San Francisco's Napa Valley, the Coppola family's vineyard, the morning sun shines, rows of grape trellises are lined with verdant grape seedlings, and the vigorous smell of spring is coming.

In the courtyard of the main house, an old man, a young girl, grandfather and grandson are sitting at a casual wooden table, sipping wine and chatting.

"Grandpa, just say it, I want to hear the truth. ”

"The truth is also very well filmed, it's great to have that kind of scene scheduling at your age. Gia, keep up the good work, and in ten years you will be a qualified film director. ”

Francis Ford Coppola leaned back in a rattan chair, looking at the vast green fields in front of her, sipping a bright red homemade wine, and her old face was full of comfort.

At this time, he said and looked at his granddaughter next to him, his eyes were relieved, Gia's father Gian-Carlo died at the age of 22 when she was a two-month-old baby in her mother's womb because of a speedboat accident during the filming of "Betta", and this posthumous daughter was raised by him, a granddaughter and a daughter.

(Gia's full name is gian-net-car1o, and her middle name is the Italian word for female and male.) ）

Thinking of his son, Coppola felt a wave of sadness in his heart, if Gian Carlo hadn't died, he would have been a famous director by now, he was so talented.

And his beloved daughter Sophia finally did not disappoint him anymore, with "Lost in Translation" finally fought for the family to breathe a sigh of relief, at the age of 32, she won this year's Golden Globe Award for Best Film Screenwriter, and was shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, tomorrow night is the 76th Academy Awards, and they will go to Los Angeles today to prepare to participate.

"Your talent is not inferior to your Aunt Sophia, you have your father...... of talent. ”

"I'm a master. The girl's gaze did not fluctuate when she heard her father, and she only took a sip of wine.

She was dressed in an Annie-Hall dress, with a director's viewfinder around her neck, the corners of her mouth curled, and her delicate eyebrows raised, and she continued: "Aunt Sophia made her first feature film at the age of 28, so I will shoot it at the age of 26, and if she is nominated for an Oscar at the age of 32, then I will get it at the age of 3o." ”

"Jiya, there is still so much to learn, and in this world, there are many people who are more talented than you, and there are more people who work harder than you, don't be complacent. ”

Coppola was earnestly taught, and suddenly remembered an anecdote that his old friend Lucas had recently said, and suddenly said: "I heard Lucas say that there is a movie genius Asian teenager in Los Angeles, and he made a 1o minute digital short film that Spielberg praised, saying that it has reached a professional level, and it is ......."

The girl was already stunned, and her hand carrying the wine glass stopped in mid-air, "And what?"

And Spielberg is interested in investing in him to make feature films, in fact, Tom Hanks preemptively invested in him, I heard that it was a 5oo budget. Coppola smiled incredulously, "I asked Lucas if he was joking, and he said no. Gia, it sounds like that young man, much more talented and hard-working than you, he's a year younger than you. ”

"Liar, right?!" The girl's expression changed again and again, and the pride just now disappeared, "Is it grandpa, you are me to educate me?"

Isn't it a full decade ahead of her goal to make a feature film at the age of 16?!

"It's not. ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, and gradually, her eyes narrowed, "What's his name?"

"It seems to be Ye Wei. ”

"Ye Wei ......" The girl muttered again, raised her head and took a big sip of wine, muttering: "Interesting, Ye Wei, interesting...... Boy, Master Gia is staring at you. ”

"How can I see his short film?

......

"Are we just going to watch things happen? Tonight, that kid's short film was on Nickelodeon, and we know the quality of that short film!

"Otherwise, he now has the admiration of big names like Hanks and Spielberg, and he is proud now. ”

"Don't do this with me, I know you, Lovett, you're not going to do nothing. ”

"Hehehehe, Arnold, you know me well...... That kid is really hard to do now, but he has a fatal wound, he's an Asian! If he's obedient, he'll have a few more days to toss, but he's the kind of self-righteous idiot, and it doesn't take much for his gust of wind to pass. ”

"Can you tell us about your plans?"

"In this industry, you're either a tiger or a lamb. I'm not a big man, but I have a little bit of power...... As long as it's done beautifully, they don't even know why...... Moreover, no matter what Brian's idea is, it is not a good idea to push Ye Wei out during the Oscars. ”

"Your plan is good, what if they show up?"

"They have no way at all, all they can do is sigh, do they want the entire entertainment industry to stop and show Ye Wei the limelight? Maybe that kid bleached himself, we just wasted our efforts, and Asian boys are popular all over the United States? This kind of thing won't be born, hehe. ”

"I don't feel like in a few years, your status at CAA is not comparable to Brian's. ”

"Brian's gang has been righteous strikers for so long, and they can't get along with me for the sake of a kid, and they brought this lesson on their own. ”

......

"Hahaha, hello, Hollywood beauty!"

Paradise, Utah, has a nice name, but it is actually a poor and backward place, with a population of only 1,000, a large number of people whose annual income is below the poverty line, and every household lives on animal husbandry and agriculture.

On a country road, a group of young men and women were laughing at a passing girl, who was plainly dressed without any ornaments, with her head bowed and her face full of silence.

"Modi, why don't you tell us about your dreams? to be a movie actor? haha!"

"Sign me, you'll be a big star in the future, I'll be there then, sign it for me!"

"Bitch!" Suddenly, a tall girl rushed up viciously and shoved the girl, and the girl fell down the dirt road, causing everyone to laugh with joy.

The girl was still silent, stood up and patted the dust off her body, and continued to walk towards her own small farm in front of her, her expression did not change, only her eyes flickered a few times.

