Chapter 207: Pick-up (Asking for Subscription)
"Uncle Nivo," the girl looked at Ivy Nivo with a curious face, "what are you talking about?" ”
She spoke with a distinct accent, Murphy had heard a lot of British and Australian accents, which was obviously neither, and from the girl's appearance, she was supposed to be from Israel.
Ivy Nivo is also an Israeli, but he has changed to American citizenship, and there are many Jews like him in the United States.
"We're talking about the new film I'm investing in," Ivy Nivo said, smiling, "and we're all talking about whether this film can sell 80 million dollars in North America." ”
The girl nodded knowingly, "Is that the film based on the comics?" Called......"
She frowned and thought for a moment, then finally shook her head, "I can't remember what it's called." ”
"It's okay." Ivy Nivo motioned to Murphy's side, "Come, I'll introduce you." ”
"This is Mr. Harvey Weinstein, president of Miramax Films," he said, looking at Murphy again, "This is Director Murphy Stanton, the director of the film I invested in, the most talented young director in Hollywood." ”
He then introduced to Murphy, "Harvey, Murphy, this is Gal Gadot, the daughter of an old friend of mine in Israel, who is representing Israel in the Miss Universe 2003 contest. ”
"Hello."
"Hello."
A few people greeted each other politely.
Murphy chatted with Ivy Nyvo and Harvey Weinstein for a few more words, and when he saw that guests were coming to greet Ivy Nievo, he politely said goodbye and left the place.
He was joined by Harvey Weinstein.
The two walked towards a quiet resting place and chatted about Sin City.
"It's important that all the post-production work be done before April 20," Harvey Weinstein advises, "and we're going to hold a series of auditions before the film is released to create a word-of-mouth effect for the official release later." ”
Murphy nodded, "It's definitely going to be done on time." ”
Sin City is in the final stages of post-production, and all that's left is the more piecemeal and easy-to-do work like adding subtitles and further refining the sound editing.
After walking a short distance, he had just entered the edge of the lawn where dozens of small round tables were placed, and Murphy saw Robert Downey Jr. and James Franco, two guys surrounded by several beautiful women, laughing and drinking together.
"We'll talk another day." Murphy gestured to Robert Downey Jr. and James Franco, "I'm going to talk to them for a while." ”
Seeing Harvey Weinstein nodding slightly, Murphy walked over with his VIP full-time service girl, Mila Kirston, and before he could get there, Robert Downey Jr.'s voice came over.
"Hey, Murphy! You're late! His voice was quite high, "Three cups of self-punishment!" ”
James Franco stretched out his arms and motioned to the five beautiful women around him, "Look, we've even found someone to drink with!" ”
The women let out a laugh, followed by glasses and pours.
As Murphy walked that way, he whispered to Mila Kirston, "Who are these?" ”
After taking a long turn at the party, he had already discovered that only a few guests had full-time service staff like Mira Kirston, who wore cheongsam, and they were all full-time employees of the party company and had a high level of personal quality.
The women next to Robert Downey Jr. and James Franco were wearing extremely short skirts, and they were clearly not full-time service personnel like Mila Kirston.
Mila Kirston, who had been keeping a proper distance from Murphy, leaned in a little closer, and said in a low voice, "It's a party girl hired by the company." ”
Murphy nodded slightly, understanding that the so-called party girls were actually dedicated to eating, drinking and having fun with guests.
"Slow death, Murphy!" Robert Downey Jr. raised a wine glass and shook it at Murphy, "When did you become so inkblotted?" ”
"Am I not here?"
Murphy walked over to the table, Mila Kirston pulled out a chair first, nodded in thanks, sat down, took the glass from a brunette and touched it with James Franco and Robert Downey Jr., and drank it all.
Mila Kirsten stood right next to her, silent unlike the heckling party girls opposite.
"Go on! Go on! ”
Robert Downey Jr. leaned back in his chair, put his left hand around a brown-haired woman, and kept shouting, "Come, keep pouring wine!" ”
Another woman picked up the bottle and filled it with wine for Murphy, James Franco, and Robert Downey Jr.
This time it was different from the champagne I just drank, it was obviously whiskey, and it was definitely uncomfortable to eat such a glass of whiskey.
Murphy is not an alcoholic, and the amount of alcohol is not very good, and it is estimated that if he drinks such a glass, even if he does not get under the table, it will not be much better.
