"This is the entertainment channel of Fox Television Network. I am your old friend Benjamin Draxler. I sent you a live report from the Chinese Theater in Hollywood in Los Angeles."

Standing in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, Benjamin Draxler continued to the camera with the theater's main entrance and a poster of the Hollywood Hills as the background, and said, "Today is November 17, and it is getting closer and closer to Thanksgiving "The End of the World" chose to be released on the weekend before Thanksgiving, which also shows the strong confidence of the filmmakers."

There was a cheer on the red carpet. Benjamin Draxler turned his head and glanced, seeing that he was not a big star, and continued, "This R-Class directed by Seth Rogen and starring all Stanton members The sci-fi comedy is holding its world premiere in Los Angeles. We have already shown a video of Stanton’s party members walking on the red carpet. In addition to Murphy Stanton and his cadres, there is also Emma Watson on the scene. , Rihanna and other guest stars came to help. In addition, the important figure of News Corporation James Murdoch and his stepmother Wendy Deng also attended the premiere...The film will be officially released in North America tomorrow."

Under the guidance of Benjamin Draxler, the camera lens moved slowly and finally aimed at the active area in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

He said in conjunction with the screen, "At the premiere, Seth Logan, a member of the Stanton Party, who directed, edited and acted, appeared with his new girlfriend Lauren Miller, and Ai, who had a wonderful spoof performance in the film Stars such as Mar Watson, Paul Rudd, and Jay Baruchel also came to the scene, and the famous director Murphy Stanton appeared to help."

The camera swept over Murphy and turned to Emma Watson.

Benjamin Draxler's voice-over continues, "'Little Witch' Emma Watson's short hair bob style this time, showing a beautiful face is very amazing, and a tube top pants suit is also very unique, in front of the camera Laughing, **** and cute..."

"What's more interesting..." Benjamin Draxler added, "All the stars in this film appear as real people, Emma Watson, Nicholas Cage, Paul Luther, David -Kreholtz and the **** pop star Rihanna will appear in the film as a spoof."

Just as the reporter named Benjamin Draxler said, the premiere scene was star-studded. In addition to the Stanton party members headed by Murphy, there were also stars from all walks of life.

Murphy and the crew stood for a group photo in front of the sponsor billboard. After the photo was over, Emma Watson came over and said, "Murphy, can you take a photo together?"

"Of course." Murphy responded with a smile.

Gal Gadot took the initiative to leave the billboard.

Perhaps Murphy’s reputation is strong enough, and getting to know a director may also bring some unexpected benefits. In addition to Emma Watson, Paul Rudd, Rihanna and Nicholas Cage also came to join Murphy separately. shadow.

After taking the photo, Murphy was blocked by several reporters just after he left here.

"Director Stanton, this is Benjamin Draxler from Fox Entertainment Channel..."

Because of being subordinate to Twentieth Century Fox, Benjamin Draxler easily occupied the position most conducive to the interview and sent the microphone to Murphy, "Can you talk about your performance in the film "The End of the World" ?"

Murphy thought for a moment, and repeated the old saying, "In this movie, we all have to show different levels and different orientations of our personalities. This seems to be crazy enough. At the same time, we I have to follow Logan’s request and make a display of jokes. My behavior in the film is completely different from my own habits, although I am playing myself in this film. This sounds crazy, The actual situation is that this movie is so crazy. Maybe we will have a bit of so-called self-awareness, but in this movie, this awareness does not exist at all. Everything is in the service of jokes and stories."

Some reporters wanted to ask questions, but Murphy waved his hand, and immediately security personnel came over to separate him from the reporter.

Murphy looked around and didn't see Gal Gadot. She should have gone in first, and went into the Hollywood Theater with Robert Downey Jr. and Paul Rudd who came over.

The latter is a member of the "Rotten Boys Gang". At the invitation of Robert Downey Jr. to participate in this film, Murphy heard Robert Downey Jr. mentioned that Marvel Pictures has determined that Paul Luther will serve as the "Ant The actor of "People".

Entering the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, due to the early time, most of the guests chatted in the front hall, like this kind of occasion, it is a good place to socialize.

The Stanton followers were naturally the focus of the front hall, Murphy also walked over, and Gal Gadot was talking with Seth Rogen’s female companion.

