Hollywood Road

Chapter 447: It's not a question of money

Ask for monthly and recommended tickets!

The spacious hall was silent for an instant, and dozens of guests who came to the party were stunned on the spot. Even Emma Roberts, who was standing opposite Jonah Hill, was stunned, feeling at a loss for a while, completely unaware. What to do.

As everyone watched, Jonah Hill seemed as if he was the only one in the world. He untied his belt and reached into his crotch to face Emma Roberts, who was invited by him. , Started a plane in public!

It seems that Emma Roberts is not a living person, just a heroine in a film produced in the San Fernando Valley that he likes...

Murphy was the one who woke up the fastest. He slapped James Franco and Robert Downey Jr. who were stunned next to him. The two woke up immediately, followed Murphy and grabbed Jonah Hill, and said involuntarily. Drag him to the nearest lounge.

"You guys, you bastards!" Jonah Hill was feeling cool, where he was willing to leave, struggling desperately, "Let go of me, let me go!"

He broke free of James Franco with one hand, and touched his crotch again.

Murphy shook his head, and his right hand clamped Jonah Hill's neck like iron tongs and pushed him towards the lounge. Jonah Hill was like a chicken that met an eagle in his hand. Nothing. Any ability to resist was pushed into the lounge in a few strokes.

"Close the door!" James Franco followed into the lounge and said to Robert Downey Jr. who came in last, "Close the door quickly."

The door was closed hard by Robert Downey Jr. with a creak.

In the rest room, Murphy had pressed Jonah Hill on a high-back chair, but this guy was extremely excited by the ketone stimulation, and kept struggling.

In order to avoid Jonah Hill from doing more ridiculous things, Murphy greeted James Franco and Robert Downey Jr., "Find something to tie him up first."

Just as James Franco was about to find the rope, Robert Downey Jr. walked quickly to the side of Jonah Hill who was firmly held by Murphy, reached out to touch his waist, and took one in two or three strokes. The black leather belt was pulled out, James Franco also came to help, and the three of them used this belt to tie Jonah Hill to the top of the high-back chair.

Now Jonah Hill, of course, can’t understand the actions of people like Murphy, and keep yelling, "You want to grab my woman? I want to fight with you! See if I..."

A series of foul language spurted out of his mouth.

James Franco pulled out a bundle of wide tape from a drawer in the lounge, and without hesitation tore a piece, and along with Robert Downey Jr., stuck the big mouth of Jonah Hill.

Outside the lounge, the party was also a bit chaotic. The hostess Lily Collins was obviously also inexperienced, and she didn't know how to explain and deal with it for a while.

Especially how to face the guest Emma Roberts.

"Those guys like to fool around." Gal Gadot took the initiative to say, "I'm playing a prank again."

Susan Downey hurriedly said, "Well, a few of them are fooling around, regardless of time and occasion."

Hearing the two companions helping herself, Lily Collins hurriedly smiled apologetically to Emma Roberts.

In fact, Gail Gadot is very clear that this explanation is very reluctant. As long as Emma Roberts has her brain, she will definitely not believe it, but she did not intend to convince the other party, as long as Emma Roberts's face can live. I don't want to fall out because of such a thing, and this chapter will be over.

Emma Roberts put a smile on her stiff face, "It's okay."

In the lobby, Seth Logan also thought out his words, and said to the guests who were at a loss, "Just now we saw the atmosphere here is too dull, Jonah wants to enliven the atmosphere, everyone continue, continue."

Nothing strange in Hollywood. With Seth Rogen's shield, the party quickly returned to normal.

Lily Collins, Gal Gadot, Susan Downey, Seth Rogen, Leonardo DiCaprio and others, each found an excuse to send the people next to them, and walked in one after another. That lounge.

"what happened?"

Gal Gadot walked to Murphy and asked concerned, "What's wrong with Joe?"

Jonah Hill leaned back on the chair, the strap of his wrist was loosened, and after the strength of the ketone medicine passed, he had fallen asleep.

Murphy shook his head, "This guy is taking medicine. It's the kind of medicine that is more effective."

Gail Gadot sighed helplessly, Jonah Hill hadn't been taking drugs for a day and a half, and no one said much about this kind of thing.

"This medicine is best not to touch it." Robert Downey Jr. rarely reminded everyone in the room, "The effect is too strong. When Joe wakes up, everyone will persuade him."

