Although preparations have been made, the public opinion storm that followed was more violent than everyone imagined.

After the article in the "New York Times" splashed a spark, it seemed that suddenly, many media's original surprise and admiration for "Lola Run" turned into doubts.

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

In any case, it seems a little too bizarre that a young man who was only 18 years old and had no chance of going to a formal film school suddenly made a good film like "Lola Run."

However, before the New York Times article, everyone was surrounded by an atmosphere of admiration and admiration for the genius boy. Even if someone objected, it was often seen as jealousy.

Now, authoritative newspapers such as The New York Times, which have a strong influence around the world, are the first to raise doubts. Coupled with the secret push of people with a heart, all those remarks that were originally suppressed by the mainstream wind direction are all noisy.

"Puppet or genius? The difficulty of executing the core positions of "Lola Run" is revealed."

"Analysis of the film soundtrack process, on why it is impossible for Simon Westeros to personally complete the "Lola Run" film soundtrack."

"Amazing footage, fake behind the scenes."

"An eighteen-year-old scam that defrauded the entire federal film marketing at once."

"Simon Westeros High School Classmate: He's working hard, but he can't be a film director."

"The real 'capital' and 'technology' of "Lola Run", Janet Johnston, daughter of a tycoon, and Katherine Bigelow, a top student at Columbia Film School."

"Lola Run's former gaffer accused Simon Westeros of being over the top."

"..."

"..."

For a time, not only newspapers, but even major radio and television stations in North America also participated in this discussion, and began to be keen to find all kinds of evidence that Simon Westeros could not have the ability to shoot "Lola Run" , San Jose, where Simon grew up, welcomed many reporters from all over the country again in a short period of time, and the scale of reporters around Simon's mansion also expanded again.

On the other hand, Simon's team quickly fought back. However, there was no rush to clarify the facts, but instead pointed the finger at Mark Horrington, who published the questioning article in the New York Times.

Early the next morning, Daenerys Pictures issued an official statement through the Los Angeles Times, scolding Mark Horrington for making it impossible for him to make "Lola" based solely on Simon's upbringing. The conclusion of "Run" is a kind of arrogance and prejudice stemming from its own incompetence, and even a kind of discrimination against the people at the bottom of the federation with the superficial superiority of its own wealthy middle class.

In the United States, the lethality of the big hat of "discrimination" is too great.

Mark Horrington responded immediately, publicly stating that he just asked Simon Westeros to stand up and prove that he had the professional ability to shoot "Lola Run", and did not have any intention of discrimination.

This time, Simon did not respond.

However, an article in the New York Post, owned by News Corp., quickly appeared, refuting Mark Horrington's request for a person to 'self-innocence' as a very egregious rogue. Since Mark Horrington believes that "Lola Run" was not filmed by Simon Westeros, he should provide solid evidence in person, otherwise, rashly questioning it is a serious violation of the reputation of others. Simon Westeros has every reason to file a reputation infringement lawsuit against him.

After such a confrontation, Mark Horrington, who was unable to resist, suddenly fell silent.

However, since the public opinion turmoil has already been set off, it is impossible to easily disappear. In the next few days, through the excavation of more details of Simon's growth past, through the analysis of the content of the "Lola Run" film, and even through the information provided by the messy "Hollywood insiders", all kinds of doubts still came.

Simon, with the help of wma, Fox Pictures, Orion Pictures, etc., has also come and gone to see how you can.

At the same time, Brian De Palma, David Giller, Robert Redford and other Hollywood insiders who have a good relationship with Simon also began to endorse Simon one after another.

In addition, after two days of urgent consultations, Fox Pictures President Ronald Goldberg approved Amy Pascal's resignation application ahead of time.

Daenerys Pictures immediately held a press conference to announce that Ms. Amy Pascal, the former vice president of production at Fox Pictures, will join Daenerys Pictures as the company's president.

The announcement of this news has undoubtedly made many people who have begun to shake under the influence of all kinds of bombarded and questioning news once again strengthened their confidence in Simon. After all, if Simon was just a young man with a face, it would be impossible to recruit a vice president of a major movie company to work for him.

