Chapter 640: Anything is Possible

The iron door outside slammed shut, and the quiet of this independent visitation room was restored, Murphy took out a box of cigarettes, took one from it, and Rose still had shackles in his hand, he simply stuffed it directly into Rose's mouth, and took out a lighter from his pocket, and helped Rose light the cigarette, and a wisp of smoke immediately rose to it along Rose's face.

Rose took a deep breath, exhaled a mouth full of smoke, looked at the cigarette and lighter on the table in front of him, and said, "Learn to smoke?" I remember you never smoked. ”

"Nope." Murphy shook his head, "This is the top-of-the-line cigarette collection that Donnie asked me to bring you specifically." ”

"Not bad." Rose wrinkled his nose, "It's just that the taste is a little lighter." ”

Murphy stood up and went over to stuff the cigarette into Rose's clothes, "I've got people to get through the relationship, and I'll send you a batch in a while." ”

Rose shook his head, "Forget it, you can't get it to me." ”

Murphy thought for a moment, knowing that this was likely to happen, so he didn't insist, and asked, "How's it going?" ”

"It's very comfortable." Rose stretched and looked very comfortable, "You and Donnie have transferred those boys here, I'm NO.1 here, and no one dares to provoke me." ”

Prison gangs are rampant in the United States, and Murphy has a first-hand experience of this, so he spent a lot of effort to get all of Rose's subordinates scattered in other prisons to the state prison, to ensure that Rose will not have a hard time in it, at least, although Rose used to be a tyrant here, but the age is a little far away after all.

"You can stay in peace for now." Murphy lowered his voice slightly, "I'm having people run to reduce your sentence as much as possible. ”

Rose shook his head again, "Don't do this, a felony like me, even if his sentence is commuted, he will be after the age of seventy, and he can't keep up with the times, what are you going to do?" ”

"Remember what you said the last time we were in prison together here?" Murphy reminded, "You said you were going to be godfathers to my children. ”

"The question is do you have faith?" Ross said deliberately.

Murphy spread his hands helplessly, "I'm a believer in Satan just like you. ”

"Okay, stop laughing." Rose asked solemnly, "Even if I want to be the godfather of your child, you have to get married first, will you get married?" ”

Although he knew that Murphy had a fixed girlfriend by his side, he still clearly remembered that Murphy had shouted that he would sleep with all the beautiful female stars in Hollywood, and now he has such capital.

"I'm engaged." Murphy said lightly.

Rose asked curiously, "With Gal Gadot?" ”

"Hmm." Murphy nodded, "I haven't had time to tell you about last month. ”

"Congratulations." Rose touched his hands back and forth on his body a few times, and said embarrassedly, "I don't have anything, so I won't give you a gift." ”

Murphy sat back in his chair, clasped his hands on his chest, and said, "It's okay if you don't send it, I'm waiting for you to send it to my house in person in the future to make up for it!" ”

"You......" Rose shook his head slightly, "Murphy, there are some things, let's let it be." ”

Murphy shook his head, "If things had gone their way, I would have died in this prison more than ten years ago." ”

At that time, he was not as strong as he is now, and it was this year's training that made his character tenacious.

There are some things that Ross can go with the flow, but Murphy cannot, no matter what Ross says, he will still do what he should do, and he simply changes the subject.

"Did you get the MP4 you sent in?" He asked.

Before Christmas, he asked Robert to send in a digital copy of "Diego Rose" through a relationship.

"Well, I watched the movie, and the copy was deleted after watching it." Ross gave Murphy a thumbs up, "It's a very good shot, it's more than 80 percent realistic!" ”

Murphy smiled and said, "It's good if you can approve of it." ”

A film like this, based on real people, will inevitably undergo a certain amount of artistic processing for the sake of dramatic tension, even if his narrative in "Diego Rose" is relatively flat, without the fierce twists of traditional Hollywood films, but there are also some places where it is appropriately exaggerated.

However, as Ross said, the whole film is entirely based on Ross's real experience.

"The day before yesterday, the new Academy Awards announced the list of nominees."

Murphy, of course, told Ross, "We got ten Oscar nominations for this biopic, including Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture. ”

Hearing this, Rose immediately became interested, "Ten nominations?" ”

Even if he doesn't know much about Hollywood, as a native of Los Angeles, he still knows that ten Oscar nominations are a great thing.

