The cool night breeze blew from the west and fell on the faces of the three people, extinguishing the previous heat and making their alcohol-stimulated heads a lot more sober, standing on the sidewalk outside the bar, James Franco stared closely at the fat man ten feet away, as if he wanted to continue the fight, but the body hiding behind Murphy exposed the essence of the strong outside.
The fat man shook his head vigorously, as if he had been beaten by Murphy, and he still hadn't fully recovered.
Murphy gently patted James Franco's arm with his backhand, and Luo Lanlan didn't know why, and her originally tense body unconsciously relaxed.
By the bright street lamp, Murphy looked at the fat man's cheek, where he was hit, it was obviously swollen, and he couldn't help but shake his head, since leaving the prison, he had not fought with anyone, and never thought that fighting was the solution to the problem, and the brawls in the prison were just for self-preservation.
If it weren't for the fat man who wanted to smash the rotten Lanlan with the wine bottle, Murphy wouldn't have given him this punch.
Probably gradually sobering up, the fat man also looked towards Murphy, different from the red face and angry eyes in the bar, he looked a little honest when he calmed down.
Looking at the current situation, Murphy knew that the impulsive feelings of both parties had calmed down, and he couldn't help but nod his head at the fat man.
The fat man touched the back of his head embarrassedly, took two steps forward, and said to Murphy from a short distance, "I'm sorry for what happened just now, I was impulsive." ”
Hearing this, Murphy glanced back at James Franco, who didn't seem to expect the other party to take the initiative to apologize, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.
"It's okay." Murphy is not the kind of person who is unreasonable, not to mention that the fat man took the initiative to apologize, "I also want to say sorry to you." ”
The fat man unconsciously touched his still swollen face.
"Are you alright?" James Franco walked out from behind Murphy, "Need to go to the hospital?" ”
"No, no." The fat man hurriedly waved his hand, "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”
He looked at James Franco, "I drank and was too impulsive. ”
James Franco is weird, but not bad, "I speak too loudly. ”
He turned his head and glared at Murphy, wasn't this guy, would he say so loudly?
There have been a lot of people around looking at this side, and a few of them have come out of the bar, as if they have come out to wait to see a good show, and seeing that the two sides not only did not fight, but actually reconciled, there was a burst of coaxing.
Seeing that the fat man and James Franco were still sticky and saying that it was all his fault, Murphy walked over, interrupted the two of them, and reminded, "Don't let people watch the show, let's talk about it in another place." ”
He looked at James Franco, who had not yet achieved his goal, and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to supper." ”
"Together." He glanced at the fat man's somewhat familiar face again, and pointed to Mr. Zhou's restaurant not far away, "Right here, you have to give me a chance to apologize for what happened just now, right?" ”
The fat man hesitated, but seeing that it was in Mr. Zhou's restaurant, not going to a remote place, he finally nodded, "Okay...... Well, I'll go. ”
Five minutes later, the three of them sat at a table by the window in Mr. Zhou's restaurant.
"My name is James Franco...... "Rotten Lanlan took the initiative to introduce, and pointed to Murphy and said, "He's Murphy Stanton." ”
The fat man's glasses were not recovered, and he could only squint at the person, "My name is Seth?" Logan. ”
"Listen to your accent," Murphy asked tentatively, "it seems to be Canadian." ”
"I just came to Los Angeles from Vancouver." The fat man touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Come here to see if there are any development opportunities." ”
"Development opportunities?" James Franco was puzzled.
"I'm a comedian."
The waiter brought a cold towel at this time, Seth Rogan took it and put it on his face, and continued in a sullen voice, "I want to come to Hollywood." ”
"So that's ......" James Franco suddenly stretched out a hand, "Reacquaint, I'm James Franco, you can call me Jim, and I'm also an actor who has starred in several small-budget movies." ”
Seth Rogan looked at him in surprise and mechanically shook his right hand.
James Franco added, "This is Murphy Stanton, he's a director, a ......"
He raised his right hand, pinched his index finger and thumb together, made a small gesture, and said in an exaggerated tone, "This guy is also the owner of a very, very small film company. ”
"Hello." Murphy reached out and shook Seth Rogen, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Seemingly unaccustomed to this formal way of greeting, Seth Rogen nodded stunned, "Seth Rogen, a Vancouver Chinese, won second place in the Vancouver Amateur Comedy Competition. ”
At this time, the waiter brought the dishes ordered by the three of them, and they ordered Western-style Chinese food, and they also used knives and forks to eat.
"I've been in Los Angeles for a while and couldn't find a suitable role."
During the meal and chat, Seth Rogen also explained why he was so angry before, "I just met an agent today, he made some disgusting requests, I had a fight with him, and I was in a bad mood, so I ......"
He shrugged.
James Franco glanced at Murphy, "I said it so loudly because of this guy, he had to let me star in his movie." ”
"Hey! Hey! Jim! Murphy knocked on the table and reminded, "We didn't quarrel because of that. ”
He looked at James Franco, who immediately remembered Murphy's words, and a little embarrassment appeared on his old face.
"You guys ......" Seth Rogun couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Ignore him." James Franco shoved a piece of broccoli into his mouth and muttered as he chewed, "This guy is very picky." ”
"Jim, that's your mistake." Murphy put down his knife and fork, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, "Did I say I wouldn't pay you?" Did I say I was going to deliberately lower your salary? ”
Seth Rogen looked at Murphy and then at James Franco, confused.
Murphy picked up his glass of water, took a sip, and deliberately repeated the old words, "It's you who are ungrateful." ”
James Franco straightened his neck again, and was about to say something, but he saw Seth Rogan next to him, remembered what happened in the bar, and the rebuttal fell back into his stomach, and he was stuffy for ten seconds before he said in a mosquito-like voice, "She...... Is she also on the crew? ”
Murphy raised an eyebrow, "What do you think?" ”
"That...... That ......" James Franco clenched his fist and coughed softly to his lips, "I, I don't want to play against her." ”
