and it has nothing to do with my films. Is the contract I signed with the crew a working relationship, didn't I say that I didn't have the right to see my own uncle in the contract, right?"

At this time, Wu Yusen's obstruction obviously made Nicolas Cage feel a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Wu Yusen shook his head and said, "Of course, you know that I didn't mean that, you see your uncle." It doesn't matter, but not today, after tomorrow, you will have no problem seeing your uncle as much as you like. ”

Nicolas Cage snorted and said, "You still don't know what kind of person my uncle is, he's a very personal old man, huh." For the sake of his own personality, he fell out with the producers in Hollywood and went back to Italy to grow wine, you don't know about it.

Therefore, if I say that I will not see him today, then according to his character, he will definitely not let me go, are you willing to bear the wrath of my uncle?"

Although director Coppola doesn't appear in Hollywood very often now. However, his influence has not diminished at all, and he is still one of Hollywood's top directors. His anger, Wu Yusen naturally didn't have the courage to bear it.

In the end, he is a Hollywood superstar, and Nicolas Cage is also a superstar with a very personality, which is very similar to Coppola, therefore. Wu Yusen did not stop him.

Coppola was arranged at the Capital Hotel, and at this moment. He was patiently looking at his nephew and said, "Cage, you kid, how long has it been since you came to Lan Lao Coppola, I thought you forgot about my uncle, I originally wanted you to taste the wine I brewed, now it seems." Are you dreaming?"

Coppola didn't save face for Cage at all, but directly told such a thing.

Nicolas Cage was very embarrassed, and few people dared to speak to him in such a tone, but he understood. At this time, his uncle was quite polite, because at least he could see his uncle's face, which was already room for relaxation.

If it is said that Coppola is angry with a person, it simply means that he will not even be given the opportunity to meet.

At this time, Nicolas Cage said helplessly: "Uncle, you should know my work, these years, I even said that I don't even have much time to return to Italy, I always run between various crews, run around the world, I don't have any free time at all, if it wasn't for this time in the capital, I heard that you were coming, and I may not have the opportunity to meet you." Didn't you say that, as a filmmaker, you have to give up a qiē for the sake of film?"

This is indeed a sentence that Coppola once said when he taught Nicolas Cage, and now he was blocked back with his own words on the spot, which made Coppola a little unhappy, he snorted twice and said: "Your idea is right, but, look at these things you do, what are they called, I'm talking about filmmakers, you want to give up a qiē for movies, do you believe this?" Fool, after so many years of hard work, if you don't even see through this in the entertainment industry, just go back to Italy and plant grapes with me, dear nephew, this childbearing age is really not suitable for you?"

Nicolas Cage was about to say something just now, and then, Coppola immediately said: "I know you say God, don't talk so much nonsense with me, well, what if, you shoot a good movie, I don't have anything to say, general, this is okay in the past, but you see, what kind of bad movie are you shooting this time, do you know how much box office this movie has in the United States?"

Seeing that his uncle was still very concerned about his movie, Nicolas Cage smiled and said: "Uncle, you actually came here after watching my movie, which made me feel very surprised, this is a miracle, I thought that you would never watch my movie?"

Coppola is one

A very character person, this is very clear to those who are familiar with him, and even those who are not familiar with him. He really hasn't seen his nephew's movie again, even the Oscar-winning "Back to Las Vegas" film by Nicolas Cage, he hasn't seen it. Of course, Nicolas Cage's "Betta" is an exception, as this is a film directed by Coppola. The rest, Nicolas Cage thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case. But this movie, my uncle watched it. At the moment, Nicolas Cage was a little excited and said, "Uncle, I didn't expect that you would actually watch the movie starring me, this is too surprising to me?" Coppola glanced at Nicolas Cage with disdain and said, "You guy, I sue you, in fact, it's not that I want to watch it, it's MGM's boss, who took the film to ask me." Because he is a little worried about the director Wu Yusen, he wants me to see how this movie is, you think, I am willing to watch your movie. In fact, I still regret it, this is also called a movie, it's just disappointing, full of loopholes, logical errors, many things are a little inexplicable, I have seen some inexplicable, you can think about it, after the audience sees this movie, what kind of reflection will there be. ”

Nicolas Cage said with some skepticism: "Uncle, I admit that this movie may not be considered a great movie, but it is not like what you said, it is directly classified as a garbage movie."

I read the script carefully after receiving it, although it is said that there are not many new things, but there are some Hollywood elements such as blood, war, brotherhood, etc.

Therefore, even if this movie is not a classic in my opinion, at least on the Hollywood assembly line, it is a good movie. 120 million dollars, your [Apocalypse Now] didn't use that much money, did you?"

The movie Modern Apocalypse, how to say it, is a masterpiece of Coppola, but it is not very good at the box office, but the movie has a considerable value in art and reflection on human nature.

Therefore, this movie is not a failure for Coppola, at most a box office failure. In fact, in Hollywood, there are two measurement elements for a movie shot by a director, one is artistic, and the other is the box office. If you say that you succeed artistically and fail at the box office, it doesn't matter, there will be investors looking for you to continue making movies in the future.

After all, there are many wealthy people who are willing to invest in art. If it's a box office success or an artistic failure, this is no problem, and many people who want to invest in movies to make money are also looking for you to make movies.

But if it is said that it failed at the box office and artistically, then such a thing is not very good.

This director, basically, is a failed director.

At this moment, Nicolas Cage brought up [Apocalypse Now], and Coppola said with a smile: "At least my film is artistically successful, child, but I have watched this movie starring you, according to my estimate, whether it is from an artistic point of view or from the box office, your movie is not a success."

A double failure, which is somewhat unforgivable. I heard that director Wu Yusen made this movie into a movie of more than three hours, God, don't you know that the time of an ordinary movie is 120 minutes, as a director, you have to control your film within this range. ”

Of course, what Coppola said about control is within this range, which means that the central idea of the film is fully expressed after editing, and this time is generally 120 minutes.

It doesn't matter how many minutes the director shoots, it must be edited out, and within 120 minutes, the meaning of the director must be expressed, which can be regarded as a successful movie.

If this is not possible, then there is something wrong with the director's control of the film, or director B is more willful. (To be continued......)
