Chapter 226: SayGoodbye

Chapter 226 SayGoodbye

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

With a father like Francis Coppola, how many people envy this start!

Born on the Roman street in Hollywood, this is not enough, and you have to find your own value. Isn’t this sick?

Because he won the worst newcomer and worst female supporting role of Razzie, 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 the father of Francis Coppola, 100% of the girls who apply for jobs start as handymen in the assistant office? Help Lafayette answer the phone from the beginning? Are you worthy of accumulating contacts based on other people's aura?

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that not long after, she felt bored answering the phone, so she followed her mother’s advice and went to CalArts to study painting, hoping to gain some ground in computer animation.

What is CalArts?

One of the world's four major art academies!

The acceptance rate is extremely low!

Not only that, it's Disney territory!

Guys who graduate from here basically go to Disney!

Who doesn't know that you are Francis Coppola's daughter?

As soon as you go to school, the teacher licks you!

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

Immediately afterwards, she, who likes to play with the camera, began to learn photography and started her own clothing company.

Then, she finds out that the attention she's getting is nothing more than guys in New York fashion trying to please her to hook up with her father...

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

Of course, her original goal was not to film for herself, but to defeat her father in the field that her father was most proud of.

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

This series of ideas is comparable to that of Bryce Howard, who doesn't want to rely on his father and uncle, but only wants to work **** his own.

Are you hypocritical?

Most of the time, the halo of your parents can save you a lot of detours, so that you don't have to fall into studying hard, applying for student loans, working hard after graduation, not paying student loans and housing loans until the age of 40 or 50, and other things. Pay off your consumer loans, and then watch your children continue to fall into the same scam of capitalists, and then as long as you are not careful, your offspring will fall into the trap of happy learning, which is another endless cycle of suffering Goofy routine!

Since you were born more than 90% of the 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 industries?

This is really too young, too ideal...

Because of this, Roland rarely played with them even if he had the chance.

What he likes is George Lucas, the kind of guy who has self-knowledge, knows that his talent is limited to this, and decisively chooses to enjoy life when he can no longer climb the peak;

What he likes is Steven Spielberg, who is not willing to be a chess piece at all, but I want to be a chess player, and he is willing to put it into practice;

What he likes is Ronald Perelman. Even if he was born in the second generation, I never feel that it is a shame to use the resources of my parents. Instead, I play financially more recklessly on the platform provided by my parents. game guy

He likes the kind of Bill Gates. I started a company not because it can change the world, but because it can monopolize an industry, and all development is considered for monopoly...

Because they all have ambitions, realistic ambitions.

In this way, after Sofia Coppola came to strike up a conversation and expressed his idea of wanting to be a director, the first reaction in Roland's head was how far he could hide.

However, thinking that Francis Coppola is George Lucas's big brother after all, and that this big brother really helped George Lucas a lot during those years when he was doing nothing, Roland still couldn't bear it. Living.

Instinctively touched his lower pocket, the empty feeling made him even more helpless.

have to!

Kate confiscated all the smoke and fire to relieve her worries, and now she can only chat with the other party.

"Being a director? Not a bad idea."

"Since you came to find George, does that mean you already have a goal?"

"Can you tell me about it?"

Inquiring At the same time, Roland also began to rack his brains to recall what Sofia Coppola's first movie was.

After thinking about it for a long time, he only remembered - "Lost in Translation".

No way, he doesn’t have Wikipedia in his mind, how can he remember so many things?

As for why you think of "Lost in Translation"?

This needs no explanation.

While he was helpless, Sofia Coppola didn't mean to hide it, and said directly: "Of course."

"Did you know The Virgin Dies? A novel by Jeffrey Eugenides published in 1993."

"Death of a Virgin"?

oh! It turned out to be it!

A bunch of beautiful girls appeared in Roland's mind.

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

Well, Roland has a showdown, and Roland stopped pretending.

It’s the same as watching Sofia Coppola’s "Under the Peonies", he went for the beautiful girls.

Otherwise, how can a guy like him, who has been in the industry for more than ten years and still retains what artists think of as vulgar tastes, appreciate those boring and boring dramas?

If it wasn't for the actress's good looks, then he wouldn't even have the motivation to find resources!

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

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

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

One day, the youngest daughter of the family attempted suicide. After treatment, the doctor felt that the girl’s suicidal thoughts were related to her lack of effective communication with the outside world for a long time.

So, the parents who realized their mistakes wanted to help the little girl out of the predicament. They took the initiative to help the little girl match up 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 frequently dating a boy. She met a **** named Tripp, and after having a relationship with him, she was abandoned by him the next day.

The elder daughter's absence at night terrified the parents who lost their younger daughter. The couple in the movie feared that their daughter would go astray and choose to commit suicide just like the younger daughter, so they chose the previous education method and locked them in home.

