Chapter 443: The Show Begins
Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!
Hearing that it was Murphy Stanton's suggestion, Robert Downey Sr. immediately paid attention to it, compared to his own unreliable son, how reliable is Murphy Stanton's work?
Since he gave Robert Downey Jr. advice, it must be very targeted!
Thinking of this, Robert Downey Sr. couldn't wait to ask, "What did Murphy say?" ”
He suggested that Indio study abroad for a while. "Robert Downey Jr. www.biquge.info said very seriously, "Go to China on the other side of the Pacific, where the crackdown on drugs is very severe, and the forces like the Douglas family here can't affect the ...... there at all."
Robert Downey Sr. thought for a few minutes and nodded slowly, "It is indeed the safest way to let Indio stay there for a while. ”
He looked at Robert Downey Jr. and said, "You go and do this, get Indio over as soon as possible." ”
Robert Downey Jr. nodded, "I'll talk to Indio tomorrow." ”
As the night grew darker, Beverly Hills was as quiet as ever, and in the large living room of the main building of Wave Manor, Murphy had just walked from the dining room when he saw Gal Gadot, who had come before, talking to the housekeeper Catherine about some of the living facilities that needed to be purchased.
"In the three servants' rooms, remove the upper and lower double beds that are being used."
Gal Gadot has adapted to her role as hostess, having moved from UCLA to the end of her studies, and in addition to her studies and work, she has kept the huge estate in order, "all in new single beds for the newcomers." ”
Catherine is a middle-aged woman from the United Kingdom who is average-looking and fat, has received professional training in housekeeping, and is also recommended by the CAA, Gal Gadot thinks is the most suitable one.
"I'll have someone do it tomorrow." She said.
Gal Gadot reminded again, "By the previous standard." ”
She saw Murphy come over and waved at Catherine, who turned and walked out of the living room.
Murphy poured himself and Gal Gadot a glass of water each, and went over to sit next to her, Gal Gadot continued the conversation in the restaurant before, "How do you propose that Indio Downey go to China on the other side of the Pacific?" The culture and living environment there are completely different from here. ”
"But he's the least likely to be tempted with drugs over there." Murphy took a sip from his glass, "He's Donnie's biggest weakness. ”
Others don't know, but he clearly remembers that three generations of the Donnie family have fallen in front of drugs.
Gal Gadot frowned, "But we don't know anything about it, and it's ...... in the news."
"Honey, you've been there with me...... Murphy reminded her, "is the situation over there the same as the one described in the news here?" ”
Gal Gadot shook his head.
Murphy went on to say, "No matter what the media in North America says, China across the Pacific is one of the most secure and hardest countries in the world to crack down on drug control." ”
After living here for many years, especially struggling at the bottom, he realized how good the social environment and order of the place where he once lived.
Since Murphy said so, Gal Gadot no longer cares about this matter, but says, "I understand, Michael Douglas is also forgotten, Kirk Douglas used to be a very powerful figure in Hollywood, and it is not easy to deal with, you have to be cautious." ”
"We know he's not easy to deal with." Murphy leaned back on the couch, "Otherwise we wouldn't have endured it for so long." ”
Although Murphy didn't say it explicitly, Gal Gadot knew that the 'we' in his mouth meant the entire Stanton party.
Gal Gadot concluded, "Kirk Douglas is a veteran member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and a Jew. ”
Murphy nodded slightly, "I know." ”
If you follow the normal train of thought, a director who is interested in the Oscar for Best Director is better not to provoke people like Kirk Douglas, it is easy to add some unnecessary obstacles to his future awards.
But in the face of brothers and interests, the guys James Franco, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogan all chose the former, and Murphy was no exception.
There are a lot of things in this world that sometimes can't be done in a routine and normal way.
If you follow universal standards, love. The childish James Franco, the drug-addicted Jonah Hill and Robert Downey Jr., who has a disgraceful drug history, are all some despicable guys, and only Seth Rogan is a bit of a good guy, but the reality is that they are not only Murphy's best friends, but also good brothers who help each other.
"Pay attention to the degree thereof." Gal Gadot is still a little worried.
"Don't worry." Murphy patted Gal Gadot's hand lightly, "We'...... None of Downey's involvement was involved, and even if things were out of control, they couldn't find our heads. ”
Not to mention him and Robert Downey Jr., even Rose and his men, I'm afraid it's hard to be connected.
