Hollywood Road

"this is……"

In the studio, Gal Gadot looked through the stacks of drawings, "What is this?"

Although Murphy's painting skills are very, very ordinary and seem unusually blunt, she can see that the protagonist in all the drawings is herself. The question is why she is painted as a strange-looking warrior? And she seems to be a female warrior from ancient Greece?

What is he going to do? With such doubts, Gal Gadot glanced at the other side, and Murphy took out a stack of drawings from his briefcase.

"Dear……"

There is no one else in this waiting room. Murphy pushed the sketch to Gal Gadot, "Tomorrow is Valentine's Day."

Gal Gadot nodded, "Didn't you say you want to send me a car?"

Originally, Murphy wanted to give Gal Gadot a Lamborghini or Porsche 911. This kind of car seemed to her too ostentatious and too expensive. From the very beginning until now, Gal Gadot has always opposed Murphy. Give too expensive gifts.

"That's just a very ordinary Chevrolet." Murphy understood that Gal Gadot's independent character would basically not depend on others, and said, "This is our first Valentine's Day!"

In any case, he really wants Gal Gadot to stay in Los Angeles for a long time in the future, instead of returning to Israel to serve her country after completing his studies.

This is indeed a bit selfish, but even now, his so-called brainwashing work has not made any progress. Gail Gadot grew up in Israel and his concept of being influenced by propaganda is not so easy to change.

However, Murphy can also see that Gal Gadot is a very, very emotional person. Coupled with the unusual harmony of the two, the deep feelings may change her future choices.

The law is difficult to read. Murphy only learned later that there are many restrictions on studying in the United States. Gal Gadot is only studying related preparatory courses that can enter law school in the future. If he wants to study and return to Israel, there are several Years, he still has time in the future.

But he will not relax because of this. The too radical strategy will only trigger a conflict between the two people about Israel and the Jews. After all, the education he has received since childhood and the news that he has read, Israel is not a good thing.

For Gal Gadot, a native Israeli, Murphy's strategy is to subtly, change little by little, and use a long time to win this battle between personal emotions and the country.

Gal Gadot looked through the drawing he had just received. It was modeled on Murphy, which was exactly the same as his own style, especially the clothes, which looked like couples.

"I want to commemorate our first Valentine's Day in a special way." There are some secrets in Murphy's heart that cannot be said. "So, I designed this costume specially."

He stretched out his right hand, covering Gal Gadot's left hand, gently stroking the smooth jade back of his hand, "Let them be witnesses of our love."

"Hmm..." Gal Gadot nodded vigorously, put down Murphy's drawing, picked up his own copy, always feeling that something was wrong, and frowned, "But...why is it designed like this?"

In the drawing, she wore a retro-style tight-fitting battle armor, with a typical ancient Greek fighting style. The leaky shoulder breastplate was in a V shape and continuously contracted to the waist, giving a person a kind of inverted triangle power beauty. Rich detailed depiction and stacking...

Also, with a bronze round shield on his left arm, his right hand stretched out to his back, and he was pulling out a simple long sword.

This is of course Wonder Woman's costume, but Princess Diana in the comics of this era is still wearing a star-striped costume. Others will only think that this is the costume of an ancient Greek soldier.

Murphy certainly can't tell the truth, otherwise it would be strange if Gal Gadot could accept it.

"My dear..." He had already thought about the reason, "You grew up in a land of war, but you have never feared or flinched. You are my God of War! Goddess of War! That's why I have this one. idea."

This came to Gal Gadot's heart. She grabbed Murphy's hand on the back of her hand and rubbed it on her cheek a few times, showing a happy smile, "Then... just order it. do it."

We have been dating for a while, and with these words, Gal Gadot thinks that he sees her very clearly. Murphy has never regarded her as a vase, let alone a man’s vassal, but as she thought, he always Think of her as a strong and independent woman.

Murphy stood up and reached out again to pull Gal Gadot up, "Let's go find Jack."

The actual owner of this studio is Jack Watson. Once a stylist who had no qualifications and was not a glass stylist, after cooperating with Murphy for four consecutive releases and gaining considerable fame and funding, he also belonged to Own studio.

