As night falls, Robert Downey Jr.'s mansion in Beverly Hills is brightly lit, the huge garden in the backyard is full of guests, bottles of champagne are delivered to the rectangular pool that is the centerpiece of the reception, and the waiters pour them into glasses and deliver them to every corner of the garden. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's a celebratory party to celebrate Robert Downey Jr.'s $8 million win over Iron Man's leading actor, Tony Stark.

Friends like Murphy will certainly not be absent, and after congratulating Robert Downey Jr., their friends will not be polite, James Franco and Lily Collins hide in the corner and whisper, Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill sit at the small round table by the pool, busy discussing the new film.

Instead, Murphy, who came alone, had nothing to do for a while, simply pulled over a chair and sat at another empty table next to Seth Rogan, listening to him and Jonah Hill talk about the preparation of the new film.

However, Murphy did not participate in the opinion casually, since he chose Seth Rogan as the director, he would give enough trust to the other party, and he would not easily intervene unless a serious mistake occurred, and the proposal submitted by Seth Rogen also made him quite satisfied.

This fat man from Canada seems to be honest and funny, but he is actually a very conscientious and responsible person, and quite talented.

Robert Downey Jr. was the absolute protagonist tonight, and there were a lot of people gathered around, and Murphy also saw Avi Arad from Marvel Comics and Kevin Feige from Marvel Pictures, as well as Stan Lee with his iconic sunglasses.

Because of the previous relationship, his relationship with Surprise was not good, and it could even be said that there were some contradictions, and Murphy had no intention of greeting those people, this was a party held by Robert Downey Jr. at home, and if something unpleasant happened between the two parties, it would only be Robert Downey Jr.'s face ugly.

"Hi, Murphy."

A tall blonde beauty suddenly came over to say hello, looking familiar, "I've always wanted to meet you, but unfortunately Donnie didn't have time to introduce me, so I had to come to the door to recommend myself." ”

"Gwyneth Paltrow can take the initiative to talk to ......" Seeing the heroine who would play with Robert Downey Jr. in the future, Murphy stood up and shook her hand, "I will definitely be jealous of all the men present." ”

Gwyneth Paltrow covered her mouth and laughed a few times, "I heard that you have a very good relationship with Donnie?" ”

Murphy shrugged, "We're good friends. ”

The two are not familiar with each other, Gwyneth Paltrow came over, and she just met Murphy, and she may not know when she will use each other in the future, and the relationship network is woven little by little, not just made up casually when it is time to use it.

"It's a celebration to be the director of a $200 million film." Gwyneth Paltrow is quite talkative, "When you're throwing a celebratory party, don't forget to invite me. ”

"Definitely not." Murphy smiled and said, "Congratulations on getting the heroine." ”

"Don't mention this heroine." Gwyneth Paltrow seemed to be dissatisfied, and couldn't hide the disappointment on her face, "Seeing Donnie's salary, and then looking at my own, I'm going to cry in despair, Downey's salary is five times that of mine, Marvel Pictures is so unfair." ”

Murphy just smiled at her and didn't answer.

The huge difference between male and female salaries is the norm in the industry, and the salary of male stars can often reach twice that of female stars for actors with the same fame and appeal.

As for Gwyneth Paltrow's salary is so much lower than Robert Downey Jr., it is also a true reaction to the market appeal, although she is an Oscar-winning actress, she does not have any box office hits, and in recent years, she can only maintain exposure by brushing fashion style.

After a few words of chat, Gwyneth Paltrow politely said goodbye, looking for the next person to network.

In this kind of party with a slightly more formal atmosphere, networking is the theme that will never change.

Murphy sat back at the table and asked for three glasses of champagne for the waiter to bring two of them directly to Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill, who looked around boredly.

In the whole garden, the most active person is the owner of Robert Downey Jr., and then Gwyneth Paltrow as the heroine of the film, former activist Jonah Hill has no time to mess around at parties, and James Franco is also pestered by Lily Collins......

They are relatively quiet Stanton, but Meryl Streep, who is said to be a guest appearance as Tony Stark's mother in the film, is different from what Murphy thinks of as a good wife and mother in the media, and talks and laughs with many male stars at parties, which can be called a master of communication.

"How?" Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill turned to his table, and the latter followed Murphy's gaze, looked at Meryl Streep, and teased, "With such a heavy taste, you have a crush on her?" ”

Murphy retracted his gaze and took a sip of champagne, "Am I that bored?" ”

"You're really boring." Jonah Hill seems to have used all the words she saved up for the night, "Meryl Streep is not boring, although she is old, she is said to have no appetite at all......"

