Chapter 600

"So, Simon, you write a song for me, and I can be a guest of the show for free at the end of the year, OK?"

"I'm sorry, Maggie, there are no performers on the show."

"That's why it's a good idea. If you invite performers, the popularity of the show will be higher. You should thank me for coming up with such a good idea for you."

"Thank you, Maggie. Maybe you can talk to other people about something else."

In the private bar of the villa, Madonna tried her best, but Simon was still indifferent and had to give up. Instead, he pulled up the man and said, "OK, let's go dancing, Simon. You're so rich. There's no need to talk about work during the party time."

Madonna is small but strong, and Simon knows that it's impossible to continue the conversation with doechman. He stands up with her strength.

There were more than a dozen people on the dance floor of the bar rocking slowly with soft music.

Madonna takes Simon to the dance floor and raises her hand to the DJ not far away: "Hey, have a strong song."

Although it is a private bar, it is well equipped.

A moment later, the sound of dynamic music sounded, and the surrounding lights also flickered.

After all, this body is young, Simon is not a person who can't play. Seeing Madonna dancing in front of him like a wild cat, he also sways with the music. Noticing that Natasha henschucci was standing by the pool with a slight hesitation, Simon made a sign to her, and the girl immediately came up to Simon.

When Madonna sees Simon holding Natasha's waist and hanging herself aside, she is obviously a little upset. Instead of trying to squeeze Natasha away, she begins to try to snatch the girl away from Simon.

The queen is a man and a woman.

However, the height difference between the two women is almost 20 cm, and Natasha doesn't cooperate. It's not easy for Madonna to succeed.

Simon finds out Madonna's intention, smiles, reaches for her hand, grabs another girl who tries to stick it on him, and gently pushes it to Madonna. The queen is not polite, so she won't let go after taking it.

After more than ten minutes of music, Simon pulls Natasha away from the dance floor. Redford and doichman are no longer here. There are more people in the bar than just now. The sofa card seat beside the billiards table has also been replaced, but the concave card seat is only occupied on both sides, and the spare side is obviously left for Simon.

Simon knows all the people in the card seat.

On the innermost side with enough room for four people are Hugh Grant, the hero of Four Weddings and a funeral, his girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley and danielis entertainment. Next to David Russell and Jeremy Davis, the director of this year's "beating the monkey", is rob, the Mexican director who was discovered by danielis entertainment last year Robert Rodriguez, his royal actress Salma Hayek, and Quentin, who are already familiar with Rodriguez, didn't come to park city because of the fact that "water dog" came back empty handed in Sundance.

Simons, not unfamiliar with the crowd, said hello and sat down with Natasha.

Basically, it's the first time to meet each other. Even though they were introduced at the beginning of the party, we are still quite surprised that Simon can easily name them. After all, they are still unknown little people in Hollywood at this time. Simon certainly does not have super strong memory, but too many memories in his mind are mostly related to Hollywood. At present, these people are not unknown, and it is normal to recognize them.

Everyone was chatting casually when Madonna came over again with a girl.

The light here is bright. Simon can see the girl she just pushed to Queen Mai. She has a pure face, black hair, fair skin, light eyes, just right small mouth. She feels like Winona Ryder, but she is a little more charming than Winona Ryder.

At a glance, Simon can be sure that the girl should have Russian blood.

It's true.

Because Simon quickly searched his mind for each other's name: Mia koshner.

Koshna, a typical Russian surname.

Without concealing his eyes, Simon looked at the girl and patted her in the spare place beside her: "come on, sit here. What's your name?"

There are a lot of guests this evening. Before that, I only had to say hello to some people who need to meet under Alison's arrangement, but the girl in front of me can't get in the line of Simon's personal greetings. Therefore, even if I think of each other's name, I still have to pretend I don't know each other.

Mia koshner had just been pushed to Madonna by Simon. She was very much eaten by the queen on the dance floor. She had some complaints. At this time, when she heard westero calling her to sit down, she involuntarily stepped forward and carefully sat down beside her. Thinking of the man's question, she said: "mia, Mr. westero, my name is Mia koshner 。”

The waiter came with a tray.

Simon took two cocktails, one to Natasha, who was looking a little grumpy on his left, and the other to Mia koshner. He looked at the baby's fat face, stopped and asked, "are you an adult?"Mia koshner raised her little hand to catch the glass and explained, "19, Mr. westlow. I'm 19."

Simon took the glass back with a smile. "Still can't drink," he said, gesturing to the waiter, "bring a glass of juice to this lady."

Natasha on the other side is more depressed.

I am 19 years old, half a year away from 20 years old.

I can't help but see that the opposite Mia koshner is about 1.6 meters small as Madonna. With her pure and tender face, it's easy to be mistaken for a little girl. She can't be compared with a model who is close to 1.8 meters tall.

A lot of people in the bar are watching Simon's side.

As for westrow, who is already carrying a large vase with a score of 90, but can easily reach a little beauty, we can only envy her. No one dares to make up her mind about Natasha henstretch. Mia koshner was originally the target for many people to chat up. This little beauty, who can easily score more than 80, has a special combination of pure and charming The temperament is very striking.

A 19-year-old actor who is not well-known can't get into a westero party.

Mia koshner is the heroine of the last film named "sexy club" in Sundance. This is a Canadian film about the story between a middle-aged detective who indulges in the sad past and a dancer who is very similar to his dead daughter. Mia koshner plays Christina as the heroine.

Gaomen pictures is very interested in the film and is negotiating with the producer about the copyright. The director and producer of the film got an invitation to the party tonight. Mia koshner was brought into the party with some different ideas by the film producer Robert langsto. She dreamed that she could get started after the party tonight. Unexpectedly, the little girl was taken by westero.

