Hollywood Road

My daughter was so busy at birth. Several chapters were messed up. Yesterday I contacted the editor in charge to revise it. The editor in charge will be on vacation this week. Please forgive me! Also, because there is no codeword, almost no manuscripts are saved, and for the time being, only two updates a day. Those who ridicule the Thirteenth Meeting or even TJ, can accept it.

On the weekend, Murphy departed from the valley area on time and arrived at the gate of UCLA in a short time. Because the school refused to enter from outside vehicles, he parked the car near the school gate and walked inside.

Originally, Gal Gadot was going to come out to pick him up, but he refused. Murphy wanted to come. Since she is the vice president of the film club, she would definitely be busy, and it would not be nice to leave without permission.

Although I haven't studied college here, Murphy feels that it is necessary to build a good relationship with classmates no matter which side of the Pacific Ocean.

More than two years ago, Murphy sent Gal Gadot to here, and he still had some impressions, especially the dormitory area. However, this celebration party was not in the dormitory area, but in a large-scale party where the school often held parties. Inside the restaurant.

He has never been to the dining area. When talking on the phone with Gal Gadot before, he just heard her say that when she enters the door, turn left and go to the first intersection and then turn right, then cross a square and turn left to see the restaurant’s main entrance. It’s very easy to identify with the party banner at the front entrance of the restaurant.

It had just darkened, and the street lights on the campus hadn't been turned on. Murphy turned left and then left as directed by Gal Gadot. He still didn't see where the restaurant was.

Back on the square, Murphy looked for a higher place, looked around, but found nothing.

"It seems to be the wrong way." He immediately realized this, turned and walked towards the right hand side. Just looking around, he found a young girl coming by, like a student from the University of California.

"Sorry, excuse me." Murphy walked over and asked actively, "Excuse me, how can I get to Restaurant No. 1?"

The girl turned her head to look at Murphy, and said curiously, "Are you going to restaurant No. 1?"

Murphy nodded lightly and glanced across the girl's face at the same time. This is a girl with a sort of Nordic appearance. She has a high nose and deep eyes, which is considered very beautiful. She has beautiful blonde hair behind her head, highlighting The three-dimensional facial features.

"I also want to go to restaurant one."

This is inside the campus, and the girl is not worried, and said, "Follow me."

"That's good." Murphy followed along a stone road, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The girl turned her head and smiled at him, and asked, "Are you going to the celebration party over there?"

"Yes." Murphy replied as he walked. "You are a member of the Academy Film Club."

"No, I was invited here too." The blonde girl took Murphy around a bend and pointed to the back of a coconut grove. "The restaurant is over there."

The two of them walked towards the other side at a distance. Murphy took the initiative to introduce himself, "I am Murphy Stanton, Californian."

"Murphy Stanton?" The girl seemed to have heard the name, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly showed a surprised expression, "You wouldn't be the Murphy Stanton in Hollywood?"

"As far as I know." Murphy shrugged. "There seems to be no second."

Although the blonde girl was not surprised, she laughed happily, "Oh, oh, oh, I didn't expect I would meet a famous Hollywood director here."

Murphy smiled and asked politely as a reminder, "Can you know your name, pretty lady?"

"Ah, sorry." The blonde girl was obviously well educated and quickly introduced herself. "I am Elizabeth Holmes, Palo Alto from California."

"Nice to meet you." Murphy said politely.

Elizabeth Holmes also said, "I am also very happy to meet a Hollywood director like you."

While talking, the two had already arrived at the door of the restaurant.

As soon as she walked to the entrance of the restaurant, Murphy saw Gal Gadot approaching quickly. She seemed a little anxious, "Why did it take so long to come here? You won't get lost?"

"You got it right." Murphy spread out his hand and said helplessly, "I'm really lost."

He turned his head and introduced, "This is Miss Elizabeth Holmes. She brought me here."

"Thank you." Gal Gadot thanked him and introduced himself, "I'm Gael Gadot, a member of the film club. Are you Mawson's cousin?"

"Hello." Elizabeth Holmes said with a smile, "I just came to Los Angeles on a business trip, so I accepted Mawson's invitation."

She pointed inside, "I won't bother you anymore, I'm going in."

Elizabeth Holmes glanced back as she walked into the dining room, her gaze fell on Murphy.

"Let's go in too." Gal Gadot took Murphy's arm and walked toward the restaurant, saying as he walked, "I'll tell them, you just have to show up and answer some of them in private. Just leave it alone."

