Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

Simon's log house is located on a hill in the southeast of Park City. There are four buildings in total, one of which is the owner's residence, and the three surrounding buildings are lived by bodyguards and other followers.

I don't know since when, Simon has never left the bodyguard.

With Simon's current wealth status, he is destined to pay great attention to his own safety. The world is definitely not as peaceful as ordinary people imagine.

Arrived in Park City at noon, followed by a series of schedules.

In the evening, I accompanied Katherine to a party of filmmakers organized by Robert Redford, and only returned to the residence on the hill at ten o'clock.

The SUV, which was perfect for driving in Park City, stopped quietly in front of the Hill House, and Simon and Katherine got out of the car together, and were immediately surrounded by the heavy chill of the night.

At the foot of the mountain, because of the popularity brought by the Sundance Film Festival, Park City is still a lively scene of bright lights.

In recent years, not only filmmakers, but every Sundance Film Festival has gradually developed into a comprehensive gathering in the entertainment industry. Not only filmmakers, but also the music and fashion circles have begun to join in the fun.

Without staying too long in the cold outdoors, Simon and Catherine entered the wooden house together. The two girls who followed this time, Zoe Parks and Isabelle Dunn, had already lit the fireplace and prepared hot coffee. Warm inside.

The remaining three abd girls have received training in baby care in advance, and now they will basically not leave the Dumei Cape Manor.

If Simon wanted someone to take care of him, he could only pick someone from the new team of maids brought by the housekeeper.

Speaking of which, after the last espionage incident, Simon told Janet to conduct a background check on the girls around her again, and the results were not bad. Probably because the time was too short, there was nothing wrong with these girls.

As for some people around Simon, they have basically been checked out now.

Just worried that there will be another batch after sending out a batch, Simon didn't move these guys who have been exposed.

Catherine didn't ask Zoe Parks who came over to help, she took off her thick down jacket and hung it on the hanger next to her, and finally she didn't forget to glared at Simon, she obviously saw that the girl with the protruding chest was picking up her. Simon rubbed his body against the man while getting dressed.

Simon pretended not to notice the woman's gaze, and when Isabel hung up the windbreaker, he said, "Go and rest. Besides, you don't need to get up too early tomorrow morning. Catherine and I will prepare breakfast yourself."

The two women noticed the aura emanating from Catherine, and they knew that they would definitely not have any chance tonight, so they responded obediently and took the initiative to retreat.

Simon brought the coffee prepared by the two maids to the coffee table in front of the fireplace, poured a cup and handed it to Catherine, who was sitting on the sofa, and said with a smile, "Don't blame me, in fact, Jenny was jealous, so she sent two coffees on purpose. A lightbulb came to disturb us."

Catherine took the coffee and held it in her hand, but just gave Simon a roll of eyes.

In fact, Janet's original words were that Simon's life skills had deteriorated so much in the past two years that he might starve to death without anyone to take care of him, so he asked the two girls to follow him.

Of course, there must be some women who are jealous.

Think about the fact that you want to look after the children at home, but the man goes to date with his best friend. Even if you really don't care about it, you always have to express your attitude.

Catherine didn't answer, Simon just smiled, poured himself a cup of coffee, and cheekily leaned over and sat down beside the woman.

If she was really angry, Catherine should be sitting on the sofa next to her.

Just now, the woman took the initiative to sit down on the double sofa facing the fireplace. Such small details are still easy to find.

Simon came over and seemed to feel that his mind had been pierced. Catherine's face flashed some embarrassment, and she deliberately gave way to the side, as if to draw a clear line with Simon.

Of course she can't be allowed to "succeed".

The woman backed away, and Simon squeezed her cheeky and decisively, and then was cast a blank eye again.

Taking a sip of the hot coffee in his hand, Simon took the initiative to find a topic and said: "You clearly know that "Reservoir Dogs" is a project of Gaomen Pictures. This time, there is no award given. It's too much."

"Reservoir Dogs" is Quentin's famous work.

Although Pulp Fiction was taken away in advance, some things have not changed.

In recent years, Goldman Films has maintained a very close working relationship with Sundance, and Quentin happened to attend a training class organized by the Sundance Institute.

So the script for Reservoir Dogs came to Simon last year.

Taking the lead, Gaomen Pictures naturally won the project, and also facilitated the cooperation between Harvey Keitel and Quentin, who had just finished filming "A Farewell to the Piano".

Of course, because of the participation of Daenerys Entertainment, a major studio, the budget cost of the film has also risen from 1.2 million in Simon's memory to $2.5 million. "Reservoir Dogs" has also become the flagship of Goldman Pictures in the main competition section of the Sundance Film Festival this year.

Although the closing ceremony is tomorrow, the results of Sundance's awards have been released two days before.

The organizer also specially sent a notice to the winning crew.

Although she knew that the little man beside her was not really pointing at her, Catherine explained seriously: "Everyone doesn't like the show of violence in this film."

Simon asked with a smile: "How about you, what do you think about this movie?

how? "

"The narrative structure is unique, but I don't quite understand what the director is trying to convey through this story."

Simon changed to a more comfortable posture and leaned on the sofa, looking at Catherine who was wearing a black turtleneck and jeans beside him, and said, "So, you are still not a real filmmaker."

Catherine was puzzled, and involuntarily showed some instinctive dissatisfaction from a woman, and glared at the little man beside her.

He finally got an Oscar nomination for Best Director.

Not a filmmaker.

Well, what else is that?

Simon did not immediately continue the topic just now. He gestured to the lady's leather boots on Catherine's feet, and said, "I still wear this in the house. If my feet are not cold, take it off and warm it up."

Catherine glanced at the leather boots on her feet, tapped twice on the floor, and turned her calf slightly sideways: "Help me take it off."

