After taking leave, Simon changed his clothes and came out of the locker room with a bag on his back.

Courteney was chatting with Jonathan with a shopping bag in her hand when she saw Simon approaching, took a step forward with a smile, but then stopped again, greeted Simon shyly, and followed the two men out of the grid. Finn supermarket.

Jonathan Friedman's black Mercedes-Benz sedan is parked on the side of the street. The two got into the car and nodded to the girl on the curb on the street. Jonathan started the car and took Simon to the east.

Smiling and watching Jonathan's Mercedes turn a corner and disappear, Courteney put away her expression in disappointment, and felt some regret for rejecting Simon's words that night.

If he hadn't said anything, perhaps, he might have just invited himself to leave with Jonathan.

In the moving car, Jonathan glanced at the girl who was still standing on the side of the road in the rearview mirror when turning, and asked Simon with a smile, "Have a good opinion of Curt?"

"No," Simon shook his head and explained, "Just an ordinary friend."

Jonathan smiled unabated and said, "Actually, if you like Curt, I can make her the heroine of your movie, so you have a chance to chase her."

Simon thought for a while and said, "Kurt is indeed quite suitable to be the heroine, but we are really just ordinary friends."

Jonathan nodded, and then added: "Kurt is really not suitable for you."

"So," Simon didn't continue the topic, looked at the agent and asked, "Is there a result?"

"Well," Jonathan raised his chin and said, "There is a nice cafe in front."

The Mercedes-Benz car continued for a distance, and Jonathan Friedman stopped the car and took Simon into a cafe on the side of the road.

The two sat down by the window facing the street and waited for the waiter to serve the coffee before Jonathan briefly explained Fox's new offer for Simon's script, and finally asked, "So, Simon, do you think it's okay?"

The basic salary is doubled, and the sharing clause is retained. Although an option contract for a script has been added, Simon also knows that this contract is quite generous for a newcomer.

However, after nodding, Simon still asked: "Joe, what about the specific packaging plan, I think it is even more impossible for wma to give up this project now?"

Jonathan was not at all surprised that Simon could say the latter sentence, and he did not hide it, saying: "Brian will be a part-time producer while serving as a director. In addition, Matthew has also withdrawn from this project, and the company has put me in charge of restarting the project. Pick the main characters."

Looking at the smile in Jonathan's eyes after saying this, Simon also understood why the agent just said that Courteney could be the heroine.

Simon did not follow Jonathan's hint and asked again: "When will I be able to sign?"

"The official packaging plan will be announced in the next few days, and the specific contract may not be until next week," Jonathan replied: "However, Simon, you can go back and resign now. If you are short of money, I can lend you some first. ."

Simon shook his head and smiled: "It's not necessary."

When he first accepted the offer, Simon made an agreement with Roger Griffin that if he wanted to resign, he would need to notify him a few days in advance so that the other party could recruit again.

Although the middle-aged fat man is very stingy, everyone gets along pretty well during this time. What's more, Simon will use Roger's shop for the next filming of "Lola Run", so it is not suitable for him to just walk away suddenly.

Jonathan didn't know what Simon was thinking, but he didn't persuade him any more, and instead said: "One more thing, Simon, about wga, do you want to join the union?"

Simon looked puzzled, wondering why Jonathan brought this up suddenly.

Seeing Simon's puzzled expression, Jonathan took the initiative to explain: "Joining wga, your next contract can be based on the union's "Basic Agreement", which will better protect your personal rights. So, if you want, I will do it as soon as possible. Do it for you, probably before I sign with Fox next week."

To join the Screenwriters Guild of America (wga) requires a threshold. Applicants need to accumulate enough points through various film and television works within three years before applying to be eligible to join.

Of course, Simon has no doubts that Jonathan has the ability to make an exception for the WGA.

If Simon just wants to be a screenwriter very simply, joining wga is indeed a good choice.

However, Simon's ambition is to become the top class in the Hollywood pyramid.

Join wga now and he will likely be on his own in the future.

You know, the wga is one of the most frequent unions in Hollywood. Once the wga makes a decision to strike, all members must strictly abide by the strike regulations and may no longer work for the film and television production company. At that time, if Simon is both the owner of the film company and a member of the WGA, it will be lively, and it is impossible to quit his work by himself, right?

Shaking his head, Simon said to Jonathan: "Joe, no need. If I want to join any union, I will only choose PGA (American Producers Union)."

Hearing this, Jonathan smiled and said, "Okay, that's it."

The two talked about some things again, and after getting Simon's side, Jonathan Friedman hurriedly returned to the WMA headquarters.

This incident has made Jonathan Friedman realize a lot, since Lou Weiss will

The task of re-selecting the main characters of "The Butterfly Effect" was handed over to him, and Jonathan had no intention of sharing the project with others.

Jonathan gave all the roles that were suitable for his clients directly to himself. Even if he could not find a suitable person under his name, he chose clients under the name of a broker who had a good relationship with him.

After such a busy afternoon, Jonathan Friedman submitted the re-determined role list to Lou Weiss in the early evening.

Subsequently, a series of details were discussed with Fox again. On Wednesday, wma and Fox jointly held a press conference and announced the specific packaging project plan to the media.

Simon did not attend the conference.

In fact, only a few high-level executives from wma and Fox attended the project conference of "Butterfly Effect", and none of the film's related creators attended.

However, Simon soon learned about the new creator information of "Butterfly Effect".

In addition to him and Brian De Palma, Jonathan Friedman's male and female protagonists are all clients under his own name, namely Matt Dillon and Elizabeth Shue, and most of the other supporting roles are also in this way.

Simon was not familiar with Matt Dillon and Elizabeth Shue.

Or, for most people, both of them are actually the type that is often seen in Hollywood movies, but it is difficult for people to remember. However, now in 1986, both of them are only in their early twenties, but they are both potential Hollywood newcomers who have appeared in many films.
