Hollywood Hunter

Although prepared, the ensuing storm of public opinion was fiercer than everyone thought.

After the article in the New York Times splashed a Mars, it seemed that suddenly, many media had originally questioned the surprise and appreciation of "Laura Run".

In fact, this question has been around since the release of "Rola Run".

In any case, a young man who was only 18 years old and had no chance to study in a formal film school suddenly made an excellent film like "Rola Run".

However, before the "New York Times" article, everyone was surrounded by an atmosphere of admiration and admiration for talented teenagers.Even if someone raises an objection, it is often regarded as jealous.

Now, the authoritative newspapers such as The New York Times, which has powerful influence all over the world, have taken the lead in questioning, coupled with the secret promotion of intentional people, all the remarks that were originally suppressed by the mainstream wind direction have been noisy.

"Puppet or genius? The core position of "Laura Run" is very difficult to perform."

"Analysis of the soundtrack process of the movie, on why Simon Westero couldn't personally complete the soundtrack of "Rola Run"."

"Amazing camera, false behind the scenes."

"The eighteen-year-old scam deceived the entire federal film marketing at once."

"Simon Westeros high school classmate: He works hard, but he cannot be a film director."

"The real "capital" and "technology" of "Rola Run", Janet Johnston, daughter of the tycoon, and Catherine Bigelow, a senior student at Columbia University's Film Academy."

"The former lighting engineer of "Roller Run" accused Simon Westeros of having a good look."

"..."

"..."

For a time, not only newspapers, but also major radio and television stations in North America participated in this discussion and began to be keen to find all kinds of evidence that Simon Westero could not have the ability to shoot "Laura Run" In the city of San Jose where Simon grew up, he once again welcomed many reporters from all over the country, and the scale of the reporters around the mansion of Simon also expanded again.

On the other hand, Simon's team quickly made a counterattack.

However, instead of rushing to clarify the facts, he pointed at Mark Horrington who published the questioning article in the New York Times.

Early in the morning of the next day, Daenerys Pictures issued an official statement through the Los Angeles Times, blaming Mark Horrington for making it impossible for him to shoot "Laura" based only on Simon's growing environment. The conclusion of "Fast Running" is a kind of arrogance and prejudice stemming from its own incompetence, and even a discrimination against the people at the bottom of the Federation with a shallow sense of superiority holding its own wealthy middle class.

In the United States, the big hat lethality of'discrimination' is too great.

Mark Horrington responded as soon as possible, publicly saying that he only asked Simon Westero to stand up and prove that he had the professional ability to shoot "Rola Run" and did not have any discriminatory intentions.

This time, Simon did not respond again.

However, an article in the New York Post under the News Corporation soon appeared, dismissing Mark Horrington's request to make a person'self-innocent' is a very bad rogue act.Since Mark Horrington believes that "Roller Run" was not filmed by Simon Westero, then he should personally produce solid evidence, otherwise, the hasty questioning is a serious violation of the reputation of others.Simon Westero has every reason to initiate an infringement lawsuit against him.

After such a confrontation, Mark Horrington, who was unable to parry, suddenly fell silent.

However, since the storm of public opinion has already been set off, it is impossible to eliminate it easily.

In the next few days, through digging into more details about Simon’s growth and past, and through the analysis of the content of the film "Roller Run",

With the help of WMA, Fox Pictures, Orion Pictures, etc., Simon has come and gone.

At the same time, Brian de Palma, David Giller, Robert Redford, and some other Hollywood people who have good relations with Simon also began to endorse Simon.

In addition, after two days of emergency consultations, Fox Pictures President Ronald Goldberg approved Amy Pascal's resignation application in advance.

Daenerys Pictures immediately held a press conference announcing that Ms. Amy Pascal, the former Vice President of Production at Fox Pictures, was about to join Daenerys Pictures as the company's president.

The announcement of this news undoubtedly made many people who began to waver under the influence of various bombing and questioning news once again strengthen their confidence in Simon.After all, if Simon is just a young man with a good reputation, it is absolutely impossible to recruit a vice president of a big film company to work for him.

However, there were also newspapers that took the initiative to reveal the'truth', claiming that Amy Pascal switched to Daenerys Pictures only to personally be responsible for the upcoming investment by Fox Pictures and Simon Westeros as the'producer' "The Grim Reaper is Coming", which shows that Fox Pictures has doubts about Simon Westero's ability.

