Hollywood Hunter

Simon drove to the restaurant near Brentwood Country Club last time.

Waiting for a while, Catherine and Janet rushed over together.

Sitting in the restaurant, Simon looked at Catherine, who was clearly in a low mood today, and tentatively asked, "Has the opening of "Blood Corpse Night" changed again?"

Catherine hadn't spoken yet, Janet said: "I'm afraid it will be late."

Simon recently also saw some news about DeLaurentis Entertainment Group, the production company of "Blood Corpse Night", and heard concerns about "How could this be?"

The restaurant waiter came over at this time and the three of them suspended the conversation.

After ordering dinner, Catherine said: "Producer Edward Feldman called me this afternoon. DeLaurentis Entertainment is completely out of money. We must wait until the end of the year to recover the share of several movies released this year. My movie can only be started."

Simon also felt a little silent when he heard Catherine say this.

There are many examples of a movie that has been delayed for months or even years due to funding, original creation, etc., and is completely abrupt in Hollywood. Catherine’s experience is not surprising.

A moment later, Simon said: "So, Catherine, have you lost your job again during this time?"

Catherine nodded absently. "Yeah."

Simon said: "In this case, shall you help me?"

Catherine raised her head with some uncertainty: "Huh?"

Simon said: ""Lola Run", this movie will start shooting next month."

"However, I probably have to..."

Catherine raised her hand and gestured, but she couldn't find a good excuse for a while, so she turned to Janet beside her.

When Janet heard Simon’s words, her eyes flickered, flickering.

Simon also looked at it. Janet’s eyelashes are very long, and there is no need to apply false eyelashes at all. It will be very beautiful when she blinks: "Jenny, if you want to order another foie gras, people who blink often should lack vitamin D, and the animal liver is just right Rich in these."

Listening to Simon's ridicule, Janet suddenly stopped blinking, grabbing the fork with a sly expression and poked at Simon with a sly expression.

Catherine smiled and watched the two interact, saying, "I think it's okay."

"Why should I forget?" Janet suddenly opened her mouth and reached for Catherine's arm. "Kate, let's all go. I'm a big investor. If necessary, maybe I can still The director fired and let you come."

Simon listened to Janet's teeth clenching her teeth, and her hands were panic-stricken, her head folded and she begged for mercy: "Jenny, I'm wrong. Would you like to order two foie gras?"

Janet threw a stack of napkins on Simon's head and said, "Little bastard, hit you."

After a while of laughter, Catherine agreed with Janet and agreed to serve as Simon's deputy director.The final agreed "remuneration" is that Simon will also help the crew of "Blood Corpse Night" for a while.

Janet originally had no interest in the production of "Rola Run". Simon had previously suggested that women come together as producers. It was not the kind of name. The lazy Janet just took Simon to help the camera in the casino. In the painting of a butterfly-themed mural, this is one of the three hints of the "butterfly effect" theme in the film.

With the addition of Catherine, Janet also got involved and participated.

then.

Early the next morning, Janet ran to work with great interest.

The time is eight o'clock in the morning.

Although Simon is used to getting up early, he has just had breakfast at this time.

Hearing the doorbell, Simon ran to open the door, so he saw a pair of Janet dressed as OL.

Seeing that Simon’s eyes were swept away,

Simon nodded stiffly under the woman's "claw" before Janet let go of his head.

Following Simon into the villa, Janet couldn't wait to ask: "Little boy, what are we doing today?"

Simon came to the kitchen, picked up the cutlery that had just come to the sink, and said simply: "rest."

Janet leaned in, dissatisfied and said: "How can this be, as an ambitious person, you are so unimpressive."

Simon did not explain.

Although there is still more than a week before the start of shooting, Simon will not have any leisure time from next Monday until the end of the movie. This weekend is also the only time for rest in the next few months.

After washing the dishes, Simon left the kitchen and turned to the bedroom.

Keeping Janet, who wants to follow along, stepped out of the door, Simon changed clothes and came out again, and then said to the woman: "Go."

"what are you doing?"

"Shopping."

Janet suddenly got interested, and no longer mentioned the words that made Simon go forward, and reached over and grabbed his arm and said, "Do you want to buy clothes? I just can help you. Speaking, you are really poor at picking clothes. Alright. But hehe, the little boy looks good in any clothes."

"Jenny, can I change my name?"

"little bastard?"

"Forget it, when I didn't say it."

"Ha ha."

