Heads Up Hollywood

According to the customs of Greek weddings, there will be a wedding banquet after the oaths are sworn in in the church.

At this banquet, the words of "Turan" father are the soul of the whole scene.

The actor who plays Nicole Kidman's Greek daddy is in his sixties, a true Greek, and has only had guest roles on TV before.

Fortunately, this role is not complicated, it just needs to show kindness, honesty and old-fashioned temperament.

For this old man, most of them are acting in their true colors.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the family dinner in Porto Carlos." The old man spoke English with a Greek accent, and he could make everyone laugh almost as soon as he spoke.

"Uh...uh...and Miller's family dinner." The old man's expression turned around a few times, "I was thinking about my son-in-law Ian Miller last night. The surname Miller comes from the Greek word The root 'Milo' means apple."

Dad is deeply proud that he is a Greek ethnicity who is the source of Western culture development, "Many people know that my surname is Portokalos, which comes from the Greek root 'Podokalokhi', which is orange. Meaning. Well, now we're clear, we've got apples tonight, we've got oranges, we've come from different backgrounds, but we've got the same basics, we're all fruit."

This is also the most heartwarming scene in the whole movie. As a strange father who always only thought of his daughter marrying a Greek, he showed enough fatherly love at the scene of his daughter's wedding.

Next, the father took out his life savings and bought a house as a wedding gift for his daughter, which was the biggest teardrop in the film.

This is a tradition of Greek culture. Americans do not have such a custom, and through such a lens, it is shown that the film is not discriminatory against Greek culture, but also respectful.

The filming went smoothly as usual, Tang En excitedly announced to everyone, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding is now complete!"

"Wow!"

Most of Tang En's core team participated in film production for the first time, and they were far more excited than others. Glenn Fierro directly opened his arms and rushed towards Tang En, "Oh my god, I actually participated in a movie , Tang En, big boss, you...you are my god!"

Tang En pushed him away with a look of disgust, "Get up, at this time, I prefer to hug women!" As he spoke, he laughed and opened his arms to Nicole Kidman.

Naturally, it was impossible for Nicole Kidman to agree to his request in public, and she gave him a cold look, completely ignoring him.

Amidst a burst of laughter, Sofia Coppola walked over generously and hugged Tang En, "Congratulations Tang En, you have finished another movie, I have a hunch that you will succeed this time. "

Tang En laughed, "Sophia, then I will lend you a good word."

At this time, Katherine Heigl also walked over with her waist twisted and her hips swaying, with a flattering smile on her pretty face and a sweet voice, "Congratulations, Tang En, and at the same time... Thank you for your time Take care of me since then."

Everyone in the crew was chilled, and "Bichi" 10,000 times was already cursing in their hearts.

Nicole Kidman and Sofia Coppola are familiar with it, and there is no look of contempt.

In Hollywood, there are countless beautiful girls who want to be stars. How can they succeed without a snack machine? Didn't Nicole Kidman get on Tom Cruise's lap too?

Don't make fun of anyone!

Tang En hugged her tightly and said, "Catherine, your acting skills still have problems and need to be honed. But I believe that as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to become a leading actress in ten years."

The previous words made Katherine Heigl feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and she almost fainted. Fortunately, the latter words rekindled her hope, "Thank you for your advice, Twain, I will work hard."

"Um."

Tang En nodded. For such a small person, he lost most of the novelty at the beginning, and he lost most of his interest. He said to Sophia: "The crew will be disbanded, let's go to your house?"

It was agreed in the morning that Tang En would visit Mr. Francis Coppola.

"Can."

Sophia noticed that Katherine Heigl was a little disappointed, and patted her on the back, "Let's start with TV dramas. Given your current situation, it is very difficult to make a good progress in the film industry. Even if it is Don En wants to help you, you must have enough strength to do it, right?"

Katherine Heigl smiled awkwardly, "Thank you Sophia, I understand."

...

The Coppola family has huge influence in the United States. This year's "Time Magazine" ranked it fourth in the United States, even higher than legendary families like Rockefeller.

Francis Coppola's home is not in the luxurious Beverly Hills, which is a gathering place for new celebrities. For the Coppola family, there is no need for such a display of identity.

His home is in Pasadena, which is also a well-known city under the jurisdiction of Los Angeles. It is not as crowded as Beverly Hills, and it is a resort with a mountain as its back.

Francis Coppola's house was so big that Tang En was almost dumbfounded.

The huge lawn is like a football field, a few clean streets, and a few motor vehicles are parked.

Pavilions, pavilions, sculpture fountains, exotic flowers and trees are dazzling.

Liv Tyler once said that when she arrived at Tang En's house, she felt like she had lived in a slum before.

Arriving at Francis Coppola's house, Dunn also felt Liv Tyler's feelings.

