Francis Coppola hurriedly said: "No no no, Sophia, you have to believe in yourself, you have great potential, don't listen to that little guy's old-fashioned words, he can achieve that kind of achievement at the age of nineteen, of course my daughter Can."
"Dad, I think Williams is right," Sofia Coppola's brother Roman Coppola suddenly raised his head and said.
"Roman!" Francis Coppola glared at his son dissatisfied.
Roman Coppola shrugged and quickly lowered his head, but Cage didn't mean to speak at all, although he also agreed with Eric's point of view, because he had seen his cousin's performance before, that feeling ... It doesn't matter if you don't say it.
Seeing that the atmosphere had started to change, Sophia quickly smoothed things over and said, "Dad, stop talking, I know you love me very much, and I love you very much, so I hope that "The Godfather 3" will be even better. I've made up my mind An idea, like Nick, start with a small role, didn’t Mr. Tim Burton recommend a girl named Winona Ryder to you before, I heard that her performance is very good, maybe you can let her try."
Francis Coppola glared at his son, and soon turned to his little daughter dotingly: "Okay, Sophia, I'll let that Winona Ryder try."
",
Roman Coppola was helpless about his father's partiality. After thinking for a while, he said to his sister with a smirk: "Sofia, since Eric Williams suggested this to you, then you should let him compensate you You have a role."
"Hmph, I'm not as thick-skinned as you," the girl snorted softly. I buried my head and continued to eat breakfast.
Francis Coppola did not reprimand his son this time. Instead, he said with some emotion: "Indeed. The star-making ability of Eric Williams' movies is too strong, from the little boy in "Home Alone" to the one from Australia at the end of the year, who seems to be named Nicole Kidd Mann's actresses are now A-list actors. I heard that Tom Cruise not only rejected the invitation of "Ghost Story", but also uttered nonsense about this movie, what a stupid guy."
"Hey, Dad. Cruise is one of my idols, how can you say that about him?" Sofia Coppola raised her face dissatisfied.
"Sister, what Dad said is right. Tom Cruise's actions this time are indeed a bit stupid. Although he has been popular for ten years, the box office performance of his personal movies is very unstable. More What's more, Tom Cruise has a fatal flaw. He doesn't have any hit series of movies. Step back from your seat."
The girl asked unconvinced: "Many famous actors in Hollywood don't have a series of movies to rely on."
Roman Coppola continued: "It doesn't matter if many people don't have it. Acting stars such as Al Pacino and Robert De Niro can gain enough popularity with their acting skills. But Cruise No, do you still remember the very popular "Grease" and "An Officer and a Gentleman" a long time ago?"
The girl nodded: "I know."
"John Travolta, the leading actor in "Grease" and Richard Gere, the leading actor in "An Officer and a Gentleman", they were also considered idol stars back then, but who can still see them in Hollywood these years? Their shadows? As for the reason, it was because after these two masterpieces, they were unlucky and did not encounter any big-selling movies. Tom Cruise was on the same path as them, except that he was very lucky. Every few years, he can encounter a blockbuster movie, which keeps him in the front line of Hollywood, but in Hollywood, luck is the most unreliable thing."
Francis Coppola gave his son a rare nod of approval.
Sofia Coppola also showed a thoughtful look: "You mean, if he has another hit series, even if his popularity drops, he can gather popularity by restarting the sequel?"
"Of course, if you look at Harrison Ford, his popularity has dropped sharply in the past few years, but last year with "Raiders of the Lost Ark", he easily returned to the ranks of first-line stars." Roman Coppola said Then, suddenly lowered his voice again, and said in a gossip tone: "Besides, I heard at a party before that Tom Cruise's very capable agent, who seems to be called Paula Wagner, had originally Ruth found a series of film projects, but the rights to adapt the related TV series were acquired by Eric Williams."
Sofia Coppola immediately wentssiped to her brother, and asked with great interest: "What TV series, I'll go and watch the videotapes?"
Roman Coppola stirred the dinner plate in front of him with a fork, and then said, "It seems to be called "Mission: Impossible", but that TV series is very old, and you must not be able to find the video tape."
