The sun disappeared behind the sand dunes, and Sofia Coppola stepped on the soft sand and walked towards the trailer where she lived, finishing a busy day's work, although her body was not very tired, but her spirit was extremely tired, especially her ears, which were constantly stimulated by the sound of huge explosions, and now there was a dull pain, and there was always some buzzing noise.

"It's good that after so long, I'm used to it."

Walking to the trailer, habitually looking at the side, it was Duke's residence, obviously there was no one, when the guy put himself into work, he could only be described as preoccupied, he had taken so many explosion shots today, and I didn't know what time he would get off work.

"Leave him alone, isn't there a Naomi Watts here now?"

Sophia muttered, pulled her trailer, walked in, took off her yellow sand-stained clothes, and got into the bathroom, standing under the shower, looking up to meet the warm water.

Maybe the scale of the explosion caused by the crew today was too large, and a lot of sand was drilled into her hair.

Thinking back to the afternoon shooting, Sophia felt her heart beat suddenly, even if she adapted to Duke's shooting style, but when she saw the hundreds of feet long spaceship model, it was engulfed in fire in the huge explosion, and she still couldn't help but be frightened.

After taking a shower, Sophia wiped it briefly, looked at the time and saw that it was not too late, wrapped a bath towel around her, sat down at the table, took out a pen and notebook, and planned to write a work diary.

She doesn't write every day, but whenever she has a new perspective on a movie, she always writes it down in time, and it's not just about the movie, but also about someone she works for.

The pen slowly swirled around her fingertips, and after Sophia opened the book, she suddenly lost the power to put down the pen.

Putting down the pen, she didn't close the notebook, but kept flipping through it, looking at some of the things she had recorded in the past, especially some of Duke's views on directing, which seemed extremely interesting at this time.

At Warner Studios, I found Duke's focus and hard work to be adventurous, never uttering words like 'impossible' and 'impossible,' and never wavering even when confronted with the biggest problems. Although he always withstands pressure and endures anger, he always keeps a cool head, and sees himself as an outsider in the crew, and can always make timely criticisms and suggestions for the staff who make mistakes.

In the post-production, Duke and Charles Rowan disagreed, and the two argued for two hours before he convinced each other. When Duke made the film, he gave me the feeling that he was the Creator, and that if there was to be light, there must be light, no matter what method was used. We discussed the film's practice of General Hammer's admonition to soldiers, who firmly believes that humanity does not suddenly evolve to a certain stage, and then in an instant he sings about world peace hand in hand, so that all the intrigues and intrigues disappear.

I should say that I believe that peace can be achieved through the use of higher armaments - and perhaps it is this ingrained belief that influenced Duke's understanding of cinema, and he was always so obsessed with special effects, explosions, and action combat.

"Day" project, this will be a super production with a total investment of more than 100 million US dollars, Duke finally got all the power on the set and post-production, this qiē is what he deserves, most people, including me, have this understanding - Duke will always be the director who comes out of the set with a strong desire for control and destruction, and we all live surrounded by his powerful aura, and rarely have the right to speak!

October 3, 1993, ......

Duke finally arrived at the Duke's studio, and I smelled the woman's perfume and big from him. The smell of smoke after the hemp burns, he went to a female model's pie yesterday, and he can guess what he did without thinking about it! Duke also admitted that he was with Charlize Theron and Cameron Diaz last night, and I got into an argument with him, and I found that I couldn't suppress the anger in my heart, and I didn't want to suppress it!

I asked him, just after a little success, did he forget the importance of hard work? Have you forgotten the high investment in the film you are preparing? I warned him that if the film failed, he would be worthless and a failure! Being too obsessed with femininity will only hinder you!

Sophia, I want you to understand one thing - once we start this adventure and the film starts shooting, nothing can stop me, not even the beautiful and sexy woman! The only way to stop me is to kill me!

Duke answered me like this, and I looked him in the eye and realized that he really thought this - he would not leave his fate to anyone, but would only hold it in his own hands!

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the trailer, Sophia put away her notebook, walked over and opened the door, and there was a girl standing outside who was not very tall, the youngest of the main actors in the crew.

"Scarlett, is there something wrong?" Sophia just showed her head.

"It's almost time to eat, mom asked me to ask if you're going to come along?" Scarlett took a step forward, "Can I go in?" ”

"Of course."

