Simon smiled and listened to Peter Butler finished, and said, "Peter, these should be enough for you to write a press release about me?"

Peter Butler could naturally hear Simon's subtext, nodded, but said, "Of course, but these have only increased my curiosity about you."

"Um?"

"First of all, your last name," Peter Butler began to get to the point, and said, "Simon, was my judgment in the original article correct, this is an original vocabulary?"

Simon admitted: "That's right."

"I checked a lot of information, and even called some professors at my alma mater, and they didn't give an answer," Peter Butler said. "So, does the word 'Westeros' have any special meaning? ?"

Simon shook his head honestly and said, "Sorry, I can't tell."

Peter Butler did not expect the simplest question, but was rejected by Simon and asked subconsciously, "Why?"

"There's no reason, I just can't say it," Simon said. "Also, I don't want to make up a perfunctory reason at random."

Peter Butler was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then, the second question, Simon, where are you from? This also makes me very puzzled, I called your agent, but he didn't want to. Disclosure. I have not been able to obtain this information from other sources.”

Simon didn't mean to hide any more this time, but first asked: "Peter, I need to confirm again, the article about me, about "Lola Run", must be released after next year's Sundance Film Festival ,Is it right?"

Peter Butler nodded and said, "Of course."

Simon began to tell the truth: "Well, it's simple, I'm from San Francisco and I'm an orphan growing up in a child welfare center in San Jose. I went to Stanford last year to study computer science. Two months later, I was sent to A mental hospital, where I was treated for nine months. After I was discharged, I came to Los Angeles. You know what happened next."

Although I went to Watsonville to get my case back. But Simon is not so secretive about his past.

After all, if you have been in obscurity, even if these things are known, it doesn't matter.

On the other hand, if you become a public figure in the future, instead of being caught off guard by some media digging up his past, you might as well confess to a media reporter you know so that the whole thing can be a little more controllable. sex.

Peter Butler was a little stunned again after hearing what Simon said.

Although Simon's account is very concise, there is no doubt that the amount of information is quite large.

After being stunned for a moment, Peter Butler quickly grasped a small key: "Simon, if I understand correctly, you should be 19 years old this year?"

"18, to be exact."

At the age of 18, he got a screenwriting contract of up to $200,000 from Fox Pictures!

Peter Butler felt that his brain cells were completely insufficient today, and he turned reluctantly before asking, "So, does Fox know your age?"

Simon shook his head: "I don't know."

Americans do not have ID cards. This is not because the national system or the differences in state laws cannot achieve a unified identity. The main reason is to protect privacy. When Roosevelt implemented the social security number system, it was reluctantly passed after he assured Congress that the social security number would not involve private privacy at all.

Simon signed a contract with Fox, and although he provided information such as a social security number and a credit card, it was also to ensure that he was paid for the contract. As for his private information, he is not an actor and does not need to inform the other party.

In fact, even actors often hide their age in Hollywood.

Peter Butler eased his emotions again.

18 years old.

When I was 18, I had just entered university.

The guy in front of him, 18 years old, has already started directing his first movie.

Peter Butler carefully observed the whole afternoon yesterday. The shooting of "Lola Run" had no interest in playing tickets at all, and Simon's deployment and control of the entire crew was completely unlike that of an 18-year-old boy.

correct.

He also worked as a photographer himself.

This should not be a job that an 18-year-old can undertake, but the entire crew has no objection to this, which shows that he has been recognized in this regard.

Oh, God.

What kind of guy have you met?

The waiter brought up the lunch at this time, and Peter Butler simply paused for a moment.

After the waiter left and the two took a few bites of food, Peter Butler spoke again, but did not continue the topic of Simon's past. If necessary, he would prefer to verify this in person.

"Simon, let's talk about the movie. Regarding "The Butterfly Effect", it is indeed a very interesting name. I have also made some guesses about the plot, how much right?"

"One point," Simon smiled. "This is indeed a script that suits DePalma's director. Besides, your other guesses in that article are completely incorrect. Also, I can't reveal more to you. A lot, which is stipulated by the confidentiality clause in the contract.”

Peter Butler understands, and

Said: "So, what about "Lola Run"?"

