Walking out of the detention room, Rose saw a strange man, and when the other party saw him, he greeted him, nodded and said, "Come with me." ”

Rose was a little confused, and although he had just signed some papers, he couldn't figure out who had bailed him out.

Leaving the police station, he raised his tattooed hand to block out the harsh sunlight, followed the man, and asked, "Are you?" ”

"A lawyer." The man didn't look back, and led him to the parking lot, "You can call me Robert." ”

"Robert?" Ross was sure he didn't know any lawyer named Robert.

And all his bank accounts have been temporarily frozen by the police, and several secret accounts are known only to him, and the accusations of drug possession and drug trafficking must require a large amount of bail, who will pay this money for him?

Those collaborators? Would they have such good intentions?

Coming to a black van, Roberta opened the door, turned to Ross and said, "He's up there." ”

Rose tilted his head for a look, then got into the car, and Robert closed the door and walked to his car.

Seeing that the person sitting in the car was Murphy, Robert didn't feel any surprise, all doubts disappeared in an instant, he looked at Murphy, and then at the blonde girl sitting next to him.

"Carrey," Murphy gestured through the window to a Cadillac not far away, "can you help me go and thank Attorney Robert?" ”

With a slight nod, Kerry Mulligan pulled the door and jumped off, turning around and shutting the door again.

Although she is young and rebellious, she is well educated enough that she doesn't like anything about people like Rose, and she is very much against Murphy helping him.

As she grew older and more knowledgeable, Carey Mulligan's naivety did not fade, but she became more mature in her thinking, she did not say anything against Murphy's help, but she could analyze that this kind of thing would only gradually widen the difference between Murphy and Rose.

Despite never interfering in Murphy's private life and relationships, Carey Mulligan, like most girls, doesn't want to see her boyfriend have a friend as complicated and unbearable as Ross.

Coming to Cadillac's side, Kerry Mulligan opened the rear door and got into the car, in addition to Robert in the driver's seat, she and Murphy's agent, Bill Rossy, sat in the passenger seat.

"Bill, is there any reporter staring at Murphy?" She asked first when she got into the car.

"It's much better than we thought." Bill Rothes breathed a sigh of relief with a bit of exhaustion on his face, "Although there is a big sell, Murphy is still an inconspicuous director, not high-profile himself, and lacks attractive news, and most of the media attention is still focused on the 911 chain coverage, and the tabloids and entertainment media pay more attention to the charity activities related to the superstars." ”

To put it bluntly, he still overestimated the appeal of the director of "Chainsaw" to media reporters.

Kerry Mulligan is still a little worried, "Will it be turned over in the future?" Murphy is said to not have a good relationship with the Los Angeles police. ”

"It's fine." Bill Rothes shook his head, "The effect of fried cold rice is very small. ”

Robert, who was older, looked back, "Little one, you look down on me too much. ”

Carey Mulligan's mood relaxed, and he winked mischievously, pretending not to understand.

Robert laughed and turned back.

In fact, Carey Mulligan knows that since Murphy has brought in a lawyer, he must have used legal means.

In the other car, the atmosphere seemed to be a little frozen, and Rose looked at Murphy, but did not say a word, and did not seem to be very comfortable with the current position between the two.

In the past, he was always helping Murphy, fighting in prison, and funding ...... after he got out of prison

Now, the position of the two has changed by 180 degrees, which makes him feel strange.

It's like a dominant person, and suddenly someone robs him of the dominant power, and the feeling is indescribable.

He withdrew his gaze, his eyes fell on the tattoo on the back of his hand, and was silent for a few more moments before he said, "Thank you." ”

"We don't need to talk about that." Murphy had been thinking about the wording, and there were some things he didn't want to say, but he had to say, "Rose, have you considered changing industries?" ”

Although drugs are rampant in the United States, it is really a point of no return.

Rose frowned slightly, "Murphy, thank you for helping me this time, I will be more careful in the future." ”

"Is it enough to be more careful?"

Hearing this, Murphy's words that he had been holding back in his heart for a long time finally couldn't help but pop out, "I know, you guys must have a certain tacit understanding with the police, this time it's the new chief prosecutor who wants to establish his authority, and he doesn't really want to do anything to you, what if he changes another person?" ”

In the past, Murphy didn't even have a secure life, and he couldn't care about anything else, "I also grew up in the slums, and I've seen the end of many people who do this!" ”

He slapped the armrest of his seat vigorously and said loudly, "Rose, are you going to let me collect your body?" Or that you disappeared inexplicably, and in the end you couldn't even find your body! ”

These are the words that Murphy has never said when he came to California, even in the most difficult time in prison.

"There are things you don't understand and you won't understand."