"Ahem, well, stop chatting, let's eat quickly," Francis Coppola said dissatisfiedly as he watched a pair of sons and daughters put their heads together, muttering like two plotting little mice, and then Then he said to Cage on the other side: "Nick, work harder in "Ghost Love" this time, try to build a good relationship with Eric Williams, it will definitely be of great help to your future development .”
"I know, uncle," Nicolas Cage nodded.
Jennifer Connelly listened to the family casually chatting about the inside story of various Hollywood rules that most people would never know. Although the Coppola family always chatted with her from time to time, she didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. Although she was neglected, the girl still felt that she should not be here at all.
After breakfast, Jennifer Connelly hurriedly bid farewell to the Coppola family. She still had another thing in mind, the thing that Eric asked her agent to go to Firefly to find him at ten o'clock today.
Just after walking out of Coppola's mansion, Jennifer Connelly saw a silver-gray car parked more than ten meters to the west of Coppola's gate. His agent Jim Lester was anxiously Looking at the gate, the moment she saw her coming out, he waved excitedly at the girl, and Connery walked over quickly.
Received a call from Eric last night. Jim Lester didn't sleep well all night and was in a slightly excited state, but he couldn't contact Connery until the morning. Jim Lester was thick Cheeky called Tony Brandt, and although the other party's tone was foul, he still told him Connery's whereabouts.
Therefore, Jim Lester came to Coppola's house early in the morning, but after arriving, Jim Lester was a little uncertain. How could Jennifer Connelly be staying here? This is Hollywood Francis Coppola, one of the four directors.
Therefore, he didn't even have the courage to go forward, and could only wait foolishly near the gate, hoping that Jennifer Connelly would come out early so that he could take the girl to the Firefly Film Company, although Eric didn't say anything on the phone. It didn't say that the two of them went together, but Jim Lester naturally felt that Eric must mean that, and, with Jennifer Connelly, Jim Lester could have more confidence in his heart.
"Morning, Jim," Jennifer Connelly walked to the agent and greeted with a guilty conscience.
The manager didn't have so much time to greet her, so he said quickly, "Jenny, get in the car, we'll talk on the way."
"Well, I... Shall I go too?" the girl asked hesitantly.
Jim Lester nodded: "Of course, Eric Williams definitely wants to see you."
Dizzy, the girl was dragged into the car by her agent, and soon arrived at the headquarters of Firefly Film Company. Jim Lester led the girl to the front desk and said a few words to the receptionist.
The lady at the front desk looked at the record and said politely: "Sir, are you Jim Lester? Mr. Williams has greeted you, so just go up and look for him, but he didn't mention this lady."
Jennifer Connelly's eyes suddenly became a little sad, but Jim Lester said: "Mr. Williams must have forgotten, can you inform him that Miss Jennifer Connelly is also here, I believe he has let us go up together."
The front desk lady looked at Jennifer Connelly, nodded reluctantly, picked up the phone and dialed for a while, and then said, "Both, please go up. Mr. Williams' office is in room 706 on the seventh floor."
After Jim Lester thanked him, he led the girl towards the elevator.
"Jenny, this time... don't be self-willed anymore, okay?" In the elevator, Jim Lester hesitated for a moment, and finally said.
Jennifer Connelly was silent for a while, and nodded silently.
Jim Lester breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but comfort him: "Eric Williams is single now, and how many women in Hollywood are staring at him, and he obviously likes you, if you can become His girlfriend will be of great help to your future development. Hollywood is very realistic, and I think you must have a deep understanding this year."
"Um… "
…
In the office, Eric focused on two things. While listening to Allen's description of his work schedule for the past few days, he lowered his head and quickly looked through the information about Hollywood special effects companies submitted by the consulting company. Eric didn't look at the details. The detailed content, but only to find out whether there is a relatively good special effects team in memory in the data.
He is still very superstitious about memory. If some people in the memory of the previous life did a good job, in this time and space, with his help, they will definitely be able to do a better job.
Very soon, Eric found a familiar name, Stan Winston Studio. (To be continued..)
