Chapter 514

As soon as he drove out of the manor, Murphy received a call from James Franco. He parked his car on the side of the road and picked up the phone. James Franco's urging voice rang from the receiver.

"Murphy, where are you?" He said in a loud voice, "why haven't you come yet? Do you want to stand me up?"

"Already out of the door." Murphy said calmly, "don't forget, I went to the nominees lunch at noon."

James Franco over there asked, "how many nominations have you got?"

"Nine." Murphy sped up a little. "Best actor, best supporting actor, best director and best picture nominations have all been received."

"Congratulations." James Franco urged, "come here quickly, I'll wait for you."

"Well."

Murphy answered, hung up and drove to the Santa Monica Beach Pier.

He knew that James Franco had planned for today's Secret proposal for a long time, and asked people around him to help keep it from Lily Collins. According to him, he prepared a very special proposal.

Murphy wants to see what kind of tricks this guy can play and accumulate some experience for his future.

Compared with New York, the traffic condition in Los Angeles is much better. Murphy soon arrived at the beach area of Santa Monica and turned to the seaside Avenue built along the coastline.

Into the coastal Avenue, Murphy had to slow down, Santa Monica waterfront area is too many people.

Just like when he first chose to live in Santa Monica, it is warm in winter and cool in summer with convenient transportation. It is not only suitable for enjoying the cool in summer, but also the best choice for those who want to spend a leisurely afternoon.

Murphy's destination is Santa Monica Flower Beach, one of the most famous beaches in Los Angeles, north of Santa Monica wharf. Its coastline is two miles long, seemingly endless.

Due to the slow speed, it took Murphy some time to get to the end of Binhai Avenue, and Santa Monica Beach also appeared in his sight.

However, the parking space here is very tight. It takes Murphy ten minutes just to find a parking space.

Fortunately, it's not summer. In the peak season of summer, there is no parking space.

After parking, Murphy quickly walked towards a jetty, which was first built in 1908 and is the symbol of Santa Monica. Many films and TV plays were filmed here.

for example, in James Cameron's movie Titanic, Jack told Ruth that he would take Ruth to the jetty of Santa Monica to ride on the ferris wheel; in Forrest Gump, the west bank where Forrest Gump runs is here.

James Franco chose the most famous restaurant on the wharf, which is called Bubba Gan.

"Hi, Murphy!"

Just entering the restaurant, Murphy heard James Franco's voice, "this way, we're here."

Today's Bubba Gump restaurant is empty, with only a few guests. Murphy doesn't need to ask. James Franco must have wrapped up the restaurant. Even Murphy, only James Franco and Seth Logan, as well as Susan Downey, who took the place of Robert Downey in the Far East, were present. But in order to thank lily for her kindness, Murphy said that the restaurant was empty- Collins proposed that it would be wise to take care of the restaurant.

In this era of smart phones becoming more and more popular, if there is an outsider present, maybe the relevant images will soon appear on social networking sites.

When it comes to a star like James Franco, whether he is engaged or married, it's not a matter of one person. It's related to his future development and the whole brokerage team behind him. At present, CAA's brokerage team has not formulated relevant public relations publicity, so James Franco does not intend to make this proposal the first to be exposed.

Even the restaurant signed a confidentiality agreement with James Franco.

Murphy came to a big table near the window, where everyone was sitting and whispering. He opened a chair and sat between Seth Logan and Susan Downey. Looking at James Franco opposite, he asked, "how are you getting ready?"

James Franco squeezed his eyes. "It's all ready."

Then he pointed to a storage room in the dining room. Next to it, Dave Franco said, "when James proposes, I'll come out of the storage room with big surprises and give them to Lily."

Murphy was curious and asked, "what kind of surprise?"

Dave Franco shook his head. "It's a secret. No one will know until the final truth is revealed!"

Murphy looks back at Seth Logan and Susan Downey, both of whom shake their heads at the same time. It's not clear what surprise the Franco brothers are preparing.

