In fact, Roland and Sofia Coppola have only met a few times, and the friendship between the two sides is not deep, not that he doesn't want to deal with this beautiful woman who is nine years older than him, but that he feels that he and the other party are not all the way at all.

Having a dad like Francis Coppola is the envy of many people!

Born on the streets of Rome in Hollywood, isn't it a disease that you are not satisfied and have to find your own value?

Because he took the worst newcomer and the worst supporting actress with Jin Sour Plum, he lost interest in Hollywood and acting, and went to Paris instead, and found a job as an assistant to Chanel's Lafayette?

Why don't you say that without Francis Coppola's father, 100% of the girls who apply for jobs start as handymen in the assistant office? Answering the phone for Galeries Lafayette at the beginning? Do you deserve to rub on the aura of others to accumulate connections?

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that it didn't take long for her to be bored on the phone, so she followed her mother's advice and went to the California Institute of the Arts to study painting, hoping to make a career in computer animation.

What is California Institute of the Arts?

One of the four major art academies in the world!

The acceptance rate is extremely low!

Not only that, but it's also Disney's turf!

Most of the guys who graduated from here went to Disney!

Teacher, who doesn't know that you are Francis Coppola's daughter?

As soon as you go to school, it's the teacher who licks you!

So, Sophia Coppola, who felt that her value could not be realized, quit again and chose to drop out of school.

Soon after, she began to learn photography and started her own clothing company.

Then, she finds herself courted by all the New York fashion guys trying to get in touch with her father by currying favor with her......

After many setbacks, Sofia Coppola decided to pick up the guide tube and inherit her father's business.

Of course, her original purpose was not to film for herself, but to defeat the other party in the area that her father was most proud of.

This series of ideas is as bizarre as Nicolas Cage, who doesn't want to rely on his uncle and just wants to work his own.

This series of ideas is a fight with Bryce Howard, who doesn't want to rely on his uncle and just wants to work his own.

Is it hypocritical?

Most of the time, the aura of your parents can save you a lot of detours, so that you don't have to fall into the trap of working hard to go to school, applying for student loans, working hard after graduation, and not paying off student loans, housing loans and other consumer loans until you are forty or fifty years old, and then, watching your children, continue to fall into the same capitalist scams, and then as long as you are not careful, your offspring will fall into the trap of happy learning, and thus it is the bloody routine of endless suffering and reincarnation!

Since you are born with more than ninety percent of people, in this case, you don't work hard to sprint to the last one percent on the platform built by your parents, and you have to realize your value across the industry?

It's really too young, too ideal......

Because of this, even when he had the opportunity, Roland rarely played with them.

What he likes is the kind of guy like George Lucas, who is self-aware, knows that his talent is limited to this, and decisively chooses to enjoy life when he can't climb the top anymore;

He likes Steven Spielberg's kind of guy who is not willing to be a chess piece at all, I want to be a chess player, and is willing to put it into practice;

He likes the kind of Ronald Perelman, even if he was born in the second generation, but I never felt that it was a shame to use my father's resources, but on the contrary, I played financial games more recklessly on the platform provided by my father;

He likes the kind of Bill Gates, who I didn't start because it could change the world, but because it could monopolize an industry, and all development was for the sake of monopoly......

Because they all have ambitions, realistic ambitions.

As a result, after Sofia Coppola came to talk to him and said that he wanted to be a director, the first reaction in Roland's head was how far he could hide.

However, when he thought that Francis Coppola was George Lucas's big brother after all, and after George Lucas had really given a lot of help to the other party in those years, Roland still couldn't help it.

Instinctively touched his pocket, and the empty touch made him even more helpless.

Get!

The smoke and fire to relieve her sorrow were all confiscated by Kate, and now she can only talk to each other dryly.

"Being a director? Not bad idea. ”

"Since you're here for George, it means you already have a goal?"

"Can you tell me about it?"

At the same time, Roland also began to rack his brain to recall what Sofia Coppola's first film really was.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he only recalled - "Lost in Translation".

No way, he doesn't have Wikipedia in his head, where do he remember so many things?

As for why you can afford "Lost in Translation"?

This needs no explanation.

At the same time that he was helpless, Sofia Coppola did not hide it, and said directly: "Of course you can." ”

"Do you know 'Death of a Virgin'? Published by Jeffrey Eugenides in 1993. ”

"Death of a Virgin"?

