my sister is a supermodel

Thinking of others, Roca felt that he was still only a second-rate screenwriter, and there was a lot of room for improvement.
After reading the script, Rocca called director Woody Allen, wanting to talk about the movie, and ask for advice by the way.
The old man agreed and invited him to be a guest at home.
Director Woody Allen lives in Brooklyn, in a villa area not far from Fort Greene Stadium.
In the afternoon, Roca came to the old man's house with a gift. In an elegant two-story villa, he met the old man's wife, an ordinary-looking Asian woman.
"Good afternoon ma'am!"
Rocca greeted him politely and presented him with a bottle of Bordeaux red wine.
"Come in, Mr. Kelly!"
Mrs. Allen responded with a smile, with a gentle temperament and polite manners, which are probably the advantages of East Asian women.
"Have you finished reading the script?"
The old man came out with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, Mr. Allen, it's just that I don't read much, and I don't understand a few plots, so I'm here to ask for advice!"
Rocca followed the old man to the lawn outside.
"You don't read much?"
The old man glanced at him, "Didn't you write "Buried Alive"? I have also read "Weakness" written by you, and borrowed a little bit from it. Have you seen it?"
"..."
Roca was stunned, why did he mention "Weakness" and borrowed from his script.
He thought about it carefully, and it was a bit similar, but it was not a reference.
The opening part of "The Vulnerability" is a very intense football game, which introduces the theme of the film while playing.
And the beginning of "Match Point" is also a game, a baseball is flying around on both sides of the net, and the plot is introduced in the form of chatting, which is one of the styles of Woody Allen's movies.
In fact, "Weakness" borrowed from "Match Point", but this time "Weakness" appeared earlier.
Roca twitched the corner of his mouth, and said in shame, "Mr. Allen, in fact, I often watched your movies when I was writing the script. I learned your narrative style and movie structure."
"Ok!"
The old man nodded in satisfaction. It is impossible to say that he borrowed from other people's scripts. He has written scripts for decades, and every one of them is a classic. In the screenwriting world, only others can borrow from him.
"If there is something you don't understand in the script, tell me and listen to it"
"Yes! There are about three parts, the first one is where Chris appears..."
The two walked under the shade of the tree, one old, one young, one behind, chatting slowly.
Rocca raised three key questions, the design of the appearance of the hero and heroine, the scene where the hero and heroine reunite after parting, and the design of the murder.
These three points are particularly wonderfully written, and the level is super high.
At his level, it is not difficult to read.
It's just that the old man has a high level of screenwriting and has a lot of skills to suppress the bottom of the box.
He wanted to learn, and by the way hold his stinky feet.
Sure enough, when the old man heard these three points, he immediately got excited, pulled him to sit on the floor, and told the original intention of the design, the original idea, and other design methods...all out, eloquently.
Sometimes Rocca added a sentence or two just right, and the old man became even more excited, his face flushed and he spit flying all over the conversation.
Roca nodded again and again, and learned a lot of knowledge points.
In the past, he worked as a screenwriter, relying on self-taught, and the teaching materials he used were all high-end materials. After receiving the guidance of the master, many things that he didn't understand suddenly became clear in an instant.
"Rocca, do you understand?"
The old man asked while holding a teacup.
Roca nodded, "This design is indeed more exciting, and it is superior in realm. Mr. Allen's control of the plot has reached a superb level. If I design it, this drama will probably be unfinished."
"Haha, don't be discouraged, you're still young, it's pretty good that you can learn so much from my script"
The old man patted him on the shoulder with a childish look in his eyes.
Roca quickly expressed that he hoped to come to consult frequently if he had the opportunity.
The old man readily agreed.
"Your boy is very good, smart, hardworking, self-motivated, and flattering"
"This~"
I said it well before, why did the style of painting suddenly change, saying that he is flattering?
Roca was a little embarrassed, "Mr. Allen, I didn't flatter you"
"Hahaha~ What does it matter!"
The old man waved his hands and smiled, "Boy, do you know why I gave you this role?"
"why?"
Roca has been curious about the inner reason for the past few days, and plans to ask about it later.
"One is because of your eyes"
The old man pointed to his eyes and said, "Eyes are the windows of the soul, your eyes are full of ambition and desire, just like Chris Wilton"
Roca blinked, eyes full of wildness and desire?Shouldn't this be a compliment?
"Mr. Allen, in the entertainment circle, there are thousands of young people full of ambition and desire in their eyes, and I am not a special one."
"Yes, young people should have ambitions and desires, but your eyes are very dramatic and spiritual. My drama needs such eyes. The second point"
The old man paused, looked at him and smiled, "I've seen a few movies you starred in, and you were terrible in "Honey Dancing" and "Mean Girls""
"Uh~"
Is it so direct?
"And your performance in "The Notebook" was basically qualified, and your performance in "Buried Alive" was considered excellent. It can be seen from your performance in several plays that you are an actor with high plasticity.
