At this time, Simon said that he could chat with everyone for a while. Although it was clear that he was looking at himself and others so as not to interfere with the next camera, the reporters still put down the idea of ​​taking pictures, and took out the recordings one after another. A quick-witted reporter had asked aloud, "Simon, I heard you were only paid $500 a week for this movie. Is that true?"

Simon stood inside the isolation line, and said with a smile, "I'm just here to help, and the salary doesn't matter."

The reporter immediately added: "So, are you really pursuing Catherine Bigelow?"

Simon was not surprised to hear this question.

These days, more than one newspaper has speculated about the relationship between Simon and Catherine. Simon could only helplessly shake his head and said, "Of course not, I already have a girlfriend. As you know, Catherine is the star of "Lola As the assistant director of "Run", we agreed to help each other at the beginning, so I am here."

When Simon admitted that he already had a girlfriend, the reporters became even more excited.

Celebrity love affairs have always been the entertainment news that attracts the most attention from gossip lovers. Simon's reputation has surpassed many big stars now, and his age and appearance are destined to be of interest to many female readers.

So, this time almost everyone started to rush to ask.

"Simon, can you tell me who your girlfriend is?" "Simon, tell me about your girlfriend?" "Simon, is it Sandra Bullock?" "Simon..."

Simon felt a bunch of buzzing sounds in his ears, raised his hand to press it, and said, "Sorry, I don't know if she wants to be noticed by you. So, I can't say it for the time being."

Naturally, the reporters would not be reconciled, and continued to clamor and ask questions in different ways.

In fact, Simon has been feeling the movement behind him. Following Catherine's 'action', he raised his hand and made a pause gesture to everyone, then turned and looked into the studio.

Under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, there was a loud bang, and a huge orange-red flame rose from the extended oil tanker.

However, although the momentum was astonishing, Simon knew that this kind of explosion was actually very safe. Standing more than ten meters away from the oil tanker, Simon only felt a very gentle wave of air rushing towards him.

Seriously observing the several seats set up in advance, Simon confirmed that everyone was busy with their work in an orderly manner, and then he was relieved.

After about 10 minutes, Catherine finally made an OK gesture to Simon from a distance.

There will only be this set of shots tonight. Now that it has been successfully completed, Simon naturally no longer has to deal with the thoughts of the reporters behind him, and walks towards the set.

The reporters came back to their senses from the explosion just now, and found that Simon walked away, and shouted to stay. Some people wanted to catch up, but they were stopped by the prepared staff on the sidelines.

For the 10-minute shooting, the pre-production took three days, and the follow-up finishing took more than two hours.After finishing everything, the crew returned to the hotel after work. It was already two o'clock in the morning on March 3.

After saying goodnight to everyone and washing up, Catherine sat on the bed in the hotel room in her pajamas, feeling the tranquility around her, but she didn't feel sleepy for a while.

So he picked up his director's notes and leaned against the bedside to open them.

There is a line written on the title page: An Adventure of Kalebo, a Rebirth of May.

This is what he said.

"Blood Corpse Night" started filming in late January, and he didn't follow into the group at that time. She led the group alone and started shooting for the first two weeks.

Then, although she was very reluctant to admit it, she found that she was far less comfortable than him.Even though she had prepared very meticulously, she still felt confused when the movie actually started shooting.

In the first two weeks, when shooting, I always thought, what would he do if he came to shoot this scene?

Then I found that I couldn't imitate him at all.

He knows exactly what effect he wants, and he has enough confidence to directly issue orders to the staff.But she had to be very cautious about discussing most of the details with the rest of the crew.

Because she is far from him, proficient in photography, lighting, scenery, editing, and soundtrack...

Outside of movies, he also seems to know a lot.

The illegitimate child of the goddess of wisdom.

Although at the beginning it was a bit duplicity that it was okay if he didn't come to help, but after he joined the group, everything seemed to be going smoothly.

Sensing her confusion about the character creation and main line of the film, he helped her sum up the sentence on the title page of the notebook.

'An Adventure in Kalebo, a Rebirth in May'.

In his opinion, the core of both the story and the characters of "Blood Corpse Night" should be closely focused on these two points.Being awakened by him like this, she really gradually straightened out a lot of things.

When she was on the set of "Run Lola Run", she just helped him with some trivial logistical work.He is in the crew of "Blood Corpse Night", but he is like a patient teacher who personally holds the little hand of the child and helps him learn to draw bit by bit.