Simon thought for a while and said, ""Lola Run" is an unconventional anti-genre film, one that has countless possibilities to explore life. In addition, I made this film also for the 'butterfly effect' This term is annotated. From the very beginning, many people have been telling me that the term 'butterfly effect' is too rare, and Fox also thought about changing the name of the movie. However, if the audience has seen "Lola Fast" in the future Run', they will definitely understand very well what the 'butterfly effect' means."

Peter Butler said: "It sounds like a literary film."

"It depends on what your definition of a literary film is," Simon said. "If you think that all other films, other than commercial films, are literary films, then it is. However, "Lola Run" will be a A very interesting movie."

Peter Butler tentatively asked: "Can you reveal some details?"

Simon smiled: "You should have taken a picture of the heroine yesterday, right? I think that's enough. As for the content, if you're interested, I can leave you a movie ticket at Sundance. "

Peter Butler listened to Simon's refusal to disclose the details of the film, so he stopped asking. It is what every filmmaker would do to keep the plot secret before the film was released. already."

The two then chatted a bit more, had lunch, saw Peter Butler off, and Simon returned to Fox Studios to continue editing.

Thanks to extensive and meticulous advance planning, the next two weeks of filming went well.

And so on until November 14th.

Friday.

Outside Roger Griffin's supermarket on 25th Street in Santa Monica, it's four o'clock in the afternoon.

After completing the third shooting of the last scene, while the crew waited with breathless waiting, Simon closed the camera and made an ok gesture to everyone.

A busy month and a half is finally over.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, accompanied by low cheers, and soon, applause began to sound around.

Simon handed over the camera to the assistant director beside him, and hugged everyone one by one to express his gratitude.

Janet took a camera out of nowhere, motioned everyone to gather at the entrance of the supermarket, handed the camera to the fat supermarket owner Roger Griffin, and also came up and squeezed beside Simon.

Roger Griffin looked for an angle with a smile, and pressed the shutter neatly.

The street is still closed at this time, and the crew can't be lively for too long. After taking a group photo, they quickly start to clean up the scene.

More than half an hour later, the street was back to traffic again.

In the evening, a finishing party was also prepared, and it was arranged at Simon's house. Everyone went back to his house to simply tidy up and tidy up.

Simon stayed until the end as usual, and when most of the people left, he walked into the supermarket, which had quickly resumed business, and handed a check to Roger Griffin, who was a guest cashier standing behind the checkout counter.

Roger didn't ink, he put away the check neatly, looked at Simon, the middle-aged fat man was still somewhat sighed, and said, "Unbelievable, a few months ago, when I heard that you were going to make a movie, I thought you were just imagining it. ."

"Sometimes people have to be a little whimsical," Simon smiled and said, "There's a party at my house tonight, Roger, are you coming?"

"I don't have time," Roger shook his head melancholy, looking like he was in a hurry, and said, "I have to look at the store."

The two stood at the cashier and chatted for a while. Simon was about to leave, but unexpectedly saw Courteney Cox walking over from the store. The girl was still habitually holding a bunch of things with her bare hands.

Seeing Simon, Courteney's eyes flashed, but she nodded at him with a smile, went directly to the cashier here, and said hello, "Hi, Simon."

Simon also responded with a smile: "Still don't like using a cart?"

"It feels troublesome," Courteney heard Simon mention this, and her tone became a little more active, and said, "I see you are making a movie here, how is the progress?"

Simon said: "Just closed the mirror."

Courteney took out the bills from the wallet, handed it to Roger, who was staring between the two of them, and said with a smile, "Oh, congratulations."

"What about you," Simon asked, "I heard you were in, um, a Canon film?"

"The Cosmic Giant Seaman," Courteney said, putting everything in a convenient bag and holding it in her arms: "It should be pretty good, but it won't be released until next summer."

Simon greeted Roger when he saw Courteney was leaving, and walked out of the supermarket with the girl.

Saying goodbye to Courteney on the street, Simon walked to the parking lot not far away. Janet and Catherine were already preparing for the evening party at his house. Simon had to rush to the rental company to make sure that all the props were returned to the warehouse. .