"It was all made decades ago, and it doesn't cost a lot of money." Sophia curled her lips again and again, obviously she doesn't like the family's shadow, just like her cousin Nicolas Cage.

After being recommended by Sophia, Tang En finally met this famous and legendary director.

Francis Coppola is a little fat, with a round face and a big beard. He dresses casually like an old friend meeting, adding a bit of affinity.

Tang En respected this great director from the bottom of his heart.

Not to mention anything else, his "The Godfather" trilogy, every once in a while, will be screened repeatedly in cinemas.

"The Godfather", which was produced for $6 million in 1972, has accumulated a box office of 245 million this year, not to mention its huge influence in the history of film worldwide.

"Hi, Mr. Coppola, I'm Twain. The film has just finished filming, and I came here to visit you specially, mainly to thank you for your help that day."

In front of such a big shot, Tang En didn't need to cover up, nor could he cover up.

That day, Dunn used such a lame excuse as "Sophia was harassed" to persuade Francis Coppola. Obviously, this could only be an "excuse".

With Francis' IQ, can you not understand the reason?

Who doesn't know that Sophia is his daughter? Not to mention a few gangsters in Chicago, even the Italian mafia elite would not dare to touch her.

Francis Coppola pointed to the chair, "Hollywood wants to maintain the dignity of Hollywood, it's no big deal."

Tang En couldn't help but be in awe.

Sure enough, Hollywood filmmakers, and the concept of capitalists who broke into Hollywood these years are completely two-dimensional!

The most typical example is Kirk Kerkorian, who has already bought three times and sold two times, and re-entered MGM last year, completely ruining a century-old store like MGM. Regardless of the harmony in Hollywood, a filmmaker like Francis Coppola, who has struggled in Hollywood all his life, has long hated it!

"It's a pity, the power of capital is getting stronger and stronger." Tang En expressed a feeling that didn't match his age.

Francis Coppola nodded slightly, "Seven years ago, Time Group acquired Warner; three years ago, Viacom acquired Paramount; two years ago, Disney acquired ABC for nearly $20 billion; last year, Time Warner 76 Billion dollars to acquire TBS. Recently, big news spread that Viacom is approaching CBS. Once the merger is completed, the cost may be nearly 40 billion dollars!"

Tang En was thoughtful, "There are also Columbia Pictures, which was acquired by Sony, and Fox Films, which was acquired by News Corporation. The taste of Hollywood has really changed a bit."

"It still tastes as good as before." Francis Coppola sighed, which was the emotion of the elders.

Tang En was a little strange. The two met for the first time, and their identities and statuses were so different. What does this Mr. Coppola mean by being so heart-to-heart?

"Don't you really think of me as your son-in-law?"

Tang En's face changed slightly, and he felt chills in his heart. He had to draw a clear line, "Sophia is my good friend. I hope she can be a pure and outstanding filmmaker, and not a tool for making money in the hands of capital."

Francis Coppola raised his eyelids, looked deeply at Tang En with his cloudy eyes, and smiled a little appreciatively.

During the phone call with her daughter during this period, Sophia had long praised this young boy as omnipotent and omnipotent. When I saw him today, he was indeed a very smart person.

"The dignity of the Coppola family cannot be trampled on by anyone. Sophia loves movies, and I understand that, but she is a woman after all, and Hollywood is very unfriendly to women. I am old, and it is difficult to protect her for too long, the times It’s changed, we old guys will eventually retire from the stage.”

Francis Coppola's voice was a bit bleak.

Even an absolute boss like him thinks he can't keep up with the times, which shows the serious penetration of capital into Hollywood.

Tang En immediately said: "Mr. Coppola, you are still young. In my opinion, you can still make movies for at least 20 years! As for Sofia, you don't have to worry, she is my good friend. Although Tang En has no skills , but it can also protect my friend from being wronged. If she likes Oscar, I will definitely help her with all my strength."

Francis Coppola admired the young man in front of him more and more, and his reaction was amazing.

Especially the quiet transaction negotiations, which are as stable as a mountain and as warm as water, have a sense of sight of a big boss of a brokerage company.

Deals, the norm in Hollywood.

"Well, I heard that your Oscar nomination...is something wrong?" Francis Coppola understood Tang En's thoughts.

Tang En sighed bitterly, "There is a problem. You know, I will only be twenty years old after the new year, and I am a little younger."

Francis Coppola waved his hands, "Age is not a problem! John was only 24 years old when he was nominated for an Oscar for "Boys From the Block". What kind of movie did he make? If the director of "Titanic" If it cannot be nominated, it is an Oscar joke!"

Tang En heaved a sigh of relief and finally smiled.

With the affirmation of this boss, his nomination should be indispensable.

"It's just...can you win an award?"

In his previous life, James Cameron actually won the Oscar for Best Director.
