After the production of the film was completed, Murphy first contacted Bill Rothes and sent the finished film to the MPAA for rating, which must be done quickly, the MPAA's rating system seems to be open and transparent, but in fact there are many unknown aspects, the most typical is the time of the rating.

The MPAA is completely under the control of the six major Hollywood companies, and the films produced by the six major must be rated as a priority, such as the films produced by Stanton Studios, if you do not use the channels of CAA, it may take a month for the rating alone.

"In the evening, Lionsgate Pictures' Mitton Johnson, who manages the distribution business, is sure to be in attendance."

Standing in the living room of Studio Stanton, Kerry Mulligan was tidying up Murphy's bow tie, and Bill Rothes looked over there and said, "I've met him a few times before and can introduce you." ”

He looked down at the guest list he had gotten from various channels, and said, "There's also an executive from New Line Pictures, I'll deal with it." ”

Glancing at Carey Mulligan again, Bill Rossi's eyelids jumped, but he didn't say anything more.

After all, she is sixteen years old, past the most sensitive age, as long as she doesn't want to, it won't cause much trouble, and he has also seen Murphy's methods, so he should be able to coordinate this relationship.

It's nothing in the UK or North America, and it's Hollywood.

Over there, Carey Mulligan sorted out Murphy's gown, and Bill Rothes said, "Murphy, you need to prepare more formal clothes, you can wear whatever you want to wear when you work, but you must wear a suit when negotiating or attending this kind of formal party." ”

"I will."

Of course, Murphy can listen to this useful advice, and at the moment he only has a formal suit, which on the one hand requires few occasions to wear, and on the other hand, he has been short of money since he was released from prison, and has gradually developed the habit of being careful with his budget.

Bill Rothes looked at his watch, "It's getting late, it's time for us to go." ”

Murphy nodded, followed him out the door, and when he was about to reach the door, Carey Mulligan, who was walking behind, shouted.

"Murphy......" she tilted her face slightly.

Turning around and giving a gentle kiss on Carey Mulligan's lips, Murphy left Studio Stanton and hopped into Bill Rothes' car for Beverly Hills.

Tonight, there is a charity duì at the Four Seasons Hotel, and there are many pies like this one every month in Hollywood, and this circle also uses various ways to show the outside world their best side.

There is a certain threshold for entry for such a pie, and if there is no Bill Rothes operation, Murphy doesn't know if he can enter, he is here for a clear purpose, and he has no interest in the auction and fundraising link in front of the pie.

With his current financial resources, he simply can't afford to participate in this game.

After the charity auction, everyone left the ballroom and went to the lawn behind the hotel, where a stage was set up in the middle of the lawn, on which the band played soothing music, and the charity evening instantly turned into a place of socialization, as if this was the real theme of the pie.

Although he saw several big stars such as Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt, Murphy didn't come forward to talk, and now he will only be bored if he does, he has his own goals.

"This ......"

Seeing that there were fewer people around the target, Bill Rothes hurriedly called out to Murphy and walked under the palm tree over there.

Standing there was a man with a little gray hair, if Murphy was not mistaken, the one who had just finished talking with him and left should be the future famous Scarlett Johansson, although Scarlett Johansson is only a little famous now, from her respectful attitude, it is not difficult to infer that the other party has a certain status in the industry.

"Hi, Miton."

Before he got closer, Bill Rothes took the initiative to say hello, and the man also looked over, but his eyes were a little strange, as if he didn't know Bill Rosys.

A young woman behind him seemed to lean over to warn him, and he immediately changed into a polite smile, "Hello, Bill, I didn't expect to see you here." ”

Seeing this, Murphy understood that the other party didn't remember Bill Rothes at all, and it was not surprising to think that although Lionsgate was not the top big company in the industry, it was also a very powerful depository, and it was normal for a big man in charge of this kind of company's distribution business not to remember a small agent like Bill Ross.

Bill Rothes also saw this, but it didn't happen at all, and enthusiastically leaned over to Milton Johnson and said some socializing words that were appropriate for the occasion.

Murphy stood quietly behind him, never interjecting at will, and it would be rather unwise to chime in until Bill Rothes was officially introduced, unless a very suitable opportunity arose.

To put it mildly, he doesn't have any capital to interject right now.

"There are a lot of young directors emerging now, and that's a good thing for all Hollywood companies." Bill Rothes unobtrusively turned the conversation to Murphy, "I just know one, very young, but very talented. ”

"Oh?" Milton Johnson didn't say anything special, just raised an eyebrow.

In Hollywood, he sees too many self-proclaimed talented people who appear every day.

"I'll introduce you."

Bill Rothes turned to look at Murphy and deliberately pulled his company out, "This is Murphy Stanton, and CAA is very optimistic about his future and talent. ”

"Murphy ......," he added, "this is Mr. Milton Johnson, from Lionsgate." ”

Miton Johnson looked up at Murphy with a strange look in his eyes.

"Hello, Mr. Johnson." Murphy hurriedly stretched out his hand, "It's my honor to know you. ”

Milton Johnson gave him a gentle squeeze on the hand, "Hello. ”

He seems to have heard the name somewhere.

The young woman in the back came up again and whispered behind his ear, "Miramax released a small production called Hard Fruit Candy a few months ago, and the purchase cost of a million dollars has already brought them nearly three million dollars, and the director of that film is also named Murphy Stanton. ”

The woman was clearly his assistant and spoke very skillfully, whispering just enough to be heard by Milton Johnson but not to the ears of those in front.

Miton Johnson didn't go around the bush and asked directly, "Are you the director of Hard Candy?" ”

"Yes." Murphy said calmly, "It was my first feature film. ”

Although the other party's face was still calm, he could hear that Miton Johnson's tone had changed. (To be continued.) )
