Chapter 628: Temptation
Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!
The police's movements were very fast, and several people on the beach were all controlled, and the reporter with the DV camera saw the police pressing people into the police car, turned off the DV camera, and hurried towards his car. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everything that should have been shot has already been filmed, and the rest is not worth much.
Coming to a seven-seater business car, the door was pulled open from the inside, and the black man showed his head and beckoned, "Hurry up!" ”
The reporter with a DV camera hurriedly got into the car and sat next to the black man.
"Drive, back to the studio!"
The black man first gave a command to the driver, then took the DV camera, turned on the screen and watched, after the business car left the highway near the sea, he raised his head and said, "Good! Very good! The shot was great! ”
Several people in the car were in a good mood, and then they laughed.
"Let's go back and edit it first." The black man was confident," and I went to contact the CAA. ”
"Isn't it sold to TV stations or video sites?" The reporter who was holding the DV before asked puzzledly, "What are you doing with CAA?" ”
"Stupid!" The black man curled his finger and gave him a shudder, "CAA is Murphy Stanton's agency. ”
The other immediately understood, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "The boss wants to sell to Murphy Stanton and the media at the same time and make two bucks?" ”
The black man nodded and said to the man, "I'm contacting the CAA and talking to Murphy-Stanton; Later, you can contact the TV station that we are working with. ”
The man nodded, "Don't worry, boss, leave it to me, you can rest assured." ”
"And!" The black man finally admonished, "The two of us don't know each other, and the content sold to both sides is also filmed by different people." ”
"I understand!"
The men quickly arrived at their rented office and got busy.
Century City, a black Bentley rushed in front of the Death Star Building, the car just stopped, and before the doorman stepped forward, the rear door was pushed open from the inside, and Gal Gadot, who was wearing a dark women's suit, quickly got out of the car and quickly walked towards the main entrance of the Death Star Building.
With obvious anxiety on her face, she almost walked to the fastest step, and in just a few minutes, she took the elevator to the top floor of the Death Star Building, which belonged to the office of the CAA partners.
"Miss Gadot......"
An oncoming assistant greeted Gal Gadot politely, Gal Gadot nodded to him, didn't say anything, walked quickly to Bill Rothes's office door, raised his hand and knocked on the door twice, and then pushed the door directly and walked in.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Murphy sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and when she saw that Murphy was safe and sound, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense face looked much better.
When Murphy saw Gal Gadot hurrying over, he quickly stood up and pulled her to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and comforted, "Honey, I'm fine." ”
Gal Gadot took the teacup, took a sip, and looked at Murphy, "I regret it now!" ”
"Huh?" Murphy didn't understand what she meant.
"I regret that I didn't do my best to stop you from making that movie!" Gal Gadot wasn't joking at all, "I regret agreeing to you taking religion as part of your plan!" ”
Her face tensed again, "Murphy......"
"I'm sorry, dear." Murphy walked over, bent down and hugged her gently, saying, "I'm worried about you." ”
Gal Gadot shook her head, but she didn't know what to say, of course she knew very well what kind of person Murphy was, and she would definitely not change her plans because of this kind of thing.
"You have to be safe in the future." Gal Gadot could only say with a little helplessness, "Don't worry me like you do today, okay?" ”
Murphy nodded solemnly, "I promise." ”
He still cherishes his little life very much.
However, this kind of thing does not scare him, many directors in Hollywood have faced turmoil, but few will back down.
Besides, if the media reporter publicizes it, in fact, the benefits of his plan far outweigh the disadvantages.
"Where's Bill?"
Gal Gadot was all focused on Murphy just now, only to realize that the owner of the office was not there, "Why didn't you see him?" ”
Murphy smiled and said, "I'll ask him to discuss with Grace how to make the most of this incident." ”
"You're ......," Gal Gadot rolled his eyes, "it's typical of your style of doing things." ”
"Isn't that bad?" Murphy spread his hands innocently, "The bodyguard can't let rotten eggs smash in vain, right?" ”
Although it was not a real rotten egg that was smashed at that time, the egg used to smash people was, in his understanding, a veritable rotten egg.
After saying this, Gal Gadot remembered that there was still something to do and changed the subject, "By the way, I met Catherine Kennedy this morning. ”
"What is she looking for you for?" Murphy didn't have a deep friendship with the gang that represented the Jewish forces in Hollywood.
He looked at Gal Gadot, whose girlfriend was an authentic Jew.
