The answer to this question is obvious.
"Kerry, if you choose art movies..." Murphy tried to analyze the pros and cons for her. "That means that there will be no attention for many years. In the next five or ten years, you can only be an actor. Even after the prime time of 35, you will still be an actor."
How many other actresses are really famous in the independent film circle? There are even fewer to be a superstar.
The new generation of acting stars are different from their predecessors. They have become popular in the box office movies and become household names in the United States. They have strong appeal. Then they turn to small literary and art productions with the hope of winning awards, elaborately creating roles and impacting professional awards.
This is Hollywood. Even if the academies despise business, their popularity and business achievements can also become qualifications.
And after becoming famous, they are still qualified to bargain with the film producers and distributors, and can strive for more prize resources for themselves.
Compared with suffering in literary films, waiting for a very small chance is the real road to fame and fortune.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you just want to be an actor.
"I see," Kerry Mulligan nodded. "With enough box office, even if I don't get the prize, I can still be a big hit. Right, Murphy
"You're getting smarter." Murphy pinched her nose, the circle is too chaotic, he also hopes to protect his girlfriend, "my project is aimed at the market, I dare not say that every one can sell, at least enter the theater large-scale screening no problem."
It's much better than those films that can only enter the video market.
"I hate it Kerry Mulligan knocked off Murphy's hand, came up and gave him a kiss on the face. "Then I'll wait for you to make me popular."
Murphy laughs, but sighs at the bottom of his heart. In fact, the black style movies he is good at are not very suitable for female roles.
But he can also make some changes. For example, in the new project, compared with the previous version, he has changed a role for Kerry Mulligan, with only fewer scenes than the male and female protagonists.
"I'll go back first." Kerry Mulligan pushed the door to get out of the car and told him before closing the door, "you drive slower."
Murphy nodded and started the car again.
Once upon a time, a lot of people specialized in the study of Oscar winners and movie queens. Then they were surprised to find that all Oscar winners or movie queens had played in art films, so they came to a strange conclusion that if they didn't play art films, they would not get an Oscar at all.
Is that really the case?
If the same opportunity is placed in front of an actor who wants to become famous, one is the leading role of pure popcorn production, and the other is the leading role of art film, which one should he choose?
If this person is Kerry, Murphy will try every means to let her take over the former.
If the big production is successful, it is enough to make the protagonist popular and become a second-line or even more important star. If the latter is successful, unless it can really get an Oscar ticket, it still lacks attention.
But how many films can compete for the Oscars every year?
Even if it fails, the big production will be vigorous, causing countless people's discussion; the literary film will only be unknown, as for the leading actor, who will pay attention to who he is?
Stars need attention! Tina Brown, the editor in chief of vanity fair, said that it's better to be talked about than not to be talked about.
Hollywood is a business circle after all. All the official feature films invested and produced here point to the same target profit!
After all, those who can bring profits will never lack support, and those who can't will gradually disappear in this circle.
What Murphy drives to meet is the person who once brought huge benefits to this circle, but now that he's involved, the future of the other person can only be witnessed by time.
The heavy iron door opened and closed. Looking up at the dazzling sunshine, Robert Downey, Jr. picked up a hat, put it on his head with short stubble, picked up his slightly worn luggage, and walked forward. Not far from him, on the side of the road, there was a black Cadillac, a man in sunglasses, standing in front of the door of the driver's seat.
Donny's eyes twinkled and he recognized Robert.
He stepped up and strode that way, "Hey!"
Murphy took off his glasses, raised his right hand and waved to little Robert Downey. "Downey, this way!"
"You're funny enough, not like old Robert."
Before he came, Robert Downey's long winded voice came to this side. "He refused to come to pick me up, as if he hadn't taken drugs. I'll report him when I get back, and I'll let him in to have a taste of prison. "
He was not polite at all. He opened the rear door and left his backpack in his seat. He got into the co driver's seat. When he saw Murphy, he opened the door and urged, "can you hurry, Murphy? I don't know how many years I've been away from Los Angeles? I can't wait to go back now, ah... "He opened his arms, as if intoxicated in his dream, "how many beauties are welcoming me back!"
