Hollywood Hunter

Simon first met Catherine Bigelow, the Hollywood female director, after she successfully won the Oscars in 2010.

Speaking of which, his first impression of Catherine Bigelow was still his appearance.

At the 2010 Oscars, Catherine Bigelow, who was tall in a linen silk long dress, looked only 30 years old, and her body and temperament were enough to crush most of the actresses on the red carpet.

But in fact, Catherine Bigelow was born in 1951.Even now in 1986, she is already 35 years old.

Simon can only lament that there really is no shortage of fairies in the world that can resist the erosion of years.

Then there is the other party's work.

After the Oscars that year, Symonte watched several movies of Catherine Bigelow.

In all fairness, most of the films directed by Catherine Bigelow can only be said to be average, but the rough sense of the other party's works like the ancient stone column totem is impressive. This woman seems to be using all her The masculine breath of the camera language tells the audience in front of the screen that men can do it, and I can do it. If men can’t, I can still do it.

Simon even felt that the gender power that Catherine Bigelow had shown through her own work had already taken a bit of an aura.

The bus started again, going south along California Highway 1.

Catherine Bigelow gave all her attention to the manuscript in front of her after a slight gesture. Simon glanced curiously, judging by the format of the text on the paper, the woman should have a script in her hand, and then it was undisturbed.

It took more than an hour for this until Simon Catherine finished reading the last page of the manuscript, and Simon said in a timely manner: "Is this a script?"

The sixth sense of women is always very keen. Just reading the script, Catherine felt that the young man beside her would look at herself from time to time.As a beautiful woman, there is never a lack of prosecutors around her, and she has become accustomed to such things.

However, the other party did not disturb her for more than an hour, and she did not speak until she finished reading the script, which also gave Catherine some inexplicable feelings, so she smiled at Simon and nodded, saying: "Yeah ."

Although responding, Catherine did not want to talk to Simon too much.

Although the young man in front of him had a handsome face with sharp edges and a more mature temperament than his peers, in any case, this is obviously just a big boy under twenty.If friends know that they have been accosted by such a boy, they will be laughed to death.

He was about to turn his gaze out of the car window to make a gesture of rejection, but Catherine heard the young man next to him continue: "Actually, I also have a script. Or if we change the time and watch, it will take a few hours to arrive in Los Angeles. ."

With that said, Simon had stood up neatly, removed the backpack from the overhead luggage rack, picked out one of the two manuscripts and showed it to Catherine.

Catherine felt a little surprised that Simon came up with a script, but she still categorized Simon's move as a conversation.Originally intending to openly refuse, but glanced at the title of the script in Simon's hand, she couldn't help but also a little curious, subconsciously asked: "Butterfly effect, what does this mean?"

"This is a hypothesis made by Edward Lorenz, a professor of meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to elaborate his theory," Simon said, handing the script to Catherine, and continued: "Professor Lorenz assumed South America A butterfly in the Amazon basin occasionally flapped its wings. This time, the impact of the flapping wings on the surrounding airflow continued to spread, causing a series of chain reactions that eventually formed a terrifying tornado in Texas."

Catherine carefully listened to Simon’s explanation and couldn’t help shaking her head: “The butterfly flapping its wings caused a tornado.

Simon said: "Professor Lorenz is using this to describe the huge impact that a tiny variable may have on the entire system. And, I think it is very possible, but we can't justify it."

Catherine hummed softly without arguing with Simon. She was not a person who liked arguing with others.I found that I had taken over the script called "Butterfly Effect" unconsciously, so I opened it curiously.

Then, feeling that the young man beside him was still looking at himself, he remembered what he had just said.

After hesitating, he handed over his script.

Anyway, as he said, it's time to pass it.

Opening the script in his hand and glancing at it, he realized what he was and jumped over a few pages before Catherine was finally determined.

It turned out that, including the title on the cover, the entire script was all handwritten in neat English fonts similar to the printed body, which made her look at the young man beside her eyes who had turned her attention to her script.

In this era, typewriters are already a very common office tool. Ken patiently wrote all the scripts of more than 100 pages patiently and wrote the words so beautifully. Such young people are very rare.

Simon did not know Catherine's psychological activity. In fact, he was helpless to write the script. He lived in a mental hospital, and even if the doctor allowed him to own a typewriter, he could not afford it.

Putting Catherine's script on her knees, Simon has recognized it at this time, this should be the first cinematic feature film "Blood Corpse Night" directed by Catherine.After the award of "The Bomb Demolition Force", he read the introduction to the film out of curiosity when querying Catherine's information.

As the reading deepened, Simon quickly sorted out the general context of the story in his hands.

Oklahoma farm youth Kalebo met a girl named May who fell in love with him at first sight, but May was actually a vampire and turned Kalebo into a vampire on impulse.

Kalebo was then taken away by May's vampire partners and forced to wander the world.

Although he has the ability to live forever, after a few twists and turns, Kalebo found that this was not the life he wanted, so he wanted to break away from this group of vampires. At the same time, Kalebo’s father and sister were also in his After the disappearance, he embarked on the path of finding loved ones.

