As the sun gradually turned west, it finally set below sea level, and the lights at the entrance of the Wave Manor suddenly turned on, revealing the crowded doorway. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There were hundreds of reporters and paparazzi at the gate of the manor, and they didn't even know which TV stations, and even the TV broadcast trucks drove over, and they all aimed their cameras at the inside of the manor.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, they could only photograph the villa through the wrought iron gate, and they couldn't photograph the garden hidden behind the villa at all.

It's not that no reporter has thought of sneaking in, but seeing the sturdy security personnel can only dispel these unreliable thoughts.

On the other side of the wrought iron gate, at the entrance alone, there were nearly ten security personnel on standby, guarding reporters and paparazzi, and never allowing them to cross a single step over the thunder pool.

In the back garden, after a brief engagement ceremony, Murphy and Gal Gadot cut the cake together and stood in front of the microphone on stage amid the cheers of their friends.

"Murphy, say a few words!"

The voice of Robert Downey Jr. came from the lawn, "Hurry up, tell me how you feel now!" ”

Margot Robbie, who was standing at the bottom of the stage, was also heckling, "And Gail! ”

Murphy took a step back and pushed Gal Gadot forward, "You come first." ”

"Be quiet! Be quiet! ”

Jonah Hill volunteered to act as a maintainer of order, and less than thirty people came to the engagement party, and the backyard immediately fell silent.

Gal Gadot, dressed in a moon-white evening gown, stood in front of the microphone, seemed a little excited, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm very, very, very enjoying, happiness is really a wonderful feeling." ”

After saying that, she gently wiped the corners of her eyes and didn't let the tears roll down.

There was a round of applause from under the stage, all of whom were relatives and friends, and Murphy was not polite, pulled up Gal Gadot, came to the microphone, and said directly, "Gail is really special, I am really lucky, she has always supported and accommodated everything about me, and proposing to her is the smartest move I have ever made!" ”

There are some things that don't need to be said, Murphy just said a few words, and then led Gal Gadot down.

"Congratulations, Murphy!"

"Congratulations, Murphy, Gail!"

"You're a natural pair!"

"No one is better suited to each other than you!"

"You are meant to be together!"

"Remember to let us know when the wedding will take place!"

Rounding the party, Murphy and Gal Gadot received a whole bunch of blessings.

At the end of the party, the formal ceremony was over, and some people who were busy with work and affairs left early.

For example, Robert Downey Jr., who only came back from Atlanta in the afternoon, will fly back tonight, and will continue the filming of "Iron Man 3" tomorrow.

"If you take someone's salary, you have to do things for others." Jonah Hill deliberately joked, "Downey is now getting the first salary of a Hollywood actor, and he can't help it when it comes to work." ”

Murphy naturally knows this situation and will not force Robert Downey Jr. to stay.

As the night wore on, most of the guests had left, leaving only the Stanton party, and Murphy simply led a few people out of the somewhat chilled garden and into the dining room in the villa, where Gal Gadot beckoned the maid to bring him snacks and drinks, and the group of friends chatted over drinks.

The topic of several people is all over the world, they can say whatever comes to mind, they are friends with each other, and they don't have so many scruples.

"I met Emma some time ago when I went to Brown University to promote 'The End of the World.'" Seth Rogun talked about Emma Watson, who has been close to the Stanton party lately, "Emma has changed boyfriends again, how many are these this year?" ”

Murphy picked up his glass, raised it to everyone, and said before drinking, "You better ask Emma about this kind of thing." ”

Just like many Hollywood male stars frequently change girlfriends, this kind of thing is also common for female stars, Emma Watson is young, beautiful and golden, and it is not a big deal to find a few more handsome young guys who have the right appetite to play with.

"By the way......" Murphy asked, turning the conversation back to business in the Pacific Ocean, "Seth, how has Armageddon been at the box office lately?" ”

He was thinking about working with Netflix for the past few days, and he was preparing for the engagement party these days, and he didn't pay much attention to the box office progress of "Armageddon" at all.

"It went relatively well, better than we expected." Seth Rogan put down his glass and said roughly, "It's been the Thanksgiving holiday recently, and the box office trend of the film has been stable, and after the first weekend, as of yesterday Friday night, the box office has accumulated more than $100 million." ”

There was irrepressible excitement in his tone, "As long as there is no crash like "Thor" in the next month, the final North American box office will definitely exceed 200 million US dollars!" ”

For a-pee-fart comedy, the $200 million North American box office can be said to be a big hit.

