Chapter 293 Coppola
Eve and Keanu were unaware of the reports and discussions on the Internet and various media, and they held hands in the outdoor store in downtown Los Angeles to purchase.
As Christmas approaches, there are fewer paparazzi in Hollywood. After all, they also need to go back for the holidays.
The streets are filled with the atmosphere of Christmas. Snowflake signs are posted on the windows of various shops, and Christmas trees of various sizes are placed inside. Classic Christmas songs can be heard everywhere.
Although it is daytime, the colored lights in some places are already on.Some shop assistants in red and white clothes are pretending to be Santa Claus, handing out gifts to children and taking pictures with everyone.
Christmas promotions are of course also essential.
The pair bought thousands of dollars worth of gear, which made the store so happy they even gave a Christmas ornament.
Eve asked, "Do we want to buy a Christmas tree in our villa? It doesn't feel like there is any festive atmosphere in it."
"Then we'll pick it up later and let them deliver it to our door."
Keanu thinks this proposal is quite good, and one more Christmas tree can make the empty home more warm.
Even after returning from Alaska, both of them will go to the set at the same time, and no one will live in it.
Seeing that the filming of "The Matrix" was just around the corner, but his girlfriend was going to Charleston, and the two of them finished filming almost at the same time.
New Line Cinema's "Lian Lian Notebook" is expected to shoot in 60 days, including rest days.
Eve's participation in the Golden Globes must be on a rest day, and the British Oscars are too far away, so she can only give up temporarily.
In other words, it was only the beginning of March 2001 when the movie was finished, and the Oscars ceremony was held at that time, so everything was just right.
Although Christmas is not at home, there are still some decorations.
After loading all the snow equipment into the car, Eve and Keanu went shopping for Christmas decorations together.
In fact, what kind of decoration is not important, what is important is the process of doing it together, which is necessary for two people who have been apart for a long time, to cultivate and cultivate feelings so that they will not be unfamiliar with each other.
Hollywood star couples have relationship problems because they have been separated for too long, coupled with great temptations, so there are many crew couples.
They got mixed up during the filming, and separated after the filming. Only a very small number of people are really together because of the love of the film.
Of course, it is also possible that the male and female protagonists can't get used to each other, and instead of becoming lovers, they become enemies.
Eve and Keanu seize every moment of being together, and both of them take this relationship very seriously.
Spending money is indeed enjoyable. Now that they are in the stage of financial freedom, they basically don't consider the price of what they want to buy, so this afternoon Eve bought herself another Hermès bag.
……
On Christmas Eve, various airports are in a busy phase.
Eve and Keanu sat in the VIP lounge and waited for the notice of the plane to take off. The private airport on the Los Angeles side could fly, but Fairbansk on the Alaska side was in a snowstorm and could not land. They had to wait for the notice. just work.
Fairbansk is the second largest city in Alaska and the largest city near the Arctic Circle. After entering winter, you can see the aurora almost every day.
"Even the departure is so bumpy, I think this trip may have twists and turns." Eve had a bad feeling in her heart, she didn't know how long she would have to wait at the airport.
Fortunately, the plane hadn't taken off yet. If I found out in mid-air that I couldn't land at my destination, my mood would be even worse.
Keanu, who was a little cautious, didn't think much of it. He hugged Snoopy in his arms to comfort him, and at the same time retorted: "This is a normal situation. After all, it's too cold there. It's normal to have a blizzard. Listen to the weather forecast. , The blizzard has weakened, and it is estimated that we will be able to fly over soon."
Alaska is located in the northwest corner of the North American continent. It is not actually connected to the continental United States, and Canada is separated in the middle.
Eve casually flipped through the fashion magazines provided by the airport, feeling worried that she would have to wait in the airport all the time?
She had a sore back from sitting!
"I'll take Snoopy out for a stroll, and I'll call if I have something to do, and I'll be active in the airport." Eve stood up, and she felt that the little golden retriever must be very depressed, so she happened to be outside to relax.
The size of this airport is definitely not comparable to that of Los Angeles International Airport. There are only three runways, most of which are planes of various companies. In addition, there are private jet rental companies and planes of various stars, players, and rich people.
Obviously, there are no commercial airliners here, so it is usually very quiet, only the staff and crew.
Today, because of Christmas, there are a lot of charter flights, so the airport is relatively lively. It has never been so noisy before.
Keanu nodded and said, "Be careful, remember to adjust the volume of your phone to the maximum."
He didn't want to use the airport radio to find someone if the plane could take off.
Eve smiled at him, then put the dog leash on Snoopy, and one person and one dog walked out of the lounge happily.
