The office was quiet, and Dave Scola walked back and forth, frowning all the time. He was obviously thinking about Carla Firth's words, which of the two projects was more important? One is a super epic with countless hopes, the other is just a second-line superhero
He is full of confidence in his own project, and firmly believes that as long as the project is set up for shooting, it will definitely become a big hit film beyond Gladiator.
In contrast, the script and plan submitted by Carla Firth is only a minor project. Superhero movies don't have enough investment. It's better not to even touch them. Moreover, the scale is so large that it is likely to be R-rated after the movie is finished, which will inevitably lead to the loss of the largest audience of such movies.
What's more, people like Murphy Stanton are suitable for superhero movies? Don't be kidding. A director with such an obvious cut style is definitely a disaster for superhero movies.
In this way, the project of "dead man" may not succeed, and even has a very high probability of failure. Kara Firth is a newcomer in the industry after all, and the help she brings is Murphy Stanton, a niche film director. Do these two people want to get his position together? It's a joke.
As one of the six major Hollywood companies, 20th century fox is not a small company like Fox Searchlight and Miramax. If you want to get a foothold in this kind of company, you have to have super production!
In just a few minutes, Dave Scola made a decision.
"For the development of the company, we don't have to fight each other!" Compared with Carla Firth, Dave Scola is very righteous, "I'll let the dead man project go."
Carla Firth smiles at him. "I'm not going to interfere with your project of the kingdom of heaven."
At this point, there was no need for the negotiation to continue. Dave Scola nodded to Carla Firth, turned and walked out of her office.
When the door of the office was closed, Carla Firth, who was sitting on the boss's chair, took a breath. She tried her best to achieve the present situation. Otherwise, how could the deputy of a department force the principal to be like this?
In any case, she has achieved what she wanted. She has not only got the pass of the dead man, but also may push Dave Scola into the kingdom of heaven.
What is the future of the kingdom of heaven? She believed in Murphy's analysis and her own judgment from a pile of data.
It's not easy for a woman to be a senior executive of six major Hollywood companies. It's even harder for her to go further.
After pressing the phone on her desk, Carla Firth told her secretary not to be disturbed for a while. Then she picked up the phone and dialed Murphy's number. It took a long time for someone to get through.
"It's me, Carla." She complained into the microphone, "what are you doing? So long to answer the phone? "
"I was driving. I was just crossing the road." Murphy's voice rang from the receiver. "I'm on my way to the International Airport."
"The airport?" Carla Firth immediately remembered, "is Gail back?"
"Well, the plane will arrive in an hour."
Hearing this, Carla Firth decided to make a long story short. "I've got good news for you. I've basically got Dave Scola
There's more and more traffic on the road to the airport, Murphy said, "just a moment."
He found a suitable parking place on the side of the road. After parking, he said to his mobile phone, "this is the second good news I've heard in recent days."
"What's the first good news?" Kara Firth's question came from her cell phone.
Murphy shrugged and said, "Gail's back, of course."
Although he has to make phone calls at least three times a day, he is not without worry. Gail gado changed his decision to stay in Israel after he returned.
And I can tell from the phone that Gail gado's mother doesn't really want her to come to Los Angeles to study. Murphy also worries that family resistance will change Gail gado's decision.
On several phone calls, Gail gado obviously hesitated. Murphy even put her on a satellite phone with video function. Fortunately, she finally came back.
"Well, I won't disturb you." Carla Firth's voice rang out again. "It's just the first step to get rid of Dave Scola. I have to convince the top management of the company. There's still a lot of work waiting for me to do."
"Kara," Murphy reminded her, "don't forget to inform bill and CAA."
He is very clear that to get rid of Dave Scola is only to remove the biggest obstacle of the project. Even with the promotion of Carla Firth and CAA, it will take time for the project to really get the pass of 20th century fox.
Like sin city, the copyright of this project is firmly in the hands of 20th century fox. Without the nod of 20th century fox, the project could not be established.