"Overseas?" Lily Collins asked with concern.

"Overseas has only started to be released this week." Seth Rogan lifted his glasses, "The specific statistics are not yet available, but the overseas box office is definitely not as good as that of North America." ”

James Franco nodded, "Being able to match the North American box office can be said to be an explosion of character." ”

Everyone else agreed.

The reality is here, compared with science fiction films, action movies, magic films, epic war films and comic films,, pee, fart comedy is out of the scope of Europe and the United States, and it is difficult to gain more widespread recognition.

No way, it's an inevitability of cultural differences.

When Murphy lived on the other side of the ocean, he couldn't understand what was so funny about some popular American comedies, and those jokes were confusing to him, but blonde foreigners always watched them with relish.

"Now Seth and I have received a lot of offers from companies." Jonah Hill is a little smug, "The two of us are hot comedy directors and producers right now. ”

Seth Rogun said, "Be cautious in your film selection. ”

Murphy nodded in agreement, "Seth is right, the reputation you have built cannot be squandered easily. ”

"Otherwise......," James Franco continued, "it would be like Douglas and Sons." ”

Jonah Hill, Seth Rogan, James Franco and Murphy smiled knowingly.

Gal Gadot knew that these guys weren't as harmless as they seemed, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to kill themselves from the countless competitors they have today.

Lily Collins seemed bored, stood up and said, "Gail, last time you said you had a new gym room, let's go check it out." ”

"Okay." Gal Gadot beckoned to the rest of the women, "Susan, Lauren, come along." ”

Susan Downey and Lauren Miller left the small ballroom with her and Lily Collins.

After the women left, the topic of Murphy and others became more unscrupulous, chatting about a lot of gossip and interesting things in the circle, such as the ** incident of Scarlett Johansson some time ago, and the fake love affair between Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Holt concocted by Twentieth Century Fox in order to promote the "X-Men" series......

In fact, men's gossip hearts are not much less than women's.

Although the former has leaked large-scale photos, there is nothing too good to discuss, this kind of thing on the other side of the Pacific Ocean can bring a fatal blow to an actress, but in Hollywood it is not a big deal, no one takes it too seriously, even fans.

This is the most obvious manifestation of cultural differences.

Even, because Scarlett Johansson's large-scale photo was stolen by hackers, and Scarlett Johansson herself argued that the photo was taken for her husband Ryan Reynolds at the time, she not only did not attract much criticism, but won the general sympathy of the media and the public.

In some ways, the photo leak has brought even more benefits to Scarlett Johansson than harm.

"You know what? Dave and Nicholas Holt are good friends. ”

James Franco mysteriously talked about the second thing, and it seems that there is insider information, Dave Franco is his own brother, and he is not very obsessed with him, "Nicholas Holt boasted to Dave that he and Jennifer Lawrence got their hands on Jennifer Lawrence the day after they agreed to a fake relationship in the presence of his agent and lawyer. ”

Murphy was not interested, and Jonah Hill simply said, "Is there anything strange about this?" ”

"Of course!" James Franco swore that "Nicholas Holt sent Dave a picture that he took when he was done, and this guy made Jennifer Lawrence look in the face, and she is one of the hottest candidates for the Oscar for Best Actress this year!" ”

"In recent years, this actress called Jennifer Lawrence has risen to prominence." Seth Rogan sighed, "It was an overnight success. ”

Murphy shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, several of them have been fighting in a relatively low circle for many years before they have the current results, and it is inevitable to feel a little emotional when they see this kind of lucky girl.

And recently, there have been rumors in the circle that Harvey Weinstein is ready to promote Jennifer Lawrence to the throne this awards season, although the ability of this Jewish fat man to run the Oscars is not as good as it was back then, but it should not be underestimated.

Of course, everyone knows that people like Harvey Weinstein never buy and sell for free or at a loss.

Several people talked until it was nearly twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, drank three bottles of wine, and then left under the leadership of their respective female companions, and Jonah Hill, who had drunk too much without female companions, Murphy simply let him stay.

After the engagement party, Murphy quickly returned to work, and in addition to cooperating with Twentieth Century Fox's publicity, he kept an eye on the negotiations with Netflix.
