Chapter 003 (1/2)
After a journey of more than seven hours, the bus finally arrived at the terminal of the trip in the evening.
Simon got out of the car and looked around the street. Although he had never been here, according to the information in his mind, he quickly determined that this should be Burbank city in the San Fernando Valley in the northwest of Los Angeles County, and he had to cross the South Santa Monica mountain from his ideal destination.
On the other side of the mountain is Hollywood, the real geographic Hollywood.
In the 1980s, although many Hollywood film studios began to move to the surrounding areas, more production companies, distribution companies and brokerage companies related to the film industry still gathered on the world-famous streets in Downtown Hollywood.
Katherine got off behind Simon. She also stood on the side of the road and looked around. Before her appointment to pick up her friend arrived, she looked at Simon next to her.
I thought it would be a very boring journey, because the appearance of the big boy became very rich. After exchanging with each other and reading the script, the two talked about a lot of topics with relish in the rest of the journey.
Although she was much younger than herself, Catherine even felt that she was a young girl in front of him for a moment.
It's hard to imagine how this big boy has accumulated so much knowledge. Whether it's film, music, her professional painting, or many other topics, he is able to deal with them freely and talk with them freely. She even has a sense of great benefit after just a few hours of getting along.
About to depart, Catherine suddenly realized that she knew nothing about Simon except her name and the reason why he came to Los Angeles this time to be a screenwriter. But she was unconsciously guided by him to reveal a lot of things. For example, she grew up in San Francisco. This time, she went back to see her parents. She was in Manhattan that year Life in Soho District, why are you interested in movies and want to be a director.
If he did it on purpose, it would be abominable.
However, when you think about it, it seems that you didn't ask these questions. Many of his topics have already overwhelmed her.
Simon looked around and turned to Catherine. Seeing that the woman was just looking at herself, he nodded and laughed at her.
Along the way, Simon found a very strong contrast between Catherine's personality and her film style. The characters in women's images often kill and set fire without scruples, speak dirty words, and live without fear, but Catherine's character in life is very quiet, and she speaks quietly to people, even appears very shy.
Of course, Simon doesn't feel too strange. This kind of intense personality conflict between real life and personal works is almost schizophrenic, which is very common among all types of artists.
With that in mind, Simon asked the woman, ”Katherine, is there no one to pick you up?”
”Yes, it's just that it hasn't come yet.” Catherine didn't have the words she just wanted to say. Hearing Simon speak first, she had to shake her head and ask, ”what about you?”
Simon shrugged: ”I thought we could put together a car, AA about the fare.”
”I live in Malibu,” Catherine said, raising her hand and pointing westward. ”Where are you going? If you're on the way, I'll take you there later.”
”Malibu, that's a good city,” Simon said with a smile. ”Why don't you think about taking me in, cooking, washing, cleaning, all of which I can do. Just take care of the food.”
Katherine gave Simon a slight look, which was regarded as contempt for his behavior of wanting to eat soft food, but then she explained seriously: ”I live with my friends, but I don't have the right to take you in.”
Simon laughed. Of course, he was only joking. Even if Catherine did say yes, he would refuse.
It's not that he can't eat Catherine's ”soft food”, but that he has a deep-rooted resistance to living in other people's homes. He is more used to living in his own house.
Of course, this kind of thing may not come true for a long time in the future.
However, hearing that Catherine said she was staying at a friend's house, Simon suddenly remembered.
Friends?
Is it James Cameron?
In the original time and space, Catherine and Cameron used to be husband and wife, which was very hot in the year when ”the bomb disposal unit” won the Oscar, ”the bomb disposal unit” vs ”Avatar” and ”ex wife vs ex husband”.
After searching through the information in his mind, Simon quickly rejected the speculation.
Cameron's wife is Gail Anne Hurd, the producer of terminator, and Cameron's bole. They just got married last year. Although Cameron is not a stable man, they should not divorce until three or four years later.
Catherine naturally didn't know Simon's mind. After explaining, she said, ”Simon, since you don't know anyone in Los Angeles and plan to become a screenwriter, you should need an agent, right? Maybe I can help you.”
Simon had some plans of his own, but when he heard Catherine's words, he got serious and said, ”is that OK, I mean, if it's no trouble?””Of course not,” said Catherine, shaking her head. ”But I can only introduce you. It's up to you to persuade the other party to become your agent. Wma, you know what? That's a very good agency. ”
