Chapter 73

With the release of "Lola Run," Simon finds it hard to stay on the "bloody night" crew these days.

Because more and more media reporters have appeared in Coolidge town.

At the beginning, it was only local reporters in Arizona. Later, even media people from neighboring California, Nevada, New Mexico and other states began to come to the theater. They were scrambling around the crew, either seeking to interview Simon or directly following the crew.

Many times, when the crew is shooting at night, the flash lights will suddenly light up around them, and the result can be imagined.

Although there is no evidence, Simon is basically sure that it was probably Edward Feldman, the producer of blood dead night, who started the incident. The other side's purpose is no more obvious, in order to increase the exposure of the "blood corpse night" crew. In the first few days, Edward Feldman was obviously very excited about the reporter's appearance, and he took the initiative to be interviewed by the Arizona Daily Star.

During this period of time, according to the news spread within the cast, "blood corpse night" investor draolentis entertainment group due to the continuous deterioration of the financial situation, has been more and more on the verge of bankruptcy.

Due to the sudden upsurge of "Lola Run", the top management of Edward Feldman or d'laurentius entertainment obviously took "the night of the bloody corpse" with Simon's participation as the last straw, hoping that the film's future earnings can ease the company's plight, so they took the initiative to disclose Simon's presence in the crew.

Now, the name of "blood corpse night" really takes advantage of the east wind of "Lola Run" to appear frequently in many newspapers, and it is also popular for a time.

However, Edward Feldman obviously didn't expect that because most of the scenes in blood corpse night are location plays, the crew simply didn't have enough people to close all the shooting sites in the wild, and a lot of reporters surrounded the crew every day, the film couldn't continue shooting.

A parking lot in the west of the town, the same time is March 2, Monday.

It's 11 o'clock at night.

Today's shooting is an explosion scene, the hero carlebo driving a tanker into a vampire, and then the tanker exploded.

The crew had been preparing for the show for the whole weekend before. Simon had planned to leave last Friday. In order to help Catherine prepare for the more difficult scenes, he left them until now.

In the parking lot, he and Katherine re checked the layout. Simon gave Katherine a look of encouragement, raised his hand and pointed not far away. He said with a smile, "you start. I'll go there and watch."

Katherine nodded and watched Simon go to a group of reporters who were stopped outside the edge of the parking lot. Then she began to tell everyone to take their place.

On the other hand, Simon came to the media reporters and saw someone raise his camera. He quickly made a gesture and said, "guys, this set of lenses is worth at least $100000. If it's destroyed by the flash, the crew will have to send you a lawyer's letter. So, let's put down the camera. I can talk with you for a while

After coming to Coolidge for more than a week, this young man, who has aroused heated discussion in the whole Federation, has never had direct contact with the media.

At this time, Simon said that he could talk with you for a while. Although it was clear that he was looking at himself so as not to disturb the next camera, the reporters gave up the idea of taking pictures and took out the tape recorder one after another. A reporter with quick reaction had asked in a loud voice: "Simon, I heard that you only got $500 a week in this movie, Is that true? "

Simon stood in the line of separation, smelling the words with a smile: "I just came to help, salary doesn't matter."

Just now the reporter immediately added: "so, are you really after Katherine Bigelow?"

Simon was not surprised to hear that.

These days, more than one newspaper has been speculating on the relationship between Simon and Catherine. Simon has no choice but to shake his head and say, "of course not. I already have a girlfriend. You know, Katherine is the deputy director of "Lola Run." we agreed to help each other. That's why I'm here. "

When Simon admitted that he had a girlfriend, the reporters got more excited.

Star love has always been the most popular entertainment news for gossip lovers. Simon is now more famous than many big stars, and his age and appearance are destined to attract many female readers.

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

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

Simon felt the buzz in his ear, raised his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know if she wants to be noticed. So, we can't say for the time being. "

Naturally, journalists will not be reconciled to continue to clamorously ask questions.

Simon actually felt the movement behind him all the time. With Catherine's "action", he raised his hand and made a pause gesture to the crowd. Then he turned and looked into the set.Under the gaze of many eyes, there was a loud noise, and the lengthened tanker lifted up a huge orange flame.

However, despite his astonishing momentum, Simon knew that the explosion was actually very safe. Standing more than ten meters away from the tanker, Simon only felt a gentle wave of air coming towards him.

After careful observation of the seats set in advance, Simon confirmed that everyone was busy with their work in an orderly way, so he was relieved.

Ten minutes or so, Catherine finally made an OK gesture to Simon from a distance.

