In this circle, talent and genius are almost used up, no one will casually believe in the so-called genius, it is very simple to win the respect of people, and come up with a certain convincing result.

Bill Rothes left to find someone from New Line Pictures, and Murphy hooked up with Miton Johnson, and from the chat between the two, he could clearly feel that a so-called genius and a small director who could make a film company profitable had a completely different status in the eyes of Miton Johnson.

The former is worthless, but the latter allows him to spend some time chatting.

"You did a good job, although I haven't seen that movie, but you can get an income that is several times the cost, which is enough to explain a lot of problems." Standing under the palm tree, the words of Miton = Johnson can be described as old-fashioned, "Young man, work hard, it's not easy to direct a full-fledged feature film at your age." ”

Murphy's attitude was quite modest, "Thank you, your compliment is my honor." ”

Miton Johnson nodded slightly, this young man has made a good impression on him so far, humble and polite, there is no stupidity that some young directors think they are self-righteous when they make a movie, and there is no arrogance that some directors think that the whole world will revolve around him because they are full of talent......

Yes, they need great directors, but without the full support of the distribution company, the work of the best directors will not be able to reach the world.

Murphy has been observing Mitton Johnson without a trace, and chatting on this occasion requires skill, you can't just get to know each other and just say what you want to do, even if it's in more direct North America, it will undoubtedly reduce the success rate that is not very high.

Does he say I'm a genius, and if I make a film with a market value of maybe tens of millions, Miton Johnson will be impressed with him? I'm afraid I will only think that he is a madman and a delusional.

Therefore, he has been patiently talking to each other.

Seeing that the tone and attitude of the other party were getting better and better, Murphy felt that the time was almost up, and said, "It's not easy, if you want to succeed in Hollywood, you need not only hard work, but also the support of a big company like Lionsgate and experienced people like you." ”

In this world, everyone likes to listen to compliments, and Miton Johnson is no exception, and he already has a slight smile on his lips.

Murphy continued, "Someone as inexperienced as me is in great need of guidance from someone as experienced as you. ”

"I can't talk about pointing." Milton Johnson was clearly in a good mood and shook his hand to this side, "If there is something you don't understand, I can give you some advice and advice." ”

This is still the most sensible young man he has met this year.

"Thank you!" Murphy looked serious, "After making "Fruit Hard Candy", I filmed a small production zuò, I just finished editing a few days ago, and I always felt that there was something wrong, but I couldn't find it......"

The smile on Miton Johnson's face gradually retracted.

"What if...... I mean, if ......" Murphy could see the change in his face, but the other person didn't interrupt him or walked away, the previous words obviously played a role, "If you have time, can you go and watch this film and guide me on my shortcomings?" This has been very helpful for me......"

Hearing this, Miton Johnson glanced at Murphy, he was not stupid at all to be able to blend in with his current position, and naturally understood the meaning of these words.

In other words, when an unknown little director said these words, he would have directly refused a long time ago.

But the other party's previous impression was very good, the important thing is that "Hard Candy" allowed Miramax to get three times the cost, and this figure is bound to increase over time, and the million-dollar profit is not a small number even for Lionsgate.

Murphy looked at Miton Johnson sincerely, as in the past, everything he did was to serve his own purpose, he knew that his strategy might fail, and there was also a certain chance of success, after all, the results of "Hard Candy" were there.

He is not a director who talks nonsense, but he has a little qualifications, although these qualifications are very inconspicuous, but they can also play a role.

Without "Hard Fruit Candy" as a foundation, he would never have come over and find himself bored.

Miton Johnson thought about it for a moment, and finally asked, "What type of film?" ”

Choosing Lionsgate, Murphy certainly did it intentionally, "horror films." ”

"Oh?" Milton Johnson was a little more interested, "It's time to see when I do." ”

It's one thing to have a good impression of Murphy, it's another thing to have a good impression of business, and he won't make any promises lightly.

With such an ambiguous attitude, it is difficult to say whether he accepted the invitation or not, and Murphy also saw that few of these people who climbed to a higher position in Hollywood were stupid, they were basically mixed up guys, and they were even more cautious when it came to business interests.

He asked tentatively, "Can I know your contact information?" I ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Miton Johnson raised his hand to interrupt and waved his head to the assistant in the back, who immediately walked over and gave Murphy a business card.

With another polite word, Miton Johnson walked away, and Murphy glanced at the numbers on his business card, a smile on the corner of his mouth, he had achieved his goal.

Since he left his contact information, the other party is very likely to accept his invitation to watch the film.

In the following time, Murphy went around on the pie, and also wanted to meet a few well-known people and create a network, but he was unknown and had no introduction from the corresponding person, so it was impossible to break into a higher social circle.

Near nine o'clock, Bill Rothes found him, and the two left the Four Seasons Hotel no longer.

Walking out of the hotel, Bill Rothes immediately asked, "How's it going?" ”

Murphy nodded slightly, "Got his contact information, what about you?" ”

Bill Rothes didn't answer, just shook his head, obviously the situation on the New Line Pictures side was not ideal.

The two got into the car, and Bill Rothes was going to send Murphy back to Santa Monica first, and Murphy fastened his seatbelt and said, "It's good to be able to reach a family's intention." ”

"Publisher......" he sighed softly.

Bill Rothes started the car, turned onto the road, and saw that Murphy seemed to be in deep thought, reminding, "Don't forget to meet Jones Butler tomorrow, don't be late, that woman, like many black people, is a little sensitive in terms of self-esteem." ”

Murphy nodded.

He values and hopes more about working with Miramax, but as he did tonight, he won't hang himself from a tree in Miramax. (To be continued.) )
