Hollywood Hunter

Simon didn't feel a girl in the crowd watching him silently. Hearing Janet's words, he just smiled and said, "Why, are you going to live in for a while?"

Janet nodded sincerely: "Yeah, if it can be like you, you can live for a few years."

Catherine also recovered at this time, and in amazement, she again had a strong curiosity about Simon's past.But, after hearing Janet's words, the woman glared at her friend warningly: "Jenny, no more jokes about this kind of thing."

Janet felt the rare earnestness in Catherine's words, and immediately shrunk her neck, holding her arm swaying flatteringly, and she no longer spoke.

Simon calmed down some of the rapid heartbeat he had just concentrated on playing, noticed Janet's small movements, smiled, and handed the guitar in his arms to Catherine in front of him, "Could you please help me?"

Catherine reached out and took it, still a little puzzled. Simon had already squatted down and began to sort the coins in the piano case in front of him.

Wanting to step forward and feel the guitar in hand, Catherine had to stand and carefully hold the guitar in her arms.

Janet looked at the guitar in front of her, stretched her hand, and was opened by Catherine, her lips dissatisfied, she simply squatted down to help Simon sort out the coins, and twisted a 5 cent coin to criticize a guy for being too stingy.

Soon all the coins in the piano box were sorted out. Even if the hundred-dollar bill that Janet had just had, there were more than 260 US dollars, far exceeding Simon's expectations.

With Janet holding a small pile of coins, Simon tucked the banknotes into his jeans pocket, took the guitar from Catherine, put it carefully in the case, carried it on his shoulders, looked at the woman and said, "So, go for dinner ?"

"Okay," Catherine did not hesitate this time, nodded with a smile, and offered to suggest: "There is a nice Mexican restaurant nearby."

"Isn't it okay to walk over?"

"Of course, just to the north."

"Oh, how do you go back later?"

"My car is in the parking lot over there."

"What a coincidence, mine is over there, but I borrowed the hotel owner's car, a very nice person."

"The guitar is also borrowed?"

"Yes."

Janet stood still, staring at the men and women who were about to walk away side by side, looking down at the coins he still held in his hand. What's going on?

I was so forgotten, forgotten?

Thinking of this, Janet suddenly got angry and shouted in the street with a hoarse voice: "Simon Westero, you dare to take another step, I will throw away this pile of things!"

The eyes of many people on the pedestrian street were attracted again.

Simon and Catherine also turned around, looking at the angry Janet. Simon quickly returned and said, "Sorry, Jenny, now, let me get it."

Janet slammed all the coins in Simon's hand and gave Catherine a grievance.

Both were a little embarrassed, Catherine stepped forward to hold Janet, Simon packed the coins, and the three went back north again.

Looking at Janet deliberately separated between the two, Simon had no choice but to ask, "So, Catherine, you just said that Jenny's studio is here, what studio?"

"Art studio," Catherine replied, "Jenny is a painter. In the future, you have money and you can buy her paintings."

"Oh, sure."

"I won't sell you this bastard."

"I pay a high price."

"Not for sale!"

"Double."

"Nonsence!"

"Oh," Catherine chuckled lightly. When she saw her friend and stared at herself, she quickly said to Simon: "Jenny is also very good. She actually graduated from Columbia University Business School, and Buffett also studied Columbia University Business School, Simon,

Simon nodded: "Of course."

Catherine continued: "That year, Buffett returned to Columbia to give a speech. Jenny argued with Buffett in the auditorium. If it were not for the dean of the business school, Jenny almost could not let the other party step down."

"Sure enough," Simon smiled and continued to ask: "Why did you change into a painter?"

Catherine just glanced at her girlfriends this time, smiling and not explaining.

When Janet saw Simon, she also aimed at herself curiously, and she just rolled her eyes.

Chatting casually, the three came to a nearby Mexican restaurant. Although Simon had a few hundred dollars in his pocket, both women just asked for a set meal of $25. However, Simon still obeyed Jenny’s “will”. She ordered a bottle of red wine for $100.

After dinner, Simon also left the motel's contact information to Catherine before they were separated from the two girls.

After paying the dinner bill, Simon still has more than one hundred dollars left, which is enough to support the salary payment of the convenience store next week, thus dispelling the idea of ​​continuing to waste time on part-time work.

Solving his own financial troubles, Simon then settled down completely in Los Angeles.

Once the days seem to be set in stone, they often pass quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third week of Simon's arrival in Los Angeles, and the time went into July.

Outside of work, Simon basically maintains a frequency of two phone calls with Jonathan Friedman every week.The agent did not hide from him the idea of ​​making the Butterfly Effect a packaged project.

