Chapter 060 (1/2)

Peter Sanders nodded, but said cautiously: ”at least, Simon westero's driver's license says he's 18. Ronald, if necessary, I can look into it

Ronald Goldberg stopped talking and leaned on the sofa to think.

As the president of a big Hollywood film company, with years of experience in film publicity, Ronald Goldberg naturally knows what kind of attention an 18-year-old director's work will bring if he logs into the cinema.

A few years ago, Stephen Paul, a child star turned Hollywood actor, directed his first film ”falling in love again” when he was 20 years old. Although the quality of the film was appalling and only got more than 100000 dollars at the box office after entering the cinema, it still attracted the attention of many heavyweight media, including the New York Times.

Now, Simon westero is just 18 years old, and this kind of stunt is even heavier than 20 years old. Although it's only two years behind, in most people's minds, 18 is just a teenager, but 20 is already an adult.

More importantly, judging from the media reviews of variety and Hollywood Reporter, the quality of ”Lola Run” is far better than that of Stephen Paul's work.

If we win this film, plus Simon westero's ”Butterfly Effect”, the two works work together to develop a complete publicity plan, we can definitely achieve unexpected results.

When his thoughts came here, Ronald Goldberg suddenly thought of another thing: ”Peter, if I remember correctly, Simon westero and we signed a contract, there are still two scripts of priority, right?”

Under the option contract, Simon westero's plays must be given priority to Fox pictures. Only when fox film gives up, can it negotiate with other film companies.

Most of the later work of ”Lola Run” is done in fox, even Ronald Goldberg has heard of it. However, we didn't pay much attention to the experimental film created by a young man, so no one has ever raised any objection to it.

However, once a lot of things come true, it will certainly be different.

Peter Sanders, Ronald Goldberg said, nodding knowingly, then shaking his head at once, saying, ”Ronald, I've had that contract reviewed, and there's an exception. Simon westero's films are not subject to option contracts. So, he's not a default. ”

Peter Sanders is in charge of administrative work such as drafting the contract for the butterfly effect. Ronald Goldberg looked at him discontentedly and said, ”how can you agree to such a clause?”

Peter Sanders explained helplessly: ”the butterfly effect is Mr. Murdoch's own green light. Ronald, you also know the situation at that time. We must finish the project as soon as possible. Moreover, no one at that time thought that Simon westero, a new and unknown man, could make any decent film. ”

Ronald Goldberg waved his hand, not intending to hear Peter Sanders shake the pot, and said, ”well, let Simon westero send the copy. The day after tomorrow, I happen to have time in the morning. I'll see the film first, and then talk about other things. ”

Regardless of the film reviews, Ronald Goldberg is more willing to believe in his own judgment.

Peter Sanders nodded. Seeing that Ronald Goldberg wanted to see off the guests, he hesitated a little and said, ”there's another thing about Sundance. This judge David Anson happens to be my friend. He called him a few days ago.”

Ronald Goldberg knows the character of Peter Sanders very well. He is not a big man, so he doesn't think he will help Simon westrow lobby for the awards.

Glancing at the reviews on the tea table, Ronald Goldberg shook his head and said, ”in the current situation, do you think Sundance will let” Lola Run ”go home empty handed? Tell your friend there's no need to do these little moves. Simon westero's fame will also be good for the butterfly effect. ”

……

After a long morning of phone calls, Simon made a temporary trip back to Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon when he learned that Ronald Goldberg wanted to see the film ”Lola Run” in person.

On Wednesday morning, Ronald Goldberg watched the finished film without giving too many comments. He just doubled Peter Sanders' price to $2 million.

This is still obviously not what Simon is willing to accept.

So he simply refused some other offers. Simon flew back to Utah in the afternoon and made up his mind to wait for Sundance to finish before considering the issue.

On the other hand, with the media's praise of ”Lola Run” at the beginning of this week, the film's attention has gradually increased.