There will only be this set of scenes tonight. Since it's successfully completed, Simon naturally doesn't have the mind to deal with the reporters behind him, so he lifts his feet and goes to the set.

The reporters recovered from the explosion and found Simon walking away, shouting to keep him. Some people wanted to catch up, but they were stopped by the prepared staff on the sideline.

Ten minutes of shooting took three days to prepare and more than two hours to finish. After finishing everything, the crew returned to the hotel at 2:00 a.m. on March 3.

After saying good night and washing, Catherine was sitting on the bed of the hotel room in her pajamas, feeling the quietness around her, but she didn't feel sleepy for a moment.

So he picked up his own director's notes and turned them over at the head of the bed.

There was a line on the title page: an adventure for calebo, a rebirth for May.

That's what he said.

"Blood corpse night" began shooting in late January, he did not follow into the group at that time, she led the group to start shooting for the first two weeks alone.

Then, although she was reluctant to admit it, she found that she was far less able than him. Even though she had made very careful preparations, she still felt confused when the film really started.

During the first two weeks of shooting, I always thought, what would he do if he came to shoot this shot?

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

He is very clear about what kind of effect he wants, and has enough confidence to give orders to the staff directly. But she had to be very careful to discuss most of the details with the rest of the crew.

Because she is not as good at photography, lighting, setting, editing and music as he is

Besides movies, he seems to know a lot.

It's the illegitimate son of the goddess of wisdom.

Although at the beginning, he said that it was OK that he didn't come to help, after he entered the group, everything seemed to go smoothly.

Feeling her confusion about the role building and the main line of the film, he helped her summarize this sentence on the title page of her notebook.

"An adventure for calebo, a rebirth for May.".

In his opinion, both the story and the core of the characters should be closely around these two points. Being awakened by him, she gradually straightened out a lot of things.

When she was on the "Lola Run" crew, 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 holds the child's little hand in person and helps him learn to draw little by little.

Whenever there is a problem, he will always use a suggestive tone to say: "maybe it can be..."

Very patient.

She did benefit a lot from this time.

However, she knew very well how much control he was. Perhaps, in his mind, he has had the idea of driving this stupid woman out of the position of director for countless times.

Little bastard.

I think so.

So some unreasonable thought, but realized that he was leaving tomorrow. The crew will soon turn to the normal day shooting, and there are still a lot of location plays. He continues to stay in the crew, surrounded by a large group of media reporters, and the shooting can't go on.

Well.

The bottom of my heart sighed gently.

With the great success of "Lola Run", he has been a leading Hollywood director in any case. It is expected that the box office in North America will exceed 150 million US dollars. No one will deny his ability and status if he can do this.

Last year, the frustrated teenager she first met on the bus seemed to have left everyone behind in a flash, leaving her to look up to.

These thoughts flashed in my heart, and I suddenly wanted to talk to him.

He lives next door to himself.

However, even if she didn't mean anything else, she immediately gave up the idea when she thought of those media reporters.

Although it's more than three o'clock in the morning, no one can guarantee that the journalists who can do anything crazy for the news will stay outside. The hotel is a very open concave layout, with more than ten rooms directly facing the wide road. It's easy to see any guest room when someone goes in or out.

If found, it's completely unclear.

During this period of time, many media have started to gossip about her and Simon. I have read several articles by chance. I feel strange and worried about Jennie's reaction, but I can only pretend nothing happened in front of others.So he sighed again.

She's still not as good as Jennie.

Lazily to seize the man they want, but she will only be timid.

So think, suddenly gave birth to some small impulse.

So I raised my hand.

He tapped on the wooden wall.

Dong Dong Dong.

The heart is also speeding up.

However.

Wait a moment.

The other side didn't respond.

Some lost, but also can not help giving birth to some small rebellious.

Raise your hand again.

Dong Dong Dong.

Finally, a voice came from the next room, obviously with a smile: "it's a long night. I don't want to sleep. Madam, do you need me to break the wall and enter?"

Reading the strange intonation like poetry, I don't know where the sentence is translated from. With ridicule, she suddenly blushes. Listen to him say to want to break the wall and enter, the heart immediately raised, blurted out: "you dare!"

"Then I'll go to bed. I thought it was a rat so late."

"You are the mouse."

"It's obviously a very gentlemanly mouse who hasn't made a hole for so long."

"Bah."

"Well, don't make any noise and go to bed."

So some inexplicably satisfied to lie down, pull on the quilt, turn off the lamp. Think of him to coax the voice of the little girl, or gently said: "little bastard."
