Chapter 39: 039

At about 7:30 p.m., outside a mansion on the hillside of Beverly Hills.

The wine red ford car stopped at the edge of the narrow mountain road. Simon got out of the car and turned to the other side. He opened the door and watched the car naturally pull on her Janet Johnston. He joked in a low voice: "isn't this the peace before the storm?"

Because it's a very free cocktail party, although Simon changed his shirt and trousers, Janet is still the pink dress of the day. However, at this time, the woman seems to have completely changed a person, without the usual madness and randomness, a look of impeccable ladies.

Janet, hearing the joke, glanced at Simon and pinched him on the arm without a trace.

There was a sharp pain in his arm, and Simonton was relieved.

All right.

That's normal.

Entering the mansion, Simon and Janet are led down to the pool in the front yard by the waiter. Brian De Palma and David giller welcome them together.

At the reception, many guests noticed that Brian De Palma and David giller were walking towards a young man and woman at the same time. They all looked at each other curiously with a few whispers.

After the two sides said hello, the two middle-aged people immediately became obviously curious about the elegant Janet around Simon. They are still quite familiar with Simon's personal situation, so they are very puzzled why Simon can suddenly bring such a female companion today.

After all, Janet is more like a lady from a rich family than a nobody who wants to get a ride into Hollywood.

Feeling their curiosity, Simon volunteered: "Brian, David, this is Janet Johnston. She is a painter. Jennie, this is Mr. Brian De Palmer, and this is Mr. David giller. "

Janet listened to Simon's introduction, shook hands with the two middle-aged people gracefully, and complimented them just right.

After everyone's greetings, Brian De Palma has to meet other guests. David giller whispers to Simon. Mike medova, President of Orion pictures, will arrive in a moment. Then he takes him and Janet to shuttle between the guests tonight, and enthusiastically introduces Simon.

Hollywood seems to be big, but in fact, as long as you break in, the circle will become very small.

Just for the first time, Simon met Al Pacino, Michael Kane, Harvey cage, Melanie Griffith, who were once completely out of reach Hollywood stars.

Of course, when we meet for the first time, we just talk a few words. Naturally, it is impossible to establish any friendship immediately. But Simon also knows that just this kind of contact opportunity is a dream for many people who want to enter this circle desperately.

The truth is very simple.

They met each other face to face and looked familiar to each other. If there is a possibility of cooperation in the future, they can connect, "XXX, oh, I met at the Party of Bryan's family," and "XXX, who is that?" The results of the two reactions must be completely different.

After patiently taking Simon to socialize, David giller also walked away for a while.

Simon and Janet stand together at the railings overlooking Los Angeles, each taking a cocktail break.

Janet sipped the cocktail gracefully. Simon looked at the bright city at the foot of the mountain and joked, "little boy, did you suddenly have ambition?"

"No," Simon said, shaking his head. "Just thinking of a movie, there's a guy, well, very unprofessional."

Janet noticed the inexplicable emotion that flashed through Simon's face and wondered, "huh?"

Simon looked up, drank all the wine in his hand and returned to normal. He said with a smile, "nothing. It's a movie that hasn't been made yet, so I can't tell you."

Janet looked at Simon, but suddenly nodded. The bright eyes against the lights were like two eager animals hiding in them. She agreed: "little boy, are you going to start talking crazy? I'll stay with you. "

Simon looked at Janet's serious expression wandering around the edge of madness, and suddenly wanted to touch the woman's white face. He raised his arm slightly, but stopped in a moment, and said, "don't do that. I hope you can stick to this elegant temperament in the end. It's a face saving thing for men."

"Ha ha, good," Jeanette chuckled, some of the breath just gathered dissipated in an instant, and said, "in fact, I feel that many of them know you."

Simon naturally noticed the playfulness in the eyes of many people when David giller introduced himself. He said with a smile, "it should not be a good reputation."

