Chapter five hundred and ninety-fifth [Godfather] director Coppola
Ye Ming was silent for a moment, and then glanced meaningfully at Mo Wenwei, who was like a bullfight, and Zhou Xingxing, who was extremely calm, but was constantly struggling in his heart.
Everyone's eyes are focused on Ye Ming, waiting for the answer to this question, because this answer will affect the subsequent development of the "Infernal Affairs" crew.
At this time, Ye Ming suddenly said with a smile: "Ms. Mok Wenwei, for your question, I think it is better to invite the artistic director of our film to tell you that our artistic director, husband Coppola, has been invited."
As Ye Ming finished speaking, a bearded old man walked in energetically. At this time, the old man just walked in, which could bring people as much pressure as a mountain or a sea.
It seemed that this old man was the center of the press conference, and everyone had to revolve around him. His maverick and unruly eyes made Zhou Xingxing feel a little dwarfed by him.
Mok Wenwei snorted twice and said: "Coppola, "no>wrong", what can he tell me? Tell me what this character is like? What does he do?"
At this time, Mok Wenwei's words finally made Zhou Xingxing angry: "Shut up, you have no place to speak here."
Mo Wenwei couldn't believe it, her eyes widened, her mouth opened wide, and she stared blankly at Zhou Xingxing. She never expected that Zhou Xingxing actually dared to reprimand her openly in front of so many people.
The relationship between the two people has indeed reached a bad point, but it has not reached the point of breaking up. After all, the two of them are doing the final rescue. Mok Wenwei said bitterly: "Zhou Xingxing, you dare to scold me.
, in front of so many people, you dare to scold me?"
Zhou Xingxing said very unhappily: "Do you know who he is when he scolds you? Do you know his influence in the world film industry? He doesn't know anything, but he dares to talk nonsense. I scold you lightly."
, If you weren’t my girlfriend, I would have driven you away long ago.”
This is Ye Ming's home court, but the maverick Zhou Xingxing can still have the momentum to cover the entire audience. But at this moment, in front of Coppola, he has completely restrained his arrogance.
Angry.
He walked up and said respectfully: "Husband Coppola, I really didn't expect that you would become the producer of Infernal Affairs. It is an honor for me to be able to act in a movie under your hands." Coppola waved his hand.
Said: "I'm old, I'm old, many people don't recognize me now."
He couldn't understand what Mo Wenwei said, but there was a translator behind him. The translator would translate what someone said to Coppola without reservation.
At this time, the whole scene suddenly boiled up, and the huge impact made almost all the reporters and actors stunned. Who could be called Coppola by Zhou Xingxing with such respect?
Nowadays, only a few people who can't resolve the situation are wondering who this bearded old man is, worthy of Zhou Xingxing's respect. Fat Guo happens to be one of them who doesn't know much about the situation. At this time, he has some doubts
He said in confusion: "Yan Meng, who is this old man? Look at his momentum, he is quite awesome."
Yan Meng glanced at Fat Guo with disdain and said, "Fat man, I see that all your brains are filled with fat. You don't even know this person. Why don't you just stop being in the entertainment industry and go to the food section?"
Pangguo said without any shame: "Hey, actually, before I was in the entertainment industry, I was a reporter in the food section."
Yan Meng felt depressed for a while and couldn't hold it in for a long time. He became angry and stopped paying attention to this idiot.
King Charles turned around to spread knowledge and said: "Pangguo, you don't know this old man, but you always know about The Godfather, you always know about Apocalypse Now, this is the Godfather and the director of Apocalypse Now,
Francis, Ford, and Coppola were among the four major Hollywood directors in the 1980s, along with Lucas, Spielberg, and Martin Scorsese. Think about it, what will this one be like?
A person who is super talented, even in Hollywood, is a top-notch director."
The Godfather is known as a classic among classics and one of the hundred movies that has influenced the world. No matter what your choice is, you will not miss The Godfather. Of course, there is also Apocalypse Now, which is also a very profitable movie.
I think that when he was thirty-six years old, Coppola had five Oscars. Looking back now, it was simply a miracle. Of course, Coppola’s ability to shoot classics and his prodigal
The ability is just as powerful.
This talented director is famous even in Hollywood for his stubbornness and unrestrained imagination.
