A blockbuster film, as long as there is a possibility to continue, whether it is the production company or the participating brokerage companies, they will try their best to promote the sequel, not only in Hollywood, but in the film circles all over the world. The high risk that comes with it is inevitable. The sequel of a successful film has a higher possibility of profit, even several times higher.

For the "Sin City" movie, Murphy only intercepted three fragments of the comics. Frank Miller's comics consist of seven stories, and there are still a lot of content available for adaptation and filming.

All Hollywood film companies are commercial companies with the goal of making profits. There is no doubt about it. Now that "Sin City" is a big hit, it is normal for Miramax to want to put a sequel on the agenda.

But Bill Rossis let Murphy refuse, but he was a little surprised, after all, he had no special experience.

Murphy certainly didn't think that Bill Rossis was a prophet, let alone that his vision was so good.

"The timing is very inappropriate!" Bill Ross quickly gave his explanation, "As far as I know, the conflict between the management of Miramax and the group company Walt Disney is more acute, especially Wayne The conflict between the Stein brothers and Disney chairman Michael Eisner has become so acute that it cannot be reconciled. The Weinstein brothers want to take Miramax, which they created with one hand, away from Walt Disney, but Michael Eisner will never They will easily let them go, this battle has actually affected the overseas trip of "Sin City"..."

Murphy nodded slightly. He had also heard about the problems between the Weinstein brothers and Michael Eisner, but he didn't expect it to develop to this extent.

"The conflict between the Weinstein brothers and Michael Eisner could explode at any time," Bill Rossis continued, "and thus drag down the normal operation of Miramax. will be severely affected.”

The ability of the company to play a role in the success of a film is obvious.

Murphy thought for a while and said, "You find a suitable reason and reject the sequel cooperation."

He had a general impression that the Weinstein brothers did not lead Miramax, which they founded, to successfully separate from Walt Disney. In the end, the two brothers had to sell their shares in Miramax and re-established Weinstein Films This company.

No one can say whether the latecomers will pay attention to the project they left in Miramax.

Murphy worked so hard to appear in the current situation, such unnecessary risks will not be mixed indiscriminately.

We talked about Miramax again,

Murphy turned to ask, "Have you got the ticket for the Miss Universe contest?"

The Miss Universe contest in Malibu is about to be held. Although Murphy doesn't care about whether Gal Gadot can get a good ranking, and Gal Gadot doesn't care, it is still necessary to come to the scene to cheer .

"Grace has already been booked." Bill Rosses finished speaking, and suddenly suggested, "Murphy, Gail's appearance is very outstanding, you can persuade her to stay in Hollywood."

This is undoubtedly the most beneficial to Murphy, much better than her going back to Israel to study in university.

Murphy shook his head, "Let Gail make his own decision."

Of course he wants Gal Gadot to stay in Los Angeles, and he will do some persuasion in this regard. Even for studying, there are many suitable schools in Los Angeles, but he will not make decisions for her.

After all that should be said, Bill Rossis was about to leave, Murphy thought of another thing and asked, "I heard that Warner Bros. just changed netbsp; "It was changed a few weeks ago, probably the same as Kara Fei Smith entered a time period at Twentieth Century Fox. "Bill Rossis immediately asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in Warner Bros.? "

Murphy has never worked with Warner Bros. or a company affiliated with Warner Bros.

"Not interested," Murphy did not answer directly, "Help me collect some Warner Bros.; even though he didn't know Murphy's intentions, Bill Rosses nodded and agreed. , even caa's agent is no exception.

Just as Bill Rosses was being sent away, Murphy suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, this is Murphy Stanton."

"It's me, Murphy." The slightly hoarse voice sounded very familiar, "Do you have time, let's meet."

The other party didn't say who he was, but Murphy could tell that it was Rose's voice.

Since he bailed Rose out of the police station that time, the relationship between the two parties has been obviously estranged. The two paths are completely different, and they will only go further and further apart on different forked roads.

Moreover, Ross obviously cut off the idea of ​​laundering funds by investing in his film, and voluntarily severed contact.

"Where?" Murphy didn't think about it, and said directly, "I'll see you."

"Downtown, where we last had a beer together."

After hanging up the phone, Murphy specially called a taxi and took a ride to the city center. After moving out from there, he never went back.

What would happen to Ross looking for him? This is what Murphy thinks about the most.

