When Simon heard the question from the "Variety" female reporter, he just nodded lightly and said, "Yes, the reason is actually very simple, if I didn't do these jobs myself, but I wrote my name, there will definitely be a big one in the future. A lot of people are looking for trouble for me."

Hearing Simon's words, many viewers who originally had similar doubts were a little surprised.

There are gunmen in any circle, and Hollywood is no exception.

However, judging from the quality of "Lola Run", more than a dozen Hollywood filmmakers who must be very good are shooting gunmen for a young man at the same time, the probability of such a thing happening is very slim.

What's more, although most people don't know the details of Simon, no matter what his identity is, there is absolutely no need to do so. It involves professional filmmaking skills, and it is too easy to be exposed.

only.

If a lot of the behind-the-scenes work on "Lola Run" was done by the young people on stage, it would be incredible anyway.

The female reporter of "Variety" was obviously in this mood. After hearing Simon's answer, she immediately asked, "So, how did you do it?"

With a smile on his face, Simon said, "Miss Trevor, your question is difficult to answer. However, if I start writing the script, I have been busy with this film for six months. During this period, I experienced I went through a lot of ups and downs and met a lot of people who were willing to help me, such as Bob, Jenny, Catherine, Director Brian De Palma, Mr. David Giller, my agent Jonathan, and so on. In retrospect, I'm actually very lucky, because a lot of filmmakers with their dreams have a hard time getting such an opportunity. Here, I want to thank all of them again, and at the same time, I also hope that I will have the opportunity to help in the future some people."

Although she could not get a satisfactory answer, Jane Trevor nodded earnestly and sat down again.

Immediately, at the signal of Robert Redford, many people raised their hands again.

There were not many media reporters who could come to Park City. Robert basically knew what he knew and was not in a hurry, but this time he ordered a young boy sitting in the back row.

The boy didn't wait for the microphone to be handed over, and couldn't wait to say: "Simon, your movie is really cool, I really hope I can make a movie like this one day. So, I want to know, how did you learn this, Or, which film school did you go to?"

Simon shook his head and said with a smile: "I haven't been to a film school. As for film skills, I should be self-taught. However, my personal situation is a bit different from everyone's. So, if you want to be a director, I It is still recommended that you enter a professional film school."

There are many well-known directors who are self-taught in Hollywood, and even Robert Redford, who is sitting on the stage at this time, can be counted as one.

However, after hearing Simon's answer, many people in the screening room were still surprised.

Although Simon's specific age is not clear, he looks very young at first glance. If he has studied systematically in film and television at a top film school and mastered a series of skills, it would be logical to produce "Lola Run".

But just relying on self-study, anyone who has made such an attempt understands how many difficulties and detours will be encountered. So it's incredible to be able to do that now.

Everyone was surprised, but Janet, who had been sitting quietly beside Simon, blinked, suddenly remembering the pile of movie books that Simon had bought indiscriminately a few months ago.

You bastard, you must be talking nonsense.

but.

It's really weird.

The boy sat down, and Robert Redford reassigned the question to a media reporter.

The ensuing question-and-answer session continued until 12 noon, when the Sundance premiere of "Lola Run" was announced.

The film will be scheduled for several other screenings in the remaining days of the festival, and Simon will not be required to attend then. In fact, many filmmakers basically leave Park City after their weekend premieres. Until the closing ceremony of the film festival, if the news of the award is received, a representative will be sent over again.

On Sunday afternoon, Simon re-communicated with Peter Butler about his interview. In the evening, Jennifer Leibold and Lisa Collins were put on a plane to New Haven, Connecticut, where Yale University is located.

However, Simon was not able to relax at all.

As soon as the premiere of "Lola Run" ended, he was surrounded by several independent film distributors who came to Sundance to try to pick up the leaks.

A fat man even boldly quoted a buyout price of $2 million, which was more generous than Fox, but the other party only wanted to pay a deposit of $200,000, and the rest needed to be settled after the movie was released.

Simon laughed in his heart and scolded Harvey, you are a big liar, and then ignored the other party.

Early in the morning on Monday, Simon got a call from Catherine from Los Angeles. Immediately afterwards, Robert Redford also called and asked him to go to the Sundance Institute.

Simon drove to the city, brought back a thick stack of newspapers with the "Lola Run" film review from the Sundance Institute, and bought breakfast by the way.

Back at the resort apartment, it was already past nine in the morning.

The weather in Park City is still cold, and there are no outsiders around. Janet begins to reveal her true self. She stays on the bed like a lazy cat and refuses to get up.

. Seeing the newspaper brought back by Simon, I gave birth to some spirit.

"Variety, um, from the obscure Sundance, suddenly has a stunning anti-genre masterpiece, Lola Run. Written and directed by rookie director Simon West, it's going through a The very interesting three-stage movie mode shows the audience the meaning of the 'butterfly effect'. At the same time, the film's exploration of the countless possibilities in life is also memorable. Barbara Barbara, I'll change it again."

Janet read a few sentences, swept the line at a glance, and couldn't wait to pick up another newspaper: "This, The Hollywood Reporter, seems to be very powerful. The one who surprised me the most was Simon Weiss. Tello's skillful use of a series of film skills, the entire film has reached a top level in terms of lens, color, soundtrack, editing, etc., not like a low production budget of less than 1 million US dollars. Cost movie. It is said that a lot of the work was done by Simon Westero himself, and I seem to see another rising Hollywood talent filmmaker. It makes sense, I will look at it again, hey, Peter wrote it too Film review, didn't you agree with him to release it after the festival? Oh, it's just a film review."

