Chapter 234

Leaving the city center, Murphy takes a taxi to Century City and goes directly to the Death Star Building of CAA headquarters. In a reception room, he finds bill rosis and grace who are waiting for him.

"Is the message reliable?" Bill rosis asked first.

"Very reliable, from my friends downtown." Murphy sat back on the sofa, frowning. "Who would hire a private detective to investigate me?"

"Newspapers and the media have paparazzi to provide information," grace is also thinking, "there is no need to find a private detective. Murphy has no family in North America and can't be a relative who wants to share assets. "

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of a person, while Murphy did not pay attention, Bill rosis made a few mouth shape, Bill rosis saw, directly shook his head, Kerry Mulligan is very rebellious, but the mind is simple, not so complicated mind.

The three couldn't think of an answer for a moment.

"It's up to me and the company." Bill - rossis finally told Murphy, "as long as you do yourself, do not mess."

Murphy said that the friend who provided information, he can guess who it is. Now Murphy is a well-known director, so he can't get involved with this kind of person too much.

"Don't worry," Murphy stood up. "I know what to do and what not to do."

He was ready to leave, but grace stopped him.

"Murphy, here's the ticket to miss universe," she said, opening her bag and handing over a small paper bag. "If you're serious, if you want to have a long relationship with that Israeli girl, let her stay in Los Angeles as much as possible."

Murphy took the bag and stuffed it into his pocket. "I know what to do."

He really wants Gail gado to stay in Los Angeles.

"Oh, and." Grace added, "the mailroom has received a large number of letters from your fans, which have been passed on to me. You have never answered them in person. If you have time, you'd better go and have a look."

Bill rossis also said, "although you're a director, you can't ignore the support of your fans."

"Well," Murphy said to grace, simply sitting down again, "ray, can you pick up some now?"

Grace stood up immediately. "Just a moment."

Although Murphy said to take some, grace came back with a big bag full of letters from fans to Murphy in CAA's public mailbox.

"So much?" Murphy opened the bag and saw the pile of letters in it. "You won't let me reply next to you, will you?"

He did not expect that a director could receive so many letters from fans.

Grace had already found a pen and a piece of writing paper. "Just pick some back."

Murphy took out a few letters from the bag and opened them one by one. The contents of the letters were all kinds of things.

Some fans thank him for making such a wonderful cut film and encourage him to continue in the future; some fans ask him what type of his next work is and whether she can let it out in advance; some female fans think he is very handsome and ask if she can consider looking for her as a girlfriend. In the letter, there are photos that I don't know how many times he has made; and some fans scold him that his past films are rubbish and will only be treated as rubbish Blood to attract people

The most outrageous is a female fan named Daisy, who wants to discuss with him some abnormal ways of killing people.

This letter was first thrown aside by Murphy, and he did not intend to reply to this kind of inexplicable letter.

After browsing more than 30 randomly selected letters, Murphy selected 10 reliable ones and wrote short replies one by one. Although the contents of the replies are different, the core meaning is nothing more than thank you very much for your letter and support. In the future, we will make more excellent and satisfactory films.

It didn't take long for Murphy to get ten replies, give them to grace, and say, "do the rest."

He didn't pay attention to this kind of thing, for example, the big stars in Hollywood often have special personnel in charge of this aspect.

After leaving the Death Star Building and getting into the taxi waiting outside, Murphy took out the small paper bag and opened it. There were more than ten tickets for Miss Universe. Grace obviously spent a lot of money.

With so many tickets, Murphy doesn't know who to give. The other four guys, who are known as Stanton party followers by the media, have gone to overseas markets for publicity. The rest of the crew are on vacation, and few of them are in Los Angeles. These tickets can't be given out at all.

Grace got the first class ticket. It's a pity to waste it.

After thinking for a while, Murphy dialed Kara Firth's number. "Where is it? Century City

"In the company." Kara Firth's crisp voice rang from the receiver, "are you in Century City, too?"

Murphy motioned to the driver to wait. "I just came out of the Death Star building. I have something for you."

There was a moment's silence on the phone, and another voice said, "well, if it's convenient for you, come to Fox building. I'll see you in the coffee shop on the second floor in 15 minutes.""OK, I'll see you later." When he hung up, Murphy said to the driver, "go to the fox building."

