As soon as he drove out of the estate, Murphy received a call from James Franco, who parked his car on the side of the road and picked up the phone, with James Franco's urging voice ringing in the receiver. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Murphy, where have you been?" His voice was loud, "Why haven't you come yet, do you want to release my pigeons?" ”

"I'm out of the house." Murphy said calmly, "Don't forget, I attended the nominee's luncheon at noon. ”

James Franco over there asked, "How many nominations?" ”

"Nine." Murphy quickened his voice slightly, "Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director and Best Picture nominations. ”

"Congratulations." James Franco urged again, "Come here, I'll wait for you." ”

"Hmm."

Murphy answered, hung up, and drove the car toward the Santa Monica Beach pier.

He knew that James Franco had been secretly planning for today's proposal for a long time, and had the people around him help hide it from Lily Collins, and according to himself, prepared a very, very special way to propose.

Murphy wanted to see what tricks this guy who wasn't very obsessed with could play, and he could also accumulate a little experience for his future.

Traffic conditions in Los Angeles are much better than in New York, and Murphy is soon in the beach area of Santa Monica and onto the Corniche that runs along the coastline.

Entering the Esplanade, Murphy had to slow down, and there were simply too many people in the Santa Monica waterfront.

Just like he chose to live in Santa Monica in the early days, it's a place with warm winters and cool summers, and it's not just a great place to spend a cool summer, but also Santa Monica Beach is the best choice for those who want to spend a relaxing afternoon.

Murphy's destination is Santa Monica Flower State Beach, just north of Santa Monica Pier, one of Los Angeles' most famous beaches, with a coastline that stretches for two miles and seems endless.

Due to the slow speed, it took Murphy some time to reach the end of the esplanade, and Santa Monica Huazhou Beach came into his sights.

However, parking is very tight here, and just looking for a parking space took Murphy ten minutes.

Luckily, it's not summer, and in the summer peak season, there is no parking space to be found here.

Parking his car, Murphy made his way to a jetty pier originally built in 1908 as a symbol of Santa Monica and where many movies and TV series were filmed. 、

For example, in James Cameron's movie "Titanic", Jack told Ruth that he would take Ruth to the Santa Monica Pier to take a Ferris wheel; In the movie "Forrest Gump", Forrest Gump ran to the West Bank here.

And James Franco's chosen meeting place is one of the most famous restaurants on the pier called Bubba Gan.

"Hi, Murphy!"

No sooner had he walked into the restaurant than Murphy heard James Franco's voice, "This way, we're over here." ”

Today's Bubba Gan's restaurant is empty, with only a few guests, Murphy doesn't need to ask to know that James Franco must have chartered this restaurant, although the people present even Murphy counted, there were only the two James Franco brothers and Seth Rogan, and Susan Downey who attended instead of Robert Downey Jr., who went to the Far East, but in order to propose to Lily Collins, it was still very wise to charter the restaurant.

In this era of smartphones, if outsiders are present, it may soon appear on social networking sites.

To a star of James Franco's level, whether engaged or married, it is not a one-person matter, it will be related to his future development and the entire brokerage team behind it, and the current CAA agency team has not formulated relevant public relations publicity, so James Franco does not plan to let this proposal be the first to be exposed.

Even the restaurant has a non-disclosure agreement with James Franco.

Murphy came to a large dining table near the window, where everyone sat and whispered, he pulled out a chair, sat between Seth Rogen and Susan Downey, looked at James Franco across from him, and asked with concern, "How's the preparation?" ”

James Franco squeezed his eyes, "It's all set." ”

As he spoke, he also pointed to one of the storage rooms in the dining room, and Dave Franco next to him answered, "When James proposes, I'll come out of the storage room with big surprises and give them to Lily." ”

Murphy was a little curious and couldn't help asking, "What kind of surprise?" ”

Dave Franco hurriedly shook his head, "It's a secret, and no one will know until the final truth is revealed!" ”

Murphy looked at Seth Rogan and Susan Downey again, both of whom shook their heads at the same time, apparently unsure of what kind of surprise the Franco brothers were in store.

