The sun set in the west, and through the gap between the two buildings, a few rays of light shone on Murphy's body, and he stood in front of the black Ford sedan, the light reflected from the window glass seemed to form a strange halo on him, which looked a little dazzling and a little unreal.

It's like Murphy in the eyes of Tony Guzman opposite.

He and Fox Searchlight are both optimistic about the market potential of "Chainsaw", and they also came up with an expectation of $10,000 at the box office of a single theater in the first weekend, as long as this expectation can be met, subsequent expansion of screenings is inevitable, and with appropriate publicity, the final North American box office is very likely to break through the $10 million mark.

However, the final result was much more than they expected, and it was almost doubled.

Thirty theaters screened, and the box office of a single theater on the weekend was $17,000, which can only be said to be amazing! Where has a small-scale horror film ever achieved such success in recent years?

Tony Guzman is now well aware that both himself and the Fox searchlight behind him underestimated the rookie director and his films!

The person who achieves the results deserves respect, so when the other party was about to leave the Fox searchlight, Tony Guzman sent him out.

This has never been done before!

"Murphy, don't forget our publicity plan." After Tony Guzmán finished his admonition, he smiled and said, "If you have time, let's have coffee together." ”

"You can call me anytime." Murphy opened the door.

He had just gotten into the car when Tony Guzmán actually walked over and closed the door of the Ford sedan......

Murphy glanced at him through the window, nodded slightly, and then started the car and drove onto the road ahead, driving some distance, he looked in the rearview mirror, where Tony Guzman was still standing, still looking goodbye to him and his car.

"This is Hollywood." Murphy whispered.

Tony Guzman is simply the best portrayal of Fox's searchlight attitude.

Today, Murphy spent a whole day at Fox Searchlight, and what he felt the most was the change in attitude from Fox Searchlight, just like Tony Guzman, and now that the film has been expanded, Fox Searchlight has once again increased its promotional expenses, and the film has been screened in hundreds of theaters in North America at the same time, and subsequent copies are also being printed and shipped, and it is inevitable to continue to expand the scale of screening.

More than 1,000 copies are distributed in hundreds of theaters, which is actually not much.

However, before Murphy came out, Fox Searchlight had just received the news that as of 4 o'clock this afternoon, "Saw Horror" had received about $1.5 million on 1,030 screens in 650 theaters in North America.

On weekday Mondays, a single screen can gross more than $1,000, which is already very gratifying.

All of them show that Saw is making steady progress.

Murphy drove into the Santa Monica Valley area to pick up Kerry Mulligan, arriving a little late, and when he arrived, Kerry Mulligan was already waiting under a large palm tree near Wrought Iron Gate.

Beside her, Murphy saw another familiar figure.

The Ford slowly stopped in front of the palm tree, and as soon as Murphy pushed the door and got out of the car, Carey Mulligan pounced on him, kissed him on the cheek, then took his arm, looked under the palm tree, and said, "Honey, look at who I met today." ”

Seeing the relatively rare long red hair, Murphy had already recognized Jessica Chastain, stepped forward, and said with a smile, "Hi, Jesse." ”

"Hi, Murphy." Jessica Chastain also greeted with a smile.

Carey Mulligan leaned into Murphy's ear and whispered, "She's now in the acting class as well." ”

Instead of asking these questions, Murphy said, "Where are you going?" I'll send you there if I stop by? ”

Looking at Murphy and then at Jessica Chastain, Carey Mulligan's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, but she didn't speak, believing that Murphy was just a polite invitation.

"It's too much trouble." Jessica Chastain shook her head politely, "I've already hailed a taxi." ”

"yes." Kerry Mulligan hurriedly spoke, "Jesse just called a taxi, and it's probably coming soon." ”

Murphy nodded, not insisting, "Goodbye, Jesse." ”

"Goodbye, Murphy."

Watching Carey Mulligan walk to the car with Murphy in his arms, Jessica Chastain bit her lower lip hard, is this guy who was embarrassed before and could only stay in the slums about to become famous?

The black Ford sedan was far away, and she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, a gangster, a person with no higher education, a person with no professional learning experience, and a person who was just groping on his own, was about to succeed?

And what about yourself? A top student at Juilliard School, who has achieved nothing, has to learn acting with a silly girl like Carey Mulligan......

The world is really unfair, why is it that people as talented as her are always not appreciated?

