Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 461 Sundance

The wooden house where Simon lives is on a hill southeast of Park City. There are a total of four buildings, one of which is the owner's residence. The three buildings surrounding the guard are inhabited by bodyguards and other entourage.

I don't know when it started, and Simon never left the bodyguard again.

By now, Simon's wealth status is destined to pay close attention to his own security issues.This year's world is absolutely not as peaceful as ordinary people think.

Arrived at Park City at noon, followed by a series of schedules.

In the evening, he accompanied Catherine to a gathering of filmmakers organized by Robert Redford. He returned to his residence on the hill at more than ten o'clock.

The SUV, which is very suitable for driving in Park City, quietly stopped in front of the hill cabin. Simon and Catherine got off together and were immediately surrounded by the heavy chill of the night.

At the foot of the mountain, because of the popularity brought by the Sundance Film Festival, Park City is still a lively scene full of lights.

In recent years, not only filmmakers, every Sundance Film Festival has gradually developed towards a comprehensive gathering in the entertainment industry. Not only filmmakers, but also music circles and fashion circles have come to join in the fun.

Instead of staying too much in the cold outdoors, Simon and Catherine entered the cabin together. This time, the two girls who followed, Zoe Parks and Isabel Dunn, had burned the fireplace in advance and prepared hot coffee. The cabin It's warm here.

The remaining three ABD girls have received training in baby care in advance, and now basically will not leave Dumei Cape Manor.

If you want someone to take care of Simon, you can only pick someone from the maid team brought out by the housekeeper.

Speaking of that, after the last spy incident, Simon told Janet to conduct a background check on the girls around her again. The results were not bad, probably because the time was too short, and there was nothing wrong with these girls.

As for the people around Simon, they have basically been checked.

Just worrying about sending out a batch will definitely bring another batch, Simon did not move these already exposed guys.

Catherine didn't ask Zoe Parks who had come over to help. She took off her thick down jacket and hung it on the side hanger. Finally, she didn't forget to glare at Simon gently. Simon rubbed his body against the man in his clothes.

Simon pretended not to notice the woman's gaze, and when Isabel hung the trench coat, she said, "Go rest, and you don't need to get up too early tomorrow morning. Catherine and I prepared breakfast for ourselves."

The two women noticed the breath coming out of Catherine, and they knew they would definitely have no chance tonight, and they retired when they responded.

Simon brought the coffee prepared by the two servants to the coffee table in front of the fireplace and poured a cup to Catherine who was sitting on the sofa. He smiled and said, "I don't blame me. In fact, Jenny was jealous. A light bulb comes to disturb us."

Catherine took the coffee and held it in her hand, but just gave Simon a blind eye.

In fact, Janet's original words were that Simon's life skills had deteriorated so badly in the past two years that no one could take care of them and they might starve to death before letting the two girls follow.

Of course, there must be some women who are jealous.

When you think about seeing children at home, men go to date with their girlfriends. Even if you really don't care, you should always express your attitude.

Catherine didn't answer, Simon just smiled, poured a cup of coffee, and cheeked up and sat down beside the woman.

If she is really angry, Catherine should be sitting on the single sofa next to it.

Just now the woman took the initiative to sit down on the double sofa facing the fireplace, this small detail is still easy to find.

Simon leaned in and seemed to feel that his mind had been peeped. Catherine flashed some embarrassment on her face and deliberately gave way to the side, seeming to draw a line with Simon.

Of course, she should not be allowed to succeed.

The woman pulled away, and Simon squeezed her firmly against her,

Taking a sip of the hot coffee in his hand, Simon took the initiative to find the topic: "You clearly know that "Waterfall" is a project of Gaomen Pictures. This time, no award was given. It's too much."

"Falling Water Dog" is Quentin's famous work.

Although "Pulp Fiction" was taken in advance, some things have not changed.

In recent years, Gaomen Pictures has maintained a very close cooperative relationship with Sundance, and Quentin happened to have participated in a training class organized by the Sundance Research Institute.

Therefore, the script of "The Falling Dog" appeared in Simon's hands last year.

As soon as they got ahead, Highgate Films won the project naturally, and it also facilitated the cooperation between Harvey Kettle and Quentin, who had just finished filming "Piano Love".

Of course, due to the participation of Daenerys Entertainment, a large studio, the budget cost of the film has also increased from 1.2 million in Simon's memory to 2.5 million US dollars."Falling Dog" has also become the main theme of the main competition unit of High Gate Films this year at the Sundance Film Festival.

Although the closing ceremony will be tomorrow, Sundance’s award results have been released two days before.

The organizer also specially notified the winning crew.

Although it was clear that the little man beside him was not really pointing at himself, Catherine explained seriously: "Everyone doesn't like the kind of violence in this film."

Simon smiled and asked, "What do you think of this movie?"

"The narrative structure is unique, but I don't quite understand what the director wants to express through this story."

Simon changed to a more comfortable posture and leaned on the sofa, looking at Catherine wearing a black turtleneck sweater and jeans beside her, and said, "So, ah, you're still not a real filmmaker."

Catherine was puzzled and involuntarily showed some instinctive dissatisfaction from the woman, glaring at the little man beside him.

After all, he has already received an Oscar nomination for Best Director.

Not a filmmaker.

Well, what is that?

Simon didn't immediately continue the topic. He gestured to the women's leather boots on Catherine's feet and said, "I still wear this in the house. I don't freeze my feet. Take off the warmth."

Catherine glanced at the leather boots on her feet and knocked twice on the floor, her calf came slightly sideways: "You help me take off."

"no problem."

Simon was very simple, put the coffee cup on the coffee table, and reached over and grabbed the woman with a pair of long legs.

