In the broad and bright hall, people get together in twos and threes, talking and chatting with each other, making the whole Party lively and extraordinary. The reason why it is a party rather than a meeting or a party is that the party is not so formal. Some people wear suits and some dress casually - of course, it is not particularly casual, at least not in those fancy dresses - neither is it as formal as a cocktail party, nor as lively and noisy as a party.
"I'm more like a retro Hippie dressed up and singing on the stage with my favorite guitar." Nicholas Cage looked at the meeting with a glass of wine. He was casually dressed in his shirt, trousers and sneakers. He didn't feel like a gentleman at all. He was more like a boy jumping through the street, but his charm did not diminish.
"You can try this, but I'm sure old Frank will kill you." Adrian, next to him, laughs. His dress is a little more formal than cage. Although he doesn't have the strong and unruly temperament like cage, he is similar to and different from cage. His elegant appearance also attracts many women's attention.
This is a party held by the Coppola family to celebrate cage's Oscar for best actor. God knows why they didn't hold it until more than a week after the awards ceremony. Since he received the invitation, Adrian, who wanted to have a relationship with the Coppola family, naturally did not refuse. Just now, he talked to Francis Coppola for a moment, as well as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. Three of the four directors in the 1970s and 1980s were here, attracting no less attention than other big and small Ming Stars.
"I don't need my uncle to do it. As long as he says it, many people will be willing to do it for him." Cage said in a serious tone, gesturing.
"Well, it looks like I'm in the wrong place. It's not a place to celebrate your best actor, it's the godfather." Adrian shrugged, then laughed and raised his glass to cage. "Okay, Nikolay, congratulations again on your Oscar for best actor."
"Thank you. If it wasn't for you, it would have been hard for me to get it." Cage picked up the quilt and touched him with a smile.
"That's not necessarily true. Your acting skills are very good. Although you can't play any role, it's not much worse. Even if you don't get the best actor in this movie, sooner or later." Adrian complimented.
"I'm ashamed of you to say that, ED," cage said, sounding exaggerated but actually quite sincere. As a member of the Coppola family, how could he not understand the importance of opportunity. "But if you say that, is there any good role? Such as Playboy
"How do you think of being a playboy or something?" Adrian asked curiously.
"Oh, it's so sad that the girl at the party tonight winks at you and ignores me, as if I don't exist at all," cage lamented. "Well, I know I can't compare with you in reality, at least let me have fun in the movie."
Listening to his complaints, Adrian couldn't help laughing. Indeed, many women tried to talk to him this evening. Although "brave heart" lost a lot in the 68th Oscars, his fame did not decline but went up a lot by winning the best film. If the film academy clearly wants to suppress it, it can also make them compromise and award the best film to "brave heart". This influence can't be possessed by any one. In addition, cage's best actor also continues to stabilize the aura of his vision. Naturally, countless people will flock to him.
"No playboy. Tough guy can be considered." Adrian looked at cage and said.
"Tough guy?" The other side looked at him with interest.
"Let me see..." Adrian continued to look at cage, hitting the sun with his fingers, and after a while he said, "first of all, you're a marine."
"Oh, very good, Marine Corps, strong physique, excellent fighting skills, basic conditions for a tough guy."
"And then retired."
"Well, retired, as long as you keep exercising."
"You go back to your hometown and find your fiancee who has been waiting for you for a long time and is ready to get married because she is pregnant with your child. However, when you are in the bar, two hooligans challenge you and your girlfriend. You are very angry and want to teach them a lesson, but your fiancee has caught you. But when you left, they came to look for trouble again. It was raining hard outside, and their sight was very blurred. So when someone touched out a dagger, you lost your hand. Finally, the court sentenced you to several years' imprisonment for over defense. "
"Wow, turn around. Is the hot version of Shawshank's redemption next?"
"It's a pity that you did well and finally got parole a few years later, and your daughter is almost a few years old. However, when you take the plane to transfer other criminals home, the plane is hijacked by a guy who has been premeditated. You could have left safely, but for the sake of another inmate who was transferred and the early warning of good relationship, it was finally left.During this period, all kinds of things happened. When the police caught up with the plane and were ready to shoot down the plane at all costs, and your cellmate was hit by other criminals for covering you, and he might die at any time, he said to you in your arms, "it seems that there is no miracle in the world." you said, "I will let you see a miracle." then you get up and stride to the cockpit.
