Suddenly, Murphy saw a topic that could continue the conversation. If two people who just met had no common topic, it would be very embarrassing to stand together, and they wouldn't stay together for long.

He followed Gal Gadot's words and asked, "Why? I think "Chicago" is very good. Whether it is the song and dance arrangement or the black humor in it, it is extremely well done. It can even be said that the last two decades of singing and dancing The pinnacle of the film."

"Compared to "The Pianist"?" Gail Gadot obviously disagreed with Murphy's words, "Do you think "Chicago" is more eligible for the award than "The Pianist"? Roman Polanski's masterpiece of art, Couldn't it be better than a film adaptation of a Broadway opera?"

Obviously, she has a certain understanding of the film industry, but this understanding is only superficial.

"Yes!" Murphy shrugged slightly, "I think "Chicago" is more qualified to win the best picture statuette than "The Pianist"!"

Gal Gadot next to her was obviously surprised by Murphy's answer, and a sentence Murphy couldn't understand suddenly popped out of her mouth, probably in her native Hebrew.

Then, Gal Gadot realized that he had said the wrong thing, and switched back to English with an accent, "Why?"

Without waiting for Murphy to answer, she continued, ""The Pianist" reflects a piece of real history! It reproduces the tragic experience of a nation in the past! It is also a flogging of Nazi extremists! Isn't such a film good enough? Is it? Or is it that you are an American director, and you are partial to American movies in your heart?"

"Of course not!" Murphy immediately denied.

Gal Gadot turned to look at him, as if waiting for a reasonable explanation.

Murphy pointed to the empty table just now, "Let's go over there and sit down and talk."

Gently moving her high-heeled feet, Gal Gadot also felt that her legs were a little tired. After a little hesitation, she nodded.

The two walked to the table, and Murphy took the initiative to pull out a chair for her. After Gal Gadot sat down, he waved to a not far away and called a waiter over.

"Two glasses of water," Murphy specifically urged, "don't add any drinks, thank you."

Gal Gadot glanced at him. The tall, athletic young director seemed attentive.

The waiter quickly delivered water glasses,

Gal Gadot picked up the water glass and took a sip, continued the topic just now, and urged, "Why do you say that "Chicago" should win the best picture more than "The Pianist", there is always a reason?"

She still has a girlish youthfulness that cannot be concealed on her face, but she is full of interest in the film industry in her words.

Murphy didn't answer, but instead asked, "Gail, why do you think "The Pianist" deserves the award more?"

Unknowingly, he was pulling the relationship between the two closer.

Gal Gadot's focus was all on the topic, and he didn't care about it. When he heard Murphy's question, he immediately said, "Didn't I just say that "The Pianist" reflected a story that will never be heard in the most authentic way. The history that should not be forgotten has also nailed the Nazis to the pillar of shame forever, and it is also a testimony to the strong survival of a nation!"

When it comes to the Nazis, she gritted her teeth, as expected of being educated in Israel.

Having said that, Murphy also understood that Gal Gadot just mixed his personal feelings and likes and dislikes into it.

"Gail, your words are biased," Murphy did not agree with the so-called reasons she said, "The film that reflects a history that should never be forgotten in the most authentic way should win the award? The Nazis will be nailed forever." The films on the pillar of shame will be awarded the statuettes as a matter of course? Films that testify to the strong survival of a nation must be the choice of the Oscar judges?"

He shook his head, and just about to continue, Gal Gadot suddenly said, "What do you mean?"

There was a hint of vigilance in her bright eyes, "Don't you think the suffering of the Jews is not worthy of recognition?"

"Of course not!" Murphy didn't expect this young girl to be as sensitive as some traditional Jews, so he said quickly, "Gail, I'm just discussing the facts."

In Hollywood, although it is much better than the glass heart of black people, but the persecution paranoia of Jews...

Murphy shook his head indistinctly, and said, "No one can deny that period of history, right? What we are discussing now is the 75th Oscar for Best Picture, not the past period of history."

Perhaps because of historical reasons, some Jews are too sensitive, and the girl opposite seems to be the same.

Gal Gadot put away the sudden thorn, nodded and said, "Director Stanton..."

"Murphy," he said emphatically, "call me Murphy."

"Murphy," Gal Gadot did not insist, and continued, "Stop being a secret, tell me your reason."

Her slightly green face was facing Murphy, which was full of urging.