Whenever he encountered a problem, he would always say in a suggestive tone: "Maybe it can be like this..."

Very patient.

She has indeed benefited a lot from it during this time.

However, she was very aware of how strong a desire to control he was.Perhaps, he already had the idea of ​​driving this stupid woman out of the director's position countless times in his mind to do it himself.

.

I must have thought so.

Thinking so unreasonably, but realizing that he is leaving tomorrow.The crew will soon switch to normal daytime shooting, and there are still a lot of outdoor scenes. He continues to stay on the crew, surrounded by a large group of media reporters, and there is no way to continue shooting.

Ugh.

He sighed softly from the bottom of his heart.

With the success of "Run Lola Run", in any case, he is already a first-line director in Hollywood.With an expected North American box office of more than 1.5 million US dollars, no one will not recognize his ability and status if he can do this.

The down-and-out young man she met for the first time on the bus last year seemed to have left everyone far away in a blink of an eye, and she could only look up.

With these thoughts flashing in my mind, I suddenly wanted to go over and talk to him.

He lives next door to him.

But, even if, even if she had no other intentions at all, but thinking of those media reporters, she immediately dismissed the idea.

Although it was past three o'clock in the morning, no one could guarantee that those reporters who could do crazy things for the news would still stay outside.The hotel has a very open concave layout, with more than a dozen rooms directly facing the wide road, and anyone entering or exiting any of the rooms will be easily seen.

If it is discovered, it is completely unclear.

During this period of time, many media have already begun to spread gossip about her and Simon.Occasionally, I read a few articles, and I felt weird in my heart, and I was a little worried about Jenny's reaction, but I could only pretend that nothing happened in front of others.

So he sighed again.

After all, she is not as good as Jenny.

She grabbed the man she wanted lazily, but she was only timid.

Thinking of this, I suddenly had some small impulses.

So raise your hand.

He tapped lightly on the wooden wall.

dong dong dong.

The heart also accelerated with a pounding.

but.

Wait a moment.

The other side didn't respond.

I was a little disappointed, and I couldn't help but feel a little rebellious.

Raise your hand again.

dong dong dong.

A voice finally came from the next door, obviously smiling: "It's been a long night, I don't want to sleep, ma'am, do you need me to break through the wall?"

The weird tone of voice was like reading a poem, and the sentence was translated from nowhere, with ridicule, which made her face blush.Hearing he said that he wanted to break through the wall, his heart suddenly rose again, and he blurted out: "How dare you!"

"Then go to bed obediently. It's so late, I thought it was a rat trouble."

"You're the mouse."

"It has endured for so long without making a hole. It is obviously a very gentlemanly mouse."

"Pooh."

"Okay, don't make trouble, go to bed quickly."

So he lay down with some inexplicable satisfaction, pulled up the quilt, and turned off the desk lamp.Thinking of his voice like coaxing a little girl, he whispered softly: "."

Chapter 074 You Are Finally Back

Simon only rested for less than five hours, and got up early at eight o'clock the next day.

In order to save time, he does not plan to drive back himself this time, the crew will hire a driver to send the SUV back to Los Angeles.After simply having breakfast and saying goodbye to everyone, Edward Feldman, the producer of "Blood Corpse Night", drove him to the Phoenix Municipal 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 walked all the way to the pick-up hall, looking around.

I called Janet last night to pick me up, but I didn't expect Jonathan's assistant Owen Wright to appear at this time.Owen Wright also quickly spotted Simon, and hurried over, before he had time to say hello, he handed him a pair of sunglasses and said, "Simon, you'd better wear these."

There were not many people in the pick-up hall during this time period. Before Owen Wright continued to remind, Simon had already seen seven or eight guys with cameras trotting towards this side. The shutter was pressed, and a series of flashes lit up all around.

Following the movement here, many eyes in the hall were cast over at the same time.

Although it was the first time in his two lives that he had encountered such a situation, Simon did not panic. He put on his sunglasses, picked up the suitcase that was behind him, and hurried out of the hall with Owen Wright.

The paparazzi saw Simon and Owen quicken their pace to leave, trotted up again, surrounded them tightly, and continued to take pictures while asking questions in a hurry.

"Simon, can you stop and say a few words?" "Simon, "Run Lola Run" won the box office champion last weekend, let's talk about your impressions." "Simon, I heard that you are looking for a partner for your new script." , asking for a 10% share of the North American box office, do you think this is possible?" "Simon..."

Buzz, buzz.

