Murphy realized that a lot of work was much more difficult than he thought. He had only one person. When he was preparing, he had to do everything by himself. Sometimes he wanted to be separated.
In addition to writing scripts and making corresponding plans, Murphy also spent money to advertise in local newspapers in Los Angeles. There's no need to worry about actors, but all kinds of behind the scenes jobs must be determined as early as possible.
In order to find interns with low price and some abilities, he went to California Academy of Arts and USC film school specially. However, people like him could not get the support of these regular colleges. Murphy could only put up some recruitment posters around the college, hoping that students who are interested in this can take the bait.
In addition, Murphy will go to Delaware with his lawyer Robert, and register Stanton studio as a real company. Although according to the Delaware commercial law, he only needs to have a nominal office in Delaware, and even can share a resident clerk with other companies, it also costs a lot A lot of money.
This money undoubtedly makes Murphy's financial situation more difficult, but it has to be spent. If you want to attract people to work for you, a legal company is more reliable than a single person.
Besides, he is a nobody without any qualifications.
The biggest advantage of registering a commercial company in Delaware is tax preference. It's not as terrible as the tax rate in California. Many Hollywood film companies, such as Disney and paramount, are registered in Delaware.
Delaware also has a professional commercial equity court, and many commercial disputes are relatively easy to handle.
With a formal company, Murphy returned to Los Angeles to improve the script and deal with recruitment issues.
First of all, he needs to find a person who specializes in handling all kinds of chores. This job also has a nice position, which is called crew co-ordination.
This position is very important in the crew, but it's very humble. People with a little higher morale generally disdain to engage in such a position, especially in a small project like Murphy. It's not easy to recruit an experienced person.
To be exact, from the time he advertised to the time when Murphy signed up for Stanton studio, only six people called him. Five of them had never been in the film related industry before. According to Murphy's guess, most of these guys came to Los Angeles to seek the Hollywood dream like him. They wanted to find a related job to support themselves first, and then work hard Look for opportunities again.
Originally, Murphy also wanted to meet these five people. After all, all of them are novices. It's not sure that there will be people with outstanding abilities in them.
But the sixth person's call made him change his mind.
"You can rest assured that we are a professional film studio..."
Standing in front of the studio window, Murphy looks at the dilapidated building outside and confidently says to the mobile phone microphone, "Stanton studio welcomes any aspiring talent."
"So..." Murphy thought about it and said, "do you know the old Chinatown downtown? I'll meet you at the Milton cafe there at two in the afternoon. "
At the appointed meeting time, Murphy hung up and sat back in front of his laptop. Although the caller had not been in Los Angeles for a long time, he had a summer job at Lincoln Art Center in New York. In addition, he had a degree in drama from Juilliard College of Arts, which was much better than his previous five qualifications.
After another busy morning, preserving the script and taking the company's certificate, Murphy went out for a simple lunch and drove to the old Chinatown of Los Angeles.
On the narrow street of old Chinatown, a red haired girl looks at the exotic buildings around her curiously through the window. It's obviously different from the Chinatown in New York, where the most common people are not Chinese, but black and thin Vietnamese.
The girl is driving a red car. Because of the narrow street, the speed is very slow. Her eyes are full of alert when she looks around.
Everyone knows that the law and order in downtown Los Angeles is very poor, especially in places where there are more Vietnamese. It's a synonym for chaos and crime.
"Why did he go to such a place?"
The red haired girl frowned. The sign of Milton cafe in front of her caught her eye. She didn't stop and drove forward for a while. Then she found a suitable parking space on the narrow and crowded road. After parking, she saw that it was still early and sat quietly waiting.
In the previous phone call, the man named Murphy Stanton also explained that since the studio has just been registered and is looking for a suitable office location, it can only meet in such a public place.
A newly established film studio
Before she came to Los Angeles, the red haired girl would not look at such a company. She came from a good family, her parents had a decent job, and she was a top student of Juilliard college. She also had a summer job at Lincoln Art Center. When she returned to Los Angeles during her internship, she thought it was not difficult to find a suitable job.