"The success of a film is not only related to the film itself, but also closely related to the social situation in which it is located." Murphy did not let her continue to wait, and gave his own reasons, "From the perspective of the social environment , Less than two years have passed since 9/11, the war in Afghanistan is still burning, and the United States has experienced too much cruelty and pain, a movie that is equally cruel can easily arouse these painful memories, but what about "Chicago"?"

He smiled and said, "Singing and dancing, comedy, sarcasm, cheerfulness... It is an adaptation of a famous traditional play, and the quality is guaranteed. It is more pleasing to the Oscar judges than cruelty."

"But "The Pianist" still won the best director!" Gal Gadot retorted.

"As you said," Murphy reminded, "Roman Polanski was a Jew, and "The Pianist" reflects Jewish history."

He spread his hands, "You may not want to hear the following words, but it is a fact recognized by all Hollywood."

Gal Gadot didn't seem to care, "Go ahead, I don't mind."

"As we all know, the Jewish influence in Hollywood is quite large," Murphy said lightly, "With the support of many Jewish judges, it is not too difficult to ensure that Roman Polanski wins the Oscar for Best Director."

"But this is the Oscars..." Gal Gadot didn't quite believe Murphy's words, "The Oscars..."

"Should it be fair and just?" Murphy smiled and shook his head, "Oscar judges are also human, and they will be affected if they are human. Oscar is not just a competition for the film itself, but also a film company from promotion to distribution to public relations. Otherwise, how could Harvey's company have won so many Oscars in recent years? He is a recognized public relations master in the Hollywood circle!"

He looked at Gal Gadot who was thinking, and said, "The best director and best actor can be given to Roman Polanski and Adrien Brody, but the public relations of "The Pianist" are not good. It’s not very powerful, even if the judges are partial, it’s impossible to give all the cake to this film, you have to share a piece with others, right?”

"Among others, "Chicago" is the favorite of the judges," Gal Gadot gradually understood what Murphy meant, "and the best public relations?"

"That's it." Murphy nodded slightly, "This is my personal understanding."

Gal Gadot thought for a while and said, "It makes sense."

Murphy shrugged. Ever since Harvey Weinstein and Miramax joined the Oscar competition, several heavyweight Oscar competitions have become a public relations feast. It can even be said that public relations may not win awards, not public relations. Definitely won't win the prize.

"Are you interested in the film industry?" Murphy asked suddenly.

Gal Gadot did not deny, "I am a little interested, but now I want to finish this competition as soon as possible."

Murphy picked up his water glass and took a sip, "If you want to enter Hollywood, you will have many natural advantages over others."

"Because I'm a Jew?" Gal Gadot is not stupid, and it's not difficult to analyze this from Murphy's previous words, "will be taken care of by many people?"

"I can't talk about taking care of you," Murphy shook his head, "but under the same conditions, many crews and companies will give you priority."

This is almost a clear rule in Hollywood, and Jewish actors get more opportunities in Hollywood.

Of course, non-Jews like Murphy would not like this at all.

"Are you interested in going to Hollywood?" Murphy asked again.

Hearing this, Gal Gadot showed vigilance again, "Do you think I'm very talented?"

At the party tonight, a few people who claimed to be directors approached her and said that they thought she was very talented in acting, suitable for a certain role in their crew...

Gal Gadot is not stupid, and people like Avi Niwo reminded that they naturally know that their so-called talent is fake, and that they are interested in her body is real.

In the discussion just now, she somewhat liked the young director in front of her. Avi Niwo said that Hollywood is a place full of lies.

Looking at it now, it seems that he is not much different from those other people...

Murphy is very interested in this girl, otherwise he would not have come over to strike up a conversation. What he just said is also his true opinion. When Gal Gadot asked about talent, his answer was no exception.

"We just chatted for a while, and I haven't seen your performance," Murphy shook his head again, "I'm not sure about your acting talent, but..."

He looked at Gal Gadot's face that fit his own aesthetics very well, "I'm sure of one thing, if you become an actor, because of this pretty enough face, most people will be classified as vases without acting skills, And it's very hard to get away with that kind of designation, especially if you've been in a beauty pageant."

No one would be happy to hear that she was described as a vase, and Gal Gadot was no exception, but the other party praised her appearance openly and secretly, which made her feel better unconsciously.

She took a deep look at Murphy, as if trying to see through his purpose. (To be continued.)