Gal Gadot took one look and sighed softly, most of the time, Murphy was a very nice person, but at some moments, he would turn into a demon.
Such a person is her choice, she has known what kind of person he is since she met him from a short time, but she still chooses him.
Because she knows that only such a person can protect her and himself in this sinister society.
Having grown up in Israel since childhood, the country is surrounded by wolves, Gal Gadot knows that it is not easy to live well in this world.
"Let's go around the garden." Murphy proposed.
Gal Gadot stood up, "Okay. ”
The two left the white main building and entered through the back door into the garden at the rear of the estate, which had been carefully tended, with the exception of the sparse coconut and palm trees, most of which were evergreen shrubs and seasonal flowers.
Walking down the granite-paved path, Gal Gadot looked at the blooming flowers around him and said, "Having such a private garden is almost unthinkable in Israel." ”
Murphy deliberately said, "Honey, your dream has come true. ”
Gal Gadot deliberately pinched his arm.
Of all the flowers in the back garden, the most striking are the hundreds of birds of paradise, one of the most common flowers in Los Angeles and the city flower of Los Angeles.
Gal Gadot noticed Murphy's gaze and suddenly asked, "Are you a native of Los Angeles, do you know where this flower came from?" ”
How could Murphy know, and shook his head directly.
Gal Gadot pursed his lips and said simply, "The bird of paradise, also known as the crane orchid, is native to southern Africa, this kind of flower is born, the shape is peculiar, the color is dazzling, like a crane looking into the distance, so it is also called the crane orchid, and therefore regarded as a mascot, deeply loved by people." ”
Murphy nodded and asked, "How did it become the city flower of Los Angeles?" ”
"Los Angeles has a mix of oceanic and desert climates, thanks to Pacific breezes and sunshine, warm winters, and a haven for tropical and subtropical plants. This environment is very suitable for the growth of Crane Hope Orchid. Therefore, in Los Angeles, the bird of paradise can be seen in full bloom almost everywhere, so the bird of paradise has become the city flower of Los Angeles. ”
"You know so much, dear." Murphy duly complimented him.
After so many years of emotional progress, he is not the super rookie he was at the beginning, although his emotional intelligence has not been very high, but he is not a super stupid.
At this time, Murphy's energy is highly focused, in addition to always paying attention to the news from Rose's side, he has to continue to work hard for the promotion of "Inglourious Basterds".
Just entered late August, Murphy deliberately answered a few questions from reporters before entering the Fox Tower in Century City, in order to maintain the topic of "Inglourious Basterds".
"I didn't expect to talk to you about Inglourious Basterds right now, because just a year ago, you were talking to Quentin about taking over this project, isn't it a little too fast?"
Hearing this question from the reporter who squeezed in front of him, Murphy said directly, "If you work the way I do filming, things will be much simpler." You can spend more time shooting a shot, and every director wants that. However, there are examples that tell us not to do this, such as giving you three days to shoot a shot, and often you don't finish it. If you shoot like this, the traces of the drama on the screen will be obvious, and I'm glad that I did it quickly this time. ”
Another reporter then asked, "Isn't there a lot of pressure to make a movie like this?" ”
"Whenever I drive back to the hotel at the end of the day's shooting, I think, it's so cool, I should have taken something in time for today." Now Murphy, answering this kind of question hardly requires much thought, "But I can't relax, because there's something to shoot tomorrow, and this kind of work will continue for months." To be honest, I enjoyed the film. ”
After answering two questions, Murphy, with the help of several security personnel, squeezed out of the circle of reporters and entered the Fox Building.
In the following days, in addition to continuing to cooperate with Twentieth Century Fox to promote "Inglourious Basterds", Murphy also kept an eye on the news from Rose's side, and it is not difficult to see from a series of news that the fish that had eaten the bait before not only took the bait, but also bit more and more tightly, and was following the fishing line, gradually approaching the place that the angler wanted him to reach.
Although there were some voices in the Jewish circle in Hollywood that were not very good for him, Murphy did not think about backing down, and finally in late August, he got the exact news from Ross that the fish was going to act!
After planning for so long, he also wanted to see the final result, so he specially called a few other people to wait for the start of a good show. (To be continued.) )