Nowadays, there are no large film companies in Hollywood except Paramount Pictures. Most of the large and medium-sized Hollywood production companies are concentrated in Burbank. However, in the 20th century, fox did not move there. Instead, it moved its headquarters to Century City on the west side of Beverly Hills, occupying a whole building.

Arriving at the coffee shop on the second floor, Murphy waited for a few minutes. Carla Firth, dressed in a professional suit, came over and directly opened his chair and sat opposite Murphy.

"What good things have you brought?" Carla Firth asked.

Murphy pulled out a ticket and pushed the paper bag to Carla Firth. "The Miss Universe contest will start in a few days. Here's the ticket."

Carla Firth is not polite. She picked it up and took a look at it. "Just in time, I can give it away to buy people's hearts and cheer on your girlfriend by the way"

"work is not going well?" Murphy immediately realized this. "A lot of difficulties?"

"A woman, new to a position, is still faced with some old qualifications," Carla Firth obviously encountered many difficulties, frowning slightly, "and the director covetous, want to go smoothly have no way."

"Are you afraid of them?" Murphy was just laughing, "I believe in your ability and means."

Carla Firth shook her head. "This position is different from before. If you want to establish authority, you must have real achievements. The achievements of film production are not evaluated from many aspects like the news. It's very intuitive. Without successful projects and box office in hand, new people like me will naturally be rejected."

Compared with the previous journalism industry, the standard of film production is more simple and direct.

Murphy knew that, too, and asked, "how's the project you're working on? The one where aliens and iron warriors come together. "

"It's not going very well. There are some obstacles in the Department." Carla Firth never let go of her brow. "I just found the director, Paul Anderson who directed biochemical crisis. Someone recommended him to me. What do you think?"

"I don't know him very well. I just saw biochemical crisis directed by him." Murphy recalled it well and said, "as long as the future film has the rhythm of biochemical crisis and the appeal of alien and iron soldier, it is likely to achieve good results."

"Actually, my favorite director is you," Carla Firth sighed. "It's a pity you're not interested."

Murphy laughed. "If I have the right project, how about investing with you?"

"Don't you work with Miramax?" Carla Firth asked in surprise.

Murphy shook his head and said, "haven't you heard that the conflict between the Weinstein brothers and Disney Chairman Michael Eisner is irreconcilable? At this time, working with Miramax will only get into the whirlpool of Disney's internal disputes. "

"Have you found the right project?" Carla Firth asked again.

"I'm interested in Marvel and DC's superheroes." Murphy rather helpless said, "but marvel does not look at me, DC Comics I have not contacted, estimated that there is no better."

"Don't you think about the X-Men?" Carla Firth immediately remembered the power she was fighting for. "Didn't you tell me that you could split the X-Men and make some independent films?"

Murphy raised her eyebrows. "Do you have such power now?"

"There's always a way to fight for it." Carla Firth deliberately said, "do you want me to make you a list of the roles of X-Men?"

"I'd better go and see for myself some time." Murphy thought about it and said, "wait till I get in touch with DC Comics, OK?"

Although the North American box office of crime city is growing slowly and the number of theaters has been cut down to less than 1500, the box office of crime city in North America has successfully broken through the $80 million mark and gradually moved towards $85 million. The overseas box office has also exceeded $25 million after continuing to expand regional screening, thus pushing the global box office over the $100 million mark.

Among the three films directed recently, two of them have a global box office of more than 100 million US dollars, which can become the capital for Murphy to negotiate with DC Comics and make his words more convincing.

It's too hard to impress Hollywood studios that don't get up early.

Of course, Murphy is very clear that in addition to capital, he also needs a plan and a project book to be convincing.

And he's not buying the copyright, as long as he gets the project lead.

If it goes well, Carla fiss can also be included in the project. The cooperation of big companies in Hollywood is also normal. As long as it is successful, she can also accumulate capital.

Listening to Murphy's simple talk about her plan, Carla Firth said with a smile, "then I'll wait for your good news."

She stood up, ready to go back to the company, Murphy reminded, "don't forget to let your friends work as a support group for Gail." (to be continued). )
