Hollywood Road

Ask for monthly and recommended tickets!

As soon as he drove out of the manor, Murphy received a call from James Franco. He parked the car on the side of the road and answered the phone. James Franco's urging voice rang in the receiver.

"Murphy, where have you been?" His voice was loud, "Why haven't you here yet, do you want to let me dove?"

"It's already out." Murphy said calmly, "Don't forget, I attended the nominees luncheon at noon."

James Franco over there asked again, "How many nominations did you get?"

"Nine." Murphy sped up a bit, "Best actor, best supporting actor, best director and best picture nominations are all received."

"Congratulations." James Franco urged again, "You come here quickly, I'll wait for you."

"Ok."

Murphy responded, hung up, and drove the car toward the Santa Monica Beach Pier.

He knew that James Franco had planned secretly for today's marriage proposal for a long time, and asked the people around him to help Lily Collins together. According to him, he prepared a very, very special way of proposal.

Murphy wanted to see what tricks this inexperienced guy could do, and he could also accumulate a little experience for his future.

Compared to New York, the traffic conditions in Los Angeles are much better. Murphy soon reached the beach area of ​​Santa Monica and turned on the coastal avenue built along the coast.

Murphy had to slow down when entering the coastal avenue. There were too many people in the Santa Monica beach area.

Just like when he chose to live in Santa Monica in the first time, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the transportation is convenient. It is not only suitable for summer and cool, but also for those who want to spend a leisurely afternoon, Santa Monica Beach is also the best Good choice.

Murphy’s destination is located at the Santa Monica Flower State Beach, north of the Santa Monica Pier. This is one of the most famous beaches in Los Angeles. Its coastline is two miles long, seemingly endless.

Due to the slow speed, Murphy took some time to reach the end of the coastal avenue, and the Santa Monica Huazhou Beach also appeared in his line of sight.

However, the parking spaces here are very tight. Just looking for a parking space took Murphy ten minutes.

Fortunately, it is not summer. In the peak season of summer, there is no parking space at all.

After parking the car, Murphy quickly walked towards a jetty, which was first built in 1908 and is a symbol of Santa Monica. Many movies and TV series have been filmed here. ,

For example, in James Cameron's movie "Titanic", Jack told Ruth to bring Ruth to the Santa Monica Tutti Pier to ride the Ferris wheel; in the movie "Forrest Gump", Forrest Gump runs The West Bank is here.

The meeting place that James Franco chose was the most famous restaurant on the pier called Bubba-Gan.

"Hi, Murphy!"

As soon as he walked into the restaurant, Murphy heard James Franco's voice, "Here, we are here."

Today’s Bubba-Gan restaurant is empty and there are only a few guests. Murphy does not need to ask to know that James Franco must have booked this restaurant, even though Murphy is included in the audience, just There are two brothers James Franco and Seth Logan, as well as Susan Downey, who attended instead of Robert Downey Jr. who went to the Far East. However, in order to propose to Lily Collins, it is still very easy to book a restaurant. Sensible.

In this era when smart phones are becoming more and more popular, if there are outsiders present, related images may soon appear on social networking sites.

For a star at the level of James Franco, whether he is engaged or getting married, it is not a person’s business. It will be related to his future development and the entire brokerage team behind him. At present, CAA's brokerage team does not formulate relevant public relations propaganda. Therefore, James Franco does not intend to let this marriage proposal be exposed first.

Even the restaurant signed a confidentiality agreement with James Franco.

Murphy came to a large dining table near the window. Everyone was sitting here and talking in low voices. He pulled a chair away and sat between Seth Rogen and Susan Downey, looking at the opposite. James Franco asked with concern, "How are you preparing?"

James Franco winked his eyes, "It's all ready."

As he said, he also pointed to a storage room in the restaurant, and Dave Franco next to him answered, "When James proposes, I will come out with big surprises from the storage room. Give it to Lily."

Murphy was a little curious and couldn't help asking, "What kind of surprise?"

Dave Franco shook his head quickly, "This is a secret. No one will know until the final truth is revealed!"

Murphy looked at Seth Logan and Susan Downey again. The two shook their heads at the same time, obviously not knowing what surprise the Franco brothers had prepared.

