The answer to this question is obvious.

"Kerry, if you choose a literary film..." Murphy tried his best to analyze the pros and cons for her. "That means that no one will pay attention for many years. In the next five or ten years, you can only be an actor, even after thirty. After prime time at the age of five, you are still an actor."

Hollywood is not what it used to be, and how many other actresses have truly become famous from independent film circles? Even fewer have become superstars.

The new generation of acting stars have taken a different path from their predecessors. They have become popular in films that have hit the box office and become well-known figures in the United States. They have super appealing power, and then they are transferred to the literature and art with the hope of winning prizes. In the small production, the characters are carefully created to hit the professional awards.

This is Hollywood. Even if the academics despise business, their popularity and commercial achievements can also become qualifications.

Moreover, after becoming famous, he is also eligible to bargain with film producers and distributors, so that he can win more prize-winning resources for himself.

Compared with suffering in literary and artistic films, waiting for an extremely small chance, this is the real road to fame and fortune.

Of course, if you just want to be an actor, it doesn't matter.

"I see," Kerry Mulligan nodded, "With enough box office, even if I don't get the prize, I can still be popular. Right, Murphy."

"You are getting smarter." Murphy squeezed her nose. The circle is too chaotic. He also hopes to protect his girlfriend. "My project is aimed at the market. I dare not say that every one can be big. Sell, at least enter the theaters for large-scale screenings."

This is much better than those films that can only enter the video tape market.

"Hate!" Kerry Mulligan knocked out Murphy's hand, leaned in and kissed him lightly on his cheek, "Then I will wait for you to make me red."

Murphy laughed, but sighed from the bottom of his heart. The noir style movies he was good at were actually not very suitable for female characters.

But he can also make some changes. For example, in the new project, compared to the previous version, he changed a role specifically for Kerry Mulligan, and the role was only less than the male and female protagonists.

"I'm going back first." Kerry Mulligan pushed the door and got out of the car, and exclaimed before closing the door, "You drive slowly."

Murphy nodded and started the car again.

There was a time when many people had studied the Oscars and actresses, and they were surprised to find that all Oscars or actresses had appeared in literary and artistic films, so they came to a strange conclusion. Can't get an Oscar.

Is this really the case?

If the same opportunity is placed in front of an actor who wants to become famous, one is the protagonist of a pure popcorn production, and the other is the protagonist of a literary film, which one should he choose?

If this person is Kerry, Murphy will do everything possible to get her to take over the former.

If the big production is successful, it is enough to make the protagonist become popular and become a second-line or even higher position star. If the latter is successful, unless he can really get an Oscar ticket, he still lacks attention.

But how many films can compete for Oscars each year?

Even if it fails, the big production will be vigorous, triggering discussions among countless people; the literary film will only be obscured. As for the leading role, who will pay attention to who he is?

Stars need attention! The words of Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair", are most suitable for celebrities-it is better to be discussed than no one.

Hollywood is a business circle after all. All the official feature films invested and produced here all point to the same goal-profit!

After all, those who can bring profit will never lack support, and those who cannot bring will gradually disappear from this circle.

Murphy drove to meet the people who had brought huge benefits to this circle, but now he has a kick, and the future of the other party can only be witnessed by time.

The heavy iron door opened and closed, looking up at the dazzling sunlight, Robert Downey Jr. picked up a hat and put it on his head with only short stubble. He carried a slightly worn luggage bag and walked forward. , On the side of the road not far from him, parked a black Cadillac, a man wearing sunglasses, was standing in front of the driver's door.

Although the sun was dazzling, Robert Downey Jr. recognized who it was at a glance.

He quickened his feet and strode over there, "Hey!"

Murphy took off his glasses, raised his right hand, and beckoned to Robert Downey Jr., "Downey, this way!"

"It's still interesting for you, not like the old Robert."

Before coming over, Robert Downey Jr.’s long-winded voice reached this side, “He refused to come and pick me up, as if he had never taken drugs. I’ll report him when I go back and be sure to let him in. Taste what it's like to go to jail."

He was not at all polite. He opened the rear door and left the backpack on the seat. He got into the co-pilot seat. He opened the car door when he saw Murphy and urged, "Can you hurry up, Murphy? I don't know. Have you been away from that colorful world in Los Angeles for a few years? I can’t wait to go back now, ah..."

He opened his arms and seemed to be intoxicated in his dreams, "How many beautiful women are welcoming my return!"

