In a brightly lit manor in Beverly Hills, the "Godfather 3" kick-off celebration is being held lively, and by the pool outside the villa, a middle-aged man in his forties with a somewhat bald figure is dancing and saying something to the brunette next to him.

"At that time, I worked as an assistant to Mr. Coppola for two consecutive "Godfathers", the position is equivalent to that of an assistant director, you know, I was in my early thirties at that time, and it was not easy to become an assistant director at the age of 30 in Hollywood, and I have been in contact with Mr. Coppola for some years to come. My investor in this film was introduced by Mr. Coppola, and he is very optimistic about my script, so, Miss Connelly, as long as you can play it well, I promise that you will succeed in this transformation. ”

Jennifer Connelly, though a little impatient, didn't dare to show that since she lost her role as the Girl in "Dark Wars" last year, her agent Jim Rester has stopped focusing on her, and as a result, she hasn't gotten any roles for a year.

If it continues like this, maybe she will be completely forgotten by Hollywood, every time she thinks of this possibility, she will feel a strong uneasiness, leaving Hollywood, what else can she do, she will act by herself, and nothing else.

Find a man to marry and be a full-time housewife, although she can accept this choice, but she is not willing to live the kind of boring life that cares about ∫♂ firewood, rice, oil and salt, even if she marries, she hopes to be able to live a little richer.

But among the people she knows, the only one who can bring her this kind of life is the one in front of her. Forty or fifty years old. A person who has a certain seniority status in Hollywood. Not to mention that these people are usually about the same age as her father. Moreover, in Hollywood, these people's marriages are also the most unreliable, maybe when she will be dumped, when she is old and her beauty is no longer good, what should she do?

"Hey, Miss Connelly. Are you listening to me?"

Just a little distracted, the girl soon heard a faint displeased voice in her ears, and quickly cheered up and smiled: "Sorry, Mr. Brandt." ”

Tony Brandt was very satisfied with the girl's attitude, and once again glanced at the girl's bulging chest with the black dress held up high, and the man said: "Miss Connery, it is rude to wander on such a solemn occasion, those big men will not be so generous to me, oh, Mr. Coppola is out." And Al Pacino, the ...... It seems to be his nephew. Nicolas Cage. ”

Jennifer Connelly also saw a few people walking out of the villa laughing all the way, and the bearded man with glasses in the middle was obviously Francis Coppola. The people who were chatting in the courtyard gathered to greet each other.

"Miss Connery, let's go and say hello," said Tony Brandt, raising his arm slightly.

Jennifer Connelly hesitated, but still took the man's arm and walked towards Francis Coppola.

Coming to the vicinity of Francis Coppola, after waiting for the last group of people to leave, Tony Brandt hurriedly let go of Jennifer Connelly and walked towards Coppola with a flattering smile.

"Mr. Coppola, congratulations on being able to direct the final chapter of the 'The Godfather' series, I am sure that this film will definitely make a splash again. ”

"Thank you, Tony, how is your movie?" asked Francis Coppola as he shook hands with Tony Brandt.

"It's almost time to start, oh, this is my pick for the heroine, Miss Jennifer Connelly, who starred in Mr. Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America, and that little girl, Deborah, I don't know if you remember. ”

Francis Coppola looked Jennifer Connelly up and down as if she were examining an object that no beauty could possibly surprise them again.

Looked at by this kind of gaze, the girl who originally wanted to greet Francis Coppola suddenly felt a sense of restraint and unease, and her right hand, which was about to be raised, also fell slightly, and pinched the skirt of the dress crampedly.

"Well, it's not bad, it's just a little too pretty, Tony, your movie is a drama, and it's not a good thing that the heroine is too pretty. ”

Tony Brandt was about to speak, Francis Coppola waved his hand and said: "Of course, it is a movie that you have been preparing for a long time, so how to choose the heroine is your business, and I will not interfere." ”

"No, no, Mr. Coppola, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know where to get the investment, and besides, you don't know how much higher your vision is than mine, if you don't think it's suitable, I will definitely consider it carefully. ”

Hearing Tony Brandt say this, the girl opened her mouth slightly, looked at Francis Coppola, the fingers holding the hem of the skirt trembled a little because of the force, and her heart was even more aggrieved. The role she finally won was about to be ruined because of the casual words of these people, and in an instant she wished that these big people were all dragged into hell.

