Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 183 The Great Director of the Century

When Xie Zihao heard this, he felt that the name seemed a bit familiar.

Then he recalled something and said:

"Sophia Cole? Is she the famous beauty who graduated in the year we enrolled?"

Todd rolled his eyes at him and said excitedly:

"That's the daughter of the great director David Cole. Mr. Cole is the light of our NTU! You don't know that, right?"

Xie Zihao was stunned after hearing this.

Of course he knew that even if he was not a student at Nanjing University, as long as he had some knowledge of the entertainment industry or the film and television industry, or even ordinary viewers who had read newspapers and TV, they would not fail to know the name of the great director who set a world record.

The story of David Cole is legendary. He comes from an Italian family and is said to be somewhat involved with the Mafia. However, David Cole is not like those young people of the same age who yearn for luxury.

It seems like a cool mafia life, but I am obsessed with photography.

When he grew up, Cole was successfully admitted to the Photography Department of NTU, and was then roped into a small team by his classmates to prepare a short film of his own.

As a result, the original director suddenly got too excited and gave up his choice. By some strange combination of circumstances, David Cole stepped in and directed the short film in the absence of a director.

After the filming was completed, the film was recommended by the school to participate in the selection of the Venice Film Festival, one of the three major film festivals in Europe. It successfully won the Best Short Film Award at the Venice Film Festival that year. Then the young David became famous instantly and started his career.

This led to his cheating movie life.

In the following years, David did not directly shoot feature films. Instead, he interned as a photographer on various Hollywood production crews, gaining experience and skills in film shooting and production.

When everyone thought that he had become famous at a young age and then disappeared from everyone, a few years later in the 1980s, David Cole, who was not yet 26 years old, participated in directing the eight most popular movies in Hollywood as a firefighter.

At the end, United Artists Pictures is a medium-sized science fiction film.

When no one else was optimistic and the previous director refused to direct, David Cole used a unique perspective to shoot a science fiction film full of warmth and philosophy about the communication between aliens and humans. After its release in 1981,

, successfully earned tens of millions of pounds at the box office, ranking third that year, and at the same time saved United Artists, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.

In the following years, David Cole, who single-handedly started the trend of sci-fi blockbusters in Hollywood, gave up directing sci-fi movies and produced several drama and literary films, including one that is regarded as the most popular in history.

Best gangster film of the "Tang" series.

Don means "Your Excellency" in Italian. It is an honorific title for a famous male. By extension, in a gang, there is a patriarch of a family, which means the godfather of the gang.

With these films, David Cole has won the best director or best film at the three major European film festivals, as well as the Federal Film Academy Award, which is the Oscar Award in this world. As for the awards from other international film festivals, there are more

There are too many to put away.

David Cole also succeeded in becoming one of the few film directors at the time to win a Grand Slam, and he achieved this achievement in his thirties when he was in his prime.

However, after David Cole proved himself to the world, he did not lose his momentum and chose to retire, but instead devoted himself to the production of science fiction blockbusters again.

From the 1980s to the present, including the works directed and produced by him, there have been a total of seven science fiction movies of various types. Most of them were hits, and the remaining movies did not lose money. He is one of the few in the industry.

A great director with excellent reputation and box office.

Then David Cole completed directing the disaster blockbuster Titanic this year, which successfully detonated the box office in North America and even the world.

Recalling these legendary experiences of David Cole, it is no wonder that this man, unanimously recognized by NTU alumni as the light of NTU, is so highly regarded.

However, the more Xie Zihao thought about it, the more strange he felt.

"This is simply replicating the experience of three great directors in the previous life, Truck Driver, Spielberg and Copperfield. How come it is so similar to the tone of that kind of entertainment hero? This David Cole

Could it be that he is also an earth traveler?"

Xie Zihao couldn't help but doubt that after all, with him as a time traveler, it was not impossible for other time travelers to appear.

What's more, this world is a comprehensive world with many film and television plots.

In short, anything unexpected can happen.

Seeing Xie Zihao fall silent, Todd thought he was suffocated by David Cole's name, so he said:

"I didn't expect you to be so lucky. Although the three major brokerage companies failed to reach a cooperation today, they met Mr. David Cole's daughter on the back foot. Lance, you must seize this opportunity! Try to seize it.

If our senior Sofia wins, then I can have a few more years of fighting with you..."

When Xie Zihao heard this, he glanced at him and said angrily:

"What do you want to win? I want to invite you to your nightclub. I will go and see Sofia Cole's audition. Although I don't know how good this young lady is, but as the daughter of a great director, she will definitely get a lot of help during the filming.

I don’t think there’s any problem with a passable video.”

Todd was not embarrassed to be lectured by his friends and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I heard that a certain second generation did this before. The film was successful, but insiders revealed that most of the filming work was done by those assistant directors. But that second generation

Dad is just a relatively well-known figure in the industry, and he cannot be compared with David Cole, the light of NTU and the great director of the century!"

"I think with Senior Sofia's popularity and background, as long as she says she wants to make a movie, there will probably be at least dozens of NTU graduates who are willing to bring their own food and help, including those who are already famous.

Those directors, not to mention directors from other factions..."

"Being favored by the great director of the century, even if it is just a little bit of guidance, will benefit us a lot. Becoming a so-called famous director is not a problem!"

Seeing the yearning look on his best friend's face, Xie Zihao also understood how much these people who majored in directing or were interested in developing a career in directing admired the great director of the century.

So Xie Zihao thought for a while and said:

"In this case, you go to the interview with me tomorrow. I think even if I am not suitable for that role, with your relationship as an NTU alumnus, I should be able to get a position in the crew of that senior Sophia, right? As for the current crew members

Work……"

Todd immediately said with bright eyes:

"What kind of job? It's just a director's assistant. I'll find a classmate to take my place immediately. The opportunity to build a relationship with Mr. Cole is priceless. If I miss it, I will definitely regret it for several years..."

As he said this, Todd excitedly called a few classmates who graduated from the directing department in the same class with whom he could chat, and soon found a candidate who was currently unsuitable for a job and was willing to serve as a director's assistant for him on the current crew.

After all, there are not many people like Todd who are socially awkward. He can always get the opportunity to work on the crew by relying on his own connections, but this is not always the case for others. So a job opportunity as a director's assistant does not depend on the salary.

It's tiring to be young, but it's also hard to find for fresh graduates who come from ordinary families and have nothing to do with the entertainment industry.

Thanks to Huiryan for the thousand-five-dollar tip!

Thank you all for your support and encouragement! I will work hard to continue!
