The Star Wars series, whose influence in North America has long surpassed the scope of movies, has formed a unique Star Wars culture. It was with this series that Lucas became one of the four major directors of the eighties.

The release of the Star Wars prequel is undoubtedly a grand festival for many Star Wars fans in North America.

Ryan also saw from TV reports that the most avid Star Wars fans quit their jobs a month before the movie's release to focus on reviewing the entire series from scratch in order to wait for a new prequel to be released.

On the day of the premiere, the Metropolitan Theatre in New York was crowded with celebrities walking hand in hand on the red carpet, most notably the robot R2D2 and Master Yoda.

Today's protagonist belongs to George? Lucas and his film, Ryan was very self-conscious, only stayed at the door of the theater for a short time, slightly satisfied the reporter's request to take pictures, and walked into the theater.

"Where's Nicole?" Waiting for George? Lucas walked into the theater and, upon seeing Ryan, noticed that the other person he had invited had not come.

"Jenkins Pictures has an urgent matter to deal with, and she's back in Los Angeles." Nicole left in a hurry last night.

"And what about my heroine?" George? Lucas's beard was about to rise, and he vented his frustration to Ryan, "This is the person you recommended, that Natalie?" Miss Portman, a little too maverick. ”

"I'm sorry, George, you know, but time is always tight for someone who wants to make a difference in both their studies and film." His lover has to defend himself, and Ryan is still very conscious.

George? Lucas didn't want to say anything more, and after a few more small talks, he went to greet the others.

No matter what others criticize George? Lucas will only eat the old book, but this is the premiere of the Star Wars series after all, and countless Hollywood celebrities have come here, and even some people who have not appeared much in the past two years have been invited by him.

"Hello. Mr. Coppola. "Ryan greets Francis, who is being held by his daughter? Coppola.

"Ryan." The old man shook Ryan's outstretched hand, "I didn't expect you to agree to play Anakin?" Skywalker. ”

"It's not about pleasing women." Sofia? Coppola muttered, "Where's Nat, Ryan?" Didn't she come? ”

"She's going to review her homework." Ryan had no choice but to come up with this excuse again.

"You young people talk, I'll go say hello to my old friend." Francis? Coppola knows very well that their time is over, and it doesn't hurt to let her daughter make more friends with Hollywood's emerging powerhouses.

"Listen to George, you're not going to participate in the second part?" After the two of them found a quiet place. Ryan asked.

"I'm going to end my career as an actor for a while." Sofia? Coppola hid his trademark big teeth, "I can imagine now that tomorrow those people will start laughing at my teeth and acting skills again!" ”

This can be said to be the biggest obstacle for actors from famous families, if the performance in the film is good, it is normal, if the performance is not good, just wait to be ridiculed by the media for 'shameful nepotism'.

"Don't pay too much attention to the voices of those people."

Frankly, what the media portrays Sophia? Coppola's acting skills are not exaggerated, she really has no talent in this area," Sophia. Didn't you choose to become a director? I'm sure you'll make everyone who has laughed at you keep their mouths shut. ”

"Seems like you have faith in me?" Sofia? Coppola laughed, her bunny teeth weren't really ugly. "Can you invest in my next film?"

"You have an idea?" Ryan was curious.

"There's a little, but it's vague." She stared at Ryan earnestly and asked, "If you can, can you help me improve it?" ”

"Are you sure?" Ryan stops the waiter passing by. He took two cups of soda and handed them to Sophia, "Sophia." Do you know what I'm best at, and are you sure that your next work will be a completely commercial subject? ”

"Come on, Ryan." Sofia? Coppola took a big sip of soda, "Scarlett told me a lot about you, and 'Desert Island' proves that you can create great literary works." ”

"When did Scarlett become a traitor." Ryan muttered deliberately and asked, "How's she doing?" ”

"It's outstanding, much better than what I look like." Sophia seemed a little embarrassed, hesitated and said, "It's about interpersonal relationships...... She and Kirsten? Dunst, not very pleasant to get along. ”

"Scarlett is my friend......"

Before Ryan could finish speaking, Sophia nodded, "I know what to do." ”

"So be it for now." Out of the corner of Ryan's eye, he caught sight of an old man and was about to leave, Sophia? Coppola asked, "What about what just happened?" ”

"When you have a clear idea, you can send it to my mailbox, and I can help you give some advice. This is your work, Sophia.

