Chapter 005 (1/2)

Simon took the script for the butterfly effect out of his backpack and handed it to Jonathan Friedman.

Jonathan Friedman didn't open it. He just glanced at the cover, put the script on the desk and continued to look at him with a smile.

In this case, Simon sorted out his thoughts and began to elaborate: ”this is a suspense thriller of soft science fiction. From a very young age, people around Ivan often found that the child would make some very strange or even strange behaviors without any reason. However, after everything, he always claimed that he did not remember the situation at that time. The doctor classified Ivan's condition as intermittent amnesia and recommended him to write a diary for adjuvant treatment

Simon said this, noticed that Jonathan Friedman's expression had shown a bit of curiosity, and went on.

The general plot of butterfly effect is the story of a young man who has the ability to go back to the past by reading his diary. In order to make up for his regret, he tries to change his life time and time again.

However, every time the hero tries to change the past, when he returns to the age of 20, he finds that everything around him doesn't develop according to his imagination, or even gets worse.

The biggest feature of the butterfly effect is its rigorous plot, which is closely linked to each other. The whole story is like a well conceived network, and all the details can be found in other places.

Therefore, this film is a classic in the hearts of many fans of suspense thrillers.

In the original time and space, the production company of ”Butterfly Effect” was new line film. Simon heard that there were many endings in the film editing process. However, what he finally chose is the darkest and the most powerful one. After trying again and again, the hero went back to his mother's womb in despair and strangled himself with the umbilical cord.

Then the whole story came to an abrupt end.

After Simon's brief introduction, Jonathan Friedman, who had no expectations for him, fell into silence.

”Back to the future,” the first film of Robert zemigs, was just released last year and won the box office title of the year in 1985.

Therefore, Simon's play, which is similar to ”back to the future”, is far beyond Jonathan Friedman's expectation. He even thinks that this story is even better than ”back to the future” in simple conception.

At least now, just such a novel script idea is enough to persuade him to recommend Simon to the literature agency of wma.

You know, Hollywood is also full of follow-up phenomenon. It is only because of the generally long production cycle of Hollywood movies that people do not feel that a movie is hot in the first half of the year and a lot of movies of the same type will be released in the second half of the year.

Therefore, when ”back to the future” won the box office champion last year, Simon's idea, as long as it is combined with a relatively perfect script, can definitely arouse the strong interest of Hollywood film companies.

What's more, such a strangely conceived thriller happens to be the type of project Jonathan Friedman is looking for recently.

Now the key is, what is the quality of the script in hand?

After all, Hollywood never lacks creativity. What it lacks is a perfect story script that can be transformed into a wonderful film on the basis of relevant creativity.

Many Hollywood movies usually have to go through a long period of revision in the script creation stage. The main reason is that there are too many details between an operable script and the original story creation that need to be adjusted.

Thinking quickly in his mind, he looked down at the cover of the play in his hand. Jonathan Friedman subconsciously asked a question similar to Catherine's yesterday: ”Simon, can you explain the meaning of” Butterfly Effect ”first

Simon nodded and explained the theory of Professor Edward Lorenz at MIT again.

When Jonathan Friedman finished listening, he asked a question that surprised him: ”so, did you go to MIT?”

”No,” Simon shook his head, but immediately added, ”I went to Stanford last year and got a full scholarship. I just dropped out early because of some changes.”

Simon said that, and Jonathan Friedman's expression changed a little bit.

Although Stanford University does not belong to the Ivy League of the United States, in fact, the overall strength of this top university on the west coast of the United States has surpassed most members of the league, and has a significant place in the world university rankings.

Simon can enter Stanford University in the form of full scholarship, even if he has dropped out at this time, but this kind of qualification can definitely make Jonathan Friedman's evaluation of him several grades higher.

Simon also knew that he was actually conducting an interview.

Westerners don't pay attention to modesty. The better a person performs in an interview, the more successful he is.