"no problem."

Simon was very straightforward, put the coffee cup on the coffee table, reached out and grabbed the woman's long legs and brought it over.

Catherine carefully guarded the coffee in her hand so that it didn't spill, and watched the little man with anger, taking off his leather boots and throwing them aside, and even took off his socks.

The shoes and socks are all new, and Catherine is also a very clean person. There is no smell on her feet, and she is not worried about making a bad impression on the little man.

However, when the shoes and socks were taken off, she immediately pulled back the man's feet on her lap, but instead of stepping on the floor again, she sat sideways and buried her feet beside the man. When he got his coffee back, he asked, "Why am I not a filmmaker?"

"My personal opinion, a real filmmaker, should express what he wants to express. The director of Reservoir Dogs did that brilliantly. You don't understand what his film is trying to express, it's just influenced by tradition. It is a serious misunderstanding to think that a film should show some point of view value and social significance.”

Catherine listened carefully and wanted to refute, but found that Simon's words actually made sense.

She is studying art.

The paintings of many outstanding artists are indeed purely expressing their inner thoughts, and there is no intention to instill a certain point of view in outsiders.

However, doing so has not affected many works to become classics.

Movies, it seems, should do the same.

Think about yourself again.

The first theatrical feature film "Blood Corpse Night" tells an alternative vampire love story, which is really not a subject she likes too much. But a woman who wants to be a director simply doesn't have many options in Hollywood.

Subsequent "Blue Angels of Thunder", "Terror Point" and even the most recent "Crazy Flowers", she was actually instilling her own will into the film, however, this kind of presentation was actually not successful.

For example, this time, "Crazy Flowers at the End of the Road", she believes that she has produced her own style.

However, the core feminist awakening concept of the film comes more from the screenwriter of the story than her director.

Thinking of this, Catherine couldn't help looking at the little man beside her.

Not to mention the screenwriting works, the "Lola Run", "Pulp Fiction" and even "Batman: Hour of War" directed by him have different styles and themes, but the films themselves all carry a strong personal will. After watching these films, the audience will easily remember this film, and every time it is mentioned in the future, everyone will say that this is a work by Simon Westeros.

Look back at "Blood Corpse Night" and a few more.

If it weren't for her, the female director is relatively rare in Hollywood, and it would be difficult for the audience to remember who the director is after watching the film.

Simon looked at Catherine's enlightened expression and said with a smile: "Are you very frustrated, you feel that there is no love for failure in life, come on, lend you a shoulder to lean on."

After kicking him decisively, after thinking for a moment, Catherine said, "Then, what should I do?"

"Find some subjects that you really want to shoot. Even if you don't write the script yourself, you can also conceive the outline yourself and make something that truly belongs to you."

Catherine was lost in thought again.

Then she was a little terrified to find that she didn't know what she wanted to shoot.

her age.

I don't even want to think about this in front of the little man.

However, being overwhelmed by the real social environment, it is doomed that it is difficult for her to have as many naive and simple ideas as young people who have just entered the society.

Why did you switch from an art major to studying film in the first place?

It was because she was reminded by a mentor that she felt that compared to painting, movies could show many things in a more three-dimensional manner.

Then jump into it with enthusiasm.

Reality is always unsatisfactory.

Most Hollywood directors tend to be 30 years old before they can direct their first movie, not to mention, she is still a woman.

In ten years, before "Blood Dead Night", she just completed the feature film debut called "Relentless" through some film funds.

How many dreams in this world can stand the test of time?

How many people can be born like this little man beside him, and they are amazing.

When many of his peers haven't figured out their future, he has left the whole world far behind

.

Thinking of this, Catherine looked at Simon, couldn't help shaking her head, and said with some frustration in her tone: "I, I don't know what to do."

Simon looked at Katherine's dejected appearance, and turned his body to his side, scooping up the woman's feet that were hidden beside him, and holding a pair of calves on his thighs, saying, "No one feels what they should do from the beginning. , Only those who have experienced and seen the inadequacies of this world and are determined to change will work hard in the direction they want to change, so you can take a serious look at the world next."

Catherine didn't answer, and seemed to wait for Simon to continue.

Simon continued: "What do you think my purpose in life is?"

Catherine smiled slightly and said, "Jenny told me that you want to rule the world."

"Did Jenny tell you about her dreams?"

"I said, destroy the world."

"Okay, you can bear it and you haven't killed me in order to protect human beings. It seems that you really like me."

Catherine kicked Simon again in embarrassment.

Simon pressed the woman's calf, rubbed the rough jeans fabric, and continued: "Actually, my outlook on this world is very pessimistic, and I think that human beings will eventually go to self-destruction. Therefore, ruling this world is a very important thing. Stupid stuff, even if you can do it on the surface, you can't control all the hearts after all."

"Control people, you are more dangerous than Jenny said."

"When you have enough power and you get used to it, you think some things are really boring."

"Um?"

Aware that Catherine seemed to be more confused by herself, Simon smiled and said, "You are different from me and Jenny, two potential anti-social elements, you should like this world, at least this country has become Better yet, it's a notion common to ordinary people who have lived in a social environment for a long time."

Catherine paused and nodded.

Although it feels a little weird.

Simon just used a 'human'.

The word can be translated as human and it can also be translated as human.

Catherine somehow felt that the word Simon used seemed to be more suitable to be translated as 'human'.

Corresponding to 'human', isn't it 'non-human'?

In fact, I have seen with my own eyes that he has done too many things that only 'non-humans' can do.

Of course Simon couldn't guess the woman's mind, and continued: "So, you can spend one to two years, you don't need to rush to start a new film, carefully observe the world, and find out what you think people need to remember or need to change. It’s also something that resonates with you personally, and then use that as a theme for your next film.”
