Chapter Seventy-One: I Can Invest in You

Beg............ Beg...... Beg...... Recommended Ticket!

The sun had barely climbed the horizon and had not yet illuminated the gloomy Latin neighborhood, when a van turned out of the T-junction and rampaged into the narrow neighborhood road, finally stopping in front of a small dilapidated building amid the glaring gaze of countless people. β–³οΌŒ

The person in the co-pilot picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number, and said loudly, "Boss, the car has arrived, you guys get down." ”

This phone call seemed to be the opening overture, and the originally quiet small building was boiling instantly, and stout men, carrying packed boxes, walked out of the small building.

The last thing to come out was a Latin man with a dense tattoo on his hand, and he reminded loudly, "You bastards should pay attention to me, you bastards, handle them gently, the boxes are full of art!" ”

"Boss......" A bald black man walked to the back door of the truck, handed the box to another person on it, turned his head and pulled out a smile, "You put your heart in your stomach, can this little thing stump us?" ”

The sun rose from a small building behind the truck, and the ten thousand rays of light shone on the black man's head, reflecting a little starlight, and the black man smiled, his teeth looked extremely white, "Boss, I didn't expect you to really know the owner of the film company, you tell Mr. Stanton, when can we show up in the movie." ”

Murphy carried his briefcase and walked out of the small building, "If you want, you can do it next month." ”

Hearing this, the black man was stunned, and Murphy walked up to Ross and said, "But there is no salary, no lines, and it will be dismantled." ”

There was laughter all around, and the black man touched his head in embarrassment.

The few boxes were quickly moved, and the truck slowly started out of the Latin neighborhood and headed for Murphy's newly found house.

It's been almost a week since he returned to Los Angeles, and in addition to completely completing the deal with Miramax Films, Murphy spent most of his time looking at the house with the real estate agent introduced by Robert, and his requirements were a bit much, the house should be both used for office and his temporary residence, and the price should not be too expensive, and it took a while to find it, and only yesterday did he sign a formal lease contract.

Located on the border between Santa Monica and West Hollywood, on the outskirts of the Valley District, the house is a small two-story building with an area of about 150 square meters on the first floor, two separate bedrooms with bathrooms and a study on the second floor, which fully meets Murphy's requirements.

Located in a relatively good section, the house is not small, and the rent is certainly not cheap, Murphy has to pay 5,500 dollars a month, which is still a friendly price for Robert's face.

Another thing that can make Murphy like is that the house was originally the office of a small company, which had just moved to an office building not long ago, and many old desks, chairs and equipment were left behind, which were originally to be disposed of as scrap, and were bought by Murphy at a very low price.

The truck passed through West Hollywood, passed through the Green Zone of Santa Monica, and headed west along the palm-lined road, and finally stopped in front of the detached house, where Murphy's Ford followed, and he parked the car, greeted Rose, who was driving in another car, and directed his men to unload the car.

Pushing open the wrought iron door and crossing the stone pavement less than thirty feet long, Murphy walked up the high steps, took out the key to open the door, waved to the back, and walked in first.

TongguΓ² entrance is a living room with a huge area, but there is no furniture such as sofas in the living room, but it is occupied by more than a dozen desks with partitions, these are all office equipment received by Murphy, which looks a little old, but before moving, he found a housekeeping company to clean it, and it looks neat and orderly.

"This ......"

He walked up the stairs leading to the second floor in the living room and opened a door, which was an underground storage room almost the size of the living room.

Except for a few useful things such as notebooks, they may not be used in a short period of time, or even in the future.

It could have been put in the pantry first, and then he could have put it in his hands.

The move was quickly completed, and Murphy took them to a nearby restaurant, where they had to take care of the food as the host, anyway.

Rose called him back last night, and heard Murphy talk about moving and brought this group of people with him.

In the restaurant, everyone else sat together to enjoy a barbecue, and Murphy and Rose sat alone in a booth, eating and chatting.

"...... so"

Hearing Murphy talk about his experience at the St. Denis Film Festival, Rose looked up in surprise, "You invested more than 300,000 dollars in the film, and finally sold a million dollars?" ”

"yes," Murphy said vaguely, munching on the fragrant roast meat, "and it won't be long before you should be able to see the movie in the theater." ”

The film is small, and Miramax Films will not invest too many resources, and after a simple promotion, it will be promoted to the theater market, and later it will be pushed into TV broadcast and video channels.

"So profitable?" Rose furrowed his eyebrows, and his scarred face showed a thoughtful look, "The input-output ratio is amazing." ”

Murphy swallowed the food in his mouth, "It's just luck, if you're not lucky, the $300,000 may be waste." ”

"No, no," Rose put down his knife and fork, raised his finger and shook it, "If it is luck once, so many times add up, it can't be explained by luck." ”

Since he met Murphy in prison, he has done many unexpected things, and Rose can't count it.

Murphy smiled, abruptly changed the subject, and shouted to a few people at the other table, "When my film is released, I invite you to watch the movie together." ”

There was laughter again, and the bald black man, apparently an activist, asked aloud, "Can you get a few beautiful actresses to accompany you?" Don't they all say that there are a lot of beautiful girls in Hollywood? ”

Raising a hand, Murphy raised a middle finger high over there.

The sound of laughter rang out again.

Murphy shook his head and turned back to find that Rose on the other side was still looking thoughtful.

"You're going to keep making movies?" Rose looked at him and asked, "Really?" ”

"Didn't I tell you?" Murphy picked up the glass and took a sip before changing his previous tone, "My future is in Hollywood." ”

Instead of teasing and ridiculing, Ross solemnly asked, "Is there a new film plan?" ”

"There are some ideas." Murphy has always treated him as his best friend, and he doesn't hide it, "It's still tidying up, it's going to take a while." ”

Nodding slightly, Rose said without warning, "I can invest in your new movie." ”

Murphy was surprised, completely unexpecting Rose to have such an idea.
