"Boom..."

The champagne was opened, the bubbles spewed out, the goblets were filled one by one, and then Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen screamed, "Saturn Award for Best Horror Film! We won the Saturn Award for Best Horror Film!" Horror movie!"

The sound of their howling wolves kept echoing in the backyard. Fortunately, the residents here were relatively far apart, so Murphy didn't have to worry about affecting the neighbors for the time being.

James Franco sat on a chair by the pool, picked up a glass of champagne, touched Murphy who was sitting opposite, "Congratulations!"

Murphy gulped it down, "Congratulations!"

No matter what, he is in a good mood to win the award for the best horror film, which will also help him in the future.

The two guys, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen, are still howling, not to mention howling, and writhing by the pool while drinking.

In the completely new courtyard, there are two dirty-looking men going crazy, which looks like howling wolves in the middle of the night.

"You two!" Murphy reminded them loudly, "The anti-skid around the pool is not done, be careful not to fall!"

After all, this is a rented house. He simply cleaned it up a while ago, and he moved back from the hotel.

After returning from the Los Angeles Music Center, the four of them were in a good mood. They simply came here to have a small celebration party. They drank a lot of wine before, and Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen gradually passed the excitement. , came back and sat next to Murphy and James Franco.

The four drank a few more glasses, and Jonah Hill suddenly asked, "I heard that your studio will add a new investment department?"

"I can't just hang around in small productions." Murphy put down the goblet and shook his dizzy head, "Mainstream commercial productions require a lot of investment, so they must attract advertising sponsorship, and I also need someone who can pull advertising." department. But it’s just a preliminary idea right now.”

"What do you think of me?" Jonah Hill obviously drank too much, and said indiscriminately, "I will be the manager of the investment department for you?"

Murphy raised his eyebrows, "Jonah, I didn't hit you, would you sell?"

Jonah Hill patted the table, "Of course!"

"That's good!" Murphy rummaged in his pocket,

He took out a pen and threw it to Jonah Hill, "You sell it to me."

After taking the pen thrown by Murphy, Jonah Hill thought about it and said, "This is made by Parker..."

Murphy raised his hand and interrupted him, "It's too old-fashioned!"

Jonah Hill scratched his head, picked up a pen and put it in front of his eyes, not knowing how to continue.

Reaching for the pen, Murphy tossed it to James Franco and said, "Jim, sell it to me."

James Franco caught the pen, twirled it in his hand, suddenly picked up a napkin on the table, and handed it to Murphy, "Are you director Murphy Stanton? I like your movies very much, Can you sign it for me?"

Murphy touched his pocket, took the initiative to accept the pen that James Franco handed over again, "See? I need a pen now."

After speaking, he threw the pen on the table casually.

Jonah Hill blinked, probably understanding what Murphy meant.

But Murphy still said directly, "Even Jim is not suitable for this line of work. You all have talents as actors, and you are more suitable to directly participate in film production, rather than being a salesperson."

Seth Rogen picked up the champagne and refilled everyone, "Come on, let's continue celebrating!"

After another glass of wine, Jonah Hill hiccupped, "Today is a special moment for us, do you guys know that?"

Murphy and the others shook their heads, and he mysteriously took out a small bag from his trouser pocket, "I've expected that "Saw" will win awards, and I've specially prepared some things for celebration!"

"Dangdangdang..." He opened the small bag, and there were four white pills inside, "No one is allowed to snatch it, each person only has one!"

James Franco picked up one, put it in front of his eyes and looked carefully, "What is this?"

"******!" Jonah Hill picked up one and was about to throw it into his mouth, but was stopped by Murphy next to him, "Wait, Jonah, are you going to go crazy here? Plunge headfirst into the swimming pool and drown?"

"Uh..." Jonah Hill put the pill down again.

"You guys..." Murphy pointed at them, "Don't take drugs casually!"

Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen don't think so, and even James Franco doesn't care much.

Although a few people are friends, no one will listen to this kind of persuasion casually. This is Hollywood, where alcohol and drugs run rampant.

Murphy tried to persuade him. Seeing that the three guys didn't listen at all, they didn't bother to say anything. They stood up and announced, "The party is over, you can go to other places to take drugs."

"Hey! You guys are too disrespectful, aren't you?" Jonah Hill yelled dissatisfiedly, "Just kick us out like this?"

Murphy stood up and walked towards the main building, leaving only one last sentence of advice, "Life is precious, be careful when taking drugs!"

