"That's it?"

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Murphy asked in a low voice. Kerry Mulligan thought, "let's see the price first. It's so big here. It must be very expensive. (see the latest chapter: Literature building) "

the building area of this house is 350 square meters, plus the front and rear courtyards and two garages. The total area is close to 800 square meters, and it is located at the edge of the Santa Monica valley. Whether you buy it or rent it, it is not comparable to the house of Stanton studio.

Kerry Mulligan is still looking around. He seems to be hesitant. The movie "electric saw" only gets a share of 2 million US dollars, and a considerable part of it has been paid. In addition to the expenses of auditions for other theatres and the expenses of daily necessities, there should not be much money left.

She is also a little distressed. Since they were together, the remuneration for the two films has been paid for the tuition of the acting school. For such a long time, Murphy has been paying all kinds of expenses of the two alone.

Although it's not uncommon among Hollywood girlfriends and girlfriends, Kerry Mulligan knows it's not good.

Murphy looks at Kerry Mulligan and waves to the real estate agent standing near the door. It can be seen that of all the houses she has seen, Kerry is most satisfied here.

The other party was a real estate agent specially introduced by CAA's agent grace. Murphy didn't beat around the Bush and said, "this house is OK..."

"Murphy..." Next to her, Kerry Mulligan suddenly spoke. Murphy patted her on the arm and said with a smile, "I'll deal with it."

Kerry Mulligan hesitated, nodded and said nothing.

"Hart," Murphy said, looking at the real estate agent, "if you buy it, how much will it cost."

Generally speaking, Murphy is a director who has just made a big sale in the film. Kevin Hart has a warm smile. "The original price of this house is $2.78 million. I can make my own decision and win $2.6 million for you."

Hearing the price, Murphy frowned and then shook her head.

This house can be rented or sold. If you buy it now, the capital is a problem. Murphy thought, "what about leasing?"

The real estate agent immediately said, "15, 000 dollars a month, a discount for long-term leasing."

"Well," Murphy asked, nodding, "for a year?"

"If you sign a one-year contract." The real estate agent gave the discount appropriately, "the rent for a year is 150000 dollars."

The price is not low either. Murphy negotiated with him about the price, and finally decided to rent for one year at $135000.

When the two sides sign a formal lease, he and Kerry Mulligan can move out of Stanton studio.

Out of the courtyard gate, Murphy got into the driver's seat of Cadillac. After the co pilot Kerry Mulligan tied his seat belt, he started the car and drove away from the valley area slowly.

"What's on your mind?" He turned to look at Kerry Mulligan's baby face.

In recent days, Kerry Mulligan's mood is obviously not very good.

Kerry Mulligan turned around and gave a smile. "No

"Your mood..." Murphy pointed up at her. "It's on your face."

"Is it so obvious?" Kerry Mulligan rubbed his face. "Do I have such a secret?"

She also knew that she was an emotional person.

Murphy shook his head and asked, "are you homesick?"

"Homesick?" Kerry Mulligan snorted, "I don't miss them!"

For her dream, she can cross all obstacles!

"Bill contacted me for several role auditions, but none of them succeeded," she said, slightly drooping her head

As Murphy knows, Kerry Mulligan's audition didn't go as well as she thought.

"Honey." Murphy freezes her right hand and rubs her blonde hair. "The difficulty is only temporary. It doesn't matter if we can't pass the auditions of those cast members. We can continue to make movies together."

Kerry Mulligan shook his head and muttered, "I can't rely on you all the time, can I?"

"Who else do you want to rely on?" Murphy put on a very nervous look, "do I have a rival now?"

"No!" Kerry Mulligan looked up and snorted, "I just think that you can't just play in your movies in the future, and And

"Well?" Murphy gave her a puzzled look.

"And with the exception of fruit candy," Kerry Mulligan was not a cover up, "I'm not a heroine."

Murphy could tell that there was a little dissatisfaction in her words.

"If this new film is approved," Murphy says comfortingly instead of paying attention, "you'll be the second most popular one..."

Kerry Mulligan chuckled."Do you want to be on the screen with one leg?" Murphy shook his head, and his voice became softer and softer. "Honey, this will damage your image, and it won't help your future."

Thinking of the one legged heroine, Kerry Mulligan had a cold war and said, "I don't like that character."

