Hollywood Road

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the valley area was completely quiet. Murphy and Gal Gadot saw off the last batch of guests and returned to the living room of the main building. There was a rustling sound from the backyard. It was the cleaning staff of the party company. When cleaning and tidying up the backyard, they will restore the backyard to its original appearance as quickly as possible, unlike the arrangement that took all day.

Gal Gadot walked over to the back window, opened the curtains, took a look, and said, "They're very professional."

"Grace is looking for the best party company in the circle. She is watching from behind. There is nothing to worry about." Murphy walked over, stood behind Gal Gadot, and looked out the window, "Don't worry , They will leave by themselves when they're done, let's go take a shower and rest."

"Yeah." Gal Gadot nodded.

When they came to the upstairs room, the two of them took a shower together. Gal Gadot sat in front of the dressing table and dried his hair. Murphy sat in front of the workbench with notebooks and easels again, looking at the work written a few days ago. Something, looking for a coherent train of thought interrupted by the sudden appearance of A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones.

This is the new project he talked about to James Franco.

The copyright negotiation for "A Song of Ice and Fire" is still going on, and it is impossible to complete it in a short period of time. Even if the copyright is successfully obtained, the production of TV series will be very cumbersome, especially such fantasy series.

Murphy doesn't have a TV station, and Kara Firth, who really has a relationship with the TV station, has left Fox News long ago. Her previous relationship has basically stayed in the current affairs news industry, and she is separated from TV production and broadcasting. A thicker wall.

Just like a movie, TV series are not produced by you, and the TV station will come to grab the scalp. Even if the quality of the TV series is good enough, it is useless. Almost all new American TV series have to go through a trial broadcast, and the response to the trial broadcast is too great Bad, that basically means that no one will care.

Although Murphy doesn't have much research on American dramas, he also knows that the quality and evaluation of American dramas are excellent, but the ratings are so poor that they are cut off. There are also countless.

"A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" is a long-term plan for him and Stanton Studio, and there is no rush.

"Murphy." Gal Gadot over there turned off the hair dryer and asked, "You seem to have an opinion on Nat."

She could more or less see that her boyfriend didn't seem to like her new friend very much.

"I just met her, what can I think?" Murphy decided to remind Gal Gadot, "Her personal style is somewhat polarized in the circle, and it is a more polarized kind."

Gal Gadot walked over with her long hair loose, and looked at Murphy suspiciously, not quite understanding what he meant.

Murphy shrugged, "Some people in the circle, just like ordinary movie fans, think she is beautiful, elegant, intellectual and clean, and she is a typical good girl with super abilities."

This is also Gal Gadot's view. In the relationship between the two, the impression Natalie Portman gave her was all these advantages.

"What about the rest of the people?" she asked.

"On the contrary." Murphy just said something in general.

Apart from some news he had seen on the Internet, he had also heard some rumors about Natalie Portman. In fact, it can be summed up in one sentence - Our Lady of the White Lotus.

"Oh?" What Gal Gadot lacked was experience, and he was not stupid at all. He knew that Murphy was never the kind of person who liked to tell tales. He frowned slightly, showing a bit of thinking.

She simply pulled a chair over and sat behind Murphy, watching him typing on the keyboard while recalling every scene with Natalie Portman.

Some scenes of the two getting along flashed through their minds one by one. Gal Gadot found that Natalie Portman was so perfect. Such a perfect woman was even easier than her own powerful mother. win people's favor.

Mother is an extremely clever and cunning old fox...

Glancing back, seeing Gal Gadot thinking, Murphy was basically relieved, no matter what kind of person Natalie Portman is, as long as Gail can be vigilant, she will You won't suffer too much.

However, the name Natalie Portman can't help but remind Murphy that when he lived on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, a group of very strange Hollywood stars were in a very strange situation there. Strictly speaking, Natalie Tully Portman can be more or less involved.

Jessica Alba and Avril Lavigne are the most typical representatives of these stars, who are so popular in the Pacific Ocean, far beyond the North American region they depend on.

Natalie Portman has also greatly surpassed her status in Hollywood, and the reason is the role of Matilda.