Not only that, but their methods have even intensified. Not only are they not allowed to go out, they are not even allowed to go to school.

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

To put it bluntly, the atmosphere created by Sofia Coppola is even more depressing than the award-winning "Intense You".

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

Because she never wanted to live under the halo of her father.

Only by personal experience can you empathize.

"I know." Roland opened his eyes and nodded emotionally. Although he didn't like the self-struggle brain circuit of the Coppola family, he actually admired the daring thinking of these people, "Do you think The purpose of making this movie is to tell your dad that he has grown up? I think he will be very pleased to accept this fact..."

"Hey hey (↘), am I older than you?"

Sofia Coppola did not fall into sadness like Roland did, but instead glared at 'Little Kid' angrily, "Your look is exactly the same as George's tone when he talked to me."

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

Okay...

I haven't disliked you for being hypocritical yet, but you first express your dissatisfaction with my old-fashionedness?

Roland rolled his eyes helplessly, but he said mercilessly, "Oh, so you are older than me..."

"I've overlooked this point."

"Kate never allowed me to mention age in front of her. If I did, she would think I was saying she was old, and then I could only wrap myself in a blanket and nestle on the sofa at night..."

"Hey... You said how good it would be if she didn't care about her age like you?"

"No, if she is like you, then she will not fall in love with me, but will fall in love with Keanu Reeves."

Before the words fell, a murderous aura rose suddenly.

Sofia Coppola turned her head vigorously, glared, and was so angry that she wanted to hit someone.

"I will literally pay you cash to stop talking, okay?"

She was born in 1971, and now she is 26 years old. Because she has been tossing around in the past few years, the focus is on accomplishing nothing, so her family has already urged her to get married. In her mother's words, that is to take advantage of her youth. Give birth soon.

If it wasn’t for her mother who has always supported her and wanted her to calm down a bit, how could she have chosen “Death of a Virgin”, a novel about teenage resistance, as her directorial debut? But now, Roland said in front of her that Kate cared a lot about her age, wouldn't that just tell her in a different way-'Sister, it doesn't matter that I'm boring, anyway, no one is urging me to get married now, but you are already twenty-six, Your dad and your mom can't wait to marry you to Keanu Reeves right away! '

Isn’t this special one trying to scare people?

Which pot is not open and which pot to lift!

As for Keanu Reeves…

Yes, Sofia Coppola is indeed dating Keanu Reeves now.

It was Al Pacino who helped them match up.

Of course, when it comes to Keanu Reeves, it's natural not to 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's guaranteed performance at the box office, and Keanu Reeves was only in the second echelon. Then what? However, Lawrence Fishburne of the Jewish gang took the lead in taking the role of Murphys. It is impossible for two black people to appear in a movie, so...

Neo will belong to Keanu Reeves.

The budget was also cut by 20 million.

Unfortunately, not long after, the two broke up.

This is really a pity.

"Okay, I'll shut up." Looking at the angry face, Roland stopped teasing the other party and expressed his apology with a smile.

When filming "Captain Hook", facing Gwyneth Paltrow's low EQ words, Roland, who was not very powerful, chose to back down, but now, he will not be used to these guys.

If you hurt me once, then I will definitely have to double the damage.

Like that messy relationship in a college dorm room—

"I am your father!"

"I am your father!"

After staring at Roland for a few seconds, Sofia Coppola, who wanted to have a few words with Roland, stopped going around and went straight to the point, saying: "Since you know "Death of a Virgin", So you should know a lot about this project?"

"Are you willing to invest?"

Huh?

After a long time, you came to me just to attract investment?

Hearing Sofia Coppola's question, Roland immediately became happy.

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

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

"You want to make the movie "The Virgin Dies", but you can't find anyone to invest in, so you came to find George?"

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

"Uh... almost." Sofia Coppola didn't want to ink with Roland anymore, and said directly: "The shooting copyright of "Death of a Virgin" has actually been bought by someone else. I came to George, hoping that George can help I take 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!

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

While repeatedly saying that Francis Coppola brought too much resistance to his career, he went to Francis Coppola's younger brother George Lucas for help?

You are really acting like an ostrich!

Roland took it.

Since he is here to attract investment, it is his home field.

Although Roland can't remember whether "Death of the Virgin" made money, it doesn't matter, he will vote for Sofia Coppola just because of the name Francis Coppola, but before that, he really wants to Knowing what kind of confidence Sofia Coppola has, she feels that she will definitely vote for her.

If it's because of the relationship between Francis Coppola and Steven Spielberg, isn't that still rubbing off on his father's aura? If there is such a disagreement, then Roland can vote for her, but he will never pay attention to her.

