The next day, Gal Gadot did not go to the crew, but specially accompanied Murphy to the trial, not only Murphy, but Robert Downey Jr. also arrived. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Sitting in the auditorium, Murphy was disappointed at first, and then relieved when he heard the final verdict.
Gal Gadot, who was next to him, watched Rose being escorted away, and could guess that Murphy's mood must be complicated, so he reached out and grabbed his hand and shook it hard in comfort.
Robert on the other side patted Murphy's arm lightly and whispered, "We've done our best." ”
Murphy nodded slightly, of course knowing that the lawyer team had indeed tried their best, and with the evidence in the possession of the police and the prosecution, it could be said that it was not easy to obtain the current verdict for Rose.
It is impossible for Ross to be acquitted like Simpson, and Murphy has known this for a long time, so the best hope is that Ross will not be sentenced to death, after all, he is not only involved in drugs and arms, but also multiple murders.
In any case, this purpose was achieved, and Ross was sentenced to eighty years in prison.
He was born in the 70s of the last century, and under normal circumstances, 80 years in prison basically meant that Rose would spend the rest of his life in prison.
However, there is no clause in the sentence that does not allow commutation or parole, which also means that there is still room for operation in the future.
The first thing is to save Rose's life, and then we can talk about anything else.
At the end of the trial, Murphy and Gal Gadot joined Robert Downey Jr. and walked outside with the flow of people.
"I didn't expect to do so much," Robert Downey Jr. shook his head as he walked, "and that's the result." ”
Murphy patted him lightly on the shoulder, "It's already the best outcome." ”
Robert Downey Jr. knew that what Murphy said was the truth, and could only let out a long sigh.
Several people quickly walked to the exit of the courthouse, Gal Gadot glanced outside, vaguely saw a lot of reporters, and hurriedly waved to the back, she and the four bodyguards brought by Murphy, plus the recognition brought by Robert Downey Jr., a total of eight strong men surrounded the three of them in the middle.
As soon as Murphy stepped out of the door, countless reporters frantically rushed over like flies that smelled blood, and the flashing lights of the cameras were connected together, and the shutter sound was clearly audible.
"Director Stanton, it is said that you are involved in this case, is it true?"
Of course, media reporters will not let Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. go easily, and all kinds of questions are constantly thrown at them.
"Robert, did your drug use have anything to do with this drug cartel?"
"May I ask Murphy, did you start out as a director with money from this drug cartel?"
"It's said that you two are financially involved with them?"
"There's definite information that the FBI is investigating you, is that true?"
Eight big men cut off reporters, Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. had no interest in answering any questions, it was not appropriate to say anything at this time, their friendship with Rose had been hyped by the media as early as the investigation stage of the case, and the FBI had also done targeted investigations, but the two sides were friends, but they did not involve any financial or other transactions, and it was as clean as a blank sheet of paper.
Murphy and the three people, escorted by bodyguards, quickly squeezed to the front of the car, and after getting into the car, the reporter refused to disperse and continued to gather around the car to take pictures, and after nearly 20 minutes, the black seven-seater business car gradually drove away from the vicinity of the courthouse.
"How much did the lawyer cost?" Robert Downey Jr. asked suddenly.
Murphy waved his hand, "You don't care about that." ”
He knew that Robert Downey Jr. wanted to cover Ross's legal fees, which did cost a fortune, but for him, it was nothing at all.
Robert Downey Jr. still wanted to speak, but saw Murphy shake his head again and simply shut his mouth.
Gal Gadot, who was sitting in the front, glanced back at the two men, and in some ways, whether it was Murphy or Robert Downey Jr., such an act of exculpating Rose could easily attract criticism, but they simply didn't care.
"Hopefully this is the end of it." This is what Gal Gadot really thinks in his heart.
Although she knew that there was no conflict of interest between Murphy and Rose, and it was impossible to incur legal punishment, the more she participated, the more detrimental it would undoubtedly be to Murphy's reputation.
After all, he is a big director, not an ordinary rich man.
But Murphy didn't think so at all, and after putting down Robert Downey Jr., he dialed Robert, the lawyer.
"Now the verdict has been announced." Murphy's voice was a little low, "Robert, arrange for me to meet with Rose as soon as possible." ”
Gal Gadot opened his mouth and finally said nothing.
