Hollywood Road

"Good job, boy."

As soon as he walked into the No. 15 entertainment room, David Ellison heard his father's sonorous voice, which was different from the usual sarcasm, full of praise, "You have taken the first step to success !"

"I"

Seeing Larry Ellison's rough face, David Ellison didn't know what to say for a moment.

Megan Ellison looked sideways at Larry Ellison, as if it was the first time his father praised David so much, right?

Larry Ellison walked up to David Ellison and patted his shoulder heavily, "You are smarter than I expected. I thought you would have to pay tuition for the first three to five years."

He nodded with satisfaction, "You have done a good job. You have chosen a very good partner and continue to build a good relationship with him. The immediate benefits are not the most important thing. Take a longer view."

David Ellison said quickly, "I understand."

"You have grown up and matured." Larry Ellison seemed to have made a decision, "It's time to get full authority of your foundation."

"Really?" David Ellison was quite excited, "Is this true?"

Megan Ellison rolled his eyes, David is really capable? Will it really not lose all the money in the foundation? Humph

She snorted coldly. If she didn't continue to cooperate with Murphy Stanton, this guy would definitely fail to penniless, and finally ran back to his father for help.

His success is not his own ability at all, but just a ride on Murphy Stanton's success.

"Are you serious about continuing to work with David Ellison?"

In Twentieth Century Fox's office, Karafes put a cup of coffee in front of Murphy, "Aren't you considering kicking him out?"

"Why not cooperate?" Murphy sat on the swivel chair with his hands on the armrests. "I talked to David Ellison before. He will cooperate with us in the way of investing in Gone Girl. Stanton works. The office only needs to pay a loan interest, and does not need to sell the copyright and dividends, how could I refuse such kindness?"

Karafis mused, "He seems eager to prove his abilities with some successful projects."

"It's probably impossible. Born in a family like Ellison, and with such a successful father, when he entered the society," Murphy shook his head, "Most people and the media,

Even the people around him would probably look at him through colored glasses. Even if it were me, facing this situation, I'm afraid I would want to prove that I am not a brainless rich second generation who can only rely on my family and my father. "

Karafis nodded slightly.

"David Ellison is a good investor right now."

In the cooperation of the disappeared lover, this rich second generation left a very good impression on Murphy, "Having a large amount of money in his hand, he is willing to invest, and he does not intervene indiscriminately in the operation of the crew, and he also helps within the scope of his ability." I have not seen such a good investor until now.”

It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but now David Ellison is eager to prove himself and doesn't care too much about investment profits.

If he doesn't like such an investor, what kind of investor can he like?

"How much loan is he going to give you?" Karafis asked curiously, "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones.

"Twenty million to thirty million U.S. dollars." Murphy picked up the coffee cup, "We need to discuss the details, and there is also the issue of interest."

Karafis nodded, "In this case, your Stanton studio basically doesn't need much investment."

Murphy took a sip of his coffee and said unhurriedly, "Bill has already prepared to negotiate with Fox TV Network on my behalf, and your department will also join the production. The biggest issue now is the investment ratio and copyright between the two parties. "

Looking at Murphy, Karafis didn't speak.

"My bottom line is that Stanton Studios must occupy 51% of the investment and copyright." Murphy wanted Carafes to convey this message to the top management of Twentieth Century Fox, "shooting and production must also be based on our opinion prevails.”

"After the negotiation is completed, I will be the direct person in charge of Twentieth Century Fox's TV series." Carafes didn't need to hide anything from Murphy, "But everyone knows about my relationship with you, Twentieth Century Fox Fox's negotiating team excluded me, and I was unable to participate in specific negotiations."

Murphy smiled, "I know."

Twentieth Century Fox is neither a fool nor a charity, and it doesn't surprise him at all to do so.

The two sides are indeed working closely together, but neither will easily give up the profits that can be competed for.

Although unable to participate in the negotiations, Karafes still said, "Don't worry about the negotiations, it's best to wait for a while."

"It will definitely take a while." Murphy pointed to his head, "This is the established plan."