People like her, who have learned professional acting and drama knowledge, can't help but have a proud heart. Reality has taught her a good lesson. Los Angeles has gathered too many talented people with dreams, and the competition in this circle has far exceeded her expectation.Back in California, the red girl only got three jobs: one was an extras, without any lines as the background board; the other was a temporary assistant for a week, and she was expelled because she made a small mistake; the third was an actor and manager in the community theater, without any salary.
All of these seriously hit the girl's arrogant heart and made her idea more practical. As she had moved out of her home, she didn't want to accept the support from her parents, but wanted to find a job to support herself as soon as possible.
This is also the girl's short-term goal, and she knows that this is the most realistic goal now.
If you can't even achieve the most basic independence, how can you be famous in Hollywood?
After several months of training, this smart girl has learned that experience and qualifications are accumulated step by step. Many Hollywood stars start from humble positions.
Instead of thinking about when she would become a movie heroine in the past, the red haired girl is thinking about how much salary she can get for this job?
After waiting for more than half an hour, the red haired girl pushed the door open, locked the car, and walked towards the Milton cafe.
Murphy arrived at Milton Cafe about 20 minutes in advance. It's not far from where he lives. Recently, he often comes to drink coffee. Sometimes when he's alone in the studio, he brings his laptop and takes this quiet coffee shop as his office.
After asking for a cup of coffee, Murphy sat in the usual corner, thinking about the next work, and looking at the door. When she came in, she had already explained it. If someone came to him, the waiter would bring it immediately.
Giving up his previous job and returning to his dream Hollywood Road, Murphy knows that he has to bear great pressure, and his ideal employees are also people who can bear great work pressure.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a red haired girl came in at the door. She said a few words to the waiter, who took her to this side.
The door is a little away from where Murphy sits. He looks at the red haired girl without any trace.
The other person is about 20 years old, about 5'6 "tall. The most impressive thing is the rare long red hair and the snow like complexion under the western style skirt.
On the whole, except her cheekbones are a little high, her appearance is nothing extraordinary.
Murphy doesn't care. He's looking for someone with the right ability, not a beautiful vase.
"Hi, I'm sorry." Before she got near, the red haired girl was the first to say, "I'm late."
"It doesn't matter." Murphy stood up and reached out his right hand. "Are you Jessica?"
"Yes, I am." The red haired girl took two steps and shook Murphy's hand. Murphy motioned to the opposite seat
When the girl sat down, he returned to his position and introduced himself, "I'm Murphy, Murphy Stanton."
"Hello." The red haired girl was a little nervous, and she could see the alert in her eyes, but she also said, "I'm Jessica, Jessica chastan."
Hearing the name, Murphy looked at her again, with long red hair, white skin, pale blue eyes, and slightly higher cheekbones
It's just too young.
"My studio has just been registered." Murphy didn't have any superfluous expression. He cut directly to the subject, took out a series of documents from the studio and put them on the table in front of the red haired girl. "This is the information of the studio. You can have a look first."
Murphy made these, immediately reduce the red hair girl Jessica eyes of the alert, she took those documents, seriously one by one look up.
When she saw the last one, Murphy said, "my studio is going to make a film. I need to hire some professionals."
In the Los Angeles area, I don't know how many troupes are set up every day. After reading her ID card, the red haired girl confirms the real existence of the studio and asks, "the newspaper says that the troupe co ordinates. Can you tell me what specific work she does?"
From the appearance, it seems that the man opposite is not as old as her. Is such a person capable of making a film?
Jessica chastan has some doubts.
"It's a good job for lucky people..."
Murphy introduced the importance of this chore job in decorative words. Jessica chastan was not stupid and understood what kind of job it was.
If put in a few months ago, arrogant she must turn around and go.
But when she returned to Los Angeles, she encountered many difficulties and moved out of her home. If she wanted to be completely independent, she needed a job with the right salary, which was best connected with the film industry and Hollywood.
In this respect, this job is very suitable for her needs.
Murphy looked at her and said, "I want to know about your previous work and what you've learned from it."
