"Congratulations, Director Stanton......"

"Murphy, I didn't expect you to be so young."

In the open-air ballroom, ever since everyone toasted together, Murphy was surrounded by people who had come to greet him, including Fox searchlight executives, producers of Twentieth Century Fox's film division, editors-in-chief of media magazines, and some agents.

Each of them had a big smile on their faces, and the words they spoke were sweeter than honey.

Even Murphy, in such a compliment, was a little fluttering, and felt as if he had really become a big man.

If it were another peer, maybe I wouldn't know where I was, but Murphy was intoxicated, and he still had enough sanity and sobriety in his heart.

He knew that this was just the beginning, not the peak, and that there was still a long way to go, and it was not time to stop and enjoy.

Godin Clyde had just left Murphy's side, ready to say hello to the Twentieth Century Fox, when he passed by the long table where food was placed, when a big fat man suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Hello, Harvey." Godin Clyde certainly recognized Harvey Weinstein's chubby face, "I didn't expect you to come too." ”

Harvey Weinstein smiled, "Congratulations, Godin, for a good deal." ”

"You're so polite." Godin Clyde smiled brightly, "It's Fox Searchlight's luck to be able to open a condition that satisfies Studio Stanton." ”

The relationship between the two sides is competitive, and he naturally speaks politely, "I want to thank you too, Harvey. If it weren't for Miramax's harsh conditions, this box office ......"

Godin Clyde accentuated his tone, "This $60 million film at the box office will not be released by Fox Searchlight." ”

Harvey Weinstein's chubby face was a little ugly, but instead of getting angry, he said, "I admit, I looked away and underestimated Murphy Stanton's ability." ”

"We didn't underestimate Murphy and have been firmly behind him." Godin Clyde was telling the truth, "So Fox Searchlight is the winner now." ”

He laughed a few times, then said a few more polite words and walked away.

Looking at Godin Clyde's back, Harvey Weinstein threw his head up and drank the wine he was holding, turned around and walked towards Murphy.

He knew he had made a mistake, and although he would never admit it in his mouth, he would correct it in private.

If a director's low-cost production can win a high return once, it may be due to luck, but what about twice? It can't all be explained by luck.

Just like Quentin Tarantino at the beginning, "Reservoir Dogs" gave him an interest in investing, and "Pulp Fiction" fully proves the director's ability!

Although Murphy Stanton's films cannot be compared with "Pulp Fiction", his grasp of the market is significantly stronger than that of Quentin Tarantino, who has fallen into a trough in recent years.

After so many years of fighting in Hollywood, Harvey Weinstein knows that chasing success will make it easier to succeed, and when a director is successful, he may go on smoothly; When you fail, you may fail one after another.

Murphy Stanton is clearly on the rise, that is, a director of SF Express.

This is also the most rewarding stage for a director.

Murphy was standing on the balcony of the open-air banquet hall on the outside, and after entertaining another group of people, he was just about to catch his breath when he noticed a familiar fat man walking diagonally opposite.

"Congratulations, Murphy." Harvey Weinstein walked right next to him, holding on to the balcony railing with both hands, and looked out at Beverly Hills, "You've caused me too many surprises. ”

"Thank you!" Murphy also turned his head to look outside and smiled modestly, "Actually, I was surprised myself. ”

He spoke in a calm tone, without any swagger, as if he had achieved only a trivial achievement.

Harvey Weinstein turned his head to look at Murphy, before he came, he was mentally prepared, the other party was young and vigorous, maybe he would use this to humiliate himself a few words, but he didn't expect it to be such a scene.

It's very rare to be able to maintain a calm mind when you are successful, especially in the impetuous place of Hollywood, and Harvey Weinstein values him again.

Murphy is not Robert Downey or Tom Cruise when he was young, he does have an opinion on Harvey Weinstein's original squeeze in his heart, but he will not be stupid enough to come out, even if he squeezes Harvey Weinstein now, what is the use except for being quick for a while?

He just looked at the night view of Beverly Hills, looked down at the Hollywood signs in the distance, and wondered how he could harness the power of Miramax.

A director does not need to have a grudge against any film company, this is the most stupid behavior.

Think about how unbearable Spielberg and Universal Pictures were in order to shoot "Schindler's List" and "Jurassic Park", and didn't they collaborate on "Jurassic Park 2" a few years later?

In this circle, smart directors will not have eternal enemies.

