Chapter 628

Police action is very fast, a few people on the beach without exception were controlled up, with a DV camera reporter saw the police put people on the police car, turn off the DV camera, rushed to their car there.

What should be shot has been shot, and the rest is of little value.

Coming to a seven seater business car, the door was pulled from the inside. The black man showed his head and waved, "hurry up!"

The reporter with the DV camera got on the bus and sat next to the black man.

"Drive back to the studio!"

The black man first gave the driver an order. Then he took the DV camera and turned on the screen. After the business car left the road near the sea, he looked up and said, "OK! very nice! Great shot

Several people on the bus were in a good mood, and then they laughed.

"Go back and edit it first." The black man had a plan. "Then I'll contact CAA."

"Isn't it sold to TV stations or video websites?" The reporter with DV asked, "what do you want to do with CAA?"

"Idiot!" The black man curled his fingers and gave him a shudder. "CAA is Murphy Stanton's agency."

Another person immediately understood, can't help holding out a thumb, "the boss wants to sell to Murphy Stanton and the media at the same time, make two money?"

The black man nodded and said to the man, "I'll get in touch with CAA and Murphy Stanton; later you'll get in touch with the station we're working with."

The man nodded, "don't worry, boss, give it to me. Don't worry."

"And more!" "We don't know each other, and the content sold to both sides comes from different people," the black man finally told him

"I understand!"

These people soon got to their rental office and got busy.

In Century City, a black Bentley car rushed to the Death Star building. As soon as the car stopped, the back door was pushed open before the doorman stepped forward. Gail gado, dressed in a dark lady's suit, got out of the car and quickly walked towards the main door of the Death Star building.

With obvious anxiety on her face, she almost reached the fastest step. In just a few minutes, she took the elevator to the top floor of the Death Star building, which belongs to the office floor of CAA partners.

"Miss gado..."

An assistant politely greets Gail gado. Gail gado nods to him and says nothing. He quickly walks to the door of bill rosis' office, raises his hand and knocks twice, then pushes the door directly and walks in.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Murphy sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Seeing that Murphy was safe, she was relieved, and her tight face looked better.

Murphy saw Gail gado, who was in a hurry. She stood up, took her to a seat, poured her a cup of tea, and comforted, "honey, I'm ok."

Gail gado took the cup, took a sip, and looked at Murphy. "I'm sorry now!"

"Well?" Murphy didn't understand her.

"I regret that I didn't try my best to stop you from making that movie!" Gail gado is not joking at all. "I regret to agree that you have religion as part of your plan!"

Her face tightened again. "Murphy..."

"I'm sorry, honey." Murphy went over, bent over, gave her a little hug, and said, "it worries you."

Gail gado shook her head, but she didn't know what to say, what kind of person Murphy was. Of course, she knew very well that she would not change her plan because of this.

"You should be safe in the future." Gail - gado can only take a point helpless to say, "don't let me worry like today, OK?"

Murphy nodded solemnly. "I promise."

He cherished his life very much.

However, this kind of thing doesn't scare him. Many Hollywood directors have faced the storm, but few of them will shrink back.

What's more, if the media reporters publicize it, the benefits to his plan actually far outweigh the disadvantages.

"And bill?"

Gail gado's mind was on Murphy just now, when he realized that the owner of the office was not there. "Why didn't you see him?"

Murphy laughed and said, "I'll ask him to discuss with grace how to make the most of this."

"You..." Gail gado rolled his eyes. "It's a typical way to do things."

"Isn't that good?" Murphy innocently spread his hands, "the bodyguard can't let the rotten egg smash in vain?"

Although it wasn't really rotten eggs that were smashed at that time, the eggs that were used to smash people, in his understanding, were really rotten eggs.

With that, Gail gado thought of business and changed the subject. "By the way, I met Katherine Kennedy this morning.""What does she want from you?" Murphy doesn't have much of a relationship with the people who represent the Jewish forces in Hollywood.

He looked at Gail gado. His girlfriend was a real Jew.

"Try!" Gail gado said seriously, "test your attitude through me."

