"This is your yacht?"

Crossing the long trestle and walking to the yacht parked on the dock, Zach? Schneider ends up with Sophia? Coppola's small talk, looking up at Duke on the yacht, said in a loud voice, "This guy is too small, isn't he?" I thought it was at least a hundred feet long. ”

Sophia's monotonous snort sounded, with a hint of sarcasm, "Zach, do you think that with the displacement of a yacht more than 100 feet, it can be parked on a shallow beach?" ”

She turned her head to look at the yacht and teased, "Duke, why didn't you see your girlfriend?" ”

"Girlfriend?"

Standing in the high driver's seat, Duke was checking the equipment for going to sea, when he turned around and looked at Sophia, "What girlfriend?" Honey, you know I've always been single. ”

"Tina, help me hand over the bag of fishing tackle." Duke said to the female assistant again.

It was the weekend, and after nearly three weeks of continuous busyness, Duke simply invited the two friends to go out to sea and relax.

Tina? How many tackle bags did Faye carry from Sofia? As Coppola walked in front of him, he whispered, "Zeta? Miss Jones was asked to move out by Nancy and Parney in March. ”

See Tina? Faye walks on the yacht, Duke to Zach below? Schneider and Sophia? Coppola beckoned, "What are you waiting for?" Hurry up, we're leaving. ”

Zack? Schneider and Sophia? Coppola boarded the yacht and sat in the open cabin below, though it was only forty feet long. However, it is still enough to carry four people.

Although he learned from the instructor for a while, Duke's driving skills can only be said to be average, but fortunately, there are flat beaches under the sea surface around here. With plenty of room for him to flex, the yacht made a particularly large arc, gradually picking up speed, and sailed away from the shallow beach towards the Pacific Ocean in the distance.

However, this is an offshore sport yacht, and Duke won't go too far. Add a pair of sunglasses to the bridge of your nose and after a few hundred feet away from the coast. Instead of moving forward, they turned around and sailed along the coastline along the offshore waterway.

"I thought we'd be swimming back soon."

Zach from below? Schneider's voice. Duke took the moment to look back, he was working for Tina? Filipino and Sophia? Coppola poured his wine, "I didn't expect Duke's driving skills to be bad." ”

"Zach, if you want to swim back, I don't think anyone will object." Duke gradually slowed down the yacht, "You can jump now, there must be a shark waiting for you in the sea, or a female shark." ”

"As long as it's female." Zack? Schneider raised his glass to the driver's seat, "I'm confident to tame it!" ”

This made everyone who put it on laugh. Sophia picks up that bottle of red wine for Zach? Schneider fell up and sneered. "One day, you will fall on a woman."

Zack? Schneider didn't care, and touched the cup with Sophia, "I heard that you are preparing a real yàn film?" Need me to recommend a few actresses for you? ”

"I'll call you if I need to."

After that, Sophia? Coppola couldn't help but ask curiously, "Let's be honest." Zach, how many women are you dating at the same time right now? ”

"Not much. Just a few, just for fun. "Zach? Schneider smiled and saw a lot of things thoroughly, "I know why they are around me, if their careers improve a little, I will soon fall out of love." ”

"You can go and make a first-line actress."

You've been familiar with these people for a long time, Tina? Fei leaned over and said, "With your capital, it's not difficult. ”

"Soak a first-line actress?" Zack? Schneider shook his head directly, "Then my freedom is gone, do you think those big-name actresses can tolerate me continuing to associate with others?" And I have to guard against their cheating anytime and anywhere, and even find out in the end that the person who snatched his girlfriend may be a woman. ”

"Zach, looks like you've had bitter memories." Duke answered.

He maneuvered, parked the yacht in the open sea, jumped from the driver's seat, and took Tina? The wine glass handed by Fei sat in Sophia? Next to Coppola.

"Yes, there are painful memories." Zack? Schneider touched Duke's glass, took a sip, and said frankly, "I used to have a crazy crush on Judy? Foster, who also tried to pursue her, who knew she turned out to be a lace edge! ”

"Why don't you try to straighten her up?"

Hear Duke's quip, Zach? Schneider was puzzled, "Straightened?" ”

Duke simply explained, "It's about normalizing her sexuality." ”

"I don't think I've got that much charisma yet." Zack? Schneider shrugged, "It's just an impossible task." ”

The four men drank a glass of red wine, took out their fishing tackle, and sat down on the side of the boat.

