He said and looked at the man in front of him.

Simon shook his head: "I won't be participating in the Golden Globe Awards. I still have things to do here. I won't be leaving until next Monday. As for Kara, I still have to write my own record, but it doesn't matter how long you want to stay here."

"Oh, thank you so much."

"You're welcome," Simon said, looking at Cindy again: "By the way, do you want to stay overnight?"

Cindy hesitated a little: "How many people do you plan to keep?"

"If you want to stay, you can stay. After I leave, you can continue. This place has been empty for a long time. It's better to live here."

"Never mind."

Cindy refused. After all, she was engaged. It would be fine if something happened quietly with Simon Westeros. If there were too many eyes around, it would be inappropriate. After all, she wanted to save some face for her real fiancé. It cannot be passed on to everyone.

Simon didn't force it, raised his glass to the two women, and said, "Then be happier tonight."

Knowing that the man had to entertain a lot of guests, the two women didn't bother, so they left and turned to other places.

Chapter 1090 Follow

"Simon, I read the script of L.A. Confidential carefully. It was great. I also participated in an audition hosted by Mr. Palmer. Frankly speaking, the salary is not an issue to be able to participate in such a project, but I still hope that You can try the role of Bard."

"Brad, I'm glad you are willing to participate, but the conditions cannot be changed, only Ed."

"Mr. Parma has analyzed your concerns, Simon, you think that Bud and Superman may overlap in some aspects, but I don't think so. Bud is a violent and even cruel character in his bones. He is only because of childhood trauma. Only then will they appear a little jealous. In fact, at the end of the story, whether it is Bud or Ed, they all compromised with reality."

Inside the indoor bar of the hilltop villa.

Simon leaned against the bar, and when he heard Brad Pitt say this, he smiled and shook his head: "It seems that you have studied the script very thoroughly, but, Brad, it is precisely because of this that you are not suitable for Bard. The role, Superman has left a deep impression on the audience, and if you play Bard, it is easy for the audience to preconceive and lose accurate judgment on Bard, a complex character."

Simon said, seeing that Brad Pitt would continue, he interrupted: "Brad, this is my final decision. Moreover, Ed is actually more suitable for you to play, his character and transformation, in the story The internal context is very clear, and the final compromise and depravity can bring a sense of contrast to the audience, which is something you need very much. If you can shape it well, you are expected to get at least one Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor this time. OK, have a good time tonight."

Brad Pitt watched Simon walk to the dance floor with two supermodels, Quss Gauff and Fernanda Lima in his arms after finishing speaking, and even some other girls in the indoor bar gathered there, disappointed in his heart, and at the same time, he was disappointed by a certain It is hard not to envy a man's ability to attract women.

With Pete's current appearance and status, it's easy to pick up girls, but, in front of Westeros, there is a huge gap in the gap.

Gwyneth Paltrow, who is Pitt's official girlfriend at this time, also watched someone go to the dance floor, with complicated feelings. With her family's contacts in Hollywood, she had several opportunities to contact Simon Westeros before. Last year At her party, this indoor bar, she even sat next to a certain man.

It's a pity that the other party has never been interested in her.

I can't help but think of the "Shakespeare in Love" that I have been paying attention to since last year. Gwyneth Paltrow has developed generally in recent years. The role has already been decided on the British actress Kate Beckinsale who has just become famous with Charlie's Angels.

There is obviously someone's decision-making factor in it.

The more I think about it, the more mad I get.

Picking up the cocktail in front of her and taking a sip, Gwyneth Paltrow asked her boyfriend next to her when the music started, "Pete, so, are you going to play that role?"

Brad Pitt shrugged: "Of course."

"However, Ed is the third leading actor, almost a supporting role."

Brad Pitt can climb from a hotel doorman to the current coffee position step by step. Of course, he can't be a male vase. Hearing this, he said: "Then I have to act. You know, the script of Los Angeles Confidential was written by Simon himself." Leading, which probably means that the film will be the hit of next year's awards season, and you just heard, at least one Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor."

When Pete said this, Gwyneth, who was born in the second generation of Hollywood, also fully understood.

The competition in Hollywood has always been very fierce, and it has become even worse in recent years. Daenerys Entertainment's popular projects are the focus of the entire Hollywood competition. In comparison, my boyfriend is completely irreplaceable. Under such circumstances, if you encounter the best opportunity, you must grab it.

Otherwise, it will be snatched away by others.

If an actor similar to Pitt's style appears next year and wins an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for "LA Confidential", or even an award, Pitt will undoubtedly have an extra threatening competitor.

After Gwyneth Paltrow understood, she couldn't help but think of herself.

If it wasn't for Kate Beckinsale, if she wanted to get Shakespeare in Love, the chances would be very high because of her connections in Hollywood.

So he looked over to the dance floor.

Amidst the flickering lights and dynamic music, a man's figure is surrounded by a group of big goblins. During the dance, he even lifts up a certain girl, causing a burst of screams. This scene seems a bit weird at first glance, but then I realized it again. A certain person seems to be only 28 years old this year, but his boyfriend is already 33 years old.

