"Mr. Coppola, it's nice to meet you." After arriving in Hollywood, after a long wait, the two finally saw the master.
Both Hollywood and Miramar Air Station are in California. The journey is not too far away. Nathan is driving along the way. Now, after waiting for a long time, it was almost dark before they saw Coppola. director.
Coppola is tall and tall, with a full length of 1.83 meters. Although he is relatively young, he has spectacles on his eyes, and his hair is a bit long, making him look full of literary and artistic style.
"I have read the script you sent me. Generally speaking, the script is good. I am very interested." As a famous director, Coppola's time is very precious, so there is no nonsense. Speaking immediately.
Interested, which means there is hope!
"However, I have been busy with other things recently. The filming of this script will not have time until at least next year." Coppola said.
After hearing Coppola's words, Jenny's face suddenly changed. Next year? I can't wait that long! According to the above meaning, it is best that this film will be released at the end of the year, just in time for the next batch of conscription.
For an outstanding director, his work plan must have been arranged a long way, but Nathan, who came from later generations, knew that Coppola would not shoot any blockbuster films at all in the next one or two years. Interest is placed on wine.
Yes, Coppola bought the 1,560 acres of Inglenook Winery in Napa Valley, California with the money he made from filming "The Godfather," and began to get involved in the wine industry. Three years later, he made the first vintage Rubicon. Red wine, this wine is also famous in later generations.
He didn't make any film at all, he just wanted to play wine.
"Also, in this script, I think there are some places that need to be revised." Coppola said: "If I remember correctly, for naval aviation, landing seems to be the most difficult and the most powerful. What about changing it to a ship landing accident? It must be very exciting!"
"No, this is different from our overall thinking." At this moment, Nathan said: "Our main line is that the protagonist caused a flight accident due to his maverick and violation of discipline. Through this accident, Learn from the lesson and eventually grow up. If it is changed to a ship landing accident, it will violate this main line. Because the ship landing accident happens by accident and is unpredictable. If this picture is taken, it may be counterproductive. "
This is a conscription movie that promotes the spirit of the navy. If you let the public know that naval aviation will sacrifice at any time, and every time you land on a ship, it seems like a fight with death, then who else wants to shoot it
"No, the landing accident, this scene is the most magnificent." Coppola still insisted.
"No, a training accident." Nathan insisted.
"Sorry, I won't take this script." Nathan's words clearly angered Coppola.
Great directors, popular directors, of course have style. Coppola only planned to shoot because he saw the commercial value of this film.
At the same time, great directors have their own preferences, and, to say nothing, just look at the shooting scene, and you will know the most powerful one.
Now, the other party didn't listen to Coppola's opinions, which made Coppola annoyed. He stood up and left, and Jenny was panicked.
"Mr. Coppola, we can sit down and discuss, please listen to me..."
"Boom!" The door was closed by Coppola, leaving Jenny with a dazed look.
"Nathan, did you do it on purpose?" Jenny turned around and looked at Nathan and said.
How many people want to meet the director of Coppola, they don't have time, and now, director Coppola has even read the script he sent over, which shows that they have the intention to shoot.
As a result, Nathan's stubbornness just now annoyed the great director with a few words, and the family slammed the door!
"No, the script cannot be changed, otherwise it will destroy the original continuous plot of the script." Nathan said: "Jenny, believe me, our film will definitely become a classic. If it is modified, it will not be perfect. Up."
This classic, just like the Titanic, cannot be changed. Nathan firmly believes in it.
Only laymen would feel how powerful the landing is. For every pilot, landing on the ship is an unforgettable memory again and again. Nathan clearly remembers that a pilot from the same squadron with him, every time after landing, It would take a long time to get off the gangway, which made the radar officer in the back seat very uncomfortable, because the two had to leave the fighter plane together and report to the bridge.
"When are you going to wait?" Once, the radar officer finally couldn't help it, and asked his companion.
"Wait until my legs stop shaking," the pilot said.
When he heard this sentence, the radar officer no longer complained. Landing was a heavy psychological burden for every carrier-based pilot. If this landing accident were filmed, it would be a nightmare for all pilots. No one wants an accident while landing!
"Then what shall we do now?" Jenny has given up complaining. Anyway, the director has left. This is now the hottest director in Hollywood. I didn't expect it to be messed up like this.
"Let's go, I'll take you to a place." Nathan said, picking up the helmet that was set aside.
Yes, Nathan didn't come here by car, he was riding a motorcycle.
Pilots don't like driving, but like riding motorcycles. When the wind blows on their bodies, they are like flying in the sky. This kind of feeling is not felt when driving.
After leaving the room and outside, Nathan stepped on his Harley motorcycle, which has a large grip and a very exaggerated shape.
Jenny sat in the back, she almost got used to it all the way, listening to the front Nathan twisting the accelerator, the motorcycle jumped forward.
But this time is different. Following that, the motorcycle stopped suddenly, and Jenny almost shouted, her body slammed forward uncontrollably, and the two big white rabbits had intimate contact with Nathan's back. .
Just before Jenny didn't react, she felt the car jump again and stopped again, so the white rabbit ran into it for the second time, and was hit with pain.
Jenny suddenly understood and pinched Nathan's back with her fingers, but when she touched it, she couldn't grasp it. There were muscles on it. It felt so good to the touch.
"Haha, let's go." Nathan teased Jenny, this time it started normally, and then speeded up quickly: "The way to get a person out of a bad mood is to fly with her!" (End of this chapter)
