Chapter 5 The Family
After receiving guests at the door for a long time, Sid finally couldn't stand anymore and came to the rest area of the venue with Britney and others.
"Hello, yes, of course. Along the way, Sid didn't know how many people he greeted with a smile, except for those big stars who were familiar to TV and movies, many behind-the-scenes people in the circle, Sid didn't know, so he could only laugh and laugh.
"I finally know why Anna Wintour had to make her assistant memorize the list of party guests, it's not a personal thing. Sid complained wordlessly as he untied the black bow tie around his neck.
"Brother Sid, don't you have the ability to remember instantaneously, how can you still not know who the other party is?" asked Lindsay Xiao Nizi curiously.
"Yes, I have the ability to remember instantaneously, but only with the people I've met. Sid said with a wry smile.
"I'll come, Sid. Seeing Sid's "clumsy" untie of the bow tie for a long time and not untie it, Britney couldn't help but step forward to help him.
"Well, it's better to be my Nini. Sid smiled and put his arm around Britney's waist.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, it's a formal occasion today. Britney's cheeks were slightly red and she twisted her waist to avoid Sid's claws.
Lindsay, who was on the side, saw such a harmonious appearance between the two, and couldn't help but pout, "Brother Sid is a bad person, he knows how to bully people." ”
"Well, are there any bad people, where do you dare to bully us Lindsay, you're getting impatient!" Sid raised his eyebrows, and then said with a "vicious" look.
Xiao Nizi was soon amused by Sid's witty and humorous means, and Britney couldn't help but sneer: "Okay, Sid, don't move, your shirt is crumpled." ”
Just as a few people were flirting, a gentle voice sounded next to him, "Hello, Mr. Leonhardt, can I disturb you?"
A few people stopped, they turned their heads to look, it turned out to be a long-haired, slim lady, Sid couldn't help but straighten his waist, and smiled slightly: "Are you?"
"Hello, I'm Sofia Coppola. The blonde lady replied with a slight smile, her humble and elegant demeanor and gentle expression couldn't help but make people feel good.
And this name immediately made Sid and the three secretly frightened, or rather her surname.
Sid raised his eyebrows slightly, it turned out to be the eldest lady of the Coppola family!
Speaking of the Coppola family, it is necessary to start with the great director Francis Coppola.
As the creator of the "Godfather" trilogy, Francis Coppola, as the representative of Italian descent in Hollywood, has undoubtedly had a huge influence throughout the 70s and 90s.
Of course, if you push it a few decades earlier, Francis Coppola was also a hairy kid like Sid when he was young.
But in Coppola's early film career, apart from making films, his favorite thing was to evaluate each other's works with like-minded young people. In a modest apartment in New York, a projector was erected, a white curtain was hung, and a simple screening room was built.
Then turn off the lights and watch each other's most recent images, commenting and even criticizing each other without any scruples.
This group of young people looks no different from the famous people in history who like to communicate and form associations, like Darwin and Watt's Moonlight Society, and Benjamin Franklin and George Washington's Freemasonry.
It was only when this group of young people succeeded in Hollywood one after another and supported each other that everyone was surprised to find that they actually controlled the entire Hollywood!
Because their names are connected to a huge web of stars - Spielberg, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, Francis Coppola, and this is just a part of it.
With such a network, coupled with the legend of three generations of the Coppola family and 9 Oscar statuettes, it is not an exaggeration to call it the first family in Hollywood.
"Okay, can I call you Sophia?" Sid smiled and nodded.
"Of course, I'll call you Sid too, no problem. "Sofia Coppola is worthy of everyone's best and has a generous and decent demeanor.
"Oh, by the way, I'll introduce you......" Sid turned to introduce Britney and Lindsay to him.
"Of course I know the American icon Miss Britney, and our talented actress Lindsay Ro. Sophia Coppola was so beautiful that she smiled at what Britney and Lindsay said in one sentence.
Next, several people took advantage of the situation, whether it was Sid's witty humor, Sofia Coppola's, Britney's generosity and decency, or Lindsay's cleverness, all made the conversation quite "harmonious".
"Honestly, I definitely don't mean to disrespect Martin Sr. (Scorsese), but I've always felt that the ultimate form of gangster movies should be like "The Godfather". Sid held up the champagne and smiled a little drunkly.
"Hehe, if my father were here, he would be glad to hear you say that. Sofia Coppola also smiled and said, "I think Sid's movies are also very good." ”
"Oh, you've seen it?" asked Sid with a smile.
"Of course, you don't think I'm talking about the crown. Sofia Coppola retorted with a smile, "I've watched your latest "Begin Again" several times, and the more I watch it, the more I like it. ”
"Oh, I thought you'd like 'Youth' or 'Warm Corpse'? After all, the male protagonists in it are all handsome guys. Sid blinked slyly.
"Hehehe, you're really joking. Sofia Coppola covered her lips and smiled, "I'm long past the age of watching "Youth Musical". ”
"Who said it, I think Miss Sophia is going to play the heroine of "Youth Musical", and others will not think there is any problem. Britney said with a smile.
But as soon as these words came out, Sid immediately secretly screamed in his heart, and Lindsay's little Nizi also showed a snickering expression, but Britney herself did not notice it.
Sofia Coppola was angrily scolded by almost all fans and the media because of her scummy acting skills in "The Godfather 3", and was also awarded two Golden Raspberry Awards in a row, and was ridiculed as the worst new star of the Golden Raspberry decade.
directly put the 18-year-old her, and she didn't dare to enter the actor circle half a step again in her whole life.
Now Britney is laughing at starring in "Youth Musical", isn't she rubbing salt in her wounds?
However, Sophia Coppola was slightly stunned for a moment, and then quickly smiled and skipped this topic, which made Sid secretly raise his eyebrows, it seems that old Coppola did give birth to a good daughter.
