"This is the entertainment channel of the Fox Television Network, and I'm your longtime friend Benjamin Draxler, who is sending you a live report back from the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Standing in front of the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Benjamin Draxler continued to the camera against the backdrop of the theater's main entrance and a poster of the Hollywood Hills falling apart, "Today is November 17th, and Thanksgiving is getting closer and closer, and the choice of "The End of the World" to be released the weekend before Thanksgiving also shows the strong confidence of the filmmakers. ”

There was a cheer from the red carpet, Benjamin Draxler turned his head to look at it, saw that it was not a big star, and continued, "This R-rated sci-fi comedy directed by Seth Rogen and starring all Stanton party members is holding its world premiere in Los Angeles, and we have previously shown you a video of Stanton party members walking on the red carpet, in addition to Murphy Stanton and his cadres, there are also guest stars such as Emma Watson and Rihanna on the scene to help. Separately, News Corp important James Murdoch and his stepmother, Wendy Deng, were also present at the premiere...... The film will be officially released in North America tomorrow. ”

Under Benjamin Draxler's guidance, the camera moves slowly, eventually focusing on the activity area in front of the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

He said with the picture, "At the premiere scene, Seth Rogen, who directed, wrote and acted as a member of the 'Stanton Party', appeared with his new girlfriend Lauren Miller, and Emma Watson, Paul Rudd, Jay Baruchel and other stars who had wonderful spoof performances in the film also came to the scene, and the famous director Murphy Stanton appeared to help. ”

The camera pans from Murphy to Emma Watson.

Benjamin Draxler's voiceover continues, "'Little Witch' Emma Watson's short hair bob style this time, showing a beautiful face is very stunning, and a bandeau pants outfit is also very chic, laughing in front of the camera, sexy and cute......"

"What's even more interesting is ......," Benjamin Draxler added, "that the stars of this film appear in real life, with Emma Watson, Nicolas Cage, Paul Luther, David Kruholtez and pop diva Rihanna all making a spoof appearance." ”

As the journalist named Benjamin Draxler said, the premiere was star-studded, with a star-studded audience in addition to Stanton's henchmen led by Murphy.

Murphy and everyone in the crew stood in front of the sponsor billboard for a group photo, and after the group photo, Emma Watson walked over and said, "Murphy, can we take a picture together?" ”

"Of course." Murphy smiled in response.

Gal Gadot took the initiative to leave the front of the billboard.

Perhaps Murphy's fame is loud enough that getting to know a director can also bring some unexpected benefits, in addition to Emma Watson, Paul Luther, Rihanna and Nicolas Cage also came over to take pictures with Murphy separately.

After taking the photo, Murphy had just left here when he was blocked by several reporters.

"Director Stanton, I'm Benjamin Draxler of Fox Entertainment Channel......"

Because of his affiliation with Twentieth Century Fox, Benjamin Draxler easily took the most favorable position for the interview, and sent the microphone to Murphy, "Can you talk about your performance in the film "Armageddon"? ”

Murphy thought for a moment, and then rehashed the old words, "In this movie, we all have to show different aspects and different aspects of our personalities. That seems crazy enough. At the same time, we also had to make a joke display according to Logan's request. My behavior in the film is completely different from what I am used to, although in this film I play myself. It sounds crazy, but the reality is, this movie is just that crazy. Maybe we'll have a bit of a sense of self-awareness, but in this movie, that awareness doesn't exist at all. Everything is in the service of jokes and stories. ”

Another reporter wanted to ask a question, but Murphy waved his hand, and immediately a security guard came over and separated him from the reporter.

Murphy looked around and didn't see Gal Gadot, she should have gone in first, so she went into the Hollywood Theater with Robert Downey Jr. and Paul Luther, who came over.

The latter is a member of the 'Rotten Boys', and at the invitation of Robert Downey Jr. to participate in this film, Murphy heard Robert Downey Jr. mention that Marvel Studios has confirmed that Paul Luther will be the leading actor in "Ant-Man".

Entering the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, due to the early time, most of the guests are chatting in the front hall, and it is a good place to socialize on occasions like this.

The Stanton hen were naturally the focal point of the antechamber, and Murphy walked over and Gal Gadot was talking to Seth Rogan's female companion.

"Seth, you guy......"