It's really boring for people who want to save face and suffer.

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

Anyway, everyone is sharing resources, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.

However, when Roland was thinking about what kind of words Sofia Coppola would use to convince himself, the girl's answer was beyond Roland's expectations, "You know that "Virgin Suicides" is about thirteen to seventeen Stories about young girls?"

"Of course, is there any problem?" Roland blinked, wondering: "Don't tell me, you want to invite the Olsen sisters to act, right? If that's the case, then I won't vote for you."

"They don't know how to shoot award-winning films, not before, not now, and even less in the future."

Since the fundamental reason for winning the award is to make money, why not make money directly?

The nationality of the Olsen sisters is there, and they don't need to take the curve to save the country.

"Well, I actually didn't intend to invite them to take pictures." Seeing that Roland was not interested in the award, Sofia Coppola decisively gave up this argument, and instead proposed a question that Roland remembered a few minutes ago. guy.

"But I want to invite the contracted models under the name of Double Star Group to take pictures."

What?

Roland was a little dazed.

Double Star Group?

Isn't that the conglomerate that David Olsen created for the Olsen sisters?

A contracted model under his name?

Double Star 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 fashion clothing has always been photographed by Ashley and Mary. The most is to add one...

Grass hold...

Well, Roland remembered.

When he first heard Sofia Coppola's words, Roland's eyes were blurred, but after he reacted, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Scarlett Johansson?"

"Yeah..." Sofia Coppola also showed joy after seeing Roland's raised lips.

That look, there is the pride of winning a victory in the negotiation and confrontation, and the satisfaction of being caught by surprise.

"I heard that you seem to be...?"

Halfway through the speech, Sofia Coppola started another topic, saying: "As far as I know, Scarlett just finished filming "Home Alone 3", this is your famous series..."

"And after that, she is going to shoot "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 a child star to find a book. Not everyone can be like you, who can receive James Cameron's "Terminator 2" immediately after filming "Home Alone". Yes, no one can make Steven Spielberg change the book of "Jurassic Park" after "Home Alone 2", and no one can make James - Cameron wrote the custom Spider-Man project…”

"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 shocked his family about the event at the birthday party. According to the words of the big fat man, Roland is a fellow man, and later, Roland's decision at the premiere of "The Seven Deadly Sins" also made Sofia Coppola, who had heard about it, believe her father's words, and she I don't think there is any problem...

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

That's right, the prince who has sixteen platinum albums and created the "Sound of Minneapolis".

At that time, Francis Coppola was coaxing his daughter to become an actor, and after discovering that his daughter liked Prince Napson, he took his daughter to the shooting location of "PurpleRain". After seeing the male **** performing in front of the camera …

Sofia Coppola was coaxed by her father to make a bunch of movies.

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

Because of knowing this, after learning that Roland came to the "Star Wars" crew, she wanted to use this as a breakthrough to get investment from Roland...Anyway, she just didn't want to use her own father's money!

As for what kind of emotion Roland has for Scarlett, and what is going on between him and Kate?

Sofia Coppola is not clear about this, but she believes that it will always be clear in the future.

But for Roland...

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

"Okay, you can directly throw the information to Warcraft Film and Television, and I will get the copyright for you."

The clean answer made Sofia Coppola, who already thought she had a chance of winning, extremely excited, "Shit! Do you really like her?"

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

"Wow! Then I must tell her about this!" Sofia Coppola, who received an affirmative answer, widened her eyes.

However, the next second, Roland emphasized again, "I mean, I used to like it."

"What?" After confirming that Roland's words did not seem to be fake, Sofia Coppola also frowned, "What do you mean?"

"It literally means... I used to like it..."

Roland shrugged with his hands in his pockets, 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 worrying about how to get her to leave Double Star Company, but I haven't found a good way."

"It's all right now, you have provided me with a good idea."

"When she is officially filming and on the right track, she won't need the job of Double Star Group."

"Naturally, I left..."

Since Sofia Coppola knew the inside story, Roland didn't hide it.

But even though he was speaking clearly, the other party still looked confused.

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

In his previous life, he had liked many female stars. It’s hard to mention the ones from the mainland, but Hollywood...

He even likes Stallone's three daughters!

But is that like it? That's just greedy people's bodies.

Although he kept saying that over the past ten or twenty years, there are many people he likes, and those two have always been his favorite, but...that is also Scarlett's face. Compared with other European and American stars, she is more attractive, Elizabeth is indeed beautiful...

Roland never denied his superficiality.

And if it is said that Roland in the previous life already knew that his so-called **** liking was greedy for other people's bodies, then in this life, he understood even more what kind of body he was greedy for...

In his previous life, he also liked Kate, but after "Titanic", he didn't deliberately go after Kate's movies.

