Slowing the car down a bit, Murphy neither agreed nor disagreed. Instead, he asked Robert Downey Jr. to explain what he knew in detail, and then considered it for a few minutes.

"Downey, we either don't move." Murphy turned to look at Robert Downey Jr. on the co-pilot, and said, "If you want to move, you have to catch them directly!"

Robert Downey Jr. fully agreed with Murphy's words and nodded without hesitation.

"Where is the key they can be caught by us now?" Murphy asked directly, "Do you know?"

Robert Downey Jr. shook his head. Compared to the father and son, he was nothing compared to the so-called Hollywood acting family.

"I've been to China some time ago, and I heard a sentence over there, and it made sense."

Turning his head and looking at Robert Downey Jr., Murphy said unhurriedly, "As long as a person has the perseverance and perseverance for revenge, it is not too late to wait and find opportunities for ten years."

"I...I understand." Robert Downey Jr. had realized something, "I want to find the right opportunity."

"Yeah." Murphy nodded first, then shook his head, "It's not you, it's us!"

Robert Downey Jr. didn't say any kind of excuses. He knew Murphy and knew that with the relationship between the two, Murphy could not stand by.

Putting down Robert Downey Jr. at Beverly Hills, and declined his dinner invitation, Murphy returned directly to his home in the Santa Monica Valley area. This house, which has lived for several years, will expire at the end of this year. Before that, he had to get a place to live, otherwise he could only settle down in the hotel temporarily.

After a simple dinner, Murphy called Grace and asked her to collect more information about the "Flower of Liss". This manor left a very deep impression on him, if nothing else was inappropriate. Murphy also wants to buy it as soon as possible.

Grace gave him bad news.

"There are many people interested in buying this manor," she said on the phone. "The owner and the agency may hold a public auction in order to maximize their profits."

"Public auction?" Murphy couldn't help frowning.

If the "Flower of Liss" enters the auction process, the price may rise again.

Of course, this may also be a gimmick created by the agency sales company, with the goal of making more money.

Murphy thought for a while and said, "Grace, try to get in touch with the owner of'Lis' Flower' and talk to her. I can give her an ideal offer."

"Yeah." Grace agreed.

Now it’s rare not to be interrupted by busy work. Murphy relaxes and takes a good rest. The next morning, he rushes to the warehouse studio outside the small city of Venice. Stanton Studio and Twentieth Century Fox have reconvened. The crew headed by Paul Wilson began preparations for the third season of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones."

Due to the excellent response in the first season, the TV series did not follow the name of each book in the series of novels, but has been using "Game of Thrones" as the title.

"In general, the preparations went well."

People like Paul Wilson and others are busy at work. Murphy just took a look and came out. Carla Faith, the project chief, accompanied him around the studio, and said as he walked, "There is In the preparation, shooting and production of the second season, Paul Wilson has accumulated a lot of experience and made great progress."

Murphy deliberately said, "The people I brought out are definitely top talents."

Carla Firth rolled his eyes, walked into the actor's rehearsal room with him, and said, "You were lucky enough to run into someone with good talent and willing to work hard."

Although she said that, she actually knew very well that those people around Murphy, greatly influenced by him, had gradually grown into Hollywood's top talents.

For example, Paul Wilson, after the second season of "Game of Thrones" hit, many film companies asked him to direct the film, but he declined.

In the rehearsal room, the actors were rehearsing nervously. Murphy just chatted with the more familiar Margot Robbie and Jessica Alba before pulling Carla Faith out.

The two went to the rest area of ​​the studio, bought two cups of coffee from the vending machine, and sat at a table to continue chatting.

Due to work, Murphy and Carla Faith have not seen each other for a long time except for the last dinner.

After talking about work, the two of them gradually turned to Murphy's plan to purchase a real estate. Carla Faith was a little surprised, "Are you going to buy the'Flower of Lis'?"

Murphy nodded, "The house I fancy is the Flower of Liss."

Carla Faith knew something about the "Flower of Liss" and said, "You need to prepare a hundred million dollars in funding. Do you need my help?"

"Not needed yet." Murphy shook his head again.

"That's right." Carla Faith suddenly laughed. "Not to mention that part of the box office dividends of "Man of Steel" will soon be in place. You will get the first and second seasons of "Game of Thrones" alone. The profit is enough to pay the money."

