Butch escaped from a desperate situation, and after a weird day that was frustrating, he took his little girlfriend away to the world, and the "Golden Watch" paragraph ended.

The story continues, but the plot turns back to the Anti-Bone Boy's apartment visited by Vincent and Jules.

An anti-bone boy hiding in the toilet took advantage of Vincent and Jules' unpreparedness and suddenly jumped out of the gun and shot indiscriminately. As a result, it was all empty, and Jules regarded it as a miracle, and therefore had the idea of ​​​​retiring. Vincent insisted that it was just a Accident. The two partners accidentally shot the head of the undercover agent during the argument, and blood splattered the entire carriage.

In order to avoid being stopped by the police, Jules rushed to a nearby friend's house named Jimmy to deal with the problem. The runaway Jimmy had no sense of the two people who were covered in blood, and ignored the headless body in the carriage, just worrying about it. His wife Bonnie's reaction after returning home from the night shift, this strong sense of absurdity once again made the audience laugh.

The problem-solving Mr. Worf appears, finally revealing the role of Robert Redford that fans have been waiting for.

The absurdity of the film is pushed to the extreme by the seriousness of a few big men to solve the corpse problem to avoid the trouble of Jimmy's wife's return, and the film critics in the hall begin to understand why the last paragraph is called "Bonnie's situation".

Bonnie, an ordinary night-shift nurse, never appeared in front of the camera, but completely beyond the logic of normal people and unexpectedly became the key factor driving the plot of this black comedy.

After getting the corpse, Vincent and Jules chose a roadside cafe to eat, and unexpectedly encountered Madonna and Sean Penn's 'Little Rabbit' and 'Little Pumpkin' to start the robbery, and the plot ended in a perfect loop. Closing comes to an end.

The ending subtitles slowly rose, Mike Medova turned his head and glanced around the hall again in the dark, and the heart that was raised high finally fell a lot again.

The Cannes Film Festival often sees audiences exiting early because a film is too bad or resists the idea of ​​the film. Mike Medova has previously been worried about the large number of violent scenes and drug use scenes in "Pulp Fiction". Straightforward descriptions will offend the audience.

But at this time, the film screening ended, and the Rubier Hall, which was enough to accommodate more than 2,000 people, was still full. Clearly, some kind of bad situation didn't happen.

There were more than 2,000 spectators at the scene. It is impossible for everyone to like Pulp Fiction, but to be able to participate in such a hard-to-get red carpet premiere, whether it is a filmmaker, a media reporter, a professional film critic or an ordinary movie fan, Basically, they all have the professionalism enough to judge whether a movie is good or not.

Therefore, the lights were turned on, and the scene soon burst into warm applause.

After a brief curtain call, the audience began to leave the stage, and Simon and other main creators went to the special press conference hall next door to participate in the regular press conference after the premiere. Near noon, everyone didn't waste time. Just as everyone sat down, the reporters in the audience raised their hands.

The host ordered a brown-haired man with glasses, whose face was obviously French, and the other party took the microphone and got up and said in English with a slight accent: "Mr. Westeros, I'm a reporter for "Cinebook" Vincent Fisher, let me first say, "Pulp Fiction" is definitely another amazing work of yours. This film completely breaks through the style limitations of your last "Lola Run", whether it is the soundtrack of the camera Or is there a lot of innovative detail in the narrative. But what makes me curious is what is this film really saying?”

After Simon finished speaking, he smiled and approached some microphones and said: "Thank you for your affirmation of this film, Vincent. In addition, everyone can call me Simon, I'm only twenty years old, I heard 'Westeros' The title of 'Mister' always feels a bit odd."

In the light laughter from the audience, Simon continued: "As for your question, Vincent, I didn't intend to express any profound ideas with this film. Just like the name of this film'Pulp Fiction', I just I'm telling some stories that everyone can sit on the toilet as a pastime. In addition, this film also contains a lot of my experimental ideas for film, which can be said to be an exercise in narrative and skills, and it is not difficult for everyone to find me. References to many classic film scores, shots, narratives, etc."