Thinking of this, Jessica Chastain suddenly laughed, it was a self-deprecating laugh, isn't this the world like this? She had also spent a few months in Hollywood before, and how many talented geniuses had she seen depressed?

"Is chance really more important than talent?" She thought of something Murphy had said.

But how do you find opportunities? Jessica Chastain looked at the place where the Ford had disappeared, and there was a sense of admiration in her heart that she had never seen before, something she had ignored in the past.

Murphy Stanton's Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info much lower than her, didn't she have no chance in the beginning? But he didn't wait, didn't complain about the injustice of the world, and never complained about the world, but created a zào opportunity for himself!

She had been his assistant, she knew a little bit about his past, and she knew what he had done to get to where he is today!

How long has it taken him to go from being a gangster in a slum to completing his first film by relying on some unruly tricks and abductions, and now to become a director who can be mentioned in magazines like "Premiere"?

Jessica Chastain remembered the Premiere magazine reviews about Saw and Murphy Stanton that I watched today.

"Judging from the film "Chainsaw", Murphy Stanton, who is also a screenwriter and director, is not at all like a newcomer, with skill, meticulous thinking, and rich imagination, which is amazing; In addition to the careful layout and meticulous layout of the plot, it also hides the revelation of the good and evil of human nature and the questioning of the philosophy of life behind the blood. ”

"Having no big-name actors and dazzling special effects, Murphy Stanton has taken the art of horror to a whole new level by breaking free from the same vulgar routines and firing at the audience visually, intellectually, and emotionally!"

When has such a high review of "Premiere" magazine ever been given to a rookie director?

Retracting her gaze, Jessica Chastain lowered her head, the chagrin in her heart was only clear to herself, she regretted leaving Stanton Studio very, very much, this decision was extremely stupid!

"You're stupid as a pig!" She tugged at the corner of her dress.

If she had a chance to do it all over again, she would say that she would never leave Stanton Studios, and then she would have a prestigious credential and not be struggling like she is now.

Is it useful to just regret it now?

"That's $1.5 million today?"

Back at Stanton Studios, Carey Mulligan pulled a chair and sat down, snapping his fingers and counting, "Last weekend was $510,000, and today, Saw grossed more than $2 million at the North American box office!" ”

When the two employees in the studio left after work, Murphy walked over to the water cooler, poured two glasses of water, went over to Carey Mulligan for one, took another one himself, took a sip, and said, "Honey, it's just $2 million." ”

Carey Mulligan also took a sip of water, leaned over to Murphy's side, opened his eyes wide, and deliberately changed his exaggerated tone, "This is a box office record for you!" ”

That's exactly what happened, Murphy shrugged his shoulders and said self-deprecatingly, "There will be new records every day in the future." ”

Standing on tiptoe and kissing Murphy, Carey Mulligan circled around him, "You changed your name to Mr. Recordbreaker." ”

The teasing in these words could naturally sound Murphy, and he flexed his fingers and made a gesture to pop the chestnut, Carey Mulligan quickly covered his head and took a step back, pointed to him, and said aggrievedly, "Hey, I'm your girlfriend!" ”

Murphy withdrew his hand, pulled over a chair, sat down at the desk next to him, and hooked his fingers at Carey Mulligan, "Bring the briefcase." ”

Despite pouting in grievance, Carey Mulligan walked over to the hanger, took Murphy's briefcase hanging on it, and when he handed it to Murphy, he muttered, "Do you have any more work to deal with?" ”

"Well," Murphy nodded, opening his briefcase and pulling out a plan, "Fox Searchlight may arrange an interview for the crew, but it won't be until the box office really gets started." ”

With the current box office figures, looking for media interviews is simply thankless.

Hearing the interview, Kerry Mulligan's eyes immediately lit up, and he leaned over and hurriedly asked, "Is there me?" Can I participate? ”

Murphy nodded, turned his chair, and said to her, "I've talked to Fox Searchlight, and I'll have you." ”

"Wow, I knew that." Carey Mulligan opened his arms and pounced on Murphy, "You're always the best!" ”

Pinching the small nose in front of him, Murphy just wanted to kiss her on the forehead, when he suddenly found that Carey Mulligan was like a boneless, sliding down his body, and the innocent and cute baby face gradually fell on his lower abdomen.

The sound of his knees falling to the ground sounded, and Carey Mulligan knelt in front of Murphy, his face buried deeply, like a man who was dying of starvation had discovered the most delicious food in the world...... (To be continued.) )
