Chapter 023

Simon arrived at Griffin's supermarket early in the morning on Thursday.

After yesterday's press conference, the packaging project of "Butterfly Effect" will not change any more, and relevant contracts will be signed one after another next week.

According to the Hollywood script trading process, within one week of signing the contract, Simon will be able to get $140000 for the first script and an option deposit for the next two scripts. The subsequent $60000 balance will require Simon to modify and polish the script according to the requirements of the film company before settlement can be made one after another.

Simon took the paper, scanned it. It was the Los Angeles Times, and then he noticed the title of the article Roger had just pointed to.

What does "Butterfly Effect" mean? 》

to Simon's surprise, Peter Butler found the source of the butterfly effect. In this era of no Internet search engine, it's not easy to do this.

After spending some time explaining the meaning of "Butterfly Effect", Peter Butler began to guess the story content of the play. Combined with wma's selection of Bryan De Palma as the director and other information, the final conclusion is that "Butterfly Effect" is likely to be a crime thriller that causes a series of serious events under certain opportunities.

If that's all the content of the article, Simon won't care too much.

Peter Butler's conjecture has little to do with the true story of the butterfly effect.

However, to Simon's surprise, Peter Butler specially mentioned his name in his article, and was curious about the surname "westero". He claimed that he had inquired a lot of information, but could not find the relevant information of this surname. Therefore, he thought that "westero" was probably an original surname, an interesting original surname.

Roger Griffin saw Simon frowning at the newspaper in front of him. He didn't speak for a long time. He couldn't help but snap his finger in his ear and said, "Simon?"

Simon regained his mind from thinking and said, "Roger, maybe I'll have to take a day off tomorrow."

"No problem," Roger Griffin nodded. Although Simon's attitude was obviously tacit, he couldn't help asking, "so, is it really you?"

Simon handed Roger the paper again, nodded his head and said, "yes."

Roger Griffin heard Simon's confirmation, waved the newspaper he had just received, made a loud noise, and said, "well, the middle-aged man a few days ago, the vice president of wma mentioned in the newspaper these days, is, um What's the name again? And now, you have 200000 dollars? "

Simon looked at some stuttering Roger and said with a smile, "200000 dollars is not much for you. When this supermarket is in good business, the flow of water in a day can reach that number."

Although Griffin supermarket is not as large as Wal Mart, it is located in the most prosperous downtown of Santa Monica, and its business is still very good.

Roger Griffin shook his head and said with emotion, "turnover and profit are not the same thing at all. Besides, what I earn is hard money. How can you be so relaxed?"

Just then, several customers came one after another.

Noticing that the other cashiers had already lined up, the two stopped talking, and Roger Griffin went behind another empty one and played the cashier skillfully.

So busy until 3 p.m., Simon finished the shift and rode to wma headquarters. On the way, he bought a copy of today's Los Angeles Times.

Outside Jonathan Friedman's office, Simon still greets Irving Wright first.

"Simon, what are you doing here?" Owen Wright saw Simon appear with a warm smile on his face, then pointed to Jonathan's office door and said, "just a moment, Jonathan is talking to Sean young."

Simon said uncertainly, "Sean young, Rachel?"

Owen Wright got up and pulled a chair next to him, motioned Simon to sit down at his desk and confirmed, "yes, it's Rachel."

Simon just nodded. It was unexpected that Sean young would be Jonathan's client.

However, in addition to the amazing reproduction of Rachel in blade runner, Sean young has no other outstanding representative works.

Moreover, it is said that this woman is too fond of playing big names. Many Hollywood filmmakers don't like working with her. Eventually, the actress became popular for only a few years after "blade killer" and soon fell silent.

Simon just remembers that Sean young, who missed the role of cat girl due to falling horse injury during the shooting of Michael Keaton's Batman, also made a sensation in Hollywood because of his increasingly unsatisfactory career.

After the success of Batman, Warner launched the sequel Batman returns. During the film production, Sean young suddenly appeared outside Warner's set in his homemade poor Catwoman costume and made a lot of noise. He asked Warner to give the role of Catwoman to him again. However, he only got the title of "Hollywood madwoman" and completely destroyed the image of Rachel in many people's hearts.Recalling these things, Simon said to Owen Wright, "I don't know what clients Jonathan has. Owen, can you show me the list?"

"Sure," Owen Reid nodded, took a folder out of his desk drawer and handed it to Simon. "You can have a look."

Simon takes the folder and opens it.

Jonathan took the paper, scanned it, nodded and said, "Owen showed it to me in the morning. I think it's good for you, isn't it?"

Simon shook his head, thought about it and said, "Joe, there's one thing I need to explain to you about my experience before I came to Los Angeles."
