"Bang ......"

The champagne opened, bubbles erupted, goblets were poured to the brim, and then the weird cries of Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen, "Saturn Award for Best Horror Film!" We've got the Saturn Award for Best Horror Film! ”

The sound of the two of them howling wolves kept echoing in the backyard, but fortunately, the residents here were far apart, and Murphy didn't have to worry about affecting the neighbors for the time being.

James Franco sat on a chair by the pool, picked up a glass of champagne and touched Murphy sitting across from him, "Congratulations! ”

Murphy took a sip of it, "Congratulations!" ”

In any case, he is in a good mood to win this award for best horror film, which will also help the road ahead.

The two guys, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogan, were still howling, howling, and writhing by the pool while drinking.

In the renovated courtyard, two dirty-looking men went crazy, a bit like a wolf howling at midnight.

"You two!" Murphy shouted to them, "The non-slip by the pool is not done, be careful not to fall!" ”

After all, this is a rented house, and after a simple tidying up some time ago, he moved back from the hotel.

Coming back from the Los Angeles Music Center, the four of them were in a good mood and simply came here to have a small celebratory party, and after drinking a lot of wine before, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen gradually passed the excitement and came back to sit next to Murphy and James Franco.

After a few more drinks from the four of them, Jonah Hill suddenly asked, "I heard that your studio is going to add an investment department?" ”

"I can't just hang out in the small tsuò." Murphy put down the goblet and shook his somewhat dizzy head, "The mainstream commercial system has a large investment, and it must attract advertising sponsorship, and I also need a department that can pull advertising." But that's just a preliminary idea. ”

"What do you think of me?" Jonah Hill obviously drank too much, and said in a real and false way, "I'll be the manager of the investment department for you?" ”

Murphy raised an eyebrow, "Jonah, if I didn't hit you, would you sell?" ”

Jonah Hill slapped the table, "Of course! ”

"That's good!" Murphy rummaged through his pocket, pulled out a pen and tossed it to Jonah Hill, "You sell it to me." ”

Taking the pen that Murphy tossed, Jonah Hill thought for a moment and said, "This is a ...... made by Parker."

Murphy raised his hand and interrupted him, "That's corny! ”

Jonah Hill scratched his head, picked up the pen and put it in front of his eyes, not knowing how to continue.

Reaching out and snatching the pen, Murphy tossed it to James Franco and said, "Jim, sell it to me." ”

James Franco picked up the pen, spun it around in his hand, and suddenly picked up a napkin on the table and handed it to Murphy, "Are you Director Murphy Stanton?" I love your movie so much, can you sign it for me? ”

Murphy touched his pocket and took the initiative to take the pen that James Franco handed over again, "See?" I need a pen now. ”

With that, he threw the pen on the table.

Jonah Hill blinked, presumably understanding what Murphy meant.

But Murphy still said directly, "Even Jim is not suitable for this business." You both have a talent for being actors, and you're better suited to be directly involved in film production than to be a salesman. ”

Seth Rogan picked up the champagne and filled everyone again, "Come on, let's keep celebrating!" ”

After another glass of wine, Jonah Hill burped, "Today is a special moment for us, do you guys know?" ”

Murphy and the others shook their heads, and he mysteriously took out a small bag from his trouser pocket, "I had long expected that "Saw Horror" would win the award, so I specially prepared some things for celebration!" ”

"Dangdangdang...... he opened the packet, which contained four white pills, "no one is allowed to rob them, only one per person!" ”

James Franco picked one up, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, "What is this?" ”

“******！” Jonah Hill picked one up and was about to throw it in his mouth, but was pulled by Murphy next to him, "Wait, Jonah, are you going crazy here?" Drowning in a swimming pool? ”

"Uh......" Jonah Hill put the pill down again.

"You ......," Murphy pointed at them, "don't take drugs!" ”

Jonah Hill and Seth Rogan don't think so, and even James Franco doesn't care much.

Although several people are friends, no one will listen to this persuasion casually, here is Hollywood, alcohol and drugs. Where the quality is rampant.

Murphy persuaded him, and seeing that the three guys didn't listen at all, he didn't bother to say anything more, and out of sight, he stood up and announced, "The pie is over, you can go somewhere else. Medicine. ”

"Hey! You're too unrighteous, aren't you? Jonah Hill yelled in displeasure, "Just kick us out?" ”

Murphy stood up and walked towards the main building, leaving only one last word of advice, "Life is precious. Be cautious with medicines! ”

This is the end of the pie, and the three guys, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogan, and James Franco, leave the place together, and Murphy sends them out, and explains, "It doesn't matter if you don't listen to me, but you have to find a suitable place for taking drugs, and don't let me go to the police station tomorrow to pick up people." ”

"You're so long-winded!" The three men waved their hands and left.

