After Christmas, the last week of 1986 also hurried away.

It was 1987 in a blink of an eye.

At the beginning of the new year, the video and sound editing work of "Lola Run" was successfully completed. Due to the excellent lens quality, Simon completed the color matching of the samples in only a week.

Subsequently, "Lola Run" began the final printing process.

On the other hand, "Butterfly Effect" was also completed in mid-December before entering the post-production stage.

Simon learned from David Giller and Brian de Palma that Fox has not completely finalized the schedule for "Butterfly Effect" and needs to be determined based on the quality of the film.

However, the two most likely periods are either summer or Easter.

In this era, the popularity of the Easter schedule in North America is not as high as it was later. The most important schedules in Hollywood are still the summer and the end of the year.

The box office performance of "Butterfly Effect" is very important for Simon's subsequent development in Hollywood. He naturally hopes that this movie can be set in the popular summer archive. However, this is obviously not something he can decide.

Now, Simon can control the autonomy only "Lola Run".

Stuck in time, on January 13, Simon finally got the final copy of "Lola Run".

January 14.

Fox Studios, the time is afternoon.

In a screening room in the studio, David Giller and Brian de Palma entered the door together and found that a large group of people had gathered in the screening room. They were basically the crew members of "Lola Run". .

Hearing the arrival of the two, Simon who was chatting with everyone quickly got up to greet him, and the others nodded.

Since he was also busy in the latter part of "Butterfly Effect", Simon and the two of them did not meet many times these days. After greeted them, and chatted for a while after sitting down, David Giller said: "Simon, can you start? ?"

"Sorry, David, I have to wait," Simon shook his head, and said, "Mr. Sanders also promised to come, but it hasn't arrived yet."

David Giller heard the words and nodded understandingly.

Simon invited Peter Sanders, vice president of Fox Pictures, apparently related to the release of "Lola Run". David Giller also pointed out the details of Simon's release a few days ago.

After Simon finished speaking, he raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. After the appointed time, he just got up and planned to go outside the screening room.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Simon had hesitated whether to go to the administration building in person, and Peter Sanders' figure turned out from the side corridor. Seeing Simon waiting outside the screening room, Peter Sanders still had an apologetic look on his face, and he reached out and said, "I'm sorry, Simon, just finished a meeting."

"It's okay," Simon smiled and shook hands with the other party unchanged, and said, "Then, Peter, let's go in."

"Of course, I am looking forward to your movie."

The two walked into the screening room, Peter Sanders warmly greeted everyone, and looked around. There were six rows of seats in this screening room, separated from the left and right. On the left side of the first row are David Giller and Brian de Palma, and on the right are Janet and Catherine, with one seat on each side.

After hesitating for a moment, Peter Sanders sat down next to David Giller.

Simon stood beside Peter Sanders, noticed the hesitant details of the other party, only smiled.

Although he is sleek, but from this point of view, Peter Sanders is obviously not a big person.

As the senior executive of Fox Pictures who was directly responsible for the "Butterfly Effect" project, he obviously didn't want to sit with them at this time because he had been hanging by David Giller and Brian de Palma during the film production process. However, Peter Sanders did not dare to show this contradiction publicly.

When Peter Sanders was seated, Simon gave the auditorium a few words before sitting down beside Janet.

The lights in the projection room quickly dimmed.

Although he had already watched the samples in advance, after having been busy for half a year and finally accepting the test of the audience, Simon was still a little nervous at this time and could not help but clenched his fists.

A little cool hand stretched out in the dimness, and patted the back of Simon's fist.

Simon turned his head, noticed Janet's shiny eyes, smiled at her, and in turn held the cool little hand in his big hand.

Since it was the first trial screening of "Lola Run", Catherine, who was about to go to Arizona to film "Blood Corpse Night", also took the time to rush over today.

At this time, sitting on the other side of Janet, Catherine noticed Simon's action of holding Janet's small hand in her palm, and a slight loneliness flashed in her eyes. After the New Year, just after returning to Los Angeles, Catherine clearly felt the further relationship between Simon and Janet.

