Chapter 055 (1/2)

”Because it's been too long, some of the original actors have dropped out. Recently, they are re casting. I'll probably go to Arizona on the 20th,” Katherine said to Simon about her schedule as the three people walk side by side on the neat asphalt corridor in Fox Studios. She glanced at Janet, who is hanging intimately on Simon's arm on the other side. After thinking about it, she said again, ”I've already finished After talking to Mr. Feldman, Simon, if you can help me, you can be my assistant director. However, if you are busy with other things, it's OK not to come. The publicity of ”Lola Run” should be very troublesome

After confirming the relationship with Janet, Simon didn't have any special thoughts on Catherine. He also realized why Catherine said that. Hearing this, he shook his head and said with a smile, ”I'm not going to do the publicity of” Lola Run ”myself. I just need to settle the distribution contract with the film company. With this done, I won't be too busy for the next few months. So, before the end of the month, I'm sure I can get to your crew. ”

Katherine said what she had just said, and her mind began to rise inexplicably. Listening to Simon's words, the woman just nodded, her eyes floated away, and said, ”well, OK.”

It's not far from work time. Catherine and Janet are going back to Malibu together.

Simon takes the two women to the fork in the road leading to the parking lot and turns to Peter Sanders' administration building alone.

Walking toward the parking lot together, Catherine saw Janet and Simon separated, and then intimately took his arm, casually said: ”don't you plan to move to live with Simon?”

Janet shook her head. ”No, of course I live in my big house by the sea. He's not comfortable at all.”

Katherine can't help joking: ”you are so hard to support, Simon will suffer in the future.”

”Ha ha, who let him be a man.”

Katherine also smiles, but turns to say: ”I'll look for a house in Los Angeles after shooting blood dead night. Then you can have Simon move to Malibu, too. ”

”I've already told Simon about it. Malibu's house is so big that it's OK to live in the three of us, but he doesn't want to,” Janet said, with a little melancholy in her voice. Finally, she said angrily, ”male chauvinism.”

”You don't want to move there, and he doesn't want to move here, so what are you going to do?”

”When he makes money to buy a big house,” Janet said, rubbing against Katherine and laughing, ”but it's good to live apart. I think I'll be killed if I move together too soon, this animal.”

Catherine saw that Janet began to run away again. She felt a slight heat on her cheek. She raised her hand and knocked her on the head. ”Shut up, I won't listen to your mess.”

”Woo, it hurts. Hee hee.”

Simon came outside Peter Sanders' office. After the secretary informed him, he waited for a moment before he was able to enter.

Just as the Secretary opened the door, Simon vaguely saw Peter Sanders on the phone. When he went in, the other party had put down the phone, got up, shook hands with him across the desk, and sat down again.

After saying hello, Simon put the code box with a copy of Lola Run at his feet and sat down opposite Peter Sanders.

”Simon, we're going to leave work soon, so let's get to the point,” Peter Sanders said after Simon sat down. ”It's very rare for a young man like you to make a film like” Lola Run. ”. However, the theme of the film is too cold. The three-stage structure and the setting of video games are novel, but the audience is certainly very small. The probability of cinema distribution is not high, most likely directly to the video market. ”

Business is about business.

Although Peter Sanders didn't like ”Lola Run,” Simon just listened quietly, patiently waiting for the other side to offer.

As he spoke, Peter Sanders looked at the young man in front of him. He saw that he was listening to the teacher, but his expression didn't change much. He stopped doing useless work and said, ”I've just talked to Mr. Goldberg on the phone, because Brian and the three of them are famous. Besides, this film can really help promote the concept of” Butterfly Effect ” So fox is willing to buy it for 800000 dollars. What do you think? ”

Hearing the offer of $800000, Simon didn't feel much. Instead, he seriously asked, ”Mr. Sanders, is $800000 the full copyright?”

Peter Sanders nodded: ”of course, for $800000, fox bought out all the copyright of” Lola Run ”for 20 years. In 20 years, the film rights will come back to you. ”

There are few permanent copyright deals in Hollywood, but the decades long contract period is enough for film companies to squeeze every profit out of a work.

Simon finally shook his head and said, ”it won't work, Mr. Sanders. The price is too low.”