However, soon newspapers also took the initiative to expose the 'truth', claiming that Amy Pascal switched to Daenerys Pictures just to be personally responsible for the upcoming investment by Fox Pictures and with Simon Westero as 'producer' "Death is Coming", which just shows that Fox Pictures has doubts about Simon Westeros' abilities.

This has been frustratingly tossing until March 13, Friday.

Many things have also come to a tipping point.

Because of this day, the box office data of the tenth film week of 1987 was officially released.

Workday media turmoil, though unavoidable

It made many ordinary people doubt the behind-the-scenes truth of "Lola Run", but in just a few days, the film's box office was not affected much.

In the new week, the box office figures of "Lola Run" finally reached 25.62 million US dollars, with a cumulative box office of 57.71 million US dollars.

Obviously, just the nationwide large-scale release in the first week 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 successfully break through the $100 million mark.

Following "Lola Run" is still "Lethal Weapon".

The $15 million blockbuster grossed $8.82 million in its opening week.

Although the screen size is more than 100 yuan more than "Lola Run", and the reputation is not bad, but the box office appeal of "Lethal Weapon" is obviously far from "event movies" like "Lola Run". In comparison, the box office scale is naturally only one-third of that.

Even, including the subsequent "Field Platoon", "Monster Street 3" and "Angel Heart", the total box office of the last four films in this week's top five box office is only 27.63 million US dollars, which is only comparable to "Lola Fast". The box-office figures for a movie "Run" are comparable.

afternoon.

Inside the cliffside mansion in Palisades, Los Angeles.

Catherine Bigelow took the coffee that Janet handed over, saw Janet sit down beside her like a little girl, smiled and hid to the side, preventing her from sticking to her, and then turned to Simon on the other side of the sofa. Said: "Have you not gone out these days?"

Simon looked at Catherine, who had just returned from Arizona, and was very moved. During this time, despite the troubles in the media, many people I have known in the past six months, Brian De Palma, David Gilles, Sandra Bullock, Jonathan Friedman And so on, are providing him with enough concern and support.

Hearing the woman's question, Simon nodded and said, "Yeah, I can't do anything when I go out anyway, so I just stay at home."

In recent days, the number of reporters outside Simon's mansion has not decreased at all. In order to avoid these troubles, Simon either contacted the outside world by phone, or Mike Medova, Pat Kingsley and others rushed over in person. , he himself did not go out a step at all.

Doing this really made me feel a lot more peaceful. However, a lot of work at Simon's hand has basically stopped.

While Ronald Goldberg pre-approved Amy's departure application out of self-interest, Fox dragged his feet on signing the Deadman contract sooner.

For the "Butterfly Effect" a month later, although Fox will not secretly do the same as those other people, but also offered to help, but now he is obviously watching the follow-up development of the situation.

In all fairness, this matter continues to this day, no matter what the result is, it will be difficult for Simon to completely get rid of doubts for a long time. Some things, even if they are false, have been said 10,000 times, and it is difficult to clear them up.

Catherine held the coffee cup, saw Simon looking at herself, turned her eyes slightly, and said, "Then, what are you going to do next?"

"It's time to end this matter," Simon replied. "I'm going to New York tomorrow, and I've already contacted NBC's "Tonight Show". It's scheduled for next Monday, and I'll make some explanations and statements on the show at that time."

Although Catherine had never encountered the current situation, she also felt that this kind of thing could not be settled so easily, and asked, "Is this all right?"

"There will definitely be follow-up media actions," Simon gave Catherine a reassuring look, and then asked about the woman herself: "How about you, I remember that the schedule happened to be filming this week, right? ?"

Catherine nodded and added: "However, I will go to Oklahoma next week to pick up some location shots. Then I will go back to Los Angeles for the post-production."

The story of "Blood Corpse Night" took place in Oklahoma, but due to climate, tax rebates, etc., the shooting location was Arizona. In order not to appear too shabby, some location supplements were indeed needed.

Simon said: "I will help you when the time comes."

Catherine smiled shyly and said, "Someone will definitely say that my films were not made by Catherine Bigelow in the future."

Simon smiled and said, "That's right, I happen to have this trouble too."

After chatting for a while, Jonathan Friedman, Mike Medova, Pat Kingsley, Amy Pascal and others came to Simon's residence one after another. We are going to New York tomorrow. Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to go. This afternoon, we just have to sort out the next coping strategies again.
