After Simon finished speaking, when Amy Pascal nodded slightly, he turned and walked towards him.
This party was the last time Simon asked Orion to host it after hearing Ron MacMillan's message. Everyone who helped to complete "Lola Run" together was invited, and Simon also did his best to entertain.
The party went on late into the night, and Simon was still up early the next day.
Because of the move.
The re-chosen residence is halfway up the mountain in the Palisade area in the north of Santa Monica. The mansion covers an area of about one acre, more than twice the size of Janet's residence in Malibu. Excellent, standing in the mansion, you can easily overlook the entire Los Angeles city and the magnificent sea view at the foot of the mountain.
Of course, the monthly rental fee is also as high as $15,000.
Although he has no particular preference for luxury houses, Simon has found that if you want to ensure privacy, you can basically choose to rent this type of residence.
Speaking of which, Simon's current net worth is actually more than enough to buy a mansion, and he also prefers to live in his own house. However, now is the peak of the US stock market and housing bubble in the 1980s.
If he can't see the future, Simon may also choose to buy a mansion in this hot market. But he clearly remembers that with the stock market crash in the second half of this year, the U.S. property market will also be affected and fall sharply. If you choose to buy a house at that time, the price will not only drop a lot, but you will definitely have more choices.
After a busy weekend, a new week is coming soon.
However, early on Monday morning, Simon was awakened by the phone ringing in his sleep, followed by the anxious voice of Mike Medova asking him to receive a fax.
After some tossing, Simon saw an article in the East Coast "New York Times" with only one word in the title, "The Scam", and the content came from a New York Times contributor named Mark Horrington .
"The first time I saw "Lola Run," I fell in love with the film. All the details of the film's movement, color, soundtrack, editing, etc., gave me a refreshing feeling."
"The movie can still be made like this."
"However, when I heard that the movie was from an 18-year-old, I immediately fell into some kind of indescribable confusion, and then, as in the article from my West Coast peers, started to reminisce about my 18-year-old , and even the 18-year-olds of everyone around me."
"I grew up in a decent family, I had a decent education, and I was surrounded by a lot of smart people. But in the end I found out that no one I knew had the same thing when I was 18. The potential of such a great film. Yes, I said 'potential'. Even if they were trained from a young age in filmmaking in all aspects of directing, cinematography, soundtracking, lighting, etc., I don't think any of them would be You can make an amazing film like Lola Run when you're 18."
"Now, someone has done it."
"He wrote the script himself, acted as the director himself, carried the camera himself, completed the editing himself, and did the soundtrack himself...and, all of this was so outstanding that it was impeccable."
"Is it really possible?"
"So, while watching the film over and over again, I started to pay close attention to everything about this young director named Simon Westeros. When the information in the newspapers no longer met my personal needs, I even Went to San Francisco in person and stayed there for a full week."
"Simon Westeros, maybe he prefers to be called that now."
"This boy grew up in a child welfare home in San Jose, San Francisco County, and he had no relatives and no foster family, which is really sympathetic. Then Simon Westeros, relying on the support of the federal welfare system, completed it in obscurity. He went from elementary school to high school and got accepted into Stanford University with a blockbuster. I interviewed a lot of people around Simon Westeros, and they did say that this is a very hard boy. But at the same time, these people also revealed that, They never found Simon Westeros to have any talent for movies, and a lot of people don't even remember Simon Westeros seeing a movie."
"Then I can basically conclude that Simon Westeros's talent for film never came from his teenage years."
"Next, Simon Westeros entered Stanford University. However, in less than two months, the poor young man was sent to a mental hospital for nine months of treatment for a sudden mental illness."
"Obviously, two months at Stanford was also not enough to allow Simon Westeros to build up any film skills."
"Afterwards, I also visited the mental hospital, and the attending physician in charge of Simon Westeros was very vigilant and did not reveal much to me when confronted with my inquiries. I even tried to obtain Simon Westeros. Luo's case was told that it was lost."
"Subtly 'lost'."
"Although I can't tell what happened in the nine months in the mental hospital, it is very rare for a person with violent schizophrenia to be able to leave the mental hospital again in nine months. It is obviously unlikely that he will be in the hospital. Any training in film skills during those nine months."
"Then a miracle happened."
"When Simon Westeros showed up in Los Angeles, he instantly became a film genius with a wide range of professional skills."
"Yes, absolutely
talent'. "
"Every detail of "Lola Run" makes him worthy of the word."
"Just, is this really possible?"
"A person who has never been involved in film since childhood, suddenly becomes a director; a person who has never touched a camera, suddenly becomes proficient in photography; a man who could never have had any musical training, suddenly becomes proficient in soundtracking? And editing , and lights, and all kinds of other things?"
"As a film critic, a veteran film fan, and a film practitioner who has barely entered the threshold because he has written one or two scripts, although I have not participated in film production, I am very aware that any film production process involves any A job, to reach the top, requires a long and dedicated grind, and no one can appear on the top of the mountain without climbing.”
"Now, watching the box office of "Lola Run", watching the heated discussion in the media, watching the audience waiting in line in front of a movie theater, watching Simon Westeros like a handsome young man I was chased by paparazzi like a singer, but I couldn’t get rid of a single thought in my heart.”
"scam."
"All of this is just a scam."
"First of all, I must state again that I have absolutely no doubts about the excellence of 'Lola Run'. It is an excellent film enough to go down in the history of Hollywood movies."
"but,"
"I can never believe that so much of the work on the film's subtitle list was done by a young man like Simon Westeros himself. I would rather believe that all of this is completely rehearsed by a behind-the-scenes man for a huge profit. farce."
"So, Simon Westeros, if I'm wrong, prove it to me! If you can prove it, I'm willing to apologise to you on any occasion, in any form. But if I'm right, tell the truth. Everyone, tell all the fans who loved this movie so much but were deeply deceived."