Attaching the fishing rod to the buckle on the side of the boat, Duke asked Sophia next to him, "How's your movie going?" ”

"The film rights to the novel have been taken down." Sofia? Coppola grabbed the fishing rod, thought for a moment, and said, "After the end of the film, the project will start, and my father promised to be the producer, and if it goes well, the film will be completed next year." ”

Duke nodded, "If there's anything you need help with, just ask." ”

"Yes." Sophia was not polite to him either, "I'm talking to Warner Bros. about distribution." ”

"I'll call them."

This is one of the few friends, do a little favor within his ability, and Duke will not refuse.

Zach over there? Schneider had just thrown the hook into the sea, and when he heard Duke and Sophia's words, he said loudly, "Sophia, you got the investment so quickly?" I thought you were going to ask Duke for help? ”

Sofia? Coppola turned around and shrugged his shoulders over there, "Actually, there are still people who are optimistic about me. ”

Of course, everyone knows that the main source of funding for Sophia's new film is the Coppola family.

"What about you, Zach?"

These things have been said a long time ago, and Sophia didn't need to scruple about it, and asked directly, "Have you found a suitable project?" ”

"I'm not like you." Zack? Schneider shook his finger at her, "I'm not interested in small-budget literary films, I'm waiting for the opportunity to invest in big productions." ”

"Actually, there will be an opportunity soon." He winked his eyes at Sophia.

Duke himself has limited time, and the sequels of some films may drag on too long, Zach? Schneider has been working with him for more than five years, and the two have similar ideas and are deeply influenced by him, and now their ability is basically not a problem, and they are undoubtedly the most suitable successor.

said that it was out to relax, but the topic turned to the movie, and work became the focus of several people's discussions.

"I heard you guys put Keanu? Reeves's salary has been pressed to the level of the lower second-tier again? Sophia asked.

"$7 million is not a low salary at all." Zack? Schneider replied, "It's a lot of second-tier actors, and don't forget, he starred in "Life and Death 2" has been in theaters for two weeks now, and the North American box office is only a little more than $20 million, and the past few movies have not done well at the box office. ”

Like Zach? As Schneider said, the box office of several movies in a row is average, especially "Life and Death 2", even if it is Keanu? Reeves's agent couldn't call out the salary of the first-line male star, and the initial price of $10 million plus 10% of the box office net profit share was initially offered in the negotiations. Grande refused.

If it's Keanu after "Life and Death"? Reeves was worth the price, but after nearly five years of sinking, his appeal was much less than before, and the two sides finally agreed on a figure of $7 million.

Keanu? Not only is Reeves the highest-paid actor in the crew, but his $7 million is more than all the other actors combined.

"When are you going to Australia?" Sophia asked again.

Sticking his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, Duke replied, "Next week, now that the actors' contracts have been finalized, it's almost time to sign them, and I'm waiting for ILM's special effects team, as long as they are ready, the crew will all be transferred to Sydney." ”

The special effects of "The Matrix" are still outsourced to Industrial Light & Magic.

"Uncle Lucas and his crew are also in Australia."

Seeing Duke's inquiring eyes, Sophia explained, "I went to San Francisco some time ago to listen to Amanda? Lucas said that the Australian government gave Lucasfilm great tax incentives, and the Star Wars prequels could also find suitable locations such as jungles and deserts there, so he decided that the main shooting of the film would be in Australia. ”

She smiled playfully, "The Star Wars studio scene will also be placed at Fox Studios in Sydney, and counting the time, filming is almost about to start." ”

"It will be much easier for me to communicate with George in the future."

Hearing Sophia's explanation, Duke quickly figured out that a crew like Star Wars is a sought-after item in any country.

How many people said George? Lucas's new Star Wars, the conversation gradually turned to Duke's new movie.

"Duke, in the morning, Charlize? Theron called me. "Tina? Faye reminded Duke, "She said she couldn't understand what the script was about." ”

This is not surprising to Duke, the culture of most Hollywood stars can only be said to be very ordinary, remember the former Sean? Connery rejected the role of Morpheus because he couldn't understand the script, which led to the black man who was so cool that he fell scum.

"It's okay, go back and inform her, it doesn't matter if she doesn't understand it, as long as she understands what her character should do in what scenario."

The sun is getting closer to sea level, and the wind at sea is increasing, Duke drove the yacht back to the dock equipped with the manor without waiting for the sun to set, and invited more team members in the evening, and made a little relaxation on the beach at home, and the whole crew will go to Sydney next week, and most of these people will stay in Australia for more than a year or even longer.
