Chapter 059 (1/2)

Simon heard the query from the female reporter of variety show, but he just nodded: ”yes, the truth is very simple. If I didn't do these jobs myself, but I wrote down my name, there would be a lot of people looking for me in the future.”

Hearing Simon say so, many audiences who had been holding similar questions were suddenly surprised.

There are shooters in any circle, and Hollywood is no exception.

However, in terms of the quality of ”Lola Run”, there is a very slim chance that a dozen Hollywood filmmakers who are definitely excellent will be Gunners for a young man at the same time.

What's more, although most people don't know Simon's background, no matter what his identity is, there is no need for him to do so. It involves professional film making skills, so it's too easy to be debunked.

It's just that.

If a lot of the behind the scenes work of ”Lola Run” is done by the young people on stage, it's just incredible.

”Variety” female reporter obviously is this kind of mood, heard Simon's reply, immediately asked: ”so, how do you do it?”

Simon, with a smile on his face, said, ”Miss Trevor, your question is hard to answer. However, I have been busy with this film for six months since I started writing the script. During this period, I have experienced many twists and turns, and met many people who are willing to help me, such as Bob, Jenny, Catherine, director Brian De Palma, Mr. David giller, my agent Jonathan, and so on. In retrospect, I am very lucky, because many film makers with dreams are hard to get such opportunities. Here, I want to thank all of them again. At the same time, I also hope I can have the opportunity to help some people in the future. ”

Although she couldn't get a satisfactory answer, Jane Trevor nodded her head seriously and sat down again.

Then, at the sign of Robert Redford, many people raised their hands again.

There are not many media reporters who can come to park city. Robert basically knows all of them and is not in a hurry. This time, he ordered a young boy sitting in the back row.

The boy couldn't wait for the microphone to come and said, ”Simon, your movie is so cool. I really hope I can make it one day. So, I want to know, how did you learn this, or which film academy did you go to? ”

Simon shook his head and said with a smile, ”I haven't been to film school. As for film skills, it should be self-taught. However, my personal situation is somewhat different from yours. So, if you want to be a director, I suggest you enter a professional film academy. ”

There are many well-known self-taught directors in Hollywood, including Robert Redford who is sitting on the stage at this time.

However, hearing Simon's reply, many people in the screening hall were still surprised.

Although Simon's specific age is not clear, he is very young at first sight. If he studied systematically in the film and television major at the top film academy and mastered a series of skills, it's natural for him to produce ”Lola Run”.

But only by self-study, people who have tried this kind of thing know how many difficulties they will encounter and how many detours they will take, so it's incredible to be able to achieve the present level.

Everyone was surprised, but Janet, who had been sitting quietly next to Simon, blinked. She suddenly remembered the pile of film books Simon had bought a few months ago.

Little bastard, it must be bullshit.

However.

It's really strange.

The boy sat down, and Robert Redford relinquished the right to ask questions to a media reporter.

The following Q & a session lasted until 12 o'clock at noon before the Sundance Premiere of ”Lola Run” was announced.

Simon doesn't have to show the film for the rest of the festival. In fact, many filmmakers will basically leave Park City after the weekend premiere. Until the closing ceremony of the film festival, if you receive the award news, you will send representatives again.

On Sunday afternoon, Simon re communicated with Peter Butler about his interview. In the evening, they put Jennifer Leibold and Lisa Collins on the plane to New Haven, Connecticut, where Yale University is located.

Simon, however, had no leisure at all.

As soon as the premiere of ”Lola Run” was over, he was surrounded by several independent film distributors who came to Sundance to try to pick up the leak, trying to get in touch with each other.

A fat man even offered a buyout price of $2 million, which was more generous than fox, but he only wanted to pay a deposit of $200000, and the rest needed to be settled after the film was released.

Simon laughed and scolded Harvey in his heart, you big liar, and then ignored him.

On Monday, as soon as he got up in the morning, Simon got a call from Katherine from Los Angeles. Then Robert Redford called and asked him to go to the Sundance Institute.Simon drove to the city, brought back a thick stack of newspapers from the Sundance Institute with the film review of ”Lola Run” and bought breakfast by the way.

Back at the Resort Apartment, it's more than 9 a.m.

Park City weather is still cold, no outsiders, Janet began to show her true colors, like a little lazy cat in bed refused to get up. Seeing the newspaper Simon brought back, he gave birth to some spirit. Ah ah, he asked Simon to bring the newspaper and read it with interest.

”Variety, um, the unknown Sundance suddenly appeared an amazing anti type masterpiece,” Lola Run. ”. This film, written and directed by new director Simon westero, vividly shows the meaning of ”Butterfly Effect” to the audience through a very interesting three-stage film mode. At the same time, the film on the existence of countless possibilities of life is also memorable. Balabala, I'll change another one. ”

After reading a few sentences, Janet scanned them at a glance, and then couldn't wait to pick up another newspaper: ”well, the Hollywood Reporter seems to be very powerful, too. What surprised me most is Simon westero's skillful use of a series of film techniques. The whole film has reached a top level in lens, color, soundtrack, editing and so on. It's not like a low-cost film with a production budget of less than 1 million US dollars. It's said that Simon westero has done a lot of the work himself. I seem to have seen it Another rising Hollywood genius. It's well written and reasonable. Let me see again. Eh, Peter has also written a film review. Didn't you agree with him to release it after the film festival? Oh, it's just a film review. ”

After reading Peter Butler's film reviews published in the Los Angeles Times, and flipping through the remaining newspapers, Janet threw them aside and excitedly leaned out of the bed with a thin white body: ”little boy, you're going to be famous. Come on, let your sister kiss you first.”

Simon pushed Janet back to bed and said, ”I don't kiss a lazy woman who doesn't even brush her teeth.”