After reading Peter Butler's film review published in the Los Angeles Times again, and flipping through the remaining newspapers, Janet threw them away, excitedly poking out a piece of white tenderness from under the covers. Body: "Little boy, you are about to become famous, hurry up, let your sister kiss first."

Simon pressed Janet back to the bed and said, "I don't kiss a lazy woman who doesn't even brush her teeth."

"Wow, this is starting to dislike it, be careful I call my four brothers to beat you together."

Simon smiled and helped the woman pull down the quilt that was lifted, and said, "Call a cousin or something. Let's make five and bring a baseball bat."

"Hmm, it seems, without a cousin, you bully me."

After playing like this for a while, the phone in the living room rang again, Simon saw that the woman buried her face in the pillow, leaned over and kissed her round shoulder, and said, "Get up, I'll pick it up first. Telephone."

The call was from Jonathan Friedman, who had just gone to work in Los Angeles. The agent had also seen the highly praised film reviews of "Lola Run" in several mainstream Hollywood print media, congratulated Simon, and at the same time told him, Mike Medova, president of Orion Pictures, called him early in the morning to find out some news about Simon's film, and he should be very interested in the release of "Lola Run".

After talking for more than ten minutes, Sandra Bullock just happened to arrive at Jonathan's office, and just about to hang up the phone, so they chatted a few more times.

Los Angeles, wma headquarters on Camino Street.

Sandra and Simon said goodbye, put down the microphone gently, and sat down across from Jonathan's desk.

"It's like this," Jonathan Friedman handed her a document and said, "Back to the Future 2 has started preparations, and casting has started recently. Your qualifications are originally a little shallow, but I I saw compliments on your performance in 'Lola Run' in several newspapers in the morning. So you prepare first, and I'll find a way to get you through the first round of auditions. Later, it depends on the specific situation."

"Back to the Future", the first year in the North American box office list, was produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Robert Zemeckis. Sandra is naturally clear.

However, after starring in "Lola Run", Sandra just recently got a supporting role in a spring TV series.

Opened the audition materials and browsed quickly, Sandra was still a little unsure: "Joe, this is the audition for the heroine?"

"Of course," Jonathan Friedman nodded with a smile, "However, don't expect too much. In the first round of casting, there will be at least hundreds of girls vying for this role, and the competition in the future will be It's even more exciting. Also, talk to Simon and ask him to cut a clip of your performance in "Lola Run", and I'll send it to the "Back to the Future 2" crew for you, before Friday give me."

Sandra nodded, but with an embarrassed expression on her face, she said, "Joe, Simon won't be back from Park City until next week. Besides, I, I don't know the phone number of his residence."

Jonathan smiled and wrote a series of numbers on the sticky note, handed it to Sandra, and said, "Since it is a film festival, there must be no shortage of various equipment in Park City, and copies are also there, so you let me After he has cut it, he can send it back or let someone help bring it back."

After chatting a few more words, Sandra got up to leave, and just left Jonathan's office, only to find that another client of the agent, Courteney Cox, was already sitting outside.

Sandra knew that Simon first invited Courteney to participate in "Lola Run", and Courteney naturally knew that Lola's role eventually fell on Sandra. Now, suddenly encountering each other, both of them are inexplicably a little embarrassed, and they nodded to each other as if nothing had happened, and then passed by.

Courteney knew exactly what Jonathan had called her for today. "Back to the Future 2" has begun casting, which is a major event in Hollywood.

Noticing the audition materials that Sandra had just handed, Courteney remembered the "Lola Run" film review she saw on The Hollywood Reporter at breakfast, and she felt a strong sense of crisis in her heart.

"Back to the Future 2" will still be starring Michael Fox. Then, under Jonathan's name, there are at least three people who are suitable for the heroine of "Back to the Future 2", Elizabeth Shue, herself, and Sandra Bullock who just left.

Thinking so, Courteney suddenly discovered that Elizabeth Sue starred in "The Butterfly Effect", Sandra

Bullock starred in "Lola Run", and these two movies are actually related to him.

And yourself.

There was also a chance.

Now.

I hope "Lola Run" doesn't cause too much repercussions.

Thinking about it carefully, it was just a low-cost independent film, and the subject matter was so deviated from the mainstream that even if it received some praise, it should still not make many waves in Hollywood.

With that in mind, and taking a deep breath, Courteney Cox pushed the door and walked into the agent's office at Owen Wright's direction.

about the same time.

Fox Studios not far from the WMA headquarters.

Fox Pictures president Ronald Goldberg called Peter Sanders to his office early in the morning.

The two sat down in the reception area, and Ronald Goldberg handed Peter Sanders a few excerpts of the "Lola Run" film review that the secretary had just compiled, saying: "This should be the "Butterfly Effect" The screenwriter's work, you talked to me on the phone last week?"

Peter Sanders has actually seen the film review of "Lola Run", took a few excerpts and flipped through them, nodded and said, "Yeah, it's this one."

Ronald Goldberg heard Peter Sanders confirm, "Didn't you already talk to him, why didn't I see the result?"

Peter Sanders put the film review in his hand on the coffee table in front of him, and said, "That young man wants to split the contract."

Ronald Goldberg slowly took out a cigar and was trimming it. He was stunned for a moment before shaking his head and smiling: "Sure enough, he is a little guy who doesn't know the sky and the sky. If that's the case, then forget it, let him go. Find someone else."

Peter Sandston paused, then said, "Ronald, there are actually some things about him."

Having said that, Peter Sanders briefly explained Simon's age and some of the announcement plans that the two of them talked about that day.

After Ronald Goldberg heard it, he found that the cigar in his hand had fallen to the ground at some point, he picked it up and threw it aside, but his eyes were still fixed on Peter Sanders: "18 years old, you confirm this. it is true?"