Regardless of Robert Downey Jr., Murphy started the car, drove out of the prison area, and drove onto the highway not far away to Los Angeles.

"This is still a new car." Robert Downey Jr. woke up from his intoxication and looked at the interior of the car curiously. "I borrowed it from there? Is it Rose's?"

Murphy still ignored him.

Little Robert stared at him, "Don't tell me this is yours!"

Murphy shrugged, tacitly acquiescing.

"Can you afford such a car?" Robert Downey Jr. didn't believe Murphy's words at all. "Don't be kidding me, buddy, you stick your head out and have a look. There is a pig flying outside."

The two had been together in prison for a long time, and he was not polite. "Hurry up and see! The pigs are all flying in the sky!"

"Have you forgotten?" Murphy looked at the road ahead. "I told you during my last visit that I am a director now."

"Oh.my.god!" Robert Downey Jr. pointed to the empty sky in front of him, exclaimed, "over there, look over there, there is a cow flying in the sky too!"

This guy! Murphy felt frustrated.

Robert Downey Jr. is undoubtedly a person who likes to show off very much. When he was in prison, he often showed off his celebrity status. When he first heard him say that he wanted to be a director, he was even more mocking.

Murphy also wants to show off, find a place to come back, the current effect...

"You didn't ask old Robert?" Murphy couldn't help turning his head and glanced at him. Robert Downey, who was out of the prison, was like a monkey returning to the jungle. "Didn't you pay attention to the news in this regard?"

"Do you think I would still believe what you said? How many people did you lie to in prison?" Robert Downey Jr. smiled disdainfully. "So many beautiful women are waiting for me in Los Angeles. I plan my dates every day. Where is the time to care about your lies."

He adjusted the seat backwards, raised his feet in front of the windshield, "Go ahead, Murphy. It's not shameful, who are you kidding now?"

In the prison, he needs the other side's asylum, but out of the prison, Robert Downey Jr. thinks that they are two different things.

"Your feet!"

As soon as Murphy's fingers were raised, Robert Downey Jr. took his feet off reflexively, and his feet landed on the floor. Only then did he react, as if he was still a little afraid of this guy...

Little Robert patted his chest lightly. This is not a prison, and it is impossible for Murphy this guy to use those damaging methods to treat him.

"Here is the "Premiere"," Murphy pointed to the storage compartment of the co-pilot. "You can watch it for yourself."

"It's so mysterious..." Robert Downey Jr. whispered and opened the storage compartment. There was indeed a magazine in it, which was a familiar one.

He took it out and flipped through it quickly, only to see the fourth page, showing an expression of disbelief.

"How is this possible?" he almost called out, "Murphy Stanton's $800,000 film "Chain Saw" was finally withdrawn from the theaters at the North American box office of $61.89 million!"

"Someone has the same name as you?" This was Robert Downey Jr's first reaction.

Murphy shook his head.

Robert Downey Jr. closed the magazine, first looked at the cover, and then at the back cover. After reading it over and over several times, he exclaimed, "You paid to print this, right?"

"Am I so bored?" Murphy curled up his lips and said sarcastically, "I will do something stupid that you can take away in a few hours? Or do you think I'm stupid?"

"But..." Robert Downey Jr.'s words were stuck in his throat.

The Murphy he knew was insidious and cunning, and even Rose was scared when he was ruthless, and very interesting to his friends, but he was not a fool who did such silly things.

Is this all true? He slowly turned his head, the doubt in his eyes was turning into shock little by little!

Robert Downey Jr. held out a finger and pointed at Murphy, "That director...no...will it really be you?"

"Do I need to lie to you?" Murphy speeds up, "I have told you many times that I will be a director. You don't believe me."

"But you are obviously a paparazzi!" He cried again.

"I'm a freelance journalist!" Murphy corrected.

What annoyed him the most was Robert Downey Jr.'s mouth, it was crazy to make people quarrel.

"Okay, okay, okay..." Robert Downey Jr. spread his hand, "Even if it's all true, what does it matter to me?"

He tilted his head and looked at Murphy up and down, "I...understood! Murphy, do you want to show off before me? Okay, you succeeded!"

Robert Downey Jr made a very exaggerated expression, "I am shocked by you now!"

As he said, he stretched out his head.

Murphy reached out and pushed his head back, "Donnie, I'm telling you this, of course there is a business."
