As night falls, Robert Downey's mansion in Beverly Hills is full of lights. The huge garden in the backyard is full of guests. Bottles of champagne are sent to the rectangular swimming pool, which is the center of the reception. Then they are poured into the glass by the waiter and sent to every corner of the garden.
It's a celebration party for Robert Downey Jr. to win Tony Stark, the hero of iron man, for eight million dollars.
Friends like Murphy will not be absent. After congratulating little Robert Downey, they will not be polite. James Franco and Lily Collins are hiding in the corner whispering. Seth Logan and Jonah hill are sitting at a small round table by the pool, busy discussing the new film.
On the contrary, Murphy, who came alone, had nothing to do for a while, so he pulled a chair and sat at another empty table next to Seth Logan, listening to him and Jonah hill talking about the preparations for the new film.
However, Murphy didn't take part in the opinions casually. Since he chose Seth Logan as the director, he will give the other party enough trust. Unless there is a serious mistake, he won't intervene easily. Moreover, Seth Logan's proposal also makes him quite satisfied.
This fat man from Canada seems to be honest and funny, but in fact he is a very responsible and talented person.
Robert Downey Jr. is the absolute protagonist tonight, surrounded by a lot of people. Murphy also saw Marvel's avi Allard, Marvel's Kevin Fitch, and Stan Lee wearing the iconic sunglasses.
Because of the previous relationship, his relationship with surprise is not good, or even contradictory. Murphy has no intention to say hello to those people. This is a party hosted by little Robert Downey at home. If there is anything unpleasant between the two sides, it will only make little Robert Downey look ugly.
"Hi, Murphy."
A tall blonde suddenly came up to say hello, a familiar look, "always want to know you, but Donny didn't have time to introduce, so I had to recommend myself."
"Can be approached by Gwyneth Paltrow..." Seeing the heroine who is going to play with Robert Downey Jr., Murphy stands up and shakes her hand. "I'm sure all the men here will be jealous."
Gwyneth Paltrow closed her mouth and chuckled a few times. "I hear you have a very good relationship with Downey?"
Murphy shrugged. "We're good friends."
They are not familiar with each other. Gwyneth Paltrow just came here to get to know Murphy. In the future, we can't say when we will use each other. The relationship network is woven little by little, not made up casually.
"To be a director of a film with an investment of 200 million dollars is something to celebrate." Gwyneth Paltrow is pretty good at saying, "when you have a celebration party, don't forget to invite me."
"Certainly not." Murphy said with a smile, "congratulations on getting the heroine."
"Forget about the heroine." Gwyneth Paltrow seemed dissatisfied and could not hide her disappointment. "Seeing Donnie's pay and my own, I'm going to cry in despair. Donnie's pay is five times as much as mine. Marvel pictures is too unfair."
To her surprise, Murphy just laughed, but didn't answer.
There is a huge difference between men's and women's film pay, which is the norm in the industry. For actors with the same fame and appeal, the film pay of male stars is often twice that of female stars.
As for Gwyneth Paltrow's film salary is so much lower than that of Robert Downey Jr., it's also a true reflection of the market appeal. Although she is an Oscar winner, she doesn't have any box office blockbuster works. In recent years, she can only maintain her exposure by brushing the fashion style.
After a few words of conversation, Gwyneth Paltrow politely said goodbye, looking for the next person who could become a network.
This kind of party with a little formal atmosphere, communication is the theme that will never change.
Murphy sat back at the table, ordered three glasses of champagne, and asked the waiter to deliver two of them directly to Seth Logan and Jonah hill. He looked around bored.
In the whole garden, the most active person is the host of Robert Downey Jr., followed by Gwyneth Paltrow, the heroine of the film. The former activist Jonah hill has no time to play around at the party, and James Franco is also entangled by lily Collins
These stantons are relatively quiet. On the contrary, Meryl Streep, who is said to be a guest star of Tony Stark's mother in the film, is different from what Murphy thinks and the good wife and good mother described in the media. She talks with many male stars at the party and can be called a good friend.
"Why?" Seth Logan and Jonah Hill turned to his table. The latter followed Murphy's eyes, looked at Meryl Streep and joked, "it's so strong. Do you like her?"
