Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

Simon first met Katherine Bigelow, a female Hollywood director, after winning the Oscar for "The Hurt Locker" in 2010.

Speaking of which, his first impression of Catherine Bigelow was his appearance.

At the Oscars in 2010, Katherine Bigelow, who was tall and tall in a long linen silk dress, looked only 30 years old, and her figure and temperament were enough to crush most of the actresses on the red carpet that year.

But in fact, Katherine Bigelow was born in 1951. Even now in 1986, she is 35 years old.

Simon can only sigh that there is never a shortage of fairies in this world who can resist the erosion of time.

Then there's the other side's work.

After the Oscars that year, Simone watched several Catherine Bigelow films.

In all fairness, most of the films directed by Catherine Bigelow can only be said to be average, but the roughness of the other party's works, like the totem of ancient stone pillars, is impressive. This woman seems to be using all her fullness. The masculine language of the camera tells the audience in front of the screen that what a man can do, I can do it, and what a man can't do, I can still do it.

Simon even felt that Katherine Bigelow's gender power through her own works had already carried a bit of an aura of ecstasy.

The bus started again and headed south along California Highway 1.

Catherine Bigelow put all her attention on the manuscript in front of her after the slight gesture just now. Simon glanced curiously. Judging from the text format on the paper, the woman should have a script in her hand, and then she didn't bother.

After more than an hour, it was not until Catherine read the last page of the manuscript that Simon opened his mouth in time: "Is this a script?"

A woman's sixth sense is always very keen. When she was just reading the script, Catherine felt that the young man beside her would look at her from time to time. As a beautiful woman, she has never been short of flirting people around her, and she has become accustomed to this kind of thing.

However, the other party didn't bother her for more than an hour just now, and she didn't speak until she finished the script, which also made Catherine feel a little more inexplicable, so she nodded at Simon with a smile, and said, "Yeah. ."

Although she responded, Catherine did not have much will to talk to Simon.

Although the young man in front of him has a handsome face with sharp edges and corners, and his temperament is more mature than his peers, in any case, he is obviously just a big boy under twenty years old. If friends know that they have been approached by such a boy, they will definitely be laughed to death.

Just as she was about to turn her eyes out of the car window to make a gesture of refusal, Catherine heard the young man beside her continue: "Actually, I also have a script. If we watch it instead, it will take several hours to get to Los Angeles. ."

Having said that, Simon has stood up neatly, removed the backpack from the overhead rack, and picked out one of the two manuscripts and showed it to Catherine.

Catherine felt a little surprised that Simon came up with a script, but she still classified Simon's actions as the category of picking up a conversation. She planned to expressly refuse, but glanced at the title of the script in Simon's hand, she couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked subconsciously: "Butterfly effect, what does this mean?"

"This is a hypothesis made by MIT meteorology professor Edward Lorenz to illustrate his theory," Simon said, handing the script to Katherine, and continued: "Professor Lorenz assumes that South America A butterfly in the Amazon basin occasionally flapped its wings, and the impact of that flap on the surrounding airflow continued to spread, causing a chain reaction that culminated in a terrifying tornado in Texas."

Catherine listened carefully to Simon's explanation and couldn't help shaking her head: "The butterfly flaps its wings to cause a tornado, how is this possible?"

Simon said: "Professor Lorenz is using this to describe the huge impact that a small variable can have on the entire system. And, I think it's very possible, but we can't prove it."

Catherine hummed softly and didn't argue with Simon. She was not a person who liked to argue with people. I found that I had already taken over the script called "The Butterfly Effect" without knowing it, so I opened it curiously.

Then, when he felt the young man beside him still looking at him, he remembered what he just said.

After hesitating, he handed over his script.

Anyway, like he said, just pass the time.

She opened the script in her hand and glanced at it, realized something, and jumped and turned a few pages before Catherine finally made up her mind.

It turned out that, including the title on the cover, the entire script was handwritten in neat English fonts similar to print, which made her look at the young man beside her who had turned her attention to her script again.

In this era, typewriters have become a very common office tool. It is very rare for young people who are willing to write more than 100 pages of scripts by hand and write so beautifully.

Simon didn't know Catherine's mental activities. In fact, handwriting scripts was also his helpless move. He lived in a mental hospital. Even if the doctor allowed him to have a typewriter, he couldn't afford it.

Putting Catherine's script on his knees and opening it, Simon has already recognized that this should be Catherine's first theatrical feature film "Blood Dead Night". After "The Hurt Locker" won the award, he inquired about Katherine out of curiosity

I read the introduction to the film, but didn't take the time to watch the film.

With the in-depth reading, Simon quickly sorted out the general context of the story in his hand.

Kalebo, a young farmer in Oklahoma, met a girl named May and fell in love with her at first sight, but May was actually a vampire and transformed Kalebo into a vampire on impulse.

Kalebo was then kidnapped by May's vampire companions and forced to travel the world.

Although he has the ability of immortality, after several twists and turns, Kalebo found that this was not the life he wanted, so he wanted to get rid of this group of vampires. At the same time, Kalebo's father and sister were also in him. After disappearing, he painstakingly embarked on the road to find his relatives.

