Hollywood Hunter

Simon left the airship bar and stood on the side of the street looking at the neon gleaming in the twilight. He didn't feel disappointed by Courteney's choice just now.

A simple girl who doesn't think carefully is difficult to mix in the vanity fair of Hollywood.

At night, the streets of Santa Monica were the busiest moment, and there was nothing wrong with walking back to the hotel where I was staying.

However, Simon immediately discovered that his backpack was still in Courteney's car.

During this period of time, Simon was basically inseparable from the light gray rucksack. The bag contained the contract with WMA and several scripts, as well as the shots of "Lola Run", almost all of Simon's possessions at this time.

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

Simon turned his head and looked at the door of the bar again. There was still a long line, thinking about what to do, Courteney's figure also flashed out of the crowd at the door.

Looking at the depressed expression on the girl's face, Simon realized that she must have been driven out by herself.

Courteney also saw Simon, but just glared at him badly and walked straight to the parking lot.

Simon could only follow, and followed Courteney to the parking lot, and then said to the girl who took the key to drive the door: "I'm so sorry, Curt, I didn't expect this to happen."

"What's the use of telling me I'm sorry."

Courteney glanced at Simon, opened the car door silently, sat in the driver's seat, put her arms on the steering wheel, and was quiet for a while, still couldn't help kicking in the car indiscriminately.

Tonight had already been planned, the friend of Matthew Broderick was very interesting to Christie, Christie also planned to agree, and then take advantage of the trend to pull her into the circle of Matthew.

Matthew Broderick was originally from an acting family, and his family has deep connections in Hollywood.

With the success of "School Skip Genius" and the "War Game" a few years ago, Matthew Broderick, who has accumulated two blockbuster films, has become a popular niche in Hollywood at this time. Tom Cruise before "Top Aspiration" is comparable.

Being able to squeeze into Matthew's circle will help his development in Hollywood even more than a good agent.

Now it's all gone.

Maybe even Christie will have a grudge against her.

Simon didn't know Courteney's calculations. Even if he knew, he had no regrets about the punch he had just hit. He is not a person who cannot be wronged, but he will never give up his dignity without a bottom line to compromise.

Looking at the girl who lost his temper in the car, Simon waited for a moment before pointing to the co-pilot on the other side and saying, "Curt, can you pass my bag over?"

I really want to throw down the backpack of the guy next to me and drive away.

But when he calmed down, Courteney also realized that Simon had caused the trouble to stop the guy who was harassing him. What made him angry was that he just refused to even lower his head.

So, after hesitating, Courteney still said to Simon angrily: "Get in the car, you want to go back, so far."

More than six kilometers from here to the hotel, Simon naturally did not want to go back. Hearing Courteney’s unforgiving but soft tone, he smiled and turned to the other side of the car, opened the door and got on the co-pilot, looking at the girl Started the car and said, "Don't wait for Christie?"

Courteney drove the car out of the parking lot with the steering wheel, remembering the situation just now, and shook her head: "She probably won't go back tonight."

Simon gave a grunt, then said: "Then, let's find a restaurant for dinner first, and I will treat you."

Since the shift in the afternoon until now, Simon has not eaten anything, and Courteney should be the same.

Hearing what Simon said, Courteney hesitated again, did not look at the boy next to him, and looked at the road ahead: "Simon, I must declare one thing first. I am not planning to make a boyfriend in recent years. I want to get a foothold in Hollywood before considering this kind of thing."

"I understand," Simon nodded, joked, and said: "It just so happens that I can choose a cheaper restaurant later, or I will have to stay and wash the dishes."

Courteney felt Simon’s relaxed tone, feeling a little lost in her heart, but she smiled nonchalantly and agreed: "I knew I had eaten dinner before I talk about it. I really want to see you being pulled down to wash the dishes. ."

With that said, Courteney was also very aware of Simon's financial situation, so she chose a cheap fast food restaurant.

After simply having dinner, Simon just asked Courteney to send him to the convenience store where he was working, and sent the girl away, and walked back to the hotel by himself.

In the days that followed, Courteney would still appear in the convenience store where Simon worked, but the frequency was significantly less. Even the convenience store owner Roger Griffin felt the distance between the two.

Occasionally chatting, Courteney complained a little that Christie had moved from the apartment they shared and she had to find a new roommate to share the rent.

As an inconspicuous little person, Simon's life was not affected by the last bar incident. He is still continuing his work step by step, while waiting for news from WMA on the "Butterfly Effect" script.

After another week, Simon bought a second-hand bicycle at a flea market near Venice Beach for 30 dollars. This not only solved the basic travel problem, but also helped the plan. An important prop has been added to "Lola Run".

At the same time, inside WMA company.

After nearly a month of brewing and coordination, Jonathan Friedman finally officially introduced the "Butterfly Effect" script to the major Hollywood studios along with the complete package project carefully planned by WMA.

Since "Butterfly Effect" has attracted the attention of senior executives including WMA President Norman Broca, this project is no longer delivered step by step to the studio's senior management through the traditional screening channels, but through WMA's The internal contacts were delivered directly to the desks of executives above vice president and above who had the right to make project decisions in major studios.

"Butterfly Effect", with its wonderful story conception and complete movie script, coupled with WMA's spare no effort in packaging, quickly attracted strong attention from the top studios.

If it were other times, such a movie script with a wonderful story, a low budget, and a hot-selling element in recent years, a week after its spread in Hollywood, the major studios would have begun to make offers and even bid against each other.

But this time, because WMA wanted to make "Butterfly Effect" a packaged project, Hollywood studios responded differently.
