Lina was thinking about how to speak, and a man's smile came from behind her: "What are you thinking about? Your heart beats so fast?"

He turned his head and found Simon's cheek and kissed him. Lina simply untied the swimsuit that blocked the man's touch and threw it aside. Then she said: "Simon, I have never heard of this director, so it shouldn't be famous, right?"

"yes."

"Then, do you think I can recruit him as my client?"

"You want to be an assistant to Paul?"

"No, it's only temporary for Amy and Jesse to be assistants. I was originally a WMA intern and would soon become a formal agent."

Suddenly, when I heard Lena say this, Jessica Chastain, who had already agreed in private, was delayed by this accident weekend, didn't realize anything. Amy Adams was a little surprised and couldn't help but look up from a distance.

Simon looked down at the round-faced girl who was so beautiful that he couldn't put down her skin, and said, "Do you like being an agent very much, or how about being a star?"

This time even Jessica pricked her ears.

Someone said yesterday morning that he didn't want to be a star, so how did she answer now.

Lina shook her head without hesitation: "I don't want to, I still think the agent is good. Moreover, this is just the beginning of the career I planned for myself, and I will not be an agent forever in the future."

Simon looked very interested: "Tell me carefully?"

Lena said clearly: "I am 23 years old this year. I hope to take 5 to 7 years to personally bring out a group of big names as an agent, build my own connections, and be familiar with all aspects of Hollywood film and television production. Then, at most 30 years old, try to enter a large Hollywood studio to seek a vice president-level executive in charge of film and television production. Then, at the age of 40, I hope to become the head of a large studio like Amy Pascal and Shirley Lansing."

Simon smiled and said, "What if it fails to achieve it?"

Lina turned over and leaned on the man without realizing it, and looked at Simon: "Then there is nothing I can do, it only means I am not lucky, it doesn't mean I didn't work hard."

"No," Simon nodded in recognition, thought for a while, and asked, "Have you ever been to college?"

"I graduated from the Film Academy of Southern California. I majored in film and media studies. In my four years in college, I only had to pass 3 Bs and 1 C, and the others were A."

Simon was a little surprised. He thought that the two girls who worked as assistants for Amy were probably from similar backgrounds to them. If it were just like this, he would only laugh at Lena's words just now and at most a little help. He really didn't expect that at this time, nor did he suspect that the girl in his arms was lying. After all, it was too easy to verify, so he said again: "It seems that you have planned your life between colleges."

"yes."

"How come you come to be an assistant to Amy and the others?"

Lina leaned forward with her eyebrows and kissed the man on the lips: "Isn't this the answer?"

Simon also reacted, smiled and hugged the girl and made out for a while before touching the folder that had just been thrown on Britney next to him: "Since that's the case, I won't bother. This, Paul Greengrass, just treat it as a test for you."

Lina turned over and leaned into the man's arms again, took the folder and opened it, and asked, "Simon, what do I need to do?"

"You finish reading the information first."

Lina nodded and leaned in the man's arms and looked through it carefully and quickly.

First of all, it was discovered that Paul Greengras, 42, is also a top student, graduated from Cambridge University. He was originally a journalist and published a book that exposed the scandal of the MI6 British Army. Later, he entered the field of television and began to shoot documentaries and TV series. He began to get involved in movies in the late 1980s.

From some film and television projects completed by the other party, Lina judged that Paul Greengras was good at documentary films adapted from real-life stories, but it was in line with the other party's journalist origin.

Documentary subject matter?

With his head focused here, Lena suddenly remembered Amy and Jessica's participation in the ongoing "Ghost Record".

"The Ghost Record" is a movie, but if you put aside the fictional component, it is also a very documentary story.

Let's see this director again.

Even if he is not a newcomer like Lin Yibin, he has not yet made a name for himself at the age of 42, and he is basically almost the same.

Furthermore, if you are good at documentary themes, your image style should also be biased towards this. Then, it is also appropriate to shoot pseudo-documentary movies used to shoot "documentary themes".

Finally, Lina also knew that the sequel to "The Ghost Record" had been launched, and Jessica, who was about to win, was the heroine. Daenerys Entertainment, because of her emphasis on Lin Yibin, obviously did not want the other party to take over the sequel. So, does that mean that Paul Greengrass is the director of the sequel chosen by Simon?

I have to say that if Simon knew the girl’s thinking context, he would be surprised even if the other party failed to guess the truth.

Because the direction is right.

After a while, after flipping through the information in his hand, Lina looked up again and looked at the man behind her: "Simon, I think there is something wrong with it."

"Um?"

"The directors Daenerys Entertainment, Michael Bay, Doug Liman, and recently Lin Yibin, are they all very young, aren't they?"

"yes."

"And this one," Lina raised the information in her hand: "Although he graduated from college, he has been in the film and television industry for more than ten years and has not yet made his reputation. Don't you think he might be mediocre?"

“…”

"Simon?"

"You're right, I'm thinking about how to refute it."

