"Thank you for all this for Sofia." Francis Coppola came here specifically to say hello to Ronan: "With your help, Sofia's new film could not be as smooth as it is now."

Ronan shook hands with him and said with a little humility: "Mr. Coppola, you are so polite. It was Sophia who brought a masterpiece to the entertainment of relativity."

Francis Coppola had a very good impression of Ronan and said, "If you need help in the future, just call me."

He exchanged business cards with Ronan, said politely, and said goodbye to other places.

Ronan held up Francis Coppola's business card, no matter what, it was a good fate.

Francis Coppola's influence is indeed no more than twenty years ago, but no one can ignore the Coppola family, especially Francis Coppola has an old relationship with many people in Hollywood, and has extraordinary relationships.

For example, George Lucas, Francis Coppola can even be said to be George Lucas' half-film teacher in his early years.

"It's just a lucky person with a good family background..."

I don't know who's muttering came here, and Ronan turned to see that the person who was talking was a middle-aged woman with a strange face.

This middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance noticed Ronan's gaze, knew that she had made up her words, and immediately walked away.

Ronan has no idea of ​​asking for trouble. This is the fact, but this fact needs to be divided into two parts.

First of all, if it weren't for the surname Coppola, Sofia Coppola would not have had the influence he has today, nor would it have been a success after being frustrated in the actors.

Secondly, family background itself is part of personal abilities. A good family background has brought many convenient conditions to Sofia Coppola, and also gives her the opportunity to come into contact with and learn various skills in the director industry, so that she can easily start in the directorial field.

Strictly speaking, Ronan's situation is similar to Sofia Coppola. It can develop to this day and is inseparable from family background.

If it weren't for an old small production company, how could it be that the financing would be successful at that time?

The film tour proceeded very smoothly. Sofia Coppola was like stars lying on the moon, with Francis Coppola and George Lucas appearing to canvass the votes. It is estimated that most of the people who come to participate in the film tour tournament will vote for Sofia Coppola and "Lost Tokyo" when the vote is nominated.

The Embassy Film Industry is also trying to do its work, and various public relations meetings and publicity activities have also been released.

The key awards for this film are three: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress and Best Director.

Of course, at this stage, you are nominating. You must first ensure that you get the nomination before you can talk about other things.

Scarlett Johnson's best supporting actress is not difficult to nominate, and it is also difficult to win an award.

As for the Best Actress, a film called "The Devil" has begun to be previewed. Only those who have watched this film know how far Charlize Theron has fought for the heroine.

Someone once compared the photos of Charlize Theron dressed up in 2000 with the photos with makeup when he starred in "The Devil" and not only did he look like two people, but he was also just two extremes of human beings.

The extremes of beauty and ugliness.

Young and beautiful actresses are all God’s favorites, but if you want to win the Oscar for Best Actress, you always have unwritten unspoken rules - you must destroy your image!

I vaguely remember that Charlize Theron had some large-scale dramas in "The Devil", and I guess few people would be interested...

In addition, if you get the nomination for Best Picture and Best Director, you will win, and you don’t have to think about winning the award.

"The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" is about to be released. This literary masterpiece with a special status in the history of European and American fantasy literature was adapted into a movie and has been greatly successful. Now that the trilogy is about to be completed, Oscars will obviously give it their affirmation.

Although the film is just as juvenile as the original work, and the characters in it are either black or white, no one can deny the greatness of the trilogy.

The most important thing is that Tolkien is dead!

Oscars have always been generous in treating rewards related to those who have passed away, such as the former clown. Someone can win a performance award as a superhero comic character, which is unimaginable in the Oscars' history for more than 70 years.

But when a person dies, Oscars will show it.

In fact, since the first two plots of "The Lord of the Rings" were released, and only a few technical awards were won at the Oscars, many discerning people could see that the judges were waiting for the end of the trilogy.

In mid-December, "Return of the King" was released in North America, and it turns out that the quality of the film is worthy of everyone's waiting.

This is definitely the highest peak of a magic movie, although the length of the movie will cause bladder pain to many movie fans.

In the future, when the real director's editing version is released and launched, you need to take a long time to watch it, otherwise you will never finish it.

In fact, in the "Lord of the Rings" series, some battle scenes will be inexplicable. The theater screening version is not explained very clearly. These are the editor and director Peter Jackson's fault.