With the wealth and power he has, this age is really too young.

Then it was self-pity.

How can I be inferior to those simple-minded vase models?

Those who were able to be invited to this party, except for some famous celebrities, other newcomers, getting the invitation letter is actually a signal from Daenerys Entertainment: We have noticed you.However, at the party, Simon talked less and less about serious business, mainly about playing.

The carnival of hundreds of people lasted until after midnight, before it gradually came to an end.Another practice that has gradually formed is that you can stay overnight.

Of course, only women.

It's a pity that the conditions are a bit erratic. Even if the guests who can receive the invitation letter have passed strict review in advance, it doesn't mean that you can stay if you want to.

However, this night, there were quite a lot of women staying at the hilltop villa.

The next morning, Simon woke up in some kind of pinch at the head of the bed, at the head of the bed, at the end of the bed, and there were even people on the carpet under the bed.

Moreover, at a glance, Quss Gauff, Fernanda Lima, Eva Herzigova, Daniela Posteva, Carla Bruni, Roberta Chirco, Anneliese Thurbert, Heidi Klum, Karen Mulder, Tricia Schiffer, Melania... The lower class would not be able to enter this bedroom at all.

It is conceivable that if this picture spreads out, it will definitely shock the world.

This is of course impossible.

The imagination of the general public is always limited in various ways. The key is because of the opacity of information, so that even if some rumors are true, they will be regarded as false, just like Howard Hughes back then, who was counted by magazines with 164 Girlfriends include almost all the popular actresses of that era.

It's just that, lacking some of the most direct evidence, the public just listens, and usually it's hard to feel too much.

Getting rid of the entanglement of limbs around him, Simon almost stepped on Heidi Klum and Karen Mulder who were huddled together on the carpet when he got out of bed. A secondary bedroom begins to wash.

I didn't plan to do morning exercises today, so I sat downstairs in the restaurant, and the time was only 07:30 in the morning.

When Carmen Kath, who followed Simon to Sundance for the first time, brought coffee to her boss, she had a weird expression on her face. Last night, she knew how many women entered her boss' room.

Simon took a sip of the warm coffee that Carmen had just poured, glanced at the girl, and said with a smile, "Even if you look at me like God again, you won't be given a salary increase."

When Carmen Kess heard the words, she made a small mouth silently. Realizing that she had crossed the line, she quickly argued, "Boss, I didn't."

"Then it's even more impossible to raise wages."

"..."

"Actually, I'm really not God, that's all."

As Simon said, he picked up a piece from the plate of cookies that Carmen gave at the same time, took a small bite, put it down, picked another piece, took another bite, put it down, and picked again... until the female assistant beside him blushed, Simon Then let her go: "Okay, where is my newspaper, and some documents that need to be read today, please send them here quickly."

This morning is the premiere of "Follow". As for Daenerys Entertainment's other film shortlisted this year, "Two Smoking Barrels", the premiere is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and Simon will not be able to attend then.

In fact, the chances of the two films winning the award are not high.

The problem is obvious.

Both films focus too much on narrative skills. For film newcomers, using some non-linear narrative modes in the absence of resources is a method that can easily attract the attention of the industry, but if you keep playing like this, there must be some Out of season.

This is actually the main reason why Nolan has not been favored by Oscars.

Screenings start at 10:[-] am.

Simon had breakfast, left the hilltop villa, and first met Robert Redford and others to discuss some film festival matters. Before 10 o'clock, everyone rushed to the Egyptian Theater where the premiere of "Following" was held.

Compared with the first time I came to this small town, ten years later, although it is a cold morning, Sundance is already full of people, and there is an early queue outside the Egyptian Theater.

Simon did not disclose the news that he would participate in the premiere of "Following", which is still the case, which also shows the popularity of Sundance at this time.

In the 11-day film festival, in addition to the less than 40 films shortlisted for the main competition unit and various screening units, there are also hundreds of other films in this small city that organize their own reactions, or are newcomers and new works of independent filmmakers , or a film festival premiere by a Hollywood studio for publicity, or just an experimental work by a couple of film students, and so on.Due to the severe shortage of canvases, many filmmakers had to set up their own tents for screenings.

So many films have also attracted filmmakers from all over the world.

After all, if you can find a movie like "Run Lola Run" at Simon's back then, it's like reaching the sky in one step.

Of course, such a thing, strictly speaking, has not happened.

Because everyone is not stupid.

As the film festival attracts more and more attention, let alone a good finished film, even if it is an excellent script in the film festival trading market, there will be seven major Hollywood studios participating in the competition, and second- and third-rate small film producers will miss opportunities almost zero.

Simon and Robert arrived at the Egyptian Theater quietly. They didn't meet the main creators, and sat directly in the seats prepared in advance.

On the other hand, when the screening rescheduled the case, audiences were already aware that a certain young Hollywood mogul might be in attendance.

