The black Bentley sedan stopped in front of the Betty Emitaki Hotel in West Hollywood, Murphy was wearing a formal suit, holding Gal Gadot in a small brown and red dress, and got out of the car and entered the hotel together, and immediately the staff of Twentieth Century Fox printed it, Murphy's face was the best admission ticket, and the staff did not need to check the invitation, and came directly to him and Gal Gadot.

"Mr. Stanton, Miss Gadot, good evening." The staff made a gesture of please, "Please go this way." ”

Led by the staff, Murphy and Gal Gadot walked into the dedicated elevator room, where others were waiting for the elevator.

One of the women whispered, "James Murdoch actually took over the entire top floor, what a big deal." ”

Murphy glanced over there, and the elevator arrived, pulling Gal Gadot and walking straight into the elevator.

The party, held in the name of Twentieth Century Fox, was actually a private party for James Murdoch, but Twentieth Century Fox had to pay for it.

The most famous example is Michael Ovitz, the founder of the former CAA, who spent nearly $10 million to renovate his office after entering Disney, but was quickly swept away by Disney and became a famous laughing stock in the circle.

Spending public money is something Murphy has seen a lot, and he doesn't find it unusual.

A dedicated elevator leads to the top floor of Betty Hermitage, a pristine garden with a heated saltwater pool, gazebo, outdoor sunken fireplace, indoor and outdoor lounge areas and 360-degree views of the Hollywood Hills.

"Hi Murphy......"

Just as Duke left where the elevator room was, James Murdoch, who had met once at Carla Fez's party, greeted him and offered to extend his right hand, "Long time no see." ”

The other party had a warm smile on his face, and Duke also smiled and shook his hand, "Yes, James, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

James Murdoch greeted Gal Gadot politely again, leading the way, "This way, please." ”

The two Murphys followed him past the pool, up a flight of steps, and into an open-air ballroom.

The open-air ballroom is decorated in bark brown tones, with floors, sofas and open-air fireplaces all in the same color, and the view of the lush woods of the Hollywood Hills is visible directly from the resting area.

The entire top floor was brightly lit, and there weren't many guests in the ballroom, so James Murdoch's party was obviously more qualified.

James Murdoch said a few words to Murphy and went to entertain the other guests, and many people at the party knew Murphy and pulled Gal Gadot to say hello.

"I didn't expect there to be such a place in West Hollywood."

Standing on the railing of the open-air ballroom, Murphy looked around, "I don't know. ”

"Because your energy and time are spent making movies." Gal Gadot stood with him, deliberately pinched Murphy's arm, and said rather distressedly, "You're at the age when you should be fat, but you're thinner than before." ”

Murphy smiled, "You're not?" ”

Since there were not many visitors, and he had socialized before, Murphy simply pulled Gal Gadot to find a place to enjoy the scenery and sat down, just as a waiter passed by and asked them to bring drinks, which was supposed to be a break after busy work.

Some time ago, he was running all over the world for the publicity announcements, and after coming back, he participated in the dubbing, and Murphy also felt a little tired.

But in Hollywood, relationships are very important, especially when James Murdoch was promised to attend, and such a party is impossible to do.

On the other side, there were two old men who had just arrived, quietly looking at Murphy's side.

"That young man is Murphy Stanton?" George Lucas stood up straight and asked his friend Spielberg next to him, "You look so young." ”

Spielberg glanced over there, "That's right, it's him." ”

"I heard he invested in your series?" George Lucas asked again.

"No way...... Spielberg shook his head, "I was short on liquidity, so I had to accept his investment." ”

George Lucas continued to look at Murphy with interest and said, "I've seen a few of his films, and they do have a unique style, and it's the first time I've seen a real person. ”

"Murphy Stanton is the undisputed leader of the younger generation of directors in Hollywood, he has produced some great work, and his darkening style in action and sci-fi is groundbreaking."

In the face of his best friend, Spielberg did not need to hide it, and directly said his true thoughts, "I think he will profoundly influence Hollywood filmmaking." ”

It's the first time George Lucas has heard Spielberg praise a young director so highly, and there are few people who can praise Spielberg so much, so he couldn't help but look over there a few more times, and sighed, "It's a pity that I'm old and ready to retire, otherwise I must go over and get to know him." ”

He was ready to quit the mainstream Hollywood film industry, and he had no interest in making friends with the younger generation, even the best of them.

