Chapter 461

Simon lives in four wooden houses on a hill southeast of Park City. One of them is the owner's house, and the other three are surrounded by bodyguards and other attendants.

I don't know when Simon never left his bodyguard.

To Simon's present wealth status, it is doomed to pay close attention to his own security. The world is not as peaceful as ordinary people think.

Arriving in park city at noon on Saturday is followed by a series of schedules.

In the evening, I accompanied Katherine to a gathering of filmmakers organized by Robert Redford. I didn't return to my residence on the hill until more than ten o'clock.

The SUV, which is very suitable for driving in Park City, quietly stops in front of the cottage. Simon and Catherine get off together and are immediately surrounded by the strong chill of the night.

However, at the foot of the mountain, because of the popularity of the Sundance Film Festival, park city is still a bustling scene with brilliant lights.

In recent years, not only filmmakers, but every Sundance Film Festival has gradually developed towards a comprehensive gathering in the entertainment industry. Not only filmmakers, but also music and fashion circles have begun to join in the fun.

Simon and Katherine went into the cabin together. Zoe parks and Isabel Dunn, two maids who came with them, had set the fireplace on fire ahead of time and prepared hot coffee to make the cabin warm.

Abd three girls have received training in baby care in advance, because to help Janet look after her children, they will not leave domay point manor now.

If Simon wants to be taken care of, he can only choose from the new maid team brought by the housekeeper.

Speaking of all, after the last spy incident, Simon told Janet to carry out background investigation on the girls around her again. The result was pretty good. Probably because the time was too short, there was nothing wrong with these girls.

As for the people around Simon, they have been basically checked out.

Simon didn't touch these exposed guys just because he was worried that one batch would be sent away and another batch would be sure to come.

Catherine didn't ask Zoe parks to help. She took off her thick down jacket and hung it on the hanger beside her. At last, she glared at Simon. She obviously saw the girl with a big chest rubbing her body against the man when she was picking up Simon's clothes.

Simon pretended not to notice the woman's eyes. When Isabel hung up her windbreaker, he said, "you go and have a rest. Besides, there's no need to get up too early tomorrow morning. Catherine and I will prepare breakfast by ourselves."

The two women, aware of Catherine's breath, knew that they would not have any chance tonight, so they took the initiative to step down.

Simon took the coffee prepared by the two maids to the tea table in front of the fireplace, poured a cup in person, handed it to Katherine who sat down on the sofa, and said with a smile, "don't blame me. In fact, Jennie was jealous and sent two light bulbs to disturb us."

Catherine took the coffee and held it in her hand, but she just threw Simon a white eye.

In fact, Janet's original words are that Simon's life skills have deteriorated severely in the past two years, and no one will take care of him, so he may starve to death. So Zoe and Isabel are allowed to follow him.

Of course, there must be some women jealous.

If you want to look after the children at home, but a man goes to date his best friend, even if you really don't care, you always have to express your attitude.

Catherine didn't answer. Simon just laughed. He poured a cup of coffee and sat down beside the woman.

If she is really angry, Catherine should be sitting on the sofa next to her.

Just now, the woman took the initiative to sit down on the double sofa facing the fireplace. This kind of small detail is easy to find.

Simon came over and seemed to feel that her mind had been pierced. Some embarrassment flashed on Catherine's face. She deliberately dodged aside, as if she wanted to draw a line with Simon.

Of course, we can't let her succeed.

The woman stepped back, Simon cheekily and decisively pushed against her, and then he was lost a white eye again.

Sipping the hot coffee in his hand, Simon found the topic and said, "you know that" drowning dog "is a project of gaomen film industry. It's too much that you didn't give any awards this time."

"Drowning dog" is Quentin's famous work.

Although he took away vulgar novel in advance, some things have not changed.

In recent years, gaomen film has maintained a very close cooperative relationship with Sundance. Quentin happened to attend the training course held by Sundance Institute last year.

As a result, the script of "drowning dog" appeared in Simon's hands as early as last year.

Gaomen pictures naturally won the project, and also promoted the cooperation between Harvey Kittel and Quentin, who just finished "farewell to the piano".

The budget cost of the film has risen from $1.2 million in Simon's memory to $2.5 million due to the participation of the big studio danilisi entertainment. "Drowning dog" has also become the main competition unit of gaomen film in Sundance Film Festival this year.Of course, Simon won't be involved in a small production project of 2.5 million dollars, so he didn't watch the film until before the festival.

Although tomorrow is the closing ceremony, the award results of Sundance have been published two days before.

The organizers also issued a notice to the winning crew to remind them to attend the closing ceremony tomorrow.

Although it is clear that the little man around is not really criticizing herself, Catherine seriously explained: "everyone doesn't like the violence shown in this film very much."

Simon asked with a smile, "what do you think of the film?"

"The narrative structure is very unique, but I don't quite understand what the director wants to express through this story."

Simon leaned back on the sofa in a more comfortable position, looked at Catherine in her black turtleneck and jeans and said, "so you're not really a filmmaker."

Catherine did not understand, but also involuntarily showed some instinctive dissatisfaction from women, staring at the little man beside her.

I've got an Oscar nomination for best director after all.

Not a filmmaker.

Well, what is that?

Simon didn't immediately continue the topic. He motioned to the lady's boots on Catherine's feet and said, "I'm still wearing this in the room. If it's cold, take off the warm feet."

Catherine looked at the boots on her feet, knocked them on the floor twice, and leaned her calf slightly: "help me take them off."

"No problem."