"Temptation!" Gal Gadot said seriously, "Test your attitude through me. ”
Murphy frowned slightly, "Could it be that Catherine Kennedy has a project in her hands that suits me?" ”
Katherine Kennedy is best known as a producer, and is one of Hollywood's very few female gold producers.
"Walt Disney basically negotiated the acquisition of Lucasfilm with George Lucas, and the rest is all about the details."
George Lucas is going to sell Lucasfilm to Disney has long been a well-known news in the circle, and Gal Gadot did not explain much, and said, "Katherine Kennedy is the new chief executive officer that George Lucas and Disney are interested in at the same time, and she told me that Disney is preparing to reboot the Star Wars franchise, and Disney's top management is interested in inviting you to be the director." ”
Walt Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm was for ILM and Star Wars, and everyone knew that the series would inevitably be pushed into theaters by Disney again.
"Me?" Murphy shook his head directly, "The next time you meet Catherine Kennedy, just tell her I'm not interested." ”
Even if he was going to make a sequel movie, he would do a sequel to his own films, not take over the "Star Wars" series.
Frankly speaking, there are too many sequel movies in Hollywood, and he hasn't finished filming his own, so of course he won't go to other companies to mix.
However, he is also well aware that the "Star Wars" series is indeed easy for a director to succeed.
"Star Wars 7 ......" Gal Gadot shook his head and glanced at Murphy again, "it's all sequel movies." ”
Murphy shrugged, "It's normal. ”
In the market research department of CAA, he saw such a set of data showing that the sequel model is very popular in Hollywood: in 2011, except for his "City of Chaos", only "Bridesmaids" among the top ten movies at the North American box office is considered original, and it only ranked tenth, and the other "Harry Potter" and "Transformers" are basically sequels, even if they are not sequels, they come from adaptations; Judging from the top 50 box office in North America, the proportion of sequel films and adapted films has soared from less than 10% in 1998 to more than 70% today.
Even Murphy has to admit that Hollywood, which once represented the highest level of cinema, is now on the road of relying on sequel blockbusters.
Hollywood has always been a business circle, and in the current situation, it is not so much that major companies rely on sequel development, but that they are always led by the market by the nose.
In order to reduce business risks, when choosing the protagonist, they will inevitably give priority to characters such as "Captain America" and "Wolverine", which have already been recognized by the market.
After the original golden age, the real value of the film industry today is not how much box office the film itself brings, but whether it can provide more opportunities for other fields.
Murphy is aware of this, and computer games, theme parks, and interactive entertainment all fall into this category.
For example, once upon a time, Walt Disney spent a lot of money to build a Star Wars theme park near Disneyland in California, and in order to maintain the park's popularity, it also needed an uninterrupted supply of "Star Wars" series movies.
In fact, as a representative of fan culture, the "Star Wars" series has always been known for its loyal fans and derivative consumption of comics, texts, and merchandise, and since the first film in the series was launched in 1977, the consumption of peripheral products has approached $30 billion, far exceeding the box office revenue of the series.
Aside from the box office, Hollywood's greater revenue comes from peripheral derivatives.
The office door was pushed open from the outside, and Bill Rothes hurried in, and Murphy glanced at him, and before he could ask how the discussion was going, Bill Rothes said, "There's another accident on Santa Monica's side." ”
Murphy and Gal Gadot stared at him at the same time.
Bill Rosis said as succinctly as possible, "The Catholic believer who attacked you, after leaving the Santa Monica Mall, I don't know what happened, was stopped by Daisy from the IMDB discussion group and a few fans, and then was violently beaten! ”
"Well played!" Gal Gadot blurted out, and after saying that, she shrugged, "That's what I thought. ”
"Someone called the police." Bill Rothes continued, "Daisy was arrested by the police, and Robert's friend at the police station called me. ”
Murphy stood up, frowned, took a few steps, and said, "So, Bill, you get to know the situation as soon as possible." ”
Fan matters, especially Daisy's kind, can be easily contacted, and Murphy is well aware of this, and says, "You call Robert again and ask him to bail Daisy out as much as possible." ”
"Hmm." Bill Rothes immediately thought of another layer, "Once such news spreads, fans will recognize you even more." ”
As soon as he said this, Bill Rosies's phone rang, and he picked it up and said a few words, his face suddenly gloomy.
"Daisy's beating was filmed." He hung up and said to Murphy, "The other party wants to talk to us." ”