"Are you going to study it?" Susan Downey suddenly winked her eyes at Murphy, "Someone has been waiting for your proposal." ”

"Soon." Murphy shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Always look for a suitable opportunity." ”

Everyone sitting at the table knew the meaning of these two people's words, and they couldn't help but laugh at the same time.

Due to James Franco's proposal, the party time told Lily Collins was deliberately pushed back a bit, and Murphy and the others chatted and waited, occasionally enjoying the scenery of Santa Monica Beach outside the window, but they didn't get bored.

Murphy deliberately watched the meeting, because of the weekend, the jetty pier and the beach are particularly crowded, every holiday, there will be small concerts and dances here, which has a unique style.

Especially at dusk and sunset, this artistic conception gives people another unique feeling.

"Here comes the juice!"

A waiter brought over cups of orange freshly squeezed juice, and Dave Franco reminded James Franco, "The juice is here." ”

James Franco waved his hand at the waiter, and after the waiter quickly left, he pulled out a jewelry box from his coat pocket that was clearly a ring.

"Oh, the engagement ring is ready!" Seth Rogan lifted his glasses and said impatiently, "Jim, hurry up and open it, let's see how big the diamond is in the ring?" ”

Murphy asked with concern, "You won't just give the ring to Lily, will you?" ”

Susan Downey shook her head, "That's too old-fashioned. ”

"Of course not!" James Franco opened the box and took out the small diamond ring inside, "I'll do it in a very special way." ”

The ring was particularly small, and Murphy vaguely remembered that Lily Collins' fingers were very thin, presumably made by James Franco.

"In any particular way?" Seth Rogan is still curious.

James Franco smiled, picked up the glass of juice that was sitting in front of the empty seat next to him, and threw the ring into the glass, the orange-yellow juice completely covered the ring, and from the outside, there was nothing unusual about the juice.

"Think about it, you guys." James Franco was a little smug, "Will it be a surprise that Lily drinks a ring when she drinks juice?" And then I propose about it, isn't it very romantic? ”

Susan Downey was the first to nod, "It's much more creative than Robert Downey Jr. giving the ring directly." ”

Then, she turned around and said to Murphy, "This particular proposal will definitely work." ”

Murphy smiled, this kind of trick didn't seem to be original to James Franco, and vaguely remembered which newspaper mentioned that a star whose name he forgot proposed to his model girlfriend in this way.

Either way, it's a lot more creative than just pulling out the ring, and James Franco really wants to surprise Lily Collins.

Putting the ring away, James Franco said to Susan Downey, "Give me a call to Lily and ask where she is." ”

Susan Downey took out her phone, dialed Lily Collins' number, said a few words, hung up the phone, and said to James Franco, "It's already onto the Esplanade, and it is estimated that it will be there in ten minutes." ”

James Franco let out a sigh of relief, as if this wait made him a little nervous.

Murphy looked at James Franco and deliberately diverted the topic so that there would be no surprise for Lily Collins to notice the strangeness of James Franco's appearance.

"Seth," Murphy asked the fat man next to him, "how is your script ready?" ”

The last time Seth Rogan mentioned the concept of combining thriller and comedy, he put aside his work as an actor for a while and devoted himself to preparing for the project.

"The outline is almost finished." Seth Rogan scratched his head, "But I still think something is wrong, and I'm still adding." ”

Murphy nodded, "I can't help much with comedy, you can discuss it with Jonah when he comes back." ”

Seth Rogan sighed, "He's already had some ideas, none of which are very reliable. ”

"It's okay to write a script and let that guy Jonah stuff a joke into it." James Franco shook his head, "Help with the idea or forget it, let him come up with the idea, and the Zenith will appear." ”

"That ......," Seth Rogan thought for a moment, "Jonah's idea is okay, make the earth hell, the good guys will automatically go to heaven, and the bad guys will all stay on the earth to suffer." ”

Dave Franco opened his mouth wide, "Aren't we all going to stay on Earth?" ”

Murphy shrugged his shoulders and continued, "All the people in Hollywood, stay in the area." ”

The door to the restaurant was pushed open from the outside, and Lily Collins, dressed in casual clothes, strode in, smiling and greeting as she walked this way, "Hello everyone, why are you here so early today?" ”

As she spoke, she walked briskly to the empty seat next to James Franco. (To be continued.) )
