Chapter 10: 010

Simon didn't feel a girl in the crowd watching her silently. Hearing Janet's words, he just laughed and said, "why, are you going to live in for a while?"

Janet nodded sincerely: "yes, if you can be like this, you can live for a few years."

At this time, Katherine came back to herself. She was surprised and had a strong curiosity about Simon's past. But, hearing Janet's words, Katherine glared at her friend with warning: "Jennie, don't make fun of this kind of thing any more."

Janet felt the seriousness of Catherine's words. She immediately shrunk her neck, took her arm and shook it. She did not speak any more.

Simon calmed down his heart beat, noticed Janet's little action, and gave her guitar to Katherine in front of him with a smile

Katherine reached for it, still puzzled. Simon had crouched down and began to sort out the coins in the piano box in front of him.

Want to help, feel the hands of the guitar, Catherine had to stand, carefully holding the guitar in her arms.

Janet looks at the guitar in front of her, reaches for it, opens it by Katherine, turns her mouth discontentedly, squats down again to help Simon arrange the coins, and twists a nickel to criticize someone for being too stingy.

Soon all the coins in the piano box were sorted out. Even if we didn't count Janet's 100 dollar bill, there were more than 260 dollars, which far exceeded Simon's expectation.

Let Janet hold a small pile of coins, Simon put the notes into his jeans pocket, took the guitar from Katherine's hand, carefully packed it in the piano box, carried it on his shoulder, looked at the woman and said, "then, go to dinner?"

"Well," Catherine said, smiling and nodding, without hesitation, "there's a good Mexican restaurant nearby."

"Should it be all right to walk over?"

"North, of course."

"Oh, how can you get back later?"

"My car is in the parking lot over there."

"It's a coincidence that mine is over there too. It's just a nice person to borrow the landlord's car."

"The guitar is borrowed, too?"

"Yes."

Janet stood where she was, staring at the men and women who were about to walk away side by side, and then looked down at the coin she was still holding in her hand?

I'm just forgotten?

Thinking of this, Janet got angry and cried out in the street with a dumb voice: "Simon westero, if you dare to go one step further, I'll throw away this pile of things!"

Many people's eyes on the pedestrian street are attracted again.

Simon and Catherine also turned and looked at the angry Janet. Simon quickly returned and said, "I'm sorry, Jennie. I'll take it."

Janet slapped all the coins into Simon's hand and gave Katherine an aggrieved look.

Both of them were embarrassed. Catherine took Janet in her arms. Simon put the coin in place. Then they went north again.

Looking at Janet deliberately separated between the two, Simon had no choice but to say, "so, Catherine, you just said that Jennie's studio is here, what studio?"

"Art studio," Catherine replied, "Jennie is a painter. If you have money in the future, you can buy her paintings."

"Oh, sure."

"I'm not going to sell it to you little bastard."

"I'll pay a high price."

"Not for sale!"

"Double."

"Ah, Pooh!"

"Ha ha," Katherine chuckled. Seeing her good friend staring at her, she said to Simon quickly, "Jane is also very good. She graduated from Columbia Business School, and Warren Buffett also studied at Columbia Business School. Simon, do you know that?"

Simon nodded and said, "of course."

Catherine continued: "that year, when Buffett returned to Columbia to give a speech, Jennie argued with him in the auditorium. If it wasn't for the dean of business school, Jennie would have let him down."

"It's really great," Simon continued with a smile. "How come you're a painter again?"

Catherine only glanced at her best friend this time, and no longer explained with a smile.

Janet, seeing that Simon was also looking at herself curiously, simply turned her eyes.

Chatting casually, the three came to a Mexican restaurant nearby. Although Simon had hundreds of dollars in his pocket, the two women only asked for a $25 set meal. However, Simon still obeyed Jennie's "will" and ordered a bottle of pretty good red wine with her $100.

After dinner, Simon also left the contact information of the motel to Katherine, and then separated from the two girls.

After paying the dinner bill, Simon still had more than $100 left in his hand, which was enough to pay for his supermarket job next week, so he gave up the idea of wasting time on his part-time job.After solving his own financial problems, Simon settled down in Los Angeles.

Once life seems to be static, it often goes by fast.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the third week that Simon arrived in Los Angeles, and the time entered July.

After work, Simon basically maintains the frequency of calling Jonathan Friedman twice a week. The agent didn't hide from him the idea of making the butterfly effect a packaged project.

Last Wednesday, Simon went to wma headquarters at the invitation of Jonathan Friedman and chatted with his agent's favorite film director, Bryan De Palma, for more than half an hour.

