Hollywood Hunter

at dusk.

Simon patiently waited for Janet to change a little formal dress, and the two left the villa.

The bodyguard has prepared the car for the two in advance.

Simon came out with Janet and politely nodded to two middle-aged people named Neil Bennett and Ken Dixon. Although they had been familiar for so many days, they still felt Somewhat weird.

The two bodyguards were not hired by Simon from the security company, but Janet borrowed them from their home.

Since his acquaintance, Simon has never voluntarily asked about Janet's family history, but the newspapers are full of information during this time, enough for him to understand too much.

Janet was born in the old Johnston family in Australia.

Although the family wealth is only about 2 billion US dollars, it is not conspicuous on the world rich list.However, the Johnston family has a very powerful potential influence in Australia.

Eight years ago, Australia suddenly abolished the inheritance tax and became the first country in the western developed countries to abolish this tax, which caused a sensation in the world.It is said that behind this incident was the strong promotion of the Johnston family.

Subsequently, Janet's grandfather, Nicholas Johnston, died in 1983. Due to the abolition of the inheritance tax, the Johnston family inherited the wealth of the previous generation completely.

Today, with its multiple shareholding structure and deep-rooted family influence, the Johnston family, which has flourished for centuries, is still firmly in control of Johnston Holdings, which is involved in multiple pillars of the Australian economy, including mining, animal husbandry, and transportation.

As the storm dissipated, the paparazzi gradually realized that it was too difficult to dig up news from a young director like Simon who did not go to nightclubs, drugs or fights, so there were significantly fewer media people chasing Simon during this time.

Of course, this is only relative.

Simon's SUV left the Palisades mansion, and there were still many cars closely following along the way.The dining location agreed with Mike Medova is at a restaurant next to Century City Ranch Park Golf Club.

At the destination, the two bodyguards expertly guarded Simon and Janet from the paparazzi who wanted to squeeze forward.After entering the restaurant, Janet took Simon's arm and leaned over to whisper in his ear: "If you don't like it, wait until we have the money to hire a bodyguard and send Neil and Ken back to Australia."

Simon said a word to the welcoming waiter, and then walked in the direction of the restaurant, while whispering to Janet: "They are very good, I just feel a little, um, weird."

This is what Simon said.

As a profession that is closest to the employer, a bodyguard with sufficient ability and trust can also be encountered.Although they only got along for a few weeks, Simon was able to feel that the professional qualities of the two Neal were absolutely impeccable.As for trust, when it comes to Janet, the Johnston family is naturally less likely to be sloppy in this regard.

Janet listened to Simon's words and smiled softly, no longer answering.

After walking some distance with the wait staff, the two came to a seat. Orion Pictures President Mike Medova had already got up and greeted him, greeted Simon and Janet enthusiastically.

The three then sat down.

After ordering food, he talked, and the topic was unknowingly transferred by Mike Medova to the upcoming 59th Academy Awards.

This year's Academy Awards will be held on March 30, which is next Monday.

At the moment, Orion has not only released the movie at the box office, but this year's Oscar has received a total of 18 Oscar nominations for films such as "Field Battle" and "Hannah Sisters". This period of time is infinitely beautiful.

Therefore, the recent Mike Medova raised his hands and throws his feet clearly with a sense of enthusiasm.

"This is it, Simon," Mike Medova looked at the young men and women sitting opposite him.

Simon didn't expect Mike Medova to mention this.

Relying on the large number of nominations obtained this year, Orion wants to temporarily arrange for one or two people to participate in the Oscar naturally.Due to the successful box office of "Rola Run", the Oscar side will obviously not be stingy with two additional invitations.

Moreover, attending the Academy Awards will definitely play a role in boosting the follow-up box office of "Laura Run".

just.

Following Mike Medova's proposal, a word appeared in Simon's mind.

rub!

So shameful.

So immediately shook his head, Simon said: "Mike, I will not go."

Mike Medova did not expect this opportunity to be squeezed by many small stars, but Simon refused without hesitation.A little stunned, she also looked at Janet next to Simon, hoping she could speak.Women should hope to be able to attend such occasions.

However, Janet apparently looked like she hadn't heard, and she was helping her boyfriend organize a napkin.

Ok.

It is also a very personal pair.

Mike Medova thought this way and smiled casually, saying: "Then forget it, Simon. I'm inviting you tonight, I just want to ask, what about the next movie?"

Simon knew that Mike Medova invited himself tonight mainly for this purpose, and did not hide it. He said: "There is already a complete idea, but the script will not be written until next month. Mike, you know that I have recently How busy."

"Of course, Orion is not in a hurry," Mike Medova said, but his body was slightly leaned forward. "So, Simon, let me talk about it first."

Simon sorted out his thoughts and said: "This is a B-level crime drama, composed of six independent but related stories. Similar to "Lola Run", I still hope to pass a An alternative non-linear narrative model intersperses all stories uniformly."

During this time, Simon has been thinking about his next movie.

After "Rola Run", Simon's next directed film is not difficult to achieve commercial success.But if Simon wants to maintain his popularity, or even go further, his next movie must be as refreshing as "Roller Run".

After careful consideration, Simon finally selected Quentin's "Pulp Fiction".

"Pulp Fiction" also belongs to a non-linear narrative structure, and it also pushes the non-linear narrative of the movie to a more realm.After the film appeared, it not only caused a strong response in the year it was released, but also caused a very profound impact on many directors in Hollywood, Britain and even the other side of the ocean.