Simon's voice fell, but the reporter from the "Cinema Manual" did not let go of the microphone in his hand, and quickly asked again: "So, Simon, how did you come up with the idea of ​​this film?"

Simon was well prepared for this question and said without hesitation: "This film is not caused by a certain inspiration. It should be the result of a long accumulation of many thoughts, so it will be divided into several different small stories."

After Simon answered this question, the host did not give the reporter another chance and ordered another reporter.

"I'm Ed Burkes, a reporter for the "News of the World", Simon. I found that there are many barefoot scenes of female characters in the film. Excuse me, do you have a foot fetish tendency?"

Simon was stunned for a moment, then remembered that "News of the World" was the unfortunate tabloid that later triggered the News Corporation wiretapping scandal, and immediately understood why the other party asked such a question.

Facing a bunch of curious eyes in the audience with a bit of coaxing, Simon smiled and said: "I like all beautiful things, just like Maggie's expression when she acts like a spoiled child to Sean in the film, Nicole's bangs, Jenny's eyes and all that, oh, and my girlfriend's hands, haven't you noticed? My girlfriend's hands are so pretty, and I even gave them a close-up."

The space on the stage is limited, and as a small supporting role only cameo, Janet did not sit on the stage.

at this time.

Hearing that Simon Westeros suddenly showed his affection in public, the reporters in the audience jokingly agreed.

They all looked at Janet who was standing at the backstage exit of the hall with Mike Medova and others. The woman who had always been heartless was suddenly stared at by so many eyes, and it was rare to blush once, and quickly turned around and hid in the backstage in embarrassment.

After a gag by a reporter from the "News of the World", the press conference returned to the whole again, and the reporters in the hall also turned their questions to Redford, Travolta and others.

Half an hour later, the press conference was over, and Simon also completed the main task of this trip to Cannes. As for "Pulp Fiction", other screenings will be arranged in succession. Simon does not need to attend in person. The main and supporting actors who came to the film festival specially can also leave Cannes.

After the premiere, various mainstream newspapers quickly published media feedback on Pulp Fiction.

Although Simon was very modest at the press conference, this did not hinder the rapid popularity of "Pulp Fiction".

"Variety" on the other side of the ocean unabashedly praised "Pulp Fiction" as a splurge of Westeros movie talent.

The film is just like the lighting and lens level of "Lola Run", the creative closed-loop narrative structure, the large number of vivid characters that can leave a deep impression on people, and many other details have become a topic of discussion for a large number of media for a time. .

Of course, no film can lack critics.

Among the almost one-sided praise, there are also some media criticisms of "Pulp Fiction" for its excessive violence and the imitation of many films, but these criticisms basically did not turn up any storms.

The comprehensive media score of Pulp Fiction was also released soon, with a score of 4.3. Although it was lower than the 4.6 score of Polish director Kieslowski's "Murder Short Film", Simon was relieved after seeing this score.

As we all know, the highest-rated film in Cannes, although the probability of returning empty-handed is very low, but basically never won the Palme d’Or. A 4.3 rating is just right for Simon.

Hilltop mansion in Le Canet.

It was already the evening of the second day, and some cars came here from all over Cannes one after another.

Since he bought a house in Cannes, Simon couldn't be too inhospitable. After discussing with Janet, he planned a very mini party tonight, and only invited some people who were close to the circle to come over for a small gathering.

At about 7:30, the sky was dark outside. Jennifer knocked on the door of the study, approached the large study full of drawing boards, and browsed through the sketchy but sturdy movie concept drawings on the drawing board. Strolled to Simon who was standing in front of the easel by the window, waited for a moment and then said softly, "Boss, everyone is due."

"It'll be right away," Simon added to a concept image of Batman jumping from one tumbling vehicle to another, turning to Jennifer, "How's it going?"

Jennifer looked sideways for a moment, and in her mind there was a thrilling picture of Batman turning from a rolling car to another car that was driving at extreme speed, and said, "This, it must be very dangerous to photograph."

Simon also nodded and said: "It will be broken down as much as possible when the time comes. If the CG technology passes the test, it will probably be enough to make up for some details through special effects."

