With the release of "Lola Run", these days, Simon finds that it has become difficult for him to stay on the crew of "Night of the Blood Corpse".

Because more and more media reporters are appearing in the small town of Coolidge.

At first, it was only reporters from Arizona, and later reporters from the surrounding states such as California, Nevada, and New Mexico began to arrive, and they all surrounded the crew to either seek an interview with Simon, or directly follow the crew.

Many times, when the crew is shooting at night, the surrounding area will suddenly light up with flash, and the result can be imagined.

Although there is no evidence, Simon is basically certain that this incident is likely to be provoked by Edward Feldman, the producer of "Night of the Bloody Corpse". The other party's purpose could not be more obvious, in order to increase the exposure of the crew of "Blood Corpse Night". In the first few days, Edward Feldman was visibly excited about the reporter's presence, and took the initiative to be interviewed by a reporter from the Arizona Daily Star.

During this time, according to the news spread within the crew, De Laurentiis Entertainment Group, the investor of "Blood Corpse Night", has become more and more on the verge of bankruptcy due to the continuous deterioration of its financial situation.

Due to the sudden popularity of "Lola Run", Edward Feldman or the executives of De Laurentiis Entertainment obviously regarded "Blood Night" with Simon's participation as the last straw, hoping that the future income of this film could alleviate the company's predicament, so they privately took the initiative to reveal Simon's affairs to the crew.

Now, the name of "Night of the Blood Corpse" has indeed taken advantage of the east wind of "Lola Run" to appear frequently in many newspapers, and it has also attracted a lot of attention for a while.

It's just that Edward Feldman obviously didn't expect that because most of the scenes in "Blood Corpse Night" were location scenes, the crew simply didn't have enough manpower to close off all the filming sites located in the wild, and a large number of reporters surrounded the crew every day, and the movie couldn't continue to be filmed.

A parking lot in the western part of town, also on Monday, March 2.

It's 11 o'clock in the evening.

Today's filming is an explosion scene in which the actor Kalebo drives a tanker truck into a vampire, and then the tanker truck explodes.

The crew had spent the entire weekend preparing for the current scene, and Simon had planned to leave last Friday, in order to help Catherine prepare for this difficult set of scenes, so he stayed until now.

In the parking lot, together with Catherine, he re-inspected the layout, Simon gave Catherine an encouraging look, raised his hand and pointed not far away, and said with a smile: "You start, I'll go over there and watch." ”

Catherine nodded, watched Simon walk towards a group of reporters who had been stopped outside the fence at the edge of the parking lot, and then began to tell everyone to take their seats.

On the other side, Simon came to the onlookers and saw that someone raised his camera, quickly gestured, and said: "Guys, this set of shots is worth at least $100,000, if it is destroyed by the flash again, the crew can only send you a lawyer's letter." So, can you put your camera down, and I can talk to you for a while. ”

Coming to Coolidge to stay for more than a week, the young man in front of him, who has already caused heated discussions in the entire Federation, has never had direct contact with the media.

At this time, I heard Simon say that he could chat with everyone for a while, although it was clear that he was looking at his own people so as not to be disturbed by the next shots, the reporters still gave up the idea of taking pictures very facelessly, and took out the recorder one after another, and a responsive reporter had already asked loudly: "Simon, I heard that you only got $500 a week in this movie, is this true?"

Simon stood inside the separation line and said with a smile: "I'm just here to help, the salary doesn't matter." ”

Just now, the reporter immediately added: "So, are you really pursuing Kathryn Bigelow?"

Simon wasn't surprised to hear this.

These days, more than one newspaper has made various speculations about Simon and Catherine's relationship, Simon can only be helpless about this, and shakes his head at this time: "Of course not, I already have a girlfriend." You know, Catherine is the assistant director of Lola Run, and we agreed to help each other, so that's why I'm here. ”

Hearing Simon admit that he already had a girlfriend, the reporters suddenly became even more excited.

Celebrity love has always been the entertainment news that gossip lovers pay the most attention to, and Simon is now more famous than many big stars, and his age and appearance are destined to be of interest to many female readers.

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

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

Simon felt a buzzing sound in his ears, raised his hand and pressed it, "I'm sorry, I don't know if she's willing to be noticed by you." So, I can't say it for the time being. ”

Naturally, the reporters will not be reconciled, and continue to noisily change the way to ask questions.

Simon actually felt the movement behind him, and with Catherine's 'action', he raised his hand to make a pause gesture to everyone, and then turned to look inside the set.

Under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, there was a loud bang, and the elongated tanker truck rose into a huge orange-red flame.

However, despite the alarming momentum, Simon knew that this explosion was actually very safe, and standing more than ten meters away from the tanker truck at this time, Simon only felt a very gentle wave of air rushing towards him.

Carefully observing the several cameras set up in advance, Simon was relieved to confirm that everyone was busy with their work in an orderly manner.

After about ten minutes of busyness, Catherine in the field finally made an OK gesture towards Simon from a distance.