The young people still chased her for fun and laughed, grimacing and scolding: "You fool!", "Are you dumb, talk!", "This guy is so boring, it's not fun to bully her!", "I don't squeak when I suspect her sexuality-**." "Hahaha!"

"Speak, or you won't want to go anywhere!" the crowd blocked the way, preventing her from passing.

The girl walked around with her head down, but she was stopped for a while, and then she suddenly said, "Can you get out of the way, I still have to ...... Drive my cows back to the pen......"

"Please, please!", "Say you're a whoop!"

Suddenly, the girl spotted a gap and rushed towards the herd of cattle in the distance of the farm.

"Run, Forrest Gump, Run!", "Hahaha! Movie Actor, You're Rotten!", "Modi, you kind of garbage, you don't deserve any bloody dreams!"

......

Bullying in and out of school is most prevalent in public schools in the United States, but private schools are not immune, and Asian American students are the hardest hit areas, and the same incident is happening every day in different parts of the United States. Abusive, ridiculed, tricky...... Or even beatings.

Students who are bullied will swallow their anger, feel inferior, and be distressed...... and suicide, or creating another school shooting.

Hammond Middle School, Columbia City, South Carolina.

"Zhou, go back to your China!", "How can Asians be so ugly, Kelsey Chow, your English mother is disgusting, she actually married your Chinese father!", "Bastard!"

On the campus road, a small group of students laughed and scolded a Chinese-American mixed-race girl with a peugeot-looking appearance, she was so angry that her face was flushed, and she was about to hurry over with anger. Some of the students passing by were smiling, some were indifferent, and some were still happy to watch the excitement.

"Instead of thinking about being an actor, you might as well think about opening a restaurant, mr. Cho, haha!"

"No Asian can be a star, no!", "Jackie Chen, Jackie Chen, Jackie Chow-"

"Hahaha! Dig a tunnel and go back to China! This is not your land!"

"It's not yours, I'm at least Cherokee blood!" The girl finally couldn't help it, glared at the people around her, and fought back loudly: "You are wrong, you are wrong! I know you are wrong!"

However, her explosion made everyone burst into laughter, "You still have Indian blood?", "No wonder you are so a failure, you loser!"

"You are wrong, you are wrong......"

"What's wrong?Asian star?Then why don't you say one, say an Asian idol, is there!?Asians can't be idols, can't be stars!", "Wait guys, Yao Ming?", "No, that big guy is not a human at all, he has gigantism." ”

The girl wanted to say something but couldn't say it, tears gradually welled up in her eyes, and in the midst of their laughter, she kept choking up and saying, "You are wrong......

Her Chinese ancestry is not what they say it is...... It's not that Asians can't be celebrity idols, it's just that they haven't appeared yet, there will be people, there will be......

......

At dinner time, Spielberg's dining room was surrounded by a large family around the dining table, Spielberg, his wife Kate Capshaw, 16-year-old adopted son Theo, 13-year-old daughter Sasha, 12-year-old son Sawyer, 7-year-old adopted daughter Mikara, and 7-year-old son Dastry.

At its most lively, there will also be 27-year-old stepdaughter Jessica Capshaw, and 19-year-old Max (born to ex-wife Amy Irving), seven children.

The family's dinner has a rain or shine fixture, the "Storytelling at the Table," in which Spielberg tells the beginning of a story, then the children relay to create its plot, and Spielberg does the ending half an hour later.

Sometimes, the ending of the story will make the children laugh, and sometimes it will make them cry.

This tradition not only inspires great directors, but also cultivates children's creative thinking.

"Today's story begins with a 16-year-old boy who loves movies, trying to make a feature film, he needs to be a star first, and this night, he finally gets a good opportunity, his short film will be shown on TV, will he succeed?"

"Dad, is this the story of your youth?" Sasha immediately laughed, "I remember you made your first feature film when you were 16 years old!"

She didn't expect her father to shake her head and say, "No, it's a story of an Asian boy, his name is Ye Wei, he is very talented, this is a real story." ”

"I'll come first!" Theo seemed a little unhappy, with a teasing look on his face, "The short film is about to be played, Ye Wei is looking forward to it, but suddenly, the TV station canceled it!"

"Oh...... He was sad. Mikara was immediately sympathetic. Sasha rolled her eyes and circled the story back again: "It turned out that the TV station made a mistake, the broadcast continued, the audience liked it, and he was also known by everyone." ”

"A monster! attacked the TV station, and it robbed Ye Wei!"

Because, Ye Wei's short film is very popular with the king of the monster kingdom, and the king decided to invite him to be a guest. Mikara also spoke.

"The king will marry the monster princess to him, or he will kill him. Sawyer's tone was vicious.

Sasha said: "But Ye Wei escaped with his own ingenuity! He returned to Los Angeles, and people were excited about his return, he was like a hero!"

"Sasha, why are you helping him?" Theo folded his hands helplessly. Sasha snorted, "Because I want him to win!" At 16, I want this story to win!"

Spielberg looked at it with a smile and Kate Capshaw was also very cheerful, and it seemed that today was another very controversial story.

In half an hour, Ye Wei was sometimes captured by aliens, sometimes almost killed, sometimes to the bottom of the sea, and sometimes received by the president......

Finally, when it was time for the head of the family to make the ending, the children's eyes were all looking at their father, but he smiled and said: "I don't know the ending today, because this is a true story, the short film of the genius boy Ye Wei, will be broadcast on Nickelodeon tonight, we will see the results in the future, and I also hope he wins." ”

"Really?" Sasha's face was full of curiosity, genius, and it was rare for a father to praise a person like that!
