Chapter 074 (1/2)

Simon took less than five hours off and got up early at eight the next day.

In order to save time, he doesn't plan to drive back in person this time. The crew will hire a surrogate driver to send the SUV back to Los Angeles. Simply having breakfast and saying goodbye, Edward Feldman, the producer of blood dead night, drove him to Phoenix Airport.

Due to the time difference, when we arrived in Los Angeles, it was only nine o'clock in the morning.

Los Angeles International Airport.

Simon got off the plane and went all the way to the reception hall, looking around.

I called Janet to pick me up last night, but it was Owen Wright, Jonathan's assistant. Irving Wright soon found Simon, too. He hurried over and gave him a pair of sunglasses, saying, ”Simon, you'd better wear these.”

There were not many people in the reception hall during this period of time. Before Owen Wright continued to remind him, Simon had already seen seven or eight guys with cameras running towards this side. Some people even couldn't wait to hold up their cameras and press the shutter, and a series of flashing lights suddenly lit up around them.

With the movement of this side, many double eyes in the hall are projected at the same time.

Although it was the first time in his two lives that Simon met this situation, he was not flustered. He put on his sunglasses, picked up the suitcase that had been pulled behind him, and hurried out of the hall with Owen Wright.

The paparazzi saw Simon and Owen speeding up to leave and trotted to catch up with them again. They surrounded them tightly in front, back, left and right. They continued to take pictures and asked questions at the same time.

”Simon, can you stop and say something?” ”Simon,” Lola Run, ”won last weekend's box office title. Let's talk about it.” ”Simon, I heard that you are looking for a partner for your new play, offering 10% of the North American box office share. Do you think that's possible?” ”Simon...”

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

In the confusion of questions, Simon just bowed his head in silence, pushed the gap between the paparazzi and moved out slowly with Owen Wright, and did not dare to exert too much force. When he was in Arizona, he heard that Stallone had been ”touched” by the paparazzi, but he didn't want to encounter such a mess when he just returned to Los Angeles.

They got into the parking lot with some difficulty. Simon was a little relieved when they drove into the highway around the airport. However, he soon found that all the paparazzi were following Owen Wright's car.

Owen in the front driver's seat looked up in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, ”Simon, how does it feel to be famous?”

Simon said honestly, ”a little bit of a hit.”

”Oh, you'll get used to it in the future. There are few people like this. When you come back suddenly, it should be the reporter from Arizona who contacted you temporarily.” Owen stepped on the gas and sped up some speed, then continued: ”Miss Johnston originally intended to pick you up, but when she went out, she found that the door was surrounded, so she had to call Joe, and then I'm coming. ”

Simon smell speech, immediately concern a way: ”how to return a responsibility?”

Simon, who Owen leaned over to the back, made a slightly calm gesture and said, ”didn't you tell the reporter last night that you had a girlfriend?”

Simon was surprised and said, ”I didn't say Jennie's name. Besides, how did you know so soon?”

”There are thousands of newspapers in the whole Federation. How can they sell if they are not fast? But don't worry, those paparazzi are basically in line with the rules. As long as Miss Johnston doesn't go out, there won't be any problem. In a few days, the news about it will be almost fired, and the paparazzi in front of her house will be scattered, ”Owen explained, and then asked,” Simon, where are you going now? I suggest you don't go to miss Johnston. That will only bring more paparazzi

Simon thought, since Jennie is blocked at home, there must be someone outside her villa in Montana.

After thinking about it for a moment, Simon made a decision and said, ”go to wma headquarters. It happens that I have something to talk about with Joe.”

Owen nodded: ”Joe really wants to talk to you as soon as possible. You left this month, especially in the last two weeks, seeking cooperation, asking for interviews, asking for information, all kinds of people, they can't find you, they can only contact us, Joe is going to be driven crazy, even I have to block dozens of calls about you every day. ”

Although he had obviously felt the changes around him in Arizona, Simon listened to Owen and said with a smile, ”it's not that exaggerated, is it?”

Owen looked at Simon again in the rearview mirror and then said, ”obviously, you don't know where you are. Simon, ”Lola Run” is very promising to win the North American box office this year. Think about Tom Cruise after last year's box office hit. Now, you too. ”

Simon noticed that a paparazzi on a motorcycle outside the car window was very difficult to operate the camera with one hand. He took pictures of the car window in vain, nodded, stopped talking, and started thinking about the next things.

More than 20 minutes later, Owen parked his car in the parking lot in front of the wma headquarters. Before the paparazzi gathered around again, they rushed into the wma headquarters building.Just at the busy time of work, the wma headquarters building is full of people.

When Irving Wright came in with a young man, most of them were puzzled at first. As some people who recognized Simon eagerly took the initiative to say hello, everyone soon realized Simon's identity, so they either nodded or took the initiative to talk.

Outside Jonathan Friedman's office, the agent has come out.

”Simon, you're back at last.”

After greeting, Jonathan hugged Simon and patted him on the shoulder. Then he walked into his office with the envious eyes of other wma employees and customers around him.

Entering the office, Jonathan motioned Simon to sit down on the sofa in the reception area, but he turned to his desk and took out a thick stack of files from the filing cabinet.

Simon watched the agent busy, but did not go to the reception area. He came to his desk, pointed to the landline on the desk and said, ”Joe, I want to call Jennie first.”

”Of course,” Jonathan nodded understandably, put the folder on his desk, pressed it, and said, ”you call first. I'm just going out. I just said in the mail room that I need to sign a document myself.”

Simon smiles as the agent leaves the office, picks up the phone and dials Janet's number.