There will only be this set of shots tonight, and since it was successfully completed, Simon naturally didn't have to deal with the thoughts of the reporters behind him, and walked to the set with his feet raised.

The reporters recovered from the explosion just now and found that Simon had walked away, shouting to keep him, and some people wanted to catch up, but they were stopped by the staff who had been prepared on the sidelines.

The ten-minute shooting took three days to prepare, and the follow-up finishing took more than two hours. After everything was done, the crew called it a day and returned to the hotel, and the time was already two o'clock in the morning on March 3.

After saying goodnight to everyone and washing up, Catherine sat on the bed in the hotel room in her pajamas, feeling the silence around her, but she didn't feel sleepy for a while.

So he picked up his director's notebook and leaned against the head of the bed to open it.

On the title page is a line: An adventure in Callebo, a rebirth in May.

Here's what he said.

"Night of the Blood Corpse" started filming in late January, and he did not follow the crew at that time, she led the team alone to start the filming of the first two weeks.

Then, though she was reluctant to admit it, she found herself far less comfortable than he was. Even, although she had made very careful preparations and the movie really started shooting, she still felt lost.

In the first two weeks, when shooting, I always wondered, what would I do if he was shooting this shot?

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

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

Because she is far from being like him, proficient in cinematography, proficient in lighting, proficient in sets, proficient in editing, proficient in soundtrack......

Outside of the movie, he seems to know a lot of things as well.

Simply the illegitimate child of the goddess of wisdom.

Although he was a little duplicitous at first that he didn't come to help, everything seemed to be smooth after he joined the group.

Feeling her confusion about the film's character creation and the direction of the main line, he helped her summarize this sentence on the title page of the notebook.

'An adventure for Callebo, a rebirth for May'.

In his opinion, the core of both the story and the characters of "Blood Corpse Night" should be closely focused on these two points. was woken up by him like this, and she really gradually straightened out a lot of things.

When she was on the crew of "Lola Run", she only helped him with some trivial logistics. He is in the crew of "Blood Corpse Night", but he is like a patient teacher who personally holds the child's little hand and helps him learn to draw little by little.

Whenever he had a problem, he would always say in a suggestive tone: "Maybe it could be ...... like this"

Very patient.

She's really benefited a lot from this time.

However, she knew very well what a controlling guy he was. Perhaps, he has had countless thoughts in his heart of ousting his stupid woman from the director's position and doing it himself.

Little bastard.

I must have thought so.

Thinking so unreasonably, but realizing that he was leaving tomorrow. The crew will soon switch to normal daytime shooting, and there are still a lot of location scenes, he continues to stay in the crew, surrounded by a large group of media reporters, and there is no way to continue filming.

Alas.

I sighed softly in my heart.

With the success of "Lola Run", he is already a Hollywood A-list director no matter what. Expected to exceed $150 million at the North American box office, being able to do this, no one will fail to recognize his ability and status.

The down-and-out teenager she met for the first time on the bus last year seemed to have left everyone far away in the blink of an eye, so that she could only look up.

With these thoughts flashing through my heart, I suddenly wanted to go over and talk to him.

He lives next door to him.

However, even if she didn't mean anything else at all, she immediately dispelled this idea when she thought of those media reporters.

Although it was already past three o'clock in the morning, there was no guarantee that the reporters who could do anything crazy for the sake of the news would still be crouching outside. The hotel has an open concave layout, with more than a dozen rooms facing the wide road, and any room can be easily seen by people entering or leaving.

If it is discovered, it is completely unclear.

During this time, many media have begun to spread the gossip about her and Simon. I happened to read a few articles, and I felt weird in my heart, and I was a little worried about Jenny's reaction, but I could only pretend to be nothing in front of others.

So he sighed again.

She's still inferior to Jenny in the end.

lazily grabbed the man she wanted, but she would only be timid.

Thinking like this, some small impulses suddenly arise.

So he raised his hand.

Knocked lightly on the wooden wall.

Knock knock.

The heart also accelerated with a thud.

But.

Wait a moment.

The other side did not respond.

is a little lost, and I can't help but give birth to some small rebellions.

Raise your hand again.

Knock knock.

Finally, a voice came from next door, obviously with a smile: "The night is long, I have no intention of sleeping, ma'am, do you need me to break through the wall?"

Reading the strange tone of poetry, I don't know where the sentences were translated, with ridicule, suddenly made her blush. Hearing him say that he was going to break through the wall, his heart suddenly lifted again, and he blurted out: "You dare!"

"Then go to bed obediently, it's so late, I thought it was a rat." ”

"You're the mouse. ”

"I haven't made a hole for so long, and it's obviously a very gentlemanly rat. ”

"Phew. ”

"Okay, don't make a fuss, hurry up and go to bed. ”

So he lay down with a little satisfaction, pulled up the quilt, and turned off the lamp. Thinking of his voice like coaxing a little girl, he still whispered: "Little bastard." ”