Last Wednesday, Simon also rushed to WMA headquarters at the invitation of Jonathan Friedman and chatted with the agent's fancy film director Brian de Palma for more than half an hour.

Brian de Palma became famous in "The Witch Carrie" in the 1970s, but Simon knew that the other party was the director of the first "Mission Impossible" in Atango ten years later. One of the directors of Green Tree.

Therefore, although Brian de Palma's takeover of "Butterfly Effect" will cover up the light of the script itself to a certain extent, considering the promotion of this well-known director's participation in the entire project, Simon is also happy to see it succeed.

Originally everything seemed very smooth.

However, the other day, he talked to the agent on the phone, but the other party told him that something had changed.

Friedman's original idea was to use all the artists in his hands, but after the "Butterfly Effect" script spread within the company, some other WMA executives also had ideas about the project.

The agent did not explain too clearly this time. Simon couldn't sort out the joints, but he also understood that he must still continue to wait patiently for a while.As a newcomer to his debut, there is naturally no way to have any influence on WMA's internal games. At this time, he can only be a pawn.

On the other hand, after surpassing the small threshold in the first week, Simon only retained the job at the convenience store and began his other plans.

It is another ordinary Thursday afternoon, but tomorrow is July 4th, the National Day of the United States, followed by the entire weekend.Therefore, many people have fallen into the holiday atmosphere in advance, and there are obviously more passengers in the convenience store.

"So, how is it today?"

Standing at the cash register, Simon saw Courteney Cox holding a pile of snacks and greeted the girl while checking out the bill.

Less than a week working in a convenience store, Simon discovered that Courteney Cox actually happened to live nearby, and he often shopped in this store.Courteney Cox also thought it was very interesting. Every time he came to buy something, he would chat with Simon deliberately. The two of them knew each other unconsciously.

However, Courteney is clearly in a very bad mood today.

Hearing Simon’s greeting, Courteney, who had a somewhat depressed expression, didn’t have a good air: "I just received a notice of audition failure, what do you think will happen?"

Simon smiled and said: "There is no need to be so discouraged, you are in such good condition, there will definitely be more opportunities. Speaking of that, I am currently preparing an experimental movie, or will you be the heroine?"

"Experimental movie?" Courteney pointed at Simon's clerk's attire and ridiculed: "Let's not say whether you will make a movie. First, do you have money?"

"When Joe sells my script, he probably will have money," Simon said, packing Courtene's snacks. "A total of 19 dollars and 75 cents."

Courtney handed over two US$10 bills, and still said something awkward: "You have been here for a few weeks without any movement. When Joe sells your script, maybe I am already Michelle Pfei A big star like Buddha. You can't afford even a fraction of my pay for a script."

Simon found change for Courteney and said: "Michelle Pfeiffer should not be expensive? However, a woman who is really very tasteful may have the opportunity to date her in the future."

Courteney weighed a few coins in his hand and gave Simon a white glance, saying, "It's so rare, you haven't found the wrong money in your daydream."

After hitting Simon so mercilessly, Courtene's mood was much better, and he said goodbye to his face before leaving, then he took the bag and left the convenience store.

Simon threw the ticket from Courtena to the trash bin next to him. Seeing that there were no customers behind, he was planning to sit down and rest for a while. The fat body of Roger Griffin, the owner of the convenience store, rubbed over Next to the cash register, he said: "Hey, boy, it's really bad to pick up a girl under the pretext of making a movie. If I had already asked her directly, so many days, I looked at you anxiously."

Simon didn't take this middle-aged fat man who was absolutely thieves and courageous, and instead said: "I have no excuses. Speaking, Roger, can I have some shots in your shop?"

"Yes," Roger Griffin is still very refreshing and straightforward: "As long as you pay."

"Of course I wouldn't use it in vain," Simon smiled. "However, let me first explain that this is a robbery scene."

Roger looked at Simon completely as if he was a joke. He narrowed his eyes and looked at him. He quickly said: "Also, but when shooting, you have to replace the shop with a temporary new signboard. The lens should not appear too. Specific address information."

It took a few weeks for the movie in my memory to persuade a supermarket to cooperate with the filming of robbery.

Simon didn't expect his turn to be quite smooth, so he nodded immediately and raised his hand to Roger: "That's it."

Although, like Courtney, he was very unhappy about Simon's idea of ​​making movies, the middle-aged fat man raised his hand and shook him, saying, "Boy, if you really want to shoot one day, remember to leave me a role. "

Simon is also not ink, simply said: "Of course no problem."

After chatting with Simon for a few words, Roger walked away leisurely.

Simon continued to work for more than half an hour, and when it was time to change shifts, after working with the employees of the next period, he left his convenience store with his light gray rucksack.
