The preview of instinct was held at a cinema in Century City, Beverly Hills. Simon and Janet set out from Malibu to read Sophia fawcy's investigation report.
In my memory, there are too many cases of rich and famous people suffering from bad luck because of their bad luck. There are not a few people whose families are broken. Sophia fishy's affairs are closely related to Simon's private life. He is very cautious in this matter.
In the report, Simon was very satisfied with Sofia Fissi's resume.
A girl from an ordinary seaside town in Corsica, France, graduated from the tenth Public University of France, majoring in administration. According to the materials, this woman's achievements in the university are amazing. She graduated at the age of 22. After three years working in an investment company in Paris, she unexpectedly went to the Federal Institute of technology in Zurich, Switzerland, to study business administration. But only one year later, she dropped out of school and married her ex husband Paul Britney.
Paul Britney is a wine merchant. The Britney family owns their own wineries in popular wine producing areas such as Bordeaux, Provence and the Loire Valley. However, the marriage only lasted for three years and ended in failure. Sophia fawcy was given custody of a couple of children. In recent years, she worked as a luxury agent for a top real estate agency in nice, which is close to Cannes.
Simon flipped through the information in his hand. Janet leaned close to him and asked, "well, isn't that interesting?"
In addition to her main resume, the report also describes the marriage of Sophia Fischer to her ex husband, who is 11 years older than her, and the reasons for her divorce. In the process of divorce, the woman successfully won the custody of a couple of children because of Paul Britney's bad behavior of domestic violence, but the price she paid was only a one-time alimony of 5 million francs, which was paid in the end After a year of expensive litigation costs, there is little left.
Obviously, the businessman named Paul Britney was also a tough man with enough determination. According to the data, Sophia Fissi's children are only seven and five years old. With assets of more than 300 million francs, Paolo Bruni has not paid any maintenance for his children in recent years.
Simon heard Janet's question, put his hand on the woman's chin, and said with a smile, "you are from such a good family that you don't know how hard it is for a helpless little woman to walk all the way. Instead, you find it interesting."
"No," said Janet, shaking Simon's hand discontentedly, grabbing the investigation report, flipping through several pages, and then passing it back to him, "you see, it's the businessman who recently wants to take back the custody of the two little guys. He had an accident on a yacht two years ago. He should have lost his fertility. If you look at Sophia Fischer, it's no accident that she promised to work for you. She wants a strong support to protect herself from losing custody. "
Simon browsed through the pages of information in front of him, only laughed and said, "it's right for the boss to protect his employees. Since you are so interested in this matter, you can come forward when you need it."
Janet was really interested, with a small, evil look on her face, nodding and humming. Seeing that a woman is about to become an elite, Simon quickly reaches over and suppresses her. Janet softened with a smile when she was attacked.
Simon and Janet arrived outside a cinema on AMC line in Century City 10 minutes ahead of the audition at 7 o'clock.
In order to create momentum for publicity as much as possible, fox made the audition a big one, and specially arranged a section of the red carpet. A large number of media reporters and enthusiastic fans holding all kinds of posters gathered outside the cinema.
Simon and Janet get out of the car, and the originally orderly crowd is in a commotion. If it is not for the security, the crowd will almost rush to them. Seeing this, Simon didn't give an interview, but after taking photos, he rushed into the cinema with Janet.
Led by the staff, they first came to a rest room. Barry Diller, chairman of Fox company, and Ronald Goldberg, President of fox pictures, have arrived ahead of time. Besides several main creators of instinct, such as Brian De Palma and Michael Douglas, there are also several top film critics in the rest room.
The audition is about to start. We didn't have too much greetings. We soon entered the screening hall and sat down.
Simon took Janet and Barry Diller and others to a slightly front seat and scanned around. The medium-sized screening hall with more than 200 people was almost full, all of them were media reporters and film critics from all over North America. It can also be seen that fox film has spared no effort in order to make this audition, because most of the expenses such as accommodation and travel expenses are borne by fox.
In the dim light, the screening of the film began soon.
After a short and psychedelic opening, a passionate scene appeared in front of everyone, which caught many film critics off guard.
Simon's previous "vulgar novel" although it seems very bloody and violent, but from the beginning to the end there is no exposure.
However, this passionate scene is just the beginning. When a woman suddenly pulls out an ice pick and stabs the man mercilessly, blood splashes all over the place. Some media reporters and film critics in the screening hall are almost stunned.Is this Simon westero's play?
Is this the script written by Simon westero, who has created a series of "Lola Run", "Butterfly Effect", "death is coming" and even the recently amazing "vulgar novel"?
Not far from the main studio, Terence Lafferty, a famous film critic from the new Yorker, glances at the young man not far away when the opening plot is over, and asks Richard Hickel, the chief film critic of time, who is also frowning beside him: "is it possible that someone else's play has the name of westero?"
