Martin’s new book, as soon as it was released, immediately swept the entire West Coast.
From “Vromans” in Pasadena, to “Skylight” in the Los Angeles Arts District, to “CityLightsellers” in San Francisco… There were long lines at every big bookstore on the entire West Coast.
Harry Potter and Twilight, people seem to come for these two books and nothing else.
At the same time, the new books of these two series of novels are also about to be rolled out on the East Coast ~
In an upscale coffee shop near Central Park, New York.
Martin is drinking authentic Blue Mountain coffee with two girls.
“Martin, what do you think of this script?” asked Scarlett Johansson.
And the other girl also looked at Martin nervously, this is her first real movie, when she found Scarlett to convince her to star, she really didn’t expect Scarlett to find Martin.
Her name is Sophia Coppola, from the famous Coppola family in Hollywood, and her father is the big director who made “The Godfather” – Francis Ford Coppola.
Sophia Coppola almost grew up on the set, and as a baby, she appeared in “The Godfather” and played the baptized baby at the end of the film.
Later, he participated in the feature movie “Fighting Fish”, playing a little girl.
When Sophia was 18 years old and had just graduated from high school, her father arranged a role for her in “The Godfather 3” in order to help her open the road to interpretation.
But the effect is not satisfactory, Sophia’s performance in the film brought her a “Golden Raspberry Award” Worst Newcomer Award, and a Worst Supporting Actress Award.
She then traveled to Paris and got a job at Chanel, answering calls to Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel’s artistic director.
At the same time, he began to learn photography.
In 1999, she made her first film, “Girls Go Forward”, which was an experimental film, but she won the Hollywood Young Director Award for this film, and the film was selected as one of the “Top Ten Films” of 2000 by the French magazine “Film Handbook”.
It was also from this moment that she completely gave up her path as an actor and embarked on the road of directing.
After directing two more short films, Sophia thought she could really make her way into the big screen, so she created the script “Lost in Tokyo”.
“Have you ever been to Tokyo?” asked Martin, closing the script.
“Yes, the script was inspired by a few trips to Tokyo, a charming and weird place where people are always in a hurry and don’t care about each other, even if someone falls and dies in public on the street, no one stops to take a look at it, and there are drunk men and women everywhere…”
“It felt so disorienting, disorienting, lonely and isolated in it. Everything is so crazy and tormenting you. ”
“The people there seem to have a strange sense of crisis that oppresses them and puts them under heavy pressure. So I came up with an idea: to interpret the midlife crisis and the juxtaposition of 20-year-olds. ”
“A lot of the passages and a lot of the dialogue in the script come from conversations I’ve heard there, my experiences and people I know. ”
Sophia talked, but there was a strange feeling in her heart, the guy in front of her was just a fourteen-year-old child, could he understand what I said?
However, Martin’s next words shattered the stereotypes in her mind.
“I saw some of your selfish expressions from Charlotte in this script, you are a master of weaving emotions, because you immerse your true emotions into it, if I guessed correctly, Sophia, your marriage should not be satisfactory, do you have plans to divorce in the near future?”
Sophia Coppola’s eyes widened, “This, this… How do you see that?”
You cast your own shadow on the character of Charlotte, and I think the sadness of being snubbed by your husband must be a true portrayal of the mood: your husband is probably the same as the workaholic in the film. ”
An indescribable emotion instantly surged in Sophia’s heart – Martin in front of her, a fourteen-year-old boy, turned out to be her confidant!!
This thirty-year-old woman is not a beauty in the traditional sense, but has a unique charm.
At this time, she looked at Martin with a complex look mixed with confusion, surprise, and inquiry, her mouth opened slightly, she wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
After a while, she said in an amazed tone:
Yes, my marriage is not happy, since we got married, Jones has taken on one job after another, and in the process I discovered the gap between the two of us, he is a realistic person, he is right, but we really don’t fit in, and I really don’t want to go on. ”
Martin nodded and said:
“The success or failure of a marriage is not about right or wrong, but whether the two are compatible in soul. ”
0 for flowers 0
“But I don’t think you’re fit to marry before you’re 40?”
The boy in front of him suddenly gave Sophia a godly temperament.
“Why?”
“Your thinking is too sensitive and artistic, talent is a double-edged sword, talented people usually have a little perfectionism, and pickiness, for their other half, living with such a person is torture.” ”
Because this type of people usually fantasize about marriage as a very beautiful picture, and once the real marriage does not fit this scene, they will be sad, disgusted, and unwilling to settle. ”
“Like you said, your husband is right, but you just don’t like it. ”
Sophia’s eyes widened, and she actually felt that the boy in front of her had some truth.
Then she suddenly thought, isn’t this guy also a talented person?
So she suddenly asked: “What about you, Martin, you are also that kind of talented artist, will you get married?”
“No, but I’ll have a lot of women!” Martin didn’t mince words.
“Yes, he does have a lot of women!” added Scarlett from the side.
Sophia’s eyes widened, “Many women, how old is this kid?!”
Then she suddenly reacted and looked at Scarlett, “Scarlett, are you!”
Scarlett smiled and said calmly: “That’s right, I’m one of them. ”
Sophia felt that her three views were about to be shattered, and she was extremely curious: “Aren’t you jealous and don’t want to monopolize him?”
“I want to, but I can’t. Scarlett said.
“Will he accept you and other men?” asked Sophia again.
“I won’t!” said Scarlett.
“No!” Martin said.
The calmness of the two almost made Sophia’s head explode, why there is such a person, it is like thought control, but obviously impossible.
Then Martin picked up the script again, flicked his fingers on it, and said: “So I’m going to say the second thing, this script is good, Scarlett can act, but the 1uo show shot should be removed, or find a stand-in.” ”
“If you promise, I can still invest!”
Sophia thought a little and agreed.
The budget of the film is about 5 million, her father invested 1 million, and she had to find the rest of the money herself.
