Chapter 1162： Redemption items

I didn't drink much wine last night, and Yang Cheng didn't feel too strong a hangover after getting up in the morning.

glanced at the time on the phone, jumped up and rushed into the bathroom, hurriedly washed, and drove down Beverly Hills. He and Sofia Coppola had an appointment for brunch, but they couldn't miss the appointment.

It is less than 9 am, Beverly Hills is quiet, I am afraid this is also the quietest time in Beverly Hills. After a night of hustle and bustle, the celebrities and nobles on Beverly Hills are recuperating at home for the evening Get up.

Yang Cheng was in a hurry, banging the accelerator and resounding across the mountains.

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

If Yang Cheng had a golden finger system that could absorb grievances, he would be able to exchange for an aircraft carrier in just a short while.

The white Rafa shining with diamonds slammed the brakes at the entrance of the Coppola Family Manor. Opposite it was a small truck from a party service company. It was about to drive into the manor for finishing work, but Rafa was rushed over. Shocked, he almost drove the truck onto a palm tree on the side of the road.

The driver was just about to yell at him, but he saw Rafa’s true face clearly, and he was swallowed back when he cursed. He could only hold up his grievance and put his **** up where Yang Cheng couldn’t see it.

Just before going down the mountain, Yang Cheng sent a message to inform Sophia. As soon as she parked the car, she saw Sophia walking out wearing a top hat.

Now the temperature is around 20 degrees, the sun is shining, Sophia also put on a light spring dress, stepping on high heels full of extravagance.

Yang Cheng got out of the car and opened the door for her, and thoughtfully stuffed the corner of the skirt on the outside into the car, then restarted the car and continued down the mountain.

"Morning jason, I thought you were going to be late." Sophia took off her sunglasses and took out her makeup mirror from her bag to check her makeup. She has followed Chanel's Lafayette since she was a child, and her fashion taste is also at the forefront of Hollywood. , I am naturally very concerned about my own image.

Yang Cheng held the steering wheel and handed Sophia a glass of juice, "Why, here, the butler just squeezed it~"

"Thank you~" Sophia took a sip through a straw, "Great taste~"

The brunch shop they chose is located in West Hollywood. This caramel banana walnut muffin is very famous, and many Hollywood stars will come here, plus a whole wheat meringue cheesecake or extra-large whole egg sandwich. Many families The whole family will be out on weekends and come here for brunch.

After ordering, Yang Cheng asked, "Tell me Sophia, why did you invite me to dinner?"

Sophia pulled out a script from her bag, "This is my new project. I am looking for investment. The story tells that during the American Civil War, a northern colonel accidentally entered a southern boarding school for girls. His arrival also The female teachers in the school have sprouts, and the dark side of human nature such as jealousy and revenge is gradually fermenting."

Yang Cheng frowned subconsciously as soon as he heard it. This kind of story is basically not likely to be a big seller. It would be good to take the art of redemption route.

I opened it and browsed it roughly. The story is not complicated. During the American Civil War, Colonel John McBurney injured his left leg and collapsed in a bush. The girl Jane rescued him to a nearby girls’ boarding school.

The female students persuaded the head of the school to take him in. As his health improved, the handsome colonel showed incomparable charm. Two female teachers and four female students were jealous because of him, and undercurrents surged in the school.

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

Later, the colonel suffered a recurrence of leg injuries. Miss Martha had to ampute his limbs when he was in a coma. After waking up, the colonel was furious and wanted to avenge the girls’ school. Miss Martha and her students did not want to be controlled by him. .

is another film that fully expresses the inferior nature of people!

Putting down the script, Yang Cheng presses it with his right hand. There is no doubt about the ability of Sophia Coppola to direct this kind of thriller romance, but what he needs to consider is the investment and cost issues. If the award-winning route is determined from the beginning, Investment will certainly not be too much.

Fortunately, this film does not require too much scenes. The cost is mainly used for the actors' remuneration. With Yang Cheng's understanding of this kind of art film, one or two big stars must be invited to attract attention. If not, there will be 3 million. Enough to shoot.

"How much investment do you need?"

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

Yang Cheng frowned. This number exceeded his expectations. What's the joke, please Nicole Kidman? This woman is a broom star, she is definitely a box office star. The movie is made to be released, even if it is to win prizes, you can't completely care about the box office results.

smiled embarrassedly, "Can't you find someone else?"

Sophia did not answer directly, and instead said, "I am going to bring this film to Cannes Palme d'Or next year. If it is successfully won, it will not be a problem to recover the cost."

Yang Cheng nodded. The theme of this film is definitely the favorite genre of directors and judges of European literary and artistic films ban yu, sadomasochism, castration, the more blood of the film, the more happy the judges will be, and the award will be awarded The greater the chance of being, and the commercial operation of Cannes, as long as the film does not appear to be flawed and the money is in place, Palme d’Or is not unattainable.

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

"Sophia, 8 million. I can only give you a budget of 8 million. New Era Pictures will be in charge of Cannes public relations. Of course, your cooperation will be indispensable."

On his own project, Sophia is very firm, "10 million, one point is not less, this is the most streamlined number I can get after many budgets."

Yang Cheng tapped his finger on the script, lost in thought, Sophia was very relaxed, eating muffins gracefully, waiting very patiently for Yang Cheng's reply.

At this time, Yang Cheng hated that he was not a professional, unable to analyze the prospects of this project, and he paid very little attention to Sofia Coppola in his previous life. He had no impression of her work. If the result can be determined, he would not It seems so tangled.

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

Sophia didn't expect to let Yang Cheng confirm his investment through breakfast. That would be trivial. "No problem, I'll wait for your good news."