Murphy frowned. "Does Katherine Kennedy have a project for me?"

Katherine Kennedy is best known as a producer and one of the few female gold medal producers in Hollywood.

"Walt Disney has basically negotiated with George Lucas on the acquisition of Lucas pictures, and the rest are details."

George Lucas is going to sell Lucas film to Disney, which has long been known to everyone in the circle. Gail gado didn't give any explanation and said, "Katherine Kennedy is the new CEO of George Lucas and Disney at the same time. She told me that Disney is ready to restart the Star Wars series, and Disney's senior management intends to invite you to be the director 。”

Walt Disney's acquisition of Lucas pictures is for industrial light and magic, and the other is star wars. Everyone knows that this series will be promoted by Disney again.

"Me?" Murphy shook his head. "Next time you meet Katherine Kennedy, just tell her I'm not interested."

Even if he wanted to make sequels, he wanted to make sequels to his films, not take over the Star Wars series.

Frankly speaking, there are too many sequels in Hollywood. He has not finished his own sequels. Of course, he will not go to other companies to mix them.

However, he is also very clear that the Star Wars series is really easy for a director to succeed.

"Star Wars 7..." Gail gado shook his head and looked at Murphy again. "It's all sequels."

Murphy shrugged. "It's normal."

In CAA's market research department, he has seen such a set of data show that the sequel mode is popular in Hollywood: in 2011, except for his "city of chaos", only "bridesmaids" in the top ten North American box office movies is considered original, and only ranks tenth. The other "Harry Potter" and "Transformers" are basically sequels, even if they are not sequels, they also come from the reform From the top 50 box office in North America, the proportion of sequels and adaptations has risen from less than 10% in 1998 to more than 70% today.

Even Murphy has to admit that Hollywood, which once represented the highest level of film, is now on the road of relying on sequels.

Hollywood has always been a business circle. In this situation, the major companies are always led by the market rather than relying on sequel development.

In order to reduce business risks, when they choose the protagonists, they will give priority to the roles of "Captain America" and "Wolverine", which have already been recognized by the market.

After the initial golden age, the real value of the film industry today does not lie in how much box office the film itself brings, but whether it can provide more opportunities for other fields.

Murphy has a clear understanding of this. Computer games, theme parks and interactive entertainment all belong to this category.

For example, in the past, Walt Disney spent a lot of money to build a Star Wars theme park near Disneyland in California. In order to maintain the popularity of the park, it also needed to continuously supply Star Wars movies.

In fact, as a representative of fan culture, "Star Wars" series has always been famous for its loyal fans and derivative consumption of comics, characters and peripheral products. Since the first film of the series was launched in 1977, the consumption of peripheral products has approached 30 billion US dollars, far exceeding the box office revenue of the series.

Apart from the box office, Hollywood's greater revenue comes from its derivatives.

The door of the office was pushed open. Bill rosis came in in a hurry. Murphy looked at him. Before he could ask how the discussion was going, Bill rosis said, "there's something wrong with Santa Monica."

Murphy and Gail gado stare at him at the same time.

Bill rosis said as succinctly as he could, "the Catholic who attacked you left the commercial square of Santa Monica. I don't know what happened. Daisy from the IMDB discussion group led several fans to stop him, and then he was beaten up!"

"Good fight!" Gail gado blurted out, and then she shrugged, "that's what I think."

"Someone called the police." Bill rosis continued, "Daisy was arrested by the police, and Robert's friend at the station called me."

Murphy stood up, frowned, took a few steps, and said, "well, bill, get to know the details as soon as you can."

Fans, especially Daisy, are easy to get in touch with. Murphy knows this very well and says, "you call Robert again and ask him to bail Daisy out as many people as possible."

"Well." Bill - rosis immediately thought of another layer, "once this kind of news is spread, fans will recognize you more."Just now, Bill Rossi's phone rang. He answered and said a few words, his face suddenly gloomy.

"Daisy, the pictures of them beating people were taken." He hung up and said to Murphy, "they want to talk to us."
