Chapter 167 Media Feedback

Butch escaped desperately, and after a weird and weird day, he took his little girlfriend to the end of the world, and the'Gold Watch' paragraph ended.

The story continues, but the plot turns back to the anti-bone apartment visited by Vincent and Jules.

An anti-bone man hiding in the toilet took advantage of Vinson and Jules to jump out of the gun and fired randomly. As a result, they were all empty and was regarded as a miracle by Jules, and the idea of ​​retreat was born. Vinson insisted that this was just a accident.During the dispute between the two partners, they accidentally shot their undercover heads, and blood stained the whole car.

In order to avoid being stopped by the police, Jules hurried to a nearby friend's home named Jimmy to deal with the problem. The violent Jimmy had no feeling for the two with blood stains, and ignored the headless corpse in the car, just worrying about it. The reaction of his wife Bonnie after returning home from the night shift, this strong sense of absurdity once again made the audience unbearable.

Mr. Wolf, who specializes in solving problems, appeared and finally revealed the role of Robert Redford in the fans' expectations.

Several big men solved the corpse problem seriously to avoid the trouble caused by Jimmy's wife's return, pushing the film's absurdity to the extreme. The film critics in the hall also began to understand why the last paragraph was called'Bonnie's situation'.

Bonnie, an ordinary night nurse, has never appeared positively, but it is completely beyond the normal people's logical accident and became the key factor driving this black comedy plot.

Getting the body done, Vinson and Jules chose a roadside cafe to eat, and accidentally encountered the "Little Rabbit" and "Little Pumpkin" played by Madonna and Sean Pan, and the plot ended in a perfect circle. Close the curtain.

The ending caption slowly rose, and Mike Medova turned his head once again in the dark to scan the hall, and the heart he lifted up finally fell a lot again.

At the Cannes Film Festival, there are often cases where the audience withdraws in advance because of a movie that is too bad or resists the idea of ​​the film. McMedova has been worried about the large number of violent scenes and drug use scenes in "Pulp Fiction". Straightforward descriptions will arouse audience disgust.

But at this time, the film screening ended, enough to accommodate more than two thousand people in the Hall of Rubier still full of seats.Obviously, some bad situation did not happen.

There are more than two thousand audiences on the scene, it is impossible for everyone to like "Pulp Fiction", but it is possible to participate in such a hard-to-find red carpet premiere, whether it is a filmmaker, media reporter, professional critic or ordinary movie fan, Basically, there are professional qualities enough to judge the quality of a movie.

Therefore, the lights were on, and there was a warm applause soon.

After the simple curtain call, the audience began to retreat, Simon and other main creatives turned to the special conference hall next door to attend the regular press conference after the premiere.Near noon, no one wasted time. The crowd just sat down, and the reporters on the stage raised their hands.

The host clicked on a man with glasses and brown hair who was obviously French. The other person took the microphone and got up with a little accent in English: "Mr. Westeros, I am a reporter from the "Cinema Handbook" Vincent Fisher, first of all, let me say that "Pulp Fiction" is definitely another stunning work of your own. This film completely breaks through the style restrictions of your last "Rola Run", whether it is the soundtrack of the lens Or the narrative technique presents a lot of innovative details. However, what makes me wonder is, what exactly is this movie expressing?"

After Simon finished speaking, he smiled and drew close to some microphones and said, "Thank you for your affirmation of this film, Vinson. In addition, everyone can call me Simon, I am only twenty years old, and I heard'Westero "Mr.'s name always feels weird."

In the light laughter from the audience, Simon continued: "As for your question, Vincent, I did not intend to express any too profound ideas with this film. Just as the name of this film "Pulp Fiction", I just I’m telling some stories that everyone can sit on the toilet as a pastime. In addition, this film also contains many experimental ideas about the movie,

Simon's words fell, but the reporter in the "Handbook of Films" did not give up the microphone in his hand, and quickly asked again: "So, Simon, how did you come up with this film idea?"

