Made in Hollywood
Chapter 263 The mother can be tamed
Is this your yacht?
Crossing the long trestle and walking to the yacht parked on the dock, Zach Snyder ended his chat with Sofia Coppola, looked up at Duke on the yacht, and said loudly, This guy is too small. No? I thought it was at least a hundred feet long.
Sophia's monotonous nose sounded, with a hint of sarcasm, Zach, do you think the displacement of a yacht with a length of more than 100 feet, can it be parked in a shallow beach?
She turned to look at the yacht and teased, Duke, why didn't you see your girlfriend?
girlfriend?
Standing in the high driver's seat, Duke was checking out the equipment to go out to sea, when he turned around and looked at Sophia, What girlfriend? Honey, you know I've always been single.
Tina, hand me the bag with the fishing tackle. Duke said to the female assistant again.
It was the weekend, and after being busy for nearly three weeks, Duke simply invited two friends to go out to sea to relax.
As Tina Fey walked past Sofia Coppola with a few tackle bags on her back, she whispered, Miss Zeta Jones was asked by Nancy and Panney to move out in March.
Seeing Tina Fey get on the yacht, Duke waved to Zach Snyder and Sofia Coppola below, What are you waiting for? Come on, we're leaving.
Zach Snyder and Sofia Coppola got on the yacht and sat in the open cabin below. The yacht was only forty feet long, but it was enough for four people.
Although he learned from the coach for a while, Duke's driving skills can only be said to be average. Fortunately, the surrounding sea is flat and sandy, there is enough space for him to display, and the yacht draws a particularly large arc. The speed gradually increased, leaving the shallow beach and rushing towards the Pacific Ocean in the distance.
However, this is an offshore sports yacht, and Duke won't run too far to add a pair of sunglasses to the bridge of his nose. After a few hundred feet from the shore, instead of going forward, turn around and follow the coastline along the offshore channel.
I thought we were going to swim back soon.
Zach Snyder's voice came from below, and Duke took time to look back. He was pouring drinks for Tina Fey and Sofia Coppola. I didn't expect Duke's driving skills to be not bad.
Zach, if you want to swim back, I don't think anyone will object. Duke gradually reduced the speed of the yacht. You can jump off now, there must be sharks waiting for you in the sea. Still a female shark.
As long as it's female. Zach Snyder raised his glass to the driver's seat, I'm confident in taming it!
This made everyone who wore it laughed, Sophia picked up the bottle of red wine and poured it for Zach Snyder. sarcastically, One day. You'll fall on women.
Zach Snyder didn't care, and touched the glass with Sophia, I heard that you are preparing an experimental film? Do you need me to recommend some actresses for you?
I'll call you if necessary.
After saying this, Sofia Coppola asked curiously. Let's be honest, Zach, how many women are you dating at the same time?
Not many, just a few, just for fun. Zach Snyder smiled and saw a lot of things thoroughly, I know why they stay by my side, if their careers improve a little, I will It's going to be a breakup soon.
You can go to a first-line actress.
Having been acquainted with these people for a long time, Tina Fei came over and said, With your capital, it is not difficult.
Get a first-line actress? Zach Snyder shook his head directly, Then I will have no freedom. Do you think those big-name actresses can tolerate me continuing to associate with others? And I have to prevent them from cheating anytime, anywhere. , you will even find out in the end that the person who stole his girlfriend may still be a woman.
Zach, it seems that you have had painful memories. Duke replied.
After some manipulations, he parked the yacht on the open sea, jumped out of the driver's seat, took the wine glass handed by Tina Fey, and sat beside Sofia Coppola.
Yeah, there are painful memories. Zach Snyder touched Duke's glass of wine, took a sip, and said frankly, I used to be madly infatuated with Jodie Foster, and I also tried to After pursuing her, who knew she turned out to be a lace edge!
Why don't you try to straighten her up?
Hearing Duke's joking words, Zach Snyder was puzzled, Break straight?
Duke explained simply, It's about getting her sexuality back to normal.
I don't think I'm that charismatic yet. Zach Snyder shrugged. It's just an impossible task.
The four of them drank a glass of red wine, took out the fishing tackle, and sat on the side of the boat.
Putting the fishing rod on the buckle on the side of the boat, Duke asked Sophia next to him, How's your movie going?
