Suddenly, Murphy saw a topic that could continue to talk. If two people who have just met, if they don't have a common topic, it would be embarrassing to stand together, and it would not last long.

He followed Gal Gadot's words and asked, "Why? I think "Chicago" is very good. Both the choreography and the black humor in it are excellent. It can even be said that it has been singing and dancing in the past two decades. The pinnacle of the film."

"Compared to "The Pianist"?" Gal Gadot obviously disagrees with Murphy's words. "Do you think "Chicago" is more qualified to win the prize than "The Pianist"? Roman Polanski's meticulously crafted masterpiece, Isn't it comparable to a film adapted from a Broadway opera?"

Obviously, she has a certain understanding of the movie industry, but this understanding only stays on the surface.

"Yes!" Murphy shrugged slightly, "I think "Chicago" is more qualified than "The Pianist" to win the best picture of the Golden Man!"

Gail Gadot, who was next to him, was obviously surprised by Murphy's answer, and suddenly there was a sentence that Murphy could not understand. It was probably her mother tongue, Hebrew.

Then, Gal Gadot realized that he had said the wrong thing and switched back to accented English, "Why?"

Without waiting for Murphy’s answer, she added, “The Pianist reflects a real history! It is a reenactment of a nation’s tragic past experience! It is also a flogging for the ** extremists! Isn’t such a film enough? Excellent? Or you are an American director, and you are inclined to American movies in your heart?"

"Of course not!" Murphy immediately denied.

Gal Gadot turned to look at him, as if waiting for a reasonable explanation.

Murphy pointed to the empty table just now, "Let's go over there and sit down and talk."

Gail Gadot felt that his legs were a little tired after slightly moving his feet in high heels. After a little hesitation, he nodded.

When the two walked to the table, Murphy took the initiative to open a chair for her, waited for Gal Gadot to sit down, then beckoned to a short distance and called a waiter over.

"Two glasses of water," Murphy specifically instructed, "Don't add any drinks, thank you."

Gal Gadot glanced at him. This tall and robust young director seemed very careful.

The waiter quickly sent a glass of water, and Gal Gadot took a sip from the glass, continued the topic, and urged, "Why do you say that "Chicago" deserves the best picture more than "The Pianist" , There is always a reason, right?"

She still has the youthful youthfulness that can't be concealed on her face, but she is full of interest in the film industry in her words.

Murphy didn't answer, but instead asked, "Gail, why do you think "The Pianist" deserves an award?"

Before he knew it, he was getting closer to the relationship between the two.

Gal Gadot’s focus was all on the topic, and he didn’t care about it. Hearing Murphy’s question, he immediately said, "Didn’t I just say it, "The Pianist" reflects a period of time in the most authentic way. The history that shouldn't be forgotten has also nailed the ** on the pillar of shame forever. It is also a testimony of a nation's strong desire for survival!"

When talking about sex, she gritted her teeth, and she deserves to have been educated in Israel.

At this point, Murphy also understood, and Gal Gadot was nothing more than a mixture of personal feelings and likes and dislikes.

"Gail, your words are biased," Murphy did not approve of these so-called reasons she said. "A film that reflects a history that should never be forgotten in the most authentic way should be awarded? It will be forever. The film nailed to the pillar of shame is taken for granted by the Little Golden Man? A film that testifies to a nation’s persistence for survival must be the choice of the Oscar judges?"

He shook his head, and just about to continue speaking, Gal Gadot suddenly said, "What do you... mean?"

There was a hint of alertness in her bright eyes, "Don't you think what happened to the Jews deserves to be affirmed?"

"Of course not!" Murphy also didn't expect that this girl was young and was as sensitive as some traditional Jews, and said quickly, "Gail, I'm just talking about the matter."

In Hollywood, although it is much better than the black glass heart, but the Jewish paranoia of persecution...

Murphy shook his head without a trace, and said, "No one can deny that history, can't you? We are now discussing the 75th Oscar Best Picture, not the past history."

Perhaps due to historical reasons, some Jews are too sensitive, and the girl opposite seems to be so.

Gal Gadot put away the suddenly exposed thorn, nodded and said, "Director Stanton..."

"Murphy," he emphasized, "call me Murphy."

"Murphy," Gal Gadot did not insist, and continued, "Don't sell it, tell me your reasons."

Her slightly green face was facing Murphy, and it was all urging.

