In the past, Murphy has also encountered this situation, so when he heard the young man introduce himself as a screenwriter and director, he slowly put away the enthusiastic smile that only he can have when facing fans.

"My name is Crettina-Wilkinson, and I'm from Massachusetts...... "The young man continues to introduce himself with confidence in his words, "I went through a major at New York University's Film Institute, majoring in screenwriting and directing. ”

Murphy nodded slightly, there are not many well-known Hollywood directors from the New York University Film Institute, and the most famous one he knows is undoubtedly Ang Lee.

There is also a saying within Hollywood that students from the Film Institute of New York University are often less realistic than those of the University of Southern California Film School, which is closer to Hollywood.

In a place like Hollywood, if you don't follow the actual situation, you can only rely on your own imagination to do things, and the results can be imagined.

Although he thought so in his head, Murphy didn't show it, just looked at this young man named Crettna-Wilkinson, anyway, he had more time today, and he also wanted to see if the other party could really come up with something that surprised him.

Cretta Wilkinson is very young, he looks about twenty-five, he has a faint pride on his face, and he speaks quite confidently, "When I was studying at the Film Graduate School of New York University, I wrote and directed three experimental films, each of which caused a strong response on campus, and I was ......recommended by five professors for it."

Murphy frowned slightly, Cretan Na-Wilkinson was too verbose, if he hadn't had time today, he would have been impatient.

Critta Wilkinson was still gushing about the capital he had accumulated in school, but unfortunately Murphy was not interested at all, and neither would any Hollywood producer.

There are many excellent film students graduating from professional universities every year, but few of them can get ahead.

A fool would just listen to him and look at his brilliant experience in school, and think that he is a super genius.

So, Murphy directly interrupted Cretan Na-Wilkinson's words and asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Hearing Murphy's question, Critan-Wilkinson swallowed hard, pressed the unspoken glorious experiences back into his stomach, opened the brand new briefcase, took out a stack of staple paper that was not too thick, and handed it to Murphy.

"It's a script I wrote." Critan-Wilkinson explained, "Director Stanton, please take a look. ”

If you are an executive of other film companies, you won't take it at all, but Murphy is different, after all, he has experienced a situation where no one cares about him at the bottom, he knows that it is not easy for a starter, and if the project can really move him, he is willing to give young people a chance.

Murphy took the script and pointed to the seat opposite, "You sit down first, I'll take a look." ”

"Hmm!" Crette-Wilkinson was clearly confident in his script, sat across from him, and waited with peace of mind.

Flipping through the script, Murphy skimmed through it at a very fast speed, but after only three pages, he frowned, the script is not a linear narrative!

Turning more than twenty pages back, his brows furrowed even deeper, this is still a science fiction genre!

Turning the text and scenes of the script into pictures in his mind, Murphy immediately came to the conclusion that he wanted to use special effects on a large scale based on years of experience, and a large number of special effects meant a super high investment.

Science fiction themes, non-linear narratives, obscure plots, and relatively high production costs......

These are completely equated with super-high risks!

No investor likes big risk, and Murphy is no exception, especially when there is no corresponding huge benefit behind this risk.

He closed the script and just wanted to return it to Crett Na Wilkinson, but what he didn't expect was that Crete Na Wilkinson was the first to speak.

"Director Stanton......" This young man is really full of self-confidence, "If you want to buy this script, my director's position is the most basic premise!" Otherwise, I will resolutely not sell! ”

"Uh......" Murphy was not only stunned, but even a little surprised.

He has been in Hollywood for so many years, and it is not that there are no screenwriters or directors running in front of him to sell his projects, but this is the first time he has encountered this kind of unbelievable situation.

Maybe it was infected by Robert Downey Jr., Murphy was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked with a hint of bad taste, "Are there any other conditions?" Say it together. ”

"Absolutely!" Criter Na Wilkinson was not polite at all, and continued to say with confidence, "If your company wants to invest in my script, I have to be both a writer and a director, and I can do without directing ......."

That's the most reliable thing Murphy has ever heard from Crett-Wilkinson.

