Compared with other scenes in "Run Lola Run", the casino scene is definitely a big scene. In the past two days, the crew invited more than 50 extra performers.

Even so, with the help of Ron, Catherine and others, Simon still controls the entire crew well.

However, there are too many people, and some situations are naturally inevitable.

As soon as the afternoon shooting started, Sandra found that her prop ring was missing.

In the original version of "Run Lola", Lola wears all kinds of strange jewelry on both hands.But in the new version, Simon only designed a wide version of the ring for the heroine. The one-centimeter-wide silver ring is engraved with a striking butterfly pattern, which is also the third hint of the "butterfly effect" buried by Simon.

For this small prop, Simon naturally wouldn't order just one.

After getting all three finished rings, Sandra liked them very much, so Simon handed over all three rings to the girl for safekeeping, and did not plan to take them back after the shooting.Although it was made of sterling silver, the three rings together were not worth much.

Now, this little thing is missing, and things get a little troublesome.

It never occurred to her that the ring she had been wearing would be lost, and Sandra didn't bring a spare.

The afternoon shots were all about Sandra, and Simon didn't want to get caught up in these small details, so he hurriedly sent an assistant director to Sandra's apartment in West Hollywood to pick up props.

Sandra herself will stay to touch up her makeup.

immediately.

Things went wrong again.

Sandra put the spare ring in a small safe she bought. The girl didn't want to tell outsiders the password, so she signaled the assistant director to bring the safe directly to the crew.

Think about it.

A burly man broke into a girl's apartment and came out with a safe on his shoulders.

What is this scene?

So the neighbors called the police.

After much tossing, nearly an hour had passed by the time Ron and Sandra rushed to the Hollywood police station to bring back the hapless director assistant.

Perhaps it was affected by this accident, and the subsequent shooting was not smooth.

In desperation, the crew had to announce two hours of overtime.

Only the last few simple shots are left. Although expensive overtime will be paid for overtime work, it will definitely save a lot of money compared to re-renting and arranging the scenes here next week.

If it is other time, overtime is nothing.

Tonight is the Halloween night that many people are looking forward to. The crew members are okay, and many extra performers are a little unhappy. After some communication and the promise of extra compensation, everyone reluctantly agrees.

Fortunately, near seven o'clock in the evening, all the scenes in the casino were successfully completed after all.

After work was over, Simon was staring at the staff sorting out a series of rented casino props, but Ron walked over with a 30-year-old white youth.

The young man is 1.8 meters tall, wearing a casual shirt and trousers, with short brown hair and some stubble, looking a little rough.

The two approached, and without waiting for Ron to introduce, the young man took the initiative to reach out to Simon, and introduced himself with a smile: "Simon Westeros, hello, I'm Peter Butler, a reporter from the "Los Angeles Times" .”

Simon shook hands with the other party unexpectedly, and said: "I know, I happened to read your article related to "Butterfly Effect". Also, Joe also called me two days ago, but I It seems to be rejected?"

With Brian De Palma and other three named executive producers, coupled with the film's location shooting these days, Sandra's eye-catching style inevitably attracted a lot of attention, and Hollywood has more and more people. Noticed the movie "Run Lola Run".

Then, agent Jonathan Friedman called Simon two days ago, saying that "Los Angeles Times" reporter Peter Butler wanted to do some interviews with him and the crew of "Run Lola Run".

Simon is so busy these days that he doesn't want to deal with these things.Moreover, now is far from the time for "Run Lola Run" to be exposed in the media, so I rejected it.

I didn't expect that the other party would suddenly appear on the set today.

When Peter Butler heard Simon's words, his smile remained the same, and he changed his name unknowingly, and said, "Simon, Mr. Ron invited me here. In fact, I have already stayed in the crew for an afternoon. , it’s just that you didn’t notice. Also, I wonder if you could take some time, maybe we can chat casually?”

Simon glanced at his producer.

Although I understand Ron's desire to give the movie some exposure, I'm still a little dissatisfied with his assertion.

Sensing Simon's gaze, Ron had no choice but to take the initiative and said, "Simon, this is actually a good opportunity, isn't it? Our movie will still be released in the future."

Simon still shook his head persistently, turned to Peter Butler and said, "Mr. Butler, I'm really sorry. I've been very busy recently, so forget about it."

