I didn’t drink much last night, and after getting up in the morning, Yang Cheng didn’t feel too strongly hangover.

After looking at the time on his phone, he jumped up and rushed into the bathroom. After washing up quickly, he drove down Beverly Hills. He made an appointment with Sophia Coppola for brunch, but he couldn't break the appointment.

It is less than 9 a.m., and Beverly Hills is in peace. I am afraid this is also the quietest time in Beverly Hills. After experiencing the hustle and bustle of the night, the celebrities and nobles on Beverly Hills are recuperating at home so that they can get up and have fun at night.

Yang Cheng was in a hurry and rang the accelerator across the mountains.

Not to mention, the Rafana 12-cylinder engine may not be the best in terms of speed, but it must be outstanding in terms of wake-up, especially at Yang Cheng's feet. I don't know how many people were awakened by the roar of Rafa, covering the quilt and cursing.

If Yang Cheng had a gold finger system that could absorb resentment values, he would be able to exchange it for the aircraft carrier in just a short while.

White Rafa, shining with diamonds, came a sudden brake at the entrance of the Coppola family manor. Oppola was a small truck from a party service company. He was about to drive into the manor to do a finishing work, but was shocked by Rafa who rushed over and almost knocked the truck to the palm trees on the side of the road.

The driver was about to curse, but he saw Rafa's true face clearly. The cursed words were swallowed back. He could only hold back his grievances and raised his middle finger in a place where Yang Cheng couldn't see, as timid as he should be.

Just before going down the mountain, Yang Cheng sent a message notifying Sophia that as soon as he parked the car, he saw Sophia walking out in a big brimmed hat.

Now the temperature is around 20 degrees and the sun is shining, Sofia has also changed into a light spring dress and is very luxurious in high heels.

Yang Cheng got out of the car and opened the door for her, and thoughtfully stuffed the corner of the skirt that was placed outside into the car. Then he started the car again and continued down the mountain.

"Good morning jason, I thought you were going to be late." Sophia took off her sunglasses, took out a makeup mirror from her bag to check her makeup. She has been following Chanel's Lafayette since she was a child, and her fashion taste is also at the forefront in Hollywood, so she naturally cares deeply about her image.

Yang Cheng held the steering wheel and handed Sophia a glass of juice, "How could it be, the housekeeper just squeezed it~"

"Thank you~" Sofia took a sip with the straw, "It tastes great~"

Their brunch restaurant is located in West Hollywood. This caramel banana walnut muffin is very famous. Many Hollywood stars will come here to join a piece of whole wheat pastry cheesecake or extra-large whole egg sandwich. Many families will go out on weekends to enjoy brunch.

After ordering, Yang Cheng asked, "Tell me, Sofia, why did you ask me for dinner?"

Sofia pulled out a script from her bag, "This is my new project, looking for investment. The story tells the story of a northern colonel accidentally entered a southern women's boarding school during the American Civil War. His arrival also made the female teachers in the school feel excited, and the dark side of human nature such as jealousy and revenge gradually ferment."

Yang Cheng subconsciously frowned as soon as he heard this. Such stories basically do not have the possibility of selling well, and it is good to take the artistic award-winning route.

After opening it, I read it roughly. The story is not complicated. During the Civil War in the United States, Colonel John McBerney was injured in the left leg and fainted in the bushes. The girl Jane rescued him to a nearby women's boarding school to cultivate.

The female students convinced the school leader to take him in. As the health improved, the handsome colonel showed great charm. The two female teachers and four female students were jealous because of him, and undercurrents surged in the school.

After the affair between the colonel and Alicia was broken, the female teacher who was infatuated with him was deeply hurt and accidentally pushed the colonel downstairs.

Afterwards, the colonel's leg injury relapsed. Miss Martha had to make an decision to amputate him when he was in a coma. After awakening, the colonel was furious and wanted to take revenge against the girls' school, while Miss Martha and her students did not want to be controlled by him.

Another film that fully expresses the bad nature of a person!

Putting down the script, Yang Cheng pressed his right hand on it. There is no doubt about Sofia Coppola's ability to direct such a slightly thrilling romance film, but what he needs to consider is investment and cost issues. If he determines the winning route from the beginning, there will definitely not be too much investment.

Fortunately, this film doesn’t require too much scene. The cost is mainly used for the actors’ pay. With Yang Cheng’s understanding of this kind of art film, one or two big stars must be invited to attract attention. If this is not the case, 3 million is enough to shoot.

“How much investment do you need?”

Sophia raised a finger, "My budget is 10 million, I'm going to invite Nicole Kidman to play~"

Yang Cheng's brow was locked, and this number exceeded his expectations. What a joke, please Nicole Kidman? This woman is just a broom star, definitely a box office star. The movie will be released. Even for the sake of winning the award, she can't ignore the box office results at all.

He smiled in embarrassment, "Can't you find someone else?"

Sofia did not answer directly, and instead said, "I am going to bring this film to the Palme d'Or next year. If it is successfully won, it will be no problem to recover the cost."

Yang Cheng nodded. The theme of this film is definitely the favorite type of European directors and judges who are determined to be the directors and judges who are obsessed with art films. The more bloody the film, the happier the judges are, the greater the chance of winning the award. In addition, the commercial operation of Cannes, as long as the film does not have any flaws and the money is in place, the Palme d'Or is not unattainable.

However, the investment of 10 million is still too high.

"Sofia, 8 million, I can only give you an 8 million budget. New Era Pictures will be fully responsible for Cannes' public relations, and of course your cooperation will be indispensable at that time."

On his own project, Sofia was extremely determined, "10 million, no point can be lost. This is the most streamlined number I can get after making many budgets."

Yang Cheng tapped his finger on the script and fell into deep thought. Sophia was relaxed and ate the muffin gracefully, waiting patiently for Yang Cheng's reply.

At this time, Yang Cheng secretly hated that he was not a professional and could not analyze the prospects from this project. Moreover, he rarely paid attention to Sofia Coppola in his previous life. He had no impression of her works. If the result could be determined, he would not seem so entangled.

Forget it, leave the professional matters to professionals, "Can I give me the script? I'll take it back and look at the company's people and give you a reply as soon as possible."
