"What a coincidence, Murphy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Sitting at the same table, Catherine Zeta-Jones took the initiative to greet Murphy, and the two had known each other since Miramax Film was running "Chicago".

"yes, Kate." Murphy smiled and nodded at her, "Long time no see, you're prettier." ”

"Thank you."

She introduces Michael Douglas next to Murphy, "This is my husband......"

"Oh, I know." Murphy stood up and reached out to Michael Douglas, "Hello, Michael, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Michael Douglas pulled a smile on his long face, "I'm glad to meet you, Murphy." ”

His laugh is only on the surface, Robert Downey Sr. is annoying, Robert Downey Jr. is even more annoying, and his nemesis Murphy Stanton is equally annoying.

Murphy had a warm smile on his face, and his calm eyes hid a sharpness that was difficult for others to detect, and when he saw Michael Douglas on the other side, who also had a warm smile, he could only think of two things: poison. Pin and Robert Downey Jr. squatted in jail.

But Murphy knows very well that the Douglas family is deeply rooted in Hollywood and cannot be easily shaken, and what he really wants to do must be carefully planned with Downey.

"Michael, I have great admiration for Mr. Kirk-Douglas." What Murphy said seemed to be true, "Can I visit him?" ”

Michael Douglas frowned slightly, then let go and said politely: "Of course, my father has always been very hospitable." He loves your film noir very much, is a big fan of yours and will definitely welcome you. ”

Murphy surprised: "It's my pleasure. ”

At the same time, his head spun rapidly, thinking about everything about the father and son, trying to find something to use in it, and the final conclusion was still poison. Product.

Throughout the dinner, Murphy and the Michael Douglas couple talked and laughed, but they kept thinking about how to deal with the Douglas father and son.

While Robert Downey Jr. doesn't have tangible evidence that it all has anything to do with them, this kind of thing doesn't need proof at all.

After the banquet, Murphy walked out of the Beverly Hills Hilton together thanks to Katherine Zeta-Jones' connections.

There are still a lot of paparazzi and reporters squatting outside the hotel, and I saw an English rose, an Oscar-winning actor and a new first-line director walking out together, surrounding them like flies smelling blood, and throwing all kinds of questions at the three of them as if they didn't want money.

Murphy replied seriously to these guys' questions, "Yes, I am very good friends with Michael." ”

Michael Douglas stood right next to him, smiling cooperatively in front of the cameras of reporters and paparazzi.

Murphy reached out and put his arm around Michael Douglas's shoulder, and then replied to another reporter's nomination, "Of course I want to work with an Oscar-winning actor, and it's definitely a pleasure to make a movie with an acting school like Michael." ”

Catherine Zeta-Jones looked at Murphy and then at Michael Douglas, and always felt that something was not right, and these two people became familiar with each other too quickly, right? Is it really so fateful?

It's not bad to get to know a great director! She looked at Murphy, the two of them were obviously going downhill now, and the benefits of getting to know a director who could save even a rotten thing like Robert Downey Jr. definitely outweighed the disadvantages.

In the face of media reporters, Michael Douglas's acting skills will not be worse than anyone's, he patted Murphy on the shoulder hard, and said to reporters, "Hollywood movies are becoming more and more homogeneous, and there are too few directors with a unique style like Murphy, and it is every actor's dream to be able to cooperate with such a director." ”

Murphy and Michael Douglas glanced at each other and smiled heartily at the same time.

At midnight, Murphy returned to Beverly Hills, and the next morning, he spoke on the phone with Robert Downey Jr., made an appointment, and then contacted Ross to meet in the afternoon near Old Chinatown in the heart of downtown.

After lunch, Murphy drove out of Beverly Hills and back to the familiar downtown slums, which are still dilapidated and miserably ruined, showing the true side of America.

Black SUVs cut through the narrow streets of Old Chinatown, with fewer Chinese signs on either side than before, and Murphy had heard people say that Old Chinatown had become a Vietnamese world.

"The Vietnamese are ambitious and unruly."

Still in the old bar, Murphy met Rose, who had not seen him for a long time, and he talked about some of the situation in the city center, "The Vietnamese also want to meddle in the underground arms and antique arms in the city center. Ke alkali trade, has been in conflict with my people several times. ”

Murphy was just listening, not expressing any opinion, and for some reason, he felt that this friend had more words than before.

