Walking into a film studio in the Santa Monica Valley area, Ronan meets Sofia Coppola, the director of "Lost in Translation", the famous second-generation director who looks humble and slightly shy.

"Sit down, Ronan. Sofia Coppola greets, "Need something to drink?"

Ronan sat down on the single sofa and said, "Water will do." ”

Sofia Coppola poured Ronan a glass of water and asked, "Have you read the project email I sent you?"

Ronan thanked her first, and then answered her question: "I've seen it, it's very detailed." He then asked, "Is one month enough time to shoot?"

Sofia Coppola said directly: "Actually, it won't take a month, I can finish shooting in about three weeks." ”

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "I have cooperated with the long-term credit bank of the island country, and I have already contacted them. ”

He handed a business card to Sofia Coppola, who took it and put it away carefully, saying, "With the help of a big local company, the shooting will go more smoothly." ”

Going to a strange country to film, the crew will encounter all kinds of problems that cannot be imagined in advance, but with the help of local forces, they can undoubtedly avoid many troubles.

Sofia Coppola asked again: "Did I send you the list of starring actors?

Ronan smiled and said, "Sophia, I, the first producer, am only in name and will not interfere in the specific affairs of the crew. It's your project, from the script to the actors to the production, just follow your ideas. ”

Sofia Coppola couldn't help but laugh: "No wonder many directors like to work with you, and I like to work with producers like you." ”

"Hopefully we'll have a chance to work together in the future," Ronan said. ”

In fact, Sofia Coppola is very good at shooting women's themes, especially women's films with a little literary flavor and reflecting a certain social reality.

Lindsay Beale has already got in touch with the female classmate who works in New York, just rushed to New York a few days ago, and the research and consulting company has collected a lot of relevant information, and when the preparation is more complete, the subject of female college students and sugar girls and sugar dads will be put on the agenda.

Ronan needs a director who can handle this kind of subject matter, and Sofia Coppola is one of the most suitable directors for the current situation.

For wanting to make a successful film, the importance of the director is often above the script.

The two discussed the release of Lost in Translation.

"I've asked Embassy Pictures to apply for next year's Cannes Film Festival for 'Lost in Translation,' and we're using Cannes as a starting point for the promotion of the film, and finally the awards season will be released in North America," Ronan said. ”

Sofia Coppola smiled and said, "You have so much confidence in me?"

Ronan shrugged slightly: "'Death of a Virgin' is a masterpiece, and I'm sure this one is the same. ”

From the very beginning, Sofia Coppola had a very good impression of Ronan, saying: "It seems that I am going to be in good spirits, and I can't live up to your trust in me. ”

Ronan remembers very well that this "Lost in Translation" was Sofia Coppola's best work in the previous life, and the films she directed later, even "Somewhere", which won the Venice Golden Lion, are actually not as good as "Lost in Translation".

Many people believe that Quentin Tarantino, the president of the jury of that Venice Film Festival, had a problematic stance when he judged the award, after all, Sofia Coppola was Quentin Tarantino's old lover.

And it's not the first time Quentin Tarantino has done something similar, when he was the president of the jury of a certain Cannes Film Festival, he suppressed all opposition and let "Fahrenheit 911" win the Palme d'Or.

Quentin Tarantino is a film director who is very willful in filmmaking, and is also wayward when he is a judge.

There was a knock on the door, and after Sofia Coppola said please come in, her assistant pushed the door in and said, "Miss Johnson is here." ”

Sofia Coppola nodded and said, "Let her come over." When the assistant left, she said to Ronan, "I'll introduce you to the heroine of the film." ”

Ronan had already seen the cast list before, and of course knew that Sofia Coppola still chose Scarlett Johansson to play the lead actress Charlotte.

It didn't take long for a blonde girl to enter the office.

"Scarlett, this is Ronan Anderson, president of Relativity Entertainment, producer and investor in Lost in Translation. Sofia Coppola introduced both sides: "Ronan, this time Scarlett Johansson, the heroine of the film. ”

Ronan took the initiative to extend his right hand: "Hello, Miss Johnson." ”

Scarlett Johansson was born as a child star, and she is also well-informed, without the slightest sign in front of her agent, and said with a subtle smile: "It's a great honor to meet you, Mr. Anderson." ”

Ronan looked at Scarlett Johansson quietly, and Scarlett Johansson, who was not yet twenty years old, had little to find fault with except for being a little shorter.

Now it can be said that Scarlett Johansson is at her best in terms of appearance and figure.