"So..." Murphy added, "the second most popular character is the one for you."

Kerry Mulligan dropped his head again, "but I have to accept physical and movement training..."

After a proper complaint, she said, "Liz told me that if you want to get recognition for acting, if you want to get awards as early as possible, it's better to play in some independent films."

"She's right to say that." Murphy slowed down a little. "Starting with independent films and art films, he honed his acting skills and became an acting school. After gaining a certain reputation, he transformed into the mainstream film circle. When he appeared in commercial blockbusters, he didn't forget art films, and then he won both box office and awards?"

Kerry Mulligan nodded busily, "Yeah, Liz..."

Murphy reaches out his right hand and interrupts Kerry Mulligan. "Honey, if it's someone else, I'll tell her that it's a very orthodox way to develop Hollywood actors, but Kerry, you're my girlfriend. I want to see you happy every day, satisfied, and your dream come true soon."

"I know!" Kerry Mulligan recalled what Murphy had done and said with emotion, "I know you're always thinking about me."

"You know what, Kerry." Murphy turned to look at her. "It's a very confusing way, too."

In fact, a few months ago, when Murphy was considering a new project, Bill rosis warned him that if he didn't want to waste time and make more detours, it was better not to consider artistic films and artistic value, but to put the primary goal on the market and box office.

Murphy used to know something about it. After thinking about it for a long time, he found that many of the things publicized were unreliable.

"I'm not good at art movies."

When he said this, Murphy thought of himself. Generally speaking, most of the people who came from the Academy tend to be literary and artistic, but there are always exceptions. He is an exception. At that time, what he paid most attention to and studied was black movies, which is also a choice of personal interests. A person who does not love movies is often difficult to become an excellent filmmaker, and a person who does not like a movie People who are interested in this kind of film can't really devote themselves to studying this kind of film.

It is true that movies should not be divided into literature and commerce, but with the development of society, the division between literature and Commerce really exists.

Even if Murphy doesn't admit it, the gap between the two will not disappear.

When he chooses movies, of course, he is the type he likes first. Although he doesn't have a booffice mojo in his head, he can't remember the box office figures of every movie, but the box office of the movie he can remember will not be very bad.

First love is always beautiful, even if Murphy can't avoid vulgarity, he wants to help the girl around, help her realize her dream as soon as possible.

"If you choose this way, I can't help you."

Starting from the psychology of a normal man, he doesn't want Kerry Mulligan to take this road. Everyone knows that the independent art circle is almost the most chaotic place in Hollywood, and even can compete with the rock circle, but Murphy won't mention it. "This road seems orthodox, but it's a waste of time. The chance of success is poor."

Kerry Mulligan, who always believed in Murphy, looked at her and waited for a reasonable explanation.

"So to speak, Kerry."

Park the car to the side of the road in front of Stanton studio, and Murphy doesn't get out of the car. "How many actors do you think Hollywood has in our time, who are as talented and pleasing as you? Or a beautiful actress. "

Kerry Mulligan thought, "there are thousands of people, right?"

She has been in acting school for so long, and she is not a little girl without any knowledge.

"No less than ten thousand, I suppose?" Murphy said the conservative figure, "how many movies can Hollywood make every year? How many of them can find characters with lines? Most art films can't enter the cinema market. Even if they enter the cinema market, the scale is very small and it's hard to attract people's attention. "

He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the girl's blonde hair. "Most of the art films that can attract attention are the result of the film's strong propaganda? And the awards you mentioned. There's a whole Pacific Ocean between the awards and the performances in art films and characters. You should have heard bill mention that every year's award season is a feast for public relations. "

Some words don't have to be all said.

Kerry Mulligan nodded gently, knowing that Murphy would not cheat her.

Murphy pointed to Kerry and then to himself, "we're not qualified to join that game."

He continued, "think about it, my dear. There are a lot of independent art films born every year. Only a few single digit films can really attract attention. How low is the probability? Can you meet us? The best art film projects are the tools used by big stars to win awards. How can we compete? ""Art films that focus on the emotions of characters can really hone their acting skills." Murphy shook his head. "But how long does it take to hone in it? Actresses have a short shelf life. Once they get older... "

"Honey." Murphy turned to Kerry Mulligan and said, "do you want to be an actor or a star?" (to be continued). )