The door to the tavern was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a bald black man walked in, smiling at Murphy and then saying, "Wade Wilson's guy is here. ”

Rose looked at the bald black man suspiciously, obviously not understanding who he was talking about.

Murphy reminded, "Downey is here. ”

Hearing this, the black man laughed and touched his bald head.

"He's not going to be Wade Wilson next," Murphy joked with the black man, "he's going to be Tony Stark soon." ”

While talking, someone walked in, Robert Downey Jr. was wearing a well-fitting suit, a pair of sunglasses, and meticulously combed his hair.

He stood under the headlights at the door of the tavern, spread his hands like the protagonist of a movie, and said with a big grin, "Hey, you two shady guys, are you waiting for me?" Actually, I came a long time ago, but I didn't want to sit here and wait for you, I wanted you to wait, so I walked around the old China town and met a Vietnamese ......"

"Shut up, Donnie." Murphy wasn't interested in who he had met, so he interrupted the rambling guy and pointed at Rose and asked, "Why, don't you know him?" ”

"Of course I do." Robert Downey Jr. looked at Rose and put away the playful smile on his face, "How could I have forgotten Rose, we were called the Three Heroes of the State Prison at the beginning." ”

"Hi, Rose." He beckoned to Rose, "You still look as fierce as before, and how many people's heads have been blown out, I think your experience could be made into a movie." You see, directed by Murphy, I will star, we don't charge you a penny, you go to Hollywood to inquire, is there a better thing than this? ”

Rose didn't interrupt Robert Downey Jr., took a deep look at him, stood up and walked over, stretched out his hands, and hugged him hard, Robert Downey Jr. was a little stunned, but also hugged Rose back.

The bald black man next to him looked at Rose and Robert Downey Jr. who were hugging each other, and kept touching his shiny bald head, as if he had heard someone say that the true love of his boss was Downey.

Now it seems that there is such a thing.

"Alright, you two will catch up later," Murphy interrupted Ross and Robert Downey Jr., "let's get down to business now." ”

Ross and Robert Downey Jr. sat at the front of the bar like Murphy, and Murphy asked the bartender to pour them two dark beers, saying, "Downey has found out who framed him for hiding and transporting drugs." ”

The playfulness and frivolity on Robert Downey Jr.'s face was gone, replaced by ruthlessness and resentment, "I won't let those bastards go!" I'm going to ruin them! ”

Subsequently, he roughly told Rose about the lack of evidence he found, Rose nodded lightly, and said, "At that time, I thought that you went to prison was a bit strange, nine out of ten Hollywood stars took drugs and possessed drugs, why did the Los Angeles police find out about you, with your capital at that time, this was not a big deal, but the prosecutor kept chasing you until you were sent to prison, there must be someone behind the scenes." ”

"There was really a bit of a conflict between my father and Kirk Douglas." Robert Downey Jr.'s face was gloomy, "That old fox hit me with the idea......"

Speaking of this, he shook his head, if he hadn't given someone a handle, there would be no follow-up.

In fact, being sentenced to prison is not entirely a bad thing, he met Murphy in it, and then his whole life changed, the previous little Robert Downey disappeared completely, and a new little Robert Downey was born......

If it weren't for this particular experience, Robert Downey Jr. wouldn't be able to say what would have happened to him in the future? may sink into the sea of poison and never be able to extricate itself......

Rose thought for a moment and asked, "How do you guys want to solve it?" ”

He didn't say anything more and had already decided to get involved, and while it wasn't Murphy's business, he had an equally close relationship with Robert Downey Jr.

"At last night's Oscar night party," Murphy said lightly, "I met Mr. and Mrs. Michael Douglas and chatted with Michael Douglas for a while. ”

Robert Downey Jr. answered, "Your picture with him has appeared in the newspapers. ”

"If you want to defeat someone, you must first understand him." Murphy suddenly laughed, "Michael Douglas's acting skills are quite good. ”

casually said this, and he returned to the topic, "Michael Douglass and his ex-wife have a son, not for Catherine Zeta-Jones, but for him and Kirk Douglas ......"

Murphy didn't say it explicitly, but Rose and Robert Downey Jr. understood.

The three of them pushed out the bald black man and the waiter at the bar, and it was not until two hours later that Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. walked out of the bar and left separately.

After another day in Los Angeles, Murphy returned to Paris to continue his filming. (To be continued.) )
