The birth of my daughter was so busy that several chapters were confused. Yesterday, I contacted the editor in charge to revise it. The editor in charge took a vacation this week. I'm sorry. Besides, because I can't code, I have almost no manuscript. For the time being, I can only make two shifts every day. Those who sneer at 13 will break even TJ, can accept it.
At the weekend, Murphy set out from the valley on time and soon arrived at the gate of UCLA. Because the school refused foreign vehicles, he parked his car near the school gate and walked towards it.
Originally, Gail gado wanted to come out to pick him up, but he refused. In Murphy's opinion, since she is the vice president of the film club, she will be busy, and it's not very good to leave without permission.
Although she hasn't studied in university here, Murphy thinks it's necessary to have a good relationship with her classmates on either side of the Pacific Ocean.
More than two years ago, Murphy once sent Gail gado here, which has some impression, especially in the dormitory area. However, this celebration party is not in the dormitory area, but in a large restaurant where the school often holds parties.
He hasn't been to the dining area. When he talked to Gail gado on the phone before, he just heard her say that if you go in the door and turn left, go to the first intersection and then turn right, then cross a square and turn left again, you can see the main door of the restaurant. Moreover, the main door of the restaurant is very easy to identify with Party banners.
It's just getting dark. The street lights on the campus are still on. Murphy turns left, right and left according to galgado's directions. She still doesn't see where the restaurant is.
Back on the square, Murphy looked for a slightly higher place, looked around, and still didn't find anything.
"It seems that we are going the wrong way." He realized this at once, turned and walked to his right side. When he just looked around, he saw a young girl coming, like a student from the University of California.
"Excuse me for interrupting." Murphy walked over and asked, "how can I get to restaurant one?"
the girl turned to look at Murphy and said curiously, "you're going to restaurant one"
Murphy nodded her head gently, and her eyes swept over the girl's face at the same time. This is a girl with a certain Nordic look. She has a deep nose and deep eyes, which is very beautiful, with a beautiful blonde hair behind her head It highlights the three-dimensional features.
"I'm going to restaurant one, too."
This is inside the campus, and the girl is not worried. She says, "come with me."
"That's good." Murphy followed him down a slate road. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." The girl turned to smile at him and asked, "you're going to the party over there"
"that's right." Murphy answered as she walked, "you're a member of the Academy Film Club."
"No, I was invited, too." The blonde takes Murphy around a corner and points to the back of a coconut grove. "The restaurant is over there."
Two people separated by a distance, toward the other side, Murphy took the initiative to introduce himself, "I'm Murphy Stanton, Californian."
"Murphy Stanton" girl seems to have heard the name, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly showed a surprised expression, "you can't be the Murphy Stanton in Hollywood"
"as far as I know." Murphy shrugged. "There doesn't seem to be a second one."
Although the blonde girl was not surprised, she also laughed happily, "Oh, oh, oh, I didn't expect to meet a famous Hollywood director here."
Murphy smiles and asks politely, "may I have your name, beautiful lady"
"ah, I'm sorry." The blonde girl, obviously well-educated, rushed to introduce herself, "I'm Elizabeth Holmes, from Palo Alto, California."
"Nice to meet you." Murphy said politely.
Elizabeth Holmes also said, "I'm glad to meet a Hollywood director like you, too."
While talking, they have come to the door of the restaurant.
As soon as she got to the door of the restaurant, Murphy saw Gail gado coming quickly. She seemed to be a little worried, "why did you come so long and not get lost"
"you said it right." Murphy opened his hand and said helplessly, "I'm really lost."
He turned and said, "this is Miss Elizabeth Holmes. She brought me here."
"Thank you." Gail gado said thank you and introduced himself, "I'm Gail gado, a member of the film club. You're mossen's cousin"
"hello." Elizabeth Holmes said with a smile, "I just came to Los Angeles on a business trip and accepted Mosen's invitation."
She pointed inside. "I won't disturb you. I'll go first."
As she walked into the restaurant, Elizabeth Holmes looked back at Murphy.
"Let's go in, too." Gail gado took Murphy's arm and walked into the dining room with him. As he walked, he said, "I told them that you just have to show up and answer a few of their questions in private. Nothing else."
