Chapter 166: Brotherhood (seeking subscription)

Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a recommendation ticket!

Going through the front courtyard surrounded by greenery, Murphy walked to the door of the main building. A large movie poster was pasted on the two brown glass doors, but the poster was pasted upside down, with the white side facing outward, and one line. The crooked characters written with a carbon pen are very conspicuous.

Just looking at the line of words, Murphy frowned, the depression and anger in his heart being suppressed by the work, instantly rising.

He walked over, grabbed the poster and tore it off. The poster that was glued to the door by scotch tape made an unpleasant tearing sound. The four corners were still stuck on the door, and the rest fell into Murphy's hands.

Looking at the poster again, Murphy put down the suitcase in his left hand, and with both hands, he tore the poster completely in a few strokes.

The line on the poster is also torn apart—Murphy Stanton, we're all over!

Pushing open the glass door, Murphy walked into the house, turned around upstairs and downstairs, and it was empty. Not only was Carrie Mulligan not there, but her clothes and suitcases were also gone.

It seems that after a period of conflict, this British girl has made up her mind.

Back to the living room on the first floor, he took out his cell phone and sat on the couch. Murphy dialed Carrie Mulligan’s cell phone number. It was the same as before, prompting no one to connect. After sending a text message, he thought about it. Think, dialed Bill Rossis' number again.

After talking to Bill Rossis, Murphy put down his phone and waited. Although still looking calm, his frowning brow reflected his current mood.

After living on both sides of the ocean for more than 20 years, this is still his first love.

Most people have an unusual attachment to their first love. Murphy's experience is a bit special, and he is still an ordinary person.

Now that his first love is on the verge of collapse, of course his mood will not be good.

Within a few minutes, Bill Roses called, "I also just learned that she had moved from Santa Monica. She is now in the city and is temporarily staying at Elizabeth Banks. When she just called And entrusted me to help her find a suitable house."

He persuaded Murphy, "You know her character, stop doing useless work, don't let these affect your work too much. A few days ago, Erica Steinberg called me, and he didn't say anything, but It also hinted that let me remind you not to let personal feelings affect the entire crew."

Just like Murphy said, there are not many idiots in the crew. Jessica Chastain swallowed this dark loss due to the opportunity of his director and this rare heroine, but it doesn’t mean that others don’t understand. Kerry Mulligan's small moves.

After all, because of the success of "Chain Saw", most people are selling him as a director.

Murphy turned his head, the poster torn by him was lying on the floor, and the words "Done" could still be seen vaguely. He slowly exhaled the suffocation in his chest that had been held for a long time, and it was time to make a decision.

"Bill, I know what to do."

When he said these words, he felt that there was a needle sticking in his chest, "You... during this time you help her as much as possible, I will be responsible for all expenses, if, if she wants to..."

"Murphy, there is no if!" On the other side of the call, Bill Rossis was very serious. "You know her character, even her parents will fall out and do not interact with each other. Do you think she will regret it? Or do you think Will she go back?"

Murphy was silent.

Bill Rossis warned him a few more words over there and hung up the phone.

In the office of the Death Star Building, Bill Rossis also frowned sadly. Murphy placed too much hope on him, and he really didn't want to see him get hit.

There is no doubt that his most heavyweight client always maintains a clear mind at work, and has sufficient knowledge of most things or interpersonal relationships, and can clearly see the conflicts of interest in many complex incidents. With enough potential and ability, even in CAA internal meetings, he is considered to be one of the most promising young directors in recent years.

The Murphy he knows is very strong in heart, has an unusually firm personality, does not lack learning efforts and motivation to pursue goals, and there are almost no obvious weaknesses.

Now, Bill Rossis is a little worried, Murphy's emotional intelligence...

In Hollywood, if you are too persistent about a relationship, the consequences are often quite serious.

He knows very well that in this circle, feelings cannot be taken too seriously, and if they are too serious, they will only be hurt.

That afternoon, Bill Rossis introduced a real estate agent to Carey Mulligan. Unlike Murphy’s account, he did not do his best for Carey Mulligan, and instead dropped her assessment of her future by two. level.

