Today, the Lincoln Center is packed with people, with countless fans and reporters gathering in front of the State Theater of New York, and there is always a burst of cheers at the sight of a star walking on the red carpet. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"There are so many people here today."

Standing in the media area, Morrison Cole, a reporter from the New York Times, said to Amanda Djoko, a reporter for the New York Post, next to him, "There are at least a few thousand fans here." ”

Amanda Djoko flicked her brown ponytail behind her shoulders and said, "It's still for safety reasons, didn't you see it when you came in?" On the outskirts of the Lincoln Center, tens of thousands of people gathered under slogans in support of Murphy Stanton. ”

"Twentieth Century Fox is very clever." Morrison Cole asked, "Amanda, the New York Post and Twentieth Century Fox are also part of News Corp., do you have any inside information?" ”

Amanda Djoko shook her head, "I don't know the specifics, but the newspaper has received instructions from the group company to focus on following up on this incident. ”

They are all veteran reporters who have been engaged in the news industry for many years, and even if there is no factual basis, sometimes they can feel that there is a certain connection behind some news hot events, and when they can't see the truth behind the scenes, they only need to see who is the real beneficiary of the incident, and they can guess some.

There is no doubt that "The Wolf of Wall Street" and Murphy Stanton are the biggest beneficiaries of this "investigative gate", especially the film "The Wolf of Wall Street", which is not a particularly commercial theme, can attract the attention of more than 500 media outlets around the world at its premiere, and it cannot but be said that it has benefited a lot.

But this kind of thing will only linger in people's hearts, neither Morrison Cole nor Amanda Djoko will say it easily, and now that public opinion in the United States is on the side of Murphy Stanton, it is undoubtedly very unwise to go against mainstream public opinion.

"The North American box office or even overseas box office of "The Wolf of Wall Street" should not be a problem."

Looking at a black Bentley sedan parked in front of the red carpet, Amanda Dejoko said, "I just don't know how many hundred million dollars I'm going to get in the end." ”

Morrison Cole nodded and said, "Murphy Stanton is such a natural winner. ”

"Are there any winners who are born?" Amanda Djoko disagreed with Morrison Cole's words, watching Murphy Stanton lead his beautiful and tall girlfriend onto the red carpet and said, "All of this is the result of his hard work." ”

Morrison Cole smiled and didn't speak again, and as Murphy Stanton and Gal Gadot got closer and closer, the media area, which had been crowded with hundreds of people, boiled like a boiling pot, and he also raised his camera in the middle, intending to take a photo of the most famous couple in the United States in the last half month.

The two men walked the red carpet much faster than the average celebrity, and soon walked into the interview area, where Morrison Cole and Amanda Djoko, like other reporters, flocked to the two people, even if they couldn't squeeze around them, to hear what they had to say.

"Quiet! Be quiet! ”

A staff member behind Murphy kept shouting loudly in order to maintain order, and the four bodyguards formed a human wall, keeping Murphy and Gal Gadot firmly behind.

However, the number of reporters who came here today was too much, and the scene seemed a little chaotic, and after a while, it was a little quieter.

Under the maintenance of the staff, a reporter finally asked the question in order.

"Director Stanton, I'm Morrison Cole from The New York Times."

Morrison Cole, who took advantage of the chaos to squeeze to the front, asked loudly through the security guards and Murphy's bodyguards, "What do you think about the Los Angeles police's illegal investigation of you?" ”

Hearing this question, Murphy pondered slightly, and said loudly, "It made me understand one thing, the world is not as clean as I imagined, but only when I know ugliness, I will better understand what beauty is, and I will cherish beauty more." ”

Regarding the question of 'Investigation Gate', Murphy answered very sharply, this is not the other side of the Pacific Ocean that pays attention to modesty and the golden mean, being bullied to the head, and being happy to say something indifferent, that will only be considered a soft egg, and there will be more people who come to the door to find trouble.

Hollywood and even any business circle are full of deceitful competition, and those who want to mix in it cannot be a saint with white flowers, and they can't completely avoid being made a fuss about some things that have been done.

The latter is undoubtedly more likely to cause more trouble than the former.

"Murphy, I'm Emile Ferrara from the Los Angeles Times."

