When I have grown up and have a lover.

So I asked him.

What will the future hold?

Will there be a rainbow every day?

lover said.

let it go.

The world is unpredictable, whatever happens with him.

……

The faint singing accompanied by the sound of the piano floated in the villa, driving away the loneliness hidden in every corner on Christmas Eve.

Chapter 053 Test Screening

Christmas passed, and the last week of 1986 slipped away.

In the blink of an eye, it was already 1987.

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

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

On the other hand, "Butterfly Effect" was also finalized in mid-December and entered the post-production stage.

Simon learned from David Giller and Brian De Palma that Fox has not yet fully finalized the schedule of "The Butterfly Effect" and needs to decide based on the quality of the finished film.

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

In this era, the popularity of the Easter schedule in North America is far from as high as later, and the most important schedules in Hollywood are still only the summer vacation and the end of the year.

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

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

Stuck on time, on January 1, Simon finally got the final copy of "Run Lola Run".

1 month 14 day.

Fox Studios, the time is afternoon.

In a screening hall in the studio, David Giller and Brian De Palma entered together, and found that a large group of people had gathered in the screening hall, basically all of them were the film crew of "Run Lola Run" member.

Noticing the arrival of the two, Simon, who was chatting with everyone, quickly got up and greeted them, and the others also nodded.

Since they are also busy with the later stage of "The Butterfly Effect", these days Simon and the two don't meet many times. After saying hello and sitting down, David Giller said: "Simon, can we start?" ?”

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

David Giller nodded in understanding upon hearing this.

Simon invited Fox VP Peter Saunders, apparently in connection with the release of Run Lola Run.David Giller also pointed out the details of Simon's distribution a few days ago.

After Simon finished speaking, he raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. After the appointed time, he simply got up and planned to go outside the screening hall to have a look.

After waiting for nearly 10 minutes, Simon was already hesitating whether to go to the administration building to have a look in person, before the figure of Peter Sanders turned out from the side corridor.Seeing Simon waiting outside the auditorium, Peter Saunders still had an apologetic look on his face. He reached out and said, "I'm so sorry, Simon, I just finished a meeting."

"It's okay," Simon shook hands with the other party without changing his smile, and said, "Then, Peter, let's go in."

"Of course, I'm looking forward to your movie."

The two walked into the auditorium, and Peter Sanders greeted everyone enthusiastically. Looking around, there were six rows of seats in this auditorium, separated from the left and right.In the first row sits David Giller and Brian De Palma on the left, Janet and Catherine on the right, with one seat on each side.

After a moment of hesitation, Peter Sanders sat down next to David Giller.

Simon stood beside Peter Sanders, noticing the details of the other party's hesitation, and just smiled.

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

As the executive directly responsible for the "Butterfly Effect" project of Fox Films, he obviously didn't want to sit with David Giller and Brian De Palma at this time because he had been left alone during the film production process.However, Peter Sanders did not dare to publicly show this contradiction.

After Peter Saunders sat down, Simon told the auditorium staff a few words before sitting down beside Janet.

The lights in the auditorium quickly dimmed.

Although he had already seen the samples in advance, but after half a year of busy work, he finally had to accept the audience's test formally. Simon was still a little nervous at this time, and couldn't help but clenched his fists.

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

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

Since it was the first trial screening of "Run 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 holding Janet's little hand in the palm of his hand, and a little loneliness flashed in her eyes.Just after returning to Los Angeles after the New Year, Catherine clearly felt the further relationship between Simon and Janet.

Before Catherine could ask, Janet took the initiative to tell her about Christmas Eve.

Don't know anything about blocking.

It wasn't until Catherine couldn't take it anymore that she covered Janet's little mouth, and the girl stopped barking.

Trying to make herself forget Janet's various nagging, but casually glanced at Simon's side face on the other side, Catherine still remembered Janet shaking five white and tender fingers to describe the first time in her life Just had a 'miserable experience' all night.

Her cheeks began to heat up unknowingly, and Catherine quickly turned her attention to the big screen in front of her.

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

but.

Women don't need to be reasonable.

Ok.

who said it?

Thinking of this, another word that Janet used when criticizing a certain guy flashed in Catherine's mind.

With a bit of resentment, he chanted in the bottom of his heart.

livestock!

A small hand touched it unconsciously, wanting to pull him.

turn on.

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

watching a movie.

On the big screen that was lit up, after waiting for a moment, with the slight sound of the projector running, the movie started to play.

The first is a line of subtitles.

In the future, "Butterfly Effect" will also have an explanation of the term "Butterfly Effect" at the beginning, and Simon will not add such an opening to "Run Lola Run".

However, Simon still adjusted the opening subtitles of the original version, retaining only a passage from the British poet T.S. Eliot.

When the subtitles fell, the beating sound of the second hand began to sound rapidly. With the rotation of the bright silver pendulum, several lines of subtitles appeared one after another.

Production company: Daenerys Films.

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

Director: Simon Westeros.

Since Brian and the others are willing to be named, Simon will naturally not pretend to be modest and cover up, and directly put the names of the three big shots in the most prominent place at the beginning.

As the pendulum stops and the camera pans to Simon's custom metal gear clock, the fast-paced electronic music that will run throughout the film unfolds.The contagious music unknowingly guides the emotions of everyone in the auditorium.

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

However, although there is such a narration that implies philosophy, the movie does not leave the audience with any time to think.

The dynamic electronic music seems to be urging everyone to run wildly.

then.

In the beginning of the cartoon, Lola starts to run.

until the beginning of the whole story.

In the lens that was pulled in quickly like inertia, the eye-catching red phone rang.

The little gangster Manny received the trading task entrusted by the boss, and everything went well.When he returned, his girlfriend Laura did not come to pick him up on time, so he had to find a way to go back to the city by himself, and then lost the money for the transaction.

10 million US dollars.

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

In a panic, Manny complained to Laura on the phone tearfully.

In order to save her boyfriend's life, Laura had to raise $10 in a short period of time and send it to a phone booth in downtown Santa Monica.

She only has 20 minutes.

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

Run all the way.

When he came to the office of his father, who was the bank manager, not only did he not get help, but his background was exposed.

He failed to get the money, and still ran to the finish line unswervingly.

The boyfriend has entered the supermarket with a gun.

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

The robbery was successful.

Escape failed.

Got shot and killed by a stupid rookie cop.

Not reconciled.

Then do it all over 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 have worked.

until the last moment.

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

Continue to do it all over again.

Jumping over the neighbors and vicious dogs trying to block the way in the corridor may have saved a second, or wasted a second.

Who knows.

Anyway, I missed my father, but met the casino.

then.

Everything seems to be going well.

I earned 10 U.S. dollars and successfully arrived at the destination.

The beggar who accidentally picked up the $10 got the thief's bicycle, and also rushed to the boyfriend's side ahead of time to 'return' the money back.

nice ending.

Chapter 054 Completion

When the subtitles fell and the lights came on again, many people in the auditorium felt as if they had just woken up from a dream.

After a short silence, the applause sounded in the projection hall.Because of the small number of people, the applause was not enthusiastic, but it seemed uniform.

Due to budget and other factors, those who joined the crew at the beginning were basically behind-the-scenes personnel who have been in the low-cost independent film circle all year round.

As a film practitioner, I am naturally very concerned about the films I make.However, after watching a few of the movies I participated in in the past, I gradually lost any expectations.

Although there are people like Brian De Palma supporting them, most of the crew didn't think that a young man like Simon could make such an outstanding movie.The reason why many people came to participate in the trial screening this time is also because several big names will also attend.
