Chapter 78 Scam

Simon finished, and after Amy Pascal nodded slightly, she turned and walked towards him.

This party was asked by Simon to host Orion after he last heard Ron McMillan's message. At the beginning, everyone who helped finish "Rola Run" was invited, and Simon did his best to entertain.

The party continued until late at night, and Simon still got up early the next day.

Because you have to move.

The re-selected residence is on the hillside of Palisades in the northern part of Santa Monica City. The mansion is about one acre, more than double the size of Janet’s residence in Malibu. Excellent, standing in the mansion can easily overlook the magnificent seascape of the entire Los Angeles city and the foot of the mountain.

Of course, the monthly fee is as high as $15,000.

Although he has no particular preference for luxury homes, Simon has found that to ensure privacy, he can basically choose to rent this type of accommodation.

Speaking of which, Simon’s current family is actually more than enough to buy a mansion. He also prefers to live in his own house.However, it is at the peak of the US stock and property bubble in the 1980s.

If you can't see the future, Simon may also choose to buy a luxury house in this hot market.But he clearly remembered that with the crash of the stock market in the second half of this year, the US property market will also be affected and plunged sharply. When the time comes to choose to buy a house, not only will prices fall a lot, but there will certainly be more choices.

After a busy weekend, a new week will soon come.

However, early in the morning on Monday, Simon was awakened by the phone ringing in his sleep, and then the voice of Mike Medova asked him to receive the fax.

After some frustration, Simon saw an article on the East Coast "New York Times" with only one word in the title, "Scam", and the content came from a New York Times writer named Mark Horrington .

"For the first time I saw "Rola Run", I fell in love with this movie. All the details of the film's running mirror, color, soundtrack, editing, etc. gave me a refreshing feeling."

"The movie can still be made like this."

"However, when I heard that this movie came from an 18-year-old boy, I immediately fell into some kind of inexplicable confusion, and then began to recall my 18-year-old as the West Coast counterpart said in the article. , And even the 18-year-old of everyone around me."

"I grew up in a decent family, received a decent education, and had a lot of smart people around me. But I eventually discovered that none of the people I knew had any of them when they were 18 years old. You can complete the potential of such a great film. Yes, I am talking about'potential'. Even if they have received professional training in film, director, photography, soundtrack, lighting, etc. from childhood, I don't think there can be any of them You can finish a stunning film like "Rola Run" when you are 18 years old."

"Now, someone has done it."

"He personally wrote the script, personally acted as the director, personally carried the camera, personally completed the editing, personally completed the soundtrack... And all of this is excellent to be impeccable."

"Is this really possible?"

"So, while watching this movie repeatedly, I began to pay close attention to everything about this young director named Simon Westero. When the information in the newspaper was no longer sufficient for my personal needs, I even returned I rushed to San Francisco in person and stayed there for a full week."

"Simon Westeros, maybe he prefers others to call him that now."

"This boy grew up in a child welfare home in San Jose, San Francisco County. He has no relatives and no foster family. This is indeed sympathetic. Subsequently, Simon Westero relied on the federal welfare system to complete the obscurity. My studies from elementary school to high school,

"So, I can basically conclude that Simon Westero's film talent will never come from his youth."

"Next, Simon Westeros entered Stanford University. However, less than two months later, the poor young man was sent to a psychiatric hospital for nine months of treatment because of a sudden mental illness."

"Obviously, the two months at Stanford University are also not enough for Simon Westero to accumulate any film skills."

"Afterwards, I also visited the psychiatric hospital. The attending physician in charge of Simon Westero was very vigilant in face of my inquiries and did not disclose much to me. I even tried to obtain Simon West Luo’s case was reported to have been lost."

"Cleverly'lost'."

"Although I cannot determine what happened in the psychiatric hospital in nine months, a violent schizophrenic patient who has been able to leave the psychiatric hospital in nine months is very rare. He is obviously unlikely to be in Receive any film skills training in these nine months."

"Then a miracle happened."

"When Simon Westero appeared in Los Angeles, he immediately became a film genius with a variety of professional skills."

"Yes, it is definitely'genius'."

"Every detail of "Roller Run" makes him worthy of this word."

"Just, is this really possible?"

"A person who hasn't been involved in a movie since childhood has suddenly become a director; someone who has never touched a camera has suddenly become proficient in photography; someone who has never been able to get any training in music has suddenly mastered the soundtrack? And editing? , There are lights, there are other kinds?"

"As a film critic, a veteran movie fan, a film practitioner who has barely stepped into the entry threshold because of writing one or two scripts, although I have not participated in film production, I am very aware of any issues involved in the film production process. For a job to reach the top level, it takes a long and focused temper, no one can appear on the top of the mountain without climbing."

"Now, looking at the box office where "Rola Run" broke the table, watching the heated discussion in the media, watching the audience waiting in line in front of a theater, watching Simon Westero as a handsome young man The singer is chased by paparazzi, but my heart is more and more unable to get rid of a thought."

"scam."

"All of this is just a scam."

"First of all, I must state again that I have no doubt that the "Roller Run" is excellent. This is an excellent film that will fit in the history of Hollywood movies."

"but,"

"I never believe that so much of the work in the movie subtitles list is done by a young man like Simon Westero. I prefer to believe that all of this is just a behind-the-scenes player who arranges performances for huge benefits. farce."

"So, Simon Westero, if I am wrong, prove it to me! If you can prove it, I am willing to apologize to you in any form on any occasion. But if I am right, then tell the truth Everyone, tell all the fans who like this movie but are deeply deceived."