Put away the phone, Murphy starts the car and continues to drive to Los Angeles International Airport.After arriving at the airport, he buttoned the baseball cap on the co pilot's head. He looked at the time and came to the exit. No one noticed him. After the North American publicity of "Sin City" ended, Murphy's surroundings gradually became quiet. The gossip news of those stars was more valuable than his.
After waiting for a while, the mobile phone rings and Murphy takes a look. It's a text message from Gail gado.
"I'm off the plane. I'll be right out."
The airport is very big. It takes time to get here. After a full ten minutes, people come out of the airport one after another. Murphy stands in the front of a group of people picking up the plane and looks inside the airport. When the number of people coming out gradually decreases, he finally sees the familiar figure.
Gail gado, dressed in a light casual dress, with her hair neatly combed behind her head, came with two huge suitcases. When Murphy saw her, she saw Murphy too. She raised a slender arm and waved to this side.
Tall and long legged, she attracted the attention of many people around her, but Gail gado only saw Murphy. When she walked out of the machine, she threw away her luggage cart and almost jumped on Murphy who was waiting here.
Murphy hugged Gail gado tightly and gave her another kiss on the cheek.
"Every day I think of you." Gail gado's face was buried in his chest. "I wish I could fly here."
"Me too." Murphy kisses her white ear again.
Although the flow of people at the exit decreased, it was not a place to talk. Murphy patted her on the back, "let's talk in another place."
"Well." Gail gado nodded gently.
Walking to the railings of the exit, Murphy takes two suitcases from the cart and drags them to the parking lot. Gail gado takes up the rest of his backpack and follows him. His bright eyes never leave Murphy. He seems to want to make up for all the regrets that he hasn't seen him these days.
"You know what? Honey, "Murphy said as she walked," when you called and said that your mother didn't approve of your coming to Los Angeles to study, I was almost scared. I wanted to rush there and get you back from Israel. "
"Why didn't I see that you were in a hurry during the video call?" Gail gado said on purpose.
That's what she said, but thinking of Murphy's anxiety at that time, she still feels very sweet. He really cares about himself.
Murphy pointed to his face. "You don't know. Even if I'm worried, I won't show it."
Gail gado knows that Murphy is not the kind of person who shows his emotions.
"You mean it." Gail gado deliberately put on his face, "it's not in vain that I came to Los Angeles from Israel."
At this time, Murphy pressed the remote control, opened Cadillac's trunk, put two suitcases in, closed them, took Gail gado's backpack and put them on the rear seat. They got on the car respectively. Murphy closed the door and raised the window glass with special film.
Then, he turned his head and looked at Gail gado. Before he could say anything, Gail gado rushed up and seemed to have endured it for a long time.
Murphy felt a pair of slender arms hanging on his neck like iron hoops. He held out his hands and picked up the delicate face with clear lines. He gave her a deep look in her eyes, lowered his head and printed it on the soft red lips. Then he felt Gail gado's fierce response.
Just like all lovers who meet again after a long separation, apart from language and spirit, they also need other ways to express and vent their pent up yearning.
Murphy's hand falls on Gail gado's waist and touches the belt buckle with metal texture. Gail gado's hand has already reached into the hem of his T-shirt
Feel Murphy untie the waist buckle, Gail gado suddenly wake up, this is a parking lot!
She leaned on Murphy's shoulder and took a vicious bite. "Don't be here. Go home quickly!"
This and the pain in his shoulder also reminded Murphy, who drew back his hand and stamped it hard on Gail gado's forehead, "yes."
After simply cleaning up the clothes that Gail gado had crumpled, Murphy started the car, left the parking lot, drove onto the road, and rushed to Santa Monica's home at a much faster speed than before.
After Murphy bought the black Cadillac, it was definitely the first time that it ran so fast. The two people in the car did not speak, but they made frequent eye contact, as if they could see the burning flames among them.
The car finally arrived in the Santa Monica valley area and went directly into the garage connected with the house. While parking, Murphy picked up a remote control and pressed it on the back. The garage door landed slowly. He no longer had any scruples. He unfastened his seat belt, got up and threw Gail gado on the front passenger.
As if it had been waiting too long, Gail gado reached down and began to respond enthusiastically.
The garage became a battlefield. (to be continued). )
