At Fox Searchlight, watching Tony Guzman send Murphy and Bill Rossis out of the reception room, Godin Clyde asked Riley Fields next to him, "What do you think?"

Riley Fields appeared to be quite cautious. "Although I can't find out the real prices offered by several other companies, as far as I know, their internal trials will give a very high evaluation of "Chain Saw".

The company’s performance is poor, and his head of the market research department is also under tremendous pressure. "I think this film has a clear target audience and accurate market positioning. It is at least a very smart work and has operational value."

Godin Clyde stood up and walked around, "The marketing department makes an estimate report."

"I will finish it as soon as possible." Riley Fields also stood up.

The sun was shining outside, looking at the golden light reflected on the glass of the Fox Building diagonally opposite, Murphy stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, followed Bill Rossis, and walked to the front of the Ford sedan.

Just getting in the car, Bill Rossis answered the phone, hung up within a few words, and then turned to Murphy and said, “The company has information feedback from the company’s channels. The first quarter of Fox Searchlight’s performance was very poor. Fox was quite dissatisfied and put pressure on them two weeks ago."

After Murphy learned the relevant information through Carla Fess, he also notified Bill Rossis. Although he is an ordinary agent of CAA, he can also make appropriate use of the company's resources and channels. Now he has confirmed that Fox Searchlight is indeed facing Some situations that are more favorable to them.

"Continue to keep in touch with the Fox searchlight." Murphy started the car. Today's situation requires not only his hard work, but also the right opportunity. "In addition to Lionsgate, don't break up with other companies."

Even in the face of Harvey Weinstein, he still has a little room for bargaining. Milton Johnson’s toughness was beyond his expectation. The Lions Gate Films’ high-profile guy who had a good social attitude was originally good. In any case, when it comes to business, it's really not at all emotional.

Whether it is the sincerity of the negotiation or the price offered, Lionsgate can only be the last choice.

Send Bill Rossis near the office building where CAA is located. Murphy checked the time, sent a text message, and drove to the valley area of ​​Santa Monica, in a three-story building surrounded by greenery. Stopped in front of the door, lowered the window and looked at the open iron door. Someone had already walked out in twos and threes.

This is a very common acting school in the Los Angeles area, but the reputation of Bill Rossis is very good. Of course, the price is not cheap. The course of less than five months almost completely wiped out the two films of Kerry Mulligan. The pay.

"Aren't you together, Kerry?"

Two girls walked out of a house, the one with long blonde hair, and asked Carrie Mulligan, who was trimming her short hair, as she walked, "Everyone is here for the party tonight, and you are missing. Do you want to let us? pigeon."

"I said I don't have time." Kerry Mulligan looked at the iron gate in front of him frequently, and speeded up the frequency unconsciously under his feet, "My boyfriend is coming to pick me up."

"Could it be your director boyfriend?" There were a few girls behind who were faster. When they passed by, they heard Kerry Mulligan's words, much like a brown-haired girl in the center, turning her head to look at her. Which one was blown to the sky by you?"

There was obvious sarcasm in her words.

Kerry Mulligan turned his head, his eyes sharpened instantly, if it were a knife, there must be a few more transparent holes in the girl's body.

"What do you mean?" Her tone was rather bad.

Soon after they arrived in the acting class, the two had a conflict. They were about the same age, and no one knew what caused each other's dislike.

As soon as Kerry Mullig's words were spoken, the atmosphere on both sides changed in an instant. Except for the brown-haired girl who spoke first, several other people also looked at this side eagerly.

The brown-haired girl lifted up a strand of curly hair, and her sturdy face became more mocking. "What a big director, the production cost of a film directed by is as high as..."

Her voice was sharp and high, as if she was afraid that others would not be able to hear it, "Three hundred thousand dollars!"

The other girls covered their mouths and laughed, as if this kind of thing was embarrassing.

Although they are also from England, the other party doesn't like her, Kerry Mulligan doesn't like each other, and it's not a day for the two to face each other.

Otherwise, the other party will not hear the ridicule afterwards.

Kerry Mulligan kept walking, turning his head and saying, "Three hundred thousand dollars is not much, but in exchange for a North American box office of 1.48 million dollars, the return on investment is as high as five to one."

A group of people walked out of the gate at this time, and Murphy, who was sitting in the car waiting, saw them immediately, got out of the car and greeted them.

"A film that doesn't have more than two hundred theaters," the girl was still saying, "Are you embarrassed to say it's an official feature film?"

What more Carrie Mulligan wanted to say, the blonde woman came out to make a round, "Kayla, just say a few words, don't always target Carrie."

She turned to look at Carey Mulligan again, "Kayla is such a character who says something, don't care too much."

"Liz," Kerry Mulligan seemed to have a good relationship with her, "Don't you think she is too much?"