Hearing this, Peter Butler was not discouraged, instead he raised the camera hanging on his chest, with a bit of slyness in his eyes, and said: "Actually, Simon, I have already got enough material to write an article. However, I also know that now is not the best time to expose "Run Lola Run". So, if you agree to take the time to accept my interview, I can save this article for the Sundance Film Festival next year Post it again."

Simon's eyes flashed when he heard Peter Butler's conditions.

It's November soon, and there are only more than two months left before the Sundance Film Festival in January next year.

Sundance was exactly the time when Simon wanted to push "Run Lola Run" to the front of the stage.

Unexpectedly, the reporter in front of him would guess his mind so accurately.

After hesitating for a moment, Simon said: "Tomorrow at noon, from twelve o'clock to one o'clock in the afternoon, Fox Studios, you only have one hour."

Peter Butler immediately stretched out his right hand again and said with a smile: "Then, I am looking forward to the meeting tomorrow."

Chapter 048 Halloween

Arrange everything, the sky has completely darkened.

Simon said goodbye to Ron McMillan and others in the parking lot, and was about to get in the car to leave when Sandra Bullock ran over again.

Feeling Simon's suspicious gaze, Sandra's face flashed a little embarrassed, but she still said: "Simon, there is a carnival in West Hollywood tonight, do you want to come together?"

Since it was Halloween, the street outside the parking lot was already filled with people of all kinds and strange shapes, making it very lively.In fact, Los Angeles attractions like Universal Studios, Disneyland, etc. will have even more festive celebrations tonight.

Although he has some memories, Simon still wants to personally experience the Halloween activities in North America.

However, facing Sandra's invitation, Simon hesitated.

Janet had suggested the other day that we all spend Halloween together.In order to prepare for the festival, she didn't come to the set at all today, and called Catherine at noon, saying that she was too busy.

Now, both women are in his home.

Noticing Simon's hesitation, Sandra felt a little lost, and was about to say casually that it doesn't matter if she's not free, Simon said, "Okay, but Catherine and Jenny may also go there together, is that okay?"

It seems that he really has a lot to do with those two women.

However, judging by the situation these days, it seems all too obvious.

The loss in her heart became more intense, and Sandra still nodded with a smile: "Of course, it's more lively when everyone is together."

Simon gestured to the street next to him: "So, where is it?"

"It's the section of Santa Monica Avenue in West Hollywood, you can see it directly from here. I, um, I'll wait for you on Holloway Street, which is the corner of Santa Monica Avenue derived west There's a big car park on Holloway, and you can leave your cars there. How about nine o'clock?"

It was past seven in the afternoon, and Simon thought for a while, two hours for dinner should be enough, so he nodded and agreed.

The two parted. Simon drove his SUV through the increasingly crowded streets of downtown Santa Monica and returned to the Montana area. The houses on both sides of the road were also decorated with lights and festoons today, and every household hung eye-catching signs. pumpkin lantern.

When I came to the door of my house, there were two extra-large jack-o-lanterns one meter high in front of the villa at this time, like two weird town house beasts. There were also several strings of beautiful lanterns hanging from the roadside to the villa door small jack-o-lanterns.

With no way to get the car into the yard due to festive dressing, Simon had to park the SUV on the side of the road.

After getting out of the car and going to the door, Simon took a closer look and found that the two extra-large pumpkins at the door turned out to be real.

Immediately worried.

Such a big pumpkin weighs one or two hundred catties, so how can you eat it? You can't throw it away, right?

Prodigal girls!

Saying this in his heart again, Simon opened the door and walked into the villa, with a faint smell of food wafting in the air.

Hearing the sound, Janet ran out of the kitchen immediately, and Catherine also raised her head to greet Simon, but then shrank back, probably busy with something.

"Simon, wait a little longer, it will be fine soon."

Janet took Simon's men's bag like a little wife, pushed him to sit on the sofa in the living room, and picked up the remote control to turn on the TV before running back to the kitchen.

Ok.

In the next month, I will drink pumpkin soup by myself.

Pumpkins seem to be holding up quite well.

Leaning on the sofa, Simon thought so, and couldn't help but look around again.

The current villa is no longer the original empty appearance, and all kinds of furniture and electrical appliances are basically complete.

Simon naturally didn't have the energy to arrange these.

A month ago, since she bought the first recliner, Janet started to move things in this villa like ants moving house, and finally even bought a set of spare keys, which the hostess arranged like a big fan stand up.

Not just the living room, but basically the whole villa was tidied up by women.