"Are you planning to study?" Susan Downey suddenly winked at Murphy, "Someone has been waiting for your proposal."

"Soon." Murphy shrugged and said with a smile, "Always find a suitable opportunity."

Everyone sitting at the dining table knew the meaning of these two words, and couldn't help laughing at the same time.

Because James Franco asked to get married and told Lily Collins that the party time had been pushed back a bit, Murphy and others waited while chatting, and occasionally admired the scenery of Santa Monica Beach outside the window, but they didn't feel bored.

Murphy took a special look at the meeting. Because of the weekends, there are so many people on the jetty and the beach. Every holiday, small concerts and dances are held here, which is unique.

Especially when the sun sets in the evening, this artistic conception gives people another unique feeling.

"The juice is coming!"

A waiter brought a glass of orange-yellow freshly squeezed juice, and Dave Franco reminded James Franco, "The juice is here."

James Franco waved his hand to the waiter. After the waiter left quickly, he took out a jewelry box that was obviously a ring.

"Oh, the proposal ring is ready!" Seth Rogen helped his glasses and said impatiently, "Jim, quickly open it, let's see how big the diamond is on the ring?"

Murphy asked concerned, "You wouldn't just give Lily the ring directly, would you?"

Susan Downey shook her head. "That's too old-fashioned."

"Of course not!" James Franco opened the box and took out the small and exquisite diamond ring inside. "I will use it in a very special way."

The ring looked very small, Murphy vaguely remembered that Lily Collins had very thin fingers, presumably this was specially made by James Franco.

"What special way?" Seth Rogen was still curious.

James Franco smiled, picked up the glass of juice in front of the empty seat next to him, and then threw the ring into the glass. The orange juice completely covered the ring. From the outside, you can’t see it at all. There is nothing unusual about this glass of juice.

"Think about you guys." James Franco was a little complacent, "Will it be a surprise to drink a ring when Lily drinks juice? Then I propose to marry him, isn't it very romantic?"

Susan Downey was the first to nod, "It's much more creative than Robert Downey Jr. directly giving the ring."

Then, she turned around and said to Murphy, "Such a special way of proposing is sure to succeed."

Murphy smiled. This trick doesn't seem to be James Franco's original. He vaguely remembers that it was mentioned in a newspaper that a star whose name he had forgotten had asked his model girlfriend to marry him.

In any case, this is more creative than just taking out the ring, and James Franco really wants to surprise Lily Collins.

Putting the ring, James Franco said to Susan Downey, "Help me call Lily and ask her where she is."

Susan Downey took out her mobile phone, dialed Lily Collins' number, said a few words, hung up, and said to James Franco, "I've turned to Marina Boulevard. I guess it will take more than ten minutes. Arrived."

James Franco let out a sigh, it seemed that waiting like this made him a little nervous.

Murphy looked at James Franco and deliberately changed the subject so that Lily Collins would not be aware of the strange behavior of James Franco, and there would be no sense of surprise.

"Seth," Murphy asked the fat man next to him, "how is your script preparation."

The last time Seth Rogen brought up the concept of combining horror and comedy, he temporarily put aside his work as an actor and devoted himself to preparing this project. After constant overthrowing of ideas, he finally reached the stage of script creation.

"The outline is almost finished." Seth Rogen scratched his head, "but I think something is still wrong, I'm still adding it."

Murphy nodded, "I can't help much with comedy. When Jonah comes back, you can discuss it with him."

Seth Logan sighed, "He has already come up with some ideas, they are not very reliable."

"It's okay to write the script so that Jonah guy can stuff jokes in." James Franco shook his head, "It's okay to help out, let him give an idea, and the Zenith star will appear."

"That..." Seth Logan thought for a while, "Jonah's idea is okay, to turn the earth into hell, the good people automatically enter heaven, and the bad people all stay on the earth and suffer."

Dave Franco opened his mouth, "So don't we all stay on earth?"

Murphy shrugged, and then said, "Everyone in Hollywood must stay in the area."

At this time, the door of the restaurant was pushed open from the outside. Lily Collins, dressed in casual clothes, strode in. As she walked towards this side, she smiled and said hello, "Hello everyone, why are you here today? Morning."

With that, she walked quickly around the empty seat next to James Franco.
