Entering the suite booked by the organizer, Murphy looked around briefly, then helped Gal Gadot pack his luggage, and the two continued the topic at the same time.

"Every girl in a big city has her own pride." Gal Gadot hung his dress in the closet. "For example, girls in New York always like to laugh at girls in Los Angeles, and girls in Los Angeles will laugh at other younger ones. Girl from the city."

"Regional discrimination," Murphy picked up the shoe box and handed it to Gal Gadot. "It exists everywhere."

"Is there anyone who discriminates against girls in big cities like Shanghai?" Gal Gadot took the shoe box and placed it on the shoe rack under the dress.

Murphy shrugged, "When I came here for the premiere last time, I heard a story about the Shang Hai girl."

"Oh?" Gal Gadot was interested, "let's talk about it."

"There are only two kinds of people in this world who will chase Americans." Murphy raised two fingers, "Shanghai women and Taliban men."

Gal Gadot couldn't understand this kind of slogan with ‘respect for foreign and foreign’. After thinking about it, he asked, “What do you mean? Does Shang Hai girl like American men very much?”

"Probably that's what it means."

This kind of remark was quite cumbersome to explain, Murphy nodded simply, and continued to help Gal Gadot with his luggage.

Packed their luggage, the two went to the bathroom to wash briefly. Murphy lay down holding Gal Gadot together, and soon fell asleep.

Over the next day or so, Murphy and Gal Gadot were in jet lag. Before the event, they went to the PDX area to take a look. Although the construction has not yet started, Walt Disney is cooperating with this side. Shanghai Disneyland has determined that, in the face of such a huge investment, in the future, Walt Disney's films and related peripheral products will undoubtedly be able to enter this vast market more quickly and easily than other major Hollywood companies.

Even in the future, most of Walt Disney's PG and PG-13-level major commercial films will be released simultaneously in China and the United States.

In these respects, Walt Disney has walked ahead of all Hollywood companies.

Compared to Disney’s children’s films, it will be extremely difficult for his films to enter this market. It can even be said that as long as the basic standards of Big Scissors remain unchanged, Murphy’s films will be difficult to show in theaters here. , And the distribution of genuine DVDs and online versions will also be restricted.

In fact, the movies here basically can only rely on the box office to make money. The sales of peripheral products are not negligible, but they are also pitiful. Whether it is domestic movies here or Hollywood movies that are fully industrialized in North America and Europe, Could it be so.

"Strictly speaking..."

On the car driving to the venue of the China-US Film Forum, Murphy said to Gal Gadot, "The market here will be closed for me in the next five years, and even longer."

Gal Gadot was puzzled. "My dear, why do we come here?"

"This is..." Murphy didn't know how to say it for a while, and couldn't tell the truth. That would be too idiotic. After hesitating for a while, he said, "It's a very complicated thing."

"Yeah." Gal Gadot nodded, but didn't ask any more.

She knows Murphy very well, and she has long seen that Murphy is hiding some secrets. No one knows these secrets except himself, but he doesn't say it, and she never asks, who has no secrets in this world?

The car drove into a top school in Shanghai, and then stopped in front of a large auditorium that can accommodate hundreds of people. Murphy and Gal Gadot walked in through the side door. In a lounge, they saw the participants. People from the United States at the China-US Film Forum.

Most of them are less famous people, except for one fat man.

"Murphy!"

The short fat guy saw Murphy and immediately stood up and greeted him, "It's great to see you here."

Then he looked at Gal Gadot, "It’s even better to see the beautiful Miss Gadot!"

Murphy walked over and stretched out his hand to shook the chunky man, "Joe, I didn't expect to meet you here."

He didn't know who would participate.

Humpty Dumpty shook hands with Murphy, and shook hands with Gal Gadot courteously, and then said, "No way, publicity is needed. That guy Cameron refuses to participate in this kind of activity, only I am here. "

This short fat man is Jon Landau, the producer of "Titanic" and "Avatar", and a long-term collaborator of James Cameron.

Listening to what Jon Landau said, and that he is also working with 20th Century Fox, Murphy understands that Jon Landau’s purpose in participating in this event is not simple. I am afraid that a considerable part of it is for the upcoming "Avatar" ".

The two sides chatted for a few words, and someone notified that a discussion meeting was about to begin. The Sino-American Film Forum lasted for two weeks. Murphy could not have been in Shanghai for so long, so this discussion meeting was the focus of his participation. .

Headed by Murphy and Jon Landau, seven or eight people from the American film circle stepped onto the rostrum of the auditorium.

