Hollywood Road

"Relax, Murphy, I will be there on time, a little late at best."

After deducting the phone call from Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. walked out of the event. A large number of reporters flocked to surround him, the hero of "The Wolf of Wall Street."

"Downey!" a reporter asked loudly, "You have exceeded $100 million in North American box office for three consecutive movies. How do you feel?"

Robert Downey Jr. did not answer the reporter's question, but specifically reminded, "Your statement is incorrect. The box office of "The Wolf of Wall Street" now exceeds $200 million in North America. Thank you!"

Many reporters were very dissatisfied with Robert Downey Jr’s crap, but couldn’t say anything. After all, on the fourth weekend of the show, the North American box office of "The Wolf of Wall Street" steadily passed the US$200 million mark. With the addition of the previous "Iron Man" and "Detective Sherlock Holmes", Robert Downey Jr. has achieved three consecutive bursts of movies starring in him.

"Robert, what do you think of the controversy surrounding "The Wolf of Wall Street"?" another reporter asked.

"This is a very warning work. The performance of the characters may be funny or funny."

Faced with the reporter’s question, Robert Downey Jr. simply pulled out those previous words. "Murphy mainly wants to make this film a mirror for the audience to judge their own behavior, rather than simply making a right or Wrong moral evaluation."

He paused for a while, and then said, "Still those words, I hope that all viewers can see the process of Jordan Belfort's fortune from his fortune to his fall and his final destruction in the film, and then reflect on the current consumerist cultural atmosphere in American society. In a market, all people are inevitably consumers, who instinctively want to get more things."

A reporter extended the microphone in front of him and asked, "But many Oscar judges are criticizing the film's position and reflected values."

"I've said it before." Robert Downey Jr. emphasized again, "These judges are completely mistaken. The film itself is only as true as possible to show the character's experience and behavior, without any sympathy or sympathy. The critical attitude objectively describes the process of all this happening."

The reporter also wanted to ask. Robert Downey Jr. looked at his watch. It was too early and he stopped answering. He winked at the assistant and squeezed to his Bentley under the protection of several security personnel. In front of the car, got in the car.

"Go to Beverly Hills." Robert Downey Jr. told the driver, "Murphy's Wave Manor."

The black Bentley drove out of Santa Monica Plaza and galloped towards Beverly Hills.

Leaning on a comfortable car seat, Robert Downey Jr. looked at the fast-reversed street lights and advertising neon outside the window. He didn't know why, and suddenly gave birth to an unreal feeling.

It has only been a few years since I was released from prison, and I have changed from a spurned drug addict to a Hollywood superstar that everyone envy?

Especially the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" whose subject matter is obviously not very popular, can also achieve such excellent box office results. He has to admire that Murphy is a good player in filming, and even a master of film operation.

If a film like "The Wolf of Wall Street" is not a series of propaganda operations and word-of-mouth marketing, even if it can get relatively good box office results in North America, it will inevitably be coldly received overseas.

But the current situation, the film is selling at the box office in the North American market, and the performance of the overseas market is not bad at all.

On the third weekend of its release in North America, the film began to appear in theaters in many regions such as Europe, the United States and the Far East. So far, the overseas box office has exceeded 151 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office has reached more than 358 million U.S. dollars. The total box office The breakthrough of 400 million US dollars is already at hand.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" performed well in the market, and the awards season also began to harvest. Last weekend, it just won the three heavyweight awards of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Director, Best Picture and Best Actor. And he got news from his father Robert Downey. A group of influential judges headed by Frank Pearson are quite supportive of "The Wolf of Wall Street". Judging from the current situation, "The Wolf of Wall Street" Hopes of winning four important nominations for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor are greatly increased.

Oscar statuette...

Robert Downey Jr. rubbed his fingers. He also wanted to taste the taste of holding up the Oscar for Best Actor Golden Man, but he also understood that he appeared in a comic movie like "Iron Man" and wanted to win this award. , The difficulty is really a bit big.

The black Bentley car drove into Wave Manor amidst Robert Downey Jr's cranky thoughts, and drove along the straight road from the gate to the front of the villa.

As soon as the car stopped, Robert Downey Jr. pushed the door and got out of the car. Without the help of the servant beside him, he walked straight into the restaurant and saw Murphy, Gail Gadot and Rose sitting at the oak dining table. .

Rose seems to have changed a little bit from before. Robert Downey Jr. took a closer look and found that there were two more inconspicuous scars on his face.