Catherine carefully guarded the coffee before she spilled it, and looked at the little man three times, five times and two, taking off her leather boots and throwing them aside, even taking off the socks.

The shoes and socks are new. Catherine is also a clean person. She doesn't have any taste on her feet. She doesn't worry about giving the little man a bad impression.

However, after the shoes and socks were taken off, she immediately pulled back the man's feet on the knee, but instead of stepping on the floor, she sat sideways and buried her feet beside the man.After he got his coffee back, he asked, "Why am I not a filmmaker?"

"My personal point of view is that the real filmmaker should express what he wants to express. The director of "The Falling Water Dog" did an excellent job of doing this. You don't understand what his movie wants to express, but is subject to tradition. The shackles of thinking that a film should show some viewpoint value and social significance is a serious misunderstanding."

Catherine listened carefully and wanted to refute, but found that Simon's words actually made sense.

She studied art.

The paintings of many outstanding artists are indeed purely demonstrating their inner thoughts and thoughts, and they do not necessarily have the intention of instilling a certain point of view to outsiders.

However, in doing so, it did not affect many works as classics.

The movie seems to be the same.

Think about yourself again.

The first cinematic feature film "Blood Corpse Night" tells an alternative vampire love story, which is really not her favorite subject matter.But if a woman wants to become a director, there is not much choice in Hollywood.

Afterwards, "The Thunderbolt and the Blue Sky", "Shocking Point" and even the most recent "Crazy Flower of the End", she is actually instilling her will in the film. However, this kind of display is actually not successful.

For example, this time in "The Last Road", she thinks that she has shot her own style.

However, the concept of feminist awakening at the core of the film is more from the story's screenwriter than her director.

Thinking of this, Catherine could not help looking at the little man beside her.

Regardless of the screenwriter's work, "Roller Run", "Pulp Fiction" and even "Batman: Time to War" personally directed by him, although the styles and subject matter are different, the film itself carries a strong personal will.After watching these films, the audience will easily remember the film. Every time it is mentioned, everyone will say that this is a work of Simon Westero.

Look back at "Blood Corpse Night" and several other films.

If it weren’t for her, a female director, who is relatively rare in Hollywood, it’s probably hard to remember who the director is after watching the movie.

Simon looked at Catherine's enlightened expression and smiled: "Is it very frustrating and feels that life is unreasonable? Come on, let me give you a shoulder."

Kicked on him decisively, thinking for a moment, Catherine said: "So, what should I do?"

"Find something that you really want to shoot. Even if you don't write the script yourself, you can also conceive the outline and make something that really belongs to you."

Catherine fell into thought again.

Then, with some anxiety, she realized that she didn't even know what she wanted to shoot.

Her age.

I don't even want to think about this problem in front of the little man.

However, due to the erosion of the actual social environment, she is destined to have no more naive and simple ideas like the young people who first entered the society.

Why did you switch from art major to study film at the beginning?

Because she was reminded by a mentor, she felt that the film could show a lot of things more three-dimensionally than painting.

Then join in with enthusiasm.

The reality is always unsatisfactory.

Most directors in Hollywood often have to direct their first movie after the age of thirty, not to mention that she is still a woman.

Ten years ago, before "Blood Corpse Night", she only completed the feature film debut of "Relentless" through the support of some film funds. The film did not cause much trouble, and then it was all kinds of lameness.

How many dreams in this world can withstand the passing of years?

How many people, like the little man next to him, can be born out of nowhere, and they are amazing.

When many of his peers have not sorted out his future, he has left the whole world far behind.

Thinking about this, Catherine looked at Simon and couldn't help but shook her head, with some frustration in her tone: "I, I don't know what to do."

Simon looked at Catherine's somewhat sullen appearance, but also leaned over her body, grabbed the woman's feet beside him, and brought a pair of calves on his thighs, saying: "No one felt what he should do from the beginning. Only those who have experienced and seen the deficiencies of this world, and those who are willing to change, will work towards the direction they want to change, so you can take a closer look at this world next."

Catherine did not answer, and seemed to wait for Simon to continue.

Simon continued: "What do you think of my life goal?"

Catherine smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth and said, "Jenny and I said that you want to rule the world."

"Have Jenny told you her dream?"

"Having said, destroy the world."

"Well, you can endure until now you haven't killed me to protect human beings. It seems that you really like me."

Catherine kicked Simon again embarrassedly.

Simon pressed the woman’s calf, rubbing rough jeans, and continued: "Actually, my perception of this world is very pessimistic. I think humanity will eventually go to self-destruction. So, ruling this world is very Boring things, even if you can do it on the surface, you can't control all people's hearts after all."

"Control your heart, you are more dangerous than what Jenny said."

"When you have enough ability and are used to it, you will think that some things are really boring."

"Ok?"

Realizing that Catherine seemed to be more confused by herself, Simon smiled and said: "You, me and Jenny are two potential antisocial elements that are different. You should like this world, at least this country has become Better yet, this is a concept that is common to ordinary people who have lived in a social environment for a long time."

Catherine paused and nodded.

Although it feels weird.

Simon just used a'Human'.

The word can be translated as human or human.

Catherine inexplicably felt that the word Simon used to translate to'human' seemed more appropriate.

Corresponding to'human', isn't it'non-human'?

In fact, he saw that he had done too many things that only "non-human" could accomplish.

Of course Simon couldn’t guess the woman’s mind and continued: “So, you can spend one to two years without having to rush to start a new film, carefully observe the world, find out what you think people need to remember or need to change. It is also something that will resonate with you personally, and then use this as the theme to prepare for your next movie."