The role in "Killer Leon" has a huge influence in Europe and East Asia. On the other hand, in North America, it has not been very popular. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the type criticized by the mainstream media. Natalie- Portman himself seldom mentioned his first official movie role, and occasionally mentioned words like 'regret'.

Since the appearance of the role of Matilda, quite a number of media and audiences in North America have regarded her as a synonym for women and Lolita for a long time. Natalie Portman would definitely avoid it. If she were an ambitious and promising Hollywood actor, she probably wouldn't mention her own childhood. From the public's point of view, these sewage splashes are not unreasonable.

Different cultural and social environments from country to country tend to create such starkly different situations.

It can be said that there are many cases of Hollywood stars becoming more popular than mainstream European and American audiences in Greater China, and some are even very extreme. Murphy once saw a typical case on the Internet, because he starred in "The Avengers" The relationship between Rocky in "Alliance", Tom Hiddleston, known as Dowson, has won the support of many Marvel fans. When he and Taylor Swift made a pair, the Marvel fans turned out to be huge To the heated discussion on Weibo that Taylor Swift's status and fame in the United States are not worthy of Tom Hiddleston...

At that time, Murphy was quite speechless. Even if he didn't know much about the pop music industry in North America, he knew that Taylor Swift was already one of the top players at that time.

The fact is that in terms of career, achievement, wealth accumulation and fame, etc., women crush men horribly. In the Forbes Celebrity Wealth List released that year, Taylor Swift ranked first with an absolute advantage. What is the first concept? Excluding those bigwigs in the business circle, world celebrities across many circles of sports, entertainment and culture, Taylor Swift's total income is the first, not to mention Tom Sheard, who can barely be classified as the second-tier ranks of Hollywood. Ruston, also pressing Leonardo DiCaprio, Messi, Ronaldo, LeBron James, Roger Federer, Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady...

Don't take these things too seriously, after all, that couple looks like a self-written and self-directed PR love affair.

Thinking of this, Murphy couldn't help being distracted, and his typing hand stopped automatically. Of course, he knew that the rumors about Natalie Portman might also be false. The bad things that happen in Hollywood because of jealousy and envy are very If there are many, there must be more right and wrong around when a person is popular.

For example, since "Sin City" and "Deadpool", there are not many voices saying that he and Robert Downey Jr. are a pair of drug friends, and have an unclear relationship with Los Angeles drug dealers?

There is always gossip around every celebrity.

Murphy reminded Gal Gadot that it was just for her to have a basic defense. It is better to be prepared than to regret it in the future.

Unable to hear the sound of Murphy typing on the keyboard, Gal Gadot woke up from his own memories. Seeing that Murphy was in a trance like her, he first looked at Murphy, then tilted his head to look at the laptop screen, then It was a sentence that Murphy just typed out.

"Love is the most indescribable impermanence in this world. It has all kinds of incarnations: love intertwined with lies, intertwined with resentment, even intertwined with murder, love in full bloom cannot escape hatred, it is a delicate rose , exuding a faint bloody smell."

After reading this passage, Gal Gadot was stunned at first, and then looked at Murphy in puzzlement. He jumped out of an absurd feeling for the first time: He... how could he have such an idea? If he evaluates love like this, then he and he

What's going on in between?

But then her thoughts turned around again. Is Murphy's new work a romance film?

"What's wrong?" Murphy saw Gal Gadot's expression.

Gal Gadot said nothing, but pouted at the laptop screen.

"This." Murphy immediately understood and explained, "This is a line from Tony Kushner's stage play "The Illusion", and it is also the keynote of the theme of my new film."

Gal Gadot nodded and asked, "Is this a romance movie?"

"No." Murphy shook his head directly. "This is not a story about mutual love. It is not the same as the current values ​​​​of Hollywood movies."

The phone rang suddenly, and Murphy picked it up and said a few words, closed the notebook, and said to Gal Gadot, "Grace and the others are gone, let's rest."

After lying down, Gal Gadot soon became dazed because she was really tired today, but when she turned over, she saw Murphy lying beside her, seeming to be still thinking about the problem.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Gal Gadot got into his arms.

"Donnie is going to hold a bachelor party." Murphy hugged Gal Gadot tightly, "He has snarled me so many times before, I was thinking, I should give him a bachelor party at the bachelor party." What kind of gift you will never forget." (To be continued.)
