The iron door outside closed with a bang, and the independent visiting room was quiet again. Murphy took out a box of cigarettes and took one from it. Rose was still in shackles. He simply put it into Rose's mouth, then turned out a lighter from his pocket and helped him light the cigarette. A curl of smoke immediately rose up along Rose's face.
Rose took a deep puff, puffed out smoke, looked at the cigarette and lighter on the table in front of him, and said, "have you learned to smoke? I remember you never smoked. "
"No Murphy shook his head. "That's what Donny asked me to bring you. His collection of top cigarettes."
"Not bad." Rose wrinkled his nose. "It's just a little light."
Murphy stood up and put the cigarette into Rose's clothes. "I've got people through. I'll send you a batch later."
Rose shook his head. "Forget it. You can't get in my hand."
Murphy thought about it, knew it was likely to happen, and didn't insist. She asked, "how are you doing?"
"Very comfortable." Rose stretched a waist, a very comfortable appearance, "you and Donny put those boys to this side, I am now No.1 here, no one dares to provoke me."
In the United States, prison gangs are rampant. Murphy has a personal understanding of this, so he spent a lot of effort to get Ross's men who are scattered in other prisons to the state prison, to ensure that Ross will not suffer very much in it at least. Although Ross used to be a bully here, he is a bit far behind.
"You stay at ease first." Murphy lowered his voice slightly. "I'm getting people to work and try to reduce your sentence as much as possible."
Ross shook his head again. "Don't do this. Even if a felon like me commutes his sentence, he will be 70 years old. He can't keep up with the times. What do you do when you go out?"
"Remember what you said the last time we were in jail together?" Murphy reminded, "you said you were going to be godfather to my child."
"The question is, do you have faith?" Rose said deliberately.
Murphy rather helpless spread out his hand, "I am like you, a believer in Satan."
"Well, I'm not kidding." Rose asked seriously, "even if I want to be the godfather of your child, you have to get married first. Will you get married?"
Although he knows that Murphy has a regular girlfriend, he still clearly remembers that Murphy once called for all the beautiful female stars in Hollywood, but now he has such ability.
"I'm engaged." Murphy said faintly.
Rose asked curiously, "with Gail gado?"
"Well." Murphy nodded. "I haven't had time to tell you about last month."
"Congratulations." Rose hands back and forth in the body a few times, embarrassed to say, "I have nothing, I will not give you a gift."
Murphy leaned back in his chair, clasped his chest in both hands, and said, "I can't do without it. I'm waiting for you to send it to my house in person in the future to make it up."
"You..." Rose shook his head. "Murphy, there are some things. Let it be."
Murphy also shook his head. "If things had gone their way, I would have died in this prison more than a decade ago."
At that time, his character was not as tough as it is now.
Some things, rose can let it go, but Murphy will not, no matter what rose said, he will do, he simply changed the topic.
"Did you get the MP4 that came in?" He asked.
Before Christmas, he let Robert through the relationship, will store a digital version of "Diego - Ross" sent in.
"Well, I saw the movie, and the copy was deleted after I saw it." Rose gave Murphy a thumbs up. "It's a very good shot. It's more than 80 percent real."
Murphy said with a smile, "if only you could approve."
For the sake of dramatic tension, this kind of film adapted from real characters will inevitably undergo certain artistic processing, even though his narration in "Diego Ross" is relatively gentle, which is not the fierce turning point of traditional Hollywood films, but some places have appropriately exaggerated it.
However, as rose said, the whole film is based on Rose's real experience.
"The day before yesterday, the nominations for the new Academy Awards were announced."
Of course, Murphy would tell Ross, "our biography has won ten Oscar nominations, including best actor, best director and best picture."
Hearing this, rose immediately became interested. "Ten nominations?"
Even though he doesn't know Hollywood very well, as a native of Los Angeles, he still knows that ten Oscar nominations are a great thing.
Rose thought for a moment and asked, "what's the chance of winning?"
