at dusk.
Simon waited patiently for Janet to change into a formal little dress before the two left the villa.
The bodyguard had already prepared the car for the two of them in advance.
Simon came out with Janet and nodded politely to two middle-aged men in their forties named Neil Bennett and Ken Dixon. Although they had been very familiar with them for so many days, they still felt in their hearts. Somewhat quirky.
The two bodyguards were not hired by Simon from the security company, but borrowed by Janet from her own home.
Since they met, Simon has never taken the initiative to ask about Janet's family background, but the information flooded in the newspapers during this time is enough for him to know too much.
Janet was born in the old Johnston family in Australia.
Although the family wealth is only about 2 billion US dollars, it is not prominent on the list of the world's richest people. However, the Johnston family has a very strong potential influence in Australia.
Australia suddenly abolished the inheritance tax eight years ago, becoming the first country in the western developed countries to abolish this tax, which caused a sensation in the world for a while. It is said that behind the scenes there is a strong push from the Johnston family.
Subsequently, Janet's grandfather Nicholas Johnston died in 1983. Due to the abolition of estate tax, the Johnston family inherited the wealth of the previous generation intact.
Today, with the multiple shareholding structure and deep-rooted influence of the family, the Johnston family, which has prospered for a century, still firmly controls the Johnston Holding Group, which is involved in the fields of mining, animal husbandry, transportation and other multiple pillars of the Australian economy.
The turmoil dissipated, and the paparazzi gradually realized that it was not easy to find news from a young director like Simon, who did not go to nightclubs, do drugs, or fight. Therefore, during this time, there were significantly fewer media people chasing Simon.
Of course, this is only relative.
Simon's SUV left the Palisades mansion, and there were still many cars following him along the way. Met with Mike Medova at a restaurant next to the Century City Ranch Park Golf Club.
Arriving at the destination, the two bodyguards skillfully protected Simon and Janet from the paparazzi who wanted to squeeze forward. After entering the restaurant, Janet took Simon's arm, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "If you don't like it, when we have the money to hire our own bodyguards, just send Neil and Ken back to Australia."
Simon said something to the waiting waiter, followed the other side into the restaurant, and said to Janet in a low voice, "The two of them are fine, I just feel a little, um, weird."
This is Simon's heart.
As a profession closest to the employer, capable and trustworthy bodyguards are also hard to find. Although they have only been together for a few weeks, Simon can feel that the professionalism of the two of Neil is absolutely impeccable. As for trust, when it comes to Janet, the Johnston family is naturally even less likely to be sloppy in this regard.
Janet smiled softly after hearing what Simon said, and stopped answering.
After walking a distance with the waiter, the two came to a seat. Mike Medova, president of Orion Pictures, had already stood up and greeted Simon and Janet warmly.
The three then took their seats.
After ordering and chatting, the topic was turned to the upcoming 59th Academy Awards by Mike Medova.
This year's Oscars ceremony will be held on March 30, which is next Monday.
Orion has not only released a box office hit, but this year's Oscar has won a total of 18 Oscar nominations for films such as "Field Platoon" and "Hannah Sisters". This period of time can be described as infinite.
So there's been a palpable high spirit in every recent gesture of Mike Medova.
"That's it, Simon," Mike Medova looked at the young men and women sitting across from him, "Do you and Jenny want to go to the Oscars next week?"
Simon didn't expect Mike Medova to bring this up.
Relying on the large number of nominations received this year, it is naturally easy for Orion to temporarily arrange one or two people to participate in the Oscars. Due to the box office success of "Lola Run," the Oscars obviously won't skimp on two extra invitations.
Moreover, attending the Oscars ceremony will definitely boost the follow-up box office of "Lola Run".
only.
With Mike Medova's proposal, a word popped out of Simon's mind.
rub!
Shame.
So he immediately shook his head, and Simon said, "Mike, I'm not going."
Mike Medova did not expect that this opportunity, which might be squeezed by many starlets, was rejected by Simon without hesitation. A little dazed, she also looked at Janet beside Simon, hoping she could say something. Women should be very eager to attend such occasions.
However, Janet obviously didn't seem to hear it, and she was helping her boyfriend arrange a napkin with a low eyebrow.
All right.
Another very personal couple.
Mike Medova thought so, smiled casually, and said, "Forget it, Simon. I invited you tonight, I just wanted to ask, how are you thinking about the next movie?"
Simon knew that Mike Medova invited himself tonight mainly for this, and he didn't hide it, saying: "I already have a complete idea, but the script won't start writing until next month. Mike, you
Also know how busy I am lately. "
"Of course, Orion is not in a hurry," Mike Medova said, but his body leaned forward slightly, and said, "Then, Simon, tell me about it first."
Simon sorted out his thoughts and said: "This is a crime drama with a B-level style, consisting of six independent but related short stories. Similar to "Lola Run", I still hope that through a kind of The alternative non-linear narrative mode brings all the stories together in a unified way."
During this time, Simon has been thinking about his next film.
Simon's next directing film after "Lola Run" will not be difficult to achieve commercially. But if Simon wants to maintain his popularity, or even go further, his next film must be as refreshingly amazing as "Lola Run."
After much deliberation, Simon finally settled on Quentin's Pulp Fiction.
Pulp Fiction also belongs to the non-linear narrative structure, and also pushes the non-linear narrative of the film to a more imaginative realm. After the film appeared, it not only aroused strong repercussions in the year it was released, but also had a very profound impact on many directors in Hollywood, the United Kingdom and even across the ocean.