"Haha," Lina also imitated Simon's appearance and threw the folder next to Britney. Although these girls didn't give up their seats for themselves just now, they turned over again like fried eggs and leaned on the man: "Simon, as long as you think there is no problem, you don't need to explain to me, you just need to tell me what to do?"

"This," Simon grabbed the girl's little hand, counted three fingers, and half out the fourth one, and said, "About the first stage, Paul has three and a half months. Now, test you, why are there only three and a half months?"

Test questions?

The three girls around him who were silently envious and jealous because Lina liked each other all started to get their heads.

Although the facts were a little dissatisfied with what I imagined, Lina quickly sorted it out, and seemed to be able to hear the voices of the girls around her, smiling at the man in front of her: "Simon, why don't you give Amy and the others a chance? If I say it too quickly, it may make you lose face."

“…”

Bichi!

Simon followed suit and smiled and said to both sides: "Who answers first, give a heroine."

The girls were immediately more energetic.

Britney next to her was still pretending to be pitiful, no longer holding the "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in her hand, and then applied it to her coquettishly as if Lena was: "Simon, what did you ask for just three and a half months, let me tell you again?"

Britney asked, among the six girls, Vanessa and Amy, all showed expectations, obviously hoping that Simon would say something about it again.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a response.

I can only recall the details of the man's words just now and rack my brains.

After a moment, Jessica finally said, "Simon, three and a half months later, it will be about mid-January next year, Sundance Film Festival, right?"

“Bingo!”

Amy leaned against Jessica and cried out in annoyance: "Sundans, ahhh, why didn't I expect it, I should have thought of it."

The other girls also looked depressed.

Why can't I think of such a simple thing? I pushed the time back three and a half months. Thinking about what important things were in Hollywood during that period, I soon understood it.

It's so regretful that I want to go crazy.

Lina also glanced at Jessica, but she did not disappoint herself.

If it were other girls, she wouldn't say much. Since it was Jessica, Lena didn't want to be fooled by the man. She asked in a soft voice: "Simon, do you really want a reward now?"

"Of course, I don't have the habit of breaking my promise."

Simon said, pretending to think about it, Lina couldn't help but say, ""Ghost Record 2" doesn't count, and you just talked about the protagonist."

"It seems that you have a good relationship with Jessica," Simon teased and signaled to the folder beside him that Britney picked up and placed: "It's there, I plan to let Paul Greengrass make two movies, and the heroine of the second part, let's give Jessie."

The other girls are envious.

Lina knew she had just been a little eager, and this time she stopped looking at the bottom of the matter, but said, "Then, Simon, let's continue for three and a half months, what will Paul Greengrass do?"

"Danelles Entertainment's second pseudo-documentary film is probably about a teenager's adventure to find a witch, and the script is still being perfected. Your mission is to find Paul Greengrass and convince him to join the project and serve as director. And you only have up to three and a half months because I hope this movie will be at Sundance Film Festival."

The story of finding a witch is naturally "The Witch Blair".

This is a temporary idea that Simon had after reading Paul Greengrass's information. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible.

Paul Greengrass initially served as a journalist, and then, from the early 1980s, began to enter the TV industry to do TV series and documentaries. Over the years, his personal influence style can be imagined. Not only is it suitable for "Public Enemy of the People", but "The Witch Blair", which pursues pseudo-documentary effects, is actually more in line with it.

On the other hand, Simon actually needs to confirm it.

As Lena said, she has not yet made a breakthrough at the age of 42. Even if she has not encountered a suitable opportunity in the past, Simon also hopes to give the other party a project to see it himself. On the one hand, she is practicing and honing her skills. On the other hand, she even has to convince others, such as the Westing House, the investor of "Public Enemy", and Jerry Brookheimer, etc.

After all, the budget for "Public Enemy" is 70 million, not 7 million.

Let’s make “Blair the Witch” first. Not to mention the box office, everyone can actually see whether the film itself is good or not and whether it is suitable for Hollywood style.

It would be a lot more natural to give "Public Enemy" to the other party.

Lina, who was lying on Simon, was also planning.

Since Daenerys Entertainment's script is already perfect, it's more than three and a half months to get Paul Greengrass done. After all, although the original "Ghost Record" was filmed for two months before it was finished, it was mainly because Lin Yibin and several main creators carefully crafted and pursued the ultimate.

According to Lina's judgment, if it were not for the pursuit of excellence, "The Ghost Record" could be completed in even ten days.

Of course, Lena wouldn't be so stupid that she would let Paul Greengras rush to work in the future.

Calculate carefully.

Today, on October 5, I will complete Paul Greengrass, improve the script and form the crew. If everything goes well, it will be completed in one month.

Then, filming started in early November, a fake documentary, this time, a little compressed, giving one and a half months, about 45 days, is actually enough. The remaining one month left to do the post-production, which is more than enough. Even then, even if the Sundance Film Festival begins, you can actually squeeze out some more time.

Maybe we can sign up here first to postpone the reaction period of Sundance for at least one more week.

Many great directors have actually done this kind of thing. Sometimes when attending a film festival, others have already opened. The movie here has not been completely completed, so they can only drag it down, and even the situation is that they can directly screen semi-finished films.