As soon as they took the stage, there was no sound in the originally chaotic auditorium, and then thunderous applause broke out. Murphy and Gal Gadot were sitting on two adjacent seats, looking up, not only The seats were full of dark crowds, and there were even people standing in the corridors and aisles.

The faces of these people look quite young. According to Murphy's guess, most of them should be students from this university.

People from the American film circle sat on the left side of the podium, and on the opposite row of empty seats, filmmakers from China were soon seated.

There are about ten people over there, and there are a few faces in them. Murphy is very familiar with them, such as Jiang Xiaojun and Feng Daya, who are very recognizable. He doesn't know the others. They should be the same as his own. They may be some dramatists.

There was another round of applause in the auditorium, but after these people sat down, Murphy found that there were still two seats empty, one end and one end.

Gal Gadot leaned in and said in a low voice, "Should there be important people who haven't come here?"

"Yeah." Murphy nodded.

According to the habits here, there must be a heavyweight who hasn't arrived.

The organizer has made sufficient preparations in advance. Although the scene is very enthusiastic, the order has always been very good.

Then, a person who appeared to be in his sixties slowly came out of the backstage and walked towards the front chair of the row of people opposite Murphy. This person seemed very unusual. People like Feng Daya and Jiang Xiaojun welcomed him with smiles. He also just nodded blankly, full of frame.

Murphy didn’t know who the other party was, and the students in the audience didn’t know who he was. When the organizer introduced "Welcome to the Honorary Vice Chairman of the Film Association, the Vice Chairman of the Writers Association, the famous playwright and professor Cheng Baoguang", the audience almost There was no applause.

There has always been a discussion about seniority, and Murphy immediately knew that this must be an veteran and an old senior in the industry, maybe he still has inextricable links with the official.

The person named Cheng Baoguang turned his head and looked under the rostrum. It seemed that he was not satisfied with the sparse applause, and the unpleasantness on his face flashed away.

At this moment, the students under the rostrum suddenly stood up and looked quite excited. Some even yelled. Cheng Baoguang had just been so pleased, thinking that these young people had not forgotten his famous name for writing red films and works. Who knew that one after another shouts came up with the applause, making his face embarrassed for a while.

"Guil Binbin! Guil Binbin!"

Obviously, these shouts and applause were not for Cheng Baoguang.

Cheng Baoguang turned his head and looked to the back. A stylishly dressed woman had already stepped onto the podium, turning around and beckoning everywhere, arousing more enthusiastic responses from below.

Thinking of the desertedness when he was on stage, and looking at the current enthusiasm, Cheng Baoguang was very shameless, especially as the woman turned around, there was almost no fabric on the back of her skirt, and the exposed white skin made him feel Quite dazzling.

At the same time, Cheng Baoguang's proud self-esteem has been held by people in the circle such as Feng Daya and Jiang Xiaojun.

When was he a dignified main, melodic and rhythm writer, and the professors and experts who enjoyed the country, Jiajin, and posted him, but he was not as good as a female actor?

Cheng Baoguang sat on the chair with a gloomy face.

The atmosphere in the auditorium was high. Someone walked over to persuade the female celebrity. The female celebrity knew that the occasion was wrong. First, she smiled and nodded at Murphy’s row, then walked back to compensate with her own row. Smiled, and then sat on the back chair.

It took a long time for the organizer's staff and host to quiet the enthusiastic audience.

"She is very appealing." Gal Gadot whispered to Murphy.

Murphy nodded. "Yeah."

Although the popular works are not popular, this man is indeed embarking on a road to superstars. This road has been criticized by countless people, but Murphy has been in Hollywood for so many years, and even more unbearable stars have seen it. She did it. Putting it in Hollywood is nothing at all.

There are also many Hollywood stars like her who are not popular, such as Jessica Alba, Kate Beckinsale, Charlize Theron, Gwyneth Paltrow, etc., listen They are both very famous, but there are few really influential works. The latter two are better. At least they have won an Oscar. The former two are even more famous here than in North America.

After the translation was in place, the discussion activity finally began.

A bald-headed host with glasses holding a microphone, standing in the middle of two rows of people, after a long-winded chase, said, "Today we have invited many outstanding film workers from China and the United States to discuss film together. art……"

"We are talking about film art, right?"

A slightly older voice interrupted the bald host. The host was a little embarrassed, but when he saw Cheng Baoguang standing up, he nodded and said, "Yes, film art."

"Okay! Since we are discussing film art..." Cheng Baoguang pointed his finger at the end of his row, "What qualifications does an actor have to participate in!"
