The office fell silent, and Dave Scola walked back and forth, his brow furrowed all the time, clearly considering Kara Firth's words, which of the two projects was more important? One is a super-epic masterpiece with his countless hopes, and the other is just a second-tier superhero......
He is full of confidence in his project and firmly believes that as long as the project is filmed, it will inevitably become a blockbuster film that surpasses "Gladiator".
On the other hand, the script and plan submitted by Carla Firth are just a small project, and superhero movies do not have enough investment, so it is best not to even touch them, not to mention that the scale is so large, it is very likely to be R-rated after the film is completed, which will inevitably lose the largest audience of this type of film, young people.
Also, Morphie Stanton's kind of person is good for making superhero movies? No kidding, a director with such a cult style is an absolute disaster for superhero films.
In this way, the project "Deadpool" may not be successful, and even has a very high chance of failure, Carla Firth is a newcomer to this industry after all, and the help is still a niche film director like Murphy Stanton, and these two people want to grab his position when they join forces? It's just a joke.
Twentieth Century Fox, one of the six major Hollywood companies, is not a small company like Fox Searchlight and Miramax, and if you want to gain a foothold in this kind of company, you need to have super big productions!
In just a few minutes, Dave Scola made his decision.
"For the sake of the company's development, we don't need to fight-for-tat!" Compared to Carla Firth, Dave Scola can be described as righteous and awe-inspiring, "I will give the "Deadpool" project a release. ”
Kara Firth smiled at him, "I won't interfere with your Heavenly Dynasty project anymore. ”
With that said, there was no longer any need for this negotiation to continue, and Dave Scola nodded to Carla Firth and turned and walked out of her office.
When the office door closed, Carla Fez, who was sitting on the boss's chair, breathed a sigh of relief, she could do it like this, she also tried her best and used enough means, otherwise how could the deputy of a department force the main position to be like this?
Either way, she achieved what she wanted, both getting a pass to "Deadpool" and possibly pushing Dave Scola into "Kingdom of Heaven" completely.
What will the future of "Heavenly Dynasty" look like? She believes in Murphy's analysis, and she believes in the judgment she draws from a pile of data after the investigation.
It is not easy for a woman to sit firmly in the position of a senior executive of the six major Hollywood companies, and it is even more difficult to go further.
Pressing the intercom on the desk, Carla Firth told the secretary not to let anyone come and disturb him for the time being, then picked up the phone and dialed Murphy's number, and the bell rang for a long time before someone could connect.
"It's me, Kara." She grumbled into the microphone, "What are you doing?" So long to answer the phone? ”
"I'm driving, just at the intersection." Murphy's voice rang out from the earpiece, "I'm on my way to the international airport." ”
"Airport?" Carla Firth immediately remembered, "Is Gale back?" ”
"Well, the plane will arrive in an hour."
Hearing this, Carla Firth decided to make a long story short, "Good news for you, Dave Scola is pretty much got it done by me." ”
As the road to the airport grew, there were more and more cars, and Murphy said, "Wait a minute. ”
He found a suitable place to park on the side of the road, and after parking the car, he said into his phone, "This is the second best news I've heard in recent days." ”
"What's the first good news?" Carla Fez's question came from the phone.
Murphy shrugged and said, "Of course Gail is back." ”
Although he had to talk on the phone at least three times a day, he was not without worry, and when Gal Gadot returned, he changed his mind and continued to stay in Israel.
And it can be heard from the phone that Gal Gadot's mother doesn't want her to come to Los Angeles to study too much, and Murphy is also worried that the family's resistance will also change Gal Gadot's decision.
On a couple of phone calls, Gal Gadot was visibly hesitant, and Murphy even hung up a satellite phone with video for her, but she eventually returned.
"Okay, I won't bother you." Carla Firth's voice rang on the phone again, "Getting Dave Scola is just the first step, I still have to convince the company's top management that there is still a lot of work to be done." ”
"Kara," Murphy reminded her, "don't forget to inform Bill and CAA." ”
He knew very well that getting Dave Scola was only removing the biggest obstacle to the project, and even with the promotion of Carla Firth and CAA, it would take time for the project to really get a pass for Twentieth Century Fox.
Like Sin City, the copyright for this project is firmly in the hands of Twentieth Century Fox, and without the nod of Twentieth Century Fox, the project would not have been possible.
Putting his phone away, Murphy started the car and continued towards Los Angeles International Airport.
