Chapter 107: Exchange

Ask for a subscription! Ask for a commuter pass! Ask for a referral ticket!

"Nine o'clock tomorrow morning? Ok no problem. ”

In the bathroom of the secluded restaurant, Murphy listened to the voice ringing on the phone and continued, "Please get the projection equipment ready, well, see you tomorrow." ”

Hanging up the phone, he exhaled, walked to the sink, washed his hands, and the cold water fell on his hands, because some of the hot heads gradually calmed down because of the four phone calls that came one after another, although Lionsgate, Morris Entertainment, Miramax and Fox Searchlight all called to hold a preview meeting within the company, but Murphy knew that the success of the film was still far away.

Walking out of the bathroom, Murphy found that at the head of the hallway, Carey Mulligan had his hands behind his back, and his baby face was a little anxious, walking back and forth, obviously waiting for him.

"You've finally come out." When she saw Murphy, she immediately greeted her, "I'm ready to let Paul in for so long." ”

"What can I do?" Murphy pulled her out, saying as he went, "Two more calls." ”

Carey Mulligan asked with concern, "Is it still a publishing company?" ”

"Fox Searchlight and Miramax." He raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Lunch can't go on, let's go back and prepare." ”

"Hmm." Carey Mulligan knows the importance of distribution.

Not only to Murphy, but also herself, although the first film was released, there were almost no fans who knew her, and even those who attended acting classes together, few thought that she had starred in a real feature film, and when she talked about it, they all thought she was joking.

Especially a nasty English girl, who always used this to ridicule her.

Back in a semi-open private room, Murphy saw Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill, two fat men, still eating Hesse, and Bill Rosis leaned around James Franco and whispered, he didn't want to dig into the corner of the wall now, but James Franco has not given a positive response.

Murphy slapped his palms vigorously, and the other four looked over, and he said, "That's the end of the final lunch, and the phone calls from Miramax and Fox Searchlight, we should go back and get ready." ”

These people were not dissatisfied, but their faces bloomed with smiles, especially Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, who participated in the movie for the first time, the two fat men raised their hands and high-fived each other, shouting loudly, "Yes! ”

With a downward gesture, Murphy said, "Tomorrow morning we're going to both companies for a preview meeting. ”

He looked at his agent, "Bill, if you have time, can you go to Morris Entertainment with Jonah with a copy?" ”

Bill Rothes didn't think about it, so he nodded in response, "No problem, just leave it to me." ”

Although he is not a professional producer, he has seen this film several times from the completion of the fine cut to the present, and he is very confident.

Murphy looked at Seth Rogan again, "You come with me to Miramax." ”

It is not difficult to see from the arrangement that Murphy has great expectations for Miramax, who has already worked together once.

"Hey! And me! James Franco held up his hand, "Where am I going?" ”

He felt as if he was being excluded from a small group, and it was a bad feeling.

Bill Rothes shook his head at Murphy, "It's enough for two of me, Jonah and I. ”

Murphy shook his head at James Franco, "You'll be my chauffeur tomorrow." ”

Removing Kerry Mulligan's coat from the hanger by the door, Murphy draped it over her and said to the men, "Hurry up, we're going to get the copies." ”

The neighborhood where Stanton Studios is located is not very secure, and the copies are deposited by Murphy with a professional security company, which has a very good reputation in Hollywood, and many studios also store copies of new films there.

Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock in the morning to rush to Miramax, the copy must be taken out in advance.

Murphy settled the bill and walked out of the restaurant, first called to make an appointment, and then drove to Beverly Hills, where he took out the copy, and sent Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, who were temporarily out of car, to the place they had just shared, and then returned to the Stanton studio.

After parking the car, Murphy asked Carey Mulligan to open the door, and he opened the trunk to move the copy film inside.

"I'll help you," Carey Mulligan said as he walked back, reaching for the round film box in Murphy's hand, "give it to me." ”

"You go and rest."

The film looked weightless, layered together, but it was actually quite heavy, and Murphy picked one up in one hand and walked towards the door.

Carey Mulligan looked at his back, then at the copy stuffed in the trunk, and without much thought, picked one up, closed the trunk, and followed Murphy.

The copy was a little heavy, and she clenched her teeth tightly, refusing to give up lightly.

Entering the living room to put down the copy, Murphy heard footsteps behind him, turned to see that Carey Mulligan's white forehead was covered with sweat drops, and hurriedly walked over to take the film box in her hand.

He leaned over her forehead and kissed her gently, "You......"

Kerry Mulligan crossed his waist and gasped hard, "I just wanted to help you." ”

"I know," looking at the sweat left on her forehead, Murphy didn't say much, and patted her on the shoulder affectionately, "Let's go." ”

He certainly wouldn't let Kerry Mulligan continue to do such rough work, and if nothing else, the high heels she was wearing wouldn't fit.

Opening the back box, Murphy picked up two more reels of film, saw that Carey Mulligan wanted to help again, and said, "You look at the copy here, this is all we have." ”

Hearing this, Carey Mulligan withdrew his hand and nodded solemnly.

Packing up the copies, both of them were sweating, and now in mid-June, Los Angeles had entered the hottest season, and after showering in the bathroom, Murphy and Carey Mulligan no longer planned to go downstairs and hide in the master bedroom on the second floor to enjoy the coolness of the air conditioning.

Carey Mulligan sat on a couch with his legs bent and his hands on his knees, "I wish the film could get into the theater soon." ”

"In a hurry?" Murphy poured a glass of water, placed it on the small table in front of her, pulled over a chair, and sat opposite, "Don't worry, believe me, our film will definitely be screened in theaters." ”

"I just wanted to prove to the guys in the acting class...... "I looked up at Murphy, "I've been the heroine of a real feature film." ”

Hearing this, Murphy understood that this was the little girl's show-off mentality, and reached out and pinched the cute baby face, "When the film is released, you can invite them to the theater to watch the movie." ”

"I don't have any money...... Carey Mulligan's worried eyebrows furrowed, "My salary is all given to the acting school, there are too many people in the acting class, and my money is too little." ”

"I can help you out." Murphy looked at the hem of Kerry Mulligan's short pajamas, "You're going to have to figure out what to trade it for." ”

Kerry Mulligan couldn't understand this kind of erotic remark, jumped up from the couch, jumped over the table and pounced, and the whole person was pressed on Murphy's body.

The night was long, and when the sun rose again, there was more important things for Murphy to do. (To be continued.) )
