Hollywood Road

In January and February of each year, the entertainment media in North America are not all Oscars. Entertainment news related to the Oscars is also absolutely super popular. For example, this year’s "Diego-Ros" and "The Artist" are the targets of countless media reports. , Is also recognized as the two most likely big winners at this year's Oscars.

Coupled with the fact that 20th Century Fox and Weinstein Pictures have contributed to their own films, the two films "Diego Rose" and "The Artist" are undoubtedly the most concerned and happy entertainment media after the Oscar-nominated luncheon. The object of the report.

However, just one day near the end of January, the entertainment media suddenly turned the wind, and the front page was full of news about two people.

Even Murphy, who had just returned to Los Angeles from New York and was extremely busy at work, took the time to pay attention.

"The Director of The Matrix Transgender Wachowski brothers and sisters!"

This is the headline on the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times that Gal Gadot gave him after returning home at night.

"The Wachowski brothers, who directed "The Matrix" and other wonderful movies, have changed **** successively. From the Wachowski brothers to the Wachowski sisters and brothers, and then evolved into the Wachowski sisters, it really makes people feel emotional. The roles of life are changing, and the lives of these two people are too rich and wonderful."

Are they sisters? Murphy didn't remember it very clearly, except that the brothers later became siblings.

He was inevitably curious about this kind of thing, and continued to look down.

"The Wachowski brothers are well-known directors who have directed classic movies such as "The Matrix". It is a big touch in the hearts of movie fans, but the two have always been troubled by their physical and psychological gender. In 2009, the two brothers His elder brother underwent gender reassignment surgery to become a woman and changed his name to Lana Wachowski. A few days ago, his younger brother Andy Wachowski issued a statement announcing that he was transgendered into a woman like his sister Lana Wachowski."

If it is a tabloid newspaper, Murphy will think it is a deliberate hype, but this is the Los Angeles Times, and the possibility of such a message being false is still relatively small.

"The original Wachowski brothers, the former Wachowski brothers and sisters, are now Wachowski sisters. In the filming of the film "Cloud Atlas", the brother of the brothers changed **** and changed his name to Lana. Now his brother Andy changed his name. Lily, this name is said to echo Lily Elby, the first transgender person in the world."

This Lily Alby was familiar, as if she had watched it in a movie. Murphy frowned and thought for a while, but she couldn't think of the source, so she simply gave up, and had no interest in looking down, and turned the newspaper to the other side. Found an article about Margot Robbie.

He looked at it roughly, it should be a touted gun article, Margot Robbie won the nomination for best supporting actress, although knowing that he is unlikely to win, but there are also public relations actions.

"Margot Robbie-this post-90s star from Australia has a mature face that is slightly inconsistent with her age, and has a very aggressive charm."

Since it was about his friend and Gal Gadot's best friend, Murphy simply read it carefully.

"In recent years, Margot Robbie has completely bid farewell to the title of'Vase' by virtue of the successive collaborations with the great director Murphy Stanton, and has released "City of Chaos" and "Diego Rose" this year. In both films, there are very brilliant performances. Now, who would dare to say that this Australian country chick who used to be **** and brave enough to break into Hollywood has some eye-catching appearances?"

Gal Gadot walked over at this moment, sat next to Murphy, leaned over and glanced at the newspaper, and said, "Maggie should have spent a lot of money. I will ask her tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Are you not going to work?" Murphy asked curiously.

"I gave myself a day off." Gal Gadot hugged Murphy from the side, resting his forehead on his shoulder, and said, "I asked Maggie to come home for lunch."

Murphy thought about his schedule, "I may not have time. There will be a Twentieth Century Fox press conference at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"It's okay, Maggie is not a guest." Gal Gadot yawned and said, "It's enough to have me."

"Yeah." Murphy nodded.

Gal Gadot pointed to the newspaper, "Don't take it, keep reading."

Murphy adjusted the newspaper to a position that was convenient for him to read with Gal Gadot, and continued to read the praise article about Margot Robbie.

"Australian girls rush to Hollywood!"

Glancing at this subtitle, Gal Gadot said, "Is Maggie going to preach the history of her efforts?"