When filming "My Sweetheart" in 1981, because Coppola was unwilling to go to Las Vegas for filming, it ended up costing $6 million just to build the exteriors. In the end, the movie, which cost $30 million, was only taken back.
One million US dollars, and it failed miserably at the box office and both word of mouth and box office.
But no matter how you say it, no one can deny Coppola's historical status in Hollywood. As his friend and business partner Lucas said, this guy is a messy symphony. You can't even try to understand what he is doing.
Think about something.
Coppola walked up to Mo Wenwei with a smile and said: "Miss, let me tell you, as an actor, the only job you have to do is to understand the script and then obey the director. This is enough.
That's what great actors do."
Coppola's tone was condescending, with a condescending attitude towards Mo Wenwei. However, at this moment, no one would doubt that Coppola had the qualifications to say this. He taught Mo Wenwei that he was so spicy.
strong.
As the master, Ye Ming naturally couldn't watch the situation deteriorate like this. He also didn't want to see Zhou Xingxing unable to get off the stage. Although Mo Wenwei was a little crazy about love, Zhou Xingxing's face still had to be taken care of.
Therefore, under such a situation, Ye Ming said with a smile: "Husband Coppola, I am very happy that you can come. It is great to have you as the art director."
At this time, Ye Ming was also speaking in English, so there was no translation problem at all. Coppola said with a smile: "Young man, you are welcome, it was your book that impressed me, Infernal Affairs, it is a very good book.
Without this book, I won't come here no matter how much money you have.
No matter what it is, this is a movie that can move people. Sometimes I think, if this movie was in Hollywood, then I would become the director of this movie."
[Infernal Affairs], when Ye Ming watched this movie, he always felt that this movie lacked something. Later, Ye Ming directly asked the system, and the system gave a very surprising answer [Infernal Affairs]
I have to say it is a classic, but it is a soulless movie. The whole movie is in gray tones, but there is no trace of soul. This is the most fatal thing. You need someone to give it to you.
Its soul.]
Ye Ming was very curious and asked "Soul, how can we make this movie have a soul?"
The system gave the answer [Look for Coppola to be the art director of Infernal Affairs. At this time, Coppola will bring soul to the film.]
Ye Ming objected unceremoniously: "Isn't this a bit nonsense? Coppola is a foreigner. Can he understand what Infernal Affairs is? I guess he is a Christian and he doesn't understand the concept of Infernal Affairs."
The degree will be very blurry.】
The system’s answer was quite straightforward [That’s right, Coppola doesn’t understand what Infernal Affairs is, but he can understand the relationship between gangsters and police. There is no gangster movie in the world that can be as perfect as The Godfather. This
Everything is due to the whimsical ideas of Coppola, the director. Therefore, Coppola has a very big say in Jianghu films. If you let him be the artistic director, then at this time he can give you
What it brings is the soul of the entire movie. As for whether Coppola understands what ultimate seamlessness is, this has nothing to do with it.】
Coppola is a bit perfectionistic, a bit paranoid, and self-righteous, so he also suffered a great failure in Hollywood, but this Coppola is still a director that Ye Ming cannot easily hire.
Even if you ask Coppola to be the art director, it won't be easy.
Finally, the system gave a note and showed the script of "Infernal Affairs" to Coppola. If Coppola could like this script, then there would be no problem. If not,
Under such circumstances, it would be wishful thinking to invite Coppola over.
Ye Ming urgently found Coppola through Ai Qiuhua's relationship, and sent him the book of Infernal Affairs to read.
Although Ai Qiuhua is from Warner Brothers and Coppola is from Paramount, relationships in Hollywood are very complicated. Therefore, Ai Qiuhua has channels to find Coppola and give him the script.
A strange thing.
At this time, Ai Qiuhua thought that Ye Ming was wishful thinking and that Coppola was not someone who could be easily impressed.
But what made Ai Qiuhua unhappy was that after the script was sent, Coppola actually agreed to it in a very short period of time. Even Ai Qiuhua was very puzzled. This so-called four-part Hollywood star in the 1980s
The genius of a great director can actually agree to be the art director of a Chinese film. This is simply unbelievable.
But this kind of thing did happen, and it was precisely because of this thing that [Infernal Affairs] really came into the eyes of Warner Bros. executives.
Not every script can impress Coppola. (To be continued...)