But Caucasian women like Scarlett Johansson, who tend to be plump, may have an early development relationship, as long as they are slightly older, they tend to age very quickly, and after the age of thirty, they begin to move infinitely closer to their aunts.

Fighting obesity and rapid aging is bound to be an infinite war for women like Scarlett Johansson.

Scarlett Johansson also looked at Ronan quietly, and told her agent before that she had the opportunity to star in Ronan's project, but she didn't expect that she didn't even use pajamas, and there was a cooperation so soon.

As a girl with a lot of experience, Scarlett Johansson gave Ronan an an evaluation for the first time in her heart, tall, handsome and handsome, and the identity of a promising producer, these are all pluses.

But there are also regrets, the appearance is not wild enough, the face is too tender, and it always makes people feel too young.

In terms of age, he can be regarded as an uncle type, but there is still a gap in appearance.

Sofia Coppola asked curiously, "Scarlett, why did you come here suddenly?"

Scarlett Johansson said, "You informed me two days ago, and you have time to come over and get the latest character script these days, and you forgot?"

Sofia Coppola patted her head and said, "I've been preparing for going to the island country for the past two days, and I forgot about it. ”

She went to the bookcase behind her desk, found the heroine's new character footsteps, handed it to Scarlett Johansson, and said: "Depart in three days, meet at the international airport at ten o'clock in the morning, don't be late." ”

Scarlett Johansson smiled, "I see." ”

She got up and said goodbye: "See you in three days, Sophia." Goodbye, Mr. Anderson. ”

Ronan nodded politely, "Goodbye, Miss Johnson." ”

Out of courtesy, he sent Scarlett Johansson to the door of his office along with Sofia Coppola.

Looking at Scarlett Johansson's back, Ronan suddenly thought of one thing, Scarlett Johansson aged so quickly in her previous life, unless she was born with a human race, it is estimated that it has something to do with her more chaotic private life.

Scarlett Johansson's private life in reality is a fight with Agent Natasha Normaneuf in the comics.

Ronan talked to Sofia Coppola about the release of Lost in Translation, and left before leaving work.

Out of the studio, he found Scarlett Johansson standing on the side of the road.

"Miss Johnson, you're not gone yet?" Ronan asked curiously.

Scarlett Johansson nodded lightly and said, "The taxi I called hasn't come here yet." She smiled at Ronan, "Just call me Scarlett." ”

Ronan nodded and said, "You can call me Ronan." ”

The black Bentley Ya Chi drove over at this time, and Ronan asked, "Scarlett, where are you going?" ”

Scarlett Johansson replied, "Century City." ”

Century City was in Beverly Hills, and Ronan immediately invited, "Take my ride, I'll go back to Beverly Hills." ”

Scarlett Johansson, of course, didn't squirm and immediately called the taxi and got into the Bentley, and Ronan then got in the car and closed the door, saying to the driver: "David, go from Century City." ”

As the Bentley drove onto the boulevard, Ronan could sense that Scarlett Johansson was looking at him curiously.

"What's wrong?" Ronan asked.

Scarlett Johansson said directly: "I take the liberty of asking a question, how old are you?"

Ronan said, "Twenty-four. ”

Due to the close proximity, Ronan could see many details on Scarlett Johansson's face, as if there were piercings on the wings of her nose and lips.

"I'm just a little curious. Scarlett Johansson explains: "Producers are rarely as young as you. ”

Ronan shrugged slightly: "There are always exceptions. ”

The two didn't know each other well and didn't talk much, and the car soon arrived in Century City, parked in front of a hotel, Scarlett Johansson thanked Ronan and turned into the hotel.

"Let's go, go home. ”

Before Ronan left, he turned his head to look at the hotel, and could only see Scarlett Johansson's back.

Suddenly, he remembered the beginning of "Lost in Translation" in his previous life.

The beginning of this movie is very peculiar, and if you have watched "Lost in Translation", you will definitely remember Scarlett's opening scene.

It was Scarlett Johansson's back lying on her side, with the curves looming under her pink panties......

This has been included in countless lists as the most amazing movie opening of all time.

To achieve such an effect, of course, it is necessary to have a stunning buttocks.

Ronan still remembers admiring the mature and energetic body of 19-year-old Scarlett in his previous life, and feeling an ambiguity and temptation, which made people wonder what she was thinking, what had she done before?

Scarlett Johansson's ass at the beginning of 30 seconds aroused people's curiosity, and after watching it, they found that this was the largest shot in the film......