Murphy shook his head, closed the door and prepared to go back to rest, he couldn't say anything about this kind of thing, the whole circle was like this, and ****** was just a relatively low-level drug popular in Hollywood.

This drug is mainly used for insomnia in clinical practice, and it can make people addicted after a long time, and it is banned in most countries and regions around the world.

Murphy himself doesn't touch these things, but after entering Hollywood for so long, it's not surprising that this kind of thing is not surprising, in fact, not only the stars in front of the scenes, but also many people behind the scenes are also using this drug, and a considerable number of people will also use it with alcohol, ****** can enhance the effect of alcohol, and has a delirious ability, as a substitute medicine to cause hallucinations.

Taking a small dose ****** make the user from a depressed state to an extremely nervous and excited state, and long-term use ****** will form dependence and cause toxicosis.

As soon as he got up the next day, Murphy didn't care about the head discomfort after getting drunk, he hung up the phone with the three guys first, and heard that they were all at James Franco's house now, so he was relieved, washed up briefly, went out for breakfast again, and drove to the Death Star Building in Century City according to the previous agreement.

"Hello, Director Stanton."

As soon as he walked out of the elevator room, he was greeted by an AA staff member, and when the other party saw him, he immediately stopped and greeted him warmly, Murphy nodded, passed by him, and walked to Bill Rossies's office at the end of the corridor.

In the middle, I met two unnamed agents, and they both greeted Murphy warmly, just like they did to their most important clients.

Murphy walked away, but the two agents lowered their voices.

"Bill, that guy really went far and had a client like Murphy Stanton."

"Don't you think Bill Rothes is average? He is where he is now because he is Murphy Stanton's agent! ”

"Yes, the first time you operate the company's packaging project, you can get a huge profit, I don't think Bill Rothes is doing well, but the film directed by Murphy Stanton is full of selling points! Even if you and I make "Planet of Terror", as long as the director is still Murphy Stanton, we can still make a profit......"

Murphy walked to Bill Rothes' suite office, and an assistant immediately opened the office door for him.

Bill Rothes, who was sitting behind his desk, stood up and walked over, "I thought you would come over later, just sit down." ”

He asked his assistant to make coffee, and sat with Murphy on two single sofas separated by coffee tables, "No carnival last night?" ”

Murphy rubbed his forehead, "It's over in less than one o'clock, I drink too much, and I don't feel comfortable getting up in the morning." ”

"I heard you got the best horror film," Bill Rothes said with a smile, "and the top of the company called me early this morning to find out what support you need later, just ask." ”

Although the North American box office of "Horror Planet" is far inferior to "Chainsaw", the revenue has also exceeded expectations, and it can be regarded as a box office success.

The female assistant came in with two cups of coffee, one each in front of Murphy and Bill Rothes, and withdrew.

"Well, it smells good." Murphy sniffed, "Very good." ”

"It was given by a friend in Jamaica." Bill Rothes said outside the office, "Nancy, get a pack of coffee for Murphy on the new arrival." ”

Just now he just said politely and casually, and Murphy didn't refuse, "Thank you." ”

The two then turned to the point, and Bill Rothes pointed to a box in the corner of the office and said, "This is a letter from a fan from the mailroom, and there are quite a few crazy admirers in it, do you want to see it?" ”

Murphy shook his head, "I don't have time, don't you have a department dedicated to this?" ”

Bill Rothes understood what Murphy meant, and said, "Then I'll just hand it over to Grace?" ”

"You guys deal with it," Murphy didn't care about this either, he was a director after all, not a star in front of the scenes, "It's better to pick some replies." ”

"I know how to do it." Bill Rothes nodded.

After saying these trivia, Murphy changed the subject, "How about the things I asked you to check some time ago?" How are copyrights distributed? ”

"The copyright of the comics is mainly in D's hands," Bill Rothes frowned, "If you want to impress D, as long as the bid is high enough, it's fine, but D originally had an agreement with the original author, and if you want to adapt the movie, you must get the consent of the original author!" ”

He sighed, "You know, that guy is tough. ”

"Leave it to me for now." Murphy thought for a moment, "You can help me find out where he will be in the near future, but if it doesn't work, I'll go to Manhattan to visit." (To be continued.) )