Harvey Weinstein withdrew his gaze from a distance and turned to look, "Murphy, as long as I'm still at Miramax, a film contract will be waiting for you." ”

Murphy didn't expect Harvey Weinstein to come over and say this, and was somewhat surprised, but just said politely, "Thank you." ”

The big fat man on the opposite side nodded and turned to leave.

Looking at the fat back, Murphy thoughtfully that Harvey Weinstein can become a big man in Hollywood, and he will definitely not be a simple person, and a person who can make a geek like Quentin Tarantino willing to work together for more than ten years naturally has his extraordinary.

"What do you think?" A familiar voice came from the side, "So distracted, didn't even see me coming?" ”

Murphy turned around, and Carla Firth, dressed in a black evening gown, was looking at him with her right hand on the railing.

"I just feel like this circle is very complicated." Murphy sighed.

Carla Firth looked in the direction Harvey Weinstein had left and said, "It's complicated to say it's complicated, and it's easy to say it's simple." ”

Murphy leaned against the railing, "Looks like I'm going to ask your teacher for guidance." ”

"For the sake of our friendship, I won't charge for it." Kara Firth made a rare joke, and then said solemnly, "All business circles cooperate because of interests, and they are divided because of interests." ”

"You outright profitist!" Murphy shook his head in mockery.

Carla Firth replied in the same tone, "Don't forget, we're the same kind of people. ”

Murphy turned to look out, and from here, he could see the night view of the whole of Los Angeles, giving people a sense of being able to control a qiē from above.

The sun had already set, and the night breeze at the end of August was cool, and Murphy thought of the time and suddenly asked, "Have you been to Columbia University recently?" ”

"Didn't I tell you?" Carla Firth stood next to Murphy and was also looking out, "Half a year of training has been completed, and I will stay in Los Angeles for the last few months and not go anywhere." ”

She turned her head to look at her, "Are you going to treat me to a big dinner?" ”

"Eating a big meal?" Murphy deliberately pointed to her tall figure, "If you eat again, you'll become fat." ”

After returning from prison visits, he contacted Ross, who was a local snake in Los Angeles and would not go to New York; Carla Firth has a busy schedule and will certainly not leave Los Angeles; The three James Franco guys are talking about going on vacation to the Caribbean......

And Carey Mulligan, wherever she goes, she will definitely follow.

There's nothing to worry about now, and as for the Twin Towers, I'm sorry, there's nothing he can do.

He wasn't in a dazzle yet, and knew that such a thing must not be touched.

Kara Firth also didn't respond to Murphy's words, asking, "What about you?" What's next? New video? ”

"No......" Murphy shook his finger, "I'm going on vacation." ”

He is not Superman, and he will naturally feel tired after being busy continuously, and he plans to find a place to go on vacation after "Saw Horror" is off the stage in North America.

"Are you going on vacation?" Jonah Hill's fat man's voice suddenly sounded, and he and a group of people walked over from behind, "Why don't you come with me to the Caribbean." ”

He had obviously drunk a lot of wine, his tongue was a little bigger, and he completely forgot that there was Kerry Mulligan next to him, and he said with a smile, "There are a lot of hot Latina beauties there, and I heard that it is easy to take the bait!" ”

"Jonah! You idiot......"

Seeing that Carey Mulligan's already somewhat dark face was now even darker, Seth Rogan hurriedly shoved a glass of wine in front of Jonah Hill, "Shut your stinky mouth." ”

Carey Mulligan glanced at the two men, walked directly to Murphy, took his arms and asked, "Why are you hiding here?" ”

She pointed to the crew behind her and said, "They all want to have a drink with you." ”

Carla Firth turned her head to look and said to Murphy, "I'll go first, so I won't bother you." ”

She nodded to the only one she knew, James Franco, and turned to leave the place.

As the only person who was not a member of the crew left, others brought wine and glasses and toasted to Murphy, the success of such a film is inseparable from these collaborators, and Murphy does not refuse.

After drinking too much wine and having less scruples about talking, James Franco suddenly said, "Murphy, the four of us haven't been together for a long time, so let's go on vacation to the Caribbean together." ”

He's a little smarter than Jonah Hill, "Ah...... And, there's Carrey. ”

Murphy was also a little moved, the Caribbean scenery has always been rumored to be good, and turned his head to look at Carey Mulligan beside him, "Honey, what do you think." ”

"I don't want to go." She had always had a problem with James Franco, how could she agree, "It's too hot in the Caribbean." ”

She looked over to the crowd and pointed to the gaffer, David Robbie, and said, "We've talked about vacations before, and I think David's hometown is pretty good. (To be continued.) )