"I want to thank you for this." Murphy picked up the coffee cup and raised it to Carla Faith, "If you were not there, 20th Century Fox would not have paid off the part of Stanton's studio so quickly. profit."

Kara Feith took a sip of coffee and said, "This has nothing to do with me. The cooperation with Stanton Studio is now a basic operating strategy of 20th Century Fox."

When Murphy put down the coffee cup, she asked again, "The company's board of directors asked me to ask you, the director agreement you signed with Warner Bros. and DC Comics has been completed. When will you continue to cooperate with Twentieth Century Fox on new projects? ?"

Murphy did not reject the kindness released by Twentieth Century Fox, saying, "Always let me rest for a while?"

Speaking of rest, Carla Faith suddenly remembered another thing. She put down her coffee cup and asked, "After finishing the third season script, George Martin said that she would take a rest for a while. Now, "A Song of Ice and Fire:" "Game of Thrones" novel has not yet been completed, his body has not been very good, if he has not completed the novel...

She didn't say the latter, but Murphy could understand and said, "Don't worry."

In the past "Game of Thrones", the progress of the final TV series has surpassed the novel itself. George Martin is indeed old, and his body is not very good, and he has to work part-time as the screenwriter of the TV series, which seriously affected the creation of the novel itself .

Now "Game of Thrones" has become a collaboration between Stanton Studios and Twentieth Century Fox. It started earlier than it used to be, and it won't be long before the TV series will exceed the progress of the novel.

George Martin’s age and body are really worrying. In fact, it’s not just Carla Faith, but a considerable number of people including Paul Wilson have expressed their concerns to Murphy. There are also fans on the Internet. Jokingly, George Martin used his life to drag the manuscript...

There are too many aspects involved in this TV series. The benefits created alone will make every participant earn a lot of money. It is normal to have such concerns.

"It's not just us, but George Martin himself is worried that he might pass away before he finishes writing this series."

In this regard, Murphy had communicated with George Martin a long time ago, so he was very calm, "Carla, don't worry, George Martin has already written down the direction of the plot and the ending of the whole story..."

"Really?" Carla Fei interrupted Murphy, and then asked, "Who finally sat on the Iron Throne?"

Hearing this question, Murphy could only helplessly spread out his hand, "I'm very sorry, I don't know who became the master of the Iron Throne in the end, and who won this game of power."

Carla Faith looked at Murphy, her eyes full of doubt.

"The outline of the story written by George Martin and the final outcome were not given to me." Murphy explained in detail. "After he did justice, he stored it in the safe of the Swiss bank and handed over the keys to the safe. Gave it to me."

Murphy took a sip from the coffee cup and continued, "If you want to open the safe, you must wait until George Martin passes away, otherwise..."

He shook his head, "The ending is still a secret."

Frankly speaking, Murphy would also like to see the ending, but George Martin has his own principles, and there is no secret to the secrets that the two people know.

If he knew the ending, might he not talk to Carla Faith now? And if Gal Gadot asks, can you pretend not to know? Tell Gal Gadot, her new girlfriend Margot Robbie asked about the fate and ending of the three silly, I am afraid it would be difficult for Gal Gadot to refuse, right?

Therefore, George Martin chose to lock it in the safe. He can successfully complete the ending of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. The contents of the safe will naturally become invalid. If it can't be completed, Murphy and the entire crew will not let him. The plot is out of his mind.

On the one hand, it can ensure that no matter how the main plot of the TV series can follow his ideas, on the other hand, it is also the most basic professional ethics.

George Martin has been fulfilling the adaptation contract signed between the two parties, including that Stanton Studio has the priority to obtain subsequent adaptation rights. Under normal circumstances, no one will suddenly change partners.

Of course, a fare increase is essential.

Movies or TV dramas adapted from novels have gone viral, and the original copyright owner has created a new sequel. If you want to buy it, you will increase the price. For the production company, this possibility will definitely be thought of in advance. In the first copyright purchase contract between the two parties According to the agreement, "If the copyright owner creates a sequel work, the production company shall be notified, and under the same price conditions, the production company has the right to first obtain the right to adapt and film the sequel work."

There is such a clause in the contract signed between Stanton Studio and George Martin.

"Game of Thrones" is completely on the right track and will inevitably provide Murphy with a large amount of profit in the future, but at this stage, it is "Man of Steel" that can lead Murphy's huge income.
