Back in Los Angeles, Murphy first gave himself two days off, hid in the house in the Latin community, and made up for a period of sleep, probably because of the peculiar experience that left the sequelae of headaches, during this period of busyness, the number of headaches became more and more frequent, although it was not as sharp as the tearing pain when he first came to this world, but it could also affect his thinking and normal work.

After two days off and feeling physically and energetically rejuvenated, Murphy did not rush to start post-production, but contacted Bill Rothes, and the two sides talked a few times to sign a formal brokerage contract.

The benefits of having a professional broker from CAA far outweigh the disadvantages, and there is nothing to lose from someone like him who has no qualifications.

Unlike the cross-management of star actors or successful directors, the CAA does not invest much in a budding director like Murphy, as long as he signs a contract with the CAA, Bill Rothes will become his exclusive agent.

The signing was also simple, and after the intention was reached, Murphy brought his lawyer, Robert, to Century City, where Bill Rothes and a CAA business attorney were already waiting in a small conference room in the CAA-leased building.

The CAA signs a number of new people every year, many of whom can succeed in the position, but these people are not noticed until they succeed, and Murphy is no exception, and this kind of signing is more of a routine.

"You're welcome to CAA."

After signing the contract, Bill Rothes solemnly shook Murphy's hand, "Here, your future is limitless. ”

This is just a scene, CAA and people like him are only signing internship contracts similar to the kind of internship contracts signed by large companies and interns, very rudimentary brokerage contracts, and this kind of contract is also conducive to CAA to see that the signatories are worthless, so that they can give up at any time.

Correspondingly, the restrictions on the contracted customers in the contract are not particularly strict, and if the two parties do not want to cooperate, the liquidated damages are not much.

This kind of contract will only be used for newcomers like Murphy, and as long as they can make a name for themselves, the CAA will immediately issue a new contract.

Compared with these scenes, Murphy paid more attention to practical things, and when the two lawyers left, he said directly, "Bill, I need a post-production room, the equipment should be perfect, and the rent should be relatively cheap." ”

"No problem." Bill Rothes didn't shirk either, and said very simply, "You wait for my good news." ”

Originally, Murphy wanted to rent the post-production zuò room of Channel 6, but after contacting Kara Firth before, he gave up this plan, and the post-production studio of Channel 6 could only be rented in different time slots, which did not meet his needs at all.

This is Los Angeles, the center of the world film industry, and it is not difficult to lease a post-production room, but after preliminary preparation and shooting, the salary of the crew has just been settled, and the $300,000 in Murphy's hands is less than $50,000 left, and then there are expenses such as editors' salaries and soundtrack royalties, which can be used to pay very limited rent.

If you want to rent a fully equipped studio, you also want to rent it cheaply...... That's where it gets tough.

Without waiting for Murphy to leave, Bill Rothes took out his phone and made several calls in a row, showing the ability and connections of a professional entertainment agent, and after he put down his phone, he said with a smile, "In five days at most, I can find a suitable post-production room." ”

“ok！” Murphy is not stupid, and can tell that Bill Rothes is showing him strength, "I'm waiting for your good news." ”

He stood up to take his leave, and Bill Rothes added, "Wait. ”

Murphy looked at him and asked, "Anything else?" ”

"How long will it take for your film to finish?" Without waiting for Murphy to answer, Bill Rothes said, "If you can complete all the production before the New Year, I can help you get the chance to participate in the St. Denis Film Festival." ”

Hearing this, Murphy immediately became interested, the St. Denis Film Festival is a paradise for independent films, although the entry threshold is low, but if you want to enter the formal exhibition link, there are certain requirements.

According to his understanding, if you want to participate in the St. Denis Film Festival, instead of being screened on the roadside during the festival, you need to apply in advance, and the organizing committee will send you an invitation letter after the application, and you can only participate if you have received the invitation.

Of course, if it is an excellent film or filmmaker, the Sundance Film Festival producer will send an invitation directly.

Murphy admits that he is not up to the mark.

"I do my best." He left this sentence before leaving.

Just like shooting, he is also a newbie to post-production, and who knows what kind of problems he will encounter.

Leaving the conference room, Murphy turned into the elevator room, waited for a while, the elevator came down from above, thinking about some questions about the post-production zuò, and he entered the elevator without raising his head.

Walking into the elevator, Murphy immediately felt that something was wrong, feeling that there was something particularly tall on the left, almost completely covering himself, and quickly turned his head to look, a black man about six feet six inches was standing there like an iron tower, and he happened to turn his head to look over.

"It's you!" The tone of the black man is rather unkind.

"Hello," Murphy greeted calmly...... "Long time no see, Mr. Bryant." ”

The man on the left-hand side is none other than Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant.

Kobe Bryant didn't expect to come to CAA to run errands, but he would meet this shameless guy, and his fists immediately clenched subconsciously.

Murphy's body tensed, and he was ready to fight.

But Kobe Bryant was more sensible than he thought, snorted coldly twice, but didn't make a move.

There are indeed few reckless people who can become top superstars. Murphy looked up at his black face, and Kobe Bryant was staring at him condescendingly.

The elevator door opened with a clang, and Murphy got out of the elevator before Kobe Bryant did, probably during working hours, and there was no one in the elevator room on the first floor.

Kobe Bryant in the back also got out of the elevator, but Murphy turned around and took the initiative to stretch out a hand, "Officially, Mr. Bryant, I'm Murphy Stanton, a film director." ”

nbsbsbsbsbs？ Kobe Bryant didn't mean to shake hands with Ben, but his face was full of surprise, "Aren't you a paparazzi?" ”

Murphy shrugged, "I'm a director, and I'm in the same agency as you. ”

Without waiting for Kobe Bryant to react, Murphy took out a business card and stuffed it into his big hand, "If you are interested in acting in movies, you can call me." ”

With that, Murphy nodded to him and turned to walk out of the elevator.

Kobe Bryant in the back was a little stunned, first looked at Murphy's back, and then looked at the business card in his hand, this is definitely the most shameless and cheeky person he has ever met.

Throwing the business card in the trash, Kobe Bryant also left.

In less than five days, Bill Rothes secured a rental of Murphy's post-production room, which Murphy personally went to see, and the rental was located in Burbank, a small production company owned by Disney, and he spent another $30,000 to get the right to use it for the next two months.

It's not expensive, and Bill Rothes has played quite a part in it.

After the two parties signed a formal lease contract, Murphy and Griffiths and Paul Wilson, who was willing to act as an assistant, moved directly into the studio with a large amount of film.