Compared with the new screenwriter who just emerged in the wma packaging incident last time, Simon thinks that these people are more likely to notice themselves because he broke the leg bones of the five guys a few days ago. Even David giller would ask about it in private chats and ask if Simon had learned Kung Fu like Bruce Lee.To be honest, Simon himself doesn't remember that night. He was on the verge of collapse.

However, during this period, Simon gradually realized that his strength was much stronger than that of ordinary people. Moreover, although he doesn't know much Kung Fu, he has some professional fighting skills in his mind. However, Simon has no idea how strong these factors will be when turned into force value. He is not a violent person and does not bother to do this kind of test.

The two chatted for a while, and David giller soon reappeared, with a tall but rich middle-aged man.

"Mike, this is Simon," David giller gestured to Simon and said, "Simon, this is Mike medova, President of Orion pictures."

Simon shook hands with each other politely and introduced Janet briefly. David giller took them to the terrace on the second floor of the villa behind him. There is a set of tables and chairs on the terrace, and the view is much better than the railing.

After telling the waiter to serve drinks and snacks, David giller chatted with him for a while, then got up and walked away, leaving the communication space for Simon and Mike medova.

Simon didn't send Janet away. He just focused on Mike medova's trial.

In the 1980s, due to the overall recovery of the film industry, a large number of outstanding independent production companies emerged in Hollywood.

Compared with the more well-known new line and Miramax, the strength of film companies such as Orion, Canon, karock and Castle stone is actually stronger in this era.

Among them, Orion and Miramax have many similarities. This film company has produced and released many excellent films, such as silent lamb, dancing with wolves, love in Prague, field platoon and so on.

After Orion's bankruptcy in the early 1990s, Miramax's Weinstein brothers began to make their mark in the Oscars.

In addition to Orion, other film companies such as canon, carrock and Castle stone have also fallen before the new century, most of which have become indispensable shell brands in the name of some media groups. In the end, only Time Warner and Disney's new line and Miramax survived ahead of time.

On the terrace, Mike medova is not a talkative person, but it is obvious that he has a detailed understanding of Simon himself and "Lola Run", and even read the script of "Butterfly Effect".

Aware of this, Simon also realized that Orion is really interested in "Lola Run", and the possibility of cooperation between the two sides is very large..

On second thought, though, if not, David giller would not have arranged the meeting solemnly.

After a moment's communication, Mike medova gradually talked about the substantive topic of cooperation: "Simon," Lola Run "is indeed a very novel story, and its low cost can also offset the shortcomings of the film in terms of commercial potential. However, it is difficult for me to agree to your request for absolute creative autonomy. "

Simon listened to Mike medova and said, "Mike, the story of Lola Run seems simple, but the details are very coherent and meticulous. I don't think anyone else can show the story completely except myself. What's more, I have said that I can start the production of the film with my own money. If Orion is not satisfied with my early shooting results, I can choose to quit immediately. But if Orion approves of my work, then I also hope to get an undisturbed creative environment. "

"Of course, I don't have any opinions about the script, about the story," said Mike medova, shaking his head. "Simon, I mean movies like CASS. In fact, Orion is not interested in small-scale independent film projects. We are not a class B film producer like Roger comen. So Orion can provide a $1 million production budget for this movie, but if you choose to invest, Orion will not give up halfway. "

Simon hesitated and said, "what do you mean, Mike?"

Mike medova said: "Simon, don't mention the idea that you want to start production with your own money. But I respect the idea that you want an opportunity. So Orion can invest in this movie, with a budget of $1 million, and the CASS of the movie must be chosen by Orion. At the same time, we will give you a week to shoot. If your work is satisfactory, go on. Orion will not interfere with your creation as much as possible. Otherwise, we will take back the project and change a director to continue shooting. By the way, I can give you 50000 dollars for the script, as well as the future video and TV shows. Finally, Orion also wants to get an extra priority for your future script. I know you've signed a contract with Fox, but it's not a conflict. You won't just create three plays, will you? "