"Jim, when did you come back?" Murphy didn't take Robert Downey Jr.'s words at all, but turned to James Franco and said, "I remember you weren't going to sea for a vacation?" ”
James Franco mumbled, "Her mom came back and didn't make it." ”
Robert Downey Jr. next to him was about to persuade him to drink, but James Franco suddenly looked ahead with wide eyes and reminded, "Donnie, look, isn't it the Miss Universe we just met?" ”
Robert Downey Jr. immediately turned his head to look, "That's right, it's one of those Miss Universe, Seth's fat man also asked someone, it seems to be Miss Israel." ”
Hearing this, Murphy turned his head slightly, a girl was walking from not far away to the resting place, the purple short dress on her body with a pair of straight long legs was very conspicuous, no wonder James Franco would notice her.
This is the Miss Israel who I just met on Ivey Nivo's side to participate in this Miss Universe contest.
"Oh......" Robert Downey Jr. couldn't seem to take his eyes back, "those long legs look so seductive!" ”
He shook his head again, "It's just that your breasts are a little smaller." ”
There was a burst of laughter from the women around him, and Robert Downey Jr. turned around, picked up his glass, and touched the glass on the table in front of Murphy, "Come, let's keep drinking!" Murphy, we're going to have three toasts in a row! ”
If you toast three glasses of whiskey in a row, you will definitely be resisted tonight, Murphy didn't think about it before he stood up and pointed to the side where Robert Downey Jr. was just looking, "I'll go over and say hello." ”
"You know her?" James Franco asked.
Murphy shrugged, "Of course. ”
Robert Downey Jr. pouted, "You don't want to go over and talk, do you?" ”
Murphy ignored him, gave Mila Kirsten a look, told her to wait, and then turned and walked to the left, where the Israeli lady was standing under a palm tree, bored watching the crowd of parties in the distance.
She soon spotted Murphy, and frowned slightly when she saw him walking towards her, there were already too many people to talk to today, otherwise she wouldn't have come to this quiet place.
"Hi, Miss Gadot."
Murphy walked over to the palm tree and offered to say hello, and Gal Gadot smiled politely, "Hello, Director Stanton." ”
"Why are you standing here?" Murphy said casually, "There will be mosquitoes under the tree." ”
"It's okay." Gal Gado said politely, "Thanks for the reminder." ”
Murphy pointed to a small round table that was empty not far away, "Go sit down for a while?" ”
Gal Gadot shook his head, "No, it's not early, I'll be back to the hotel after standing for a while." ”
"Oh, I almost forgot," Murphy snapped into his mind, as if only now he had to think, "I heard that there was a long time to train and prepare for the big game?" It's hard, isn't it? ”
"It's okay," Gal Gado said casually, "I've been doing physical training since I was a teenager and I'm used to it. ”
A waiter with a tray passed by, Murphy beckoned over, took a glass of wine and just wanted to pass it over, but Gal Gadot shook his head without hesitation, "Alcohol is our taboo!" ”
"I'm sorry......" Murphy nodded, put the wine back on the waiter's tray, waved his hand at him, and waited for the waiter to leave, "You're a lot like some Hollywood actresses, alcohol is the enemy of staying in shape." ”
"Hollywood actress?" Gal Gadot said suspiciously, "The Hollywood actresses I saw at the party were all having a good time. ”
"Oh?" Murphy made a look of interest, "Who are they?" ”
The sense of alienation between the two is obvious, and he is trying to find a topic.
Gal Gadot didn't think much of it, and followed Murphy's words, "Uncle Nivo introduced me to Catherine Zeta-Jones just now, and she drinks quite amazingly! ”
"So she looks a little strong and a little fat!" Whether this has anything to do with drinking, the ghost knows that Murphy is purely nonsense, "Among Hollywood actresses, they definitely belong to the type that is too plump." ”
"That's true." Gal Gadot chimed in, then added, "But she's also successful." ”
"It's a great success," Murphy said with a slight shift to stand next to Gal Gadot and follow her gaze into the distance, so that the relationship between the two men seemed more intimate and helped to reduce the distance between them, "Not every actor can win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and not every actor can be the star of the Oscar for Best Picture." ”
Now it can be said that Catherine Zeta-Jones is at the peak of her career, and she is a successful actress in every way.
"Oscar for Best Picture?" Gal Gadot seems to be only now remembering, "You mean Chicago?" ”
Murphy nodded, "Chicago" was one of the big winners of the recently concluded Oscars.
"Chicago ......," Gal Gadot said with a hint of disdain, "you're a director, do you think Chicago deserves an award?" (To be continued.) )
