After attending the production conference, Simon spent the rest of his life revising the script.

Although he stayed at home and worked, Simon couldn't slack off at all. Every day, the crew would rush to take Simon's revised version away, and David giller and Brian De Palma would frequently exchange details with Simon by telephone.

The main creators of "Butterfly Effect" have been determined, and the funds are all in place, so the production cycle is very tight, and shooting is expected to start in early October.

Simon needs to complete the second edition of the script in the next three weeks. Then, one week before the shooting, according to the specific preparation of the project, Simon needs to adjust and revise some details of the script again. These are the two script modification tasks involved in Simon's contract with fox.

After completing these tasks, fox will continue to pay the remaining $60000, and Simon will fulfill his contract completely. In the future, if the producers want to modify the script again, they will need to sign a new contract and pay extra money.

While busy revising the script of butterfly effect, Simon did not give up the preparation of Lola Run.

Introduced by David giller, Simon hired a production assistant for $3000 to help him complete the detailed budget for "Lola Run.".

Simon originally wanted to do this job by himself, so he planned to accumulate some experience.

Those memories in my mind all come from professional technical talents. Although Simon had some production experience in his previous life, he was not suitable for Hollywood. This aspect can be said to be a short board of Simon.

It is because of this that Simon, after remembering the budget cost of "Lola Run" wrongly, even though he noticed something was wrong, he continued to do it as a newborn calf.

Fortunately, it turned out pretty good.

It's also a bit helpless to give up making a movie budget.

It will take a month for the subsequent revision of the butterfly effect. If Simon is going to complete a very trivial film budget, it may also take a month. Then it will take at least another month or two to raise money, set up a crew, select actors and so on.

Even if everything goes well and everything is ready, it will probably be December, Christmas and new year's day. In order to avoid frequent shutdown of the crew and increase the budget, Simon will have to postpone until the end of the year.

Now, 3000 dollars is all done.

Simon can get $60000 in a month's work. Hiring a production assistant for a month costs only $3000.

It's quite cost-effective.

Simon also realized that it was the king's way to work hard.

We give up the idea of doing everything by ourselves, and there is no delay in revising the script of "Butterfly Effect" and preparing "Lola Run". As long as we can get the funds, the film will be launched in October, and it will be completely completed before next year's Sundance Film Festival planned by Simon.

Simon has been working hard for two weeks, and good news has come from David giller. Orion pictures is very interested in "Lola Run". It happens that Brian De Palma's family is going to hold a reception this Saturday. Mike medova, President of Orion pictures, agrees to take time to have a chat with Simon at the reception.

Since he had to attend a formal occasion, Simon went out on Saturday morning and bought a formal suit and shoes.

Towards noon, Simon had just returned to his villa in Montana and was trying on the clothes he had bought in the morning when the doorbell rang.

Today is not a weekday. Simon doesn't know many people. He runs to open the door with some doubts. Then he sees Janet Johnston standing in front of the door with a handbag.

Today, women look a little more beautiful, wearing pink knee length skirt, stepping on white Leggings sandals, the whole person can not help but a little more girl's playful atmosphere.

However, Simon had already deeply realized the little terror that could break down at any time under the delicate appearance. He glanced at the woman in front of the door, looked around, and subconsciously asked, "where's Catherine?"

Janet was very dissatisfied with Simon's absent-minded attitude, but she dressed herself up. What do you think? Hearing Simon's question, he was even more angry: "it's interesting that Kate and I are not conjoined."

Simon had no choice but to nod his head. He had the impulse to close the door. He thought about the consequences and gave up. He turned aside and let Janet in. Then he asked, "what can I do for you, Jane?"

Janet didn't answer immediately. She made a small circle in the empty living room, blinked her eyes and asked Simon innocently, "where's the furniture?"

It's 2700 dollars a month. It's empty. Aunt, are you happy to ask like this? Don't you have a bad conscience?

Simon make complaints about his own secret: "yes, furniture?"

If it's your own house, it doesn't matter if it's empty. Just decorate and buy it slowly. But it's a rented house. Simon is a bachelor, so he doesn't have the heart to take care of it.After moving in, Simon simply bought some necessary furniture, such as office desks, chairs, wardrobes and mattresses, and left the rest empty.