Amidst the chaotic questions, Simon just bowed his head slightly in silence, squeezed the gap between the paparazzi with Owen Wright and slowly moved out without daring to use too much force. He heard Stallone being touched by the paparazzi in Arizona. Ci' news, I don't want to encounter such a mess when I just returned to Los Angeles.

It was quite difficult to come to the parking lot, and the two got into the car. Simon was relieved a little until they drove into the highway around the airport, but soon found that the group of paparazzi were all behind Owen Wright's car .

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

Simon said truthfully: "I kind of want to hit someone."

"Oh, you'll get used to it in the future. The number of people like this is actually very small. When you come back suddenly, it should be contacted by a reporter from Arizona," Owen stepped on the accelerator and accelerated the speed before continuing: "Miss Johnston originally planned to pick you up, but when she was about to leave, she found that the house was surrounded, so she could only call Joe, and then I came."

When Simon heard the words, he immediately asked with concern: "What's going on?"

Owen leaned over to the back row and Simon made a calm gesture, and said, "Didn't you tell the reporter last night that you have a girlfriend?"

Simon said in surprise: "I didn't say Jenny's name, and, why did you know it so quickly?"

"Thousands of newspapers in the entire Federation, how can there be sales if they are unhappy? But don't worry, those paparazzi basically obey the rules. As long as Miss Johnston doesn't go out, there will be no problem. Let's talk about this matter in a few days." The news about her was almost fired, and the paparazzi who blocked her house were gone," Owen explained, and then asked: "Simon, where are you going now? I suggest you better not go to Johnston Miss, that will only bring more paparazzi over there."

Simon thought about it, since Jenny was blocked at home, there must be someone guarding him outside his villa in Montana.

After thinking about it for a while, Simon made a decision and said, "Go to the WMA headquarters. Coincidentally, I also have something to talk to Joe about."

Owen nodded and said: "Joe actually wants to chat with you as soon as possible. You have been away for a month, especially in the last two weeks, seeking cooperation, requesting interviews, asking for news, all kinds of things, they can't find You can only contact us, Joe is going crazy, even I have to block dozens of calls about you every day."

Although he had clearly felt the changes around him in Arizona, Simon still smiled when he heard what Owen said: "It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

Owen looked at Simon through the rearview mirror again, and said: "It seems that you are obviously not very clear about your current situation. Simon, "Run Lola Run" is very hopeful to win this year's North American box office champion. Think about it How good Tom Cruise was after Top Gun hit the box office last year. And now, you too."

Simon noticed a paparazzi on a motorcycle outside the car window who was very difficult to operate the camera with one hand to take pictures in vain against the window glass, nodded, stopped talking, and started to think about the next things again.

More than 20 minutes later, Owen parked his car in the parking lot in front of the WMA headquarters, and before the paparazzi surrounded him again, the two hurried into the WMA headquarters building.

It was just a busy time for work, and the WMA headquarters building was full of people.

Noticing that Owen Wright walked in with a young man, most people were puzzled at first, and as some people who recognized Simon eagerly came forward to say hello, everyone quickly realized Simon's identity, so they either nodded Greetings, or take the initiative to come forward to chat.

Coming to Jonathan Friedman's office in such a lively manner, the agent has already greeted him.

"Simon, you're finally back."

Saying hello, Jonathan stepped forward to hug Simon, and patted him on the shoulder after letting go, before leading him into his office with the envious eyes of other WMA employees and customers around him.

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

Simon watched the manager busy, but did not go to the reception area. He came to his desk and pointed to the landline on the table, and said, "Joe, I want to call Jenny first."

"Of course," Jonathan nodded understandingly, put the stack of folders on the desk, pressed them casually, and said, "You call first, I just want to go out, and the mailroom just said that there is a document that needs me Sign for it yourself."

Simon smiled and watched the agent leave the office before picking up the receiver and dialing Janet's number.

After getting along for so long, Simon also found that Janet was a person who hated answering the phone. After beeping for a while, someone picked it up and hummed lazily.

Simon smiled and said, "Jenny, it's me."

Hearing Simon's voice, Janet on the other side of the phone woke up, but immediately began to blame Simon for attracting a lot of paparazzi.

After chatting for a while, under the obsession of the woman, although he knew that if he rushed to Malibu, he would definitely attract more paparazzi, Simon finally agreed to Janet to rush there as soon as he finished talking with Jonathan.

After hanging up the phone, Jonathan, who had obviously been waiting outside for a while, opened the door and walked in.