"It's not difficult to win a technology award." Murphy said frankly, "no one can guarantee the three important awards I just mentioned.""Well." Rose nodded. "Your movie is my last wish."
As he first told Murphy, he didn't want to die in prison in obscurity. Even if he was notorious, he also wanted to let the world know that there was a man named Diego Roth walking through the world.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then the guard's warning came, "time is up!"
Murphy looked at his watch, stood up and said, "Donny and I are working on this film to hit the Oscars. Please wait for our good news."
With that, he turned and walked outside. After leaving the heavily guarded reception area, he joined his bodyguards and left the state prison.
In the next few days, Stanton studio and 20th Century Fox frequently wrote articles in the media, and various reports boasting about the film "Diego Ross" appeared in an endless stream. Probably they really like this slow-paced, long shot and very artistic film. Roger Abbott, who is far away in Chicago, published it through his column in the Chicago Tribune If the Oscars ignore Murphy Stanton and his films this time, it's definitely a big scandal!
The public opinion of the media and the situation created by Catholicism are very favorable for Diego Roth.
As a result, at the weekend of the announcement of the Oscar nomination list, 20th Century Fox once again expanded its screening scale, and the North American screening line of "Diego Ross" more than doubled to nearly 1600.
With the bonus of Oscar nomination aura, the film also performed better than the previous point screening and small-scale screening. During the three days of the weekend, it received more than 19 million US dollars from the North American market, plus the cumulative box office of more than 20 million US dollars, the North American box office of the film smoothly exceeded the production cost line of 35 million US dollars, reaching 41.56 million US dollars!
Oscar and before a series of publicity planning market effect is quite obvious.
Even 20th century fox thinks that if the film can win two of the best actor, best director and best picture awards, the box office in North America can hit the $100 million mark.
Although "the old man" is closer to the deadline of the Academy, the final voting time of "the old man" may be closer to the deadline.
Even though the situation is still favorable for "Diego Ross", Murphy has not relaxed at all. Although the college stipulates that it is no longer allowed to conduct public relations for the judges in this period of time, it does not stipulate that the director or the film should carry out self promotion.
In addition to 20th century fox, CAA and bill Rossi have also developed a series of self promotion plans for Murphy to win the favor and support of the Academy judges, including giving lectures and donations to the North American Film Academy, which is affiliated to the American film society. It has many famous film practitioners and members of the Academy of film arts and Sciences For example, David Lynch, Darren arenovsky, Edward Zwick, Janus Kaminsky and Carl Franklin, etc.
When it comes to the number of well-known filmmakers, the Academy even surpasses the Film Academy of USC.
The so-called public relations is not only about lobbying judges and publicizing in the media, but also in various ways.
Murphy is in a very busy stage. She has to catch up with different announcements every day. Maybe she is still in Los Angeles in the morning to take part in a program recording. In the afternoon, she appears in the promotion activities in New York, and almost completely becomes a flying man.
He knows a truth very well, hard work may not guarantee that the film "Diego - Ross" will win a heavyweight award, and the possibility of winning without hard work is undoubtedly very low.
At the same time, the media on the Internet and fox in the 20th century are still clinging to Catholicism, especially the Catholic who once attacked Murphy in the commercial square of Santa Monica. From time to time, he would jump out and speak from the standpoint of Catholicism. It is difficult for Hollywood people to ignore Catholicism.
In this case, many people in the circle can't help thinking of the Catholic's aggressive attitude towards Hollywood when they mention "Diego Ross"
Catholicism makes people feel disgusted, and by the way, they will have a more or less favorable impression on "Diego Ross". No one can underestimate this perhaps not much favorable impression, which can directly determine the voting choice of a college member.
In less than a week after the announcement of the nomination list of the 84th Academy Awards, "Diego rose" has been in the limelight. It has the momentum of those films that once swept many heavyweight awards in the Oscars, and also attracted many people's attention.
Murphy plans to maintain the popularity of "Diego Ross" until the final voting date.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as "Diego rose" was hot, a pair of wonderful sisters and brothers jumped out and stole a lot of the limelight.
