Hollywood Hunter

"Vinson, not black gears, I need the bright gears with metallic luster, preferably stainless steel."

"Do you need grooves on the sides? Like the gears in Chaplin's "Modern Times", I think that would be more artistic."

"No, no grooves are needed on the sides."

"It will look very monotonous, Simon, I will show you a part to know."

"Of course I know, but the multiple gears overlap to create a three-dimensional sense, so that it will not be monotonous, just like my concept picture."

"Simon, although your concept picture is beautiful, it is actually very amateur."

"So I am a customer, you are the shop owner, Vinson, how to achieve my idea as much as possible is yours. Moreover, when the wall clock is running, these gears must all rotate with it, and I need to give a very strong time Sense of passing."

"Two options, Simon, if you only need to show such an effect, I can set up another power system, which is very simple and cheap. If you want to integrate this set of gears with the mechanical structure of the clock, Together, it may take two or three months to wait, and it's expensive."

"I choose the first."

"Okay, then, take a look at your next concept picture, this is, um, butterfly?"

At the counter of the Strong Watch Store, Sandra Bullock still sat quietly beside the boy with Simon’s backpack, listening to a series of conversations between him and the owner of the watch store Vincent Strong, although With a smile on his face, he felt a bit distressed that he couldn't even talk.

At the same time, Sandra looked at the two conceptual diagrams that Simon showed to the shop owner more than once.

These are two wall clocks.

The first pendant, the main body is composed of many dense gears, because it is only a light gray pencil drawing, it is really easy to reminiscent of the scene in Chaplin's "Modern Times".

The other clock is a butterfly with very beautiful patterns, and the patterns and textures on the butterflies are cleverly divided for twelve hours.Listening to the conversation between Simon and the owner, he seems to want to make it golden, it must be more beautiful.

Simon and the owner discussed for more than ten minutes, and confirmed the various details and customized prices of the two wall clocks in detail.

Finally, after paying the deposit, Simon left the watch shop with Sandra.

Standing on the street, Sandra watched Simon start to look around again, cheering up, and smiled casually: "So, where are we going next?"

Although the girl covered up very well, Simon still felt a slight complaint in Sandra's tone, and pointed his finger to a cafe diagonally across the street: "Now, please drink coffee and talk about the movie."

Some dissatisfaction that had just risen in my heart disappeared.

I found myself seeming to be happily following him across the street, and secretly mocked myself.

Promising guy.

but.

it does not matter.

Simon locked the bicycle on the street, and the two went into the cafe together and found a place to sit down.

After ordering coffee and a plate of muffins, Sandra first asked, "Simon, what are those two wall clocks for?"

Simon explained patiently: "Two shooting props, a gear wall clock is used to shoot the beginning of the movie, and a butterfly wall clock is the setting in Laura's room. As a clock, of course they both represent the passage of time. However, the butterfly wall clock has another meaning. , I hope this movie will make some pavement for my other movie."

In the original "Rola Run", the two clock props that appeared in succession were European retro types.This is also very much in line with the overall style of the old European metropolis in Berlin.

However, Simon is now in Los Angeles.

A new and vibrant city.

Therefore, if you continue to copy the original, the two European retro clocks will appear very inconsistent in the new version of the film.

Since the time, location, storyline, etc. of the new version of the film need to be adjusted a lot, Simon is actually remaking another completely different "Roller Run".

In this case, Simon also intends to show some completely different concepts from the original.

In fact, the original "Roller Run" did not convey much esoteric philosophical thinking, even just some specious reasons.

Director Tom Tickaway just wanted to show his various ideas accumulated as a crazy video game fan through a movie, so he wrote the script quickly and filmed quickly. The actor is his good friend, female The protagonist is his girlfriend, and most of the other characters are acquaintances. Everyone happily made a very fun movie.

Now, Simon’s purpose in making this film is also very simple and clear.

First: make a cool movie and show Hollywood your abilities.

Second: Through the production of this film, re-familiarize with the production process of Hollywood films in the film era.

Third: Promote the concept of the'butterfly effect' and pave the way for the future release of "Butterfly Effect".

Among these, the first two points are the goals that Simon must accomplish. The third point is incidental. If it can be achieved, it is naturally better, and it does not matter if it is not achieved.

However, although the third goal depends on luck, Simon has spared no effort in showing details.

The two wall clocks that have just been customized, the first modern gear wall clock is designed to match the new shooting environment.The second butterfly wall clock is clearly suggesting the concept of the'butterfly effect'.

In fact, Simon intends to set three images of'butterfly' in the film.

With only one or two words, it is not easy to leave a deep impression on the audience, and more than three will appear too flooded. Setting three images is just right.

The waiter brought the two's coffees, Sandra waited for the other to leave, and asked, "Another movie? Are you going to make two movies?"

"No," Simon shook his head and said, "The other is "Butterfly Effect." You should have heard about these days these days? I wrote the script."

Sandra just signed a contract with Jonathan last week. In the next few days, the media storm surrounding the WMA packaging project caused the company to fight internally. The girl was still a little worried that if she just signed a contract, she would need to find another agent. How is it possible? I don't know "Butterfly Effect".

However, in any case, she did not expect that the "Butterfly Effect" script would be written by the opposite big boy.

After staring at Simon for a few moments, Sandra finally let out a low sigh: "Wow!"

Simon just shrugged and continued: "Most people who have seen the "Butterfly Effect" script feel that the name is too popular. The plot of "Laura Run" just happens to explain the concept of the "Butterfly Effect" very vividly. So, Through the clear prop suggestion of the butterfly wall clock, I hope that "Laura Run" will let more people know the term "butterfly effect."