Oh! That's it!

Roland's mind conjured up a bunch of pretty girls.

The movie "Death of a Virgin", Roland has seen it, because it has the heroine of the old version of "Spider-Man" Kristen Dunst, the heroine of "Criminal Minds" JJ, the actor A.J. Cook, and the little girl Hannah Hall in "Forrest Gump......

Well, Roland has a showdown, Roland doesn't pretend.

Just like watching Sofia Coppola's "Under the Peony Flower", he went for the beautiful girl.

Otherwise, how could a guy like him, who has been in the industry for more than ten years and still retains what artists think of as low-level fun, enjoy those boring and boring feature films?

If it weren't for the actress's appearance, then he wouldn't even have the motivation to find resources!

As for the plot of "Death of a Virgin"?

It seems to be about the ignorance and helplessness of girls in the cardamom years, right?

In a family of seven, a couple raised five beautiful blonde girls.

One day, the youngest daughter of the family attempted suicide, and after treatment, the doctor felt that the girl's suicidal thoughts were related to the long-term lack of effective contact with the outside world, and that the mother of a devout religious believer exercised a conservative education.

So, the parents who realized their mistake wanted to help the little girl out of the predicament, and they took the initiative to help the little girl connect with other boys, but in the end, the little girl still chose to end her life.

At the same time, the eldest daughter of the family is also in a frequent relationship with a boy, she meets a playboy named Denip, and after having sex with the other party, she is abandoned by the other party the next day.

The parents who lost their younger daughter were terrified by the eldest daughter's failure to return at night, and the couple in the film were afraid that their daughter would go astray and choose to commit suicide like the younger daughter, so they chose the previous way of education and locked them up at home.

Not only that, but their methods have even intensified, not only not only not to let them go out, but even to prevent them from going to school, not only to control the children's behavior, but also to imprison their minds, which is better known as love and care.

And after that, the repressive family education collided with the sensitive psychology of adolescent girls, so that the remaining four little girls all chose to commit suicide, and the whole movie was mourned from beginning to end.

To put it mildly, the atmosphere created by Sofia Coppola is even more depressing than the award-winning "You Who Melt the Terrier".

However, compared to her own experience, it has a good impression.

Because she never wanted to live under her father's aura.

Only by experiencing it first-hand can we empathize.

"I know." Roland's eyes were empty, and he nodded with emotion, although he didn't like the self-struggle brain circuit of Coppola's family, but he actually admired the idea of these people who dared to fight, "You want to make this movie to tell your dad that you have grown up?" I think he'll be very pleased to accept that fact......"

"Hey, hey, hey ↘, I'm older than you, okay?"

Sofia Coppola didn't fall into sadness like Roland, but glared at the 'little brat' angrily, "You look exactly the same as the tone of George when he spoke to me. ”

"Seriously, you can't stay with Steven and the others for a long time, those guys are boring."

Okay......

I haven't disliked your hypocrisy, but you first expressed your dissatisfaction with my old-fashioned Hengqiu?

Roland rolled his eyes helplessly, but he didn't show mercy, "Oh, so you're older than me......"

"I ignored that."

"Kate never allowed me to talk about age in front of her, and if I did, she would think I was talking about her old, and then I would have to wrap myself in a blanket and nest on the sofa at night......"

"Hey...... How nice it would be if she didn't care about age like you? ”

"No, if she's like you, then she's not going to have a crush on me, she's going to have a crush on Keanu Reeves."

Before the words fell, a murderous aura suddenly rose.

Sofia Coppola turned her head hard, glared angrily, and wanted to hit someone in anger.

“Iwillliterallypayyoucashtostoptalking，okay？”

Born in seventy-one, she is now twenty-six years old, because she has been tossing in the past few years, the focus is on achieving nothing, so the family has long urged her to get married, in her mother's words, that is, to take advantage of her youth and give birth quickly.

If it weren't for the fact that her mother, who had always supported her, wanted her to stop a little, how could she have chosen "The Death of a Virgin", a story about a young girl's rebellion, as her directorial debut? And now, Roland said in front of her that Kate cares about her age very much, isn't that just a change of way to tell her - 'Big sister, it doesn't matter if I'm boring, anyway, no one is urging me to get married now, but you're twenty-six, and your dad and mom can't wait to let you marry Keanu Reeves right away!' ’

Isn't this special code responding to people?

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned!

