The sun is setting, the evening in Los Angeles is hot, and in front of the Chandler Hall in the music center, what is hotter than the weather is the madness of reporters, who are either holding microphones or holding cameras, in order to compete for a better spot, they do not hesitate to fight shoulder to shoulder, and squeeze a way out of the crowd.

The suit is wrinkled, the tie is crooked, but no one cares, and in the eyes of these reporters who specialize in entertainment news, these are worth it.

Because on the red carpet in front of them, Steven Spielberg had just walked by, and Tom Cruise, who had recently divorced, came over with his new girlfriend Penelope Cruz, followed by Peter Jackson, the fat New Zealand man, these are all popular figures in Hollywood, and the photos can be on the headlines of tomorrow's entertainment section, and if they can be interviewed for some exclusive information, then it will be posted.

Even if there are too many reporters around them to squeeze in, isn't there a director like Murphy Stanton to interview?

However, if you can interview popular directors and stars, no one will go to a director of Murphy Stanton's level.

A B-grade film director, the audience is still very limited.

Probably because of the organizer's arrangement, Murphy walked on the red carpet only to find that he was sandwiched between Peter Jackson and Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe, who became famous because of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", and walked all the way to the end of the red carpet, and few reporters paid attention to him.

Murphy is also happy to be clean, and now that "Planet of Terror" has been released, there is no need for him to use the opportunity of the Saturn Award to gain attention and publicity.

He didn't even enter the interview area, and walked directly into Chandler Hall, where this year's Saturn Awards ceremony was held.

This is the 82nd Saturn Awards ceremony, which was originally held in early June, but at the end of May, the CIA and the FBI jointly issued a warning that al-Qaeda may launch a new round of terrorist attacks across the United States, and large-scale events with celebrities are the primary target.

Walking into Chandler Hall, Murphy, under the command of a staff member, quickly found the location of the "Saw Horror" crew, and when he passed, he found James Franco, Seth Rogan, and Jonah Hill already sitting together.

"Over here, Murphy!" Seth Rogan beckoned to Murphy, and Jonah Hill simply stood up, "Come here!" ”

Murphy strode over and sat down on the empty chair on James Franco's left-hand side, looked across him at Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill, who were squeezing their eyebrows, and asked, "Urgent?" ”

"It's not urgent." It was James Franco who spoke, "It was the two of them who discovered what they thought was interesting." ”

There was still some time before the awards ceremony began, and Murphy asked boredly, "You two, tell me what's going on?" ”

"Murphy, look over there." Jonah Hill stretched out his hand and pointed to the front row on the left, "Look who that is!" ”

Following his hand, Murphy recognized the super-handsome guy in Hollywood with just one look, "Tom Cruise, it seems that there is a Spanish actress next to him, I can't remember what his name is." ”

"Leave this Latina woman alone," Seth Rogun leaned over and reminded him, "Look at Tom Cruise's seventh position to the right." ”

Murphy turned his eyes and the first thing he saw was a curly red hair, which was different from Jessica Chastain's red hair, with more gold mixed with red.

Although he could only see a back and a less clear side, Murphy made a little discernment and recognized who the woman was, it was the ex-wife of superstar Tom Cruise that Jonah Hill had just shown him, and one of them was nominated for Best Actor and the other for Best Actress at this year's Saturn Awards.

"Did you think they'd win?" Jonah Hill was like discovering a new continent.

Seth Rogen looked over there groping his fat chin and said: "With the urine nature of the organizers of these Hollywood events, they will definitely award the best actor to Tom Cruise first, and then the best actress to Nicole Kidman." ”

Murphy nodded approvingly, "If I were the planner of this awards ceremony, I would definitely let Nicole Kidman present the award to Tom Cruise first, and then let Tom Cruise present the award to Nicole Kidman." Only in this way can there be gimmicks, news points, and ratings. ”

James Franco, who had been silent, couldn't help but sneer: "It's a waste that you're not the director of the Saturn Awards!" ”

Murphy smiled and shrugged his shoulders, pretending to be confident, "I think so too." ”

"What if...... I mean, if the two of them actually met on the podium," Seth Rogun was still looking over there, as if hoping that would happen, "what would the two of them look like?" ”