"You are late."

Murphy pointed to the empty seat at the table, "Sit down."

Robert Downey Jr. smiled and greeted Gal Gadot, sat next to Rose, pointed to the scar on his face and asked, "What's the matter? Why is it broken again?"

Rose first nodded to Robert Downey Jr. as a greeting, and then said, "The Vietnamese are becoming more and more unruly."

"It was done by the Vietnamese?" Robert Downey Jr. was a little surprised. "Can the Vietnamese hurt you too?"

Ross smiled coldly, "Several leaders of the Vietnamese have already gone to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to wash..."

"Everyone, try this French baked snails." Gal Gadot interrupted Ross suddenly, "This is made by a French chef I specially invited."

Robert Downey Jr. turned his head and glanced at Gal Gadot, sighing that she was getting smarter.

Rose next to him also looked at Gal Gadot, knowing that he had just said something that shouldn't be said, and immediately picked up the knife and fork, ate a French baked snail, nodded and said, "Very good."

"We haven't been to the center of the city for a long time." Murphy asked at this time, "Are the Vietnamese arrogant?"

"The old Chinatown now belongs to the Vietnamese." Rose shook his head, trying to pick out the insensitive content and said, "They are very unruly, never pay attention to ways and methods of doing things, and often draw shots and kill people if they don't agree with them. "

Gal Gadot guessed that the words just now might have generated opinions in Rose's heart, and quickly followed up to ease the atmosphere, "Is it messy over there?"

Rose just smiled, and Robert Downey Jr. said, "If you ask Murphy, you'll know if it's messed up. He grew up in a slum."

"Growing up in a slum like Murphy," Rose said with emotion. "There may not be one out of 10,000 people who can make great achievements."

"Ten thousand?" Robert Downey Jr. shook his head, "Don't say ten thousand, there is no one out of 100,000. There is only one Murphy Stanton in Hollywood and in the United States!"

"I'm just lucky." Murphy raised his glass to Rose. "If it wasn't for the training in prison, there would be no me who I am now."

Rose knew very well that it was during that time that a little gangster turned into a determined man.

Thinking of Murphy’s achievements now, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass and sighed for a long time. "Murphy, I envy you this guy very much now. Unlike me, I feel like walking every day. On the crater about to erupt."

Murphy keenly sensed that Rose's mood was a bit wrong, and immediately asked, "What happened?"

"It's nothing." Rose shook his head. "It's just in the past few years that I have become more and more aware that I have been on a path of no return. It's dark and I can't see the future."

"Why not change the line?" Robert Downey Jr. said concerned, "Throw away the current baggage and start again. Both Murphy and I can help you!"

Rose gave a rather helpless smile, "Where things are so easy as you said, I can put things away wherever I can."

Although he has not participated in the specific, Murphy can guess by imagination that even if Rose wants to get away, it will not be possible in a short time, and he can achieve most of the market share in downtown Los Angeles. No one will believe that the legal department is not involved.

Murphy thought for a while and said, "If there is anything I can help, just speak up."

Rose smiled, but didn't answer his words. Instead, he said, "Recently, I have a lot of dealings with Vietnamese people. I often hear them talk about it. Some things are destined."

"When did you believe these things?" Robert Downey Jr. shook his head straight.

"Isn't it?" Rose shrugged. "Since I was violated by a Catholic priest when I was twelve years old, I was destined to not take a normal path."

Robert Downey Jr. was surprised, "Is there such a thing?"

He looked at Murphy, there was no strange expression on Murphy's face, obviously he knew what Rose was talking about.

As early as in prison, Murphy heard Rose talk about his childhood misfortune, and it was the psychological trauma caused by misfortune that made him give up his studies and enter society early, and eventually became the current Ross.

Seeing Robert Downey Jr. still wanting to ask, Murphy shook his head slowly at him. Robert Downey Jr suppressed his curiosity and closed his mouth.

These sad things were quickly thrown aside by a few people. The atmosphere in the banquet hall was no longer so heavy and gradually became harmonious. Gal Gadot also went to the kitchen to make an Israeli-style falafah, although the taste was average. , But also shows the hospitality of the hostess.

As the night darkened, Rose took the lead to leave, and Murphy's three men drove him to the door of the villa.

Before getting into the car, Rose suddenly stopped and beckoned to Murphy.

Murphy walked over and Rose said in a low voice, "I do want you to help me."