After waiting for almost four hours, her patience was almost exhausted, and now she only hopes that everything will go well, but don’t be unable to see the aurora after arriving in Alaska, only to see the snowstorm all over the sky.
Here, after Keanu sent Eve away, he took out his laptop and continued to watch the weather updates. The rest of the planes were basically able to fly normally, except for that one place.
It would be false to say that he was not depressed, but he was fully prepared for surprises.
Living in Canada since he was a child, he actually likes ice and snow, and plans to make an ice sculpture by himself.
Just as he was frantically refreshing the weather in Alaska, his phone rang.
Keanu took out his phone, and when he saw the caller ID, his eyebrows frowned.
What is Francis Coppola calling himself?
I haven't contacted you for many years. Could it be possible to wish yourself a Merry Christmas?
Although there were doubts in his heart, Keanu's movements were not slow, and he quickly pressed the answer button: "Hi, this is Keanu Reeves. Good afternoon, Francis."
The other end of the phone is none other than the famous director Francis Coppola, the most famous of which is the "Godfather" trilogy and "Apocalypse Now".
Keanu once filmed the vampire movie "400 Years of Surprise" directed by him, and it was in that movie that he met Winona Ryder.
It's just that the relationship between Keanu and Francis was not very harmonious at the beginning. Francis didn't like Keanu's appearance and acting skills very much.
Francis Coppola on the other end of the phone was a little relieved when he heard Keanu's voice. After so many years, he didn't change his mobile phone number. It would be a bit embarrassing if he called the empty number.
"Good afternoon, Keanu." Francis was not the kind of thin-skinned person, and asked directly: "Merry Christmas. Do you have time this afternoon? I would like to invite you to have a cup of coffee with Eve."
Keanu was not stupid, he immediately understood that Francis called again after so many years, it was definitely not to catch up with him, but to establish a relationship with Eve.
Even if I've had some feuds with him, Eve would obviously be very good in a Francis Coppola movie.She doesn't have any big leads now, and the Coppola family has a huge influence, which may help her career.
"Sorry, we are waiting for the plane at the airport and we are going to Alaska for vacation." Keanu asked, "If things are urgent and important, then we will not get on the plane for the time being, and we will fly later."
It's nothing to go on vacation later, it's important to be able to act in a movie of such a big director, even if Francis hasn't made a movie for a while.
But as soon as he comes out of the mountain, attention is absolutely indispensable. This is the background of a great director!
After Francis Coppola heard Keanu's attitude, he said slowly: "It's not particularly urgent, we can talk about it after you come back from vacation. You know Sofia, she wrote a script, and I think there is a character in it that is very interesting." It suits Eve and would like to ask her to play that role."
At this time Keanu frowned, it turned out that it was not Francis who wanted to make a movie, but his daughter Sofia Coppola.
The circle of Hollywood is not big, and Sophia’s name is no stranger to her. Keanu knows that she is actually a talented woman, but she has not settled down in the past few years. She first acted, then went to work at Chanel, and then went to school. Worked as a photographer, designed shoes and bags for lv, worked as a perfume model for marcjacobs, and then started filming.
The last movie "Angel with Broken Wings" was quite good, but the box office was not very popular.
No wonder they made this call. It is probably due to Eve's current popularity and acting skills. After all, Sofia's movies are invested by the production company established by the Coppola family, and they definitely want to recover the cost so as not to lose money.
At the same time, Eve's acting skills are among the best among actresses of the same age. If you find her, you don't have to worry about the quality of the movie, and you can even make a fortune at the box office.
As a boyfriend, Keanu would not promise anything without permission, but said cautiously: "Sofia is going to make a new movie? Congratulations to her, she is a talented female director, she should shoot more works. But I can't help Eve make any decisions right now, she's not by my side right now, can you send the script first? Or wait for her to come back and then call and talk about it?"
The relationship between Keanu and Francis has been extremely benevolent, and the two parties did not like each other when they cooperated, but he still helped Coppola wine to promote in the past two years.
The favor has been used up, and it is impossible for the girlfriend to repay the favor.
Whether you can star in a movie depends entirely on the script and schedule, not other factors.
Francis said straightforwardly: "No problem, you should read the script. Sophia doesn't know about my contact with the actors. She plans to contact you caa after Christmas. I'm worried that the script will be left on caa for too long. The total investment is 400 A movie script worth $[-] may not even appear in Eve's hands."
Poor parents all over the world, even if Francis Coppola becomes famous, he still has to pave the way for his daughter's development in Hollywood.
Just like what he said, it is really possible that a movie with an investment of only 400 million US dollars will be directly rejected by the agent, so he asked Keanu to help pass it on.
