It took about twenty minutes for her to find the location of the studio, puff the door and walk in.

Looking at the very young girl opposite, Ryan's eyes showed a hint of strangeness, Sofia Coppola, a name that he was very familiar with.

His father is the famous Francis Ford Coppola, who once directed the film "The Godfather", and his cousin is Hollywood star Nicolas Cage.

The most important point is that Sofia Coppola was born in the Coppola family and has a certain influence in the American art and film circles, especially in academic circles.

Every year at the Oscar feast, the Coppola family is one of the key public relations targets of major film companies.

"Hello Miss Sophia, I didn't expect you to apply!"

Seriously, Ryan never expected that the person introduced by Helen would be Sofia Coppola, a rich lady from an acting family.

Let's put it this way, even if Ryan has countless classic cases in his previous life, if he hadn't met Helen, he would still have a hard time.

But Sofia Coppola in front of her is completely different, she participated in the filming of "The Godfather" when she was a baby, and she participated in the movie "Betta" when she was just ten years old.

When Sophia was 18 years old and was graduating from high school, her father arranged a role for her in the movie "Godfather 3", and finally won two awards that made her angry, and decided not to appear in any films again.

Ryan is not mistaken, according to the course of his previous life, Sophia Coppola in front of him will co-founded a clothing company called Milkfield in the near future.

Next, she returned to Hollywood again to direct her first film "Winged Angel", becoming one of the few female directors in Hollywood, and Scarlett Johansson's famous work "Lost in Translation" was directed by Sofia Coppola.

The film, which cost only $4 million in 27 days, won the Best Original Screenplay Award at the 76th Academy Awards.

It also makes her the third female director nominated for an Oscar for Best Director and the first American female director.

A proper winner in life.

Sophia Coppola didn't care about Ryan's surprised eyes, shook Ryan's hand, and then asked with some curiosity, "Ryan Gosling?"

"The founder of the script of "Blair the Witch", and the sole investor, director and editor of the film!"

"Oh, and that amazing propaganda program. ”

Compared to Ryan's surprise at her arrival, Sofia Coppola was full of curiosity.

"If you're talking about 'Blair the Witch' in the media or in the public mouth, I'd say you're miscognizing. ”

Ryan took a closer look at her, with short blond hair, a beautiful face, and a very slender figure, and continued, "Of course, if you're referring to a pseudo-documentary 'Blair the Witch'. ”

"Then you're talking about me. ”

Sofia Coppola was slightly stunned, then showed a hint of appreciation, and said secretly, as Helen said, he is a very smart guy.

"Alright then, Mr. Ryan Gosling, re-introduction, my name is Sophia Coppola, you can call me Sophia, it was Helen who introduced me to apply for your assistant position. ”

Seeing this, Ryan immediately got to the point and said, "My studio is preparing a new film shooting plan, so the requirements for assistants are a bit high, and I need to be familiar with the various operations of the crew. ”

"But, Miss Sophia, may I ask a personal question first. ”

"Just call me Sophia. Sofia Coppola corrected his salutation and agreed, "Of course." ”

"As a wealthy family, why did you come to apply for my assistant, it's because of Helen!" Ryan wondered about this, even if he was a friend of Helen's.

Sophia Coppola frowned slightly, and said, "Then Mr. Ryan, I also want to ask if everyone who comes to apply for the job must first find out her family history!"

"And I can tell you clearly that the reason why I came to Los Angeles is really related to Helen, and at the same time, I want to find something to do to enrich myself. ”

"I wonder if my answer is satisfactory!"

Although she did not dislike her family background, she did not like such questions, as if everything she did could not do without the surname Coppola.

"I'm sorry for what I just said. ”

Ryan apologized, shifted the topic to business, and said, "Next, I would like to explain first that the studio has just been established, so the assistant position needs to be a part-time crew coordinator in addition to its own work. ”

To put it bluntly, he wears many hats, and he needs to prepare for the crew, rent equipment, props, etc., and make cameo appearances and extras during the filming, and only have a salary.

"Of course, for people who are familiar with the operation of the crew, these are not very difficult. ”

If you were someone else from a wealthy family, I am afraid that you would refuse it outright, and you don't even need to think about it.