She didn't know how Robert on the other side answered, only to hear Murphy say again, "The sooner the better." ”
Murphy hung up the phone and took Gal Gadot's hand, "Don't worry, it's okay, I can still withstand this pressure of public opinion." ”
Has he received less criticism over the years? From homosexuality to drug trafficking to psychopathology, his public opinion is not much less than praise, but his psychological quality is good enough to be able to ignore these criticisms.
Even if the media and tabloids once again used his relationship with Ross to hype, Murphy didn't care, words were indeed terrifying, but they couldn't hurt him, and he always believed that actions were more powerful than words.
Therefore, Ross's case, from the beginning to the present, he did not say much, but he did not do less at all, if it was not for the huge amount of money to hire a whole super luxury team of lawyers, Ross would inevitably be sentenced to death.
It may not even wait for the trial, and a series of accidents will occur.
The country's judicial system is beautifully advertised, but in reality? All the crows in the world are generally black.
Perhaps it was the relationship between the experience in prison, and Murphy would most of the time start from the worst side when it comes to the country and society of America, and how he looks at humanity here.
This leads him to be too realistic and a little dark psychologically, but it is also good that he will not be confused by those unrealistic illusions.
Instead of returning to Beverly Hills, Murphy and Gal Gadot went to the set in Venice, where they met Filip Raschel, who had just been released by the police, and the director of photography was not in good spirits.
"It's okay." Murphy patted his arm lightly, "Without you, I don't even know how to make a movie." ”
Philip Raschel scratched the back of her head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Murphy. ”
Murphy shook his head, "It's okay. In this way, you will rest for two days first, and then report to the crew the day after tomorrow. ”
With Filip Raschel's current mental state, it is not suitable to start work immediately, it is better to let him rest for two days for a while, and when he recovers, he will come to the crew to be his director of photography.
"Hmm." Fili-Raschel nodded vigorously, "Then I'll go back first." ”
Murphy asked the crew's driver to send Philip Raschel back to avoid another accident, and for him, the director, Philip Raschel, the director of photography, is quite important.
It's no exaggeration to say that Philip Raschel is one of the most important people on Murphy's team.
If a photographer shoots a great actor with a mediocre approach, the result will be disappointing; If a photographer shoots an elaborate scene without creativity, the film investment will be wasted; If a photographer shoots a brilliant story with a traditional camera, it will definitely be boring.
A director who cares about his film should pay attention to every shot taken by the photographer.
Superb lens design can be said to be a gift from the photographer to the audience.
One of the great names of cinema is the ability to tell a heartstrings and memorable story, to create a world that is real, just like Murphy and Philip Raschel, in fact, many directors will have preferred cinematographers, such as the Coen brothers and Roger Deakins; Like Paul Thomas Anderson and Robert Eswaite to name a few.
As soon as the director and the cinematographer call, there will be a wonderful chemistry, and often the better the DP is in shape, the better the effect of the film lens.
However, cinematographers also have their own style, some of them show their own unique style in each of their films, and some photographers focus on the people before rendering the atmosphere.
Every photographer sees the world from a very different perspective, so Murphy doesn't change the DP easily, because after so many years of working together, Philip Raschel has worked well with him and is the most suitable photographer for him.
Frankly speaking, the photographer's fame is very limited, even the photographer who has won the Oscar for Best Cinematography is no exception, although the photographer has done a lot of work and participated in almost all aspects of the production process of the film, but generally speaking, after the film is released, the director will be praised or criticized by the audience, the producer can get profits, and the photographer has become an "unsung hero", often the audience will know who the director of a movie is, but will not know who the photographer is.
In Murphy's team, Philip Raschel is not only involved in the pre-production and on-set shooting, but also in the post-production of the film once the pre-production and on-set shooting are completed, although he is not directly involved in the narrative editing of the film, but the cinematographer usually works with colorists and editors to further fine-tune and refine the visual themes and background of the film.
For the next two days, Murphy continued to work as a director of photography, but the pace of filming continued to lag behind schedule, and it was not until Filly Raschel returned to the set that the pace of filming gradually returned to normal, and Murphy no longer had to juggle two important positions during filming, and was able to substitute for his own productivity.
After ten days, the shooting not only got on track, but also recovered the progress of the plan, and it was at this time that Murphy received a notice from Robert to come to the California State Penitentiary, which he was once familiar with, and met Rose, who had not been seen for a long time.