As for Keanu Reeves......

That's right, Sofia Coppola is indeed in a relationship with Keanu Reeves right now.

It was Al Pacino who helped them match.

Of course, when it comes to Keanu Reeves, it naturally can't get around "The Matrix".

You can't get around the Jewish gang.

At the beginning of "The Matrix", the Wachowski brothers needed a budget of 80 million, Warner said it was no problem, but they wanted Will Smith to be guaranteed to star at the box office, Keanu Reeves was only in the second echelon, and then, Lawrence Fishburne of the Jewish gang took the lead in winning the role of Morpheus, and it is impossible for two black people to appear in a movie, so ......

Neo goes to Keanu Reeves.

The budget was also cut by 20 million.

It's a pity that it didn't take long for the two to break up.

It's a real shame.

"Okay, I'll shut up." Looking at the angry face, Roland stopped teasing the other party, and smiled to express his apology.

When filming "Captain Hook", in the face of Gwyneth Paltrow's low emotional intelligence words, Roland, who was not very powerful, chose to back down, and now, he won't get used to these guys.

If you lose me, then I will definitely have to double the loss.

It's like that chaotic relationship in a college dorm room—

"I'm your dad!"

"I'm your master!"

After glaring at Roland for a few seconds, Sophia Coppola, who wanted to say a few words to Rolando, stopped going around in circles and went straight to the point, saying: "Since you know "Death of a Virgin", you should know a lot about this project? ”

"Are you willing to invest?"

Ooh?

You came to me for a long time, just to attract investment?

Hearing Sofia Coppola ask this, Roland was immediately happy.

Because if he remembers correctly, these second generations actually got up by their own relationships.

Although he can't remember the behind-the-scenes information about "The Death of a Virgin", he can ask now!

"You want to make the movie "Death of a Virgin", but you can't find anyone to invest in it, so you came to George?"

"By the way, a cameo role in Star Wars?"

"Uh...... Pretty much. Sophia Coppola didn't want to ink with Roland, and said directly: "The filming copyright of "Death of a Virgin" has actually been bought by others, and I came to George in the hope that George can help me win this project." ”

"However, George told me that he would call my dad to discuss it......"

"So, after learning that you came to the crew, I came to you......"

Oh!

You want to enjoy power for a long time, but you don't want to take responsibility!

While repeatedly saying that Francis Coppola has brought too much resistance to his career, and at the same time going to Francis Coppola's little brother George Lucas for help?

You're really an ostrich!

Roland served.

"So you mean, let me vote for you?" Roland put his hands in his pockets, "Give me a reason." ”

Since he is here to invest, it is his home field.

Although Roland doesn't remember whether "Death of a Virgin" made money, it doesn't matter, just with the name Francis Coppola, he will vote for Sofia Coppola, but before that, he really wants to know what kind of confidence Sofia Coppola has and thinks that he will definitely vote for her.

If it's because of the relationship between Francis Coppola and Steven Spielberg, isn't it still rubbing the aura of his own dad? If there is such a disagreement, then Roland can vote for her, but he will never ignore her.

Death to save face and suffer sin, this kind of person is really boring.

If you use your father's resources, then use it.

Anyway, everyone shares resources, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

However, just as Roland pondered what words Sophia Coppola would use to convince herself, the girl's answer exceeded Roland's expectations, "You know that "Virgin Suicide" is about girls between the ages of thirteen and seventeen, right? ”

"Of course, is there any problem?" Roland blinked, puzzled, "Don't you tell me that you want to ask Sister Olsen to play, right?" If that's the case, then I won't vote for you. ”

"They won't make award films, not before, not now, and not in the future."

Since winning awards is also about making money, why not make money directly?

The Olsen sisters' national realm is there, and they don't need to take the road of saving the country at all.

"Well, I didn't really think about inviting them to shoot." Seeing that Roland was not interested in the award, Sofia Coppola decisively gave up this argument and instead proposed a guy who was remembered by Roland a few minutes ago.

"But I want to ask a contracted model under the name of Double Star Group to shoot."

What？

Roland was a little stunned.

Double Star Group?

Isn't that the group of companies that David Olsen created for the Olsen sisters?

Signed model under your name?

Shuangxing Group doesn't have any signed models at all!

Men's clothing has always been photographed by him, children's clothing has always been photographed by Elizabeth, and the main trendy clothing has always been re-photographed by Ashley and Mary, at most, that is, adding a ......