When I met Jack Watson, Murphy confessed a few more words to him. His painting skills are limited, and painting can only be a more intuitive response. It can't be used as a design artwork at all. There are many details that need to be finalized. The two also agreed to communicate in time.

Later, a staff member came over to measure body data for Murphy and Gal Gadot. After they were done, they left Jack Watson's studio.

The two did not stop in Beverly Hills, and went straight back to Santa Monica. Not long after they returned home and waited for a while, someone from the sales company sent a brand new red Chevrolet over, which is Murphy to One of Gal Gadot's Valentine's Day gifts.

This is a very ordinary Chevrolet car, worth less than $20,000. Gal Gadot's driver's license has also passed the review. If you have a car, it is also convenient to enter and exit Los Angeles.

Public transportation in Los Angeles is not well-developed, which does not match the city's huge reputation. It is very inconvenient without a car.

This house has two garages. Murphy parked Chevrolet in another garage. Gal Gadot went to the main building, carrying a large bottle of champagne and a box of vegan pizza, and also entered this garage. .

Then, the two never came out again all night. This brand-new Chevrolet car carried the two men's blazing flames and their desires that could not be eliminated with the most intense movements and methods.

Because Murphy gave the post-production team a vacation, Valentine’s Day hid at home with Gal Gadot. The two of them have a game that can be lingering regardless of time and place as long as they are in the house. This kind of crazy obsession, this house in the Santa Monica Valley area, almost every corner has left the mark of two people's madness.

In fact, Murphy is also considering whether to buy a house. The lease of this house is about to come. If the lease is renewed, Grace will have to negotiate with the landlord and the intermediary company. Due to contract restrictions, he also Unable to redecorate this house according to my own ideas.

But he has a problem with funding now. Many of the accounts of "Sin City" have not been paid yet. A lot of the money he received before has been invested in the "Deadpool" project, and it will not take a few years, like real estate in the United States. Will fall sharply, right?

He doesn't remember it very clearly, but it should be influential.

The most important thing is that Gal Gadot lives in school most of the time, and only comes over on weekends or holidays. It is not very urgent now.

After Valentine’s Day, Murphy and Gal Gadot have returned to their work and study, especially Murphy. The post-production of "Deadpool" has reached a critical stage. The film will be on the second weekend of April. When it is released, he must ensure that all the work is completed on time, and set aside a certain amount of trial time for Twentieth Century Fox.

Although the initial cut has been completed a long time ago, Murphy will still watch a lot of footage repeatedly every day. Sometimes, editing a scene that looks badly performed into a suitable clip may become a magical stroke, of course, more It is to choose and edit those very good performances, such as Downey's material.

I have to say that Robert Downey Jr.’s performance is very good. His height is flawed, but it’s too easy to solve the actor’s height during shooting, and his performance in other aspects is simply perfect. There is no material. It doesn't work, he gave Murphy many choices, so it becomes "Which one is right here? Use this one more funny, or should it be more sincere?"

However, these materials are not simply permutations and combinations. In many cases, some clips are funny when viewed individually, but if you put them in the context, you will feel a bit too much.

Murphy knows very well that "Deadpool" should be a typical popcorn movie, but at the same time, the most fascinating feature of this character is his madness and influx.

Therefore, editing is actually to stay loyal to the character while not letting him deviate from the destination of the story.

After adding a lot of post-production special effects, Murphy and Jody Griffith reduced the two and a half hours of editing from the first edition to about 1 hour and 55 minutes.

This is not enough, the length of the feature film of Murphy's plan only needs 1 hour 35 minutes to 45 minutes.

This requires him and Jody Griffith to continue editing.

Murphy cuts off some dispensable shots first, then invalid, and then redundant.

In the meantime, he may have to cut off some of his favorite shots-with the aim of "for better and better".

By the end of February, the editing was basically completed, and Murphy's work was a little easier, and more focused on supervising and reviewing the production and addition of special effects, recording and dubbing, and soundtrack production.

Bill Rossis, who has been busy during the awards season, disappeared for a while, and returned to Murphy's vision. He came to the post-production room of the Fox Tower to find him.

"The college announced the Oscar nomination, and the public relations work has to go underground, so I won't be so busy."

Looking at Murphy, Bill Rossis sighed, "Originally, my company and I wanted to win you a Golden Globe or Oscar nomination. It's a shame now."