"What?" Murphy didn't quite understand.

Seeing Murphy's puzzled face, Jonah Hill said mysteriously, "Don't you know? Her gossip flew around Hollywood. “

Murphy shook his head, he really hadn't heard of Meryl Streep's gossip scandal, and her external image had always been a good wife and mother.

Seeing that Murphy really didn't know, Jonah Hill coughed twice before he said unhurriedly, "It is rumored that Meryl Slim and Jack Nicholson used to be openly in the crew when they worked together. Earthquake ......"

Murphy thought it was something big and shrugged his shoulders, too lazy to bother with Jonah Hill again.

On the opposite side of the swimming pool, there are also some small round tables for guests to rest, and one of the round tables sits a man and a woman, the woman is young and beautiful, looking like she is either a model or an actor, and the man is in a suit and leather shoes, no matter how you look at it, he is an entertainment agent.

From time to time, the eyes of the two men swept over Murphy's table.

"That's Murphy Stanton." The agent reminded the young woman opposite, "Amy, Louise Lane's audition is going to take place next week, and he's the key. ”

Looking over there, Amy Adams nodded slightly, and it was Murphy Stanton, who had the power to decide the casting, completely vetoed herself.

"Want to get this role." The agent added, "You have to impress him first." ”

Now Amy Adams is not in the future, she can only play some supporting actresses who are not very important, such as the heroine in this kind of big production, basically don't think about it, she finally got the support of an executive director of Warner Bros., passed the news to Murphy Stanton, and didn't get any commitment for the role, and as a result, she didn't even get the opportunity to audition.

After paying so much, Amy Adams, of course, didn't want to give up easily, and specially negotiated with her agent to show up at Robert Downey Jr.'s party.

It's not easy to impress a director, it's even harder to get a director's approval, Amy Adams knows very well that at the level of Murphy Stanton, it's no longer something she can solve by taking off her clothes, a director like this, as long as she wants or has similar thoughts, what kind of beautiful actress doesn't have it?

If you want to impress Murphy Stanton, the first thing is to get his sideways eyes and attention, if the other party doesn't even look at him with interest, no amount of work is useless.

"Go ahead, Amy." The agent gave her a boost, "Give the best of you." ”

Amy Adams stood up, looking across the twenty-foot-wide pool at Murphy again, who was talking to the two fat men and didn't look at them at all.

Between her and Murphy Stanton, it's just a pool away!

Looking down at the pool, the water was crystal clear, about three and a half feet deep......

How do you get the attention of a director with a lot of personality? Amy Adams believes that if she greeted her in the past, she would probably be treated politely like Gwyneth Paltrow just now, but in fact it represents politeness and distance.

She had to make Murphy Stanton remember her deeply!

Amy Adams kicked off her heels without hesitation and jumped into the pool with a thud under the surprised gaze of her agent.

This crisp sound of falling water instantly attracted the attention of countless people.

"Wow...... said Seth Rogan, who was facing the pool, "there's a beautiful woman overboard." ”

Murphy turned his head to look, in the swimming pool opposite, a blonde woman had just stood up from the water, her long hair was completely wet with water, wisps draped behind her head, the light-colored dress was already soaked, under the bright light mapping, the skin inside could be faintly seen, especially on the chest, probably without a chest sticker, the two points of protrusion were extremely obvious.

"What is she going to do?" Jonah Hill noticed that the woman seemed to be looking at her side, and deliberately pointed to her nose, "Could it be that she has taken a fancy to me?" ”

"She's going to take a fancy to you as a pig?" Seth Rogan sneered mercilessly, "Do you think she's a pig too?" ”

It's a joke that is usually done, and Jonah Hill doesn't mind, pointing across the pool and saying, "Look, she's coming towards us." ”

There was a lot of talk around the pool, and most of the people gathered around the perimeter to watch the good show inside.

"What's the situation?" When Robert Downey Jr. heard this, he also walked to the edge of the pool in a few steps, glanced inside, and couldn't help but shake his head, Susan Downey next to him sighed and whispered, "A little actor who came to Murphy." ”

In the pool, Amy Adams wiped the water on her face, and when she saw Murphy on the other side looking at her, she moved her steps without hesitation, wading through the chest-deep water, and walked towards the opposite side with difficulty under the gaze of countless people. (To be continued.) )
