Hollywood Hunter

"So, Simon, you can write a song for me. I can be a guest performer of the Victoria's Secret show for free at the end of the year, how?"

"Unfortunately, Maggie, there is no guest performer in Victoria Show."

"So this is a good idea. Inviting guests, the popularity of Wei Mixiu will definitely be higher. You should thank me for helping you come up with such a good idea."

"Thank you, Maggie, maybe you can go talk to other people about other topics."

In the private bar of the villa, Madonna struggled to speak, and Simon was still indifferent, so he had to give up and turned to the man again: "Okay, let’s go dance, Simon, you are already so rich, there is no need to party time Talk about work."

Madonna's strength is not small, but Simon also knows that it is impossible to continue the conversation with Deutschmann, standing up along her strength.

There were originally more than ten people on the dance floor of the bar shaking with soft music.

Madonna took Simon to the dance floor and raised her hand to signal the DJ not far away: "Hey, here's a blast."

Although it is a private bar, the equipment is very complete.

After a while, dynamic music sounded and the surrounding lights flashed.

After all, this body is young, and Simon is not a person who can't play. Seeing Madonna as a wild cat quickly danced in front of him, he also rocked with the music.Noting that Natasha Henschy was standing on the dance floor slightly hesitantly, Simon made a gesture to her, and the girl immediately leaned over to Simon.

Madonna saw Simon holding Natasha's waist and laid herself aside, obviously uncomfortable, but instead of trying to squeeze Natasha away, she began to try to take the girl away from Simon.

The Queen is a man and a woman.

However, the height difference between the two women was almost 20 centimeters, Natasha did not cooperate, and Madonna wanted to succeed.

Simon found Madonna's intentions, smiled and reached out to grab a hand from his side, caught another girl who tried to stick to him, and gently pushed it to Madonna. The Queen was not polite, and he no longer let go after taking it.

The music that lasted more than ten minutes ended, Simon pulled Natasha off the dance floor, Redford and Deutschman were no longer here, there were more people in the bar than just now, the sofa card beside the pool table The seat was also changed, but the concave card seat was only occupied on both sides, and the intentionally free side was obviously reserved for Simon.

Simon in the deck knew everything.

The innermost position is enough to accommodate four people. The actor Hugh Grant of "Four Weddings and a Funeral", his girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley, and the director of this year's competition film "Playing Monkeys" David. Russell and actor Jeremy Davis are next to Mexican director Robert Rodriguez and his actress Salma Hayek who were discovered by Daenerys Entertainment last year on "The Killer Elegy". Quentin, who was already very familiar with Rodriguez, did not come to Park City because of the fact that "Water Dog" returned empty-handed at Sundance.

Simons greeted the crowd without any strangeness, and sat down with Natasha.

It was basically the first time I met each other. Even though it was introduced at the beginning of the party, everyone was quite surprised that Simon could easily call out their names. After all, they were still little-known people in Hollywood at this time.Of course, Simon does not have super memory, but most of the memories in his mind are related to Hollywood. These people are not unknown people in front of them. It is normal to recognize them.

Everyone was chatting casually, and Madonna came over again, with a girl beside him.

The lights here are brighter, and Simon can see the girl who was just pushed to Queen Mai by himself. He has a pure face, black hair, fair skin, light eyes, and a small mouth that is just right, a little Winona Lai De's feeling, but a little bit more charming Winona Ryder lacked.

At a glance, Simon can be sure that the girl should have Russian ancestry.

that's the truth.

Because Simon quickly found out the other party's name: Mia Kosina in her mind.

Koshina, a typical Russian surname.

Without concealing his gaze, Simon looked at the girl for a few moments, and patted on the slightly free space beside him: "Come, sit here, what's your name?"

There were many guests tonight. Before that, I only greeted some people who needed to meet under the arrangement of Alison, but the girl in front of me couldn't find the ranks that needed Simon to greet him personally. .