Looking at Jonah Hill, who was unaware of personnel, Murphy walked to the other door of the lounge, opened the door and looked at it, and said to James Franco, "Get Joe upstairs first. Go to his bedroom, it is estimated that he will not wake up in a short time."

James Franco nodded and asked Seth Rogen to lift Jonah Hill upstairs with him.

Seeing Jonah Hill being taken away, Lily Collins breathed a sigh of relief. After all, her party was not messed up by the unreliable guy Jonah Hill.

"Don't worry." Gal Gadot said comfortingly in the past, "They will have some off-line situations from time to time, and it will be better for a long time."

Lily Collins nodded slightly, James Franco was not very reliable in this regard.

Susan Downey also came over, and the three women got together and chatted in a low voice.

The room gradually became quiet, Leonardo DiCaprio looked at Robert Downey Jr., who seemed to be answering the phone, could not help but come to Murphy's side.

"It's chaotic." Leonardo DiCaprio said with emotion. "You should persuade Jonah Hill. Drugs and drugs have ruined too many people."

"We will find a way." Murphy also knows the dangers of these things, but here is an extreme pursuit of personal freedom, even in the friendship between Stanton's party members, this kind of thing is not easy to say too much.

When Murphy thought about this, Leonardo DiCaprio suddenly changed the subject.

"You got the film rights to an autobiographical novel two years ago." He was talking about movies, "Jordan's autobiography."

Murphy turned to look at Leonardo DiCaprio and said, "The copyright of his autobiography is indeed with me."

Although not a good friend, Leonardo DiCaprio has had many contacts with Murphy. He knows how much he is, so he didn't go around in circles and said directly, "Can I transfer it to me?"

Murphy shook his head directly, and Leonardo DiCaprio said again, "The copyright fee is easy to say."

"Leo." Murphy laughed. "It's not a question of money."

He didn't go in circles, and said, "Are you interested in working with Stanton Studio once?"

"This..." Leonardo DiCaprio thought for a while, "Let me think about it?"

"Of course." Murphy gestured to make a call. "If you think about it, don't forget to notify me."

Leonardo DiCaprio nodded, turned and walked out of the lounge.

The film copyright of this autobiography was bought by Murphy deliberately two years ago, and of course it will not be easily transferred to others.

Of course, this Jordan is not Michael Jordan, but Jordan Belfort.

Jordan Belfort has played many different roles at different stages of his life: salesman, financial crook, rich man, prisoner, writer, orator... He was involved in hundreds of millions of dollars in stock market fraud in the 1990s. Sin was in prison for two years. After he was released, he wrote two memoirs of his own experience, and he became famous with his extraordinary eloquence and charm.

In the beginning, Jordan Belfort had very limited knowledge of finance. He studied at the dental school, and after dropping out of school, he sold frozen lobster and steak door to door. Later, he sold ice cream everywhere on the street.

Relying on his clever tongue, Jordan Belfort defrauded investors of funds and trained a group of subordinates who used the same method to commit fraud. After he went to prison, his inmates were very interested in his story and encouraged him. Write it down.

In 1998, Jordan Belfort was suspected of fraud and driving up the stock price, causing investors to lose nearly 200 million U.S. dollars. Later, he was convicted of securities fraud and money laundering and was imprisoned for four years. However, after agreeing to cooperate with the FBI and accusing his partners and colleagues, Belfort was eventually commuted and released after serving 22 months in jail.

In prison, he did not waste his time. He transferred his enthusiasm for the financial industry to writing. He carefully studied Tom Wolfe's "Bonfire of Vanity" and studied the role interpretation, dialogue and tone of the book. , And then he imitated Wolfe's writing techniques to tell his personal experience, and finally wrote two memoirs.

But he is not very good at mixing now. Even if he gets a high amount of autobiographical copyright income from Murphy, the money he can keep in his hands is relatively limited.

According to Murphy's understanding, half of Jordan Belfort's money will be used to repay the 1,513 investors who were deceived by him, and the amount of compensation is as high as 114 million U.S. dollars.

In any case, this can be regarded as a legend, especially the ups and downs of life, naturally suitable for adaptation into a movie.

Leonardo DiCaprio needs time to think about it, and Murphy himself is not in a hurry. Now "Inglourious Basterds" is still in theaters, it's still early for the next time.

After the James Franco and Lily Collins party ended, 2009 soon arrived. The North American box office of "Inglourious Basterds" successfully broke through the 200 million U.S. dollar mark, and the global box office is also moving towards 400 million U.S. dollars...

Soon, the time for the announcement of the new Oscar nominations arrived.
