Chapter 318 Inside Information on the Dining Table

Francis Coppola hurriedly said: "No no no, Sophia, 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, and of course my daughter does too. 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 in dissatisfaction.

Roman Coppola shrugged and lowered his head quickly, while Cage didn't mean to speak at all, although he agreed with Eric's point of view, because he had seen his cousin's performance before, that feeling ... not to mention.

Seeing that the atmosphere was beginning to change, Sophia hurriedly said: "Dad, don't say it, I know you love me very much, and I love you very much, so I hope that "The Godfather 3" can be even better. I have made up my mind. Got the 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 younger daughter with some doting: "Okay, Sophia, I'll let that Winona Ryder try it out."

Roman Coppola's eccentricity towards his father is helpless.

After thinking for a while, he said to his sister with a wicked smile, "Sophia, since Eric Williams suggested this to you, then you should ask him to compensate you for a role."

"Hmph, I'm not as cheeky as you are," the girl snorted softly, burying her head and continuing to eat breakfast.

Francis Coppola did not reprimand his son this time, but said with emotion: "Indeed, the star-making ability of Eric Williams' movies is too powerful. From the little boy in "Home Alone" to the end of the year The actress from Australia, who seems to be named Nicole Kidman. Now she has become a first-line actress. I heard that Tom Cruise not only rejected the invitation of "The Ghost Story", but also made a lot of 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 in dissatisfaction.

"Sister, what Dad said is absolutely right. Tom Cruise's actions this time are indeed a bit stupid. Although he has been popular for ten years, the box office results of his personal films are very unstable. More What's more, Tom Cruise also has a fatal flaw. He doesn't have any hot-selling series of movies by his side. In this case, once the movies he starred in have encountered several box office failures in a row, they will soon be removed from the first-line stars. step back from your seat."

The girl asked unconvinced: "Many famous Hollywood actors do not have a series of movies to rely on."

Roman Coppola continued: "It doesn't matter if there are many people, such as Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and other acting stars, they can gain enough popularity with their acting skills. But Cruise Different, do you remember the very popular "Grease" and "The Officer and the Gentleman" a long time ago?"

The girl nodded: "I know."

"Grease's actor John Travolta and "The Officer and the Gentleman" actor Richard Gere. They were both idol stars back then, but in these years, who can see them in Hollywood Their shadow? As for the reason. It is because after these two masterpieces, they were unlucky and did not encounter any big-selling movies again. Tom Cruise is similar to their route, but his luck is good, Every few years he comes across a blockbuster movie that keeps him at the top of Hollywood, where luck is the most unreliable thing."

Francis Coppola also nodded approvingly to his son.

Sofia Coppola also showed a thoughtful look: "You mean, if he has another hot-selling series, even if his popularity slips, he can still gain popularity by restarting the sequel?"

"Of course. Look at Harrison Ford, his popularity has fallen a lot in the past few years. But last year's "Indiana Jones", he returned to the ranks of A-list stars very easily." Roman Coppola said He suddenly lowered his voice again, and said in a somewhat gossip tone: "Also, I heard at a party before that Tom Cruise's very capable manager, like Paula Wagner, had already worked for Ke Ruth was looking for a movie series, but Eric Williams got the rights to the TV series."

Sofia Coppola immediately approached her brother with gossip and asked with great interest, "What TV show, I'll look for the videotape to watch?"

Roman Coppola stirred the dinner plate in front of him with a fork before he said, "It seems to be called "Mission Impossible," but that TV series is very old, and you definitely won't find the videotape."

"Cough, okay, let's stop talking, let's eat quickly," Francis Coppola said dissatisfiedly as he watched a pair of sons and daughters put their heads together, and muttered like two conspiring little mice. He said to Cage on the other side: "Nick, work harder this time in 'The Ghost' and try to have a good relationship with Eric Williams, which 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 a lot of Hollywood rules that most people don't know, although the Coppolas always chatted with her from time to time, making her feel uncomfortable at all. She was left out in the cold, but the girl still felt that she shouldn't be here at all.

After breakfast, Jennifer Connelly hurriedly said goodbye to the Coppolas. She still had another thing in mind, 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 sedan parked more than ten meters to the west of Coppola's gate at a glance. His agent Jim Rest was anxiously Looking at the door, seeing her coming out, he immediately waved to the girl excitedly, Connery stepped up and walked over.

I received a call from Eric last night. Jim Rest did not sleep well all night and was in a slightly excited state, but he could not contact Connelly until morning. Jim Rest Cheeky called Tony Brandt, and although the other party's tone was stinky, he still told him Connery's whereabouts.

Therefore, Jim Rest came to Coppola's house early in the morning, but after arriving, Jim Rest 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 step forward, so he could only wait stupidly 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 did not agree on the phone. It was not said that the two of them would go together, but Jim Rest naturally felt that Eric must mean this, and, with Jennifer Connelly, Jim Rest would have more confidence in his heart.

"Morning, Jim," Jennifer Connelly greeted her with a guilty conscience as she walked to her agent.

The manager didn't have time to chat with her, and said quickly, "Jenny, get in the car quickly, we'll talk about it on the way."

"Well, I... Am I going too?" the girl asked hesitantly.

Jim Rest nodded: "Of course, Eric Williams definitely wants to see you."

The girl was dizzy and was dragged into the car by the agent, and soon arrived at the headquarters of Firefly Films. Jim Lester led the girl to the front desk and said a few words to the lady at the front desk.

The lady at the front desk looked at the record and said politely, "Sir, are you Jim Rest? Mr. Williams greeted you, just go to him directly, 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'm sure he'll 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, "You two, please go up, Mr. Williams' office is in Room 706 on the seventh floor."

After Jim Lester thanked him, he walked towards the elevator with the girl.

"Jenny, this time... don't be willful anymore, okay?" In the elevator, Jim Rest hesitated for a moment, and finally said.

Jennifer Connelly was silent for a while, then nodded silently.

Jim Rest was relieved, and couldn't help but consoled: "Eric Williams is single now, and Hollywood doesn't know how many women are eyeing him, and he obviously likes you very much, 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 had a deep experience this year."

"Um……"

...

In the office, Eric was focused on two things. While listening to Allen's description of his work schedule in the past few days, he quickly looked down at the information about the Hollywood special effects company submitted by the consulting company. Eric did not read the details. The detailed content, but just to find out if there is a better special effect team in memory.

He is still very superstitious about memory. If some people in the past life have done very well, this time and space, with his help, will definitely be able to do even better.

Very, Eric found a familiar name, Stan Winston Studio. (To be continued)