As expected.

As a result, there was unavoidable commotion in the screening hall. Some bold movie fans took the initiative to seek Simon's signature. They didn't give up until the Weijia security team came forward and the time came to 10 o'clock.

Immediately afterwards, film director Christopher Nolan and lead actor Jude Law of "Follow" came to the stage one after another. Because of the existence of a certain person, the mood was obviously different. However, before the screening, there was only a brief introduction, and the lights in the hall were quickly dimmed.

For this small film with a production cost of only 300 million US dollars, Simon did not see it in advance.

Although I have read the script of the filming version earlier, I still want to leave a little suspense for myself.

On the spot, it looks good.

With the assistance of Daenerys Entertainment, even though the cost is very low, the actors, including the leading actor Jude Law, actually took the initiative to cut their salaries to star in. First of all, the team can be described as solid, which is actually the key to many good movies.

Just like Quentin's Reservoir Dogs, without the participation of Harvey Keitel and other actors with excellent acting skills, it would be hard to say what the result would be.

"Following in the Original Time and Space" is just a black-and-white short film with a cost of 6000 million US dollars. Simon, a big butterfly, changed history, and basically got a brand new story based on the original idea.

on the big screen.

Bill, the actor played by Jude Law, is a writer. In order to capture creative inspiration, he often observes various passers-by on the street.

On this day, Bill was attracted by a mysterious man and followed him all the way, only to find out that this man named Cobb turned out to be a thief.Cobb discovered Bill's stalking, and the two had a brief friction, knowing that the other party was not malicious to him, but just a car looking for inspiration, so he suggested that Bill could vote with him.

The target is a woman's home.

Bill hesitated for a while, and agreed in a strange way, and then the story began to turn.

After a break-in and seeing a photo of the apartment's mistress, Bill fell in love at first sight and fell in love with her.

Ok.

If the audience is quite fond of literary films, and the number of readings is large enough, if you have seen a certain oriental film called "Sunny Day" just produced two years ago, you may be able to get the source of this idea.

However, the story of "Following" is of course more intricate.

After falling in love with the heroine, Bill began to indulge in it, and even broke into the other's house alone.

Immediately there was an accident.

When Bill woke up one day, he found that he had appeared in the home of a woman he loved. The key point was that he didn't remember what had happened, and beside him was the body of a woman he loved.

That's right.

The woman died.

This caused Bill to fall into great distress and panic. After some hesitation, Bill decided to cover up the matter and investigate the truth of the matter in private. Then, Cobb appeared again.

Chapter 1091 Bad Things

Overall, "Following" is largely a fusion of Nolan's first feature film "Memento" on the timeline. Both stories are about a man accidentally caught in a murder case looking for the truth.

This phenomenon is actually very common in the circle.

The first few films of many directors are often a collection of various ideas accumulated over the years, and certain film styles will continue from the beginning throughout their entire careers. The most typical one is Quentin. In fact, Nolan also No exception.

on the big screen.

Through the continuous pursuit of the hero Bill, the film began to appear various interludes and flashbacks, and the timeline gradually became distorted and chaotic. At the same time, Bill seemed to be getting closer and closer to the truth.

At the end of the story, it is also Nolan's style, and the answer to the mystery has not been fully revealed.

The surface of the story is that the gang boss instructs his subordinate Cobb to kill the mistress who hides his own evidence, and finds Bill as a scapegoat, but Bill kills him instead.

However, after combing through the seemingly simple results, you will find many contradictions in the details.

The key is Cobb.

And, why was Bill selected, was it intentional, but purely coincidental?Cobb was sent to do this dirty job, but he was not implicated in the ending, but the gang boss was killed by the protagonist. Why?In addition, whether the male protagonist has an actual intersection with the lost woman, or whether everything is imaginary, has also become a suspense.

It can be said that in this debut work, Nolan, through deliberately confusing interspersed editing, fully demonstrated the director's later praised "brain-burning" style, so that most audiences only watch it once, and it is difficult to deduce a complete story from it. But this is definitely not David Lynch's stream-of-consciousness style that has no beginning and no end. If you watch the movie repeatedly and carefully sort out various details, you will get a complete story with clear thinking and logic. .

Inside the lobby of the Egyptian Theater.

After the film was played, the main creators stepped onto the stage and began to talk about the various behind-the-scenes aspects of the film and interact with the audience. Simon did not participate, but wrote down his opinions on the release of "Follow" on the memo handed by the girl A in the audience.

After all, it is only a small film with a cost of 300 million US dollars, and there is nothing amazing at first glance, so "Follow" will not arrange a popular schedule. It is expected that Sundance will end. After some publicity, it will be available in February theaters.

For the release of this movie, since there are successful examples ahead, Simon didn't need to take any detours, and directly finalized two words: brain burning.

As long as it can arouse the curiosity of the audience, the movie will be more than half successful.

It was not until the interaction here ended and the premiere of "Follow" ended perfectly that Simon, Robert Redford and others moved their positions together.