The guy who was there raised a gun to warn you to step back, but you turned a deaf ear, the gun rang, hit your arm and splashed blood, but you didn't stop half a step or even frown. That shot was like hitting a tree trunk instead of your body. You hit the other party to the ground with one punch, and then forced the pilot to control the landing of the plane, and then beat all the criminals in one net All. "
Adrian finally finished, and cage stood where he was, and it took him a few minutes to digest it.
“…… Frankly, I like the back part, "he said with a smile." I didn't stop half a step or even frown. That shot was like hitting a tree trunk instead of your body Ha, just thinking about it makes people warm-blooded. This is the charm of tough guy characters "
" that's settled. Wait for this Well, it's called prison in the air. I don't want to hear a rejection when the script is finished and handed over to you. " Adrian said while the iron was hot.
"Absolutely not. No one's going to turn down the miracle director's invitation, will they?" Cage laughed.
"Good story." Just then, a pleasant voice came into the ear with a little magnetism.
"Ha, do you think so?" Cage looked at the young lady who appeared in front of them, and his eyes were suddenly surprised, but it soon became meaningful.
She is about 25 years old. She is a dark gray suit for women. The lines of her facial features are a little hard, similar to Blanchett. She is not very beautiful. She purses her lips and gives people a sense of being competitive, but at the same time, she conceals this weakness.
"of course, as you have just said, this story is a twisty and winding story on the whole, which shows the image of a tough guy, although it is only a little bit But I believe the script will be as good as it will be when it is completed. " The lady said with a smile, and then looked at Adrian curiously, "the director of miracle really deserves the reputation, but only a few minutes can conceive a good story."
"By the way, let me introduce you," cage thought of what he should do. "This is my cousin..."
"Miss Sophia Coppola, the daughter of Mr. Francis Coppola, how could I not have known her." Adrian interrupted with a smile and held out his hand to the lady. "Nice to meet you, Miss Sophia. I'm Adrian Cowell."
"Nice to meet you, too, Mr. Adrian." Sophia shook hands with him with reserve.
"Ha, it's rare, Sophie. I can see you like this again." Cage screamed in a strange way.
"Nikolay" Sophia immediately raised eyebrows at her cousin.
"Well, well, if I offend you, I'm sorry." Cage quickly raised his hands, but it was hard to believe his sincerity with his playful appearance.
"It's a bit exaggerated to think of a story in a few minutes. In fact, there are many bridges in my mind. As long as conditions permit, I will write down these ideas with a pen, even if it may take a long time to use them." Adrian's words between the two people, "so sometimes because of some people or things and inspiration, just need to put these accumulated bridge together."
"It's a good way to write down all the things that flash, and you'll be ready to use them." Sofia's eyes lit up.
"By the way, I may have to excuse me for a moment. You can talk first. Anyway, you seem to have a lot of common topics." Cage said suddenly, squeezing his cousin's eyes and leaving quickly.
"Sorry, Nikolay is always jumping off. Sometimes he is more like a child. He still likes playing video games and collecting comics." Sofia said apologetically to Adrian after taking back her eyes from her cousin's back.
"It doesn't matter. Sometimes, the more people jump off, the easier it is to play a good role. As long as you focus on the performance, it's not easy to be too calm and rational, because they always think too much." Adrian said meaningfully.
Sophia was stunned and seemed to have heard something. Adrian then went on: "but it's a bad thing to jump off too much and let it go or not. Since it has to be controlled, it's also a bad thing."
"You have a keen sense of thought and observation, Mr. Adrian. Just like my father, when I was a child, I always followed my father from one set to another. He always pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of those actors Sophia's eyes showed curiosity again.
"Mr. Francis is an excellent director. He has a lot to learn from." Adrian said solemnly at first, then followed the lead: "can you tell me what your father thinks of the actors he works with? By the way, please ask me Adrian or ed
The two began to talk, and from Sophia's constant chuckles, Adrian made her happy. It was just that her face flashed hesitantly from time to time, as if she wanted to say something, but those words often came to her mouth and turned into something else."What do you want to say, Sophie?" At the end of a topic, Adrian suddenly asked.
"Well..." Sophia was stunned, laughing and ripping her hair aside. "I don't know, ED, I don't know what to say..."
