Simon drove to the restaurant near the Brentwood Country Club last time.

After waiting for a while, Catherine and Janet rushed over together.

Sitting down in the restaurant, Simon looked at Catherine, who was obviously in a low mood today, and asked tentatively, "What happened to the filming of "Blood Corpse Night"?"

Before Katherine spoke, Janet said, "I'm afraid it will be delayed until the next year."

Simon has also seen some news about the "Blood Dead Night" production company De Laurentiis Entertainment Group recently, and he said with concern: "How can this happen?"

The waiter in the restaurant came over at this time, and the three of them paused their conversation.

After ordering dinner, Catherine said: "Producer Edward Feldman called me this afternoon, De Laurentiis Entertainment has run out of money, and must wait until the end of the year to recover the share of several films released this year. My film can only start shooting."

Hearing Catherine say this, Simon was also a little silent.

There are many cases in Hollywood where a movie is delayed for months or even years due to funding, creators, etc., and it is not surprising that Katherine's experience is really surprising.

After a while, Simon said: "So, Catherine, have you been unemployed again during this time?"

Catherine nodded absently and said, "Yes."

Simon said: "Since this is the case, why don't you help me?"

Catherine raised her head uncertainly: "Huh?"

Simon said: ""Lola Run," the film will start shooting next month."

"But, I'll probably still..."

Catherine raised her hand and gestured, but couldn't find a good excuse for a while, so she turned to Janet beside her.

Janet's eyes started blinking when she heard what Simon had just said.

Simon also looked over, Janet's eyelashes are very long, she doesn't need false eyelashes at all, she looks very beautiful when they flash: "Jenny, do you want to order another foie gras, people who blink a lot should be deficient in vitamin D, and animal liver is just right rich in these."

Listening to Simon's ridicule, Janet suddenly stopped blinking and grabbed the dinner fork with a bitter expression and poked at Simon.

Catherine smiled and watched the two interact, and said, "I think, forget it."

"Why forget it?" Janet opened her mouth again suddenly, stretched out her hand to take Catherine's arm, and said, "Kate, let's all go. I'm a big investor. When necessary, maybe I can put The director fired and let you come."

Simon listened to Janet's gnashing tone, clasped his hands in fear, buried his head and begged for mercy: "Jenny, I was wrong, why don't you order two foie gras for you?"

Janet threw a stack of napkins over, smashed it on Simon's head, and said, "Little bastard, hit you."

After laughing like this for a while, under Janet's push together, Catherine finally agreed and agreed to serve as Simon's assistant director. The final agreed 'remuneration' is that Simon will also help the crew of "Blood Corpse Night" for a period of time.

Janet had no interest in the production of "Lola Run". Simon also suggested that a woman should be the producer together. It was not the nominal one. Janet, who was lazy, just went to help Simon in the casino scene. The work of painting a butterfly-themed mural, which is one of three 'butterfly effect' hints in the film.

With Katherine joining in, Janet cheered up and got involved.

Then.

Early the next morning, Janet came to work in high spirits.

The time is eight in the morning.

Although Simon was used to getting up early, he had just had breakfast at this time.

Hearing the doorbell, Simon ran to open the door, so he saw Janet dressed as OL.

Seeing Simon's eyes swept to other places again, a pair of cool little hands stretched out directly, holding Simon's face to prevent him from turning away, and then Janet's aggressive voice: "I'm really angry when you look like this again. Well, the consequences are very serious."

Simon nodded stiffly under the woman's "claw", and Janet let go of his head.

Walking into the villa behind Simon, Janet couldn't wait to ask, "Little boy, what are we doing today?"

Simon came to the kitchen, picked up the cutlery just now, came to the sink, and said succinctly, "Rest."

Janet came over and said dissatisfiedly: "How can this be possible, as an ambitious person, you are so unmotivated."

Simon did not explain.

Although there is still more than a week before the start of filming, Simon will not have any free time from next Monday until the end of the film, and this weekend will be the only chance to rest in the next few months.

After washing the dishes, Simon left the kitchen and turned to the bedroom.

Blocking Janet, who was eager to follow up, from the door, Simon changed his clothes, came out again, and said to the woman, "Let's go."

"what are you doing?"

"shop."

Janet suddenly became interested, and she didn't mention the words to make Simon motivated again. She reached out and took his arm and said, "Are you going to buy clothes? I just happen to be able to help you. Speaking of which, your level of picking clothes is really bad. Yes. But hee hee, little boys look good in anything."

"Jenny, can you change your name?"

"little bastard?"