In the version edited by the director, the battle scenes are too long, which makes the film too long. The length of the film is directly related to the number of screenings in a single day, thus becoming a key factor affecting the box office. The versions released in the theater can only use scissors to fight scenes on the basis of ensuring smooth narratives.

The most typical examples are the Minastiris siege in "Return of the King", the Battle of Palano Plains and the Battle of Black Gate.

There is also "The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies".

I believe many viewers will be curious about the goats riding on Thorin Oak Shield. Do these mighty mounts fall from the sky? Peter Jackson has always liked to play the condor from the sky. When did he change to play the goats from the sky?

After watching the director's edited version of DVD, I actually understand all of these.

The goat does not appear suddenly, it is because of editing.

Of course, Peter Jackson will take the blame.

"Return of the King" is a masterpiece, and its biggest flaw is undoubtedly that it is too lengthy, but this does not prevent it from becoming the number one popular Oscar when it was released.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy has a grand and perfect ending, and the unfinished ending can be said to be everyone's biggest concern before.

Peter Jackson, a man born specifically for the adaptation of Tolkien, ultimately did not make worries a reality.

When Ronan went to watch this movie, he also relived the passionate years.

In that young era, how many people were excited by the pre-war inspiration of the Perano Plain of King Hiyoudon, and how many were excited by the shouts before the Aragon Black Gate.

In that era Ronan once experienced, was there any magical movie that could catch up with the Lord of the Rings trilogy? Even the Harry Potter series has a gap.

At the same time, "Lost Tokyo" began to expand its screening scale with great fanfare. Starting from mid-December, the film expanded to 200 theaters. Although it is still screened on a single screen in each theater, with the support of promotion and good reputation, the box office did not collapse after the expansion of the screening.

In the first weekend after the expansion of the screening, "Lost Tokyo"'s box office revenue soared by $3.62 million, and the single-stage box office revenue exceeded $15,000.

The total North American box office revenue has reached US$6.67 million, exceeding the production cost.

And the expanded screening has just begun.

Based on various data feedback from "Lost Tokyo", the Embassy Film Company will maintain communication with theaters and gradually increase the number of screening theaters, but before the Oscar list is released, the screening scale will not exceed 1,000 theaters.

Having said that, independent art films like this also have a more emotional and author style, and their screening scale will not be particularly large.

"Lost Tokyo" is a typical niche movie.

After its release, it can attract many viewers. On the one hand, it is because of its excellent publicity and marketing and film quality, and on the other hand, it has a certain influence with Sofia Coppola himself.

This is also the advantage that Sofia Coppola has brought in nature.

How many people can star in a movie like "The Godfather" as soon as they were born?

This is a kind of luck and pressure. In the early and mid-1990s, Sofia Coppola became a typical figure in Hollywood nepotism.

Nowadays, film critics have a high opinion of her and "Lost Tokyo" and how miserable she was scolded back then.

In some ways, this is a "counterattack of white, rich and beautiful women".

At the latest Gotham Independent Film Awards, "Lost Tokyo" won something. Because "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" naturally does not have the qualifications to evaluate the awards. As a small independent film, "Lost Tokyo" won two awards: Best Picture and Best Actress.

The Gotham Independent Film Awards is also one of the Oscar outposts. It can win several awards, which is also helpful for "Lost Tokyo" to hit the Oscar nomination.

"Are there any new plans after this movie?"

After a film-show meeting, Ronan specifically asked Sofia Coppola: "Are you going to shoot a new film?"

Sofia Coppola smiled and said with a hint of nasal voice: "No, I plan to take a year off and wait for the new project in 2005."

Ronan nodded and asked again, "Do you need to rest for such a long time?"

Sofia Coppola said very naturally: "I don't want to get too tired, and I may have a longer rest."

Ronan looked at her. Sofia Coppola is not an ordinary director, so she doesn't need to work as hard as Uvy Ball. Since she collaborated with Relativity Entertainment, one movie project after another, and even the rare rest time, she has gone to Irvine to find her true love to cry to her heart...

There is no way, Sofia Coppola and Uvi Ball are completely incomparable.

Ronan also completely cut off the idea of ​​letting Sofia Coppola direct that female work.
Chapter completed!