Simon is very simple, put the coffee cup on the coffee table, reached out to catch the woman's long legs and brought them over.

Katherine's body was tilted by Simon. She carefully protected the coffee in her hand before spilling it. She looked at the little man angrily. She took off her boots and even took off her socks.

Shoes and socks are new, Katherine is also a very clean person, feet and no taste, do not worry about let Simon have a bad impression.

However, when her shoes and socks were taken off, she immediately pulled back the feet that the man had put on his knees. Instead of stepping on the floor, she sat on her side and buried her feet beside the man. When he regained his coffee, he asked, "why am I not a filmmaker?"

"In my opinion, a real filmmaker should express what he wants to express. The director of "the drowning dog" did it very well. You don't understand what his films want to express, but they are bound by traditional thinking. It's a serious misunderstanding that a film should show some viewpoint value and social significance. "

Catherine listened carefully, trying to retort, only to find that Simon's words were very reasonable.

She studies art.

Take painting as an example, the paintings of many outstanding artists are really just showing their own inner thoughts, and they do not have to instill some ideas into outsiders.

However, this has not affected many works to become classics handed down from generation to generation.

Movies, it seems, should be the same.

Think about yourself.

The first cinema feature film "night of blood corpse" tells an alternative vampire love story, which is not her favorite subject. But a woman who wants to be a director doesn't have much choice in Hollywood.

In the following "Thunderbolt Blue Angel", "startle point" and even the latest "dead end flower", she is actually instilling her own will into the film.

However, this kind of display, in fact, is not a success.

For example, this time, she thinks that she has made her own style.

However, the awakening concept of feminism at the core of the film comes more from the story writer than from her director.

Thinking of this, Catherine couldn't help looking at Simon beside her.

Not to mention the screenwriter's works, he personally directed "Lola Run", "vulgar novel" and even "Batman: the moment of war" with a strong commercial nature. Although the styles and themes are different, the film itself has a strong personal will.

After watching these films, it's easy for the audience to remember this film. Every time they mention it later, everyone will say that it's a Simon westero film.

Let's go back to blood corpse night and other movies.

If it wasn't for her, the female director is relatively rare in Hollywood. After watching the film, it would be hard for the audience to remember who the director is.

Simon looked at Catherine's enlightened expression and said with a smile, "is it very frustrating? I think life is a failure. I can't love you. Here, I'll lend you my shoulder."

Decisively, she kicked him again. Thinking for a moment, Catherine said, "well, what should I do?"

"Find some subjects you really want to shoot, even if you don't write the script yourself, you can also design the outline yourself and make something that really belongs to you."

Katherine fell into thinking again.

Then she was a little frightened to find that she didn't know what she wanted to shoot.Her age.

I don't even want to think about it in front of Simon.

However, due to the erosion of the real social environment, it is difficult for her to have many naive and simple ideas like the young people who have just entered the society.

Why did you change from art major to film major?

It's because she was awakened by a tutor. She thinks that compared with painting, film can show many things in a more three-dimensional way.

And then they're all in it.

The reality is always unsatisfactory.

Most Hollywood directors are usually 30 years old before they can direct their first movie. What's more, she is still a woman.

Ten years ago, before blood corpse night, she only completed her first full-length film "heartless" in 1981 with the support of some film funds. The film did not cause many waves, and then all kinds of delays.

How many dreams in the world can stand the time?

How many people, like the little man around, can be born in the sky, amazing. When many of his peers have not sorted out their own future, he has left the whole world far behind.

With that in mind, Catherine looked at Simon and couldn't help shaking her head. "I, I don't know what to do."

Simon looked at Katherine's dispirited appearance. He leaned over and took the woman's feet away from him. He put his legs on his thighs and hugged them. He said, "no one feels that he should do anything from the beginning. Only those who have experienced and seen the shortcomings of the world and want to change will work hard in the direction they want to change. So next, you can take a serious look at the world. "

Catherine did not answer, as if waiting for Simon to continue.

Simon then said, "what do you think is my goal in life?"

Catherine said with a slight smile, "Jennie told me you want to rule the world."

"Did Jennie tell you about her dream?"

"Said, destroy the world."

"Well, you can endure that you haven't killed me to protect human beings. It seems that you really like me."

Catherine gave Simon another embarrassed kick.

Simon pressed the woman's calf, rubbed the rough jeans fabric, and continued: "in fact, my view of the world is very pessimistic. I think that human beings will eventually go to self destruction, and the time limit is not too long. So, it's boring to rule the world. Even if you can do it on the surface, you can't control all the people

"Control, you're more dangerous than Jennie said."

"When you have enough ability and get used to it, you will think that some things are boring."

"Well?"

Perceiving that Catherine seems to be more confused by herself, Simon smiles and says, "you are different from me and Jennie, the two potential anti social elements. You should hope that the world, or at least the country, will become better. This is a common concept shared by ordinary people who have lived in a social environment for a long time."

Catherine paused and nodded.

It's kind of weird.

Simon just used a "human.".

The word can be translated as human, or human.

Catherine felt inexplicably that Simon's word, translated as "human", seemed more appropriate.

Isn't "non-human" the counterpart of "human"?

In fact, I saw with my own eyes that he had done so many things that maybe only "non-human" could accomplish.

Simon, of course, couldn't figure out what a woman was thinking and continued: "so, you can spend a year or two, and you don't have to rush to make a new film. You can take a serious look at the world and find out what you think people need to remember or change, which can also arouse your personal sympathy. And then we'll use it as a theme to prepare for our next film. "
