Ask for a subscription! Ask for a commuter pass! Ask for a referral ticket!

The answer to this question is obvious.

"Carrey, if you choose a literary film...... Murphy tries to analyze the pros and cons for her, "it means that no one will pay attention for many years, and in the next five or even ten years, you can only be an actor, and even after the prime time of thirty-five years old, you are still an actor." ”

The current Hollywood is not the Hollywood of the past, and how many actresses have really become famous from the independent film industry? Even fewer become superstars.

The new generation of acting stars have taken a different path from their predecessors, they became popular in box office blockbuster films, became household names in the United States, and had super appeal, and then switched to the literary and artistic small production zuò with the hope of winning awards, carefully creating roles and impacting professional awards.

This is Hollywood, even if the academic school despises business, their popularity and business achievements can also become qualifications.

Moreover, after becoming famous, he is also qualified to bargain with the film producer and distributor, so as to win more resources for himself.

Compared with suffering in literary films and waiting for an opportunity with extremely small odds, this is the real road to fame and fortune.

Of course, if you just want to be an actor, none of this matters.

"I see," Carey Mulligan nodded, "with enough box office, even if I don't win an award, I can be popular." That's right, Murphy. ”

"You're getting smarter." Murphy pinched her nose, the circle was too chaotic, and he also wanted to shelter his girlfriend, "My project is aimed at the market, I dare not say that every film can be a big hit, at least there is no problem with entering the theater for large-scale screening." ”

It's much better than those that are made and only go into the videotape market.

"Nasty!" Carey Mulligan slapped Murphy's hand away, leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek, "Then I'll wait for you to make me red." ”

Murphy laughed, but sighed in his heart, the noir-style movies he is good at are actually not very suitable for female characters.

But he can also make some changes, such as the new project, compared to the previous version, a role has been changed specifically for Carey Mulligan, and the role is only less than that of the male and female leads.

"I'll go back first." Kerry Mulligan pushed the door and got out of the car, and before closing the door, he said, "You drive slowly." ”

Murphy nodded and started the car again.

In the past, many people specialized in studying Oscar winners and actresses, and then were surprised to find that all Oscar winners or actresses have starred in literary films, so they came to a strange conclusion that if you don't act in literary films, you won't get the Oscars at all.

Is this really the case?

If the same opportunity is placed in front of an actor who wants to become famous, one is the protagonist of a pure popcorn production, and the other is the protagonist of a literary film, which one should you choose?

If this person is Carrey, Murphy will try his best to get her to take the former.

If the big production is successful, it is enough to make the protagonist popular and become a second-tier or even higher star, and if the latter is successful, unless he can really get a ticket to the Oscar, he still lacks attention.

But how many films compete for the Oscars each year?

Even if it fails, the big system is still vigorous, causing countless people to discuss; Literary films will only be obscure, as for the starring role, who will pay attention to who he is?

Celebrities need attention! Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair", said that the most appropriate thing for celebrities is to be talked about, and it is better to be talked about than not to be talked about.

Hollywood is a business circle after all, and all the official feature films invested in Zuò here are all directed towards the same target profit!

At the end of the day, those who can bring profits will never lack support, and those who can't will gradually disappear in this circle.

Murphy drove to meet the person who had brought huge benefits to the circle, but now that he has been involved, the future of the other party can only be witnessed by time.

The heavy iron door opened and closed, and looking up at the glare of the sun, Robert Downey Jr. picked up a hat, put it on his head with only short stubble, and carried a slightly worn duffel bag, and walked forward, just across from him, on the side of the road, a black Cadillac, a man in sunglasses, was standing in front of the driver's door.

Despite the sunshine, Robert Downey Jr. instantly recognized who it was.

He sped up on his feet and strode towards that side, "Hey! ”

Murphy took off his glasses, raised his right hand, and beckoned to Robert Downey Jr., "Donnie, this way!" ”

"You're still funny, not like old Robert."

Before I could get over, Robert Downey Jr.'s rambling voice came to the side, "He refused to pick me up as if he hadn't taken drugs." I'll report him when I get back, and I'll make sure he comes in and tastes what it's like to go to jail. ”

He was not polite at all, opened the rear door, put his backpack still on the seat, got into the passenger seat, and saw Murphy pull the car door, urging, "Can you hurry up, Murphy?" I wonder how many years I've been away from the playful world in Los Angeles? I can't wait to go back now, ah......"