"Calmly present the award, calmly receive the award." Murphy gave an answer without even thinking about it, "Smile at each other, hug affectionately, prove to everyone that we are still good friends even if we are separated." ”

Jonah Hill didn't seem to believe Murphy's words and questioned, "Can they really do this?" ”

"Nonsense! They did a better job than Murphy said," James Franco tapped hard on the armrest of his chair and reminded, "You two idiots, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are the best actors in Hollywood!" ”

Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen were skeptical of Murphy and James Franco's words, but the awards ceremony that began later confirmed Murphy and James Franco's words, when Nicole Kidman won the Best Actress at this year's Saturn Awards, passed by Tom Cruise's seat, and came to the stage to accept the award, Tom Cruise took the initiative to stand up and congratulate his ex-wife, and the two smiled at each other and hugged affectionately, as if the things that they wanted to kill each other a year ago never happened.

Jonah Hill was stunned until Nicole Kidman walked up to the podium and sighed, "This is Hollywood!" ”

The biggest attraction tonight is undoubtedly the former couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, who won Best Actor and Best Actress respectively for "Vanilla Sky" and "Island Cry".

It's a joyous event, the winning films are box office hits, and there are no unpopular films that most audiences have never seen or heard of, this is the moment of science fiction, fantasy and horror.

Unlike the Oscars, which are both elegant and popular, and different from the artistic triumph of international film festivals such as Venice, the Saturn Awards have always been about encouraging excellent sci-fi, fantasy and horror films, in other words, it is an award ceremony that belongs entirely to mainstream commercial films.

These can also be seen from the winners and the films, the Oscar-dismissive Tom Cruise is the darling here, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has nine nominations, and Peter Jackson has won best director for "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship......

"Dear Murphy, don't be sad, don't be sad," looking at Peter Jackson, who received the Best Director Award on stage, James Franco suddenly whispered, "It's just the Saturn Awards, and one day in the future, maybe you will become the Oscar for Best Director." ”

Murphy squinted at him, "Am I that stupid?" Thought that with "Saw Horror" could defeat Peter Jackson and Spielberg. ”

He glanced at the award presenters who walked onto the stage, "This is the award we can get." ”

On stage, sweet-looking Jessica Alba is reading the list of nominees for the best horror film at this year's Saturn Awards, "The nominees for the 28th Saturn Awards for Best Horror Film are: "Island Horror", "Ghost Boy's Hospital", "Thrilling Cannibal", "Thirteenth Street", "Chainsaw". ”

She smiled at the stage, her smile sunny and innocent.

"It has to be us! It has to be us! Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill kept whispering.

James Franco also put away his playful expression, and his face tightened.

Murphy unconsciously clenched his fists, this is the first time since he transferred to the film industry that he may win a heavyweight award, and there is a Saturn Award by his side, whether it is to attract investment or find distribution in the future, it will be much more convenient.

And his next step is to need such a heavyweight award to increase his persuasiveness, so that he can convince the notoriously stubborn guy in the comic book world.

Bill Rothes and Grace's agents also did a lot of work ahead of the ceremony, and Murphy believes he still has hope of winning the award.

The biggest competitor is undoubtedly "Island Horror", but this film has already won Best Actress, and from the perspective of sharing the cake, "Chainsaw" has a better chance of winning the award.

"The winner is ......" Jessica Alba opened the envelope in her hand and said the final answer with her trademark sunny smile on her face, "Saw Horror!" ”

"Wow!" Two strange screams rang out next to it, and it was the excited voices of Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill.

James Franco, who was calmer than them, stood up as soon as possible, looked at Murphy, and clapped his palms.

The applause rang out from all directions, converging on Murphy's place, Murphy's clenched fist shook vigorously in his chest, and he stood up!

Buttoning one button of his suit, Murphy hugged James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Jonah Hill one by one, and then walked to the stage.

"This is the young director who has sold two small budgets in a row?" Under the stage, Spielberg saw the assistant next to him nodding after asking this sentence, and said, "Let people keep an eye on him, pay attention to his new project, and notify me immediately if there is any news." ”

On stage, Murphy took the trophy representing Best Horror Film from Jessica Alba, opened his hand and hugged the chocolate beauty politely, then stood in front of the microphone in the center of the stage, looked down at the trophy in his hand, and said, "Thank you......" (To be continued.) )