Although the little girl was in some trouble, Sophia liked her very much and let her in, "Sit casually, I'll change my clothes." ”

After changing her clothes, Sophia took Scarlett Johansson to the side of the dining car to meet up with Melanie Sloane, who had passed earlier.

"You're done with today's lessons?" Sophia asked, pulling her by the way.

"It's done, it's boring." Scarlett's brows were wrinkled together, "Why did I have to shoot all of my scenes separately instead of focusing on a few days?" Does Duke have an opinion about me again? ”

"Honey, when it came to filming, Duke was all about business." Sophia turned her head and said seriously, "Although strictly speaking, you are his sister, but if you make a mistake, he will not show mercy." Scarlett, any director would do that. ”

"Why do you always talk to Duke?" Scarlett's eyes rolled, and she suddenly changed the subject, "Sophia, don't you like Duke like that Naomi Watts?" ”

"It's not something you should be concerned about." Sophia shook her head.

"Cut, I'll be ten years old soon." Scarlett looked at Sophia's face, didn't notice anything special, and said, "It won't be long before I can have a boyfriend." ”

Two women, one big and one small, jokingly walked into the huge tent connected to the food truck, which is a public dining room for the crew, but except for the rented trailer and dining car, most of the facilities are actually provided by the military, and the Pentagon does provide a lot of convenience for the crew.

"I see Duke." Scarlett gestured to a dining table near the corner of the tent, "He's sitting with Naomi Watts' nasty woman." ”

"Hate?" Sophia couldn't help but feel inexplicable, "Did she do anything to you?" ”

"When I was at Warner Studios, I once brought an ice cream to Duke." Scarlett Johansson waved to her mother, then walked to Duke's table, whispering to Sophia as she went, "Duke was busy, so she put it aside for the time being, but when she went, she threw my ice cream directly into the trash." ”

"I'm! I'm very angry! She muttered, "I don't like her at all, and if she were Duke's girlfriend, I would definitely say bad things about her to my godmother, and Duke respects her the most." ”

Sophia couldn't help but roll her eyes, this little girl was really not an ordinary trouble.

"Hi, Duke."

Just as she was about to walk to the table, Sophia found that Scarlett Johansson immediately changed into a cute smile full of innocence, trotted over, moved a chair and sat next to Duke, "Mom wanted to eat in the trailer, but I missed you, so I came to find you." ”

Pulling a chair over, Sophia sat down next to Scarlett.

"What do you want to eat?" Duke took a glass, picked up a bottle of Gatorade from Naomi Watts's cup, and poured a glass for the little one, "I'm in for a treat today." ”

Yesterday Duke also received a call from his mother, asking him to take care of her lovely goddaughter.

"Still don't." Scarlett took the cup and shook her head, "I'll be going to New York in a few days, will you have a treat in New York?" Also, it's going to be the Super Bowl soon, and I've heard my godmother say that Santa Fea has a halftime event, can you bring me along? ”

After thinking for a moment, and seeing the expectant eyes on that small face, Duke nodded slowly, "I can take you to Atlanta to watch the Super Bowl, don't be happy yet, Scarlett!" There are two conditions, first, you have to put on a performance that exceeds my expectations during the shoot, and second, you have to convince your mom yourself! ”

"I promise to do it!" Scarlett laughed happily.

"Super Bowl?" Naomi Watts on the other side also seemed interested, "Why don't we go to Atlanta together." ”

Before Duke could speak, Scarlett Johansson asked urgently, "Together?" Are you going too, Nami? ”

Seeing the other party nodding, she pretended to be strange and scratched her blonde hair, "Nami, are you Duke's girlfriend?" ”

"Do you know love, Scarlett?" The unnaturalness on Naomi Watts' face flashed fleetingly, and under the cover of her increasingly excellent acting skills, no one could notice it at all, "You're still so young." ”

"Of course!" Scarlett nodded vigorously.

"Scarlett, what do you want to eat?"

Duke stood up, interrupting the inappropriate topic for discussion, and after listening to the little girl announce the names of a few meals, he gestured to Sophia and Naomi Watts, "Let's go get dinner." ”

The three of them turned their heads and walked towards the dining car, and behind them, Scarlett Johansson reached for Naomi Watts's cup, spat a large mouthful of saliva into Gatorade inside, and shook it deliberately, looked closely, felt that there was nothing unusual, and put it back in its place.