"Forget it, when I didn't say it."

"Ha ha."

The two came out of the villa, Simon pointed to the Chevrolet SUV parked in the open space, Janet turned to the co-pilot, and touched the hood of the SUV very intimately, and said hello: "Hi, big guy ."

Simon opened the door, heard Janet's words, and stared helplessly at the woman on the other side.

So provocative.

After leaving the residence, Simon drove Janet for a whole morning, but basically did not leave Santa Monica, but kept changing one bookstore after another.

After lunch in the city, back to the Montana area.

At the long table under the trellis in the backyard garden, Janet looked at the dozens of film books such as "Director's Fundamentals", "Cinematic Lens Design", "Editing Skills" and so on, with a suspicious expression on Simon's face. After looking at the book several times, he asked, "Little boy, don't you want to tell me that the movie is about to start shooting, and you just remembered to learn some of these things?"

Simon casually picked up a book and leaned comfortably on a reclining chair next to him, enjoying the afternoon sun shining from the vine branches and leaves above his head, nodded and said, "Yeah, how about making a movie."

This is actually a small problem that Simon has recently realized.

Simon intends to do a lot of the work in "Lola Run" by himself. In this case, he will never be able to tell others that his filmmaking skills have fallen from the sky.

Now, with this trove of books, it's time to give those who are curious a barely-there excuse.

Self taught.

More inspirational.

Janet is one of those women who are very pampered and, to put it bluntly, lazy. On weekdays, a small head can turn half a circle and never turn a circle, but in fact, it is extremely smart, which can be seen from the few words Catherine and Simon said at the beginning.

Therefore, continuing to glance between Simon and the book, she faintly realized something.

Then I can't be bothered to think about it anymore.

Seeing Simon leaning against the reclining chair comfortably, he leaned over like a cat, squeezed and rubbed each other, and found that Simon didn't mean to squeeze a reclining chair with himself at all, and ran out angrily.

In less than half an hour, another set of reclining chairs was delivered by the furniture store.

After a wonderful weekend, the filming date of "Lola Run" is getting closer and closer.

At this point, the film crew has been fully assembled.

Simon Westeros: Director, Producer; Brian De Palma: Executive Producer; Ron MacMillan: Producer; Janet Johnston: Producer; Katherine · Bigelow: assistant director; Linda Vargas, casting director.

Sandra Bullock: female lead; Keanu Reeves: male lead.

In addition to the main creator, after more than a month of busywork, the film's series of supporting roles and behind-the-scenes staff have also been basically finalized.

So, September 30, a new Monday.

Although filming has not yet officially started, Simon's work schedule has suddenly become tense.

In a week, Simon needs to determine too many things.

The main actor's makeup.

Communicate with the determined animation studio about the production of the film insert animation.

Coordinate script reading sessions for actors.

Formal submission of a series of street shooting applications to the City of Santa Monica.

Rental of shooting props.

Get to know the staff behind the scenes.

Etc., etc.

Being so busy, Simon's daily rest time was compressed into six hours.

Until the weekend, when other staff began to rest, Simon was still arranging the scenery of Lola's room himself.

More and more I felt Simon's professionalism and dedication, and several main creators of the crew gradually developed a sense of identity with "Lola Run".

So, when Simon was busy setting up Lola's room in an apartment building in the northwest corner of Montana over the weekend, Katherine, Janet, and Sandra all rushed over, along with producer Ron McMillan. When he came over, he also claimed that he was too free on weekends, and was just here to help, and he didn't need to pay him overtime.

To Simon's surprise, the actor Keanu Reeves also rushed over. During these days of getting along, Simon also realized that Keanu Reeves was still interested in his movie because of the five leg bones that Simon broke.

Although it has been two months since the incident, the leg bones of the five youths still haven't recovered.

Obviously in order to avoid too many people's attention, when Simon was still hospitalized at the ucla Medical Center, five people hurriedly went through the transfer procedures, and it was said that they were transferred to San Diego in southern California.

However, this deliberate cover-up made more people interested in the events of that day. At the press conference for Fox's "Project X" starring Matthew Broderick, a reporter also boldly asked Matthew Broderick what he thought of that day's events, and the scene was awkward at one point.

Simon has completely ignored this matter.

After another weekend.

On Monday, October 7, the filming of The Butterfly Effect was officially announced at Fox Studios.

Simon also deliberately participated in the opening ceremony of the film that day.

Immediately afterwards, on Tuesday, October 8, "Lola Run" also began filming in an unknown location in an apartment facing the sea northwest of Montana District, Santa Monica.