At the beginning, he became Carey Mulligan’s agent because of the face of his old friend Julian Fellows. Now Carey Mulligan has fallen out with Julian Fellows, and he valued her later. Mostly because she is Murphy Stanton's girlfriend.

Now, she fell out with Murphy again because of something trivial, because Murphy did not follow her heart completely...

Although not sure if Murphy's emotional intelligence is problematic, Bill Rossis is very sure that the British girl's emotional intelligence is very problematic.

Such a person, even if the talent is amazing, it is impossible to achieve much, not to mention her talent is far from the amazing level.

Compared to Kerry Mulligan, Bill Rossis is more concerned about Murphy and worried that his current job will be affected because of the blow.

This is a production with an investment of up to 8 million US dollars. If Murphy messes up, he will fall directly into the abyss; if the film can get the North American box office that exceeds the input cost by one or two times, then he will move steadily towards the position of second-line director. go ahead.

In this respect, he is as calm as Murphy, and 50 times the return on investment like "Chain Saw" is impossible to happen every time.

The next day, the crew of "Planet of Horror" resumed filming on the warehouse set in Venice, and Bill Rossis rushed past the scene immediately.

"David, the light in your eyes is too bright,"

As soon as he walked to the busiest part of the set, Bill Rossis heard Murphy’s loud shout, "These are two people who are dying, can they have such bright eyes? And Phil, let you The assistant snapped a close-up of Jonah's face!"

The voice was full of anger, no different from the Murphy he had known before, "Jonah, Seth, this is not for the two of you to perform humorously, you are brothers, you are about to die! Where is your brotherhood? "

Bill Rossis still noticed that it was different from the past, and Murphy's temper was obviously bigger.

"Jack, touch up the actor's makeup! Re-shoot in ten minutes!"

Seeing Murphy back behind the director's monitor, Bill Rossis walked over and asked, "It’s not going well today?"

"It's okay." Murphy took a sip from his water glass. "Jonah and Seth are too relaxed. This is a movie, not for them to play."

Indeed, this film has a lot of jokes and absurd elements, but as a commercial film that faces the market, these must be modest. If it is too much, the consequences will be quite serious.

The former Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez undoubtedly pursued these effects too deliberately. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that they are playing off, but the impact on the market is real.

After talking to Bill Rossis, Murphy started filming again. After the crew experienced shooting around the location, the working status was adjusted quite well, and the back shots passed once.

Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen, the two fat guys, also used brotherhood to sensationalize.

In this regard, Murphy has integrated a lot of Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen’s opinions, and used a large number of bridges that have been verified by Hollywood and North American markets. Simply put, it is three vulgar spoofs and brotherhood.

Of course, these must be perfectly integrated with the film itself, and Murphy also spent a lot of thought in this regard.

Then there are actors. No matter how good the director thinks, he also needs to have suitable actors to show it. Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen, two guys, can always be funny, and then perform in the funny. Out of a different kind of brotherhood.

After finishing this scene, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen's work today came to an end. When they left after removing their makeup, they came over to say hello to Murphy.

"In the evening we are going to meet at Jim's side." Seth Rogen knew some of Murphy's habits and stood on the side of the monitor instead of leaning over, "Do you have time to pass?"

Jonah Hill knew that Murphy was in a bad mood lately, so he said, "Go, we haven't been together for a long time."

"I want to go too," Murphy shook his head helplessly, "but time doesn't allow, Miramax wants to confirm the schedule of the Cannes Film Festival, and Harvey Weinstein will come over in the evening."

This is a serious matter. Both Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen know that the latter's simple voice sounded again, "Then another day, another day we will go to your house for a barbecue party."

"Okay!" Murphy responded happily.

He knew that these guys were a little worried about him, and obviously wanted to help him out of this difficult period.

After getting along for nearly a year, Murphy also recognizes Jonah Hill, Seth Logan and James Franco. They do have their own faults and shortcomings, and they will even be labeled as moral. The people of the banner disdain, but treat friends very loyally.

Murphy pays more attention to this point than others.

Therefore, their small group not only continued, but also joined a fellow like Robert Downey Jr. who was even more disdainful by morals.

After lunch, Murphy continued to shoot. Harvey Weinstein came here before the evening, and besides himself, he also brought another heavyweight figure, who was also a director Murphy once liked very much. .
