Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 53 Audition

Spend Christmas and hurried away in the last week of 1986.

In an instant, it was 1987.

At the beginning of the new year, the video and sound editing work of "Rola Run" was successfully completed.Due to the excellent lens quality, Simon completed the color matching of the samples in only one week.

Subsequently, "Roller Run" began the final printing process.

On the other hand, "Butterfly Effect" also hit the previous mid-December and entered the post-production stage.

Simon learned from David Giller and Brian de Palma that Fox has not completely finalized the date of "Butterfly Effect", which needs to be decided according to the quality of the film.

However, the two most likely dates are either summer or Easter.

In this era, the popularity of the Easter period in North America is still not as high as it was later. Hollywood's most important period is still only the summer and the end of the year.

The box office results of "Butterfly Effect" are crucial to Simon's subsequent development in Hollywood. He naturally hopes that this movie will be fixed in the popular summer file.However, this is obviously not something he can decide.

Now, only Simon can control the autonomy.

With time stuck, on January 13, Simon finally got the final copy of "Rola Run".

January 14.

Fox Studios, the time is in the afternoon.

In a screening room in the studio, David Giller and Brian de Palma entered the room together and found that a large group of people had gathered in the screening room, basically all members of the crew at the time of the shooting of "Rola Run" .

Noting the arrival of the two, Simon, who was chatting with everyone, quickly got up and greeted him, and the others nodded.

Since they are also busy in the later period of "Butterfly Effect", Simon hasn't met many people these days. He greeted him and sat down and chatted for a while. David Giller said: "Simon, can we start?" ?"

"Sorry, David, wait a second," Simon shook his head. "Mr. Sanders promised to come over, but he hasn't arrived yet."

David Gilles nodded with understanding.

Simon invited the vice president of Fox Pictures Peter Sanders, apparently related to the release of "Rola Run".David Giller also specifically pointed out the details of Simon's release a few days ago.

After Simon finished speaking, he raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. After the appointed time had passed, he simply got up and planned to go outside to see the screening.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Simon had hesitated whether to go and see the administrative building in person before Peter Sanders' figure turned out of the side corridor.Seeing Simon waiting outside the projection room, Peter Sanders still showed a sorry look on his face, reaching out and saying, "I'm sorry, Simon, just ended a meeting."

"It's okay," Simon smiled and shook his hand with the other person's smile. "So, Peter, let's go in."

"Of course, I look forward to your movie."

The two entered the screening room. Peter Sanders greeted the crowd enthusiastically. Looking around, the screening room had a total of six seats, separated from the middle by the left and right.On the left side of the first row are David Giller and Brian de Palma, and on the right are Janet and Catherine, with one space left on each side.

Hesitating for a moment, Peter Sanders sat down next to David Giller.

Simon stood next to Peter Sanders, noticing the other's hesitant details, and only slightly smiled.

Although smooth, but from this point of view, Peter Sanders is obviously not too atmospheric.

As the top executive of Fox Pictures directly responsible for the "Butterfly Effect" project, because he has been hung out by David Giller and Brian de Palma during the film production process, he obviously does not want to sit with the two.However, Peter Sanders did not dare to publicly express this contradiction.

After Peter Sanders sat down, Simon instructed the auditorium staff to sit down next to Janet.

The lights in the projection room quickly dimmed.

Although I have watched the samples in advance, I have been busy for half a year and finally have to officially accept the test of the audience. Simon is still a little nervous at this time and can't help but clenched his fists.

A small cool hand stretched out in the dark, patting on the back of Simon's fisted hand.

Simon turned his head and noticed Janet's shiny eyes, smiled at her, and in turn held the cool little hand in his big hand.

As it was the first screening of "Lola Run", Catherine, who was about to go to Arizona to shoot "Blood Corpse Night", also took the time to rush over.

At this time, sitting on the other side of Janet, Catherine noticed Simon's movement of holding Janet's small hand in her palm, and her eyes flashed a little bit of loneliness.After returning to Los Angeles just after the New Year, Catherine clearly felt a further relationship between Simon and Janet.