Bryan De Palma became famous in "the witch Carrie" in the 1970s, but Simon knows that he is still the director of Tom's first "mission impossible" ten years later, which can be said to be one of the most famous evergreen directors in Hollywood.

Therefore, although Brian De Palma's taking over the butterfly effect will cover up the light of the play itself to a certain extent, Simon is also happy to see the success, considering that the well-known director's participation will promote the whole project.

Originally, everything seemed very smooth.

However, two days ago, I talked with my agent on the phone, but the other side told him that something had changed.

Friedman's original idea was to use all the artists in his own hands, but after the script of "Butterfly Effect" spread inside the company, other senior executives of wma also had ideas on the project.

Agent this time did not explain too clearly, Simon can not sort out the joints, but also understand that he must continue to be patient for some time. As a new comer, he has no way to influence the internal game of wma. At this time, he can only be a pawn.

On the other hand, after the first week of being short of money, Simon only kept his job at Griffin supermarket and started his other plans.

It's another normal Thursday afternoon, but tomorrow is July 4, the national day of the United States, and then the whole weekend. Therefore, many people have fallen into the holiday atmosphere ahead of time, and the passenger flow in the supermarket is obviously much more.

"So, how about today?"

Standing behind the cash register, Simon saw Courtney Cox coming with a pile of snacks and saying hello to the girl as she checked out.

Working in Griffin supermarket for less than a week, Simon found out that Courtney Cox happened to live nearby and often shop in the store. Courtney also thought it was very interesting. Every time she went shopping, she would talk with Simon, and they got to know each other unconsciously.

However, Courtney is obviously in a very bad mood today.

Hearing Simon's greeting, Courtney, with a gloomy expression, didn't have a good way: "I just received a notice of failed audition. What do you think will happen?"

Simon said with a smile, "there's no need to be so discouraged. You have such good conditions that you will have more opportunities. Speaking of which, I'm preparing an experimental movie recently. Would you like to be the heroine

"Experimental movies?" Courtney looked at Simon's supermarket assistant's clothes and said, "first of all, do you have money?"

"When Joe sells my play, he'll probably have money," Simon said, packing Courtney's snack and saying, "that's 19 dollars and 75 cents."

Courtney handed over two $10 bills, and still said, "you've been here for weeks and nothing happened. When Joe sells your script, maybe I'll be a big star like Michelle Pfeiffer. You can't even afford a fraction of my pay for a play. "

Simon gave Courtney change and said, "Michelle Pfeiffer shouldn't be expensive? However, a woman who is really tasteful may have a chance to date her in the future. "

Courtney weighed a few coins in her hand, gave Simon a white look, and said, "it's rare that you haven't found the wrong money in your daydream."

So mercilessly hit Simon a few words, Courtney's mood obviously a lot better, before leaving also very face to say goodbye, just picked up the shopping bag and turned away.

Simon threw Courtney's ticket into the garbage can next to him. Seeing that there were no customers behind him, he was just about to sit down and have a rest. Roger Griffin, the supermarket owner who liked to hang out in the store to show his sense of existence, rubbed his fat body and leaned over the cash register, saying, "Hey, boy, it's too bad to use the excuse of making movies to pick up girls. If I had asked her directly for so many days, I would be worried for you. "

Simon didn't take the words from this middle-aged fat man who was absolutely guilty and didn't have the guts to steal. Instead, he said, "I didn't make any excuses. Speaking of it, Roger, can you let me take some shots in your shop then?"

"Yes," Roger Griffin was still straightforward and straightforward. "As long as you pay."

"I'm not going to use it for nothing," Simon said with a smile. "But first of all, it's a robbery scene."

Roger looked at Simon as if he was not joking at all. He squinted at him and said, "that's OK, but when shooting, you have to change a temporary new signboard for the store, and you can't have too specific address information in the camera."The movie in my memory took weeks to persuade a supermarket to cooperate in shooting a robbery scene.

Simon didn't expect his turn to go well, so he immediately nodded, raised his hand to Roger and said, "that's settled."

Although he was not optimistic about Simon's idea of making a movie as much as Courtney, the middle-aged fat man shook his hand and said, "boy, if you want to make a movie one day, remember to leave me a role."

Simon didn't want any ink, so he said, "of course, no problem."

After a few words with Simon, Roger walked away.

Simon continued to work for more than half an hour. When it was shift time, he left work with his light gray rucksack on his back after handing over the next shift.
