Although we have made preparations, the ensuing storm of public opinion is even more fierce than people think.

After the article in the New York Times splashed a spark, it seemed that suddenly, many media had questioned the surprise and appreciation of Lola Run.

In fact, this kind of doubt has existed since the release of "Lola Run".

In any case, it seems strange that a young man who is only 18 years old and has no chance to enter a regular film academy suddenly makes an excellent film like "Lola Run".

However, before the article in the New York Times, everyone was coerced by an atmosphere of admiration and worship for gifted teenagers. Even if someone raises an objection, it is often regarded as jealousy.

Now, authoritative newspapers such as the New York Times, which have a strong influence all over the world, take the lead in raising doubts. Coupled with the secret promotion of intentional people, those remarks that were originally suppressed by the mainstream wind are all noisy.

"Puppet or genius? It's very difficult to perform the core position of "Lola Run."

"The analysis of film soundtrack process, on why Simon westero can not personally complete the film soundtrack of" Lola Run. "

"Amazing lens, false behind the scenes."

"The 18-year-old scam cheated the entire federal film marketing at one time."

"Simon westlow high school classmate: he works hard, but he can't be a film director."

"The real" capital "and" technology "of Lola Run is Janet Johnston, daughter of a tycoon, and Katherine Bigelow, a top student of Columbia film school. "

"

"Lola Run's headlights accuse Simon westero of being a fool."

“……”

“……”

For a while, not only newspapers, but also major radio and television stations in North America took part in the discussion, and began to be keen to find various evidences that Simon westero could not have the ability to shoot "Lola Run". In a short time, San Jose, where Simon lived as a child, welcomed many reporters from all over the country again, and the number of reporters gathered outside Simon's mansion also increased It's expanding again.

Simon's team, on the other hand, quickly hit back.

However, there is no rush to clarify the facts, but to point the finger at mark Hollington, who published the questioning article in the New York Times.

After such a fight, mark Hollington, who was unable to resist, suddenly fell silent.

However, since the storm of public opinion has been set off, it is impossible to eliminate it easily.

In the next few days, through more detailed excavation of Simon's growth history, through the analysis of the film content of "Lola Run", and even through the information provided by some messy "Hollywood insiders", all kinds of doubts still poured in.

Simon, with the help of wma, fox pictures, Orion pictures and so on, has also come to see me.

At the same time, some Hollywood insiders, such as Brian De Palma, David giller, Robert Redford and so on, who have a good relationship with Simon, have begun to speak up for Simon.

In addition, after two days of urgent negotiations, fox President Ronald Goldberg approved Amy Pascal's resignation application in advance.

Denise pictures immediately held a press conference to announce that Amy Pascal, the former vice president of fox pictures, will join Denise pictures as the president of the company.

The announcement of this news has undoubtedly strengthened the public's confidence in Simon under the influence of all kinds of bombarding questioning news. After all, if Simon were just a young man with only his own appearance, it would be impossible to recruit a vice president of a big film company to work for him.

However, soon some newspapers took the initiative to expose the "truth" and claimed that Amy Pascal's job hopping was just to take charge of "death is coming", which is about to be invested by Fox pictures and is being "produced" by Simon westero. This just shows that Fox pictures has doubts about Simon westero's ability.

It's been tossing around until Friday, March 13.

Many things have come to a critical point.

Because on this day, the box office data of the 10th film week in 1987 was officially released.

The media disturbance on weekdays inevitably made many ordinary people doubt the truth behind the scenes of "Lola Run", but in just a few days, the box office of the film was not greatly affected.

In the new week, the box office figure of "Lola Run" finally reached $25.62 million, with a total of $57.71 million.

Obviously, just the first week's nationwide release almost doubled the North American box office of "Lola Run.". In the next two to three weeks, as long as there is no big drop, the total box office of "Lola Run" will break through the $100 million mark.

"Lola Run" is still followed by "lethal weapon".

The $15 million blockbuster grossed $8.82 million in its first week.Although the screen size is more than 100 yuan and the reputation is not bad, the box office appeal of "lethal weapon" is obviously far less than that of "event movie" such as "Lola Run". Naturally, the box office size is only one-third of that.

Even after "field platoon", "ghost Street 3" and "angel heart" were included, the total box office of the last four films in the top five in the ticket room this week was only $27.63 million, which was only equivalent to that of "Lola Run".

In the afternoon.

Cliff House in palisade, Los Angeles.

Katherine Bigelow took the coffee from Janet, sat down beside her like a little girl, laughed and hid from her, and then said to Simon on the other side of the sofa, "haven't you been out these days?"

Simon looked at Katherine, who came back from Arizona in a dusty way. He was very moved.

During this period, although there are a lot of troubles in the media, many people I have known in the past six months, such as Brian De Palma, David giller, Sandra Bullock, Jonathan Friedman and so on, are providing him with enough concern and support.

Although Simon has a calm mind of two generations, he has accumulated a lot of negative emotions under the crazy questioning of the media. It is these people's concern that makes Simon's mind and nature not affected much.

Hearing the woman's question, Simon nodded and said, "yes, I can't do anything outside anyway. I just stay at home."

In recent days, the number of journalists outside Simon's mansion has not decreased at all.

In order to avoid these troubles, Simon either contacted the outside world by telephone, or Mike medova, pat Kingsley and others came to him personally. He didn't go out at all.

It's really quieting. However, a lot of Simon's work has basically stopped.

Although Ronald Goldberg approved Amy's resignation application in advance for his own interests, fox delayed signing the "death is coming" contract as soon as possible.

For the butterfly effect in a month's time, although fox will not secretly do the same thing as other people and offer help, he is obviously watching the follow-up development of the situation.

To be fair, this matter continues until now. No matter what the result is, Simon will be hard to get rid of the doubt for a long time. Some things, even if they are false, are said ten thousand times, but they are doomed to be self-cleaning.

Catherine held the coffee cup, saw Simon look at himself, slightly sidelong eyes, said: "well, what are you going to do next?"

"It's time to end this," Simon replied. "I'm going to New York tomorrow, and I've contacted NBC's tonight show, which is scheduled for next Monday. I'll make some explanations and statements on the show then."

Although Catherine did not encounter the situation under her eyes, she also felt that this kind of thing could not end so easily. She asked, "is that ok?"

"There will certainly be follow-up media action," Simon said to Catherine with a reassuring look, and then asked about the woman's own affairs: "what about you? I remember that this week's closure happened to be on the schedule, right?"

Katherine nodded and said, "but I'll go to Oklahoma next week to get some location shots, and then I'll go back to Los Angeles for post production."

The story of blood corpse night takes place in Oklahoma, but due to the climate, tax rebate and other reasons, the shooting location is Arizona. In order not to appear too complicated, it really needs some location supplement.

Simon said, "I'll help you later."

Katherine grinned shyly and said, "I'm sure some people will say that my movie wasn't made by Katherine Bigelow."

Simon laughed and said, "it's just right. I happen to have this kind of trouble, too."

After chatting for a while, Jonathan Friedman, Mike medova, pat Kingsley, Amy Pascal and others came to Simon's house one after another. I'm going to New York tomorrow, so it's impossible for all of you to go. This afternoon, I just want to sort out the next coping strategies.