The original idea of natural no play.

Not far from the card seat, Robert langsto, sitting at the bar, looked up and drank the whisky in the glass. He suddenly realized that the dissatisfaction seemed to be obvious. He quickly restrained himself, carefully put down the glass, and did not dare to look at westrow again.

If you knew it, you should have done it earlier.

And the girl just wanted to go dancing should not let each other leave, the purpose is so obvious.

A girl who can mingle in this kind of circle is a joke if she doesn't have any ingenuity.

On the couch, Simon just ordered a glass of juice for MIA koshner, and then talked to David Russell, the director of monkey beating, about his new play, flirting with disaster.

David Russell in my memory is a controversial director in Hollywood.

The film maker's two Oscar hit films "the happiness line behind the dark clouds" and "the American hoax" are regarded by many audiences as unworthy of the name. Fans think that most of the highlights of the film are due to the wonderful performances of excellent actors such as Christian bell, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.

In Simon's view, David Russell's works are easy to give full play to the actors, but they do lack the strength to make the film a classic.

This may have something to do with Russell's personal experience of his late success.

Hollywood is a grindstone for many talented filmmakers, but most of them are not sharpening, but gradually getting rid of the original edges and corners in various frame specifications.

That's David Russell.

The new director of this year's Sundance is actually 35 years old, approaching middle age.

At a very young age, he began to ignite his interest in film through super eight cameras. After graduating from university in the early 1980s, David Russell kept trying to enter the film industry. After more than ten years, he finally started his first feature film last year.

What's more, the original budget of "beating the monkey" was only $200000. After gaomen movie took a fancy to the script, the budget only increased to $1 million. It still can't hire any big names to join. The slightly loose budget can only make the film lens, soundtrack and other aspects more refined.

In fact, the final debut is also a compromise work.

Simon has seen the film in advance.

David Russell chose a sensitive topic which is easy to attract the audience's attention, which actually has obvious ingenuity in it.

However, as a film involving mother and son taboos, Russell's description of this aspect is quite far from the end, and the ending of the story is very peaceful. The hero wants to commit suicide because of his guilt, but he can't succeed. He wants to strangle his mother and lure him to death, but he can't be cruel. In the end, he just runs away, which leads to the lack of a kind of shocking impact.

In this respect, it is also this term of Sundance, David Russell and another new director Kevin Smith form a sharp contrast.

Kevin Smith is only 23 years old. He spent more than 20000 dollars to write and direct "crazy shop assistant", which is highly praised in this year's Film Festival. Unlike the peaceful compromise of "beating monkey", crazy shop assistant has a very sharp personal style. Smith made a pungent mockery of all aspects of the society through a day's experience of an unlucky convenience store salesperson, and made a good impression No taboo sex and dirty words, full of scale.In the original time and space, after he became famous with crazy shop assistant, Kevin Smith still maintained his personal style for a long time. In 1999, the invasion of mainstream religion in America by angry man tiantiao angered many people.

Because of this sharpness, Smith was unable to integrate into the mainstream Hollywood circle from the beginning to the end.

As a super comic fan who opened his own comic shop after becoming famous, Smith expressed interest in many superhero projects. However, because of the studio's scruples about Smith's personal style, he never had the chance to make a superhero movie. The director can only enjoy directing a few episodes of Warner's super British TV series.

Gaomen pictures has also bought the rights to "crazy assistant.".

However, as the boss of Hollywood's largest studio at this stage, Simon also doesn't value the cooperation with Smith in the future, and Denise entertainment won't shoot such films as "the curse of heaven". The taboo theme of "beating the monkey" or the B-level movie madman like Quentin and Rodriguez may only cause the discomfort of some of the guardians, but it is against the values of most Americans at this stage.

Unlike many years later, in the United States in the early 1990s, it was very unusual to have no faith.

All in all, in this term of Sundance, what Simon valued most was David Russell.

In terms of the film quality of "beating the monkey", David Russell's first work has a super high degree of completion which is difficult for other directors to achieve in their first attempt. The story is complete and fluent, the editing and soundtrack is beyond the standard, the film lens is full of personal style, and the performances of several actors are remarkable. All these are enough to prove Russell's very solid film skills.

Having such film skills and personal style, and being able to make appropriate compromises when the studio needs them, is the kind of director most valued by mainstream Hollywood.

This kind of filmmaker, as long as he has enough excellent scripts and enough excellent creative team, may not be able to create classics, but it is not difficult to succeed in business.

What's more, Hollywood classics have always been magic hands.

No matter Star Wars and terminator, or godfather and Forrest Gump, the main creators never thought they would become phenomenal classics before shooting.

With the support of Weinstein, David Russell once reached the peak of his career by relying on "the line of happiness behind the dark clouds" 20 years later. Now that he knows the direction of the director's theme, Simon can give such support to the other party now, and he doesn't have to ask the other party for another 20 years.

With enough space, Russell is not impossible to create a film history classic.

“…… The key problem is that there are too many things you want to express in this play, such as hippie movement, same-sex marriage, federal adoption system and so on. The attention to these elements will make the audience unable to concentrate. Therefore, first of all, you need to cut the branch lines and focus on the discussion of modern family relations. Do something about this, and you are expected to get some success in the future If a screenwriter nominated for an Oscar stays in the current state, the audience will only see a noisy comedy which is not too funny.... "

People around listen to Simon patiently analyze David Russell's new play "flirting with disaster", with obvious envy in their eyes.

Although Simon has not directed films in recent years, no one on the scene will doubt his genius in films. David Russell is eager to take a pen and write down all Simon's suggestions. For Simon's modification suggestions, even if he hesitates because of the creator's instinctive reserve, he has to admit the correctness of Simon's suggestions .