Murphy looked back and took a sip of the champagne. "Am I so bored?"
"You're really bored." Jonah Hill seems to have used all the words he saved all night. "Meryl Streep is not boring. Although she is old, she is said to have no appetite at all...""What?" Murphy didn't quite understand.
Seeing Murphy's puzzled face, Jonah Hill said mysteriously, "don't you know? Her gossip is flying around Hollywood. "
Murphy shakes her head. She has never heard of Meryl Streep's gossip. She has always been a good wife and mother.
Seeing that Murphy really didn't know, Jonah Hill coughed twice, and then said, "it's said that when Meryl slim and Jack Nicholson cooperated, they used to openly drive cars in the crew..."
Murphy thought it was something, shrugged, and didn't bother to talk to Jonah hill.
Opposite the swimming pool, there are also some small round tables for guests to rest. Beside one of the round tables, there are two people, a man and a woman. The woman is young and beautiful. She seems to be either a model or an actor. The man in suit and shoes is an entertainment agent.
From time to time, the two men's eyes swept over Murphy's table.
"That's Murphy Stanton." The agent reminded the young woman opposite, "Amy, Lois Lane's audition will be held next week, he is the key..."
Looking over there, Amy Adams gently nodded her head, and Murphy Stanton, who had the right to choose the role, totally rejected her.
"Want to get the role." The agent added, "you have to impress him first."
Now Amy Adams is not in the future. She can only play some minor supporting roles, such as the heroine in this kind of big production. She doesn't even have to think about it. She won the support of an executive director of Warner Brothers and passed the news to Murphy Stanton. She didn't get any commitment about the role. As a result, she even had an audition I didn't get a chance.
After paying so much, Amy Adams didn't want to give up easily. He negotiated with his agent and appeared at the Party of little Robert Downey.
It's not easy to impress a director, and it's even harder to get a director's approval. Amy Adams knows very well that at the level of Murphy Stanton, she can't solve it by taking off her clothes. For a director like this, as long as she wants or has similar ideas, what kind of actress is there?
If you want to impress Murphy Stanton, the first choice is to attract his eyes and attention. If the other person doesn't even look at himself, no matter how much he does, it's useless.
"Go ahead, Amy." The agent encouraged her, "come up with the best of you."
Amy Adams stood up, across the 20 foot wide pool, and looked at Murphy again. He was talking to two fat men, not looking at them at all.
She and Murphy Stanton are separated by a swimming pool!
Looking down at the pool, the water was clear, about three and a half feet deep
How can we make a director with great personality pay attention to it? Amy Adams believes that if she said hello in the past, she would be treated politely, just like Gwyneth Paltrow. In fact, it represents politeness and distance.
She had to make Murphy Stanton remember her!
Without hesitation, Amy Adams kicked off her high heels and jumped into the swimming pool with a plop in the agent's surprised eyes.
The clear sound of falling into the water instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
"Wow..." Seth Logan, who was facing the pool, said, "a beautiful woman fell into the water."
Murphy turned to see. In the swimming pool opposite, a blonde just stood up from the water. Her long hair was completely wet by the water. Her light colored dress had been soaked through. Under the bright light, she could see the skin inside, especially the chest. There was probably no chest sticking. The two protruding points were very obvious.
"What is she going to do?" Jonah - Hill found that the woman seems to be looking at his side, deliberately pointed to his nose, "will be in love with me."
"She'll take a fancy to you pig?" Seth - Logan mercilessly sarcastic, "do you think she is also a pig?"
Jonah Hill didn't mind. He pointed across the pool and said, "look, she's coming to us."
There was a lot of discussion around the swimming pool, and most people gathered around to watch the good play.
"What's the situation?" When Robert Downey heard about it, he took a few steps to the pool and looked inside. He shook his head. Susan Downey next to him sighed and whispered, "a little actor for Murphy."
In the swimming pool, Amy Adams wiped the water on her face and saw the opposite Murphy looking at herself. Without hesitation, she moved her steps and waded into the chest deep water. Under the gaze of countless people, she walked toward the opposite side with difficulty. (to be continued). )