Rose thought for a moment and asked, "What are the chances of winning?" ”

"It's not too difficult to win a technical award." Murphy said honestly, "No one can guarantee that the three important awards I just talked about will be won. ”

"Hmm." Rose nodded, "Your film is my last wish." ”

As he first told Murphy, he didn't want to die in prison in obscurity, even if he was notorious, he wanted the world to know that there was a man named Diego Rose who walked through this world.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, followed by a reminder from the guards, "It's time!" ”

Murphy glanced at his watch, stood up and said, "Downey and I are working on this film to make it to the Oscars, you can wait for our good news." ”

With that, he turned around and walked outside, and after leaving the heavily guarded reception area, he joined his bodyguards and left the state prison.

In the next few days, Stanton Studio and Twentieth Century Fox frequently made articles in the media, and all kinds of reports boasting about the film "Diego Rose" emerged one after another, probably because they really liked this slow-paced, very artistic film with long shots, and Roger Albert, who was far away in Chicago, published an article through his column in the "Chicago Tribune" - if the Oscars still ignore Murphy Stanton and his film this time, it will definitely be a big scandal!

The media opinion and the situation created by the use of Catholicism are very favorable to Diego Rose.

So, on the weekend of the Oscar nominations announced, Twentieth Century Fox once again expanded its screening scale, and the North American theater chain of "Diego Rose" more than tripled to nearly 1,600.

With the addition of the Oscar-nominated halo, the film also performed better than the previous screenings and small-scale screenings, collecting more than $19 million from the North American market in three days that weekend, plus the previous box office of more than $20 million, the film's North American box office successfully exceeded the production cost line of $35 million, reaching $41.56 million!

The market effect of Oscar and the previous series of publicity plans is quite obvious.

Even, Twentieth Century Fox believes that if the film can win two of the Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture awards, the North American box office can hit the $100 million mark.

Although "The Artist" is more in line with the tastes of the old men of the academy, there are still nearly twenty days before the final voting deadline for the Oscars, and everything is possible.

Even though the situation is favorable for "Diego Rose", Murphy has not relaxed at all, although the academy has stipulated that no more public relations of the judges can be conducted at this time in time, but there is no requirement for the director or the film to promote themselves.

In addition to Twentieth Century Fox, CAA and Bill Rothes also developed a series of self-promotion plans for Murphy to win the favor and support of the academy judges, including speaking at the North American Film Institute and donating to the Academy of Film Studies, an institution affiliated with the American Film Institute, which has produced many famous film practitioners and members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, such as David Lynch, Darren Aronofsky, Edward Zwick, Janus Kaminsky, and Carl Franklin, to name a few.

In terms of the number of well-known filmmakers alone, this school even surpasses the USC Film School.

The so-called public relations is not only about lobbying the judges and promoting it in the media, but also in a variety of ways.

Murphy was stuck in a very busy phase, catching up on different announcements every day, maybe attending a show in Los Angeles in the morning, appearing at a promotional event in New York in the afternoon, and almost completely becoming a trapeze.

He knows very well that hard work may not guarantee that the film "Diego Rose" will win a heavyweight award, and the possibility of winning a prize without hard work is undoubtedly very low.

At the same time, the media on the Internet and under the twentieth century Fox are still clinging to Catholicism, especially the Catholic believer who once attacked Murphy in the Santa Monica Commercial Plaza, and from time to time he will jump out and stand on the Catholic standpoint and make nonsense, and it is difficult for Hollywood people to ignore Catholicism.

In this case, when many people in the circle mention "Diego Rose", they can't help but think of the aggressiveness of Catholicism towards Hollywood......

Catholicism is offensive, and by the way, it will have a more or less favorable opinion of "Diego Rose", and no one can be underestimated that this may not be a small favorite, and it can often directly determine the voting choice of a member of the Academy.

In less than a week after the 84th Oscars announced the list of nominees, "Diego Rose" has been in the limelight, with the momentum of films that have swept many heavyweight awards at the Oscars, and it has also attracted many people's attention.

Murphy plans to keep the heat of public opinion on "Diego Rose" until the final voting date.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as "Diego Rose" became popular, a pair of strange sisters and brothers jumped out and stole a lot of limelight.