But the other party's next words made him wonder if he had met the legendary 'super genius'!

"My condition is that your company will sign a VAM dividend agreement with me." "The film grossed more than $25 million at the North American box office, one percent of which went to my dividends. More than $50 million rose to 2 percent, $75 million was 3 percent, and $100 million was 4 percent......"

Crittna Wilkinson looked at Murphy, according to his train of thought and his understanding of Hollywood from the Internet, in the face of such an excellent script of his own, Murphy Stanton and the Stanton studio behind him will definitely agree, because he is confident that this film can be successful, and the other party should also be able to think that this film will be successful in the future, then Stanton Studio will take the majority of the revenue, and he will take a small part, absolutely no problem.

Whether it is the students in the school, the professors at the New York University Film Institute, or most of the audience who have seen his experimental films, they all think that he is a genius!

These people can see that he is a genius, and Murphy Stanton must be no exception!

Of course, he shouted such a high price to leave room for the other party to bargain, as long as Murphy Stanton's sincerity is enough, it is not impossible to make appropriate concessions.

Even if Murphy Stanton disagrees, it's nothing, such an excellent script plus a super genius like himself, if you come to the door to sell it later, aren't the major Hollywood companies rushing to ask for it?

Murphy was quite speechless, he really didn't know if it was his own IQ problem, or the genius opposite him had a problem......

He shoved the script in front of Crett Sodium Wilkinson, who asked, "Director Stanton, is my script okay?" Can we work together? ”

"Script ......" Murphy shook his head and said simply, "Since you're going to direct this film, can I read your project proposal?" ”

Crett Na-Wilkinson was stunned by Murphy's question, "Project plan?" ”

A screenwriter and director who came to Hollywood to get money to invest in his own project, without even the most basic project plan, is it true that Hollywood production companies are charities?

Murphy really didn't bother to say anything, he didn't even have the most basic project plan, he only had a script in his hand, and he ran to ask for investment to become a director, which is really a genius approach.

What's more, the script is too creative, and he doesn't want to bear the risk of combining creativity and newcomers, and it is estimated that 99% of Hollywood producers will not bear it.

In addition, there is no even the most basic project plan, and there is no suspense about the remaining one percent.

"That's all for today." Murphy stood up and said casually, "I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first." ”

Critan-Wilkinson was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Murphy meant, and only then did he wake up when Murphy was about to walk out of the booth.

Murphy Stanton doesn't want to work with him! Cretan Na-Wilkinson immediately realized this.

But he didn't move, just turned his head to look at Murphy, picked up the script and put it in his briefcase, and the arrogance on his face was even more.

Probably didn't expect to follow Murphy Stanton in from the outside, and waited so long to get such a result, Crett Na Wilkinson subconsciously muttered, "A director doesn't know how to respect art!" I don't know the importance of talent creation, it's not worthy of the name! ”

It was like talking to himself, but it was something that Murphy could hear.

Murphy didn't look back, and if he was familiar with such a 'super genius', he would also turn himself into such a 'super genius'.

Murphy really doesn't know whether to call a naïve or an idiot like Crettine Wilkinson, who thinks that he can get investment with a script, and doesn't even need a plan or anything else, as long as he has a mouthpiece.

Leaving the café, Murphy no longer cares about this young man called Crete Na Wilkinson, Hollywood has countless young people with beautiful dreams coming here every day, although there are few successful people, but a naïve and naïve person like Crete Na Wilkinson can only be described as extremely rare.

If Critana Wilkinson had come up with a scripted script and a detailed plan, without those unrealistic conditions, Murphy might have considered it.

As for the talent and creativity of the other party, these are never lacking in Hollywood.

Many people think that as long as they are talented in Hollywood, they will definitely shine, and good stories and good movies will definitely kill Hollywood and even the world, but Murphy has been in Hollywood for almost ten years, and he was bleeding at first, and now he is gradually climbing to the top of this circle, and he has a deep understanding of this.

Hollywood is indeed a place where art and talent are created, but in fact, making movies is a business, not an art. (To be continued.) )
