Chapter 57

"You seem to have a lot of experience," Carla Firth laughed. "Have you done that?"

"How is that possible?" Murphy looked innocent. "Am I that kind of person?"

He put on a serious face, but jokingly said, "honey, unless it's you."

"Don't make such a joke." Carla Firth took a sip from her glass and warned, "I'll take it seriously. You won't have time to regret it."

"Cough..." Murphy put his fist on his mouth and coughed. He quickly turned the topic back. "Let's talk about movies. Hollywood has formed a perfect production system up to now. Once it has become a system, it's hard to play outside the rules, just like bad money driving out good money in the market."

With a shrug, he said, "so the car of the protagonist in the car chasing drama can always escape smoothly. The car will either crash or break down. The quarrel between men and women will be interrupted by a slap in the face. After a short silence, the man will hold her tightly and kiss her, and then all the problems will be solved."

Carla Firth disagrees. "Isn't that the way it is in love movies?"

"I swear, it doesn't work," Murphy said, shaking his head and bringing the subject back. "Anyway, this system is Hollywood's money making machine. It's not what I said. The facts are there. "

Holding up the glass, Carla Firth took another sip and suddenly said without warning, "I'm going to New York."

"Well?" Murphy looked up at her, puzzled. "Why?"

This is one of his few friends in Los Angeles.

Perhaps on a completely different road, Murphy can feel that rose is actively alienating him. If Carla Firth leaves, he will become a loner in the city of angels.

"The company suggested that I go for further study." Kara Murphy, a tutor at Columbia University, put down a good hand for me

Murphy raised her glass. "Congratulations."

Although he didn't know about American universities, he knew it was a good thing.

As a woman who is extremely pursuing her career, Kara Firth resolutely set foot on the plane to New York a few days later. After seeing her off, Murphy devoted all her energy to the post production of "fruit candy". Moreover, with more and more work involved, his ability is also improving. As Bill rosis commented, Murphy may lack experience and can learn But the strength is outstanding.

After a few busy weeks, Murphy has been able to complete most of the editing work independently. He can also find the right editing point from the chaotic lens, and finally turn the shooting material into his own image.

In order to finish it as soon as possible, he simply lived in the studio, and spent almost all his days at work except for rest and dinner. Even Kerry Mulligan called several times to ask him out, but he pushed them off.

As Christmas approaches, Murphy and Griffith complete the editing of the film. James Franco and Kerry Mulligan also voice some of the clips, and the post production goes to the end.

Every movie basically needs a soundtrack, and "fruit candy" is no exception. Murphy has no money and no time to find an original soundtrack. He chooses a few tunes that are more suitable for the scene, pays a certain copyright fee, and gets permission to use them. These soundtracks are based on three tunes, one is "the afternoon of missing awakening" when Haley comes on the stage, and the other is "the disco when Jeff wants to shoot a photo for her." Dance music, and popular metal at the end.

It took more than a week for Murphy to find a professional sound editor and work with Jodie Griffith.

On the other hand, Bill rosis also fulfilled his promise to win an opportunity for Murphy to participate in the formal exhibition of the Saint Denis Film Festival. The fruit candy will be exhibited together with many independent film projects participated by CAA.

Bill rosis also sent the film to MPAA through CAA channel. Due to Murphy's careful handling, the film got r grade without accident.

However, Murphy is not stupid enough to think that Bill rosis really attaches importance to him as he said. This opportunity is really very rare for people like him who have no access and qualifications, but it is not difficult for people with resources. After all, the St Denis Film Festival is the most famous independent film festival in the United States, with more than 300 independent films officially shown in each session There are hundreds of feature films. In the end, not to mention those that can be released in cinemas, there are few films that can be turned into videotapes.

For CAA's agents, it doesn't take much effort to operate such an opportunity.

In fact, Murphy is very clear that he is just one of the many fish found by bill rosis and CAA. Whether he can finally land depends on the future development.

There is no difference between entertainment brokerage companies and film production companies in nature. It is their valued customers who can show their value. If they have no value, they will be eliminated.

In any case, getting the invitation letter of Saint Denis Film Festival opened a stage for Murphy to show himself, and also created a rare opportunity.The biggest advantage of participating in the Saint Denis Film Festival is to save Murphy's distribution companies from promoting their own films. Every year, the exhibition of the film festival will attract a large number of professional viewers and buyers from companies. If a film is shown by them, it can even be sold during the festival.

"How irritating

In the lobby of the airport, Kerry Mulligan stood opposite Murphy in his little leather boots and said bitterly, "they want me to go back to London now!"

She said about her parents, "I really want to go to the film festival with you."

"There will be opportunities in the future." Murphy patted her on the arm, looked at the luggage behind her and said, "don't forget to call me when you get to London."

"Well..." Kerry Mulligan nodded his little head hard, gave Paul Wilson a look from behind Murphy, and said pitifully, "I can't see my first movie in the cinema."

"I'll take a picture of the scene and pass it on to you."

At this point, Murphy sighed, "maybe we don't even have an audience."

"No, certainly not." Kerry Mulligan grabbed Murphy's arm and shook it. "You've always been the best! Always... "

There was a broadcast about the London flight in the hall, and Murphy warned, "time's up. It's time for you to go in."

Kerry Mulligan didn't move. He stared at Murphy for a while. "I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you, too."

Hearing Murphy's seemingly sincere words, Kerry Mulligan stepped forward and hugged him. Her lovely baby face was on her chest. "You have to wait for me. I'll be back soon."

Murphy patted her on the back. "Bon voyage."

Seeing off Kerry Mulligan, Murphy and his free assistant Paul Wilson push two large boxes of luggage into another gate and get on the plane to Utah.
