Hollywood Hunter

West Hollywood.

It was half past six in the afternoon. Peter Butler had dinner with his girlfriend Peggy after get off work, and the two hurried to the cinema near the apartment.

Despite having a good personal relationship, Peter Butler still did not know the official content of "Butterfly Effect".Therefore, he rarely gets off work on time today and can’t wait to get a glimpse of it.

Peter's girlfriend Peggy is a tall, slender, white girl with glasses and a gentle look.

When the two sat down in the theater, Peggy couldn't help but say: "Peter, it is said that the critics are not very good at "Butterfly Effect", do we have to watch this movie?"

Due to poor feedback from film critics during the first trial, Fox has been carefully covering up the trial effect of "Butterfly Effect", and no public screening was held before the opening of the painting.

Therefore, until yesterday, the reputation of "Butterfly Effect" was only circulated among a few people in Hollywood.But now, the first batch of movie reviews on "Butterfly Effect" in the Afternoon Evening News has been released, and the media's response to the film is naturally difficult to cover up.

As a reporter, Peter Butler naturally learned of these earlier, but he still believed his judgment more.

Scanning the audience in the hall as the screening time approached, Peter Butler replied: "Peggy, don't you like "Roller Run"? Simon's movie should not disappoint everyone. ."

Peggy and Peter are of the same age and are 31 years old this year, working as a designer in an advertising company.

Although she greatly appreciated Simon's previous "Rola Run", she has always been a very sensible girl, and has passed the age of star chasing, and Simon Westeros has not been so popular with many young people.

However, considering the relationship between her boyfriend and the other party, Peggy didn't have too toxic tongue, just shrugged and said, "Maybe."

After waiting patiently for a few minutes, the lights in the auditorium dimmed.

Peter Butler looked around again, and the attendance rate in the auditorium, which can accommodate 100 people, has exceeded 70%, which is a very good statistic.Obviously, under the popularity of "Rola Run", the first weekend box office of "Butterfly Effect" will not be too bad anyway, the key is to watch the subsequent box office trend of the film.

During this time, "Rola Run" unexpectedly succeeded, Simon Westero naturally became famous, Peter Butler because of a series of interviews with Simon, was also concerned within the "Los Angeles Times" company.

As the largest newspaper in the western United States, the Los Angeles Times has a large team of more than 1,100 editors and reporters.Peter Butler, a young journalist in his early thirties, can attract high-level attention. It is definitely not an easy task.

Correspondingly, Peter Butler unconsciously tends to Simon.Subconsciously, Peter Butler has even made a decision. As long as the movie is not too bad to see, he will definitely help Simon to say a few good words.

On the big screen.

After the regular patch advertisement and the opening of the label, the hero, Ivan, played by Matt Dillon, carefully walked through a dark corridor into an office.Subsequently, the security guards and doctors slammed the door, and Ivan, hiding under his desk, quickly wrote a series of last words in his notebook, and then began playing a video cassette.

In the violent shaking of the picture, the lens has returned to Ivan's childhood.

In the auditorium, looking at the childhood scene of the actor who turned into a warm tone, Peter Butler still remembered the opening wedge just now.

It's a brilliant suspense creation, but at this point, Brian de Palma has successfully attracted the curiosity and attention of the audience.Over the next twenty minutes, Ivan’s childhood strange behaviors appeared on the big screen one after another, continuing to draw the curiosity of the audience.So until Ivan became an adult,

East Coast.

New Haven, Connecticut.

It's ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and will officially graduate from Yale next month. Jennifer Rebold has become increasingly busy recently, and he didn't take time to watch Simon's new movie with his friend Lisa Collins until eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, as the crowd walked out of the theater, the two girls looked at each other for a while, and they didn't know how to evaluate the "Butterfly Effect" just now.

Is this a good movie?

Compared to the "Roller Run" which is amazing in all aspects such as plot, camera, and soundtrack, "Butterfly Effect" does not have much to comment on except the idea of ​​traversing back to the past repeatedly.

Is this a bad movie?

The plot of the film is very complete, and cleverly interspersed.Compared to the real bad movies that make it hard to remember the plot after watching, many details in this movie are worth recalling.

simply put.

As two veteran movie fans who often enter the cinema, both Jennifer and Lisa find it difficult to get something to impress themselves from this movie.Moreover, to be fair, neither of them really like the desperate emotion expressed in this movie.

perhaps.

This is just a script written by that guy, and his next directed work is definitely worth looking forward to.

Jennifer was thinking this way, and there was a clear and deliberate voice rising around him: "This movie is really cool and more exciting than "Rola Run". I think we should take the time to watch it again."

Following the voice, Jennifer turned her head to look. She and Lisa were following three young boys aged seventeen or eighteen.

When the three boys saw Jennifer turn his head, his eyes were all bright, and then the other two boys also followed, and also accelerated some steps together, hurrying beside Jennifer and Lisa.