"The success of a film is not only related to the film itself, but also closely related to the social situation in which it is located." Murphy did not make her wait, giving her own reasons. "From the perspective of the social environment, Less than two years after 9/11, the war in Afghanistan is still burning, and the United States has experienced too much cruelty and pain. An equally cruel movie can easily cause these painful memories. What about "Chicago"?"

He smiled and said, "Singing and dancing, comedy, ridicule, joy...It is still an adaptation of a famous traditional drama, and the quality is guaranteed. It is more pleasing to the Oscar judges than cruel."

"But "The Pianist" still won the best director!" Gal Gadot retorted.

"Like you said," Murphy reminded, "Roman Polanski is a Jew, and "The Pianist" reflects Jewish history."

He opened his hand, "You may not want to hear the following, but it is a fact recognized by all Hollywood."

Gal Gadot didn't seem to care. "Go ahead, I don't mind."

"As we all know, the Jewish power is quite large in Hollywood," Murphy said lightly. "With the support of many Jewish judges, it is not too difficult to guarantee that Roman Polanski will get the Oscar for best director."

"But it's an Oscar..." Gal Gadot didn't quite believe Murphy's words, "Oscar awards..."

"Should it be fair and just?" Murphy smiled and shook his head. "The Oscar judges are also human, and they will be affected. The Oscar is not only a contest of the film itself, but also a film company from promotion to distribution to public relations. How could Harvey’s company get so many Oscars in recent years? He is a recognized public relations master in Hollywood!"

He looked at Gal Gadot while he was thinking, and said, “The best director and best actor can be given to Roman Polanski and Adrian Brody, but the public relations of The Pianist do not It’s not very effective. Even if the judges are partial, it is impossible to give all the cakes to this film. You always have to share a piece for others, right?"

"Chicago is among others the most favored by the judges," Gal Gadot gradually understood Murphy's meaning, "Is PR doing the best job?"

"That's it." Murphy nodded slightly, "This is my personal understanding."

Gal Gadot thought for a while, and said, "It makes sense."

Murphy shrugged. Since Harvey Weinstein and Miramax joined the Oscar competition, the competition for several Oscar heavyweight awards has become a public relations feast. It can even be said that public relations may not be able to win the prize, and it is not public relations. If you don’t, you won’t be awarded.

"Are you very interested in the film industry?" Murphy asked suddenly.

Gal Gadot did not deny, "I am interested, but I want to finish this game as soon as possible."

Murphy took a sip from his water glass, "If you want to enter Hollywood, you will have many natural advantages over others."

"Because I am a Jew?" Gal Gadot is not stupid. It is not difficult to analyze this from Murphy's previous words, "Will be taken care of by many people?"

"I can't talk about taking care of it," Murphy shook his head, "but under the same conditions, many crews and companies will give priority to you."

This is almost an obvious rule in Hollywood, and Jewish actors have more opportunities in Hollywood.

Of course, for non-Jewish people like Murphy, this will not be liked.

"Are you interested in entering Hollywood?" Murphy asked again.

Hearing this, Gal Gadot was wary again, "Do you think I am talented?"

At the party tonight, a few people who claim to be directors approached her, saying what they think she is very talented in acting, suitable for a certain role in their crew...

Gal Gadot is not stupid, and people like Ivy Nivo reminded that they naturally knew that the so-called talent they fancy was false, and that interest in her body was true.

In the discussion just now, she had some good feelings for the young director in front of her. Ivey-Nivo said that Hollywood is a place full of lies, and the other party is at least telling the truth, rather than just agreeing with her against her will.

Looking at it now, it seems that he is not much different from the others...

Murphy is very interested in this girl, otherwise he wouldn't come over directly to have a conversation. What he said just now was his true opinion. When Gal Gadot asked about his talent, his answer was naturally no exception.

"We just talked for a while, I haven't seen your performance," Murphy shook his head again, "I can't be sure of your acting talent, but..."

He looked at Gal Gadot's face that was extremely in line with his aesthetics, "I'm sure one thing, if you become an actor, because this face is beautiful enough, most people will be classified into the ranks of vases without acting skills. And it’s very difficult to get rid of this type of title, especially if you have participated in a beauty pageant."

No one would be happy to hear that he was described as a vase, and Gal Gadot was no exception, but the other party praised her overtly and secretly, and her mood improved unconsciously.

She took a deep look at Murphy, seeming to want to see through his purpose.