After leaving this sentence, Ryan took a few steps and caught up with the old man, "Hi, Mr. Scott. ”

"Ryan......" the old man looked at him strangely.

"Can we talk?" Ryan made a gesture of please.

"Absolutely."

Ridley? Scott followed Ryan to the other party just now, Sophia watched him go and return, guessing that the two might have something important to discuss, and when he wanted to leave, Ryan waved his hand and made a gesture that it didn't matter.

As a woman, curiosity is an essential factor. Sofia? Coppola simply pricked up his ears.

"Ridley, can I ask you to direct a film?"

Is this Ryan's voice, Sophia? Capora is well aware that his directness and decisiveness in dealing with film matters is known throughout Hollywood.

"Oh? Can you ask which one it is? It can't be "100% Men", right? Sophia rolled her eyes and said to herself, is this kind of subject matter suitable for you? Besides, Nancy? The news that Miles is in charge of the director of this movie has long been spread throughout the circle.

"Gladiator!" The voice is still so crisp.

"Just the script of the Roman Empire that Hollywood spread some time ago?"

"That's right, that's it."

"Are you going to ......?"

"That's right, Ridley, this is the script I prepared for myself."

Hear this, Sophia? Coppola knew that as long as Ridley? Scott is not old and will definitely take the job, what is Ryan's biggest goal now? It's already obvious from the transformation in his "Desert Island Aftermath".

And he is the guarantee of the box office, this kind of fame and fortune, if he changes himself, he will definitely respond directly.

Sure enough, as she thought, Ridley, who urgently needs to turn over? Scott nodded happily, "I need to see the script first, if I guessed correctly, this is an epic genre?" ”

After Ryan nodded, Ridley? Scott's voice came again, "You know, Ryan, this type of movie requires a very long lead time and a ...... budget."

Sophia's gaze kept falling on Ryan, only to see him raise his hand and interrupt Ridley? Scott, "The film won't start until next year at the earliest, and I have a $100 million production budget for the film. ”

Well, he's a lot more ambitious than his cousin who only knows how to eat, drink, and spend money indiscriminately. Sofia? Coppola sighed suddenly.

"What are you thinking? So distracted? ”

Ridley? After Scott leaves, Ryan meets Sophia? Coppola was still staring straight at him, and immediately walked over, "Sophia? ”

"It's nothing, just wondering when I'm going to direct a big production with hundreds of millions of dollars." Sofia? Coppola lowered his eyelids, obscuring the glittering light.

"There will be this day." Ryan casually comforted.

In the previous life, the success of "Lost in Translation" laid the foundation for Sophia? Coppola's status as a director, everyone thought she would become the first female director to win the Oscar for Best Director, but this honor fell to the truck driver's ex-wife.

"Hopefully you'll be the investor, Ryan."

Sofia? Coppola joked, looked at the time, and made a gesture of please, "The movie is about to start, let's go inside." ”

In addition to the dazzling stunts and the fame accumulated by Star Wars, in terms of the filming and editing of this movie, and the logic of the plot at the very least, George? Lucas's is indeed at the bottom of the four major directors, and the whole story is full of too many coincidences.

Although all movies are almost a collection of coincidences, if used without restrictions, it will make the movie not convincing enough.

Well, the logic, the story, the plot, the reasonableness, even including the Jedi's unreliable fights can be thrown aside, as long as the movie is Star Wars, as long as the special effects of Industrial Light and Magic are dazzling enough, it is enough for this completely commercial work.

George? Lucas's industrial light and magic has the most advanced film special effects technology in Hollywood, which is undoubtedly shown in "The Phantom Menace".

The main plot of the movie is Anakin? Skywalker appears, and meets Queen Amidala played by Natalie, and at the same time lays some groundwork for their subsequent love.

Anyway, in Ryan's opinion, there are many places where the plot could be improved, and Lucas had asked him for his opinion at the beginning, but Ryan remained silent, as he said at the time, this belongs to George? Lucas's work, if you don't want to have some unnecessary contradictions later, it's better to keep your mouth shut.

Kuigang? Kim died in battle, Obi? Vaughn avenges him, the True and False Queen messes with the Trade Alliance's sights, and peace is restored to the planet Naboo, Obi? Wang took young Anakin? Skywalker insisted on accepting him as a student, and the first movie came to an end.

Ryan believes that the wave of criticism will surely drown out the few accolades tomorrow. (To be continued......)