"Are you going to study?" Susan Downey suddenly winked at Murphy. "Someone's been waiting for your proposal.""Soon." Murphy shrugged and said with a smile, "always look for the right opportunity."

The people sitting at the table knew the meaning of these two words, and they could not help laughing at the same time.

Because James Franco is going to propose, the party time for telling Lily Collins has been pushed back. Murphy and other people are chatting and waiting, occasionally enjoying the scenery of Santa Monica beach outside the window, but they don't feel bored.

Murphy specially attended the meeting. Because of the weekend, there are a lot of people on the jetty and beach. Every holiday, there are small concerts and dances, which have a unique style.

Especially at dusk when the sun sets, this kind of artistic conception gives people another unique feeling.

"Here comes the juice

A waiter brought a cup of orange juice, and Dave Franco reminded James Franco, "juice is coming."

James Franco waved his hand to the waiter. After the waiter left quickly, he took out a jewelry box that was obviously a ring from his pocket.

"Oh, proposal rings are ready!" Seth Logan held his glasses and said, "Jim, open them quickly. Let's see how big the diamond on the ring is."

Murphy asked with concern, "don't you just give the ring to Lily?"

Susan Downey shook her head. "That's too old-fashioned."

"Of course not!" James Franco opened the box and took out the small diamond ring. "I'll do it in a very special way."

The ring is very small. Murphy vaguely remembers that Lily Collins has very thin fingers, which must be specially made by James Franco.

"What's the special way?" Seth Logan is still curious.

James Franco smiles, picks up the glass of juice in front of the empty seat next to him, and then throws the ring into the glass. The orange juice completely covers the ring. If you look from the outside, you can't see any abnormality in this glass of juice.

"Think about it, you guys." James - Franco some complacent, "lily drink juice, drink a ring, will be a surprise?"? And then I propose, isn't it very romantic? "

Susan Downey was the first to nod. "It's more creative than Robert Downey Jr. giving the ring directly."

Then she turned to Murphy and said, "such a special proposal will certainly succeed."

Murphy smiles. It seems that this kind of pattern was not created by James Franco. I vaguely remember that a star who forgot his name proposed to his model girlfriend.

Anyway, it's more creative than just taking out the ring, and James Franco really wants to surprise Lily Collins.

Putting the ring away, James Franco said to Susan Downey, "call lily for me and ask where she is."

Susan Downey took out her cell phone, dialed Lily Collins's number, said a few words, hung up, and said to James Franco, "I've already turned to the seaside Avenue. It's estimated that I'll be there in ten minutes."

James - Franco breathed, it seems that such a wait for him a little nervous.

Murphy takes a look at James Franco and deliberately digs away from the topic, so that Lily Collins will not be surprised by the strange performance of James Franco.

"Seth," Murphy asked the fat man next to him, "how's your script going?"

The last time Seth Logan mentioned the concept of combining thriller with comedy, he temporarily gave up his work as an actor and devoted himself to the project. After constantly overturning the idea, he finally reached the stage of script writing.

"The outline is almost finished." Seth Logan scratched his head. "But I don't think it's right. I'm still adding."

Murphy nodded. "I can't help much. You can talk to Jonah when he comes back."

Seth Logan sighed. "He's come up with some ideas. They're not very reliable."

"It's OK to write a script and ask Jonah to put some jokes in it." James - Franco shook his head, "help or forget, let him give advice, zenith people will appear."

"That..." Seth Logan thought for a moment, "one of Jonah's ideas is OK, let the earth become hell, good people automatically go to heaven, bad people all stay on the earth to suffer."

Dave Franco opened his mouth. "So we're all going to stay on earth?"

Murphy shrugged and said, "everybody in Hollywood, stay in the area."

When the door of the restaurant was pushed open, Lily Collins, dressed in casual clothes, strode in. As she walked this way, she said with a smile, "Hello, everyone. Why are you here so early today?"

With that, she walked quickly around the empty seat next to James Franco. (to be continued). )