Murphy was still making small talk to Gal Gadot when a chubby black woman suddenly walked over.

"Hello, Director Stanton."

Hearing the greeting voice, Murphy quickly stood up, looked at the black woman, very familiar, and then remembered who she was, "Hello, Ms. Winfrey." ”

The person who came over was none other than the famous Oprah Winfrey.

After exchanging a pleasantry to Murphy, Oprah Winfrey extended her hand to Gal Gadot again, "Hello, Miss Gadot. ”

Gal Gadot squeezed her hand lightly, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Winfrey." ”

Oprah Winfrey spoke very directly, and after saying hello, she said straight to the point, "I just saw it, and it's impressive." ”

"Thank you." Murphy politely said, "It's an honor." ”

"Director Stanton, Miss Gadot." Oprah Winfrey sent out a direct invitation, "Interested in going to my talk show?" ”

Gal Gadot didn't speak, but glanced at Murphy.

Oprah's talk show is famous, and Murphy is well aware of this, but he understands that the audience of Oprah's talk show is completely inconsistent with his style positioning.

"I can't say yes......" he smiled and said, "In the absence of the agent, I will casually accept the invitation to default." ”

Murphy added, "Ms. Winfrey, you can go talk to my agent, Bill Rosies." ”

Hearing him say this, Oprah Winfrey thought Murphy was interested, and said, "I'll get people in contact with CAA when I get back." ”

After a few more polite words, Oprah Winfrey said goodbye and left.

Murphy has no interest in participating in Oprah's talk show at all, but Oprah Winfrey has a huge influence, and he personally sent out an invitation, and it would be too blunt to refuse directly, so he simply pushed it to the brokerage company, which was originally carried by the agent and the brokerage company.

Although he is not interested in the Oprah talk show, Murphy is well aware of the influence of the show and will not underestimate Oprah Winfrey as a person.

The reason why I don't want to participate is that I don't like Oprah Winfrey very much, and second, the audience of Oprah's talk show.

Nearly 90 percent of Oprah's talk show audience is housewives over the age of thirty-five, and perhaps others need the support of housewives, but his movies have never been a housewife's dish.

Who can expect housewives as a group to watch heavily oppressive film noir on a large scale?

On the other hand, Murphy doesn't want to expose his private life on this show, media coverage is one thing, and letting him speak out on his own is another thing entirely.

People who have watched Oprah's talk show can always see Oprah Winfrey with an understanding and generous appearance, and after digging out the so-called past and scars of the guests, she will cry with her when necessary, and the hug sent by her generous body is even more famous.

But why does she always dig out the other side of celebrities? Is her words really magical? Can the guests who participate in the show show show their scars?

Of course not!

As everyone knows, each episode of the show is carefully designed, and before the design, Oprah Winfrey's company and team will do a lot of targeted investigations, for example, if a celebrity has been abused by her mother since childhood, then this mother is likely to appear on the show, and then red. Bare. Naked to expose the scars of the guests, she jumps out to play a sympathizer or savior......

Oprah's talk show seems to be a show with a very good conscience, but like other media, the process of production and preparation is as far as the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean combined.

More importantly, Oprah's talk show relies on Oprah Winfrey's strength, often engaging in surprise attacks, and does not communicate with the guest's PR or agent in advance, which Murphy dislikes.

Seeing Oprah Winfrey walking away, Murphy reminded Gal Gadot, "Remember to tell Bill if I forgot." ”

"Hmm." Gal Gadot nodded slightly.

The two sat down again, and before they had finished half a glass of water, Kara Firth walked over with James Murdoch and another beautiful woman, who was very close to James Murdoch and looked like it was supposed to be his girlfriend or wife.

Murphy also doesn't know if James Murdoch is married.

After James Murdoch came over, he introduced Murphy and Gal Gadot to the female companion, she is a model, Murphy has never heard her name, and only said hello to her, but Gal Gadot played the role of Murphy's female companion very well, and chatted casually with each other.

"Murphy...... James Murdoch came over, of course with his own purpose, "I heard Carla say that you know more about the situation on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and you are fluent in their language?" ”