Not far away, a black sedan drove over and stopped, the black bald head that got out of the car was unusually bright, Rose didn't seem to be used to Murphy's way of speaking, pushed the car door and said, "We are already people in two different worlds." ”

He got out of the car, and was about to close the door, when he turned around and said, "Bail? ”

Murphy didn't speak, just shook his head, since the bail of $300,000 was paid, he didn't think about taking it back.

Rose closed the car door and walked towards the bald black man.

Watching Rose get into the car, the car started, and the black sedan gradually disappeared, Murphy slowly closed his eyes, there are some things that he can't persuade after all.

Opened the door and got out of the car, Murphy got into the driver's seat, and Kerry Mulligan on the other side trotted back and sat in the passenger seat.

Fastening his seatbelt, Carey Mulligan looked at Murphy curiously, but Murphy ignored her, picked up his mobile phone and dialed Bill Rosith, "I'll drive the car away first, and I'll send you to the company another day." ”

Hanging up the phone and starting the car, Murphy left the Los Angeles County Police Department.

Carey Mulligan turned his head and could see that Murphy was not in a good mood and seemed to be a little depressed.

"Did something happen?" She asked tentatively.

"It's fine." Murphy turned to her and smiled, "It's just a little trouble." ”

This kind of thing, Carey Mulligan knows as little as possible, in his heart, the other party is still that innocent and cute girl.

It could be seen that the conversation between Murphy and Rose should not be very pleasant, scratching his face, Carey Mulligan didn't know how to comfort Murphy, so he had to learn what he said when he comforted himself, "Honey, it's going to be okay." ”

If a qiē really would get better, the world would not be so complicated, and a person would not experience so many difficulties, but this is obviously impossible.

Still, Murphy turned his head and gave Kerry Mulligan a big smile, as if he had forgotten what he had just done.

Rose's matter was also put aside by him for the time being, and it was really difficult to change a person.

The two have been together for a while, and Carey Mulligan can see that Murphy's mood has not improved, so he simply stopped mentioning this matter and took the initiative to change the subject.

"When I came out this morning," she said, "Rosa told me that the plane ticket to Australia was booked. ”

Murphy patted his forehead lightly, "I seem to have forgotten to ask her to buy a few." ”

"Ordered three." Kerry Mulligan deliberately said, "I know you're busy, and I specifically told Rosa to get three business class tickets to Brisbane. ”

If you want to go on vacation to David Robbie's farm, by the way, you will have an addiction to hunting, and of course, you can't forget to buy a plane ticket for the other party.

Carey Mulligan added, "Are we buying shotguns now?" Or after going to Australia? ”

"Honey, you're not yet eighteen." Murphy shook his head and reminded her, "Do you think you can still bring a shotgun on a plane now?" ”

"yes." Kerry Mulligan grabbed his short blonde hair in annoyance, "Those terrorists, it's so troublesome for us to fly!" ”

With Carey Mulligan constantly stirring up the topic next to him, Murphy's mood gradually improved, and as long as Rose paid attention to himself, there should be no more trouble in the short term, so he put this matter aside and began to prepare for his first vacation trip.

Although Australia is far away in the Western Pacific region, it is traditionally classified as a Western country, and the two places are far apart, but the connection is quite close, and Murphy does not have to worry that if there is any emergency, the studio or Bill Rothes will not be able to contact him.

Especially Bill Rossis, who participated in the whole process of "Chainsaw" was a great success, and he also got a lot of remuneration, which can be described as full of energy, and represented Murphy to participate in the negotiations between Fox Searchlight and companies such as Phiskind and H-Bo, and will pass on the situation to Murphy's side as soon as possible.

There are also overseas distribution rights, and Stanton Studios sold all the overseas distribution rights and merchandise sales rights of the film "Chainsaw" to Fox Searchlight for $12 million, but this does not involve the rights to the series.

The money will not be paid immediately, and Fox Searchlight has limited liquidity and will pay $3 million upfront by the end of the year, with the rest paid in installments.

Before Murphy boarded the plane, Fox Searchlight had reached a videotape and television rights agreement with Pepsi, the former for a 10-year base license fee of $6.5 million for the tape and DVD, and the latter for a two-year first round of television rights of $3.5 million.

Just like box office splitting, TV stations and video tape sellers pay in installments and don't get paid immediately.

Fortunately, after the first $2 million share of "Saw Horror" arrived, even with a lot of expenses, Murphy was not short of money for the time being, and there was enough money for him and Carey Mulligan to travel in Australia.

The 911 attacks completely changed the civil aviation industry, and after an extremely rigorous security check, the Murphy trio boarded the plane and embarked on a journey to Australia. (To be continued.) )
