Chapter 105 Coppola's Diary

Please recommend! Please bookmark it!

The sun disappeared behind the dunes, and Sofia Coppola walked towards the trailer where she lived, after finishing her busy work for a day, although she was not very tired, she was extremely tired, especially her ears, which were constantly stimulated by the loud explosion, were still aching faintly, and there were always some buzzing noises.

"Fortunately, I've gotten used to it for so long."

I walked to the trailer and looked at it habitually. It was Duke's residence. There was obviously no one. When that guy was working, he could only describe it as being focused. He had taken so many explosive shots today, and I don't know when he would get off work.

"Don't worry about him, isn't there Naomi Watts here?"

Sophia muttered, pulled away her trailer, walked in, took off her clothes covered with yellow sand, got into the bathroom, stood under the shower, and raised her head to welcome the warm water.

Perhaps the explosion created by the crew today was too large, and a lot of sand was also drilled into her hair.

Looking back on the afternoon shooting, Sophia felt her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Even though she adapted to Duke's shooting style, she saw a spacecraft model hundreds of feet long and was swallowed by the sea of ​​fire in the huge explosion. She still couldn't help but be frightened. The explosion crazier and destructive crazier actually set dozens of explosion points on the spacecraft model, and then exploded one after another like fireworks.

After taking a shower, Sophia wiped it briefly, and looked at it, it was not too late, so she wrapped a bath towel, sat in front of the table, took out a pen and a record book, and planned to write some work diary.

She doesn't write it every day, but whenever she has a new view on the movie, she will always write it down in time. It's not just the movie, but also the guy she serves.

The pen slowly circled around his fingertips, but after Sophia opened the book, she suddenly lost the motivation to write.

Putting down the pen, she did not close the book, but kept flipping, looking at some of the things recorded in the past, especially some of Duke's views on directorship, which seemed particularly interesting at this time.

At Warner Studios, I found that Duke was focused and hardworking, and was full of adventurous spirit. He would never say words like "impossible" and "unfeasible". No matter how big the problem was, he would not be shaken. Although he always faced pressure and endured anger, he always kept a calm mind and regarded himself as an independent outsider in the crew. He could always make timely criticisms and suggestions to the staff who made mistakes.

In post-production, Duke and Charles Rowan had different opinions. The two argued for two hours, and then he convinced each other. When Duke made the movie, he gave me a feeling that he was the Creator. He said that if there was light, there must be light, no matter what method he used. We discussed General Hanmo's approach to military advice in the movie. He firmly believed that human beings would not suddenly evolve to a certain stage, and then in an instant, he sang world peace hand in hand, and all the conspiracies disappeared.

It should be said that what I believe is that peace can be obtained through higher-level military force - perhaps it is this deeply entrenched view that influenced Duke's understanding of the film, who is always so obsessed with special effects, explosions and action fights.

"Independence Day" was launched, and it would be a super big production with a total investment of more than $100 million. Duke finally got all the power in the set and post-production, all of which he deserved. Most people, including me, have this understanding - Duke will always be the director with a strong desire for control and destruction from the set, and we all live under his powerful aura and have few say!

October 3, 1993, sunny...

Duke finally arrived at the Duke Studio. I smelled the perfume and the smell of a woman from him. The scent of smoke after the burning numbness. He went to a party of a female model yesterday. He could guess what he did without thinking! Duke also admitted that he was with Charlize Theron and Cameron Diaz last night. I started arguing with him. I found that I could not suppress my inner anger at all, nor did I want to suppress it!

I asked him, after just achieving a little success, did he forget the importance of hard work? Did he forget the high investment in the film being prepared? I warned him that if the movie fails, he will be worthless and defeated! Too much addiction to women will only bring obstacles!

Sofia, I want you to understand one thing - once we start this adventure and the film starts shooting, there is nothing that can stop me, no matter how beautiful and sexy a woman is, can’t! The only way to stop me is to kill me!

Duke answered me, I looked into his eyes, and then found that he really thought so - he would not hand over his fate to anyone, but would only hold it in his own hands!

A "dongdong" knock sounded suddenly outside the trailer. Sophia put away her notebook and walked over to open the door. There was a girl who was not tall standing outside. This was the youngest among the main actors of the crew.

"Ska, is there anything wrong?" Sophia just showed her head.