A female reporter tried her best to move the recorder in her hand closer to Murphy and asked, "What do you think of the pre-sale of 'The Wolf of Wall Street' reached $27.2 million, setting a pre-sale record for an R-rated film?" ”

"Thank you to the audience for their support." Murphy said solemnly, "I will work harder to make the films you like." ”

As of noon today, "The Wolf of Wall Street" has sold $27.2 million in first-weekend ticket pre-sales, which means that the film can't be lower than that number in the opening weekend box office anyway.

This is arguably the most direct feedback from the 'survey gate', and there are some that only then become apparent.

For example, due to the large scale of the film and the relatively small audience of the subject matter, the number of theaters contacted by Twentieth Century Fox was only 3,560 at the beginning, but after the fermentation of 'Investigation Gate', several major commercial theaters in the North American theater alliance have increased the number of theaters showing "The Wolf of Wall Street", although the total number did not break the 4,000 mark, but there were also 3,950.

This is already the highest number of premiere theaters that an R-rated film can get in recent times.

After the interview with reporters, and then some routine activities, after the crew took a group photo together, Murphy walked towards the State Theater of New York with Robert Downey Jr., Jonah Hill, James Franco and Seth Rogen.

"You've helped so much with our business."

James Franco sighed and said to Murphy, "We can't help you except say something that agrees with you." ”

Murphy patted him lightly on the shoulder, "We don't have to say these things between us. ”

"That's right." Jonah Hill answered, "I can't help Murphy with anything, but as long as he needs it, my whole person is his!" ”

"you!" Robert Downey Jr. nudged Jonah Hill gently, "What does Murphy want you to do with this fat body?" ”

Seth Rogan deliberately said, "You can squeeze oil." ”

Murphy and the others burst into merry laughter at the same time, and as they laughed, they also walked into the foyer of the New York State Theater, where many people had gathered.

"What are you laughing at, so happy?" Carla Firth and Megan Ellison walked over together, "Don't you share it?" ”

Jonah Hill shook his head busily, "No, absolutely not, it's not something to share." ”

He changed his tone to a mysterious tone, "This is the secret between the Stanton faction!" ”

"Do you have any secrets?" Megan Ellison leaned over and said, "Don't say it now, wait for the book to come out in the future?" ”

"That's a great idea." Jonah Hill's eyes widened immediately, "I can put ...... in the future"

Pointing to Murphy and James Franco, he said, "Write your business in the book, and my pension will be settled." ”

A few people laughed again, and after laughing, they gradually dispersed, and Meghan Ellison said a few words to Murphy and was about to leave, when Murphy suddenly thought of something and called her out.

"Wait, Megan."

Hearing Murphy's words, Megan Ellison stopped, turned back and asked, "Is there anything else, Murphy?" ”

She actually really wanted Murphy to have something to trouble her, so that it meant that she could continue to work together in the future.

Fools don't want to work with Murphy Stanton, if nothing else, looking at the pre-sale of "The Wolf of Wall Street", which almost indicates that the film will be a success, the only doubt is how much profit it will make.

"Introduce someone to you." Murphy said a word to Megan Ellison and then to Gal Gadot, "Help me get Jessica Chastain over." ”

He saw a red-haired Jessica Chastain just now, not far from the left, he should have wanted to come over to greet him, and when he saw someone next to him, he was waiting there.

Gal Gadot nodded, walked over to Jessica Chastain in a few steps, and muttered, and Jessica Chastain followed her back.

"Jesse, introduce a friend to you." Murphy was not verbose, and said directly, "This is Megan Ellison, don't look at her young, but she is a very good film investor." ”

Hearing Murphy's words, Jessica Chastain immediately understood that it was Murphy who was specifically helping her.

Murphy introduced Megan Ellison again, "This is Jessica Chastain, who was my assistant at the beginning, a very good actress. ”

The two women said hello, and Megan Ellison said, "I know you, you starred in Murphy's Planet of Terror." ”

Jessica Chastain helped, and Murphy naturally won't forget that he has an excellent reputation in this area, which is why Jessica Chastainen fell to him, because she knew that what she did would be rewarded with something.

Murphy said to Megan Ellison again, "I heard that you are going to invest in several projects, and if there is a suitable role, don't forget Jesse." ”

Megan Ellison smiled, "No problem. ”

Jessica Chastain hastened to say, "Thank you. ”

Murphy nodded to Jessica Chastain and said, "It's almost time, let's go inside." ”

The screening of "The Wolf of Wall Street" is about to begin. (To be continued.) )