And, under the pretext of creating a 'Butterfly Effect'-themed mural from Run Lola Run, Janet has given herself a studio in the villa.I must take a rest when I am tired from painting, so I arranged another bedroom.Knowing that Simon is going to compose the soundtrack for "Run Lola" himself, the woman also brought her piano from the mansion in Malibu.

Up to now, the whole villa is basically Janet's breath, even Simon himself. Now he is burdened with a series of IOUs imposed by women. I don't know how many, it is estimated to be at least 10,000+ US dollars.

Since she grew up in a wealthy family, Janet's criteria for choosing furniture and electrical appliances belong to the one that is both right and expensive.Simon definitely doesn't have enough money to fill up a villa with a total of sixteen rooms.

Therefore, Janet issued an IOU every time she purchased a piece of furniture, and then pestered Simon tirelessly to get his fingerprints.The woman has now accumulated a thick stack of IOUs, which she often shakes triumphantly in her hands, and looks at Simon with a look of looking at Xi'er.

As a human being in two lives, although Simon does not lack the desire to accumulate wealth, he will plan carefully when necessary.But in his bones, Simon's attitude towards money is actually very indifferent, so he let Janet toss.

As for Janet's thoughts, Simon is not a rookie who doesn't understand people, so he naturally knows it well.Although he is not yet ready to accept a relationship, Simon will not reject a woman who has a crush on him.

Simon has always felt that it is not easy for a person to meet a few people who really treat him well in addition to his close relatives.

When you encounter it, you must cherish it.

Sitting on the sofa to rest for a while, Simon got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Passing by the restaurant, Simon accidentally saw a very striking roast turkey in the middle of the table.After coming to the kitchen, after washing his hands, he skillfully took the kitchen knife in Catherine's hand and cut the carrots, while saying, "Is there a mistake? It's not Thanksgiving. How could there be a turkey?"

Catherine handed over the task of chopping vegetables to Simon, went to the side and opened a soup pot to look at it, stirred it gently with a spoon, and said with a smile, "I don't know, I must have made a mistake."

Janet took out a plate of apple pie from the oven wearing oven mitts, glanced at Simon, and said, "I like turkey, can't I?"

"Of course." Simon nodded immediately, and said, "Also, do you like to eat pumpkins? The two big ones outside the door, you will take them away later."

Janet shook her head bluntly: "I don't like it, it's reserved for you for the winter."

"Forget it, I'm hibernating."

"I'll wake you up."

"I wake up very angry and eat people when I wake up."

"It's okay, I'll take Kate."

Catherine smiled and listened to the bickering between the two, and said at this time: "Why do you bring me, don't you bring a shotgun?"

"Yeah, Kate is still smart."

With a very hurt expression, Simon said something in Chinese: "The most poisonous woman's heart."

Janet looked surprised: "Hey, what language is this?"

"Hebrew?" Catherine echoed, "I remember Simon said that he can speak Hebrew."

"Hebrew is not like this." Janet shook her head, tilted her head and thought for a moment, and said, "I remembered, it's Chinese. I happened to hear it a few years ago when my old man was discussing business with people."

When Catherine heard this, she looked at Simon for proof.

Simon nodded approvingly.

Janet glanced at Simon again, and said to Catherine: "Kate, I don't know how many interesting things are hidden in the little boy's head. Maybe we can take the time to dig it out."

"No need to dig, in fact, I was captured by aliens when I was a child..."

"Nonsence."

"Ha ha."

"Okay, no kidding," Simon said with a smile, "Hurry up and eat, and we will go to West Hollywood to participate in the carnival later."

Janet suddenly dissatisfied: "But, I want to go to Universal Studios."

"It's too far away, and it's a bit late. If you want to go, you can go earlier tomorrow afternoon," Simon advised, "And I have an appointment with Sandy, and she will wait for us there."

When Janet heard this, she became even more dissatisfied. She snorted twice and said, "Damn man, Kate and I prepared dinner for you at home, but you went to hook up with other women."

Even so, Janet did not refuse to go to West Hollywood after having a lively dinner.

However, the three sets of Halloween costumes prepared by the woman were changed temporarily.

It was originally a set of knight helmets, a set of princess costumes, and a set of witch costumes. It is self-evident who they correspond to.

Now Catherine is a knight and Janet is still a princess.Simon put on a black robe and became a witch, oh no, a wizard.