The two came outside the villa, Simon pointed to the Chevrolet SUV parked on the open ground, Janet turned to the co-pilot, and touched the SUV hood intimately, saying hello: "Hey, big guy ."

Simonla drove the door and heard Janet's words, glaring helplessly at the woman on the other side.

It was so provocative.

Leaving the house, Simon drove Janet in the car for a whole morning, but basically did not leave Santa Monica, just changing the bookstores one after another.

Had lunch in the city and returned to Montana.

Beside the long table under the garden scaffold in the backyard, Janet looked at dozens of movie-related books such as "Director Basics", "Movie Lens Design", and "Editing Techniques" piled up on the table, with a suspicious expression in Simon After repeatedly looking at the book a few times, Nane asked: "Little boy, you, you are not going to tell me that the movie is about to start shooting, do you remember to learn a little bit of these things?"

Simon picked up a book at random, leaned comfortably on a reclining chair beside him, enjoying the afternoon sun that had fallen between the vines and leaves above his head, and nodded, "Yeah, otherwise how to make a movie."

This is actually a small problem that Simon recently realized.

Simon, a lot of the work in "Rola Run", intends to do it by himself. In this case, he can never tell others that his skills about filmmaking have fallen from the sky.

Now, with this large pile of books, those curious people can be given an excuse to barely make it.

Self taught.

More inspirational.

Janet belongs to the kind of woman who is very respectful and optimistic. To put it bluntly, she is lazy.On a weekday, Xiaonaogua can turn half a circle and never turn a circle, but in fact it is extremely clever. This can be seen from the only words that Catherine and Simon had said.

Therefore, she continued to look between Simon and the book, and she realized something.

Then I was too lazy to think about it.

Seeing Simon leaning comfortably on the recliner, he stepped over like a cat, squeezing close to each other, and rubbing, and found that Simon did not mean to squeeze a recliner with himself, and ran out angrily.

Less than half an hour later, another set of recliners was delivered by the furniture store.

After a good weekend with red sleeves (luàn), the start date of "Laura Run" is getting closer.

At this time, the film's crew has also been completed.

Simon Westero: director, producer; Brian de Palma: executive producer; Ron McMillan: producer; Janet Johnston: producer; Catherine · Bigelow: Associate Director; Linda Vargas, Casting Director.

Sandra Bullock: heroine; Keanu Reeves: heroine.

In addition to the main creation, after more than a month of busy work, a series of supporting roles and behind-the-scenes staff of the film have also been basically finalized.

So, on September 30, the new Monday.

Although still not officially shooting, Simon's work schedule suddenly became tense.

In a week, Simon needs to determine too many things.

The makeup of the main actors.

Communicate the production of film insertion animation with the determined animation studio.

Coordinate the actor's script reading session.

Formally submitted a series of street photography applications to the Santa Monica City Government.

Rental shooting props.

Familiar with the staff behind the scenes.

Etc., etc.

So busy, Simon's daily rest time was compressed to within six hours.

Until the weekend, the rest of the staff began to rest, and Simon was still personally setting the scene of the Rolla room.

More and more I felt Simon's professionalism and investment, and several of the crew's main creators gradually developed a sense of identity with "Rola Run".

So, when Simon was busy setting up Laura's room in an apartment building in the northwest corner of Montana on the weekend, three women, Catherine, Janet and Sandra, rushed over, and producer Ron McMillan also rushed After coming over, he claimed that he was too busy on the weekend, but just came to help, and did not need to pay him overtime.

To Simon's surprise, the actor Keanu Reeves also rushed over.In these days of getting along, Simon also realized that Keanu Reeves was interested in his movie, still because of the five leg bones that Simon had broken.

Although two months have passed, the leg bones of those five youths have not recovered.

Obviously to avoid the attention of too many people, when Simon was still hospitalized in the medical center, five people hurriedly went through the transfer procedures. It is said that he was transferred to San Diego City in southern California.

However, this deliberate cover-up actually made more people interested in the events of the day.At the "Plan X" movie starring Fox by Matthew Broderick, a reporter also boldly asked Matthew Broderick's views on the incident that day, and the scene was very embarrassing.

Simon has completely ignored this matter.

After another weekend.

On Monday, October 7, "Butterfly Effect" officially announced the start of shooting at Fox Studios.

Simon also specifically participated in the film's start-up ceremony that day.

Immediately thereafter, on Tuesday, October 8, "Rola Run" also began filming in obscurity in an apartment on the northwest side of the sea in the Montana district of Santa Monica.