But Sofia Coppola is different, she grew up as the crew leader, and she has a clear idea of the preparation for the operation of the crew.

At the same time, almost all of the people she usually contacts are Hollywood practitioners, so the work in front of her is not difficult for her.

What's more, she has just dropped out of school and needs to find a suitable job.

"No problem. ”

Sofia Coppola agreed and said, "Of course, I also have a request, during the filming of the crew, I will also serve as your assistant director." ”

Assistant Director!

Ryan subconsciously glanced at her, could it be that at this time she had the idea of becoming a director!

"I can promise you. ”

An assistant director who doesn't want a salary, a fool will refuse.

Besides, Sophia Coppola in front of her was born in the Coppola family, which can play an unexpected role in the preparation and filming of the crew.

Next, Sofia Coppola's first job was to go to Star Agency to select actors.

"Chainsaw" is different from "Blair the Witch", the requirements for actors are much higher, but the star agency has just been established, and it is almost impossible to select all the suitable actors from them.

Ryan naturally won't lower his requirements because of this, so some of the actors can only audition from the actor Gonggong.

Helen also knows this.

Therefore, in this matter, Ryan is not suitable to come forward in person.

At the same time, the box office of "Blair the Witch" is getting higher and higher, and the accompanying doubts are also getting louder.

In desperation, Twentieth Century Fox could only inform Helen to bring back several of the leading actors in the film, giving the media and the angry public an outlet to vent.

On the night of the return of the leading actors, the three leading actors, including Jerkassie Chastain, who is the heroine of the film, came to Fox TV to participate in a talk show.

During the whole process, the two male protagonists talked about it, treating the planning case itself as a classic case worth showing off, and keeping silent about the director, producer, investor, and distributor.

It's as if the whole thing is led by them.

Jessica Chastain, as the leading actress of a box office of more than 100 million US dollars, is a little taciturn, and as soon as she returns to Los Angeles, she finds some inappropriateness from the clues.

Perhaps she, the leading actress who has just grossed more than 100 million US dollars in North America, and even the leading actress who will have an overseas box office of more than 100 million US dollars, will be completely disgusted by the North American public and have to leave Hollywood and end her acting career early.

It wasn't until the talk show ended and they returned to the hotel that the three of them were allowed access to television, newspapers, and magazines by Helen.

In the face of the overwhelming scolding, the original joy of the three disappeared, and their faces turned pale.

"Damn, we've been fooled, and there's no mention of investors, directors, or distribution companies in the media. ”

"Okay, take it easy, maybe it's going to be a good thing, at least we're famous. ”

"You know what, we are a bunch of wretched wretched, wretched wretched by countless publics, and sooner or later blacklisted by all Hollywood studios. ”

"No, you can't just leave it at that. ”

He was furious in his heart, and immediately got up and walked outside, he had to explain this matter to the media, they were just acting for the dead ghosts, the director of the film, Ryan, and Twentieth Century Fox were the masterminds, and they planned everything.

"I advise you to calm down first. ”

Jessica Chastain took a deep breath, barely regained some of her senses, and said, "Remember!"

"Before the filming, Helen approached us to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and if you go out and tell the media that this matter has nothing to do with us, then you will face millions of dollars in liquidated damages. ”

"Besides, the film is distributed by Twentieth Century Fox and has the backing of News Corp., and the media will not only not believe what you say, but will only make people feel like a quibble. ”

Even if she was unwilling, she still knew very well that this matter had become a foregone conclusion and could not be changed at all.

"Helen!"

"She must have known that things were going to turn out the way they were, and she had to ask her about it. He gritted his teeth with a look of rage, and he wanted to kill Helen's bitch.

"If I were you, you would wait for Helen to talk, not to go past in anger. ”

"In any case, the films we starred in are big hits, with a box office of over 100 million in North America and a box office in overseas markets that are about to exceed 100 million, which still has a certain value for Star Agency. "Jekassie Chastain knows full well that this is the only value they have left.

In fact, it's so cruel.

This is the real Hollywood.