Connery's face happened to be seen by Francis Coppola, Coppola quickly patted Tony Brandt's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be like this, Tony, I just said casually, this little girl is still good, if you replace her, I don't know how many times she will curse me secretly." ”

"How is it possible, Miss Connelly admires you very much, we were still talking about your movie," Tony Brandt said quickly, and gently poked the girl standing next to her, Jennifer Connelly snorted patiently, and was about to cheer up her mouth to speak, but Francis Coppola had already taken Al Pacino and Nicolas Cage to other places.

"Frank, who is that guy just now, and where I'd like to see him," Al Pacino asked after the three of them had walked away.

Francis Coppola said casually: "When I was filming the first two parts of "The Godfather", he was my assistant, so you will have an impression. Over the years, he has occasionally interacted, some time ago he planned to shoot a movie, and begged me to come here, I couldn't wipe my face, so I helped him introduce a few investors. ”

Al Pacino thought about it, but he still couldn't think of Tony Lambert, so he left it behind.

Seeing that Nicolas Cage, who was standing on the other side of Francis Coppola, was still looking at the door without giving up, Al Pacino smiled: "Well, Nick, I said a long time ago that Eric rarely attends party duì, he doesn't like this kind of occasion very much. It's better for you to prepare for the audition, as long as your watch can satisfy Eric, and you are a child of the Coppola family, I believe that Eric will definitely hand over the male protagonist of "Ghost Love" to you. ”

Hearing Al Pacino suddenly mention Eric, Francis Coppola also showed an emotional look: "Speaking of which, some time ago, many people thought that the little guy couldn't survive, but in the end, not only was he safe and sound, but Michael Eisner suffered a loss and gave away a script." Al, you've worked with Eric Williams, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Al Pacino thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "I can't tell, at the end of the year before last, I had just come back to act on Broadway, and Eric approached me, in a café, he told me his script, I found nothing special, I was going to refuse, and then the little guy confidently told me the script of "Smell a Woman", and then I found that I was moved, and soon followed him to Los Angeles. If I had to say it, he would ...... Very mature, far beyond the maturity of your peers, when you get along with him, you will quickly forget that you are in front of a young man who is less than twenty years old, but it seems to be chatting with your peers. ”

"If you say that, I would like to meet this miraculous young man," Francis Coppola said with a smile: "It seems that Steven has been in contact with him and wants to get the adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park", but he was rejected by the little guy, haha, in Hollywood, there are not many people who can make Steven deflated." ”

"He's definitely qualified now," Al Pacino said with a smile.

Francis Coppola was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, he does have this qualification, maybe in a few years, Hollywood's seven will become eight, I really don't know how he created so many blockbuster films, last year's top ten box office, fireflies produced half of the films, it's really smacking." ”

The three of them were talking, and they saw from a distance that there seemed to be a commotion at the entrance of the manor, and they looked at each other, and several of them walked in that direction in unison, wanting to see what was going on.

……

"Fami, why do you look a little cramped, doesn't the dress fit?" asked curiously as he drove towards Coppola's estate, as he drove towards Coppola's estate, he glanced at Famick Jensen who was sitting in the passenger seat.

At this time, the girl was wearing a rose-colored one-shoulder tunic evening dress, and her hair was also tied into a bun, although it was only a simple layer of light makeup, but it was still many times more beautiful than when Eric first saw the girl in the afternoon.

"No, nothing, it's just a professional habit," Famick Jensen said embarrassedly, his hands resting loosely on his knees.

"Habits?" said Eric, curious.

"Yes," the girl smiled awkwardly, but explained: "I used to go to fashion shows, and the clothes I wore were all made by the designer, and if they were accidentally torn, we little models couldn't afford to pay for them, so we couldn't wait to take them off immediately after walking the runway."