Hold the grass ......

Well, Roland remembered.

When he first heard Sofia Coppola's words, Roland's eyes flashed with confusion, but when he reacted, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Scarlett Johansson? ”

"yes......" Sofia Coppola also smiled after seeing the corners of Roland's curled mouth.

That appearance has the pride of winning back a city in the negotiation and confrontation, and the satisfaction of attacking it unprepared.

"I heard, you seem to ......?"

Halfway through the words, Sofia Coppola changed the topic and said: "As far as I know, Scarlett has just finished filming "Home Alone 3", this is your famous series......

"And after that, she's going to make 'The Horse Whisperer,' directed by Robert Redford......

"According to my calculations, if you decide to invest, then after she finishes filming "The Horse Whisperer", she can enter the crew of "Virgin Suicide", and I arranged for her to be the protagonist......"

"You should know better than me that it is actually very difficult for child stars to find a book, not everyone can be like you, you can receive James Cameron's "Terminator 2" immediately after filming "Home Alone", no one can make Steven Spielberg change the book of "Jurassic Park" after "Home Alone 2" exploded, and no one can let James Cameron write a customized "Spider-Man" project after "Forrest Gump" ......"

"The project "Virgin Suicide" is very rare......"

The seductive words made Roland smile.

In fact, as early as after George Lucas's fiftieth birthday party, Francis Coppola's big mouth had already shaken the things at the birthday party to his family, in the words of the big fat man with all kinds of poisons, Roland was a fellow believer, and after that, Roland's decision at the premiere of "The Seven Deadly Sins" also made Sophia Coppola, who had heard about it, believe her father's words, and she didn't think there was anything wrong......

You know, when she was twelve years old, the male god in her heart was still Prince Nelson!

That's right, the same prince with sixteen platinum albums and the founder of the 'Minneapolis Sound'.

At that time, Francis Coppola was coaxing his daughter to become an actor, and after finding out that his daughter liked Prince Nepson, he took her to the filming location of "PurpleRain", after seeing the male god perform in front of the camera......

Sofia Coppola was tricked by her dad into making a bunch of movies.

She could like Prince Nelson back then, so why can't Roland like Scarlett Johansson?

It is precisely because of this that after learning that Roland came to the "Star Wars" crew, she wanted to use this as a breakthrough to attract investment from Roland...... Anyway, she just doesn't want to use her father's money!

As for what kind of feelings Roland has for Scarlett, and what is the matter between him and Kate?

Sofia Coppola doesn't know this, but she's sure she'll figure it out later.

But for Roland......

Sofia Coppola's proposal really helped him solve a big problem.

"Okay, you can throw the information directly to Warcraft Film and Television, and I'll take the copyright for you."

The clean and neat answer made Sofia Coppola, who already felt that she had a chance to win, very excited, "Shit! Do you really like her? ”

"I used to like it." Roland smiled without hesitation.

“Wow！ Then I'll have to tell her about it! Sofia Coppola's eyes widened in the affirmative.

However, in the next second, Roland emphasized again, "What I said was that I once liked it." ”

“What？” Sure that Roland's words didn't seem to be fake, Sofia Coppola also frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"That's what it means literally...... Ever loved ......"

Roland, who had his hands in his pockets, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think Scarlett is beautiful, so I liked her." ”

"But, I don't like it now, it's as simple as that."

"I've been struggling with how to get her out of Double Star, but I haven't been able to find a good way."

"Well, now you've got a good idea for me."

"When she officially filmed and got on the right track, she didn't need the job of Double Star Group."

"Naturally, I left ......"

Now that Sofia Coppola knows the inside story, Roland doesn't hide it.

But even if he said it clearly, the other party was confused.

She couldn't understand the meaning of Roland's words, but Roland, of course, knew what he was doing......

In his previous life, there were many female stars he liked, and it was difficult to mention them in the mainland, but Hollywood......

He even likes Stallone's three daughters!

But is that like? That's just gluttony.

Although he kept saying that more than ten or twenty years have passed, there are many people who like it, and his favorite has always been those two, but ...... That's also Scarlett's face is more durable than other European and American stars, Elizabeth is indeed beautiful......

Roland never denied his superficiality.

And if Roland in his previous life already knew that his so-called bullshit liking was to be greedy for other people's bodies, then in this life, he even understood what kind of body he was gluttonous......

