"'You look familiar, I guess I didn't recognize you because of your clothes' lol, Simon, how did you come up with that monologue from 'celebration'? If I didn't know your age, I would definitely Think the person who wrote it was a seasoned playboy."

Inside a restaurant in Santa Monica.

Madonna across the dining table leaned slightly towards Simon, and Barabara discussed the song Simon wrote to her last time.

"Pulp Fiction" has entered the final sound editing stage. Simon was not satisfied with the recording effect of a few lines in the scenes of Sean Penn and Madonna. He called to see if they could find time to re-dub. This time also happened to return to the West Coast. The couple readily agreed.

After completing the dubbing work in the morning, Simon naturally did not skimp on a lunch.

If Sean Penn wasn't there, Simon didn't mind making a few jokes in return. He just smiled and said, "Speaking of which, how many sales are you-can-dance?"

Madonna immediately became excited when she heard this question: "2.16 million in North America, about 3.35 million overseas, and a total of 5.51 million. I originally thought it would be good to sell 5 million copies in total. Now, this number can at least double. So , Simon, when are you going to give me the next song?"

Simon said: "I must wait for your next album. It's impossible to write a random song, right?"

"It doesn't matter if you write any song, as long as it's good enough, I can create an album based on your song," Madonna said as if she had tasted the sweetness, "Besides, Simon, do you have any other options for me? I don't need money this time, just one song at a time for guest appearances."

Simon said: "In a school thriller, a girl at the beginning received a call from a perverted murderer and was quickly killed. The body was not only hung on a tree, but also opened. Will you play it?"

Madonna immediately shook her head: "No acting, this situation is easy to be imitated by extreme fans, I don't want to be like John Lennon."

Simon shrugged: "Then there's nothing else."

Madonna hesitated and said, "Is there really such a role?"

"Yes, but I'm also a little worried after hearing what you just said, so I won't give it to you," Simon shook his head, turned to Sean Penn, skillfully found a topic, and said, "Sean, you and Robert What happened to Duvall's "Colorful Rattlesnake"?"

"The schedule has been set. On April 15th, I think the effect of the finished film is very good, but Orion's confidence in this film is not too high," Sean Pan said in a regretful tone, "Simon, I heard that You signed the Rain Man that Ovitz has been promoting himself?"

Simon remembered the reactions of the newspapers and media and even some people around him in recent days, and said with a smile: "Yeah, I'm already recognized as a fat sheep now, you won't laugh at me too, will you?"

Hearing this, Sean Pan looked hesitant.

Madonna said bluntly: "Sien also wants to become a director, Simon, you are so rich now, help us invest some."

Simon nodded with a smile, and said, "Let me read the script first. If it is possible, then my fat sheep has not been eaten clean, then it will be fine."

Madonna envied: "$1.6 billion, I think it's enough for my whole life."

Simon winked at Sean Pan: "Sean, it seems that you have to work hard to make money. This woman plans to spend 1.6 billion in her life."

Sean Penn shrugged manly: "I don't have so many thoughts after a fight."

Madonna slapped Sean Pan on the shoulder in dissatisfaction, and said, "Maybe I can make so much money myself."

After the three of them had lunch, Simon sent the couple away, and just got into his car, Neil Bennett in the front row said: "Mr Westeros, Ms. Pascal has just called, and the chairman of the Screenwriters Guild, George Mr. Kogo wants to talk to you, he's already on the company's side."

Simon looked at his watch. He planned to go to the WMA headquarters in the afternoon. Since Amy called in person, it was obvious that this matter could not be avoided, so he had to say: "Then go back to the company first."

Neil Bennett started the car, Simon picked up the car phone and said hello to Jonathan Friedman, after a few chats, the SUV was parked outside Daenerys Pictures headquarters.

Seeing Simon's car, Amy came out to greet him.

On the way back, Simon had roughly guessed the intention of WGA Chairman George Kego, and Amy's explanation also confirmed Simon's guess.

WGA is divided into two major chapters on the east and west coasts. To be precise, George Kogo should be the chairman of the WGA West chapter. Simon met each other in his office. This is an old man in his early sixties, with a round face and silver hair. , the spirit is very hospitable.

After a few simple chats, George Kogo explained his intentions: "Simon, you must know that we are negotiating with the Producers Union. As the best young screenwriter in Hollywood, we hope you can join wga, Make your own voice for the writers community."

Simon showed an embarrassed look on his face and said, "Mr. Ke Ge, I now have my own production company. If I join the screenwriters union, once the wga strikes, I will not be able to abide by the strike regulations at all."

George Kogo shook his head and smiled: "Simon, the negotiations are still going on, and it may not necessarily lead to a strike. Moreover, there will always be exceptions. Even if a strike does happen, you only need to not participate in the script for a period of time.

Just create and stop signing new deals with big studios. "

Simon listened to George Curgo and realized that the other party was also an optimist, not realizing how serious the next strike would be.

After a five-month strike, it is impossible for Daenerys Pictures to hire professional screenwriters for a series of projects underway. If Simon keeps himself bound by the rules of the WGA, the company will close its doors.

Shaking his head firmly, Simon regretted: "George, I'm so sorry, it's really not convenient for me to join wga right now."

George Kogo didn't give up easily, and continued to lobby for more than ten minutes. Seeing Simon's insistence, he had to get up and leave.

Politely sending George Kogo out of the company headquarters, watching the other party's car drive out of the parking lot, Amy said to Simon: "The Screenwriters Guild Awards will announce the nominations next week."

Simon was not in a hurry to go to wma, and returned to the office building with Amy, saying, "Do you want me to join wga?"

Amy nodded and said: "The voting for the Oscar screenwriting award is also in the hands of the WGA members. The screenwriting award is one of the projects you have the most hope of winning this year. If you reject George Kogo, there will be no hope for "Lola Run". already."

Simon smiled bitterly: "WGA lacks one of me, so it shouldn't be anything, right?"

Amy said with a smile: "Lola Run, The Butterfly Effect and Death Comes last year, your three scripts all made it into the top ten of the annual box office list. If such screenwriters are not WGA members, they will There is no confidence to go on strike.”

Simon was a little helpless, he actually understood what George Kogo and Amy thought.

Neither of them obviously feel how serious this year's strike will be, or even that the WGA will definitely go to the point of a strike.

If Simon, a top screenwriter who is in the limelight in Hollywood, joins the WGA at this time and expresses his support for the negotiations between the WGA and the Producers Union, it will be a very good thing for both parties.

At an important part of voting in this awards season, Simon's statement will definitely win the favor of many screenwriters with voting rights.

on the contrary.

If wga strikes, Simon, the top screenwriter who created three films that squeezed into the annual box office list last year, but leaves the strike group, not only can create freely and freely, but also continue to sign contracts with the studio, then the scene will be Too slap in the face and even embarrass the whole wga.

After last year's "Lola Run", Simon has already made a name for himself in Hollywood, and he has also reached the standard of joining wga, but wga has never taken the initiative to express it, and it is not accidental that the invitation has not been sent until now.

Everyone can easily understand the subtext.

Like Amy just said.

The Writers Guild of America Awards nominations are announced next week.

Obviously.

If Simon agrees to join the wga at this time, he will be a 'big hit' for next week's nominations and even the next awards.

but.

Simon, who knew exactly what was going on in the next few months, simply couldn't agree to the WGA's invitation.
