Hollywood Hunter

Following Simon's words, the ward fell into a brief silence again.

Simon's suggestion is already very obvious. He asked for half a million US dollars in compensation before, just to test whether there is some instigator behind the scenes that he may have roughly confirmed.

Then, maybe it was driven by some factors, maybe the guy who was frightened by the incident last night wanted to end the matter as soon as possible, and Simon successfully got the $500,000 check.

But he obviously didn't care about the money.

Even disgust.

He just wanted a result of battling a tooth.

Catherine didn't know the allusion of "the white head is as new as the old one". But from the first encounter, Simon gave her a feeling of deja vu, and he was always able to leave her the deepest impression in every contact.

During this time, although she only met occasionally and talked on the phone occasionally, Catherine had unknowingly regarded Simon as one of her best friends.

At this time, listening to Simon's words, Catherine couldn't help but feel a strong worry.

The big scars on Simon's body last night made her care not at all about the person Simon wanted to break his leg, and she even felt that she couldn't be too harsh to teach him.

However, Catherine did not want Simon to fall into subsequent troubles.

A person who can easily come up with a $500,000 check is absolutely impossible to be an unknown person. After interrupting such a person's leg, it will be very difficult for Simon to get out next.

Moreover, Catherine was faintly worried about Simon's mental state.

In the final analysis, Janet's madness is just a slightly unscrupulous little girl temperament that has been spoiled under favorable living conditions.

However, Catherine clearly remembered that Simon was indeed on the bus from Watsonville at the first encounter.

Then he said that he was from Watsonville Mental Hospital.

Then, a newcomer with no qualifications, he accidentally convinced Jonathan Friedman to sign himself and become the only screenwriter under the other's name. When she introduced him to the past, she actually only hoped that Jonathan Friedman, the vice president of WMA, could arrange an ordinary agent for him. As long as they can sign under the WMA flag, it is already a very rare opportunity for most people.

Immediately afterwards, she saw the amazing "Bee Flying" on Venice Beach.

Immediately, with the first contract with the film company, he received $200,000. Although there are some games that are not humane, but for an 18-year-old boy, this is enough to attract too many people.

Finally, even the five legs he interrupted last night.

The baseball bat also struck him without causing much damage, but he knocked the leg bones of the young people into pieces, which is also impossible for ordinary people to do.

All of this let Catherine confirm that Simon is a genius.

however.

Genius and lunatic are always separated by a thin line.

Thinking about this, Catherine unknowingly held Simon's hand, looked at the boy on the bed sincerely, and whispered: "Simon, promise me, will this end this matter?"

Simon has never been a forgiving person.

However, at this moment, feeling the slight coolness in Catherine's palm, Simon found that the strong hostility that had been produced in his heart since last night gradually melted like ice and snow.

After a moment of silence, Simon nodded slightly in the look of Catherine's expectation: "Okay, Catherine, I listen to you."

Hearing what Simon said, the originally stagnant atmosphere around him eased.

Standing at the end of the bed, Janet also recovered from Simon’s unsentimental indifferent gaze, and noticed that the hands of the two people in front of her were still held together. Janet blinked, suddenly wanted to step forward and take Catherine. Pulled his hand away and replaced his own.

George Norman, who was silently acting as a bystander, recalled the scene just now and the situation in front of him, suddenly felt that his niece would really want to hear this result.

For some reason, Jennifer, who came to deal with the case with great interest this morning, heard that the boy was asking for 500,000 US dollars in compensation, and the rest of the morning was very depressed, and he was silent when facing his inquiry.

"Well, everyone," George Norman took the initiative as the dust settled, "In this case, I think I should leave."

Catherine heard George Norman speak, and then realized that she was holding the boy’s hand in front of her for a long time, and quickly released it without going to see Simon on the hospital bed. She stood up and said, "Mr. Norman, I give you."

George Norman nodded, but took out a business card from his suit pocket and handed it formally to Simon on the hospital bed, saying, "Mr. Westeros, this is my business card. If you need it in the future, you can Call me anytime."

Simon took the business card and nodded: "I will, Mr. Norman. Besides, I don't have a fixed address yet. You can send today's bill to Catherine first, and she will pass it on to me."

Although due to Catherine's persuasion, Simon gave up the plan to continue the investigation.

However, for people in this circle, it has never been difficult for Hollywood to hide secrets.

In the next few days, everyone who should know about this incident basically understood the ins and outs of the incident.

Most of the people Simon met after coming to Los Angeles also came to the hospital to visit him. After Fox got the news, David Giller, the producer of "Butterfly Effect", also appeared in the hospital.

In addition, the five young people whose legs were broken by Simon have also become the focus of many people.

Many people know that these five youths are Matthew Broderick's best friends. In connection with a series of recent events, it is not difficult for everyone to infer the truth of some facts.

When Jonathan Friedman came to the hospital to visit Simon, he even chatted with him about it.

It is said that Norman Broca also issued a not-so-formal ban, but it is completely unable to prevent the spread of various speculations. At the same time, the agent's words also faintly persuaded Simon not to pursue further investigations.

Now that the decision has been made, Simon will naturally not regret it.

Although the doctor hoped that Simon would be able to observe in the hospital for at least a week, since he was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday night, Simon only stayed until the weekend and went through the discharge procedures.

In the new week, there is also the first production meeting of "Butterfly Effect", which is also related to the revision of the script. Simon said on the day David Giller visited him that he did not need to adjust the time specially for him, and he would be punctual. turn up.
