While Simon was busy discussing follow-up strategies with everyone, it was already approaching evening on the east coast.
After her last class of the week in the afternoon, Jennifer Raybould drove back to New York in a hurry.
New Haven, Connecticut, where Yale is located, is only over a hundred kilometers away from New York, and Jennifer’s home is also in New York. However, the girl did not rush back to her home on the Upper East Side. Instead, she drove to an apartment on the Upper West Side on the other side of Central Park.
Here lived a friend of my father's named Robert Egger, who was currently serving as vice president of production at ABC Television Network.
Parking the car on the street, Jennifer held the steering wheel and reorganized her thoughts. Various things that happened in the past week could not help but come to mind.
How could those hateful newspapers say that about him.
Although she had not personally experienced the filming of "Run Lola Run", she could feel how much professional preparations he had made for his movie from just a glimpse when she visited him at his residence in Montana.
Also, from the first meeting to the last Sundance Film Festival, there are too many details in our several interactions that are enough to prove his talent.
"Run Lola Run" was definitely written by him himself.
However, those people were unwilling to explore the real truth, but only made speculations and accusations against him out of thin air.
What a bunch of incompetent people.
On Wednesday, she plucked up the courage to call him to express her support and trust.
However, the whole thing has continued until now, but has no intention of cooling down. Naturally, she had a premonition of the conspiracy involved, so she wanted to help him even more.
Like my uncle, my parents are well-known barristers in New York. If he wants to sue those who slandered him, she can help. However, she also understood that he did not need her help in this regard.
As for the rest, she couldn't help him. What could an ordinary girl like herself do
Then, this morning, she saw an article questioning that he had not gone through systematic study and therefore could not have completed the score of "Run Lola Run" by himself. She suddenly thought of the video tape she had recorded when they first met at Venice Beach.
So I quickly found it and quickly made a plan in my mind.
Taking another deep breath, she picked up the backpack placed on the passenger seat, opened the door and got out of the car. He climbed up the steps of a roadside apartment and rang the doorbell.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman in her thirties. Seeing her standing at the door, she smiled a little surprised and let her in, saying: "Jenny, why are you here suddenly?"
"I'm really sorry, Susan, to disturb you at this time," Jennifer hugged the woman named Susan in front of her and said, "But it only takes a while for Bob and I to be on the phone."
Susan Egger shook her head indifferently, took Jennifer into the living room, and called her two daughters, Catherine and Amanda, who were watching TV, to greet her, and explained: "Bob just came back and is changing clothes. , please wait a moment. By the way, I have just brewed the coffee, let’s try it together.”
"Thank you, Susan."
Jennifer nodded, watched Susan walk away, and then smiled and talked to the two eleven or twelve-year-old girls. Since my parents are very good friends, everyone knows each other.
After waiting patiently for a while, Jennifer was chatting with Susan while drinking coffee, when an elegant black-haired middle-aged man came down from upstairs, it was Robert Egger.
When Robert Egg saw Jennifer, he took two steps forward with a smile, gently hugged the girl who stood up, and said: "Jenny, why are you calling me? Also, when you come back at this time, tell your father Mommy?"
"I'll go back later." Jennifer was a little embarrassed when she heard Robert Egger's question, but still said: "Bob, I hope you can do me a favor."
With that said, Jennifer had already taken out a box of video tapes from her backpack.
Robert Egger's family was a little confused when they saw Jennifer's actions, and they just waited for her to continue.
Jennifer raised the video tape in her hand, thought for a moment, and asked, "Bob, is there a video recorder in your study?"
Robert Egger shook his head in confusion.
When Susan Egger saw the situation in front of her, she roughly felt that she understood something, and took the initiative: "Jenny, we have it in the bedroom, you can go there and have a look."
Listening to Susan's tone, Jennifer realized that she must have thought this video tape was some kind of scandal. She quickly shook her head, pointed to the video recorder in the living room, and said with a smile: "You can play it here, too."
Robert Egger's youngest daughter Amanda suddenly became interested when she heard that the video was going to be played. She stepped forward and snatched the videotape from Jennifer's hand and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it."
Both the Eggers knew that Jennifer was a very measured girl. Seeing that she did not stop their youngest daughter from snatching the video tape, they sat down on the sofa together, smiling and waiting to watch the contents of the tape.
After a while, the play button was pressed and Amanda stepped aside.
The first thing that appeared on the TV screen was a stall selling various hanging accessories. The camera seemed a bit careless, and you could faintly hear people talking next to it, mixed with the sound of a broken guitar, like tuning.
Then, as a male voice said, "Flight of the Bumblebee, for Jenny," the smart and urgent guitar sound immediately flowed out of Robert Egger's home theater with excellent sound effects.
Because at a certain moment, everyone around him suddenly fell silent, and the guitar sound at this time seemed pure and clear, with a certain mysterious attraction.
Although she has relived it countless times, Jennifer still showed a touch of satisfaction on her face as she listened to the tunes coming from the stereo. Robert Egger also raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Jennifer with surprise and confusion.
Susan Egger even asked directly: "You play so well, Jenny, who is this?"
Before Jennifer could answer, the camera on the TV screen had already turned around and quickly focused on a big boy holding an acoustic guitar.
The image quality of Super 8mm film was still good, so when a certain figure appeared in the lens, Susan Egger and the two little girls were still a little confused, but Robert Egger's eyes narrowed instantly.
Jennifer withdrew her attention from the TV screen, glanced at Robert Egger, noticed the change in his expression, and suddenly felt a little more confident.
The videotape is not long, only about five minutes.
However, when the crazy playing on the TV screen ended, Robert Egger's youngest daughter Amanda reacted from her surprise and immediately exclaimed loudly: "That's so cool, Dad, I want to learn guitar too. And, Jenny , is this your boyfriend, can you let him teach me?"
As Amanda said this, Robert's eldest daughter Catherine also turned her head to look at her parents expectantly.
Susan Egger finally reacted at this time, but she still felt a little unbelievable and said: "This boy, it seems, should be the Simon Westeros, right?"
Jennifer smiled and nodded.
Robert Egger was already lost in thought.
Why have so many media been frantically chasing news about Simon Westeros this week? The reason is simple, because Simon has strong social attention, which can bring higher newspaper sales and TV program ratings.
However, as the core of this incident, Simon Westeros has never directly responded to the hot discussion in the media, which has to be said to be a pity.
Accordingly, whether they are fans of "Run Lola Run" or ordinary passers-by, because Simon Westeros avoids the media, he is bound to be very interested in media information that directly involves him personally.
Under such circumstances, a videotape suddenly appeared showing Simon Westeros' amazing guitar skills, and it could just answer many media questions about Simon Westeros during this period.
So, what kind of effect would it have if it was broadcast on a television network
After thinking for a moment, Robert Egger stood up, walked over and took out the video tape himself, weighed it in his hand, then turned to look over and said, "Jenny, what do you want me to do?"
Jennifer also stood up, looked at Robert, with rare determination in her eyes, and said, "Tomorrow, "Good Morning America."