After arriving at the airport, he buckled the baseball cap on the co-pilot on his head, he looked at the time, came to the exit position, and no one noticed him, since the end of the North American promotion of "Sin City", Murphy's surroundings have gradually returned to quiet, and the gossip news of those stars is much more valuable than his.
After waiting for a long time, the phone rang, and Murphy took it out and took a look, it was a text message from Gal Gadot.
"I'm off the plane, I'll be out right away."
The airport is very big, it takes time to come, and after another ten minutes, people came out one after another, Murphy stood at the front of a bunch of pick-up crowds, frequently looked into the exit, and when the number of people who came out gradually decreased, he finally saw the familiar figure.
Gal Gadot, dressed in a light-colored casual suit with her hair neatly combed back behind her head, walked over with two huge suitcases, and when Murphy saw her, she saw Murphy too, raised a slender arm, and waved his hand to this side.
She is tall and long-legged, which attracts the attention of many people around her, but Gal Gadot only has Murphy in her eyes, and the moment she walks out of the plane, she throws away the luggage cart and almost pounces on Murphy who is waiting here.
Murphy hugged Gal Gadot tightly and kissed her on the cheek again.
"I think about you every day." Gal Gadot buried his whole face in his chest, "I can't wait to fly over." ”
"Me too." Murphy kissed her white ear again.
Although the flow of people at the exit has decreased, it is not the place to speak, Murphy patted her on the back, "Let's talk about it in another place." ”
"Hmm." Gal Gadot nodded slightly.
Walking to the railing of the exit, Murphy took two suitcases from the cart and dragged them towards the parking lot, Gal Gadot picked up the rest of the backpack and followed him, a pair of bright eyes, never leaving Murphy's body, as if he wanted to make up for all the regrets of not seeing him these days.
"You know what? My dear," Murphy said as he walked, "and I was almost frightened when you called and said that your mother didn't approve of you coming to Los Angeles to study, and I wanted to rush over and get you back from Israel." ”
"Why didn't I see that you were in a hurry during the video call?" Gal Gadot said deliberately.
That being said, but thinking of Murphy's anxious look at the time, she still feels very sweet, he does care very, very much about himself.
Murphy pointed to his face, "It's not that you don't know, even if I'm in a hurry, I won't show it." ”
Gal Gadot is well aware of this, Murphy is not the kind of person who is emotionally exposed.
"You have a heart." Gal Gadot deliberately put on a face, "It's not in vain that I came to Los Angeles from Israel." ”
At this time, when he came to the side of the car, Murphy pressed the remote control, opened the trunk of the Cadillac, put the two suitcases in, closed it and took Gal Gadot's backpack, put it in the rear seat, the two got into the car separately, Murphy closed the door and raised the window glass with a special film.
Then, he turned his head to look at Gal Gadot, and before he could say anything, Gal Gadot couldn't wait to pounce, as if he had been enduring it for a long time.
Murphy felt a pair of slender arms hanging from his neck like iron hoops, stretched out his hands to hold the delicate face with clear lines, looked deeply into her eyes, lowered his head and imprinted on the pair of soft red lips, and then felt Gal Gadot's fierce response.
Like all couples who reunite after a long separation, in addition to words and spirits, the two also need other ways to express and vent the feelings of longing that have been suppressed during this time.
Murphy's hand landed on Gal Gadot's waist and touched the metallic belt buckle, and one of Gal Gadot's hands had already reached through the hem of his T-shirt......
Feeling Murphy unbuckle the buckle around his waist, Gal Gadot suddenly woke up, this is a parking lot!
She leaned on Murphy's shoulder and bit viciously, "Don't be here, hurry home!" ”
This and the pain in his shoulder also reminded Murphy, and he withdrew his hand and stamped it firmly on Gal Gadot's forehead, "Yes." ”
Simply packing up Gal Gadot's messed up clothes, Murphy started the car, left the parking lot and drove onto the main road, rushing to Santa Monica's home at a much faster speed than when he came.
After this black Cadillac was bought by Murphy, it was definitely the first time that it ran so fast, and the two people in the car did not speak, but frequently made eye contact, and it seemed that each other could see the raging flames burning in it.
The car finally arrived in the Santa Monica Valley area, went directly into the garage connected to the house, and while parking the car, Murphy picked up a remote control and pressed it on the back, the garage door slowly landed, he no longer had any scruples, unbuckled his seat belt, got up and threw Gal Gadot on top of the co-pilot.
As if having waited too long, Gal Gadot reached down and lowered the back of his mount and began to respond enthusiastically.
The garage turned into a battlefield. (To be continued.) )