Richard Schickel also looked in one direction and shook his head. "I don't think westlogan would have put his name on this film if it wasn't for the contract with Fox pictures."
Terence Lafferty thought and nodded.
However, he soon felt that perhaps other well-known directors or writers would try their best not to associate themselves with controversial films, but westero, a young man who does not play cards according to common sense, may not care about these. "Vulgar novel" has also aroused great controversy during this period. A youth protection organization in New York state even protested to the state government for banning the film because of the straightforward description of drug injection in "vulgar novel".
Now, westero just wantonly squandered a handful of violence, and began to show his love.
I don't know what he's going to do next.
Terence Lafferty is actually a fan of Batman comics. Looking at some hints that can be seen everywhere in less than half an hour since the opening of the big screen, he is even worried that Simon westero will make Batman a R-rated film unsuitable for children.
God is so kind to that young man.
Maybe, this time, he should suffer some setbacks.
With such an idea in his heart, Terence Lafferty once again turned his attention to the big screen. Even if he had to criticize the film, he would definitely watch it carefully.
With all her energy, Terence Lafferty soon noticed the performance of the heroine Linda Fiorentino. He didn't know the name of the actress, but remembered that she played a strange artist in Martin Scorsese's after work.
Although very disgusted with the theme of the film, Terence Lafferty has to admit that like Sandra Bullock in Lola Run, Meg Ryan in when Harry meets Sally and Nicole Kidman in vulgar novel, Simon westero has once again picked the right heroine.
However, for the same reason, it may be difficult for the actress to get rid of her position in instinct.
In addition, the performance of Michael Douglas, the new film king, is also commendable, and the director Brian De Palma shows his preference for Hitchcock incisively and vividly in the film.
Moreover, in addition to the ubiquitous theme of sex, the core of the film is the same as the name of "instinct". In the final analysis, it shows the deep-rooted desire in human instinct driving a person's behavior. The heroine of snake and scorpion is also using human instinct to control the men around her. However, her behavior may also come from the dark instinct in human nature.
At the end of the screening, Terence Lafferty unconsciously found that if we remove the part about sex in this film, it is also a film worthy of taste. But turn to think, if you really remove those elements, this film, which is called "instinct", will lose too much color after all.
This is a proposition that cannot be both.
At the end of the film, the subtitles begin to rise, and Terence Lafferty is still reviewing the plot. Richard Schickel, who is next to him, suddenly comes up and whispers, "Roger left early."
Terence Lafferty was a little stunned before he remembered.
There may not be only one person named Roger in this screening hall, but the only person who can be identified by Richard Schickel without mentioning his surname is the famous Chicago film critic Roger Albert.
Because of preconceived ideas, Terence Lafferty still has some prejudice against the film he just saw, but in fact, he is no longer so disgusted. Out of the idea that some scholars despise each other, Terence Lafferty laughed a little jokingly and said, "it's normal that Roger Abbott doesn't like this kind of suspense thriller movie very much."
Terence Lafferty was very euphemistic, but Richard Schickel laughed knowingly.
As one of the few top film critics in North America, Roger Ebert's film review style has always been known for its gentleness, but only for some types of films, that is, the type of thriller and suspense.
In fact, there is an allusion. Many years ago, a high spirited young man intended to become a screenwriter and liked thrillers and suspense films. However, his scripts were rejected time and time again. As a result, he had to change his career and become a film critic. Because of his "tragic experience" as a screenwriter, the film critic, who became a semi monk and finally became a famous actor, was particularly harsh on the thriller and suspense films.With a smile, Richard Schickel saw that the subtitle on the big screen was coming to an end, and asked Terence Lafferty beside him, "are you going to Fox's reception next?"
Terence Lafferty hesitated. He was very interested in Simon westero. He planned to take this opportunity to have a chat with him. However, in the current situation, fox's reception is obviously of a public relations nature. If she attends the reception and is lobbied at it, Terence Lafferty will find it difficult to publish too harsh an opinion on instinct.
Although, after watching the whole film, Terence Lafferty's impression of instinct is not too bad, he is reluctant to be influenced by others.
Looking around, in addition to Roger Abbott, it is obvious that some other people in the screening hall have already left the show ahead of time. It is obvious that although they have received all kinds of entertainment from Fox pictures, a large number of people still express their attitude in this way. Maybe those people will not accept fox's return tickets in the future.
Looking back, Terence Lafferty nodded and said, "go ahead. I'm still very curious about that young man. Charlie, what about you?"
Richard Schickel nodded, "I'm going to go, too."