Simon has been preparing for this problem for a long time without thinking about it: "This film is not caused by a certain inspiration, it should be regarded as the result of long-term accumulation of many ideas, so it will be divided into several different short stories."

After Simon answered this question, the host did not give the reporter another chance and ordered another reporter.

"I am Ed Burkes, a reporter from the "World News", Simon. I found that there are a lot of barefoot shots of female characters in the film. Do you have a foot fetishism?"

Simon froze for a moment before remembering that "World News" was the unlucky gossip tabloid that later caused News Corp to eavesdrop on the scandal, and suddenly understood why the other party asked.

In the face of the crowd of curiosity in the next stage, Simon smiled and said: "I like all beautiful things, just like Maggie's expression in the film when she spoiled Sean, Nicole's bangs, Jenny’s eyes and so on, oh, and my girlfriend’s hand, didn’t you find it? My girlfriend’s hand is also very beautiful, and I specially gave it a close-up.”

The space on the stage is limited. As a small supporting role in the cameo, Janet did not sit on the stage.

at this time.

Hearing Simon Westero's sudden show of affection in public, the reporters at the same time looked at Janet who stood at the backstage of the hall with Mike Medova and others.The woman who had always been careless was suddenly stared at with so many eyes, and she rarely blushed. She turned around quickly and embarrassedly, hiding in the background.

Was ridiculed by a reporter from the "World News", the press conference returned to the whole again, and the reporters in the hall also turned their questions to Redford, Travolta and others.

Half an hour later, the press conference ended, Simon also completed the main task of this trip to Cannes.As for the next "Pulp Fiction" will continue to arrange other screenings, Simon does not need to attend in person, the film crew specially came to participate in the film's leading roles can also leave Cannes.

After the premiere, the mainstream newspapers of various parties soon published media feedback on "Pulp Fiction."

Although Simon was very humble at the press conference, this did not hinder the reputation of "Pulp Fiction" quickly.

"Variety", which is far away from the ocean, praises undisguisedly, "Pulp Fiction" is a splurge of Westeros' talent."

The film is as good as the original "Roller Run" with its light lens level, creative closed-loop narrative structure, a large number of vivid characters who can impress people, and many other details. It has become a topic that a lot of media talk about at once. .

Of course, no film can lack critics.

In almost one-sided praise, there are also some media criticizing the excessive violence of "Pulp Fiction" and the imitation of many films, but these criticisms have basically not turned up any waves.

"Pulp Fiction"'s comprehensive media score was soon released, 4.3 points, although lower than the Polish director Chieslovsky's "killing short film" 4.6 points, but Simon was relieved after seeing this score.

As we all know, the highest rated movie in Cannes media, although the probability of returning empty-handed is very low, but basically did not get Golden Palm.The score of 4.3 is just right for Simon.

Hilltop mansion in Le Cannet.

It was already the next evening, and some cars came from all over Cannes.

Since he bought a house in Cannes, Simon could not be too hospitable. After discussing with Janet, he prepared a very small party tonight, and only invited some people in the circle who are closer to come to gather.

At about 7:30, the sky outside was dark, and Jennifer knocked on the door of the study, approached the large study room full of drawing boards, and browsed through the sketchy, yet seemingly film-like concept maps on the drawing board. Wandered to Simon standing beside the easel by the window, waiting for a moment before whispering: "Boss, everyone is due."

"It's okay," Simon added a few more strokes to a concept image of Batman jumping from a rolling vehicle to another, turning his head and asking Jennifer: "How?"

Jennifer looked sideways for a moment, and his mind showed the thrilling picture of Batman turning from a tumbling car and going directly to another car driving at speed. He said: "This, it must be very dangerous to shoot."

Simon also nodded and said, "When possible, break it down as much as possible. If the CG technology passes, then make up some details through special effects, which is probably enough."

