Chapter 035 (1/2)

Time has come to the end of July unconsciously.

Today is Monday, July 28.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Simon arrived at Fox Studios in Beverly Hills Century City on time.

As the injury has not been completely recovered, Simon did not ride again today, but made an appointment for a taxi.

When he arrived at Fox Studios, Simon realized that he didn't have a pass. The guard looked at the young man who claimed to be coming to the film production meeting suspiciously. After a while, he agreed to make a phone call for him.

A few minutes later, the assistant of David giller, the producer of the butterfly effect, came to the gate and took Simon in.

Simon came to David giller's office with the assistant, and Brian De Palma had arrived early, which made Simon feel a little embarrassed. However, David giller and Brian De Palma did not care much and asked Simon about his recovery.

After a brief greeting, Peter Sanders, a vice president of fox pictures, and Vincent hill, another professional script analyst of fox pictures, arrived one after another. Today's meeting officially began.

In a small conference room in the executive building of Fox Studios, David giller, Brian De Palma and Simon, as well as two others, sat around the conference table. The secretary handed out copies of the script and a memo.

After seven years of polishing, the script of butterfly effect has been very perfect. Simon doesn't think there's much room for him to change the script he's going to get from the final movie.

However, when Simon opened the memo made by the script analyst Vincent hill, he felt that it was not so easy for him to get the remaining $60000.

Last Thursday, while Simon was still in hospital, he had received the first $140000 payment check in his contract with fox.

In this memo, from the title of the play to the end of the story, Vincent hill has put forward a very detailed evaluation and corresponding modification suggestions. Simon went through it and found that there were more than 50 annotations, almost equal to one amendment every two pages of the script.

As Simon puts down the memo, he looks up at the others, including Vincent hill. David giller and Peter Sanders are silent, but Brian De Palma frowns.

As a new screenwriter, Simon knows that he doesn't have much say in script revision. If he wants to get the remaining $60000, he can only honestly modify the script as required by the film company, or give up the right to let fox hire other writers.

With that in mind, Simon turned his attention back to the memo in front of him.

Even if he doesn't have much say, Simon is determined to keep the script as complete as possible.