It was so disturbing until March 13, Friday.

Many things have come to a tipping point.

Because of this day, the box office data for the tenth movie week in 1987 was officially released.

The media disturbance on weekdays inevitably caused many ordinary people to have doubts about the truth behind "Rola Run", but in just a few days, the box office of this film has not been greatly affected.

In the new week, the box office number of "Lola Run" finally reached 25.62 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office was 57.71 million US dollars.

Obviously, just the nationwide large-scale release in the first week almost doubled the North American box office of Roller Run.In the next two to three weeks, as long as there is no big drop, the total box office of "Laura Run" will successfully break through the $100 million mark.

Followed by "Rola Run" is still "lethal weapon".

The box office of the $15 million big production movie had a box office of $8.82 million in the first week.

Although the screen size is more than a hundred more than "Rola Run", and the word of mouth is not bad, but the box office appeal of "Fatal Weapons" is obviously far from the "event movie like "Rola Run" 'Compared to the box office, it is naturally only one third of its size.

Even, after counting the subsequent "Field Battle", "Meng Gui Street 3" and "Angel Heart", the sum of the last four films in the top five box office this week is only 27.63 million US dollars, only with the "Lola Express" The box office data for a movie "Run" is comparable.

In the afternoon.

Inside a cliff mansion in Palisades, Los Angeles.

Catherine Bigelow took the coffee that Janet handed over, and saw the Janet girl sitting down beside her, smiling and hiding her side, not letting her stick to her, and then facing Simon on the other side of the sofa. Road: "Did you not go out in the past few days?"

Simon looked at Catherine who had rushed back from Arizona, and was very moved.

During this time, although there was a lot of trouble in the media, many people I met in the past six months, Brian de Palma, David Giller, Sandra Bullock, Jonathan Friedman Waiting, they are providing enough concern and support to him.

Although Simon has the calmness of being a man of the two generations, he has accumulated a lot of negative emotions under the mad questions of the media.It was these people's concern that Simon's mentality was not greatly affected.

Hearing the woman's question, Simon nodded and said, "Yeah, I can't do anything anyway when I go out. I just stay at home."

In recent days, the reporters staying outside Simon's mansion have not shown any signs of decreasing.

In order to avoid these troubles, Simon either contacted the outside world by telephone, or Mike Medova, Pat Kingsley and others rushed over in person. He did not go out at all.

Doing this really calms you down a lot.However, much of the work at Simon's hand has basically stopped.

Although Ronald Goldberg approved Amy's resignation application in advance for his own benefit, Fox delayed holding down the contract to sign "The Grim Reaper" as soon as possible.

In order to "Butterfly Effect" a month later, although Fox will not secretly do the same as those of other people, and also actively offered help, but now it is clearly still watching the follow-up development of the situation.

In all fairness, this matter continues to the present, regardless of the result, Simon will be difficult to completely get rid of doubt for a long time.Some things, even if they are fake, are said to be tens of thousands of times, and those who are destined to be difficult to clear are cleared by themselves.

Catherine holding her coffee cup, seeing Simon looking at herself, she looked sideways and said, "Then, what are you going to do next?"

"This matter should also be over," Simon replied: "I'm going to New York tomorrow. I have already contacted NBC's "Tonight Show". The schedule for next Monday will be explained and announced on the show."

Although Catherine hadn't encountered the situation at the moment, she felt that this kind of thing could not be ended so easily, and asked: "So, is it okay?"

"There will definitely be follow-up media actions," Simon gave Catherine a reassuring look and turned to the woman himself: "As for your side, I remember it happened to be the mirror this week?" "

Catherine nodded and said: "However, next week I will go to Oklahoma to get some location, and then I will go back to Los Angeles to do the post."

The story of "Blood Corpse Night" took place in Oklahoma, but due to climate, tax rebate and other reasons, the shooting location was Arizona, so in order not to appear too weary, it does need some outdoor supplements.

Simon said: "I will help you later."

Catherine smiled shyly and said, "Someone will say in the future that my movie was not shot by Catherine Bigelow."

Simon smiled and said, "This is just right. I happen to have this kind of trouble."

After chatting for a while, Jonathan Friedman, Mike Medova, Pat Kingsley, Amy Pascal and others came to Simon's residence again.Tomorrow, we will rush to New York. Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to go. This afternoon, we just need to sort out the next coping strategies.