Mia Korsna was just pushed to Madonna by Simon. On the dance floor, the Queen ate a lot of tofu. Originally, she had some small complaints. At this time, when Westeros greeted herself, she sat and walked involuntarily. Stepping forward, I sat down carefully beside the other party, remembering the man's question, and quickly said: "Mia, Mr. Westero, my name is Mia Kosna."

The waiter came with a tray.

Simon took two cocktails, one handed to Natasha, who had a little grudge on the left, and the other was about to be handed to Mia Kosna, and looked at the still fat baby face, stopped and asked. : "Are you an adult?"

Mia Koshina raised her small hand to catch the glass, explaining: "19 years old, Mr. Westeros, I am 19 years old."

Simon took the glass back with a smile: "That's still not possible to drink," and said to the waiter: "Send this lady a glass of juice."

Natasha on the other side was even more depressed.

I am obviously 19 years old, half a year away from 20 years old.

I can’t help but look at it. The opposite Mia Kosina is about a meter and six in size, which is similar to Madonna, plus a pure and childish face, it is easy to be mistaken for a little girl. She is incomparable.

Many people in the bar are paying attention to the movement of Simon.

For Westeros, who already has a large vase with a ninety-degree level around but can still easily enchant a little beauty, Natasha Henschy is no one dare to make an idea, M Ya Kosina was originally a target for many people to talk to. This kind of pure and charming mixed temperament of this little beauty who can easily hit more than 80s is very eye-catching.

The little-known 19-year-old actor certainly cannot enter into Westeros' party.

Mia Koshina is the heroine of the last Sundance film "Sexy Club", this is a Canadian movie about a middle-aged detective and a The story between the dancers whose dead daughter resembles him, Mia Kosina as the heroine plays the dancer Christina.

Gaomen Pictures is very interested in the film and is negotiating copyright issues with the producer. The director and producer of the film received an invitation letter for the party tonight. Mia Kosina was the film producer Robert. Lansto brought to the party with a different kind of thought, imagining to be able to get started after the party tonight, but did not expect this little girl to be caught by Westeros.

The original thought was naturally unplayed.

Not far from the deck, Robert Lansto, who was sitting next to the bar, looked up dejectedly and swallowed the whiskey from the glass. Suddenly he realized that the dissatisfaction in this action seemed to be obvious, and he quickly converged and carefully took the glass. Put it down, and dare not take another look at Westeros.

If you know it, you should start early.

And the girl shouldn’t let the other person leave when she was going to dance. How obvious the purpose was.

Girls who can be confused in this kind of circle are jokes if they say they have no intentions.

On the deck sofa, Simon just asked Mia Kosina for a glass of juice, and then turned to David Russell, director of "Fighting Monkeys", to talk about his new play "Flirting with Disaster."

The memory of David Russell is a controversial director in Hollywood.

The filmmaker’s two Oscar hits "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds" and "American Scam" are regarded by many audiences as unworthy of their reputation. The fans believe that most of the highlights of the film are attributed to Cristian Bell and Amy. Awesome performances by Adams, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper.

In Simon's view, David Russell's work is easy to give the actor enough room to play, but it does always lack a strength in itself, which is enough to make the film a classic trait.

This is probably related to the personal experience of Russell.

Hollywood is a whetstone for many talented filmmakers, but most filmmakers are not getting sharper and sharper, but they are gradually being worn away in various frame specifications.

This is true of David Russell.

This new director of Sundance is actually 35 years old this year and is approaching middle age.

It was also a very small beginning to ignite film interest through the super eight camera. After graduating from the college in the early 1980s, David Russell kept trying to enter the film industry and spent more than ten years before finally starting his first minister last year. sheet.

Moreover, the initial budget of "Beating the Monkey" was only a poor 200,000 US dollars. After being watched by the high-end film industry, the budget was only increased to 1 million US dollars. It is still impossible to hire any big names to join. The slightly loose budget can only be used to Film lenses and soundtracks are more refined.

The final debut is actually a fairly compromised work.

Simon has already seen this movie in advance.

