Chapter 028 (1/2)

Two people sat in the coffee shop until evening. Simon explained the details of Lola Run to Sandra Bullock in great detail.

Sandra Bullock is a very straightforward character, agreed to Simon's request for hair dyeing without hesitation, and also said that he would start to exercise during this period to adapt to the upcoming high-intensity shooting.

In the end, Sandra has no objection to Simon's $5000 offer.

It's settled for the heroine.

It's a new week.

After last Thursday's Los Angeles Times article, in the following days, some media turned their attention to the story of butterfly effect.

Now that he has taken over the project, fox is aware of this situation and begins to promote the butterfly effect. Wma is more willing to see the media shift their attention from the company to the packaging project itself.

As a result, more and more people began to pay attention to the ”Butterfly Effect”.

However, although many media began to attach Simon's name to the script related topics of the butterfly effect, Jonathan successfully blocked some invitation to interview Simon himself.

As a newcomer, the $200000 script transaction price is really amazing, but after all, it's just a screenwriter who doesn't pay too much attention. Just as few people remember, last year a new script called ”lethal weapons” was sold for $250000.

In the final analysis, script trading will only be concerned by those writers who also want to be outstanding. Most ordinary people, even if they notice it, often marvel and admire it, and then there will be no more.

So Simon's life is still very peaceful.

Now that we have made an appointment with Roger, Simon still hasn't left Griffin supermarket in the new week, and the fat boss is happy that Simon, a young man with a low salary but still dutiful, continues to work for himself.

After several days of intensive negotiation, the final signing date of wma and fox's ”butterfly project” packaging contract is set on Tuesday.

Simon arrived at wma headquarters around 8:50 a.m., and Jonathan's black Mercedes just turned into the parking lot.

After locking the bike, Simon went to Jonathan, who was standing nearby waiting for him. He shook hands with his agent and said, ”good morning, Joe.”

”Good morning, Simon.”

Jonathan smiles and shakes hands with Simon, then looks at his bike.

Jonathan lent Simon $20000 before he went to San Francisco last week, and Simon spent only $500 on the whole process.

However, after he came back, Jonathan did not take back the money. He knew that Simon was still living in a motel. He just told Simon to choose a suitable residence as soon as possible. The money was regarded as his advance payment for the butterfly effect.

Jonathan thought that Simon would be eager to improve his life when he suddenly had a large amount of money in his hands. I didn't expect that Simon was still riding that second-hand bicycle today, and his clothes didn't change much.

Although he admired the teenager's self-control in money, Jonathan advised: ”Simon, you'd better buy a car as soon as possible. You can't do without a car in Los Angeles. Even if Fox's remuneration will take a few days, that $20000 is almost enough.”

Simon nodded with a smile and said, ”I'll think about it as soon as possible.”

It's not that Simon doesn't want to improve his life. He has made an appointment with a realtor and plans to rent an apartment as soon as possible in the next few days. There are too many inconveniences in motels after all.

But in addition, Simon has no plans to buy a car or other clothes for the time being.

On the one hand, Simon is too busy. He arranges his time very fully and doesn't have much spare time to go shopping.

On the other hand, with the deepening of the preparation for ”Lola Run”, Simon is more and more aware that he may have mistaken a very important thing, which makes him more cautious in spending money.

After Simon and Jonathan arrived at wma headquarters, several other creators of the butterfly effect, including director Brian De Palma, actor Matt Dillon and heroine Elizabeth sue, also arrived one after another.

After Lu Weiss and other senior officials briefly stepped in, Jonathan is now in charge of the project.

We simply held a small meeting and went to Fox Studios, which is not far from wma headquarters.

On Fox's side, fox President Ronald Goldberg also appeared at the signing ceremony, as well as David giller, fox's producer in charge of the butterfly effect.

The signing ceremony starts at ten o'clock.

However, the whole process is rather low-key, which is also the common wish of both sides.

In a conference room of fox headquarters, under the witness of lawyers of both sides, Simon, like other people, frequently signed his name on the thick contract in duplicate, so busy for more than ten minutes, and finally finalized it completely.Then there was a simple luncheon. We had dinner together in a restaurant in Fox Studios. The heads of the two companies introduced to each other the staff who would be responsible for all aspects of the butterfly effect project.

During this period, Simon was also informed that the first production meeting of butterfly effect will be held next Monday, mainly to discuss the revision of the script.

Although Simon is very confident, the script he has provided is quite perfect.
