The preview of "Instinct" took place at a theater in Century City, Beverly Hills, and Simon and Janet set out from Malibu to read Sophia Fishy's investigative report on the way.

In my memory, there are too many cases of rich and famous people who encountered unfortunate incidents because of bad encounters. There are many cases of broken families. Sophia Fisher is responsible for the affairs that are closely related to Simon's private life. He is very cautious in this matter.

Simon is very satisfied with the resume of Sophia Fisher in the report.

An ordinary seaside town girl from Corsica, France, graduated from the tenth public university in France, majoring in administration. In the data, this woman's grades in college are amazing. After graduating at the age of 22, after working for an investment company in Paris for three years, she accidentally entered the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich to study business administration, but dropped out after only one year to marry her ex-husband Paul Britney.

Paul Britney is a businessman in the red wine business. The Britney family owns their own wineries in popular wine regions such as Bordeaux, Provence and the Loire Valley in France. However, this marriage only lasted for three years and ended in failure. Sophia Fisher obtained custody of a pair of children. In recent years, she has been in charge of luxury real estate agency work in a top real estate brokerage company in Nice, close to Cannes. The performance is excellent.

Simon turned page by page at the information in his hand, Janet leaned beside him and asked, "How is it? It's interesting, isn't it?"

In addition to the main resume in the report, there are also some accounts of Sophia Fisher's marriage with her ex-husband, who is eleven years older than her, and the reasons for the divorce. This woman succeeded in the divorce process with Paul Britney's bad record of having domestic violence. Won custody of a pair of children, but at the cost of a one-time alimony of 5 million francs, which was little left after a year of expensive litigation costs.

Apparently, the businessman named Paul Britney was also resolute enough. According to the information, Sophia Fisher's children are now only 7 and 5 years old. The assets of the Breni family exceed 300 million francs, but Paul Breni has not paid a penny for his children in recent years.

When Simon heard Janet's question, he stretched out his hand and pinched the woman's chin, and smiled: "You are from a very good background. I don't know how difficult it is for a helpless little woman to walk all the way, but I find it interesting. "

"That's not it," Janet shook off Simon's hand in dissatisfaction, grabbed the investigation report, turned a few pages, and handed it over again: "Look, it's actually that businessman who recently wanted to take back the two small And what about the guy's custody. He had an accident on a yacht two years ago and probably lost his fertility. Look at Sophia Fishy, ​​it's no coincidence that she agreed to work for you, she wants one Strong enough to protect yourself from losing custody."

Simon browsed through the several pages of information in front of him, just smiled and said, "It's right for the boss to protect his employees. Since you are so interested in this matter, you should come forward when you need it."

Janet looked really interested, nodding and snorting with a small expression full of evil spirits. Seeing that the woman was about to become a sperm, Simon hurriedly stretched out his hand to suppress it. When the rib was attacked, Janet suddenly smiled and softened.

The test screening started at seven o'clock, and Simon and Janet arrived ten minutes early outside a cinema on the amc cinema chain in Century City.

In order to build up publicity as much as possible, Fox made the test screening quite loud, and specially arranged a red carpet. A large number of media reporters and enthusiastic fans holding various posters also gathered outside the theater.

Simon and Janet got out of the car, and the crowd that was still in order suddenly became commotion. If it wasn't for the security to stop, the crowd would almost rush to the two of them. Seeing this situation, Simon did not accept the interview, but hurried into the theater with Janet after taking pictures.

The two were led by the staff to a lounge first. Fox Chairman Barry Diller and Fox Film President Ronald Goldberg had arrived early, Brian De Palma, Michael In addition to several main creators of "Instinct" such as Douglas, there are also several big-level film critics in the lounge.

The preview is about to start, and everyone didn't chat too much, and soon entered the screening hall and sat down.

Simon took Janet and Barry Diller and others to sit in a slightly forward position, and glanced around. The medium-sized screening hall of more than 200 people was almost full, all of them were media reporters and film critics from all over North America. This also shows that Fox Films spared no effort for this test screening, because most of the expenses such as food, lodging, and travel expenses were borne by Fox.

With the lights dimmed, the screening of the movie started quickly.

After a short and psychedelic opening, a passionate scene of Chi Lulu appeared in front of everyone, which caught many film critics off guard.

Simon's previous "Pulp Fiction" was bloody and violent, but it didn't show any scenes from beginning to end.

However, this passionate scene was just the beginning. When the woman suddenly pulled out the ice pick and stabbed the man under her mercilessly, blood splashed everywhere, and some media reporters and film critics in the screening hall were almost stunned.

Is this a Simon Westeros script?

Is this the script written by Simon Westeros, the creator of a string of "Lola Run," "The Butterfly Effect," "Death Is Coming," and most recently, the equally stunning Pulp Fiction?

In the screening room not far from the main creator, Terrence Lafferty, a famous film critic from The New Yorker, glanced at the young man not far away after the opening episode was over.

The figure, sideways asked the chief film critic of Time Magazine, Richard Schickel, who was also frowning: "Is it possible that someone else's script has Westeros' name on it?"

Richard Schickel also glanced in a certain direction and shook his head: "I think if it wasn't for the contract with Fox Pictures, Westeros wouldn't put his name on this film at all. ."

Terrence Lafferty thought for a while, and couldn't help but nodded.

However, he soon felt that maybe other well-known directors or screenwriters tried their best not to associate themselves with controversial films, but a young man like Westeros who played his cards unconventionally might not care about this. "Pulp Fiction" caused controversy during this period as well. A youth protection group in New York State even protested to the state government because of the straightforward depiction of drug injection in "Pulp Fiction", demanding that the film be blocked.

Now, Westeros has just recklessly squandered a handful of violence, and began to show eroticism again.