David Russell picked a sensitive topic that easily attracted the attention of the audience, which actually has obvious ingenuity in it.

However, as a movie involving the taboo of mother and child, Russell's description of this aspect is quite end to end, and the ending of the story is also very peaceful. The actor wants to commit suicide because of guilt, fails to succeed, and wants to strangle Luring his mother, she failed to give up her heart, but eventually she ran away, causing the film to lack a shocking impact.

In this regard, also in this Sundance, David Russell is in stark contrast with another new director, Kevin Smith.

Kevin Smith is only 23 years old and spent more than 20,000 US dollars to write and direct the "Crazy Clerk" that was well-received at this year's film festival. Unlike the peaceful compromise of "Monkey Fight", "Crazy Clerk" has a very sharp Personal style, Smith used a day's experience of a hapless convenience store salesperson to ridicule all aspects of this society, and he was not taboo and swearing.

In the original time and space, after becoming famous with "Crazy Clerk", Kevin Smith still maintained his own personal style for a long time. The 1999 "Angry Offense" offended the mainstream American religion and angered many people.

Because of this sharpness, Smith could not integrate into the mainstream Hollywood circle from beginning to end.

As a super comic fan who opened his own comic shop after becoming famous, Smith expressed interest in many super hero projects, but because the studio's scruples about Smith's personal style, he never made him a super hero. With the chance of a big movie, the director can only get hooked by directing a few episodes of Warner’s Premier League TV series.

Gaomen Pictures has also bought the copyright of "Crazy Shop Assistant".

However, as the owner of the largest studio in Hollywood at this stage, Simon also does not value the next cooperation with Smith. For films such as "Angry Against the Sky", Daenerys Entertainment will not even shoot.Taboo themes such as "Monkey Fight" or B-level film madmen like Quentin and Rodriguez may only cause discomfort for some of the guardians. "Angry against the sky" violates the values ​​of most Americans at this stage. .

Unlike many years later, in the United States in the early 1990s, lack of faith was a very unusual thing.

All in all, this year's Sundance, Simon is most valued by David Russell.

In terms of the film quality of "Beating the Monkey" itself, David Russell's first work has a super high degree of completion that is difficult for other directors to try for the first time. The story is complete and smooth, the editing soundtrack is beyond the standard, and the movie lens is full. Personal style and the performance of several actors are also remarkable, these are enough to prove Russell's very solid film skills.

Having this kind of film skills and personal style, and being able to make appropriate compromises when the studio needs it, is the most important kind of director in mainstream Hollywood.

Such a filmmaker, as long as he is given a good enough script, a good enough creative team, may not be able to create classics, and it is not difficult to succeed in business.

Moreover, Hollywood classics have always been wonderful.

Whether it is commercial classics such as "Star Wars" and "Terminator" or Oscar blockbusters such as "The Godfather" and "Forrest Gump", the original creator did not expect it to become a phenomenal classic before shooting.

Once David Russell, with the support of Weinstein, relied on the "Happiness Line Behind the Clouds" 20 years later to reach the peak of his personal career. Now that he knows the direction of the subject suitable for this director, Simon can now give With such support from the other party, it is no longer necessary for the other party to fumble for two decades.

With enough room for exhibition, Russell is not impossible to create a film history classic.

"... The most critical issue is that you want to express too much in this script. The hippie movement, same-sex marriage, federal adoption system, etc., the focus on these elements will make the audience unable to concentrate. Therefore, you first need to cut the branch line and focus on the discussion of modern family relations. Do this. You will be expected to be nominated for an Oscar screenwriter in the future. If you maintain your current status, the audience will only see a single out Funny hilarious comedy..."

Everyone around listened to Simon patiently analyzing David Russell's new script "Flirting with Disaster", with obvious envy in his eyes.

Although Simon has not directed the film himself in recent years, no one will doubt his genius in the film. David Russell even wished to write down all of Simon’s suggestions with a pen. Even with the inevitable hesitation of the creator’s instinct, he had to admit the correctness of Simon’s suggestions.