On the other side, after an unknown amount of time, after reading the last page of the script, Catherine raised her head and found that Simon was still flipping through her script slowly, but suddenly there was a small urge to grab the script in his hand.

Although she doesn't like the overly pessimistic and gloomy tone of "The Butterfly Effect", after reading the whole story, Catherine has to admit that the "Butterfly Effect" with its exquisite and novel plots is better than "Blood Night" too much.

In the final analysis, "Blood Dead Night" is just a simple romance in a vampire's coat, and there are some script loopholes that even she herself can't do anything about.

Waiting quietly for Simon to finish the script, Catherine involuntarily asked in a tone of advice she didn't even realize: "How is it?"

Simon thought for a while and said, "I like the scene where Kalebo knelt in front of May and sucked the blood from her wrist, with a sense of immorality that transcended ethics. This should be inspired by the phenomenon of lamb suckling. , the future shots will be very touching.”

Catherine didn't expect Simon to express her feelings based on a certain point in the script. Although the script of "Blood Dead Night" was not entirely written by her, the picture Simon described at this time was precisely her hand.

Many fans will make excessive deconstruction that completely exceeds the director's intention after watching the movie, but Simon's understanding at this time coincides with her mind. She is an art student, so she habitually adds some symbolic shots to the script.

"Then," after hesitation, Catherine asked bluntly, "Do you think there is any room for improvement in this script?"

Hearing the woman's question, Simon was a little surprised, but he quickly said: "Perhaps, the farm can be turned into a ranch. I see a lot of scenes in the script, but no matter what the state of the farm, there is absolutely no paving. A pasture full of green meadows is more visual.”

Catherine thought about it for a while, nodded her head, and asked again, "What about the last episode, the setting where Kalebo and May return to human beings, do you think there is a better way to deal with it?"

In the script of "Blood Corpse Night", the hero and heroine were transformed back into human beings by transfusion of human blood. This setting is indeed very far-fetched.

However, Simon shook his head and said: "You must have revised the script many times, right? If you can change it, I will definitely not see this kind of plot now. There is really no way to change it, otherwise the second half of the whole script Parts need to be overturned, and that must be another story."

Catherine nodded, understanding that what Simon said was the truth, but there was still some disappointment in her expression.

Simon looked at the woman's expression and said, "Actually, there is another place that can be adjusted."

Catherine looked over again: "Huh?"

"The main character's name," Simon said with a smile on his lips, "Did you know? The name Kalebo comes from Hebrew, which actually means 'ferocious hound'. This name is too earthy, it's best another."

Catherine understood from Simon's smile that he was joking, and smiled, "You still know Hebrew."

"Yeah, fairly fluent. So, I'll definitely get along very well in Hollywood in the future."

Hebrew is the national language of the Jews. As we all know, Hollywood is the world of the Jews. Being able to speak fluent Hebrew will definitely give Simon the favor of many Jews in Hollywood.

In fact, due to inheriting the memories of twelve other people, not only Hebrew, but also more proficient English and Chinese, Simon can also speak German, French and Spanish at this time, which almost covers the most mainstream languages ​​in the world. several languages. Therefore, even if he is doing a translation now, he must be the top one.

Catherine listened to Simon's tone, and Wei Wei had the urge to roll her eyes, but she felt that the young man had changed the subject a little and didn't want to comment too much on the meaning of her script. Perhaps, compared with his "Butterfly Effect", "Bloody Night" really has nothing to say.

It's not that Simon is reluctant to give Catherine more advice. He knows the strengths and weaknesses of Catherine's series of works well.

The key is that the two are still in a state of 'meeting by chance'. Is it advisable to persuade her to restrain the violent atmosphere of deliberately blurring gender awareness in her works, and encourage her to show her delicate side as a woman.

How did he know that such a beautiful woman's film work would not be delicate enough?

Guess what?

If you say too much, you will be exposed.

However, Catherine is not a forceful person, so she followed Simon's topic and said with a little chatter: "Then what do you think should be changed to Kalebo's name?"

"Simon, how are you?"

Catherine was a little puzzled: "Simon, is there anything special about this name?"

Simon stretched out a hand to the woman and smiled: "Simon Westeros, ma'am, may I know your name?"

Catherine suddenly understood that this was his name.

"My name is Catherine Bigelow," she shook his hand gently, and Catherine introduced herself with a smile, and said curiously, "Westeros, a very rare surname, you can speak Hebrew, so , is this a Jewish surname?"

"No," Simon shook his head and said, "This is my surname."

Westeros is an original word coined by George Martin that was supposed to appear ten years later. Therefore, Simon is now without a doubt the only 'Westeros' in the world.

Catherine could feel a faint sense of superiority implicit in Simon's words, but she did not feel any resentment in her heart.

He was able to create a script like "The Butterfly Effect", was able to talk casually about the theory of a professor at MIT, and was able to master a very small language such as Hebrew. Such an outstanding young man is proud of him. Some are taken for granted.
