I'm going to practice driving these days, the third exam of the sixteenth subject, two to three shifts for the time being, and three shifts today! Also, ask for a subscription! Ask for a commuter pass! Ask for a referral ticket! The book has just been put on the shelves, and everyone's support will be the biggest motivation for our efforts!

At Fox Searchlight, Tony Guzmán was seen sending Murphy and Bill Rothes out of the meeting room, and Godin Clyde asked Riley Fields next to him, "What do you think?" ”

Riley Fields was quite cautious, "Although I can't find the real price code offered by several other companies, as far as I know, their internal auditions will have extremely high ratings for Chainsaw. ”

The company's performance is not good, and he, the head of the market research department, is also under tremendous pressure, "I think this film has a clear target audience, accurate market positioning, at least a very smart work, and has operational value." ”

Godin Clyde stood up and walked around, "The marketing department makes an estimate. ”

"I'll do my best." Riley Fields also stood up.

It was sunny outside, looking at the golden light reflected off the glass of the Fox Tower diagonally opposite, and Murphy reached out to cover his eyes, followed Bill Rothes, and walked in front of the Ford sedan.

As soon as he got in the car, Bill Rothes answered the phone, hung up after a few words, and then turned to Murphy and said, "There is information from the company's channels, Fox Searchlight's first quarter performance was very poor, and Twentieth Century Fox was quite dissatisfied and put pressure on them two weeks ago. ”

After learning about the relevant information, Murphy Guò Kara Firth also informed Bill Rosis, although he is an ordinary agent of the CAA, he can also make appropriate use of the company's resources and channels, and now it is confirmed that Fox Searchlight does face some favorable situations for them.

"Continue to maintain contact with the Fox searchlight." Murphy started the car, and the current situation not only requires him to fight hard, but also the right opportunity, "In addition to Lionsgate, the connection with other companies should not be broken." ”

Even in the face of Harvey Weinstein, he still has a little room for bargaining, and Milton Johnson's tough style is also beyond his expectations, and the Lionsgate executive, who originally had a good attitude when he was in a relationship, really doesn't talk about business at all.

Whether it is the sincerity of the negotiations or the price offered, Lionsgate can only be the last choice.

Dropping Bill Rothes off near CAA's office building, Murphy looked at the time, sent a text message, and drove to the valley area of Santa Monica, stopped in front of a tree-fringed three-story building, lowered the window and looked at the open iron door, where people were already walking out.

It's a very common acting school in the Los Angeles area, but the one that Bill Rothes contacted has a very good reputation, and of course it's not cheap, with less than five months of classes almost costing Carey Mulligan for two films.

"Aren't you together, Kerry?"

Two girls came out of a house, the one with long blond hair, and asked Kerry Mulligan, who had his short hair, as he walked, "Everyone is here tonight, and you are missing, do you want to release our pigeons?" ”

"I told you I don't have time." Kerry Mulligan's eyes frequently looked at the iron door in front of him, and his feet unconsciously increased the frequency, "My boyfriend is coming to pick me up." ”

"Could it be your director's boyfriend?" There were a few girls behind who were faster, and as they passed by, they heard Carey Mulligan's words, much like a brown-haired girl at the center point, who turned her head to look at her, "The one you blew into the sky?" ”

There was a palpable sarcasm in her words.

Kerry Mulligan turned his head, his gaze instantly sharpened, if it was a knife, there must have been a few more transparent holes in that girl's body.

"What do you mean?" Her tone was rather unkind.

Soon after coming to the acting class, the two had a conflict, they were of the same age, and no one knew why they didn't like each other.

As soon as Kerry Mulig's words came out, the atmosphere on both sides changed instantly, except for the brown-haired girl who spoke first, several other people also looked at this side with fierce eyes.

The brown-haired girl lifted a strand of curly hair that fell down, and the mockery on her hard-lined face became stronger, "What a big director, the production cost of the film directed by him is as high as ......"

Her voice was high and high, as if she was afraid that others would not hear, "Three hundred thousand dollars!" ”

The other girls covered their mouths and laughed, as if it were a shame.

Although she is also from the UK, the other party doesn't like her, and Kerry Mulligan doesn't like each other, and the two haven't been-for-tat for a day.

Otherwise, the other party will not hear it and make a mockery.

Carey Mulligan didn't stop, turned his head and said, "$300,000 is not much, but in exchange for $1.48 million at the North American box office, the return on investment ratio is as high as five to one." ”

A group of people walked out of the gate at this time, and Murphy, who was waiting in the car, immediately saw them and got out of the car to meet them.