Before he could get closer, Murphy heard Jonah Hill's voice asking, "You have a girlfriend and you didn't even tell us." ”

James Franco also seemed angry, "I'm so disappointed in you!" ”

Seth Logan spread out his hands and was about to say something when Robert Downey Jr. walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Say, Logan, do you want to become Wolverine?" Or do you turn into a phantom cat? ”

Murphy ignored the guys who weren't doing it right and greeted Lauren Miller first.

Lauren Miller shook hands with Murphy and saw that Seth Rogen couldn't open his mouth when he was besieged by Robert Downey Jr., Jonah Hill and James Franco, and quickly stepped forward to relieve his boyfriend.

"Rogan isn't to blame for this." She said with a smile, "We only confirmed our relationship last month, and I asked him not to make it public yet." ”

In fact, Lauren Miller is not a stranger, Murphy and others have known her for a long time, as early as Seth Rogen filmed "The Hangover", she was one of the producers of the crew.

"Lauren Miller is more than just a producer."

Just as Robert Downey Jr. and Lauren Miller were greeting each other, Gal Gadot came up to Murphy and whispered, "Still an actor and screenwriter, and a film she wrote and starred in is being shot by Focus Pictures." ”

Murphy nodded slightly, Lauren Miller was a person he had heard of.

The Stanton party members had their own social networks, and gradually dispersed, and when there was no one else around Murphy, James Murdoch walked over and said hello to Murphy and Gal Gadot.

"How's the post-production of the new film?" James Murdoch asked.

"It's time to put the finishing touches on it." Murphy gave an answer that reassures investors, "It will definitely not delay the December screening." ”

James Murdoch cared more about the other than the obviously less commercial film, asking, "What about the sequel to 'Chaos City'?" When can I start preparing? ”

Murphy thought for a moment and said, "It's April or May next year." ”

James Murdoch thought of Murphy's habits and asked, "Then the summer of 2013 will be released?" ”

"Well...... Murphy doesn't hide it, "I've exchanged opinions with Carla Fez, and the summer of 2013 is off to a good start. ”

Hearing him say this, James Murdoch relieved himself and suddenly changed his words and said, "Murphy, my father likes your film very much, at the end of this year, will he have time to go to New York for the New Year's dinner?" My father has always wanted to see you. ”

Murphy could hear that this was a very sincere invitation, and he pondered for a while, and was just about to answer, when a woman's voice suddenly sounded on the left side of James Murdoch, "If Director Stanton is interested in participating, I can send a private jet to pick you up." ”

James Murdoch turned his head in the direction from which the voice came from and immediately frowned.

At the same time, Murphy's eyes also turned to him, and a dark-haired woman wearing a red sequined deep V evening dress walked over.

She nodded to James Murdoch expressionlessly, and then walked straight to Murphy, put on a smile on her face, and took the initiative to stretch out her right hand, "Hello, Director Stanton, I've wanted to get to know you for a long time, but unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity." ”

Murphy shook her right hand gently, "Hello, Ms. Deng, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"Call me Wendy." Wendy Deng smiled warmly, "That's what my friends call me." ”

James Murdoch said, "I have already prepared the private jet for Murphy, so I won't work Wendy you." ”

Wendy squinted at James Murdoch, "Didn't I remember you weren't flying to London for a hearing recently?" Things in London are very troublesome, I guess you won't be able to deal with it for a while and a half, so let's use my plane. ”

The hidden content of these words may not be understood by others, but Murphy understands that now News Corp's 'wiretapping' incident is becoming more and more intense, and the spearhead is directly aimed at James Murdoch, and several hearings held by the British side have named News Corp to let James Murdoch attend.

"It's just the little things in Britain." James Murdoch's face remained unchanged and continued, "I can do flights to the UK, and private jets are reserved for Murphy. ”

He seems to be using this to convey his importance to Murphy.

"That's fine...... Wendy Deng is obviously not a simple character either, "I'll inform your father and let your father make the decision." ”

As soon as these words came out, James Murdoch's face instantly looked a little bad.

Murphy looked at James Murdoch and then at Wendy Deng and roughly understood.

"Wendy, James......," he said with a smile, "don't bother, I'm not sure about the year-end itinerary yet, if I'm lucky enough to attend News Corp.'s New Year's dinner, I'll just go over it myself." ”

He has no interest in the conflict between James Murdoch and Wendy Deng, and he doesn't want to get involved in the power struggle within News Corp. (To be continued.) )
