Chapter 053 (1/2)

Christmas, the last week of 1986.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was 1987.

At the beginning of the new year, the video and sound editing of ”Lola Run” all ended smoothly. Because of the excellent lens quality, Simon finished the color matching of the sample in only one week.

Then, ”Lola Run” began the final printing process.

On the other hand, ”Butterfly Effect” was finished in mid December and entered the post production stage.

Simon learned from David giller and Brian De Palma that fox has not yet finalized the schedule of the butterfly effect, which needs to be decided according to the quality of the film.

However, the two most likely schedules are either summer or Easter.

In this era, the popularity of Easter season in North America is not as high as later. The most important schedule in Hollywood is still summer vacation and the end of the year.

The box office success of ”Butterfly Effect” is very important for Simon's follow-up development in Hollywood. He naturally hopes that the film can be set in the popular summer season. However, it is obviously not something he can decide.

Now, the only thing Simon can control is Lola Run.

On January 13, Simon finally got the final copy of Lola Run.

January 14.

Fox, it's afternoon.

In a screening hall in the studio, David giller and Brian De Palma walked in together and found that a large group of people had gathered in the screening hall, who were basically members of the crew of ”Lola Run”.

Noting the arrival of the two, Simon, who was chatting with everyone, quickly got up to greet him, and others nodded.

As he was also busy with the later stage of the butterfly effect, Simon didn't meet many times these days. After saying hello, he sat down and chatted for a while. Then David giller said, ”Simon, can we start?”

”I'm sorry, David. I have to wait,” Simon said, shaking his head. ”Mr. Sanders has promised to come. He hasn't arrived yet.”

David giller heard the words and nodded understandably.

Simon invited Peter Sanders, vice president of fox pictures, apparently in connection with the release of ”Lola Run.”. David giller also specifically pointed out the details of Simon's distribution a few days ago.

Simon raised his wrist and looked at his watch. After the appointed time, he just got up and planned to go outside the screening hall.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Simon hesitated to go to the administration building in person, and Peter Sanders turned out of the corridor. Seeing Simon waiting outside the screening hall, Peter Sanders, with an apologetic look on his face, reached over and said, ”I'm so sorry, Simon. I just finished a meeting.”

”It doesn't matter,” Simon said, shaking hands with a smile. ”Well, Peter, let's go in.”

”Of course, I'm looking forward to your movie.”

When they entered the screening hall, Peter Sanders warmly welcomed the crowd and looked around. There were six rows of seats in the screening hall, separated from each other. In the first row, there are David giller and Brian De Palma on the left and Janet and Catherine on the right, with one seat left on each side.

After a moment's hesitation, Peter Sanders sat down next to David giller.

Simon stood next to Peter Sanders, noticing the details of each other's hesitation and just smiling.

Although tactful, but from this point of view, Peter Sanders is obviously not too atmospheric person.

As fox's top executive in charge of the butterfly effect project, he obviously didn't want to sit with David giller and Brian De Palma during the production process. However, Peter Sanders did not dare to show this contradiction publicly.

When Peter Sanders is seated, Simon orders the studio staff a few words before sitting next to Janet.

The lights in the projection hall soon dimmed.

Although he had seen the sample film in advance, he was busy for half a year and finally had to accept the audience's test. Simon was still a little nervous and could not help clenching his fist.

A cool little hand reached out in the dark and patted Simon on the back of his fist.

Simon turned, noticed Janet's bright eyes, gave her a smile, and held the cool little hand in his big hand.

Because it's the first audition of ”Lola Run”, Catherine, who is going to Arizona to shoot ”blood corpse night”, also made time to come here today.

At this time, sitting on the other side of Janet, Katherine noticed that Simon held Janet's little hand in his hand, and her eyes flashed a little lonely. After the new year, just returning to Los Angeles, Katherine clearly felt the further relationship between Simon and Janet.

Before Catherine could ask, Janet took the initiative to tell her about Christmas Eve.

I don't know how to block it at all.Until Catherine couldn't bear to cover Janet's mouth, the girl stopped Barra.

Trying to make herself forget all kinds of Janet's remarks as much as possible, but glancing at Simon's side face on the other side, Katherine still remembers Janet's ”tragic experience” of shaking five white tender fingers to describe her first time in her life that she had been tossed all night.

Her cheeks began to heat unconsciously, and Catherine quickly focused on the big screen in front of her.

Although with her understanding of the personalities of the two people around her, she felt that it might be Jennie's taste.

However.

Where do women need to reason.

Yeah.

Who said that?

With that in mind, a word that Janet used to criticize someone flashed into Katherine's mind.

There is a lot of resentment in the bottom of my heart.

Animals!

A small hand unconsciously touched to come over, want to pull oneself.

Open.