Before Catherine asked, Janet took the initiative to talk to her about Christmas Eve.

I don't know the blocking at all.

It wasn't until Catherine couldn't bear to cover Janet's little mouth, that Nizi stopped Bala.

I wanted to make myself forget all Janet's narrations as much as possible, but, after inadvertently glanced at Simon's profile on the other side, Catherine still remembered that Janet shook five white and tender fingers to narrate the first time in her life. I was tossed all night of the'tragic experience'.

Unknowingly, her cheeks began to heat up, and Catherine quickly focused her attention on the big screen in front of her.

Although based on her understanding of the personalities of the two people next to her, she even felt that it might be Jenny's savoury taste.

but.

Where do women need to be reasonable.

Ok.

who said it?

Thinking of this, Catherine flashed another word that Janet used when she criticized a guy.

With a bit of resentment, I followed in my heart.

Livestock!

A little hand touched it unconsciously, trying to pull himself.

turn on.

Really greedy, it's not enough to be held on the other side.

Watching a movie.

Waiting for a moment on the big screen lit up, accompanied by the slight sound of the projector running, the movie began to play.

The first is a line of subtitles.

In the future "Butterfly Effect" there will be an explanation of the term "Butterfly Effect" at the beginning, and Simon will not add such a beginning to "Rora Run".

However, Simon still made adjustments to the opening subtitles of the original version, only retaining a passage from British poet T·S·Elliott.

When the subtitles fell, the beating sound of the second hand began to sound quickly, and as the bright silver pendulum turned, several lines of subtitles appeared one after another.

Production company: Daenerys Pictures.

Executive Producers: Brian de Palma, David Giller, Robert Redford.

Director: Simon Westeros.

Since Brian and the others are willing to put names on them, Simon naturally would not pretend to be humble, and directly put the names of the three big men in the most prominent place at the beginning.

As the pendulum stopped, the camera moved to Simon's custom-made metal gear clock, and the fast-paced electronic music that was about to run through the entire movie also unfolded. The contagious music unconsciously guides the emotions of everyone in the screening room.

Then there are the walking dead people, and the narration centered on the philosophical proposition of 'who am I, where am I, what am I going to do'.

However, despite the philosophical narration, the movie did not leave the audience thinking time.

The dynamic electronic music seems to urge everyone to rush all the way.

then.

In the cartoon head, Lola started to run.

Until the beginning of the whole story.

In the lens that the inertia generally pulls in quickly, the eye-catching red telephone ringing.

Manny has received a trading task entrusted by the boss, and everything went well. When returning, the agreed girlfriend Laura didn't come to pick him up on time, so she had to find a way to return to the city, and then lost the money for the transaction.

100,000.

Enough for the boss to burn him into ashes and spill him into the sea.

Panicked, Manny complained to Laura on the phone with tears.

In order to save her boyfriend's life, Laura had to raise $100,000 in a short period of time and send it to a phone booth in downtown Santa Monica.

She only has 20 minutes.

Without hesitation, he rushed out of the house without hesitation.

Run all the way.

When he came to his father's office as a bank manager, not only did he not get help, but he was exposed to his life experience.

Failed to get the money, still ran to the finish line without giving up.

The boyfriend has entered the supermarket with a gun.

Well, if you insist on being Clyde, I will be your Bonnie.

The robbery was successful.

Escape failed.

Was shot and killed by a stupid rookie policeman.

Not reconciled.

Then do it again.

The fall of the red phone is the starting point again.

This time, I'm Bonnie, you don't have to be Clyde.

It seems to succeed.

Until the last moment.

God doesn't seem to like people who get something for nothing, so he took him away.

Continue to start again.

In the corridor, the neighbours and vicious dogs who tried to get in the way were skipped, maybe it was a second, or a second was wasted.

Who knows.

Anyway, missed his father, but met the casino.

then.

Everything seems to be going well.

I made $100,000 and successfully rushed to the destination.

The beggar who accidentally picked up the 100,000 U.S. dollar got the thief's bicycle, and also rushed to his boyfriend in advance to 'repay' the money.

nice ending.