Before the movie was shown, Ronald Goldberg kept hearing from his assistant that someone was leaving early. It's true that Fox intends to adopt the propaganda strategy of controversial marketing, but at the end of the day, Ronald Goldberg is a little worried that if the reputation of instinct completely collapses, there will be no "controversy" in the future.
The reception was held at the InterContinental Century City hotel nearby.
More than three of the more than 200 film critics who attended the audition did not show up after the screening, which once again cast a shadow on Ronald Goldberg's mind. Last year's "Butterfly Effect" began, fox's performance suddenly improved, this year's summer file is the emergence of "over the future" such unexpected success. The company originally placed high hopes on instinct, and Ronald Goldberg also expected to accumulate a qualification with instinct and get a bonus before he officially leaves this autumn, so as to accumulate more capital for him to start a new company after leaving.
But now, the situation suddenly becomes uncertain.
After a warm shuttle in the crowd, Ronald Goldberg also roughly saw the strong polarization of the film critics on the whole, but at the same time, due to the high expectations of Simon westero, this kind of polarized word-of-mouth is actually more inclined to a critical one.
Obviously, instinct will be controversial next, but the word-of-mouth may become very bad.
Ronald Goldberg is not sure that the audience will pay for a controversial film with bad reputation, even if it's Simon westero's film, or especially because it's Simon westero's film.
With this worried mood, Ronald Goldberg went to Simon and Barry Diller who were chatting. Looking at their smiling faces, he couldn't help saying, "you don't seem to be worried at all."

Because of preconceived ideas, Terence Lafferty still has some prejudice against the film he just saw, but in fact, he is no longer so disgusted. Out of the idea that some scholars despise each other, Terence Lafferty laughed a little jokingly and said, "it's normal that Roger Abbott doesn't like this kind of suspense thriller movie very much." Terence Lafferty was very euphemistic, but Richard Schickel laughed knowingly. As one of the few top film critics in North America, Roger Ebert's film review style has always been known for its gentleness, but only for some types of films, that is, the type of thriller and suspense. In fact, there is an allusion. Many years ago, a high spirited young man intended to become a screenwriter and liked thrillers and suspense films. However, his scripts were rejected time and time again. As a result, he had to change his career and become a film critic. Because of his "tragic experience" as a screenwriter, the film critic, who became a semi monk and finally became a famous actor, was particularly harsh on the thriller and suspense films.With a smile, Richard Schickel saw that the subtitle on the big screen was coming to an end, and asked Terence Lafferty beside him, "are you going to Fox's reception next?" Terence Lafferty hesitated. He was very interested in Simon westero. He planned to take this opportunity to have a chat with him. However, in the current situation, fox's reception is obviously of a public relations nature. If she attends the reception and is lobbied at it, Terence Lafferty will find it difficult to publish too harsh an opinion on instinct. Although, after watching the whole film, Terence Lafferty's impression of instinct is not too bad, he is reluctant to be influenced by others. Looking around, in addition to Roger Abbott, it is obvious that some other people in the screening hall have already left the show ahead of time. It is obvious that although they have received all kinds of entertainment from Fox pictures, a large number of people still express their attitude in this way. Maybe those people will not accept fox's return tickets in the future. Looking back, Terence Lafferty nodded and said, "go ahead. I'm still very curious about that young man. Charlie, what about you?" Richard Schickel nodded, "I'm going to go, too." Before the movie was shown, Ronald Goldberg kept hearing from his assistant that someone was leaving early. It's true that Fox intends to adopt the propaganda strategy of controversial marketing, but at the end of the day, Ronald Goldberg is a little worried that if the reputation of instinct completely collapses, there will be no "controversy" in the future. The reception was held at the InterContinental Century City hotel nearby. More than three of the more than 200 film critics who attended the audition did not show up after the screening, which once again cast a shadow on Ronald Goldberg's mind. Last year's "Butterfly Effect" began, fox's performance suddenly improved, this year's summer file is the emergence of "over the future" such unexpected success. The company originally placed high hopes on instinct, and Ronald Goldberg also expected to accumulate a qualification with instinct and get a bonus before he officially leaves this autumn, so as to accumulate more capital for him to start a new company after leaving. But now, the situation suddenly becomes uncertain. After a warm shuttle in the crowd, Ronald Goldberg also roughly saw the strong polarization of the film critics on the whole, but at the same time, due to the high expectations of Simon westero, this kind of polarized word-of-mouth is actually more inclined to a critical one. Obviously, instinct will be controversial next, but the word-of-mouth may become very bad. Ronald Goldberg is not sure that the audience will pay for a controversial film with bad reputation, even if it's Simon westero's film, or especially because it's Simon westero's film. With this worried mood, Ronald Goldberg went to Simon and Barry Diller who were chatting. Looking at their smiling faces, he couldn't help saying, "you don't seem to be worried at all."