Murphy tilted her head and kissed her gently, "I will listen to your arrangements tonight."

Now that he is here, he will certainly not make Gal Gadot any embarrassment.

But the actual situation was beyond Murphy’s expectation. He had just entered the big restaurant where the party was held. Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard someone shouting "Murphy is here", and the order of the party was completely chaotic. Countless people gathered around. If it weren't for a few film club leaders to stop outside, it would be hard to say that there would be no chaos.

Murphy never expected that he would be so popular in college.

It's no longer possible for him to stay in the restaurant normally, who knows what will happen next, and the situation just now made Gal Gadot a little angry. The chaos just now is likely to hurt Murphy, in that case...

When the order was getting better, Gal Gadot did not hesitate to pull Murphy into a rest room next to him.

"I knew this was the case." She leaned on the door, seemingly afraid, "I said nothing would let you over."

"Hey, dear, calm down." Murphy walked over and took her shoulders, "I have faced situations that are more complicated and chaotic than this."

This situation often appeared in the publicity after his film was released.

There was an aggressive knock on the door. Gal Gadot leaned on the door and did not move. He didn't mean to open the door at all. A boy's voice came from outside, "Gail, it's me, John, and only myself."

Murphy patted Gal Gadot on the shoulder, and Gael Gadot pouted, before he let the door open.

After a brunette boy came in, he was busy apologizing, "Sorry, Director Stanton, we didn't expect this to happen either."

"It's okay." After all, this is Gal Gadot's classmate in the club. Murphy shook his head indifferently, "I like your enthusiasm very much."

The boy scratched his head embarrassedly, "It's because I didn't do my job well, Director Stanton..."

Murphy raised his hand to interrupt him, "Call me Murphy."

Although the words are very polite, Murphy is not going to run into the restaurant to ask for trouble again. This is not like when there is a special security guard next to it during the promotion.

When chatting with the head of this club named John, Murphy gradually understood that the era of the information explosion has arrived. The director whose body is mostly hidden behind the scenes is no longer a situation that no one knew before. Great directors, especially popular ones, will gradually move towards the front of the scene.

In the propaganda films of the last century, actors were first considered, and this will change accordingly. Some well-known directors’ films will also have titles such as eye-catching directors’ works.

"He is so popular among you?"

In the restaurant, Elizabeth Holmes looked at the lounge over there and asked her cousin Moss, "You are like crazy."

"Have you never watched "Deadpool" and "The Lost Lover"?" Seeing his cousin nodding, Mawson said in admiration, "A crazy cute, a crazy fascinating, Murphy's style is so unique ."

He directly raised a thumb, "Among the young directors under 40 in Hollywood, Murphy's ability and income are definitely the first! He is the best admiration for those of us who dream of making movies!"

Elizabeth Holmes automatically ignored the rest of Mawson's words, and only remembered one sentence, "Is income also number one?"

"Absolutely!" Because he was the boyfriend of his classmate, Mawson had known a little and knew a lot of popular products, and said quickly, "I have seen news from authoritative media. His earlier films were all 4 million US dollars. The basic remuneration of the left and right plus a certain amount of box office share, in "Deadpool" it is said that the North American box office achievement alone has received close to 20 million US dollars, and he also accounts for a quarter of the total investment. This film is only box office. Nearly 600 million U.S. dollars, how much money can he get from it?"

Upon hearing Mawson's words, Elizabeth Holmes was thoughtful.

"Why, are you interested in him?" Mawson was very gossiping, "Want to pursue him? He has a girlfriend."

"I'm not as boring as you think." Elizabeth Holmes waved her hand, "I'm going to talk to Murphy Stanton."

Mawson asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Elizabeth Holmes shook her head, did not speak, and walked straight to the lounge.

In the lounge, Murphy was very polite to Gal Gadot's classmates, "John, if you have any questions, you can come here and ask me, I won't go out."

"Okay, okay..." John was overwhelmed with excitement, stood up and said, "I'm going to tell those guys now."

Murphy smiled and nodded to him. John said goodbye to the two and left the lounge.

He had just left when the door of the lounge was knocked from the outside again, and Gal Gadot stood up and opened the door just as he looked at Murphy.

"Hi, Gail." A blonde girl smiled and waved to her. "We meet again."

Gal Gadot naturally remembered her, "Hello, Miss Holmes."

"Call me Liz." Elizabeth Holmes asked politely, "Is Murphy there?"

"In it?" Although Gal Gadot was curious, he stepped aside, and Elizabeth Holmes said again, "I want to talk to Murphy about something."