If it is usual, Jennifer is completely dismissive of such a bad talk.But this time, she took the initiative to look at the boy who had just spoken and asked, "Do you really think "Butterfly Effect" is cooler than "Rola Run"?"

"Of course, is it not cool enough to go back to the past with a diary?" The boy said without hesitation. "Not to mention, there is also the butterfly effect, compared with the details in "Rola Run". It’s the real butterfly effect that changes my life in an instant. And, finally, strangling myself by returning to the mother’s womb, hey, Simon Westero is really a genius."

Listening to the dancing gestures of the boy next to him, Jennifer felt like something flashed in his mind, but he couldn't catch it.Lisa's face holding her arm was more obvious.

With that said, I have stepped out of the theater unconsciously.

The three boys saw that Jennifer and the two were about to leave, and they caught up again. The boy just invited and said: "Hey, girls, how about going to the bar together, we know there is a bar nearby that does not check the age."

Before Jennifer hadn't answered, Lisa had already teased the three boys with a bit of humor: "Forget it, little guys, we have no interest in dating minors."

With a smile, he shook off the three boys and Lisa pulled Jennifer to the parking lot quickly.

After finding her car, the two girls got in the car, and Lisa, who was in charge of driving, started the car, and then suddenly reached out and gently grabbed on the beautiful golden ponytail of Jennifer, still smiling, saying: "Let you pierce this all day , Be treated as a little girl."

Jennifer flicked her hair and reached down to beat Lisa. "You drive, I'm a little sleepy."

Lisa drove the car out of the parking lot with the steering wheel, and looked at Jennifer or thoughtfully, saying, "Aren't you thinking about Westeros?"

Jennifer's face suddenly turned red, but he immediately retorted: "It's what you think, right, you adore him so much."

Lisa was not as shy as Jennifer, and said frankly: "A man so powerful, I don't know when I will see you again. I don't plan to go to California. Isn't your uncle his personal lawyer? Help me when it's time Send some autographed photos back. And, if you can grab Simon Westero from Janet Johnston, I will fly to Los Angeles in person to help you celebrate the party."

Jennifer listened to Lisa more and more outrageously, reaching out blushingly: "What nonsense you are."

Lisa opened her mouth, biting her neat white teeth in a small hand that wanted to cover her mouth, and scared Jennifer before she smiled: "I just said what you said in my heart. Come on, Jenny."

"I decided to stop talking to you for the next ten minutes."

Lisa chuckled and saw that Jennifer really no longer ignored herself and drove the car indifferently.

After a while, I glanced at my co-pilot's friend again, and saw that her fading blush was still a little worried, and suddenly said: "There is no need to worry so, I think this movie may just be for those The Maotou kids are watching."

With the release of the film on the first day, movie reviews of "Butterfly Effect" also appeared on various media platforms on a large scale.

"After "Rola Run", Simon Westero once again built a wonderful story that explores the countless possibilities of life with his excellent imagination. The "Butterfly Effect" made me realize that the lives of each of us, It’s all made up of countless bits and pieces of time, you can’t change, you can’t get rid of it, you can’t regret it. Real life is destined to have only one result.”

This is a film review article published by Peter Butler in the Los Angeles Times the next day.

Although in the process of watching the movie, Peter Butler's perception of the film is similar to the two daughters of Jennifer on the east coast, but he still wrote an article of approval.

However, apart from Peter Butler, too many film critics in North America are very unkind, expressing their aversion to "Butterfly Effect" completely.

"No one can save these boring repetitive clips."-"Variety"

"Matt Dillon, who has wonderful performances in films such as "The Edge of the River" and "The Outsider", picking this movie is really the biggest mistake in his life."-"Entertainment Weekly"

"The pessimistic theme, the chaotic narrative, the boring characters, this is really the most boring movie in recent times."-"Film Salon"

"Simon Westero may want to express some deeper philosophical thinking through the "Butterfly Effect", but the result is only a boring film that has no meaning at all."-"New York Observer"

"..."

"..."

In this series of bad reviews, Mark Horrington, a contributor to the New York Times who initially questioned Simon, once again took the lead and said bluntly that'The Butterfly Effect is completely a stupid and pretentious The extraordinary chaotic film, I can't understand exactly what Simon Westero wants to express through such an annoying movie'.

After all, the success of "Laura Run" has too many accidental factors. Therefore, the box office performance of "Butterfly Effect" is also very important for Simon's subsequent development in Hollywood.

Even, it was only Saturday, in the face of a bad review of "Butterfly Effect", Ronald Goldberg could not wait to call, hoping to organize a production meeting of "The Grim Reaper", he wanted Participate in person.

This obviously violates the agreement originally signed by both parties.

Obvious.

If the "Butterfly Effect" ultimately fails at the box office, the three projects that Simon is advancing will be very seriously affected.