In his previous life, he also liked Kate, but after "Titanic", he would not deliberately chase each other's movies.

What he liked was Ruth who looked up under the revolving escalator in first class.

In his previous life, he liked Famick Jensen, and in this life, he also went to the theater to see "GoldenEye".

But he's not going to make up all of Aunt Jensen's movies.

What he likes is the girl who can clip her lover to death with her thighs, and then, there will be one more phoenix girl.

To put it mildly, even if Roland knows which is a and which is a, and his mouth diss non-stop, but if he really puts it in front of him, he ...... still has feelings, just like Anne Hathaway, it doesn't matter if she is a White Lotus or not, but if she really puts on a catwoman uniform and goes to Batman's motorcycle, if Roland says that he has no idea, then he is not a man.

He wanted to rush over and ride with him.

To put it bluntly, like those who like stars because of their star halo, what impresses Roland is actually the dodge style of those female stars at a certain moment.

This has been proven in Kate's case.

When she incarnated as Ruth, Roland, who had no feelings for Kate in her previous life, still liked it.

And in this case, it no longer makes sense for him to stare at Scarlett Johansson.

Does he like Scarlett Johansson?

Nope-

He just liked the handsome Black Widow.

In that case, it can only be SayGoodbye.

The reason, I've already told Kate.

He couldn't accept it, and his girlfriend went out to film.

A little, not enough.

But if you don't film, where will there be a black widow?

Without Scarlett's star halo, it wouldn't be Scarlett......

As for Kate......

Her star aura has now merged with Roland......

Now that the peak has arrived, Roland will accept it unceremoniously.

Because of this, knowing in his heart that there is a beauty on the side, Roland readily agreed to invest in "Virgin Suicide".

And when he left the "Star Wars" crew without anything and returned to the hotel, looking at the red-faced guy, Kate, who was packing up his things and preparing to go home, asked curiously, "Seeing you smiling so happily, it seems that you had a good conversation?" ”

"Yes, it was a pleasant conversation, but what made me even happier was that I turned down a girl."

Roland folded his hands, leaned on the back of the sofa, and looked at Kate who was folding clothes with a smile.

"Rejected a girl? Someone chasing you? Kate, who was squatting there, brushed her hair with her hand and asked curiously, "Who?" ”

"Are you pretty?" Bulingbuling's big eyes reveal curiosity.

"I used to want to chase people." Roland said bluntly: "But I gave up for you." ”

"You want to chase someone?" Kate frowned.

"For my refusal?" The brows are stretched, and the corners of the mouth are slightly hooked.

"Then I'm going to have to reward you?" Kate put the folded clothes in the suitcase, got up, walked up to Roland, and pecked him on the lips before asking, "Scarlett?" ”

"You know?" This time it was Roland's turn to be surprised.

"Of course, David told me before that Scarlett was the first and only one you named to receive from the company."

Okay......

Roland smiled wryly and nodded.

It seems that he is the only one in the world who thinks that others don't know that he might like Scarlett.

"But I've given up on ...... now"

"I know......"

"Wait, why are you so calm? Shouldn't you be surprised? ”

"Why should I be surprised? Because you gave up someone else for me? No kidding, okay? When you told me that you couldn't accept me filming with other members of the opposite sex, didn't you think that you shouldn't solve your own affairs while making demands on me? Kate raised her hand and patted Roland's chest, and asked angrily, "Do you think that if I don't say it, I am acquiescing?" Don't feel good about yourself, okay? I just think you're going to take care of it, now ......."

At this point, Kate, who should have been right, pouted and whispered, "Good job......"

Kate gave a thumbs up and shook it in front of Roland.

In such a situation, Roland looked helpless.

Oops! This woman is really difficult!

Bear two faces under one hood!

It's not okay to be happy in my heart, but I don't say it!

Just when Roland was secretly complaining, after seeing the contempt flashing on Roland's face, Kate instantly pulled up her face, raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Do you have an opinion?" If you have an opinion, you can hold back ......"

"Go take care of things, if it weren't for the Star Wars crew, I'd be home today......"

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of it, can't I take care of it?" Roland raised his hand in surrender.

Looking at the depressed back, Kate, who seized Roland's position, bit her lips, chuckled lightly, and kicked off the sofa with her toes, "You can't be negative when you do things, I folded it, if you mess up, hum ......"
