"Well done, Murphy."

Bill Rothes walked over first, smiling, "Better than I expected." ”

"Thank you." Murphy smiled back.

Following Bill Rothes was Joel Graham, who just glanced at Murphy but didn't say anything, Murphy took the initiative to reach out and said politely, "Thank you for coming over and watching my film." ”

Joel Graham nodded to this side, shook his hand lightly, and turned and walked down the aisle towards the exit of the screening room.

Needless to say, Murphy could also tell that he was not interested in "Hard Fruit Candy".

Jones Butler, a black woman, then walked over, first said hello to Bill Rothes, and smiled at Murphy, "Very good movie." ”

Murphy shook her outstretched hand hard, "Thank you, I'm honored for your compliment." ”

Compared to these two people, Baker Larsente, who came over at the end, was much more casual, and he waved his hand at Bill Rossis and Murphy, "Can we talk as we go?" ”

"Absolutely." Murphy made a gesture of please, led the way, and caught up with Joel Graham and Jones Butler, who were walking ahead of him, who were walking outside the theater under the guidance of Paul Wilson, and he invited at the right time, "I booked a seat at the Fiero restaurant, do you have time?" ”

"I'm sorry," Jones Butler said, "I'm going to get off the field." ”

Joel Graham also shook his head in refusal.

The group walked out of the theater at this time, the car called by Bill Rothes was already waiting here, and after Paul Wilson stepped forward and pulled the car door, Jones Butler and Joel Graham quickly got in the car, looking like they were indeed going to be in a hurry.

After this period of adjustment, Murphy has completely regained his calm, and it is normal to be rejected, compared to the buyers of these distribution companies, he is really an inconspicuous little person as a rookie director.

Baker Larsente walked over unhurriedly from behind, but instead of getting into the car, he stopped in front of Murphy, "Director Stanton, your film is very interesting, but the audience is a problem......"

He originally looked at Murphy's face, and his gaze gradually moved down, "I am personally very optimistic about this film, but considering the audience, it must be considered carefully." ”

The gaze was a little burning, and Murphy felt very uncomfortable, but it was difficult to say anything.

Baker Larsente's eyes finally stopped on his strong chest, and the conversation suddenly changed, "Dinner is free, I know there is a bar three streets away, if you are interested, we can go over and have a drink." ”

His eyes lifted and he looked at Murphy, as if waiting for a suitable answer.

On the new side, Murphy may not understand the meaning, but now he doesn't understand it.

Without any hesitation, he shook his head in refusal, and casually made up a reason, "I'm sorry, I quit drinking." ”

"It's a pity......" Baker Larsente didn't dwell on it, turning to get into the car, "goodbye." ”

Looking at the cars in the distance, Murphy looked calm, at least two of the three professional filmmakers will not pay attention to "Hard Candy" anymore.

He said that he didn't expect that he would attract a glass peep, and he had no problem with his comrades, but he lacked the slightest interest in doing anything.

It's true that following some potential rules of the game in Hollywood would have made it smoother, but that doesn't mean he's going to sell himself.

Standing here alone, Murphy turned his head to look back, and on the steps at the entrance to the theater, Paul Wilson and Bill Rothes were standing there, probably not hearing Baker Larsente's words, with some curiosity on their faces.

Not far behind them, there was also a middle-aged man looking over here, and he was standing here when he just came out.

The screening of "Hard Candy" ended, and it was a little more deserted than Murphy had expected, and the fantasy of countless distribution companies crying and scrambling did not appear, but Jones Butler and Baker Larsente sensibly expressed interest, and the latter may have abandoned the film because of his refusal.

Shaking his head vigorously, Murphy sighed, this road to Hollywood is far more difficult than imagined.

But no matter how difficult the road is, it can't scare him, and it can't stop his determination to climb up, he must break out of his own world in this incomparably realistic and complex circle.

Now is just the beginning!

Turning around, Murphy strode back to the door of the theater, and had just stepped up the steps when the middle-aged man behind Bill Rothes and Paul Wilson suddenly walked over and came directly in front of him.

"Hello...... the middle-aged man said politely, "I want to ask, are you the director of "Hard Candy"? ”

"Yes," Murphy asked, looking at him, as if he had seen it in the theater before, vaguely remembering how many times he had changed seats, from the back row to his, "may I ask who you are?" ”

"My name is Tony Guzman." As he spoke, the middle-aged man stretched out his right hand, "From the Fox searchlight." ”

Murphy reached out and shook it, "Hello, Mr. Guzman, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

This is his sincere words, the other party is obviously a professional filmmaker and buyer, and he didn't accept the invitation to come, and took the initiative to find him after watching the film, which shows that he is at least interested in "Fruit Hard Candy".

"Hello, Mr. Guzmán." Bill Rothes on the other side took the initiative to come over and introduce himself, "Bill Rothes, Murphy's agent, is from CAA. ”

Hearing the latter name, Tony Guzman gave Bill Rosis a serious look and shook hands with him to say hello.

I have to say that CAA's name is indeed loud enough.

"Two ......," Tony Guzmán directly asked the doubts in his heart, "Who is the producer or investor of the film?" ”

"The film was produced by my Stanton studio." Murphy knew what he was asking, "It's all from my personal investment, and the rights are all in Stanton Studios." ”

Tony Guzmán nodded, "Let's put it this way, Director Stanton, I'm a little interested in this film, and I may need to take my colleagues to watch it later." ”

"No problem." Murphy pulled out his business card and handed it over, "Welcome at any time." ”

After taking the business card, Tony Guzman put it away, and gave Murphy another business card of his own, this time the purpose has been achieved, and he will not stay anymore.

"I'm going to catch up on another show." He took his leave, "I hope we have a chance to work together." ”

Murphy shook his hand and said goodbye, "I'd love to have the opportunity to work with Fox Searchlight." ”

Sending off Tony Guzman, Murphy didn't plan to stay any longer, sealed the film with Paul Wilson, returned to the hotel, and the next morning, received a call from Bill Rothes, Jones Butler wanted to take a few other people to watch "Hard Candy" again.
