Chapter 336： Coppola's daughter

With the opening of schools in North America, the disturbing summer files came to an end, and Ryan returned to school. Although the USC Film School has always advocated practice over theory, it is unavoidable that it will not appear in the classroom for a long time. Can't explain it. .

In fact, among the classmates of the same period, no one has more experience than him.

A student who has been on the Oscar podium as a producer, I am afraid that USC is not only unprecedented, it is estimated that there will be no future.

Although he missed a lot of classes and was reprimanded by his mentor Professor Great for several times, Ryan was not worried about graduation. In the past few years in USC, he personally sponsored several million dollars for the film school. , Plus George? Lucas and Robert? The relationship between Zemikis's two star graduates is not a problem.

Besides, a star student who was expelled from the school by USC is a completely different concept from a famous alumnus who graduated normally from USC.

After finishing a theoretical course, Ryan packed up the teaching materials, followed Darren's four, walked into the outdoor cafe of the film school, and chose a quiet corner.

After the five of them ordered coffee and sat down, they instantly attracted the attention of countless people.

Needless to say, Ryan, Darren and the others have now become the influential figures in the film academy. Regardless of the quality of the pseudo-documentary, it is always a fact that the box office of more than 100 million US dollars in North America is always a fact, and the business is the first. In Hollywood, such achievements will naturally be noticeable.

You know, directors who have been making films for decades and whose single box office can't exceed the 100 million yuan mark are everywhere in Hollywood.

Although there is no exact information, these people understand that Ryan is definitely inseparable from behind this incident. Usually, the four guys rely on his friendship and go to many film crews to practice, which makes them again Envy and jealous.

Why did you go out to rent an apartment in the first place? If you apply for a dormitory, you will be divided around him like the four guys. How much effort will this save for future development?

"Ryan, we really don't make a sequel anymore?" Reese seemed a little unwilling.

"One chance is enough." Ryan said very seriously. "Frankly speaking, what do you think of the quality of that movie? How much box office can you get if it is released normally?"

"Although I don't want to belittle my work." Darren? Bowsman sighed, "Perhaps it is enough for a student test film, but it is better than a movie that can enter the theater..."

He didn't continue, but shook his head.

"However, we learned a lot through this feature film." It was Chen Jiazheng who spoke.

"Don't worry, take your time." Ryan drank coffee slowly, enjoying the rare leisure, "We are still young, and we have time."

"I originally planned to concentrate the dividends and shoot a real horror movie." Darren? Bossman turned his head and looked at Chen Jiazheng, "This guy Chen is too stingy, and he refuses to take out the money when he says anything."

"Chen has his own ideals." David patted the opponent's arm lightly.

"What is your ideal?" Ryan asked cooperatively.

"After graduation, I returned to China and founded a film company to develop our film industry." This is the ideal that Chen Jiazheng said.

"Back home?" Ryan shook his head.

He has heard from the other party that his life experience is just a relatively wealthy family. If it doesn't matter, he wants to get a foot in the media industry and he wants to grow. How difficult is that?

"Why not stay in Hollywood? This is the center of the world's film industry." Reese asked curiously.

Chen Jiazheng spread his hands and said nothing.

"I've seen a movie made by a director from your side. It's called..." David patted his head and remembered it for a while. "A female director named Joan? Chen, the film was called "Heavenly Bath". I don’t understand the movie, I just fell asleep halfway through. The only impression is that the heroine is very pitiful."

"The culture of every country and nation has its own fascinating and obscure features." Ryan completely regarded it as a relaxing chat. "Hollywood movies can last forever because we absorb cultures from all over the world. And talents, and then fused them together to become the film and television industry that now leads the entire world..."

Ryan stopped suddenly because he saw George looking for a woman with a woman with neat short black hair, a hooked nose and two big protruding teeth.

"Ryan."

George walked to him and said in a low voice, "Miss Sophia called a mobile phone half an hour ago. I told her that you were in class, but she didn't expect her to come directly."

"Okay, I'll take care of it." Ryan nodded, stood up and stretched out his hand. "It's been a long time, Sophia."

"Sorry, Ryan, I am looking for you in a hurry." Sophia? Coppola shook his hand gently.