"You're not fit to be an actor," Adrian's voice was very low, but it was no less than a thunderbolt in Sophia's ear. The smile then solidified on her face and her face began to turn white.
"You too Do you think so? " Sophia looked at him stupidly, the look in his eyes disappeared, and all that remained was loss. It seemed that she had finally got a beautiful crystal ball, but it was actually just a gorgeous bubble, which would burst with a poke.
"Your facial features are too hard for the tough female characters, which not only limits your performance, but also requires more acting skills than other characters," Adrian said mercilessly. "Besides, you are very smart and rational. If you think too much, it's hard to put your passion into it."
“…… You're no different from what my father said After a long silence, Sophia sighed and looked away in a trance.
"I guess Mr. Francis didn't say that in front of you, did he?" Adrian asked with a smile.
"Yes, you're smart, ed. I overheard that. My father never said that to his face. He always encouraged me to try," Sophia turned with a wry smile. "You're the first one."
"Every father wants his daughter to be happy and do what he wants to do." Adrian shrugged.
"Thank you. It's a pleasure to talk to you." Sophia became a little bit of a lethargy.
"Why don't you think about it from another angle?" Adrian suddenly said again.
"Ah?" Sophia looked puzzled.
"Mr. Francis's most admired thing is not his performance." Adrian said with a gentle smile, "one way doesn't work. Why not try another? Maybe you'll find a wider world. "
"You mean You mean... " Sophia looked at him hesitantly.
"What's more, Sophie, do you really like to be an actor if you want to go further on the road of being an actor, or do you want to prove something to the people who sneer at you?" Adrian then asked.
Sophia suddenly raised her head, her face flushed with anger, but soon dissipated, staring at Adrian and saying nothing. Adrian also did not speak again, so calmly and she looked at each other.
After a long time, Sophia snuffed and said, "thank you, ED, it's a pleasure to talk to you."
Then he turned around and left. Looking at her back, Adrian shrugged his shoulders and crossed his mouth with a smile. If you recall carefully, although Sofia Coppola's works are few, they are all of high quality. Female directors are naturally inferior to each other in terms of theme. In my memory, it's amazing that she can do that at that age, let alone In short, there is no harm in seizing the opportunity to say a few words. As for some things, we can see the situation later.
Shrugging his shoulders again, Adrian went to another place. Cage didn't know where he had gone. After turning around, he quickly came to the circle where he had been chatting with old Coppola and others.
"Are you talking about something bad?" Adrian cuts in and looks at the crowd. Francis Coppola and George Lucas are no longer here. Only Spielberg and executives from several film companies are left.
"Ha, look who's back. I thought I saw you talking to Sophia, ed?" Spielberg asked with a smile.
"Well..." Adrian looked at him funny. He didn't expect that he could see him from such a long distance. Does this old man have a voyeurism?
"Don't get me wrong," Frank said as he left. Someone seemed to make his daughter angry. " Spielberg laughed.
"Miss Sophia is a good person, but sometimes she is too strong." Adrian shrugged.
"Because those journalists and critics are so sharp, they always like to catch a small problem and make a lot of criticism." Someone said that.
Sophia Coppola played the role of daughter in the third Godfather directed by Francis Coppola. Because the acting was bad - "like a piece of wood", the film critics said so - and pushed Winona down, both fans and the media sneered at her. Jin also rated her as the worst hostess It's said that Sophia cried for it.
That's why Adrian asks her if she really likes to be an actress, or if she wants to prove something to people who are sarcastic about you.
"Or to talk about other things, you seem to be in a low mood before." Adrian asked, avoiding the subject.
"We've just received bad news that not only will we lose an outstanding director, but our original investment will also be totally at a loss." It's Penn Clarkson, a warner executive, who's got a sad look on his face."Oh?"
"Director Stanley Kubrick had a stroke in his home in England," he said, with a deep melancholy in his voice. "Although he was rescued, the whole person was paralyzed in bed and was said to be unable to speak, although his consciousness was still clear."
"Is that true?" After the initial shock, Adrian squinted and asked.
"It's confirmed, ed." Spielberg nodded.
Clarkson said with a wry smile: "you know, last year we agreed to support him in moving Schnitzler's novel" the dream story "to the screen. It took more than half a year to prepare. The actors changed several times. Tom Cruise and his wife finally agreed to play. I didn't expect that all of them would be invalid now."
