Chapter 062 (1/2)

As the most influential newspaper on the west coast of the United States, the Los Angeles Times is only a non Sunday edition, and its news and information pages are usually more than 50 pages. Compared with the film review of ”Lola Run”, which was hidden in a small corner and hard to be noticed by readers before, Peter Butler's article about Simon directly landed on the front page of the newspaper.

Although it's still not front page news, this part of navigation information is recommended by most subscribers.

In this era, newspapers can be said to be the most important channel for ordinary people to obtain information, and powerful paper media such as the Los Angeles Times have played a role in guiding public opinion.

What's more.

Young people rushing out of mental hospitals.

Crazy?

A unique surname.

One script makes 200000 dollars.

At the age of 18, he made a highly acclaimed independent film.

Gifted youth.

Peter Butler lists Simon's personal labels in his article, which is a perfect embodiment of the American dream for Americans who advocate miracle, adventure and personal heroism.

As a result, with this article in the Los Angeles Times, Simon's attention, which has been accumulating piecemeal in some media since he signed the ”Butterfly Effect” screenwriting contract with Fox pictures last year, has completely exploded.

As if all of a sudden, a lot of people began to talk about who Simon westero is?

Then.

Since Simon came to the fore last year, a series of news has been rediscovered by the omnipresent media, and every detail involved in Peter Butler's article has become the object of some media discussion.

Even a local Los Angeles tabloid reported on the front page about Simon's late night attack in Santa Monica last year.

Although it was noted that this was a real case confirmed by the Santa Monica police department, the tabloid completely adopted a kind of surprising tone of joking. As I saw with my own eyes, Simon bravely smashed five gangsters' right legs and knocked off seven gangsters' teeth with one elbow. It was Bruce Lee's rebirth.

Then, due to his proximity, the San Francisco Chronicle, which is also influential in San Francisco, also published a biography of Simon, making up all his experiences before the age of 18.

I grew up in a welfare home for children in San Jose.

The original surname.

Community public high school for many years the only one admitted to Stanford students.

Within two months of entering Stanford, he suffered from schizophrenia.

The San Francisco Chronicle described Simon's growing up experience in a very sympathetic tone, and questioned the child welfare home in San Jose based on Simon's self-reliance since he was 13 years old. It also speculated that Simon's mental illness was probably due to the strong pressure caused by years of hard life.

As for why such a young man from the bottom could suddenly make a highly praised independent film, the San Francisco Chronicle failed to find the root. However, the newspaper also did not show too surprised, but quoted a sentence from Simon middle school teacher interviewed by the newspaper: Simon is a very hard-working child, I will not be surprised that he has created any miracle.

This view is almost the same as that in Peter Butler's article, and unconsciously creates a realistic basis for Simon's sudden becoming a film genius.

Of course, in the noise, there is no lack of doubt.

After the Los Angeles Times article about Simon was published, many people called the editorial department of the newspaper. They were surprised by Peter Butler's praise of a young man. They even thought that the Los Angeles Times was trying to impress others.

The host of a late night talk show on a local TV station made a blunt and acrimonious mockery of the gossip tabloid about Simon's one on five.

With the continuous accumulation of public opinion, the final attention of the public has been gradually shifted to one thing, Simon's film, ”Lola Run.”.

Since you speak that boy so well, why don't you show us the movie?

As a result, as Simon's most direct partner with Hollywood, many phone calls also went to fox to inquire about the release date of ”Lola Run”. Many newspapers in a state of watching and not joining the discussion either sincerely or jokingly urged Hollywood film companies to push ”Lola Run” to the cinema as soon as possible.
