Simon didn't feel a girl in the crowd watching him silently. Hearing Janet's words, he just smiled and said, "Why, are you going to live in for a while?"

Janet nodded sincerely: "Yes, if I can become like you, I can live for a few years."

Catherine also came back to her senses at this time. In addition to being surprised, she also had a strong curiosity about Simon's past again in her heart. However, hearing Janet's words, the woman glared at her friend in warning: "Jenny, don't make fun of this kind of thing again."

Janet felt the rare seriousness in Catherine's words, and immediately shrank her neck, took her arm and shook it flatly, and she didn't speak again.

Simon calmed down the rapid heartbeat after he had just been concentrating on playing, noticed Janet's small movements, smiled, and handed the guitar in his arms to Catherine in front of him and said, "Can you help me get it?"

Catherine reached out and took it, still a little puzzled, Simon had already squatted down and started sorting the coins in the piano box in front of him.

Wanting to step forward to help and feel the guitar in her hand, Catherine had to stand and carefully hold the guitar in her arms.

Janet looked at the guitar in front of her, reached out, was opened by Catherine, pouted in dissatisfaction, and squatted down to help Simon sort out the coins, and also picked up a 5-cent coin to criticize a guy for being too stingy.

All the coins in the piano box were quickly sorted out. Even if the one-hundred-dollar bill Janet just had was not counted, there were more than 260 dollars, far exceeding Simon's expectations.

Let Janet hold a small pile of coins, Simon stuffed the paper money into his jeans pocket, took the guitar from Catherine, carefully packed it in the piano case, carried it on his shoulder, looked at the woman and said, "Then, let's go to dinner. ?"

"Okay," Catherine didn't hesitate this time, nodded with a smile, and suggested: "There is a good Mexican restaurant nearby."

"It should be fine to walk over, right?"

"Of course, just north."

"Oh, how do you go back later?"

"My car is in the parking lot over there."

"It's a coincidence that mine is also over there, but I borrowed the hotel owner's car, a very good person."

"I borrowed the guitar too?"

"yes."

Janet stood there, staring blankly at the man and woman who were about to walk away side by side, and looked down at the coin she was still holding in her hand. What's going on?

I was just like this, forgot?

Thinking of this, Janet suddenly became angry and shouted in a hoarse voice from the street: "Simon Westeros, if you dare to take one more step, I will throw this pile of things away!"

The eyes of many people on the pedestrian street were once again attracted.

Simon and Catherine also turned around and looked at Janet who was annoyed. Simon quickly returned and said, "Sorry, Jane, oh, let me get it."

Janet threw all the coins in her hand into Simon's hands with a bang, and glared at Catherine with some grievances.

Both of them were a little embarrassed, Catherine stepped forward to hold Janet, Simon loaded the coins, and the three walked north again.

Looking at Janet who was deliberately separated between the two, Simon had no choice but to find something to say, "So, Catherine, you just said that Janet's studio is here, what studio?"

"Art studio," Catherine replied, "Jenny is a painter. In the future, when you have money, you can buy her paintings."

"Oh, definitely."

"I won't sell you this little bastard."

"I'm paying a high price."

"Not for sale!"

"Double."

"Nonsence!"

"Haha," Catherine chuckled, seeing her friend staring at her again, and quickly said to Simon: "Jenny is also very good, she actually graduated from Columbia Business School, and Buffett also studied at Columbia Business School, Simon, Buffett, you you know?"

Simon nodded: "Of course."

Catherine continued: "That year, when Buffett returned to give a speech at Columbia University, Jenny argued with Buffett in the auditorium. If it wasn't for the dean of the business school, Jenny would have almost let the other party down."

"Sure enough," Simon smiled and continued to ask, "Then why did you change to be a painter again?"

This time, Catherine just glanced at her best friend, smiled and stopped explaining.

Janet rolled her eyes when she saw that Simon was also looking at herself curiously.

Chatting casually, the three came to a nearby Mexican restaurant. Although Simon had a few hundred dollars in his pocket, the two women only asked for a set meal of $25. However, Simon still obeyed Jenny's 'will', using She ordered a decent bottle of red wine for $100.

After dinner, Simon also left the contact information of the motel to Catherine before separating from the two women.

After paying the dinner bill, Simon still had more than one hundred dollars left in his hand, enough to support the salary payment of the convenience store next week, so he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to waste time on part-time jobs.

After solving his small financial troubles, Simon then completely settled down in Los Angeles.

Once the day seems to be the same, it often goes by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it is already the third week of Simon's arrival in Los Angeles, and the time is entering July.

Outside of work, Simon basically keeps on the phone twice a week with Jonathan Friedman. The agent didn't hide himself from him

Wanted the idea of ​​making The Butterfly Effect a packaged project.

