Chapter 22: 022

After asking for leave, Simon changed his clothes and came out of the dressing room with his bag on his back.

Courtney was chatting with Jonathan with a shopping bag in her hand when she saw Simon coming up, smiling and stepping forward. Then she stopped, said hello to Simon shyly, followed the two men out of Griffin supermarket.

Jonathan Friedman's black Mercedes was parked on the street. They got into the car and nodded to the girl on the curb. Jonathan started the car and took Simon eastward.

Watching Jonathan's Mercedes Benz disappear around a corner with a smile, Courtney put her face away with some disappointment and felt some regret for refusing Simon's words that night.

If he didn't, maybe he would have invited himself to leave with Jonathan.

In the far away car, Jonathan glanced at the girl still standing on the side of the road in the rearview mirror as he turned. He asked Simon with a smile, "do you like curt?"

"No," Simon explained, shaking his head. "Just friends."

Jonathan kept smiling and said, "in fact, if you like Kurt, I can make her the heroine of your movie, so you can have a chance to chase her."

Simon thought about it and said, "Curt is really suitable to be a heroine, but we are really just ordinary friends."

Jonathan nodded and then said, "Curt is not really for you."

"So," Simon asked, looking at his agent, without going on with the subject, "what's the result?"

"Well," Jonathan said, raising his chin, "there's a nice coffee shop ahead."

As the Mercedes Benz drove on for a long distance, Jonathan Friedman stopped and took Simon into a roadside cafe.

They sat down by the window on the street and waited for the waiter to serve coffee. Then Jonathan briefly explained Fox's new offer for Simon's play and finally asked, "so, Simon, do you think it's ok?"

The basic film payment is doubled, and the sharing terms are reserved. Although the option contract for a script is added, Simon also knows that this contract is quite generous for him as a newcomer.

However, after nodding his head, Simon still asked, "Joe, what's the specific packing plan? I think wma is less likely to give up this project now?"

Jonathan didn't feel surprised at Simon's ability to say the last sentence, nor did he hide it, saying: "Brian is a part-time producer as well as a director. In addition, Matthew also quit the project, the company let me be responsible for re selecting the main role

Looking at the smile in Jonathan's eyes after he said these words, Simon also understood why the agent just said that Courtney could be the heroine.

Simon didn't follow Jonathan's suggestion and asked again, "when can I sign the contract?"

"The formal package will be announced in the next few days, and the specific contract may be until next week," Jonathan replied. "But Simon, you can go back and resign now. If you are short of money, I can lend you some first. "

Simon shook his head and said with a smile, "that's not necessary."

When he accepted the offer, Simon agreed with Roger Griffin that if he wanted to resign, he would need to be informed a few days in advance so that the other party could recruit again.

Although the middle-aged fat man is very stingy, but this time we get along well. What's more, Simon needs to use Roger's shop to shoot "Lola Run" next. He's not suitable to leave all of a sudden now.

Jonathan didn't know what Simon was thinking, but he didn't persuade him any more. Instead, he said, "one more thing, Simon, about WGA, do you want to join the Union?"

Simon looked puzzled and didn't understand why Jonathan suddenly mentioned it.

Seeing Simon's puzzled expression, Jonathan took the initiative to explain: "by joining WGA, your next contract can be based on the" basic agreement "of the trade union, which will better protect your personal rights and interests. So, if you like, I'll help you with it as soon as possible, probably before signing with Fox next week. "

To join the WGA, applicants need to accumulate enough points through various film and television works within three years before they are eligible to join.

Of course, Simon has no doubt that Jonathan has the ability to make WGA an exception.

If Simon just wants to be a screenwriter very simply, it's a good choice to join WGA.

However, Simon's ambition is to become the top class of Hollywood pyramid.

Now joining WGA, he is likely to stand on the opposite side of himself in the future.

You know, WGA is one of the most striking unions in Hollywood. Once WGA makes a decision to strike, all members must strictly abide by the strike regulations and no longer work for the film and television production company. At that time, if Simon is not only the boss of the film company, but also a member of WGA, it will be very busy. Can't he quit his job by himself?

Shaking his head, Simon said to Jonathan, "no, Joe. If I want to join any trade union, I will only choose PGA. "Jonathan sniffed, laughed and said, "well, that's it."

The two talked about a few more things, settled Simon's side, and Jonathan Friedman rushed back to wma headquarters.

The incident made Jonathan Friedman recognize a lot of things. Since Lu Weiss gave him the task of re selecting the main role in the butterfly effect, Jonathan did not want to share the project with others.

All the roles that are suitable for his clients, Jonathan directly gives them to his own people. Even if he can't find a suitable person under his own name, he also chooses the clients under the name of a broker who has a good relationship with him.

After such a busy afternoon, Jonathan Friedman submitted the redefinited character list to Lu Weiss in the evening.

Later, we discussed a series of details with Fox again. On Wednesday, wma and fox jointly held a press conference to announce the specific package project plan to the media.

Simon didn't attend the conference.

In fact, only a few senior executives from wma and fox participated in the project launch of "Butterfly Effect", and none of the film's related creators attended.

However, Simon soon learned about the new creation of the butterfly effect.

In addition to him and Brian De Palma, Jonathan Friedman's choice of actors and actresses are clients in his own name, namely Matt Dillon and Elizabeth sue, and so are most of the other supporting roles.

Simon is not familiar with Matt Dillon and Elizabeth Sue.

Or, for most people, they are both the kind of people who often appear in Hollywood movies but are hard to remember. However, in 1986, both of them are still in their early twenties, but they are both potential Hollywood newcomers who have starred in many films.