I really don't know what he will do next.

Terrence Rafferty is actually a fan of Batman comics. Looking at some of the hints on the big screen that can be seen everywhere in less than half an hour, he is even a little worried that Simon Westeros will take it. "Batman" has also been made into an R-rated film that is not suitable for children.

God is so kind to that young man.

Perhaps, this time he should suffer some setbacks.

With this idea in mind, Terrence Rafferty turned his attention to the big screen again, and even if he wanted to criticize the film, he would definitely watch it carefully.

Putting energy into it, Terrence Rafferty quickly noticed the performance of the actress Linda Fiorentino, who he didn't actually know by name but remembered her in Martin Scorsese. Strange starred in an eccentric artist figure in "After Hours."

Although very disgusted with the theme of the film, Terence Rafferty has to admit that, like Sandra Bullock in "Lola Run", Meg in "When Harry Met Sally" Ryan Like Nicole Kidman in Pulp Fiction, Simon Westeros has once again picked the right heroine.

However, for this same reason, the actress may have a hard time breaking away from her role in "Instinct" next.

In addition, the performance of the new actor Michael Douglas is also remarkable, and director Brian De Palma showed his preference for Hitchcock incisively and vividly in the film.

Moreover, in addition to the ubiquitous sexual theme, the core of this film is just like the name of its "Instinct". In the final analysis, it shows the drive of a person's behavior by the deep-rooted desire in human nature. The heroine is also using human nature. Instinct controls the men around her, however, her behavior may also come from the dark instinct in human nature.

At the end of the screening, Terence Rafferty unknowingly discovered that if the sex part of the film was removed, it was also a film worth savoring. But then think about it, if those elements are really removed, the film that has been dubbed "Instinct" will still lose too much color in the end.

This is an inexorable proposition.

The ending subtitles of the film began to rise, and Terrence Lafferty was still reminiscing about the plot just now. Richard Schickel, who was beside him, suddenly came over and whispered: "Roger left the stage early."

Terrence Lafferty was stunned for a moment before he remembered.

There may not be only one person named Roger in this screening room, but the person who can be named by Richard Schickel without mentioning his last name can only be the famous Chicago film critic Roger Eber special.

Because of preconceived notions, Terrence Lafferty still has some prejudice against the film he just watched, but in his bones he is no longer so disgusted. Terrence Lafferty laughed a little sarcastically out of some literati thoughts, and said: "It's normal, Roger Albert has never been too fond of this type of suspense and thriller movies. ."

Terrence Lafferty said it politely, but Richard Schickel smiled knowingly.

As one of the few top film critics in North America, Roger Albert's film review style has always been known for his gentleness, but only for certain types of films, that is, the thriller and suspense type.

There is actually an allusion to this. Many years ago, a young man with high spirits planned to become a screenwriter, and he liked thriller and suspense films, but the script he created was rejected again and again. film critics. Because of the "tragic encounter" when he was a screenwriter, the film critic who became a half-way monk and finally became a famous film critic was particularly harsh on thriller and suspense type films.

After chatting and laughing, Richard Schickel saw that the subtitles on the big screen were about to end, and he couldn't help but ask Terrence Lafferty next to him: "Are you going to Fox's reception next time?"

Terrence Rafferty was a little hesitant. He was still very interested in Simon Westeros, and he originally planned to take this opportunity to chat with him. However, in the current situation, Fox's reception is obviously of a public relations nature. If he attends the reception and is persuaded at the reception, Terence Lafferty feels that it will be difficult for him to publish too much about "Instinct". Harsh average.

Although, after watching the entire film, Terrence Lafferty's perception of "Instinct" is not too bad, but he is reluctant to let his ideas be influenced by others after all.

Turning his head and looking around, in addition to Roger Albert, there were obviously other people in the screening room who had left the theater early. Obviously, although they received various entertainment from Fox Films, a large number of people still

Expressing their attitude in this way, perhaps those people will not accept Fox's return ticket in the future.

Looking back, Terrence Lafferty nodded and said, "Go, I'm still very curious about that young man, Charlie, how about you?"

Richard Schickel also nodded: "I plan to go too."

Before the movie screening was accepted, Ronald Goldberg kept hearing from his assistants that someone had left the show early. It's true that Fox intends to adopt a controversial marketing strategy, but in the end, Ronald Goldberg is a little worried that if the word of mouth of "Instinct" completely collapses, then there will be no next step. No 'controversy' to speak of.

The reception was held at the nearby InterContinental Century City Hotel.

More than three of the more than 200 film critics who attended the screening did not show up after the screening, which once again cast a shadow on Ronald Goldberg's heart. Beginning with "Butterfly Effect" last year, Fox's performance suddenly improved, and this year's summer program saw the unexpected success of "Flying Beyond the Future". The company originally had high hopes for "Instinct", and Ronald Goldberg also expects that before he officially leaves this fall, he will be able to accumulate a qualification with "Instinct" and get a bonus by the way, for him to start after leaving. New companies accumulate more capital.

But now, the situation has suddenly become uncertain.

After an enthusiastic walk through the crowd, Ronald Goldberg also saw in general the strong polarization of critics for the film, but at the same time, due to the high level of Simon Westeros It is expected that this polarized word of mouth is actually more inclined to the criticism.

Obviously, "Instinct" will certainly be controversial next, but the word of mouth may be very bad.

Ronald Goldberg is not at all sure that audiences will pay for a highly controversial film with bad reviews, even if it's a Simon Westeros movie, or, especially because it's a Simon Westeros movie. Westeros movies.

With such a worried mood, Ronald Goldberg found and walked to Simon and Barry Diller who were chatting, looking at the two of them talking and laughing, and couldn't help saying: "You don't seem to be worried at all. ."