What he likes is the Ruth who looks up from the first-class escalator.

In his previous life, he liked Famke Janssen, and in this life he also went to the cinema to watch "Golden Eye".

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

What he likes is the girl who can crush her lover to death with her thighs, and then there is another Phoenix girl.

To put it bluntly, even though Roland knew who was a **** and who was a coquette, and kept dissing, if it was really put in front of him, he... still felt it, just like Anne Hathaway, no matter what she was It's not White Lotus, but if Roland puts on the Catwoman uniform and lays down on Batman's motorcycle, if Roland says he has no idea, then he is not a man.

He wished he could rush over and ride with him.

To put it bluntly, just like those guys who like celebrities because of their star halo, what impressed Roland was actually the flashy aura of those female stars at a certain moment.

This point has been proved by Kate.

When she turned into Ruth, Roland, who had no feelings for Kate in his previous life, still liked her.

And in this case, it doesn't make sense for him to stare at Scarlett Johansson.

Does he like Scarlett Johansson?

No-

He just likes the heroic black widow.

In this case, it can only be SayGoodbye.

Is there a reason? I already told Kate.

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

A little bit, it doesn't work.

But if you don’t film, how can there be a black widow?

Scarlett without star halo, it is not Scarlett...

As for Kate...

Her star halo has now merged with Roland...

Since the peak has arrived, Roland accepted it bluntly.

Because of this, Roland readily agreed to invest in "Virgin Suicide" knowing that there were beauties beside him.

And when he left the "Star Wars" crew without incident and returned to the hotel, looking at the guy with a red face, Kate, who was packing up his things and preparing to go home, asked curiously, "Seeing you smiling so happily, Looks like you had a good time talking?"

"Yeah, it was a nice talk, but I was even happier when I turned down a girl."

Roland folded his hands, lying on the back of the sofa, smiling and looking at Kate who was folding clothes.

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

"Are you beautiful?" Bulingbuling's big eyes showed curiosity.

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

"You want to chase someone?" Kate frowned.

"Reject for me?" His brows stretched, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.

"Then I have to reward you well?" Kate put the folded clothes into the suitcase, stood 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 to be called to the company by your name."

Okay...

Roland nodded with a wry smile.

It seems that he is the only one in the world who thinks that others may like Scarlett without knowing it.

"But I'm giving up now..."

"I know…"

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

"Why should I be surprised? Because you gave up other people for me? Don't be kidding, okay? When you told me that you couldn't accept me filming with other opposite sexes, didn't you think that you made demands on me At the same time, shouldn't you settle your own affairs?" Kate raised her hand and patted Roland's chest, and asked angrily, "Do you think I'm acquiescing if I don't say anything? Don't feel good about yourself, okay? I just thought you'd take care of things on your own, and now…"

At this point in the words, Kate, who should have taken it for granted, pouted and commented in a low voice, "Good job..."

Kate gave a thumbs up and passed in front of Roland.

In such a situation, Roland looked helpless.

Whoops! This woman is really difficult to deal with!

Duplicity!

Obviously happy in my heart, but I don’t say it out of my mouth!

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

"Go and take care of things, if it weren't for you to go to the "Star Wars" crew, I would have been home today..."

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

Looking at the back full of depression, Kate, who had seized Roland's position, bit her red lips with her white teeth, and at the same time kicked the sofa with her toes, "Don't be angry when you are doing things, I folded them. If you mess up Messed up, hum..."

Note: ①Francis Coppola is a slave to his daughter. Sophia was actually cheated by him. Sophia said that when she was five years old, her father wrote a book of "Cinderella" by herself, and asked her family to accompany her. Watching her act, to cultivate her sense of camera, she didn't want to film when she was twelve years old, and then Francis, who knew that her daughter liked Prince, took her daughter to the filming site of Prince. So much so that after getting the golden raspberry, she quit because she didn't like it. It is true that she doesn't want to fight her father as written in the article, but the root cause of her unwillingness to fight her father is because her father loves to torment her too much. No matter what line of work she does, her father makes her feel 'Daddy loves you'. In the end, she had no other choice, she chose to use "Death of a Virgin" to tell her dad 'you are too annoying'. It's a pity that Lucas helped her obtain the copyright of "Death of a Virgin", but the company that Lucas obtained the copyright was the company he and Francis co-founded back then, so Sophia didn't know until the filming started , it turned out that the film producer was not Lucas, but her father, and then she resigned to her fate. ② "The Matrix" did choose Will Smith at the beginning, and Warner was willing to pay 20 million, but with the finalization of Murphys, Will Smith decisively took over "Public Enemy". Everyone knows that it is impossible for two important black characters to appear in a movie. Sofia was indeed dating Keanu Reeves at the time.
