As the most influential newspaper on the West Coast of the United States, the "Los Angeles Times" is usually more than 50 pages of news information in the non-Sunday edition, compared to "Lola Run", which was hidden in an inconspicuous corner and hardly noticed by readers. Film critics, Peter Butler's article about Simon this time landed directly on the front page navigation of the newspaper.

Although it is still not front-page news, as a highly recommended navigation information, this part of the content is almost a must-read article for most subscribers.

In this era, newspapers can be said to be the main channel for ordinary people to obtain information, and powerful print media such as the Los Angeles Times play a role in guiding public opinion.

and.

Young man rushing out of a mental hospital.

madman?

Unique last name.

One script made $200,000.

At the age of 18, he made an acclaimed solo film.

Talented boy.

Peter Butler listed this series of personal labels of Simon in the article, which is simply a perfect embodiment of the American dream for Americans who adore miracles, advocating adventure, and advocating individual heroism.

So, with this article in the "Los Angeles Times", Simon's attention that has been accumulated piecemeal in some media since he signed the "Butterfly Effect" screenwriting contract with Fox Pictures last year, has completely exploded.

As if all of a sudden, a lot of people started talking, who is Simon Westeros?

Then.

Simon's series of news since his emergence last year has been re-excavated by the pervasive media, and every detail involved in Peter Butler's article has also become the object of some media discussions.

Even a local Los Angeles gossip tabloid broke the news on the front page of Simon's late-night attack in Santa Monica last year.

Although it was stated that this was a real case confirmed by the Santa Monica Police Department, the tabloid completely adopted a joking tone of surprise, describing Simon as one against five, bravely smashing five The gangster's right leg also knocked out seven of the gangster's teeth with one elbow, which is simply Bruce Lee's rebirth.

Immediately afterwards, due to the proximity of the water tower, the San Francisco Chronicle, which is also influential in San Francisco, also released a biography of Simon, which completed all his experiences before the age of 18.

Growing up at the Child Welfare Center in San Jose.

original last name.

The only top student admitted to Stanford in a community public high school for many years.

Within two months of entering Stanford, he suffered a sudden schizophrenia.

The San Francisco Chronicle recounted Simon's growing up experience in a very sympathetic tone, and questioned the child welfare home in San Jose based on Simon's self-reliance at the age of 13, and speculated that Simon's The root cause of mental illness is likely to be the intense stress caused by years of hard life.

As for why such a young man from the bottom was suddenly able to make a well-received solo film, the San Francisco Chronicle failed to find the root cause. However, the newspaper also did not show too much surprise, but quoted a sentence from the teacher of Simon Middle School who was interviewed by the newspaper: Simon is a very hardworking child, and I will not be surprised if he creates any miracles.

This view is almost identical to the one in Peter Butler's article, and also unknowingly creates a realistic basis for Simon's sudden emergence as a cinematic genius.

Of course, in the midst of the noise, there is naturally no shortage of voices of doubt.

After the Los Angeles Times article about Simon was published, many people in the countless related calls to the newspaper editorial department were surprised that Peter Butler praised a young man so much, and even felt that the Los Angeles Times was grandstanding.

The host of a late-night talk show on a local TV station even more unceremoniously and bitterly mocked the news about Simon Yi in the gossip tabloid.

With the continuous accumulation and brewing of public opinion, the public's final attention was gradually shifted to one thing, Simon's film, "Run Lola".

Since you guys made the boy so good, show us the movie?

As a result, as Simon's most direct partner with Hollywood, many calls were also made to Fox Pictures to inquire about the release date of "Lola Run". Many newspapers that were watching the excitement and had not joined the discussion were also sincerely or sarcastically. Urge Hollywood studios to push "Lola Run" to theaters as soon as possible.

Los Angeles.

Now that the public opinion campaign has been successful, after Simon returned from Park City, he simply asked his agent Jonathan Friedman to help and held a small preview meeting for various Hollywood film companies in a screening hall in Century City.

In the following days, Simon frequently negotiated with the executives of major film companies in person.

However, the result was not satisfactory.

Friday, January 30.

Near the end of get off work, returning from Warners Studios in Burbank, the Chevrolet SUV stopped in front of the villa in the Montana district.

Janet pushed the door and got out of the car, looked at her boyfriend who had returned empty-handed on the other side of the car, the woman walked over and put her arms around Simon, and put a sticker on his shoulder, saying, "Sooner or later, the film company will chase after him. who you seek to collaborate with, like Spielberg did."

Simon took the woman to the door, took out the key to open the door, and said with a smile

: "Just like Spielberg? Why can't we be our own bosses and instead have those executives work for us."

"Mmmmmm," Janet nodded as if pecking at rice, and said with certainty, "Daenerys Pictures will definitely develop into a big company like Fox and Warner in the future."

Simon opened the door and saw that Janet was still hanging on him. He stretched out his hand to pick up the woman's light body and gently threw it to the living room sofa. Then he smiled and said, "I still don't have enough imagination. In the future, I will be like Morgan and Rockefeller. Like, to be the master of the whole of Hollywood."

I remember seeing a tree diagram of the corporate relationships of major Hollywood film companies in the early 20th century. The eight major film companies of that year kept going back, half belonged to Morgan and half belonged to Rockefeller.

That was the golden age of capital.

Janet was thrown on the sofa by Simon. Listening to what he just said, her body was soft and she barely supported herself. She blushed and looked at the man who hung the bag on the hanger: "Simon, I will help you."

"Okay," Simon agreed. Seeing that there was a message on the phone in the living room, he walked over to press it and said, "Why don't you start by helping me make dinner?"

"Hmm."

Janet nodded, but hugged a pillow and lay lazily on the sofa.

On the other hand, the phone message came from Mike Medova, president of Orion Films, asking if Simon had time tonight, hoping to have dinner together.

Simon naturally understood Mike Medova's intentions, and he couldn't help thinking about it.

In recent days, Simon has basically been in contact with all seven Hollywood studios. However, the conditions set by the Seventh Congress were difficult to satisfy.

Simon is not greedy enough either.

The current heated media discussion around the age of his production of "Lola Run", just like "Blair Witch", which relied on Internet virus marketing in the original time and space, may only be used once in this life.

If it works well, and luck is good enough, "Lola Run" may well be a small box-office miracle. Simon can also use this opportunity to accumulate a good initial capital.

only.

The long-term industry advantages have made the seven major film companies very strong in cooperation negotiations. In addition, "Lola Run" lacks standard commercial film attributes. The conditions offered by each company are generally lower than Simon's expectations. Simon Apparently there isn't much room for bargaining either.

Leaving Warner Studios in the afternoon, Simon had already confirmed a reality in his heart.

At least for now.

Seven major film companies, not ideal partners.

After reorganizing his thoughts, Simon looked at Janet who was still lying on the sofa, and said with a smile, "Get up, you don't need to cook dinner, let's eat together."

Now that the decision has been made, Simon no longer places his hopes on the Big Seven studios.

Mike Medova, president of Orion Pictures, has always been very interested in the project after seeing the script and storyboards for "Lola Run". Compared with the seven major film companies, Orion Films can also negotiate cooperation with Simon from a relatively equal position.

Both sides have a tendency to cooperate, so they hit it off at the ensuing dinner. After two days of intensive negotiations over the weekend, Simon quickly reached a distribution deal with Orion Pictures.

Monday, February 2.

An announcement in The Hollywood Reporter quickly attracted a lot of attention.

"Orion Pictures and Simon Westeros have reached an agreement that 'Lola Run' will be officially launched in North American theaters on February 13."