Regardless of little Robert Downey, Murphy started the car, drove out of the prison area, and drove on the highway to Los Angeles not far away.
"It's still a new car." Robert Downey, Jr. wakes up from intoxication and looks curiously at the interior of the car. "Where did you borrow it? Is it rose's? "
Murphy still ignored him.
Little Robert looked at him with wide eyes. "Don't tell me it's yours!"
Murphy shrugged, as if by default.
"Can you afford such a car?" Robert Downey Jr. didn't believe Murphy at all. "Don't be kidding, man. You stick your head out. There's a pig flying outside."
They had been together in prison for a long time, and he said impolitely, "go and have a look! Pigs are flying in the sky
"You forgot?" Murphy looked at the road ahead. "I told you on my last visit that I'm a director now."
“ oh.my.god !” Little Robert Downey pointed to the empty sky ahead and exclaimed, "over there, look over there, there's a cow flying in the sky, too!"
This guy! Murphy had a sense of frustration.
Little Robert Downey is undoubtedly a man who likes to show off. When he was in prison, he always showed off his star status. When he heard that he wanted to be a director, he was even more ironic.
Murphy also wants to show off, find a place to come back, now the effect
"You didn't ask old Robert?" Murphy can't help but look at him, out of prison Robert Downey is like a monkey back in the jungle, "didn't pay attention to the news?"
"You think I'll believe what you say? How many people did you cheat in prison? " Little Robert Downey disdained smile, "so many beautiful women waiting for me in Los Angeles, I plan to date every day, where have time to care about your lies."
he adjusted his seat backwards, raised his feet and put them in front of the windshield. "Say, Murphy. No shame. Who do you want to be a younger brother for now? "
In prison, he needs each other's protection, but out of prison, Robert Downey Jr. thinks it's two different things.
"Your feet!"
As soon as Murphy's finger was raised, Robert Downey Jr. took his foot off like a reflex and dropped it on the floor. Then he realized that he was afraid of this guy
Little Robert patted his chest gently. This is not a prison, and Murphy can't use those insidious means to treat him.
"Here's the premiere," Murphy said, pointing to the co pilot's compartment. "You can watch it for yourself."
"So mysterious..." Robert Downey, Jr. opens the storage compartment as he creaks. There is a magazine in it, which is very familiar.
He took it out, flipped through it quickly, only to see the fourth page, showing an unbelievable expression.
"How is that possible?" He almost cried out, "Murphy Stanton's $800000 movie, the chainsaw thriller, finally pulled out of the theater with $61.89 million in North American box office!"
"Someone has the same name as you?" This is Robert Downey's first reaction.
Murphy shook his head.
Robert Downey, Jr. closed the magazine, looked at the front cover and the back cover, and after going through it several times, cried, "you paid for it, didn't you?"
"Am I so bored?" Murphy 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..." Little Robert Downey's words were in his throat.
Murphy, whom he knew, was insidious and cunning. Even rose was afraid of him. He was interesting to his friends, but he was not a fool who did such boring things.
Is this all true? He turned his head slowly, and the doubt in his eyes was turning into shock little by little!
Robert Downey, Jr. points to Murphy with a finger. "The director No Isn't it really you? "
"Do I have to lie to you?" Murphy sped up. "I've told you many times that I want to be a director. You don't believe me."
"But you are a paparazzi!" He cried again.
"A freelance journalist!" Murphy corrected.
What bothers him most is little Robert Downey's mouth, which makes people crazy.
"Good, good, good..." Little Robert Downey opened his hand. "Even if it's true, what's my business?"
He tilted his head and looked at Murphy up and down. "I got it! Murphy, do you want to show off in front of me? Well, you made it
Little Robert Downey made a very exaggerated expression, "I'm shocked by you now!"
And he put his head out.
Murphy reached out and pushed his head back. "Donny, I'm telling you this. It's business, of course." (to be continued). )