"Seth, you fellow..."

Before getting closer, Murphy heard the voice of Jonah Hill Hing, "You have a girlfriend, so you didn't tell us."

James Franco also seemed to be angry, "I'm so disappointed in you!"

Seth Logan opened his hand, just about to say something, Robert Downey Jr. walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead, Logan, do you want to become Wolverine? Or do you want to become the Phantom Cat? ?"

Murphy ignored these ill-behaved guys and greeted Lauren Miller first.

Lauren Miller shook hands with Murphy and saw that Seth Logan was besieged by Robert Downey Jr., Jonah Hill and James Franco and couldn’t speak at all. He quickly stood up for his own man. Friends relieved.

"It's not Logan's fault," she said with a smile. "We only confirmed the relationship last month. I told him not to make it public."

In fact, Lauren Miller is not a stranger. People like Murphy have known her for a long time. She was one of the filmmakers when Seth Rogen was filming "The Hangover."

"Lauren Miller is more than just a producer."

Just as Robert Downey Jr. and Lauren Miller greeted him, Gal Gadot came to Murphy and said in a low voice, “I’m still an actor and screenwriter. Shot by Focus Pictures."

Murphy nodded slightly. He had heard of Lauren Miller.

The Stanton members had their own social networks and gradually dispersed. When there was no one else with Murphy, James Murdoch came over and greeted Murphy and Gal Gadot.

"How is the post-production of the new film?" James Murdoch asked.

"It's the final stage." Murphy gave an answer that would reassure investors, "It will definitely not delay the December screening."

Compared to the film that is obviously not very commercial, James Murdoch is more concerned about the other one and asks, "What about the sequel of "City of Chaos"? When can we start preparations?"

Murphy thought for a while and said, "April and May next year."

James Murdoch thought of Murphy's habits and asked, "Then the 2013 summer file can be released?"

"Um..." Murphy didn't hide it. "I exchanged opinions with Carla Faith, and the summer vacation in 2013 was a good start."

Hearing what he said, James Murdoch relaxed, and suddenly changed his words, "Murphy, my father likes your films very much. At the end of this year, do you have time to go to New York for the New Year's dinner? My father has always wanted to see you. What about you."

Murphy could hear that this was a very sincere invitation. He pondered for a moment and was about to answer. A woman's voice suddenly sounded to the left of James Murdoch, "If Director Stanton intends to participate, I can send a private jet. Come and pick you up."

James Murdoch turned his head in the direction of the sound, and immediately frowned.

At the same time, Murphy's gaze was cast over, and a black-haired woman in a red sequined deep V evening dress came over.

She nodded to James Murdoch blankly, and then went straight to Murphy, with a smile on her face, and proactively stretched out her right hand, "Hello, Director Stanton, I have long wanted to meet you. Unfortunately, there has been no chance."

Murphy shook her right hand lightly, "Hello, Ms. Deng, it's nice to meet you."

"Call me Wendy." Wendy Deng smiled warmly. "My friends call me that."

James Murdoch said, "I've already prepared a private jet for Murphy, so I won't work Wendy for you."

Wendy squinted at James Murdoch, "I remember you were flying to London to attend the hearing this time? London is very troublesome. It is estimated that you will not be able to deal with it in a while. You still use mine. Airplane."

The hidden content of this remark may not be understood by others, but Murphy understands that now News Corp’s "eavesdropping door" incident is getting more and more intense, and the target is directed at James Murdoch. Several hearings held by the British side all named them. News Corp must let James Murdoch attend.

"It's just a small matter in the UK." James Murdoch's expression remained unchanged, and continued, "I can fly to the UK, and the private jet is reserved for Murphy.

He seems to be using this way to convey his importance to Murphy.

"That's good..." Wendy Deng is obviously not a simple character, "I will inform your father and let your father make the decision."

As soon as these words came out, James Murdoch's face was a bit bad for an instant.

Murphy looked at James Murdoch, then at Wendy Deng, and he understood.

"Wendy, James..." He said with a smile, "Don't bother. I'm still not sure about the itinerary for the end of the year. If I'm lucky enough to attend News Corp's New Year's dinner, I'll go by myself."

He has no interest in the contradiction between James Murdoch and Wendy Deng, let alone the power struggle within News Corp.