The film copyright of the novel has been taken down. Sofia Coppola grabbed the fishing rod, thought about it, and said, After the experimental film is over, the project will start, and my father has promised to be the producer. If it goes well, the film will be released next year. It can be done.”
Duke nodded, If you need help, just ask.
Yes. Sophia was not polite to him, I'm talking to Warner Bros. about distribution.
I'll call them.
This is one of the few friends, and Duke will not refuse a small favor within his power.
Over there, Zach Snyder just threw the hook into the sea, and when he heard Duke and Sophia's words, he said aloud, Sophia, you got an investment so soon? I thought you were going to ask Duke for help?
Sofia Coppola turned around and shrugged over there, Actually, there are still people who like me.
Of course, everyone knows that the main source of funding for Sofia's new film is the Coppola family.
How about you, Zach?
These things have already been said, and Sophia doesn't need to worry about it, she asks directly, Have you found a suitable project?
I'm not like you. Zach Snyder shook his finger at her. I'm not interested in low-budget literary films. I'm waiting for the opportunity to make big investments and big productions.
Actually, there's a chance soon. He winked at Sophia.
Duke's own time is limited, and the sequels of some films may be delayed for too long. Zach Snyder has worked with him for more than five years. The two have similar ideas and are deeply influenced by him. Now the ability is basically not a problem. , is undoubtedly the most suitable successor.
After I said it, I came out to relax, but the topic turned to the movie, and work became the focus of discussion among several people.
I heard that you have pushed Keanu Reeves' remuneration to a lower level? Sophia asked.
The salary of $7 million is not low at all. Zach Snyder replied, It is very high among second-tier actors, don't forget, his Speed 2 starring is now released for two weeks, and the North American box office It's only a little over $20 million, and the past few movies haven't been good at the box office.
Just like Zack Snyder said, several consecutive films have average box office, especially Life and Death 2, even Keanu Reeves' agent can't call out the remuneration of first-line male stars, negotiate China initially offered $10 million plus a 10 percent share of the box office's net profit, which was directly rejected by Duke and Robin Grande.
If it is Keanu Reeves after Speed of Life and Death, it is completely worth the price, but after sinking for nearly 5 years, his appeal is not as good as before, and finally the two sides reached an agreement on the figure of 7 million US dollars.
Keanu Reeves is not only the highest paid actor on the crew, but his $7 million is more than all the other actors combined.
When are you going to Australia? Sophia asked again.
Putting the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, Duke replied, Next week, now that the actor contract has been finalized, it's time to sign, and ILM, I'm waiting for the special effects team of ILM, as long as they are ready, The entire crew will be moved to Sydney.
The special effects of The Matrix are still outsourced to Industrial Light and Magic.
Uncle Lucas and his crew are in Australia too.
Seeing Duke's questioning eyes, Sophia explained, I went to San Francisco some time ago, and I heard from Amanda Lucas that the Australian government gave Lucasfilm great tax benefits, Star Wars. The prequel could also find suitable locations like jungle and desert there, so he decided that the main shooting of the film would be in Australia.
She smiled playfully, The scenes of the Star Wars studio will also be placed in the Fox Studios in Sydney. After calculating the time, filming will almost start.
It will be much easier for me to communicate with George in the future.
Hearing Sophia's explanation, Duke soon realized that a crew like Star Wars is a hot commodity in any country.
Several people talked about George Lucas' new Star Wars, and the topic gradually turned to Duke's new movie.
Duke, Charlize Theron called me in the morning, Tina Fey reminded Duke. She said she couldn't understand what the script was about.
This is not surprising to Duke. Most of the Hollywood stars can only be said to be very educated. Remember that Sean Connery rejected the role of Morpheus because he could not read the script. Cool scumbag black people.
It doesn't matter, go back and tell her, it doesn't matter if she doesn't understand it, as long as she understands what her character should do in what scenario.
The sun was gradually approaching the sea level, and the wind at sea was also increasing. Duke did not wait for the sun to set before driving the yacht back to the pier equipped with the manor. In the evening, more team members were invited to the beach at home. After a small relaxation party, the whole crew will be heading to Sydney next week, and most of these people will stay in Australia for more than a year or more in the next year. (To be continued ~^~)
PS: Three shifts can be completed today, and there will be another shift after nine o’clock~~