Murphy tilted her head and gave her a kiss. "I'll listen to you tonight."Now that he's here, he certainly won't let Gail gado have any embarrassment.
However, the actual situation was still beyond Murphy's expectation. He just entered the restaurant where the party was held, and he didn't understand what was going on when he heard someone shouting that Murphy was coming. Then the order of the party was completely disordered, and countless people gathered around him. It's hard to say that there would be no chaos if several directors of the film club didn't stop outside.
Murphy had no idea that she was so popular in the University.
It's impossible for him to stay in the restaurant normally. Who knows what's going to happen in the back? What's more, the situation just now makes Gail gado a little angry. The chaos just happened may hurt Murphy. In that case,
when the order is better, Gail gado will not hesitate to pull Murphy into a rest room nearby.
"I knew that." She leaned on the door, as if afraid. "I won't let you come by anything I say."
"Hey, honey, calm down." Murphy went over and took her shoulder. "I've faced more complicated and chaotic situations."
This situation often appears in the publicity after his film is released.
There was an aggressive knock on the door. Gail gado leaned on the door and didn't move. He didn't mean to open the door at all. A boy's voice came from the outside, "Gail, it's me, John, only myself."
Murphy patted galgado on the shoulder, and galgado pouted, which led him aside to open the door.
A brown haired boy came in and apologized, "sorry, director Stanton, we didn't expect this to happen."
"It doesn't matter." After all, this is Gail gado's classmate in the club. Murphy shook his head indifferently. "I like your enthusiasm very much."
The boy scratched his head in embarrassment, "it's all my bad work, director Stanton"
Murphy raised his hand and interrupted him, "call me Murphy."
Although the words are very polite, Murphy is not ready to go to the restaurant to ask for trouble. It's not like when there are special security personnel nearby.
When chatting with the leader of the club named John, Murphy gradually understood that the era of information explosion has come. Most of the directors who hide behind the scenes are no longer unknown before. Some big directors, especially the popular ones, will gradually move to the front of the screen.
In the last century, the kind of publicity films that first consider the actors will change. Some famous directors' films will also have a striking title such as a director's work.
"He's so popular among you"
in the dining room, Elizabeth Holmes looks at the lounge over there and asks her cousin moss, "you're like crazy."
"You haven't seen dead attendants and disappearing lovers." seeing his cousin nodding, moson said with admiration, "a crazy cute, a crazy fascinating, Murphy's style is so unique."
He raised his thumb and said, "among the young directors under 40 years old in Hollywood, Murphy's ability is absolutely the first, and his income is also the first. He is the best object of worship for those of us who dream of making movies"
Elizabeth Holmes automatically ignored the rest of Morson's words, only remembering that "income is also the first"
"absolutely." Because he was a classmate's boyfriend, moson knew something about it and knew a lot about it. He quickly said, "I read from the authoritative media that his early films were all about $4 million in basic film pay plus a certain amount of box office share. It is said that the North American box office share alone was close to $20 million, and he also accounted for four percent of the total investment One third, the box office of this film alone is close to 600 million US dollars. How much money can he get from it "
Elizabeth Holmes is thoughtful when she hears Mosen's words.
"Why, you're interested in him," moson is very gossipy. "You want to pursue him. He has a girlfriend."
"I'm not as boring as you think." Elizabeth Holmes waved her hand. "I'll talk to Murphy Stanton."
Mossen asked curiously, "what are you talking about"
Elizabeth Holmes shook her head and went straight to the rest room without saying a word.
In the lounge, Murphy was very polite to galgado's classmates. "John, if you have any questions, you can come here and ask me, and I won't go out."
"OK, OK," John said, standing up and excited. "I'll tell those guys right now."
Murphy smiles and nods to him. John says goodbye to the two and leaves the lounge.
As soon as he left, the door of the lounge was knocked again from the outside. Gail gado looked at Murphy and stood up to open the door.
"Hi, Gail." A blonde girl smiles and waves her hand. "We meet again."
Galgado naturally remembers her, "Hello, Miss Holmes."
"Call me Liz." Elizabeth Holmes politely asked, "is Murphy in"
"in it" Gail gado, though curious, stepped aside, and Elizabeth Holmes said, "I want to talk to Murphy about something." It's not finished yet.
