Chapter 078 (1/2)
Simon said, and when Amy Pascal nodded slightly, he turned and walked away.
This party was hosted by Orion after Simon heard Ron Macmillan's message last time. All the people who helped complete ”Lola Run” together were invited, and Simon also devoted himself to the party.
The party lasted until late at night, and Simon ”saw” Lola Run ”for the first time, and I fell in love with it. All the details of the operation of the lens, the color, the music and the editing of the film give me a refreshing feeling. ”
”The movie can still be made like this.”
”However, when I heard that the film came from an 18-year-old boy, I immediately fell into some indescribable confusion, and then, as my colleague on the West Coast said in the article, I began to recall my own 18 years old, even the 18 years old of all the people around me.”
”I grew up in a fairly good family, with a fairly good education and a lot of smart people around me. But I finally found out that none of the people I knew had the potential to make such a great movie when I was 18. Yes, I'm talking about potential. Even if they have been trained in directing, photography, soundtrack, lighting and other aspects since childhood, I don't think anyone can complete an amazing film like ”Lola Run” when they are 18 years old. ”
”Now, someone has.”
”He personally wrote the script, personally acted as a director, personally carried the camera, personally completed the editing, personally finished the score And all of this is so wonderful that it's impeccable. ”
”Is it really possible?”
”So, as I watched the film over and over again, I began to pay close attention to everything about this young director named Simon westero. When the information in the newspapers was no longer enough to satisfy my strong curiosity, I even went to San Francisco myself and stayed there for a full week. ”
”Simon westero, maybe he prefers to be called that now.”
”This boy grew up in San Jose, San Francisco County, a children's home. He has no family and no foster family, which is really sympathetic. Later, Simon westroy completed his studies from primary school to high school with the support of federal welfare, and was accepted by Stanford University. I interviewed a lot of people around Simon westero, and they did say that this is a very hard-working boy. But at the same time, these people are also sure that they have never found any film talent in Simon westero, and many people don't even remember Simon westero seeing a film. ”
”Well, I can basically conclude that Simon westero's film talent will never come from adolescence.”
”Next, Simon westero goes to Stanford. But in less than two months, the poor young man was sent to a mental hospital for nine months because of a sudden mental illness. ”
”Obviously, two months at Stanford are not enough for Simon westero to accumulate any film skills.”
”Then, I also visited the mental hospital, and the attending physician in charge of Simon westero was very alert to my inquiry and didn't disclose too much to me. I even tried to get Simon westero's case, but I was told it had been lost. ”
