Chapter 027

"Vincent, it's not black gear. I need bright gears with metallic luster, preferably stainless steel."

"Do you need grooves on the sides? Like the gears in Chaplin's modern times, I think that would be more artistic. "

"No, we don't need any grooves on the sides."

"It's going to be monotonous, Simon. I'll show you a part."

"Of course I know, but multiple gears overlap to create a three-dimensional sense, so that it won't be monotonous, just like my concept map."

"Simon, your concept map is beautiful, but it's very amateur."

"So I'm the customer, you're the owner, Vincent. It's up to you how to realize my idea as much as possible. What's more, when the wall clock is running, these gears must all rotate with it. I need to give people a very strong sense of time passing. "

"Two options, Simon, if you only need to show such an effect, I can set up another power system, which is very simple and cheap. If you want to integrate this set of gears with the mechanical structure of the clock, you may have to wait two or three months, and it's very expensive. "

"I'll take the first one."

"Well, then, look at your next concept map, and this is, um, butterfly?"

At the counter of the strong watch shop, Sandra Bullock sat quietly next to the boy with Simon's backpack in his arms, listening to a series of conversations between him and Vincent strong, the owner of the watch shop. Although she had a smile on her face, she felt a little distressed that she couldn't insert a word.

At the same time, Sandra looked at the two concept maps that Simone showed to the shopkeeper more than once.

Here are two wall clocks.

The first one with a pendant, the main body is made up of a lot of dense gears. Because it's only light gray pencil drawing, it's really easy to remind people of the scenes in Chaplin's modern times.

The other clock is a butterfly, with a very beautiful pattern. The pattern and texture of the butterfly are cleverly divided into 12 hours. Listen to Simon and the owner of the dialogue, he seems to want to make gold, it must be more beautiful.

Simon and the shopkeeper had a full discussion for more than ten minutes and confirmed in detail the details of the two wall clocks and the customized price.

Finally, after paying the deposit, Simon left the watch shop with Sandra.

Standing on the street, Sandra watched Simon look around again, cheered up, and said with a smile as if nothing had happened: "so, where are we going next?"

Although the girl covered up very well, Simon still felt Sandra's slight complaint in his voice and pointed to a cafe across the street: "Nah, please have coffee and talk about the movie by the way."

Some discontent that just rose from the bottom of my heart suddenly disappeared.

He found that he seemed happy to follow him across the street, and secretly laughed at himself.

A worthless guy.

However.

It doesn't matter.

Simon locked his bike on the side of the street. They went into the coffee shop together and found a place to sit down.

After ordering coffee and a plate of muffins, Sandra first asked, "Simon, what do those two wall clocks do?"

Simon patiently explained: "there are two shooting props. The gear clock is used to shoot the beginning of the movie, and the butterfly clock is the setting in Lola's room. As clocks, of course, they all represent the passage of time. However, the butterfly clock has another meaning. I hope this movie can pave the way for my other movie. "

In the original version of "Lola Run", two clock props appeared successively are of European retro type. This is also in line with the overall style of Berlin, an ancient European Metropolis.

But Simon is in Los Angeles now.

A new and dynamic city.

Therefore, if we continue to copy the original version, the two European retro clocks will be very inconsistent in the new film.

Because the time, place, story and so on of the new film need to be adjusted greatly, Simon is actually remaking another completely different "Lola Run".

In this case, Simon also intends to show some completely different ideas from the original.

In fact, the original version of "Lola Run" does not convey much too profound philosophical thinking, or even just some specious truth.

Director Tom tikwei just wanted to show his various ideas accumulated as a crazy video game fan through a movie, so he quickly wrote the script and shot it. The hero is his good friend, the heroine is his girlfriend, and most of his other characters are acquaintances. We happily produced a very interesting movie film.

Now, Simon's purpose in making this film is also very simple and clear.

First: make a cool movie and show Hollywood what you can do.

Second: through the production of this film, we can get familiar with the production process of Hollywood film in the film age.Third, promote the concept of "Butterfly Effect" to pave the way for the release of "Butterfly Effect" in the future.

Among them, the first two are the goals Simon must achieve, and the third is incidental. If it can be achieved, it will be better, and it doesn't matter if it can't be achieved.

However, although the third goal depends on luck, Simon spared no effort in the details of his performance.

Just customized two wall clocks, the first modern gear wall clock is to match the new shooting environment. The second Butterfly Wall Clock explicitly implies the concept of "Butterfly Effect".

In fact, Simon plans to set up three "Butterfly" images in the film.

If there are only one or two images, it's not easy to leave a deep impression on the audience. If there are more than three images, it's just right to set up three images.

The waiter brought up their coffee. Sandra waited for each other to leave and asked, "another movie? Are you going to make two films? "

"No," Simon said, shaking his head, "the other is the butterfly effect. You should have heard about these days, right? I wrote that play. "

Sandra just signed a contract with Jonathan last week. In the following days, a media storm broke out around the wma packaging project, which led to the company's infighting. The girl was worried about whether she would find another agent just after signing the contract. How could she not know the butterfly effect.

However, in any case, she did not expect that the script "Butterfly Effect" would be written by the big boy opposite.

After staring at Simon for a few minutes, Sandra finally exclaimed, "Wow

Simon just shrugged and went on: "most people who have seen the butterfly effect think the name is too unpopular. The plot of "Lola Run" can explain the concept of "Butterfly Effect" vividly. Therefore, through the explicit props of the butterfly wall clock, I hope that "Lola Run" can let more people know the term "butterfly effect."