Last Wednesday, Simon also rushed to the WMA headquarters at the invitation of Jonathan Friedman, and chatted with Brian De Palma, the director of the film that his agent was interested in, for more than half an hour.

Brian De Palma became famous in "Carrie the Witch" in the 1970s, but Simon knew that the other party was the director of Tom Go's first "Mission: Impossible" ten years later. One of the directors of Aoki.

So, while Brian De Palma's takeover of The Butterfly Effect will overshadow the script itself to some extent, Simon is also happy to see how the well-known director's involvement has contributed to the entire project.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly.

It's just that he called the agent two days ago, but the other party told him that something had changed.

Friedman's original idea was to use all his own artists, but after the "Butterfly Effect" script spread within the company, other WMA executives also had ideas for the project.

The agent didn't explain it too clearly this time. Simon couldn't sort out the joints, but he also understood that he must continue to wait patiently for a while. He is a newcomer who has just debuted, and naturally he has no way to have any influence on the internal game of wma. At this time, he can only be a chess piece obediently.

On the other hand, after spending the first week with a small threshold of financial constraints, Simon only kept his job at the convenience store and started some other plans of his own.

It's another normal Thursday afternoon, but tomorrow is July 4th, America's National Day, and then the entire weekend. Therefore, many people have already fallen into the holiday atmosphere in advance, and the passenger flow in the convenience store has increased significantly.

"So, how is today?"

Standing behind the checkout counter, Simon saw Courteney Cox come over with a pile of snacks and greet the girl casually while checking out.

Within a week of working at the convenience store, Simon discovered that Courteney Cox happened to live nearby and shopped there regularly. Courteney Cox also found this very interesting. Every time she came to buy something, she would deliberately chat with Simon, and the two became acquainted unconsciously.

However, Courteney was clearly in a very bad mood today.

Hearing Simon's greeting, Courteney, who was already a little gloomy, said angrily: "I just received an audition failure notice, what do you think?"

Simon smiled and said, "There's no need to be so discouraged. With such good conditions, you will definitely have more opportunities. Speaking of which, I'm preparing an experimental movie recently, why don't you be the heroine?"

"Experimental film?" Courteney pointed at Simon's clerk's costume and teased: "Let's not say whether you will make a film, first of all, do you have money?"

"I'll probably have money when Joe sells my script," Simon said, packing Courteney's snacks. "It's $19 and 75 cents."

Courteney handed over two $10 bills, still venomous: "You've been here for weeks and haven't done anything. By the time Joe sells your script, maybe I'll be Michelle Fee. A big star like Buddha. You can't even pay a fraction of my salary for a script."

Simon found change for Courteney and said, "Michelle Pfeiffer shouldn't be expensive, right? However, a woman who is indeed very tasteful, may have a chance to date her in the future."

Courteney weighed a few coins in her hand, gave Simon a blank look, and said, "It's rare, you haven't found the wrong money in your daydreams."

After hitting Simon so mercilessly, Courteney's mood was obviously much better. Before leaving, she said goodbye to face, and then picked up the bag and left the convenience store.

Simon threw the receipt that Courteney had pulled down into the trash can next to him. Seeing that there were no customers behind him, he was about to sit down and rest for a while when the chubby body of convenience store owner Roger Griffin rubbed over, lying on his back. Next to the cashier, he said, "Hey, boy, it's too bad to use the excuse of making a movie to pick up girls. If I had asked her out directly, I would have been anxious for you for so many days."

Simon didn't take the words of this middle-aged fat man who was absolutely greedy and courageous, and instead said: "I didn't make excuses. Speaking of which, Roger, can you let me take some shots in your shop?"

"Okay," Roger Griffin was still very cheerful and direct: "As long as you pay."

"Of course I won't use it for nothing," Simon said with a smile. "However, let me explain one thing first. This is a robbery scene."

Roger didn't look at Simon like a joke at all, squinted his eyes and looked at him, and quickly said: "Alright, but you have to change a temporary new sign for the store when shooting, and you can't show too much in the camera. specific address information."

It took weeks for the movie I remember to convince a supermarket to film the heist.

Simon didn't expect that his turn would go well, so he nodded immediately and raised his hand towards Roger: "That's it."

Although, like Courteney, he was not optimistic about Simon's idea of ​​making a movie, the middle-aged fat man raised his hand and shook it with him, saying, "Boy, if you really want to film one day, remember to leave a role for me. "

Simon didn't ink, and simply said: "Of course there is no problem."

After chatting a few words with Simon, Roger walked away leisurely.

Simon continued to work for more than half an hour, and when it was time for a shift change, he left the convenience store with his light gray rucksack on his back after handing over to the next employee.