"It's almost time to start, mom asked me to ask you if you go there together?" Scarlett took a step up, "Can I get in?"

"certainly."

Although the little girl was a little troubled, Sophia liked her very much and let her in, "Sit down and I'll change my clothes."

After changing his clothes, Sophia took Scarlett Johnson to the dining car to meet with Melanie Sloan who had passed by earlier.

"Have you finished your study class today?" Sofia asked, pulling her.

"It's done, so boring." Scarlett's brows frowned, "Why should my scenes be filmed in total instead of focusing on a few days? Is Duke's objection to me again?"

"Dear, Duke is doing business during the filming," Sophia turned her head and said seriously. "Although strictly speaking, you are his sister, if you make a mistake, he will not show mercy. Ska, any director will do this."

"Why are you always talking for Duke?" Scarlett's eyes turned and suddenly changed the subject, "Sophia, you won't like Duke like that Naomi Watts?"

"This is not something you should care about." Sofia shook her head.

"Tsk, I'll be ten soon." Scarlett looked at Sophia's face, not seeing anything special, and said, "It won't take long to get a boyfriend."

Two women, one big and one small, walked into the huge tent connecting the dining car while joking. This is a public restaurant where the crew eats. However, except for the rental trailers and dining carts, most of the facilities are actually provided by the military, and the Pentagon does provide a lot of convenience for the crew.

"I saw Duke." Scarlett pointed to a dining table near the corner of the tent. "He was sitting with the nasty woman Naomi Watts."

"Hate?" Sophia couldn't help but feel puzzled, "Has she done to you?"

"When I was at Warner Studios, I once sent an ice cream to Duke." Scarlett Johnson waved to his mother, then walked to Duke's table, and whispered to Sophia while walking, "Duke was busy, so he put it aside for the time being. As a result, after she went, she threw my ice cream into the trash can."

"I'm so angry! I'm very angry!" she muttered, "I don't like her at all. If she is Duke's girlfriend, I will definitely say bad things about her to my godmother. Duke respects the most is the godmother."

Sofia couldn't help but roll her eyes. This little girl was really a big trouble.

“Hi, Duke.”

Just as she was about to reach the dining table, Sophia found that Scarlett Johnson immediately changed into a naive and cute smile, trotted over, moved a chair and sat next to Duke, "I originally wanted to have a meal in the trailer, but I miss you, so I came to find you."

Pulling over a chair, Sophia sat next to Scarlett.

"What do you want to eat?" Duke took a glass, picked up a bottle of Gatorade from Naomi Watts's cup, and poured a glass for the little guy, "I'll treat you today."

Duke also received a call from his mother yesterday asking him to take care of her cute goddaughter.

"Let's not do it anymore." Scarlett took the cup and shook his head. "I'll go to New York in a few days. Can you treat me to New York? Also, it's the Super Bowl soon. I heard from my godmother that Santa Fia held a midfield event. Can you take me to participate?"

After thinking for a while, seeing the expectant eyes on the small face, Duke nodded slowly, "I can take you to Atlanta to watch the Super Bowl, don't be happy, Ska! There are two conditions. First, you must show more than I expected during the shooting, and second, you have to convince your mother yourself!"

"I promise to do it!" Scarlett smiled happily.

"Super Bowl?" Naomi Watts on the other side seemed to be interested, "It's better for us to go to Atlanta together."

Duke hadn't spoken yet, Scarlett Johnson asked anxiously, "Together? Are you going too, Nami?"

Seeing the other party nodding, she pretended to be strange and scratched her blonde hair, "Nami, are you Duke's girlfriend?"

"Do you understand love too, Ska?" The unnatural flashes on Naomi Watts's face. Under the cover of his increasingly outstanding acting skills, no one could notice it. "You are still so young."

"Of course!" Scarlett nodded vigorously.

"Ska, what do you want to eat?"

Duke stood up and interrupted the topic that was not suitable for the discussion now. After hearing the little girl's name of several meals, she waved her head to Sophia and Naomi Watts, "Let's go get dinner."

The three of them turned toward the dining cart. Behind them they could not see, Scarlett Johnson reached out to take Naomi Watts' cup, spit a big mouthful of saliva into the Gatorade inside, and then deliberately shook it. After careful observation, he felt that there was no abnormality and put it back in place.
