Chapter 108 Katharine Hepburn
After stepping off the Cadillac, John took Sophia directly to the gate. Looking at Sophia, who looked nervous, John smiled. "Sophia, you're a little nervous! Don't worry, I'm not going to tell Ms. Katharine Hepburn what you just said. ”
Sophia pouted. "I'm afraid that I'll be kicked out and make the front page of tomorrow's paper. ”
"Don't worry! no one will drive you away. John leaned into Sophia's ear and lowered his voice, "I forgot to tell you that I have a very close relationship with Lady Katharine Hepburn. ”
"What?" Sophia looked at John in surprise. "You know Lady Katharine Hepburn, what is your relationship, relatives?"
"Lady Katharine Hepburn is a friend of my grandmother, so you should rest assured!"
John's grandmother was very fond of watching movies when she was young, and it was said that in that era, everyone was beautiful, and they didn't go out of the door for a day, and they didn't watch movies or read books at home, how to pass the time.
And as a movie fan with a background, John's grandmother naturally had the opportunity to make friends with superstars of that era, and became friends with some of them as soon as they came and went, Katharine Hepburn was one of them, so it is no exaggeration to say that John grew up watching superstars.
And Sophia was relieved when she heard John's words, she didn't have to worry about being kicked out of the house by Katharine Hepburn.
Just as Sophia was relieved, John had already arrived at the guard room with her.
"Hey, Robert, long time no see. John looked at the tall guards in the guard room.
"Hello, Mr. JK!" Robert stood up from his chair. He looked at John with a look of surprise.
"Is my Grandma Catherine at home, Robert?" asked John.
"In...... ......!" Robert hurriedly opened the gate and let John into the manor.
"Okay then, I'll go in and talk again when I have time. John said as he walked with Sophia towards the villa.
Arriving at the door of the villa, John reached out and rang the doorbell. The door was opened by a fat white maid, whom John beckoned with all too familiarity. "Hi, Mrs. Aubrey, hello, long time no see. ”
"Oh my God! Mr. JK. The fat maid dropped a word, and immediately ran into the house, and ran towards Katharine Hepburn.
Outside the door, John looked at the fat maid, the fat that trembled all over her body when she ran, and her 160-pound body ran as fast as the wind, which was as fast as the fat man on Hong Kong Island, who was called "the most flexible fat man in the world!"
Just as John was secretly speechless, a very familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears. "Oh, dear John, it's a pleasure to see you. As soon as the words fell, it was a big bear hug in an instant, which hugged John breathlessly.
John tried to struggle a little. "Grandma Catherine, you still have so much strength!" Katharine Hepburn and John's grandmother are very good friends, and Katharine Hepburn is fifteen years older than John's grandmother, so John is naturally called Grandma Katharine Hepburn.
"Oh! I keep exercising every day, so my body is naturally very good!" Katharine Hepburn took John's hand affectionately. "John, let's go inside!"
Just as she was about to enter the house, Katharine Hepburn found Sophia standing next to her with a dull face. "John, who is this young girl with you? Is it your girlfriend?"
John quickly shook his head. "No, no, no, she's not my girlfriend, she's my assistant Sofia Coppola. Daughter of Francis Ford Coppola. ”
"Oh!" Katharine Hepburn nodded. "It turned out to be Francis's daughter. ”
John quickly patted Sophia. "Sophia!
After Sophia was woken up by John, she bowed to Katharine Hepburn with a panicked expression. "Hello, Ms. Hepburn, I'm Sophia Coppola. ”
"Hello, Sophia, is your father okay?" asked Katharine Hepburn in passing.
"Thank you for your concern, my father is very good!" Although Sophia has been in Hollywood with her father since she was a child and has seen many big-name stars, this is the first time she has been close to Katharine Hepburn, the majesty of the actor industry, so it is inevitable that she will be a little panicked.
After a brief greeting, Katharine Hepburn led John and Sophia into the house and sat on the sofa in the living room. "John, I was thinking about you the other day, but I didn't expect you to come over today. ”
"I'm sorry Grandma Catherine! I've been too busy to visit you. John apologized.
Katharine Hepburn waved her hand. "It's okay! I know you're busy making a movie. That's right, your "Stealing Love" is very good, and if your grandmother is still around, she will definitely be proud of you. ”
If Grandmother was still there, she would definitely watch "Stealing Love" every day. John couldn't help but think of his grandmother, who loved him. It was because of his grandmother that he was able to be so unscrupulous at home when he was a child.
"Hey, don't talk about that!" Katharine Hepburn felt a little sad about the topic. "By the way, John, you're not just here to see me, I'm sure there's something else to look for. Every time John came to see her, he was alone, but this time he had an extra assistant, which made her ask.
"Yes, Grandma Catherine!" John nodded. "I'm here to ask you to play a role in my new movie. ”
"Oh, you're ready to make a new film, what movie? Katharine Hepburn was a little surprised. In Hollywood, many directors only release a movie in three or four years, and one movie a year like John can be regarded as prolific.
"It is based on the novel Forrest Gump by author Winston Glum. John motioned to Sophia to give the script to Katharine Hepburn.
"Michael Ovitz seems to have suppressed you because of this novel!" Katharine Hepburn said, taking the script. Michael Ovitz's suppression of John is not a secret in the upper echelons of Hollywood, so she naturally knows about it.
"Yes, because of this novel. John replied.
"John! It's a good thing, but you must be careful, don't let your prey hurt you, and don't hesitate to kill when it's time to kill. For a person who has been through more than 80 years of ups and downs, Katharine Hepburn naturally knows John's purpose for keeping Michael Ovitz. Otherwise, with the strength of the Morgan family, Michael Ovitz would have been played crazy or played to death, how could he still jump up and down until now.
"I'll keep an eye on Grandma Catherine!" John nodded.
Katharine Hepburn saw that John nodded, but stopped talking, and then opened the script and read it.
On the other hand, Sophia is secretly frightened, the founder of CAA, the super promoter of Hollywood, for John, is actually just a prey to practice.
This can't help but make her guess John's identity, whether he was born into a political family or the heir to a wealthy business family? Sophia is not sure, but either way, John's background must be very large, otherwise he would not play with a big man like Michael Ovitz as a prey.