The party was over, and Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, and James Franco left here together. Murphy sent them out and explained, "It doesn't matter if you don't listen to me, but You have to find a suitable place for taking drugs, don’t let me go to the police station to pick up people tomorrow.”

"You're so wordy!" The three waved their hands and left.

Murphy shook his head, closed the door, and prepared to go back to rest. He couldn't say anything about this kind of thing. The whole circle was like this, and the drug was just a relatively low-level drug popular in Hollywood.

This drug is mainly used clinically for insomnia, and it can become addictive if used for a long time. It is banned in most countries and regions around the world.

Murphy himself doesn't touch these things, but after being in Hollywood for so long, it's not surprising that such things happen a lot. In fact, not only the stars in front of the scene, but also many behind-the-scenes people are also using this drug, and quite a few people will also use it with Used together with alcohol, the drug can be enhanced by alcohol, has a delirium-like ability, and acts as a substitute for hallucinations.

Taking dioxins in small doses will cause the user to enter a state of extreme nervousness and excitement from a depressed state. Long-term use of dioxins will lead to dependence and drug addiction.

He just woke up the next day, and Murphy didn't care about his head discomfort after being drunk, so he hung up on the three guys first, and he was relieved when he heard that they were all at James Franco's house. After a simple wash, he went out to have breakfast, and drove to the Death Star Building in Century City as previously agreed.

"Hi, Director Stanton."

As soon as he walked out of the elevator, a CAA staff member approached him. When he saw him, he immediately stopped and greeted him warmly. Murphy nodded and walked past him to Bill Rossis at the end of the corridor. office.

In the middle, I met two unnamed agents who greeted Murphy warmly, as if they were their most important clients.

Murphy gradually walked away, but the two managers talked in a low voice.

"That guy Bill has gone so far that he has a client like Murphy Stanton."

"Don't you think Bill Rossis is average? The current position is entirely because he is Murphy Stanton's agent!"

"Yeah, the first time you operate the company's packaging project, you can get huge profits. I don't think Bill Rossis is doing so well, but the film directed by Murphy Stanton is full of selling points! Even if it is changed to You and I operate "Planet Terror", as long as the director is Murphy Stanton, we can also make a profit..."

Murphy walked to Bill Rossis' suite office, and an assistant immediately opened the door for him.

Bill Rosses, who was sitting behind the desk, stood up and walked over, "I thought you'd be here later, just sit down."

He asked his assistant to make coffee, and sat with Murphy on the two single sofas separated by the coffee table, "Didn't you have a party last night?"

Murphy rubbed his forehead, "It's over in less than one o'clock. I drink too much wine, and I don't feel well in the morning."

"I heard that you won the best horror film," Bill Rosses said with a smile, "The company executives called me early this morning. If you need any support in the future, just ask."

Although the North American box office of "Planet Terror" is far lower than that of "Saw", the revenue has also exceeded expectations. It can be regarded as a box office success. A director who can continue to succeed will naturally be more valued by the brokerage company.

At this time, the female assistant came in with two cups of coffee, put one cup each in front of Murphy and Bill Rosses, and backed out.

"Well, it smells so good." Murphy sniffed it, "It looks pretty good."

"A gift from a friend in Jamaica." Bill Rossis said to the outside of the office, "Nancy, prepare a pack of the newly arrived coffee for Murphy."

Just now he just casually said politely, and Murphy didn't refuse, "Thank you."

The two then turned to the topic, and Bill Rossi pointed to a box in the corner of the office and said, "This is a letter from a movie fan sent to you in the mail room. There are many crazy admirers in it. Do you want to read it?" ?”

Murphy shook his head, "I don't have time, don't you have a department that handles these?"

Bill Rosses understood what Murphy meant, and suggested, "Then I'll hand it over to Grace?"

"You guys deal with it," Murphy didn't care about this matter, after all, he is a director, not a star in front of the screen, "It's best to choose some replies."

"I know how to do it." Bill Rossis nodded.

After talking about these trivial matters, Murphy changed the subject, "How about the things I asked you to check a while ago? How are the copyrights distributed?"

"The copyright of comics is mainly in the hands of DC," Bill Rosses frowned, "If you want to impress DC, you only need to bid high enough, but DC had an agreement with the original author. If you want to adapt a movie, you must With the consent of the original author!"

He sighed, "You know, that guy is tough."

"Leave it to me for the time being." Murphy thought for a while, "You can help me find out where he will appear recently. If it doesn't work, I will visit Manhattan." (To be continued.)