He didn't think Ross would do him any harm. Although he rejected his request for money laundering, Ross didn't do anything substantive except for what he said, and after he was released on bail from the police station, Ross took the initiative to cut off contact with him. .

Others may think that Ross has completely severed ties with him, but Murphy doesn't think so. There is really no such thing as the so-called four irons here, but sometimes the friendship formed by fighting side by side in prison is still very reliable.

Murphy speculates that after seeing him becoming more and more successful in Hollywood, Ross knew that he might become his trouble, so he took the initiative to stay away...

It's a pity that it's too difficult for Ross to clean up, and it's not something he can do if he wants to. Murphy's predecessor grew up in a chaotic slum, and he knows that Ross can't solve the problem just by going up and down. The problem.

Moreover, Murphy would not believe that Ross controlled more than half of the market in the city center if there was no one in the police to help him, and these people would not allow Ross to wash his hands.

Murphy will not overestimate the quality of the American police. The fact that the world is as black as crows is not just a simple talk.

Shaking his head, Murphy no longer thinks about these things. With his current ability, he can't solve these problems. If he intervenes rashly, it will only add to the chaos.

The taxi was still far from the center of Los Angeles. Murphy's thoughts turned to Marvel Comics and DC Comics. For him, these two companies contained treasures. How could he get involved and divide the cake?

It is obviously not feasible to obtain the film copyrights of the super heroes of Marvel Comics. With his ability and wealth, it is even more like an ant swallowing an elephant if he wants to acquire Marvel Comics.

What about DC Comics? The appeal of the Big Three of justice is far stronger than that of Marvel's Avengers in the United States.

It's not easy to impress DC Comics and Warner Bros. From Murphy's own point of view, people are just a trap. His almost perfect setting is doomed to make it difficult for any director to come in. Master Bruce Wayne is fine. Where to go, Warner Bros. has refrigerated the series, and it will take more than drool to get them to reboot.

As for Princess Diana Prinz, when the feminist movement is far inferior to the future, shooting a superhero movie with a female protagonist, especially a superhero movie like Wonder Woman, which is known as the representative of feminism, is simply Suicide.

Thinking about these messy questions, Murphy got off the car near the Old China Town, walked towards a small alley, turned a corner, and came to a bar that was a bit broke, looked at the sign above, pushed the door walked in.

"Mr. Stanton,"

As soon as he entered the door, a black man with a bald head came over, "Boss is waiting for you inside."

Murphy still had an impression of him, nodded and entered the bar, and found Rose who was drinking alone in front of the long bar.

After pulling a high chair, Murphy sat down and said to the bartender, "A glass of dark beer."

Hearing this familiar voice, Rose turned his head and glanced at him, "Come here?"

The bartender pushed the glass full of dark beer over. Murphy picked up the glass and gestured to Rose. Rose's tattooed hand raised the glass in front of him and touched him.

The two took a sip each. Murphy put down the glass and found that there was a scar on Rose's face, but he didn't ask any more questions. For both him and Rose, the less he knew about some things, the better.

"There is something that you need to pay attention to." Ross didn't talk nonsense, and directly stated the purpose of finding him, "Someone is investigating you."

"Who?" Murphy was stunned for a moment and asked, "Paparazzi? Reporter? Police?"

"None." Ross shook his head and said, "A few days ago, my subordinates got news that someone went to investigate the community where you used to live, and then he had contact with the Vietnamese in the old Chinatown. Are there close ties between urban drug dealers?"

He picked up his glass and took a sip, "I've had someone check that man, he's a private detective."

Murphy frowned slightly, what did the private investigator do? If it was a media reporter, he wouldn't be surprised. Even if the Los Angeles police are still watching him, it's normal. What does the private investigator do?

"Someone is staring at you," Ross drank the wine in the glass, took out a hundred dollars and threw it on the counter, and stood up, "Be careful."

Murphy nodded, "Thank you."

Rose shook his head again, "You're starting to see outsiders."

Stretching out his hand, Murphy patted his arm lightly, "Then I won't say thank you."

Rose smiled and walked out of the bar without saying anything.

After drinking the beer in the glass, Murphy also left the bar, the taxi was still waiting outside, before he got in the car he called Bill Rossis, "I got news that a private detective is investigating me. "(To be continued.)