Because the other party played one of Natalie's five maids in "Star Wars 1", Ryan met her when he went to visit the class. The other party was born in a prominent Hollywood family and his father was Francisco, one of the four major directors. ? Coppola, cousin is Oscar actor Nicholas? Cage is a model, photographer, designer, actor, screenwriter and director.

Oh, yes, it seems that she has not yet started her career as a screenwriter and director.

"Sit, Sophia." Ryan made a please gesture.

Darren, who was at the same table, and the other five people, saw that they might have business matters to discuss, and quickly changed a table.

"Couldn't it be Ryan who owed the debt outside and was called by the woman?" Reese's associations were too rich.

"That's Sophia? Coppola, haven't you seen "The Godfather 3"?" David said in a low voice.

"Sophia? What's wrong with Coppola? Isn't it just having a good dad? Our Ryan's achievements can throw her ten blocks away..."

Naturally, Ryan would not hear these words, he looked at Sophia curiously? Coppola, apart from her cousin Nicholas? Cage had nothing to do with the Coppola family except that Cage had worked together. Even if she starred in the same movie, Natalie and she were just nodding acquaintances.

"Ryan, I know your time is tight." Sophia? Coppola has inherited her father's ability and spoke very directly, "I want to buy the film adaptation rights of a novel from you."

"Me?" Ryan was even stranger.

Most of the works written by herself are commercialized works. In my memory, she is not in this style.

"That's it." Sophia? Coppola quickly explained, "I contacted Mr. Geoffrey? Eugenides, wanting to buy the film adaptation rights of his best-selling book "Death of **", but he informed me that the film adaptation of this novel The rights were sold to Carlock Pictures as early as 1995. Your Jenkins Pictures has now acquired Carlock Pictures, and the right of adaptation is in your hands."

"So it's like this." Ryan was really not sure about this, and waved to George and asked for a mobile phone, "Wait a minute, I'll ask."

Called Mario? On the phone call from Casa, Ryan asked a few words briefly. The adaptation rights of "Death of Sex" are indeed in his hands, because Jenkins Pictures prefers a commercial production style, and there is no production plan in the short term.

"The film adaptation rights of the novel are indeed in Jenkins Pictures." Ryan returned the mobile phone to George.

"Can you transfer it to me? Jeffrey? Mr. Eugenides is not a problem." Sophia? Coppola looked at Ryan and said if the other party disagrees, she can only go to George? Lucas and Stephen? Spielberg, with their relationship, presumably the other party will not refuse.

"May... ask, what are you doing with it?" Ryan stirred his brain and thought of a lot of things, but still had to confirm.

"I want to direct this movie." Sophia? Coppola gave a helpless smile, "You should know, Ryan, my career as an actor has failed. I don't want to continue. I think Hollywood should look at me from a different perspective."

In her brief words, Ryan recalled more things, even the plot of "Death of **" which had not been read a few times.

"Well, I can transfer the right of adaptation to you at the original price."

The other party is Francisco after all? Coppola's daughter, but haven't waited for Sophia? Coppola was happy, and Ryan put up his hand, "There is one condition!"

"Go ahead." Sophia? Coppola shrugged helplessly.

"I remember there was a 13-year-old girl in the original novel. Do you plan to keep this role?" Ryan asked.

"Of course." Apparently Sophia? Coppola has a concrete idea.

"I recommend an actor to play this role." Ryan said very quickly, "Scarlett? Johnson, starred in "The Horse Whisperer" released in May."

Sophia? Coppola thought for a while, probably recalling the scene in the movie and finally did not refuse, "Well, as long as there is no problem with the audition."

It's a good deal to trade a supporting role for the right to adapt. Besides, that girl's performance in "The Horse Whisperer" is really good.

"Deal!"

Ryan shook her hand again.

Melanie? Sloan is one of the top management of Jenkins Pictures, Scarlett? Johnson is his friend again, and Ryan will not stand idly by where he can help.

As some people say, he treats people around him very well.

As for Sophia? Ryan is not worried about the audition that Coppola said, Scarlett now and in the next few years? Johnson, that's a standard literary girl.

It’s strange to say that most actresses started from the vase in the movie and slowly became a literary acting school, and Scarlett? Johnson started as an acting school and became a standard vase as an adult.

Does it have something to do with her figure? (To be continued.) ()