During this period, Simon even contacted the real estate agent to try to sublet the house. However, a few potential tenants heard that there was no furniture in the villa and the price was so high, so they immediately gave up the idea of renting.

Now Simon has to wait patiently until his one-year contract expires and then check out.

Janet didn't seem to feel Simon's resentment, but suddenly she was happy again: "but it's OK. We can rearrange this place together."

Simon seized a word suspiciously: "we?"

"Yes, Simon and Janet. Does that sound like Bonnie and Clyde? "

Simon nodded, stepped forward and put his hand against Janet's back. "Come on."

Feeling Simon's broad palm gently pushing herself forward, Janet's white face turned red and obediently moved with Simon's strength, saying: "little bastard, it's noon now. But, well, the basement is not bad

Simon felt a black line float past his eyes, came to the door, opened the door, pushed the woman out and said, "Jennie, I'm glad you can come. Goodbye."

Janet stood at the door, blinked a few times, then turned around and looked at Simon standing in the door. I just looked at the strange way that you dare to close the door.

Simon really didn't dare to close the door. After such a confrontation for a moment, he was defeated and said, "Hey, Jennie, why are you here?"

Janet gave Simon a look of disdain, went back in, took out a 16 inch frame from her handbag, handed it to Simon and said, "here, coward."

All right.

It seems that I have another name.

Simon thought so, took over the frame and found that it was a very clumsy color pen painting. Several strange little people with extraterrestrial temperament stood on the grass hand in hand, surrounded by flowers and trees, with the sun and the moon hanging high overhead.

The whole picture is a child's work.

Then, after noticing the small words on the bottom right of the picture, Simon realized that it was a special thank-you letter from the United Nations Children's Fund. Thank Simon for his generous donation of $500000 to the foundation. This painting is also from a Latin American child who will be rescued.

Half a million dollars is obviously the compensation Simon received from Matthew Broderick some time ago.

Simon gave it to Catherine and asked her to donate it for herself. Although now "Lola Run" just lack of funds, Simon did not regret for the original move, he never took the money as his own. Simon would have forgotten about it if Janet hadn't sent the painting today.

Janet waited for Simon to look at her for a moment before she spoke again. Her tone became more normal and she said, "actually, there are some receipts and so on, but I guess you're not interested and just throw them away. I mounted the picture myself. How about that? "

Simon nodded and said, "that's good. Hang it up. There's a little decoration in the room."

"That's it. I'm done."

Janet took the frame out of Simon's hand and looked left and right. There was just a small hook on the wall opposite the door of the living room. It should have been left by the previous residents of the house. So he went over and hung up the picture frame in his hand.

She stepped back, looked at him for a moment, nodded with satisfaction, then went to Simon again, took his arm and said, "OK, let's go to lunch. It's your treat."

Simon was dragged out by Janet and suggested weakly, "in fact, there's enough spaghetti I cooked last night in the kitchen for both of us."

"Don't worry. I'll take it out for you when I get back."

"Well, can't you come back?"

"Kate has gone to Arizona. I live alone in Malibu. I'm afraid. I'll stay with you these days."

"It's not good for you, Jennie."

Janet patted Simon gently: "well, I'm joking with you, cowardly little boy."

When they walked out of the villa, the woman's wine red ford stopped by the side of the road. Simon seldom goes out these days, so he has no time to buy a car. At this time, he can only drive Janet's car to eat out.

Opening the door, Janet gives up the driver's seat to Simon and guides the boy all the way to a French restaurant near Brentwood country club.

After sitting down in the restaurant, Janet suddenly realized that Simon was wearing a very formal shirt, trousers and brand-new shoes. Before that, Simon had always been a casual T-shirt and jeans look. Simon is a typical clothes shelf. At the moment, this formal dress doesn't make people feel strange at all. Janet, who is a little nervous, hasn't noticed much.Now that this change has been discovered, Janet naturally gets to the bottom of it.

Then Simon had an extra girl to go with him to the party tonight.