Jennifer said: "You still need a stand-in."

"It's unavoidable."

Simon said, put down the brush in his hand, washed his hands in the bathroom next door, and came to the hall of the villa on the first floor with Jennifer.

Seeing Simon's appearance, everyone looked over. Simon also chatted casually with Mike Medova, Robert Redford, and others. It was just an ordinary party without any formal links. After the owner of Simon appeared, the party immediately followed. start. There was leisurely music playing in the living room, and everyone gathered together in twos and threes to drink, chat and eat, which seemed very relaxed.

"The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson has resumed. In recent days, more than 70 production companies have reached an agreement with the Screenwriters Guild. Simon, maybe the strike will end at the end of this month. I have already talked to the nbc side. That's right, they are willing to arrange a special interview with the main creator for Pulp Fiction, the time is on the 31st, Simon, your schedule should be fine, right?"

In the hall, Mike Medova spoke to Simon in a low voice with a glass of champagne.

Although it is clear that the screenwriter's strike cannot be ended so easily, the compromise of the second- and third-tier production companies will only arouse a greater rebound from the giants, Simon did not express his views, but nodded: "Of course, I will be on the 25th at the latest. Going back and maybe spending some time in New York."

Mike Medova smiled and said, "About those reality shows produced by your company?"

"yes."

Simon nodded, since it has been publicly promoted to the TV network, it is impossible to hide this kind of thing.

Mike Medova paused and said again: "Simon, I've heard a few things. Your reality shows don't seem to need screenwriters. This may have been nothing in the past, but in the current situation, you're doing it very well. It may lead to hostility from the writers' union."

Simon shrugged helplessly and said, "Mike, if it were any other time, do you think the major TV networks would watch Daenerys Pictures' TV shows?"

Hearing this, Mike Medova had to shake his head and smiled bitterly: "No."

Even Orion Films only started to set up a TV department to get involved in the TV program production business in the first two years, which is enough to show that the threshold for TV program producers is not so easy to get involved in. Daenerys Pictures has yet to prove its potential in television, although it has produced several hit movies. Therefore, even if the major TV networks take a fancy to Danielle

It is impossible to give a good price for the TV programs of Silk Films.

Therefore, the current situation in which the Hollywood screenwriters strike and the major TV networks generally lack TV programs can be said to be the best time for Daenerys Pictures to get involved in the field of TV production. If you miss it, you can only accumulate qualifications little by little. Or buy a TV show production company outright for big bucks to get your ticket to the field.

"So, if you offend the Screenwriters Guild, you will be offended. I can't miss such an opportunity in vain," Simon spread his hands, thought about it, and asked, "Mike, are you planning to sign an agreement with the Screenwriters Guild in advance?"

Mike Medova shook his head shrewdly and said, "Our main business is TV series, and we don't need to do this."

The root cause is well known to everyone, and Simon did not break it.

Those second- and third-tier film companies that compromised made compromises with the Screenwriters Guild in advance. In fact, it was also for survival. After all, there was no business for half a year. Under the current economic environment, it was basically equivalent to closing down. The situation of Orion Pictures may not be very good, but the company is not too old for TV programs. Moreover, several founders are old fritters who have been operating in Hollywood for many years, and they also know that they will compromise with the Screenwriters Guild in advance. There is a very high possibility of being reckoned after the fact.

The two were chatting, and Madonna, who was wearing a black low-cut evening dress, came over with a glass of red wine, raised it to Mike Medova, and said, "What are you two talking about?"

"Good evening, Ms. Ciccone," Mike Medova greeted Madonna with a smile and said 'very witty': "Just some trivia, and it just so happens that I have to meet Travolta as well. Talk about participating in the promotion of the movie, you can talk."

After Mike Medova left, Simon looked around and asked Madonna, "Where's Sean?"

Madonna glanced at Simon and said, "Is Simon more attractive than me?"

Simon said helplessly: "I'm just curious why he didn't come tonight."

"Sean is going to an audition and flew back to Los Angeles last night," Madonna continued to stare at Simon unabashedly, "So, now I'm the only one left."