On the other side, I didn't know how long it took. After reading the last page of the script, Catherine looked up and found that Simon was still turning her script slowly, but she suddenly had a small impulse to grab the script from his hand.

Although I don’t really like the pessimistic tone of “Butterfly Effect”, but looking at the whole story, Catherine has to admit that the “Butterfly Effect” with well-conceived and novel plots is better than “Blood Corpse Night”. too much.

In the final analysis, "Blood Corpse Night" is just a simple love movie in a vampire coat, and there are some loopholes in the script that she can't help herself.

Waiting quietly for Simon to finish the script, Catherine involuntarily said in a tone of advice that she didn't even realize: "How?"

Simon thought for a while and said: "I really like the scene where Kalebo kneels in front of May to suck the blood from her wrist, with a sense of ethics that goes beyond ethics. This should be inspired by the phenomenon of lambs breastfeeding In the future, the camera shot will definitely be very touching."

Catherine didn't expect Simon to express her feelings according to a certain point in the script. Although the "Blood Corpse Night" script was not written entirely by her, the picture that Simon described at this time was from her hand.

Many fans will make an excessive deconstruction beyond the director's intention after watching the movie, but Simon's understanding at this time coincides with her thoughts.She was born as an art student, so she will habitually add some symbolic shots to the script.

"So," hesitating, Catherine asked straight out: "Do you think there is anything that can be improved in this script?"

Simon was surprised when she heard the question of the woman, but he said quickly: "Perhaps, you can change the farm to a ranch. I see there are many farm scenes in the script, but no matter what the state of the farm, there is absolutely no shop. The ranch full of green meadows is more picturesque.

Catherine thought for a while, then nodded, and asked again: "The last plot is that Kalebo and May changed back to human settings. Do you think there is any better way to deal with it?"

In the script of "Blood Corpse Night", the male and female protagonists have changed back to humans by means of blood transfusion. This setting is indeed very far-fetched.

However, Simon shook his head and said, "You should have modified the script many times, right? If you can modify it, I will definitely not see the plot now. There is really no way to change it, otherwise the second half of the entire script Some parts need to be overthrown, that must be another story."

Catherine nodded and realized that Simon was telling the truth, but she was still disappointed in her expression.

Simon looked at the woman's expression and said, "Actually, there is still a place to adjust."

Catherine looked over again: "Huh?"

"Actor's name," Simon said with a smile on his lips, "Do you know? The name Kalebo is derived from Hebrew, and it actually means'Ferocious Hound', this name is too earthy, it is best another."

Catherine knew from Simon's smile that he was joking, and also smiled, teasing: "You still know Hebrew."

"Yeah, it's quite fluent. So, I will definitely mix very well in Hollywood in the future."

Hebrew is the national language of the Jews. As everyone knows, Hollywood is the world of Jews.Being able to speak fluent Hebrew will definitely give Simon the favor of many Jews in Hollywood.

In fact, because of the inheritance of the memory of another twelve people, not only Hebrew, but also more skilled English and Chinese, Simon will also be German, French and Spanish at this time, which has almost covered the most mainstream in the world. Several major languages.Therefore, even if he is doing a translation now, he is definitely the top one.

Catherine listened to Simon's tone, and had a slight impulse to roll her eyes. She felt that the young man had changed the subject a little and didn't want to overestimate the meaning of her script.Perhaps, compared with his "Butterfly Effect", "Blood Corpse Night" really has nothing to say.

Simon is not reluctant to provide Catherine with more advice. He still knows the advantages and disadvantages of Catherine's series of works.

The point is that the two are still in a state of'meeting with each other'. Is it persuaded that she should calm down the violent breath of deliberately obscuring gender awareness in her works, and encourage her to show the delicate aspects of her females.

How do you know that the film work of a beautiful woman like her will not be delicate enough?

Guess?

If you talk too much, you're exposed.

However, Catherine was not a demanding person, so she followed the topic of Simon with a little chat and said: "Then what do you think, should Kalebo be changed to a good name?"

"Simon, how are you?"

Catherine was puzzled: "Simon, is there anything special about this name?"

Simon held out a hand to the woman and smiled: "Simon Westeros, ma'am, can I know your name?"

Catherine suddenly understood that this was his name.

"My name is Catherine Bigelow," he gently shook his hand, and Catherine also introduced herself with a smile, and curiously said: "Westeros, a very rare surname, you know Hebrew, so , Is this Jewish surname?"

"No," Simon shook his head and said, "This is my surname."

Westeros (Westeros) is an original vocabulary coined by George Martin, this word should have appeared ten years later.Therefore, Simon is undoubtedly the only'Westero' in the world.

Catherine could feel some faint sense of superiority implied in Simon's sentence, but she did not feel any disgust in her heart.

He can write scripts like "Butterfly Effect", can talk casually about the theory of a MIT professor, and can master the very niche language of Hebrew, such an excellent young man, proud Some are taken for granted.
