Chapter 2186

Originally, today's center of the audience was the boss of the film company and the big director Coppola of the film's publisher and producer, but I didn't expect Xiao Bing to come, and he immediately became the biggest focus of the audience.

Xiao Bing looked at Seth Connor and asked, "is director Coppola coming to the dinner today?"

Seth Connor asked, "Mr. Shaw is interested in Mr. Coppola? He will be here in a moment. The old man has rarely attended such a dinner in recent years, but this time he still gave the crew a face and said that he would come in advance to get familiar with everyone."

Xiao Bing smiled and said, "I've seen many works of Mr. Coppola before, so I'm very interested."

Seth Connor laughed and said, "I'll introduce you personally later. Let's take a seat first. Don't stand here, haha. Mr. Shaw, you can't sit here. You have to sit in front of us."

Xiao Bing smiled, not deliberately modest, got up and followed Seth Connor and others, and then sat down on the throne.

At this time, a dance troupe began to perform a dance on the stage. Everyone was talking and laughing below, and delicious dishes were sent to each table one by one.

On the left of Xiao Bing sat bitingting, on the right sat Seth Connor, and diagonally opposite sat Linda.

Seth Connor smiled and said, "Mr. Shaw, I don't know which city in China you are from?"

Others also looked at it for a moment. Xiao Bing knew that Seth Connor wanted to talk to him, but he didn't care. He smiled and said, "Jingdu."

"Oh, it's actually the capital of China, Jingdu. It's said that Jingdu gathers more than half of China's dignitaries."

Xiao Bing smiled slightly, light hearted, giving others the feeling that Xiao Bing didn't pay attention to those ordinary dignitaries at all, and the hearts of the people present had another understanding: "this Xiao Jun family is definitely not just the dignitaries in Beijing, China. I'm afraid it can really be called powerful, otherwise how can even the Mafia here give face?"

Thinking of these, these people are more enthusiastic about Xiao Bing.

A few people were talking happily. At this time, there was an old cough outside the hall. Then everyone calmed down and looked at the door. However, an old man with white beard and glasses walked in with the help of a young man.

At this time, almost all of them stood up, and then greeted one by one. This is the second time since Xiao Bing came in today that someone has been so respected by everyone, and Xiao Bing also followed.

"Everyone sit down. Sorry, I'm late today."

"It's not too late." The deputy director said with a smile, "if the old man can come over, it will be a big face."

Coppola has won the lifetime achievement award in Hollywood. He has won almost all Hollywood Awards, which can be said to be important, so even those arrogant bosses have great respect for him.

Seeing Coppola, even Bi Tingting felt very excited. For films like godfather, women like Bi Tingting may not like it, but it will not affect Bi Tingting's worship of this International director.

After they were polite, Seth Connor said, "Mr. Coppola, this is Mr. Xiao Jun from China and miss bitingting's boyfriend."

Coppola glanced at Xiao Bing and nodded kindly, but there was no other indication. Then he looked at bitingting, Then he appreciated: "this time, miss bitingting joined, I believe this film will sell well. Your acting skills are already excellent in the film and television industry, but there are also some flaws. This time in the crew, I may correct some, and strive to make the film perfect. I also hope Miss bitingting can cooperate with me."

Bitingting said, "no problem, Mr. Coppola, I'm grateful that you can correct me."

Coppola smiled and said, "but Mr. Xiao Bing is already very good in acting. Even in the whole Hollywood, he is comparable to some big names. This time I am looking forward to cooperating with him."

Coppola didn't know that Xiao Jun was Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing stood aside and saw that Coppola didn't say anything to himself, and he didn't have any resentment in his heart. Instead, he appreciated the old man. The old man may not be unaware of his energy, but he didn't go overboard, or his position had determined that he had passed the level of need to make friends with powerful people. The reason why he kept chatting with bitingting was that bitingting was his partner, He is going to direct Bi Tingting soon. Naturally, he wants to get on well with Bi Tingting.

Sure enough, after chatting with bitingting, Coppola looked at several other actors, including Linda, and also chatted one by one. Then he was invited to the table where Xiao Bing sat and sat down on the main seat.

Seth Connor is now cautious about Xiao Bing and tries every means to please him, because knowing that Xiao Bing likes Coppola's films very much, he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Coppola, this Mr. Xiao Jun is your fan, and he likes your films very much."

"Oh, yeah." Coppola then went to really pay attention to Xiao Bing. It seems that for him, Xiao Bing's love for his films can arouse his interest more than Xiao Bing's identity. However, he just paid a little attention, and just said casually, "I don't know which of my works Mr. Xiao Jun likes best?"

Xiao Bing smiled and said, "basically, everyone's favorite movie of Mr. Coppola is the godfather." I also like this movie best. For me, you are a director with personality and a talented screenwriter. Although some people always say that you can't compare with Spielberg and Scorsese now, because your business achievements are not as successful as them, in my opinion, your real achievements are not weaker than them. In film and television, no one can say that you are beyond, and your name is a label. "

"Oh?" Coppola asked, "how can you think I'm not worse than them? My box office is really not as high as theirs."

Xiao Bing laughed: "For a real filmmaker, the box office is a very important standard to measure success, but it may not be a complete standard. To be honest, sir, you can be listed as a director among the top masters only by the Godfather trilogy, just like a successful writer, who can be called a master only by relying on one work, not necessarily how many works I have to write in my life. What's more, to measure whether a person is really successful It's not to see how many successful works he has, but to see whether he has his own label. "

Coppola finally began to have some interest, smiled and asked, "label?"

"That's the label." Xiao Bing said, "For example, as long as you are mentioned, even in the past few decades, you will still think of the godfather. This is the label. There are many famous stars in the film and television industry, and traffic Xiaosheng. However, although some of them are popular, they are still not respected enough, because they lack a work that people blurt out even in the past ten or thirty years. This work is not only to the box office, but also more important What we want is that his image will still be unforgettable to countless people in the future. “

Coppola asked, "like Audrey Hepburn?"

"Yes, like Audrey Hepburn." Xiao Bing said, "As a fair lady in Roman holiday, her superb acting skills and her gestures are touching. For example, my fair lady" The flower girl she plays in it is Audrey Hepburn, the eternal lady on the screen. Her elegant and pure image is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that when I see her in the play, speaking heavily accented English, rummaging in the vegetable market, on the one hand, I will admire her acting skills, on the other hand, I will be a little impatient and never forget it. "

Coppola nodded.

"Let's take war and peace, a great epic that embodies the superiority of socialism, which undoubtedly won the best foreign language Oscar that year. Audrey Hepburn, who is elegant, plays Natasha. After watching her performance in it, you may not forget it for a lifetime."

Coppola said approvingly, "you are really a attentive viewer."

Xiao Bing smiled and said, "so I say that for a commercial director, you are a master in the world, but you may not be the best masters in the world. But if we don't consider whether it's commercial or non-commercial, we just talk about the film itself, you are one of the greatest filmmakers in the world."

Coppola really valued it at this moment. Xiao Bing said, "thank you for your evaluation of my film."

Xiao Bing smiled and said, "I should thank you for the many works you have created for us. Some of them may not be very sensational at the box office, but the Coppola like expression is enough to affect a generation, and even the future film history is worth learning."

Coppola smiled, took out a business card from his arms, handed it to Xiao Bing, and said, "I think we can make friends, not because of your compliments to me. I have received too many compliments over the years. The important thing is that you are a real movie viewer. Whether you are an actor or a movie viewer, as long as you really act or watch with your heart, you are the people I respect."

Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Sir, you are the person I respect. I'm glad to receive your business card."

Xiao Bing carefully put his business card in his arms.