"Although he grew up in a single-parent family, Margot Robbie grew up under the care of her family since she was a child. Her mother is a small Australian farmer and raised four children alone. Margot Robbie is the oldest Third, in addition to her brother, sister, and younger brother, there are two cows who accompanied her to grow up. At the age of 16, Margot Robbie played three jobs at the same time in order to share the financial burden of the family, working 17 hours a day. At the age of 17. After graduating from the Somerset Theatre School in Australia in 1988, Margot Robb moved to Los Angeles without hesitation and started a career as a professional actor.

"Back then, someone commented on her like this,'Too beautiful, so beautiful that such actors are often not popular'. However, this post-90s girl must be the best one even if she is a vase. In the next few years, She has worked diligently in various types of films. Regardless of the role size, she collaborates with big names like Murphy Stanton, James Franco and Robert Downey Jr...."

Seeing this, Murphy is no longer interested. This kind of public relations article is basically a routine, first emphasizing how difficult life was before the actor became famous, and then showing how hard he worked, and don’t mind exposing himself. Short way to create topics that attract people to watch.

The self-promotion of Hollywood stars of ordinary origin is basically this kind of routine.

"That's right," Gal Gadot said suddenly, "I have known Maggie for so many years, sometimes, she always thinks she is weird."

"What's weird?" Murphy asked curiously, "Why didn't I see it?"

"You?" Gal Gadot shook his head, "Maggie is like a good girl in front of you, how can you see it."

Murphy lowered her head and kissed her, and recalled many things since she met Margot Robbie. She felt that she was normal and nothing special. If you had to say something special, it was when Margot Robbie was old. He looks like a cowboy and looks like a tomboy.

"The wildness she cultivated since childhood has not been removed." Murphy analyzed to Gal Gadot, "It's all hidden in my heart, and maybe it will show up in front of you sometimes. After all, you are her best friend. "

Gal Gadot thought for a while, thought Murphy's analysis was reasonable, and said, "It might be the case."

She checked the time and pulled Murphy up from the living room sofa. "It's late, let's go and rest."

Murphy dropped the newspaper and dragged Gal Gadot to the stairs. After walking a few steps, Gal Gadot seemed to have thought of something. As he walked, he said, "I saw a project recently. If it works well, it may succeed."

"What project?" Murphy asked back.

He knows that Gal Gadot has been in this circle for a long time, and he also has some ideas about movies, let alone her, even Margot Robbie has started to work as a producer in some small projects starring him. Up.

Gal Gadot said directly, "The Silmarillion! I have been following the developments of The Hobbit recently, thinking that we might have the opportunity to get the Silmarillion from Tolkien’s son. "The film adaptation rights."

Murphy asked, "The copyright of the Silmarillion movie is not in the hands of Peter Jackson?"

"No." Gal Gadot followed Murphy upstairs. "He finished the adaptation of the "Lord of the Rings" series, and reached a copyright agreement for "The Hobbit" with many companies, but the copyright of the Silmarillion has always In the hands of Tolkien's son Christopher Tolkien."

She knows that Murphy likes this series very much. She has said several times that the biggest regret in her life is that she missed the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

The two went up to the second floor, without entering the room, they stood by the porch and continued discussing the topic.

Gal Gadot said in detail, “Due to the poor reputation of The Hobbit, Christopher Tolkien announced in London a few days ago that he refused to transfer the copyright of the Silmarillion, especially not allowing Peter Jackson to continue. Shoot this series.

Murphy nodded. The "The Hobbit" series may become the final piece of Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" series. It will be very difficult for the New Zealand fat man to get the copyright of the Silmarillion.

Murphy has naturally read the original work of "The Lord of the Rings" or "Silmaranth".

"The Silmarillion" is a mythical epic carefully polished by the original author Tolkien for 60 years. It is the beginning of everything in Middle-earth. Compared with the "childishness and lightness" of "The Hobbit", "The Silmarillion" The atmosphere is beautiful, magnificent and magnificent, which is more in line with the positioning of the mature audience market.

Why didn't you make such a good story? Fans are inevitably disappointed, right?

In Murphy's view, the style of "Scarlet of the Rings" is still different from that of "Lord of the Rings". This can be said to be a harsh, sad, meticulously conceived and beautiful book, full of heroism and hope.

When this series is shot, there is certainly no shortage of market and audience.

"Let's do it, Gail." Murphy quickly made a decision. "You contact Christopher Tolkien to see if there is any hope."

If you can get the best, if you can't get it, there is no loss.

Gal Gadora picked up Murphy and went into the bedroom. "My dear, I have prepared some very special programs tonight."