"A film that doesn't have more than 200 theaters," the girl still said, "is it embarrassing to say it's a formal feature film?" ”

Carey Mulligan wanted to say something again, and the blonde woman came out to play the round, "Kayla, don't say a few words, don't always target Kerry." ”

She turned to look at Carey Mulligan again, "Kayla is the kind of character who says something, don't worry too much about it." ”

"Liz," Carey Mulligan seemed to have a good relationship with her, "don't you think she's excessive?" ”

Murphy happened to be walking with them at the gate, and when he heard Carey Mulligan's words, he took two steps to her, looked at the obviously angry face with concern, and asked, "What's wrong, dear?" ”

Carey Mulligan glared at that Kayla viciously, obviously unhappy, but he knew that Murphy had been very busy lately, and he didn't want this kind of trivial matter to disturb him, so he squeezed out a smile, "It's okay, it's all good." ”

Following Carey Mulligan's gaze, the four girls stood together a few feet away, as if muttering, and the one standing in the center had a rather familiar facial contour.

"Hello." The blonde woman looked at Murphy with interest, "You're Carrey's boyfriend?" ”

Carey Mulligan grabbed Murphy's arm and preemptively replied, "Liz, he's Murphy." ”

"Hello." Murphy looked at her, smiled politely, and introduced himself, "I'm Murphy Stanton." ”

The blonde woman nodded, "Elizabeth Banks, Carrey's classmate in the acting class, call me Liz." ”

Carey Mulligan shook Murphy's arm, "Liz takes good care of me. ”

"It's nothing...... Elizabeth Banks didn't finish her words when she was interrupted by the voice of the girl on the other side, "Carrey, is this your boyfriend?" ”

She walked over to Elizabeth Banks, constantly looking at Murphy, her narrowed eyes and the hint of sarcasm that ran into them made her feel quite uncomfortable.

Murphy tilted his head to look at this familiar face, confirming that he did not recognize the wrong person, although it was only the first time they met, and he didn't say anything, but he could also see that this person's personality was really not good.

The other party's mouth pouted quickly, "Except for the high point and the strong point, there is nothing special." ”

Carey Mulligan was like a cat with its tail stepped on, almost jumping up and trying to say something, but glanced at Murphy and swallowed those nasty words again.

This girl named Kayla didn't mean to give up, this is not the first time the two have faced each other, "Little actor and little director, you are a good match." ”

"You ......" Carey Mulligan's cheeks were already bulging.

Kayla ......

Elizabeth Banks wanted to play the round, but Kayla's words were quick and fast, "I haughtily think I'm a princess, but I'm actually just a sparrow." ”

She is the same age as Carey Mulligan, and it is also the stage of grandeur, Carey Mulligan has stolen a lot of the limelight that originally belonged to her, and these must be recovered, "Put away your poor little wings, and show off less here in the future." ”

This was not the end of it, she raised her head and raised her pointed chin, "What are you comparing to me?" I've starred in $900 million films, what about you? ”

Murphy turned his head to look at Carey Mulligan and asked what the two had compared, and Kerry Mulligan scratched his blonde hair and shook his head slightly, his eyes full of doubt.

What's going on with this girl? Murphy was already frowning, even if Kerry had a conflict with her, there was no need to be so unrelenting, right?

He knows that many conflicts between women often make no sense, but this is indeed too much for Kerry.

There were a lot of people watching the excitement around, except for the original girls, someone came over, and vaguely Murphy could hear "Carey and Kayla again", and probably understood that this Kayla against Carey didn't start now.

Elizabeth Banks pulled Kayla's arm and was about to say a few round-up words when she suddenly saw Murphy muttering something in Carey Mulligan's ear, and Carey's eyebrows curled.

"What's wrong with me being a little actor?" Carey Mulligan held Murphy's arm tightly with one hand, "I'm playing my own role, unlike some people who use as a stand-in for people in the $900 million blockbuster zuò at the box office, you don't really think of yourself as Queen Amidala, right?" You're just a stand-in for Natalie Portman, we ......"

She pointed her other hand at the people around her, "Everyone will remember, you ......"

The voice slowly raised, "You're just a stand-in for Natalie Portman!" In another twenty years, that won't change! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Murphy pulled Carey Mulligan and said, "Let's go." ”

It's okay for Kerry Mulligan to vent his anger at this kind of thing, and there's no need for others to continue watching the fun.

Neither of them looked at the girl named Kayla and walked straight to the Ford sedan.

Kayla in the back had a white face, her teeth clenched together, but she couldn't say anything, as if she was directly poked at the point by Carey Mulligan's words.

She took two big breaths and looked viciously at the backs of Murphy and Carey Mulligan.

It wasn't until the Ford started to leave that she spit out the breath that was held in her mouth, "Damn little director!" ”

Obviously, Carey Mulligan, who is always-for-tat with her, can't think of such a thing, otherwise the first conflict would have been said, and it wouldn't have waited until today, which is clearly the result of the little director muttering in Carey Mulligan's ear.

In the moving car, Kerry Mulligan leaned over and kissed Murphy fiercely, "This is a reward!" ”

Murphy smiled, and just wanted to say something, the mobile phone rang, picked up and listened to a sentence, and his face changed instantly, "What?" Bill, is this true? (To be continued.) )