Before Catherine asked, Janet took the initiative to tell her about Christmas Eve.

I don't know the occlusion at all.

It wasn't until Catherine couldn't bear to cover Janet's small mouth that Nizi stopped Barra.

As much as possible, I wanted to make myself forget about Janet’s various naggings, but, casually glancing at Simon’s side, Catherine still remembered Janet shaking five white and tender fingers to describe the first time in her life I was tossed with a "tragic experience" all night.

Unconsciously, the cheeks began to heat, and Catherine quickly focused her attention on the big screen in front of her.

Although she understands the character of the two people beside her, she feels that it may be the taste of Jenny.

but.

Where do women need reasoning?

Ok.

Who said this?

Thinking this, Catherine flashed a vocabulary that Janet used to criticize a guy.

There was a bit of grudge in the bottom of my heart.

Animals!

A small hand touched it unconsciously, trying to pull himself.

turn on.

It's greedy, it's not enough to be held on the other side.

Watching movies?

On the bright big screen, waiting for a moment, with a slight sound of projector running, the movie started playing.

The first is a line of subtitles.

In the future "Butterfly Effect", there will be an explanation of the term "Butterfly Effect", and Simon will not add such a beginning for "Roller Run".

However, Simon still adjusted the opening subtitles of the original version, and only retained a paragraph of the English poet T.S. Eliot.

When the subtitles fell, the click of the second hand began to sound quickly, and as the bright silver pendulum turned, several lines of subtitles appeared one after another.

Production company: Daenerys Pictures.

Executive producers: Brian de Palma, David Giller, Robert Redford.

Director: Simon Westeros.

Since Brian was willing to be named, Simon would not pretend to be modestly obscured, and put the names of the three bigwigs in the most prominent place at the beginning.

As the pendulum stops, the lens is pushed to Simon's customized metal gear clock, and the fast-paced electronic music that will run through the entire film will also follow.The infectious music unconsciously guides the emotions of everyone in the screening room.

Then came the walking dead crowd, and a narration centered on the philosophical proposition "Who am I, where am I, what am I going to do?"

However, despite such a philosophical narration, the movie leaves no time for the audience to think.

The dynamic electronic music seems to urge everyone to run all the way.

then.

In the head of the cartoon, Laura started running.

Until the beginning of the whole story.

The inertia generally quickly pulled into the lens, and the striking red telephone ringing sounded.

The young man, Manny, received the transaction task entrusted by the boss, and everything went well.When returning, the agreed girlfriend, Laura, did not pick him up on time. He had to find a way to return to the city himself, and then lost the transaction money.

100,000.

Enough to let the boss burn him into the sea.

Panicked, Manny complained to Laura over the phone in tears.

To save his boyfriend's life, Laura had to raise $100,000 in a short time and sent it to a phone booth in downtown Santa Monica.

She only has 20 minutes.

Without hesitation, he rushed out of the house without hesitation.

Running all the way.

When I came to my father's office as a bank manager, instead of getting help, I was pierced.

Failed to get the money, he still ran to the end without giving up.

Boyfriend has entered the supermarket with a gun.

Well, you insist on being Clyde, I am your Bonnie.

The robbery was successful.

Escape failed.

He was shot and killed by a stupid rookie policeman.

Not reconciled.

Then come back.

The fall of the red phone is the starting point again.

This time, I’m Bonnie, you don’t have to be Clyde.

Seems successful.

Until the last moment.

God didn't seem to like the people who got nothing for nothing, so he took him away.

Keep coming back.

Leaping neighbors and evil dogs trying to block the road in the corridor may save a second or waste a second.

Who knows?

Anyway, he missed his father, but met the casino.

then.

Everything seems to be going well.

I made 100,000 US dollars and successfully rushed to my destination.

The beggar who accidentally picked up the 100,000 US dollars got the thief's bicycle, and also rushed to his boyfriend in advance to return the money.

Perfect ending.