Murphy just came together in front of the gate with them. Hearing what Kerry Mulligan said, he walked two steps and came to her, looking at the obviously angry face with concern, and asked, " What's wrong, dear."

Carey Mulligan glared at the Kyla fiercely. It was obviously unhappy, but he knew Murphy was very busy recently and didn't want this trivial matter to disturb him, so he squeezed a smile, "It's okay, everything is fine. "

Following Kerry Mulligan’s gaze, the four girls stood together a few feet away, as if they were whispering, the one standing in the center had a tough facial contour quite familiar.

"Hello." The blonde woman looked at Murphy with interest. "Are you Kerry's boyfriend?"

Kerry Mulligan hugged Murphy's arm and answered first, "Liz, he is Murphy."

"Hello." Murphy looked at her, smiled politely, introduced himself, "I am Murphy Stanton."

The blonde woman nodded, "Elizabeth Banks, Kerry’s classmate in acting class, call me Liz."

Kerry Mulligan shook Murphy's arm. "Liz takes care of me very much."

"Nothing..." Elizabeth Banks didn't finish her words, but was interrupted by the girl's voice on the other side. "Kerry, is this your boyfriend?"

She walked to Elizabeth Banks and kept looking at Murphy. The narrowed eyes and the slight irony in them made people feel quite uncomfortable.

Murphy tilted his head and glanced at this familiar face to confirm that he did not recognize the wrong person. Although it was only the first time I met and didn't say anything, it could be seen that this person's personality was really bad.

The opponent's mouth quirked quickly, "Apart from being taller and stronger, there is nothing special."

Kerry Mulligan was like a cat with its tail stomped on. He almost jumped up and wanted to say something, but he glanced at Murphy and swallowed the ugly words.

This girl named Kayla did not mean to give up. This is not the first time the two have faced each other. "You are a good match for a young actor and a young director."

"You..." Kerry Mulligan's cheeks bulged.

"Kayla..."

Elizabeth Banks wanted to make a round, but Keira was anxious and quick to say, "I proudly think that I am a princess, but in fact it is just a sparrow."

Her age is similar to that of Kerry Mulligan, and it is also the stage of agitation. Kerry Mulligan has robbed a lot of the limelight that originally belonged to her. These are always found back, "Put away your poor couple Wings, less show off here in the future."

It's not over yet, she raised her head and raised her pointed chin, "What can you compare to me? I've appeared in a movie with a box office of 900 million dollars, how about you?"

Murphy turned to look at Kerry Mulligan and asked what they were comparing. Kerry Mulligan scratched his blond hair and shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with doubts.

What's the matter with this girl? Murphy has already frowned. Even if Kerry is in conflict with her, he doesn't need to be so reluctant, right?

He knows that many contradictions between women are often unreasonable, but it is really too much to target Kerry.

There were a lot of people watching the excitement around, except for the original few girls, someone came over again, and Murphy could vaguely hear "Kerry and Kayla again", and I probably understood that this Kayla aimed at Kay. Rui didn't just start now.

Elizabeth Banks pulled Kayla's arm, just about to say a few rounds, and suddenly saw Murphy muttering a few words in Carey Mulligan's ear, and Carey's eyebrows curled up.

"What's wrong with me as a young actor?" Kerry Mulligan held Murphy's arm tightly in one hand. "I played a role that belongs to me, not like some people, in a large production of 900 million US dollars at the box office. Give someone a stand-in, you don’t really think of yourself as Queen Amidala, do you? You are just a stand-in for Natalie Portman, we..."

She pointed another finger at the people around her, "Everyone will remember, you..."

The voice slowly rose, "You are just a stand-in for Natalie Portman! This will not change in twenty years!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Murphy pulled Kerry Mulligan, "Let's go."

This kind of thing can make Kerry Mulligan vent, there is no need to let others continue to watch the excitement.

Neither of them looked at the girl named Kayla, and walked directly to the Ford car.

Kyla's face turned pale, her teeth clenched tightly together, but she couldn't say anything, as if she was directly hit by Carrie Mulligan's words.

She breathed twice and looked viciously at the backs of Murphy and Kerry Mulligan.

It wasn't until the Ford started to leave that she exhaled the suffocated breath in her mouth, "Damn little director!"

Obviously, the Carrey Mulligan who is diametrically opposed to her can't think of anything like this, otherwise he would say it the first time he has a conflict, and he won't wait until today. This is clearly the little director in Carrie Mulligan's ears. Bian muttered the result.

In the driving car, Kerry Mulligan approached and kissed Murphy fiercely, "This is a reward!"

Murphy smiled. Just about to say something, the phone rang, and when she answered, her face changed instantly, "What? Bill, is this true?"
