Chapter 14: 014

Simon left the airship bar and stood on the street, looking at the neon lights flashing in the twilight. He didn't feel disappointed about Courtney's choice.

It's hard for a simple girl without a little thought to mix up in Hollywood's vanity fair.

Just at night, the streets of Santa Monica are the busiest time. It's OK to walk back to the hotel.

However, Simon immediately found that his backpack was still in Courtney's car.

During this period, Simon was almost inseparable from the light gray rucksack, which contained the wma contract and several scripts, as well as the sub shot drawings of "Lola Run", which was almost all Simon's belongings at this time.

These things are not worth money to outsiders, but if they are lost, they will be very troublesome.

Simon turned to look at the door of the bar again. It was still a long line, thinking about what to do. Courtney's figure also flashed out from the crowd at the door.

Looking at the gloomy expression on the girl's face, Simon realized that she must have been driven out by her own troubles.

Courtney saw Simon, but just gave him a bad look and walked straight to the parking lot.

Simon could only keep up. He came to the parking lot with Courtney. Then he said to the girl who opened the door with the key, "I'm so sorry, Courtney. I didn't expect this."

"It's no use telling me I'm sorry."

Courtney glanced at Simon, quietly opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, put her arms on the steering wheel, and after a moment of silence, she could not help kicking in the car.

Tonight had been planned. Matthew Broderick's friend was very interested in Christie, and Christie was going to agree and then pull her into Matthew's circle.

Matthew Brodrick was born into an acting family. His family has deep connections in Hollywood.

With the success of "the genius of skipping classes" and the war game a few years ago, Matthew Brodrick, who has accumulated two blockbusters, has become a popular young man in Hollywood. He is on a par with Tom Cruise before "top gun".

Being able to squeeze into Matthew's circle is even more helpful to his development in Hollywood than an excellent agent.

Now, it's all gone.

Maybe even Christie's heart will have a grudge against her.

Simon didn't know Courtney's plan. Even if he did, he didn't regret the punch he just hit. He is not a person who can't be wronged, but he will never give up his dignity without a bottom line.

Looking at the angry girl in the carriage, Simon waited for a moment, then pointed to the other co pilot and said, "curt, can I have my bag?"

I really want to drop the backpack of this guy next to me and drive away.

But calming down, Courtney also realized that Simon was just trying to get rid of the guy who was harassing him. What made him angry was that he just bowed his head a little.

So, after hesitating, Courtney said to Simon, "get in the car. You want to walk back. It's so far away."

More than six kilometers from here to the hotel, Simon naturally didn't want to walk back. Hearing Courtney's unforgiving but soft voice, he turned to the other side of the car with a smile, opened the door, got on the co pilot, watched the girl start the car and said, "don't wait for Christie?"

Courtney drove the car out of the parking lot with the steering wheel. Remembering what she had just done, she shook her head and said, "she should not go back tonight."

Simon said, "well, let's find a restaurant for dinner first. It's my treat."

Simon hasn't eaten since the afternoon shift. Courtney should have done the same.

After hearing Simon say this, Courtney hesitated again. Instead of looking at the boy beside her, she looked at the road ahead and said, "Simon, I have to declare one thing first. I don't plan to make a boyfriend in recent years. I want to get a firm foothold in Hollywood before thinking about this kind of thing."

"I see," Simon nodded, joking. "Just in time, I can choose a cheaper restaurant, or I'll have to stay and wash the dishes."

Courtney felt Simon's relaxed tone, inexplicably lost, but still agreed with a smile as if nothing had happened: "I knew I would talk about it after dinner. I really want to see you being detained to wash dishes."

So, Courtney knew Simon's financial situation very well, so she chose a cheap fast food restaurant.

After a simple dinner, Simon just asked Courtney to take him to work near Griffin supermarket, then sent the girl away and walked back to the hotel.

In the days that followed, Courtney would still appear in Simon's supermarket, but the number of times was significantly less. Even Roger Griffin, the supermarket owner, felt the estrangement between them.

Once in a while, Courtney complained that Christie had to find a new roommate to share the rent after she moved out of the apartment they shared.As a humble little man, Simon's life was not affected by the last bar incident, and he continued to work step by step, while waiting for the news from wma about the script of "Butterfly Effect".

After another week, Simon bought a second-hand bicycle at the flea market near Venice Beach for $30, which not only solved the basic travel problem, but also added an important prop for the planned "Lola Run".

At the same time, wma is not a company.

After nearly a month's deliberation and coordination, Jonathan Friedman finally officially introduced the butterfly effect script and wma's elaborate package project to Hollywood studios.

As "Butterfly Effect" has attracted the attention of senior executives including Norman Broca, President of wma, this project is no longer delivered to the senior executives of the studios step by step through the traditional recommendation channels of layer by layer selection, but directly delivered to the senior executives of the vice presidents and above who have the decision-making power of the major studios through wma's internal contacts.

"Butterfly Effect" with wonderful story design and perfect screenplay, coupled with wma sparing no effort in packaging momentum, soon attracted strong attention from the top of major studios.

If it's another time, such a movie script with wonderful story, low budget and suitable for the hot selling elements in recent years, after a week's spread in Hollywood, the major studios have already started to offer, or even bid for each other.

But this time, because wma wants to make "Butterfly Effect" a package project, Hollywood film companies have different reactions.