Jennifer said: "You still need to use avatars."

"This is inevitable."

Simon said, put down the paintbrush in his hand, washed his hands in the bathroom next door, and came to the villa hall on the first floor with Jennifer.

Seeing Simon appear, everyone looked over. Simon also chatted casually with Mike Medova, Robert Redford, etc. It was just an ordinary party, there was no formal link. After the host Simon appeared, the party immediately followed. Start.Relaxing music was playing in the living room. Everyone got together drinking, chatting and eating together, which seemed very relaxed.

""Johnny Carson Tonight Show" has been rebroadcasted. In recent days, there have been more than 70 production companies that have reached an agreement with the screenwriter union. Simon, maybe the strike will end at the end of this month. I have talked to NBC Properly, they are willing to arrange a special interview for the main story of "Pulp Fiction", the time is 31, Simon, should you have no problem with the schedule?"

In the hall, Mike Medova whispered to Simon with a glass of champagne.

Although it was clear that the strike of the screenwriter could not be ended so easily, the compromise of the second and third line production companies would only provoke a greater rebound from several major giants, and Simon did not express his views, just nodded: "Of course, I will be on the 25th at the latest. Going back, you might have to stay in New York for a while."

Mike Medova smiled and said, "About those reality shows produced by your company?"

"Yes."

Simon nodded. Now that he has publicly promoted to the TV network, it is impossible to hide this kind of things.

Mike Medova paused and said again: "Simon, I heard some of them. It doesn't seem that you need a screenwriter for these reality shows. This may be nothing in the past, but in the current situation, you do it very well. It may lead to hostility from the screenwriter union."

Simon shrugged helplessly and said, "Mike, if it were other times, do you think several major TV networks would be able to watch Daenerys Pictures?"

When Mike Medova heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No."

Even for Orion Pictures, it was only in the past two years that it started to set up a TV department to get involved in the TV program production business, which is enough to show that the threshold of TV program producers is not so easy to get involved.Although Daenerys has produced several hot movies, it has not yet proven its potential in the television field.Therefore, even if a few major TV networks watch Daenerys Pictures' TV shows, it is impossible to give too good price tags.

Therefore, the current situation where Hollywood screenwriters strike and several major TV networks generally lack TV programs can be said to be the best time for Daenerys to get involved in the field of TV production. If you miss it, you will only accumulate qualifications a little bit. Or spend a lot of money to directly buy a TV show production company to get tickets to enter this field.

"So, if you offend the scriptwriters union, I can't miss this opportunity in vain," Simon said, asking again, "Mike, you don't plan to sign an agreement with the scriptwriters union in advance?"

Mike Medova shook his head shrewdly and said, "Our main business is still TV dramas, and we don't need to do this."

The root cause is well known to everyone, and Simon hasn't broken it.

Those compromised second- and third-tier film companies compromised with the screenwriter union in advance, in fact, to survive. After all, after six months of no business, basically in the current economic environment, it is basically going to shut down.Orion's situation may not be too good, but this company is not yet a TV program since the beginning, and several of the founders are old fritters that have been operating in Hollywood for many years, and they know to compromise with the screenwriter union in advance. It is very likely to be accounted for afterwards.

The two were chatting. Madonna, wearing a black low-cut evening gown, came over with a glass of red wine and gave a lift to Mike Medova, saying, "What are you talking about?"

"Good evening, Ms. Sikony," Mike Medova greeted Madonna with a smile and said'very interestingly': "It's just some trivial things, and I happen to be with Travolta Talk about participating in movie promotion, you talk."

After Mike Medova left, Simon looked around and asked Madonna, "What about Sean?"

Madonna flew at Simon and said, "Is Sean more attractive than me?"

Simon said helplessly: "I'm just curious why he didn't come over tonight."

"Sien is going to participate in an audition and flew back to Los Angeles last night," Madonna continued to stare at Simon unabashedly, "So, now I am the only one left."