He opened his arms, as if intoxicated by his dreams, "How many beautiful women are welcoming my return!" ”

Ignoring Robert Downey Jr., Murphy started the car, drove out of the prison area, and onto the highway to Los Angeles not far away.

"It's still a new car." Robert Downey Jr. woke up from his intoxication and looked curiously at the interior of the car, "Where did you borrow it?" Could it be Rose's? ”

Murphy still ignored him.

Little Robert stared at him with wide eyes, "Don't tell me that it's yours!" ”

Murphy shrugged his shoulders, acquiescing.

"Can you afford a car like this?" Robert Downey Jr. didn't believe Murphy's words at all, "No kidding man, you stick your head out and look, there's a pig flying outside." ”

The two had been together in prison for a long time, and he didn't speak politely, "Hurry up and take a look!" The pigs are flying in the sky! ”

"Have you forgotten?" Murphy looked at the road ahead, "I told you the last time I visited, and I'm a director now. ”

“oh.my.god！” Robert Downey Jr. pointed to the empty sky ahead and exclaimed, "Over there, look over there, there's a cow flying in the sky!" ”

This guy! Murphy felt frustrated.

Robert Downey Jr. is undoubtedly a person who likes to show off very much, when he was in prison, he often showed off his star status, and when he first heard him say that he wanted to become a director, he was even more ridiculous.

Murphy also wants to show off and find some places to come back, and the current effect is ......

"You didn't ask old Robert?" Murphy couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, and Robert Downey Jr., who had come out of prison, was like a monkey back in the jungle, "Didn't pay attention to the news about this?" ”

"You think I'll still believe what you say? How many people did you fool in prison? Robert Downey Jr. smiled disdainfully, "So many beautiful women are waiting for me in Los Angeles, I plan dates every day, where is the time to care about your lies." ”

He readjusted his seat backwards and placed his feet in front of the windshield, "Say it, Murphy." No shame, who are you going to be your little brother now? ”

In prison, he needs shelter, but out of prison, Robert Downey Jr. thinks it's two different things.

"Your feet!"

As soon as Murphy's fingers were raised, Robert Downey Jr. reflexively took his foot off, and when his foot landed on the floor, he reacted, as if he was still a little afraid of this guy......

Little Robert patted his chest lightly, this is not a prison, and it is impossible for this guy Murphy to use those shady methods against him.

"There's a copy of 'The Premiere,'" Murphy said, gesturing to the co-pilot's storage compartment, "you can see it for yourself." ”

"It's so mysterious......" Robert Downey Jr. opened the storage compartment while chattering, and there was indeed a magazine in it, which was still very familiar.

He took it out, flipped through it quickly, and only saw the fourth page, and his expression was incredulous.

"How is this possible?" He almost shouted, "Murphy Stanton's $800,000 film 'Chainsaw' finally pulled out of theaters with $61.89 million at the North American box office!" ”

"Someone with the same name as you?" That was Robert Downey Jr.'s first reaction.

Murphy shook his head.

Robert Downey Jr. closed the magazine, looked at the front cover, then at the back cover, and after flipping through it several times, exclaimed, "You paid for it, right?" ”

"Am I that bored?" Murphy curled the corners of his mouth and sneered, "I'm going to do this stupid thing that you can dismantle in a few hours?" Or do you think I'm stupid? ”

"But......" Robert Downey Jr.'s words were choked in his throat.

The Murphy he knew was insidious and cunning, so ruthless that even Rose was scared, and he was very interesting to his friends, but he was not an idiot who did such a boring thing.

Is it all true? He turned his head slowly, and the doubts in his eyes were turning into shock little by little!

Robert Downey Jr. held out a finger and pointed at Murphy, "The director...... No...... It can't really be you, right? ”

"Do I have to lie to you?" Murphy sped up, "I've told you many times that I'm going to be a director, you just don't believe me." ”

"But you're a paparazzi!" He screamed again.

"I'm a freelance journalist!" Murphy corrected.

What annoys him the most is Robert Downey Jr.'s mouth, which is simply maddening to argue.

"Okay, good, good......" Robert Downey Jr. spread his hands, "even if it's all true, what's my business?" ”

He tilted his head and looked Murphy up and down, "I...... I see! Murphy, you want to show off in front of me, don't you? Well, you've made it! ”

Robert Downey Jr. made a very exaggerated expression, "I'm blown away by you right now!" ”

As he spoke, he stuck his head over.

Murphy reached out and pushed his head back, "Donnie, I'm telling you this, of course I'm on point. (To be continued.) )
