Don recruited 42 people from the grassroots as his royal team, but two of them were too bad to support the wall, and they were too lazy to do anything, so they have been fired.

These people were not enough to make a high-end Hollywood movie, and for this, Don enjoyed the "semi-packaged" service of CAA.

The lack of extras and crew members in the crew are supplemented by CAA operations. For this, the crew had to pay an additional $2 million.

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

The reason is simple, she wants to meet the most famous young director in Hollywood today, Donn Walker.

Sophia was born in the Coppola family at the top of Hollywood, and she started acting at a very young age, but a "Godfather 3" directly ruined her acting career.

Sofia Coppola, 26 years old this year, is determined to transform and take over the baton from her father as 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 make a good movie at such a young age?

It wasn't until this year, when "Titanic" filmed by an eighteen-year-old child was released and caused a fanatical sensation around the world, that the perception of the Coppola family changed.

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 control, so she joined Donn's crew through her father's connection, wanting to see with her own eyes the young director's methods of controlling the crew and apply them.

After coming to the crew, Sophia really found that the entire crew of "My Grand Greek Wedding" respected Donn Walker, which made her quite surprised and admired.

Sophia's job is an assistant to the director's team, to put it bluntly, she obeys the orders of the director, assistant director, assistant director and others, and runs errands for them.

But her fame is too great, except for Don and Nicole, the entire crew is the biggest in her wrist, and no one dares to instruct her.

At this moment, Sophia Coppola is following 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, so 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 with her father since she was a child and is not ignorant of the director's profession.

Andy Thompson smiled and shook his head, "Sophia, life is hard for extras, they have dreams, but they can't see hope. If we use shock to control them, we can certainly complete the shooting, but stiff emotions can easily be brought into the scene. Using a gentle way to inspire and guide them can often achieve unexpected results. ”

Sofia Coppola was very surprised, this is a message she didn't get from her father, "Andy, the way you work, it's amazing!"

Andy Thompson waved his hand and said with a smile: "Nothing to marvel at, two months ago, I was an extra!"

"What...... What?"

Sophia thought she had misheard and blinked a few times, "Andy, you're really joking." ”

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

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

Even if Done Walker were a genius, he wouldn't have had the audacity to fool around with a movie that was invested in tens of millions of dollars.

She found the videographer Alice Moore.

Sofia Coppola's specialty is videography, so she can see Alice Moore's professionalism and skillfulness, and there are several times when Alice makes framing suggestions, even Done Walker appreciates it.

This can't be from the bottom, right?

Female videographers are rare, and it is absolutely impossible to bury a cameraman of Alice Moore's level.

"Alice, you're doing a great job, can you easily ask what your profession was before that?" said Sophia, who had great respect for such a good female videographer.

Alice Moore was puzzled and asked, "What happened to my previous profession, cameraman?"

"Have you ever made a movie?"

"I've photographed it. ”

"How many have you filmed?"

"There are always dozens of them, right?"

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

"It's nothing, just ask. Just now Andy said that they are all from the grassroots, and I don't believe it. ”

"Oh, that's it!" Alice Moore waved her hand self-deprecatingly, "Andy is right, I do come from the grassroots. ”

Sophia was confused, frowned delicately, and said displeasedly: "Alice, I really have a doubt, I'm not joking!"

Alice was surprised, "I'm not kidding, I'm from the grassroots." ”

"You don't mean you've made several films...... Dozens of movies?" Sophia was furious, she didn't understand why Done Walker's crew was full of such liars.

"I've made dozens of films!"

Alice Moore was a little amused when she saw Sophia's angry and angry look, "Okay, Sophia, you misunderstood, the movie I said is different from the movie you said." ”

"Huh?"

Sophia's brow furrowed even tighter.

"I'm from the San Fernando Valley. Alice paused, afraid that this young lady wouldn't understand, and added, "It's a place that specializes in male and female adult movies." ”

Sofia Coppola felt that her brain was booming, and her whole worldview, outlook on life, and values collapsed!

The eyes were full of small stars, so that Sophia's open mouth could be stuffed with an apple.

After a long time, Sophia came back to her senses and muttered, "But...... But how could he know you, and he called you to make a Hollywood movie?"

"You mean the boss?" Alice shrugged, "Then I don't know, maybe I've seen my films, after all...... The sales of my work are still quite good. ”

Sophia's face is about to be distorted, and her fair face is full of wonderful colors.

……

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

Looking at such an excellent performance of this small character caught from nowhere, Sofia Coppola didn't know what to say.

Of Donn's three assistant directors, the best one is David Knight, who has audited at USC for two years, but his ability to guide actors is really better than her father's assistant.

And Nicole Kidman's performance has also become comfortable from being at a loss at the beginning.

Looking at her completely ugly face, it's hard to imagine that this is the peerless Mrs. Cruise. Under Donn's continuous criticism and correction, Nicole Kidman is quietly changing.

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

"CUT!" Donn shouted, "Good, Nicole, I appreciate your professional attitude. After this one, take a twenty-minute break, and the next one we shoot the family meeting. ”

Nicole Kidman breathed a sigh of relief, not to see that she had just been praised by Done, but she was angry. She had already been tossed and ran out of energy, relying on professionalism and perseverance.

"Sophia, I've never seen such a stubborn director......! Mr. Coppola, is that the same?" Nicole Kidman didn't want to deal with Done, so she went straight to Sophia to complain.

Sophia stared at Nicole's angry face, feeling a little lost, "Nicole, you misunderstood Done." ”

"Misunderstanding?" Nicole smiled coldly, "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 and making me succumb!"

Sophia was stunned for a moment, and immediately straightened her face, "Nicole, you're wrong! Actually, Don also goes to my room every night and makes some requests to me, but so what? He's only nineteen years old, isn't that what a boy of his age should be?"

"You ......"

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

Sophia said: "Nicole, you are a very professional and good actor, I see this in my eyes, but please also believe in Don's professional attitude, okay......? Request, but this is only limited to the relationship between men and women, and it will never be related to the filming of the movie, do you understand?"

"But he's been torturing me, tormenting me, tormenting me like crazy!"

Nicole Kidman grabbed her hair like crazy.

Sophia's face was very solemn, she was a bystander, and she could naturally see Don's intentions, "Nicole, I hope you don't look at Don with malice, he ...... He has bad intentions, but he's not a bad person, you know? You said he tortured you, then I can tell you very responsibly, Nicole, your performance during this time is the best you've ever seen since I met you!"

"Huh? yes...... Really?"

Nicole Kidman was stunned, she had nothing but resentment towards Donn, just like the bigwigs in the circle who had been pestering her and constantly threatening.

Hearing Sophia say this, she suddenly realized that Don ...... It really doesn't seem to be the same. In private, he never mentioned movies, and in the crew, he never mentioned private matters.

If you insist on saying that there is, it is only "borrowing", not "threatening".

"Like...... It's really a misunderstanding......"

Nicole Kidman muttered to herself, a little dazed.