When Gone Girl gets better box office results, Stanton Studios will undoubtedly be in a better position in the negotiations.

After saying a few more questions about the follow-up cooperation, Murphy walked out of Karafels' office.

"He's out."

In another office on the same floor, an assistant who was paying attention to the movement in the corridor saw Murphy coming out, hurried back to the office, and said to Dave Scola in the suite, "Murphy Stanton is here."

Dave Scola immediately stood up from his chair, and without even thinking about it, he was ready to go out and have a chance encounter with Murphy Stanton.

He must do something to change the current unfavorable situation.

The Kingdom of Heaven, which carries countless ambitions, has a box office of just over 40 million US dollars in North America, which puts him under tremendous pressure. To make matters worse, the direct competitor responsible for Gone Girl is a big hit on the first day. It is very possible to get an extremely beautiful data.

All this almost made him stand on the edge of a cliff.

Dave Scola, who has been brooding since Kingdom of Heaven's opening weekend flop, now finally understands that there's only one way to keep the aggressive Karafels down.

In his eyes, one of the most important reasons why Karafis can press so hard is that she has the support of Murphy Stanton, so she doesn't have to worry about performance issues at all.

Such a promising young director, why can't he form an alliance with himself?

Indeed, the friendship between Murphy Stanton and Karafis is well known, but in this world, how many friendships can really stand the test?

After leaving the office, Dave Scola didn't walk directly towards Murphy. It was too obvious to do so. Instead, he turned his head and walked into the elevator room. He stood here and waited for a while. Murphy followed his crisp footsteps sound came in.

"Hi, Murphy." Dave Scola took the initiative to say hello.

Murphy nodded with a smile, "Hello, Dave."

"Come to find Kara again?" Dave Scola first said something casually, and then said, "Do you have time?"

"Is there anything?" Murphy frowned slightly, "I'm going."

The elevator came at this time. Dave Scola walked to the elevator first, and then made a gesture of invitation to Murphy, as warm and respectful as a hotel doorman.

Although a little puzzled, Murphy got into the elevator, and Dave Scola walked in afterward.

"First floor?" he asked.

Murphy nodded slightly, "First floor."

Dave Scola pressed the button on the first floor, waited for the elevator door to close, and said directly, "Can we talk, Murphy?"

"I'm going," Murphy said.

"It won't take you much time." Dave Scola insisted, "Five minutes is enough."

Murphy thought for a while, then nodded slightly.

After getting out of the elevator, Murphy followed Dave Scola to the lounge on the first floor of the Fox Building, found a place where no one was around, and wanted to see what the 20th Century Fox executive was going to say.

In the past, Dave Scola didn't pay much attention to Murphy, but now he has enough understanding to know that this is a person who likes to go straight.

"Amazing Comics has just established Marvel Pictures." He found out that Murphy had wanted to get the movie rights of Marvel Comics heroes more than once. "Kevin Fitch is my good friend."

He stared closely at Murphy, "If I recommend it, it is not difficult to become the director of the Marvel movie."

Frankly, it was tempting, but Murphy just smiled.

"At Twentieth Century Fox, I will give you my full support. No matter what your project is, I will help you get it approved."

As if very confident, Dave Scola said, "I guarantee that you will have the final editing rights for any project you cooperate with 20th Century Fox."

He suddenly showed an inexplicable smile, "There is also the right to choose actors, you can choose according to your own preferences."

Dave Scola deliberately emphasized his tone, "Choose the heroine!"

Hearing this, Murphy raised his eyebrows, seeming very interested.

"Funds, power, actors, scripts, the subject matter you want to shoot"

Seeing the expression on Murphy's face, Dave Scola laughed, "I can promise you all these, as long as we cooperate!"

Why did Murphy Stanton cooperate with Carafes so desperately? Dave Scola has thought about this question carefully, but seeing Calafes's beautiful appearance and sexy figure, he thinks he has found the answer. Presumably the relationship between Murphy Stanton and Calafes is not as simple as friendship. ?

Carafes is indeed very beautiful, but Murphy Stanton is no longer the little director he was before. As long as The Lost Lover can meet the expectations of 20th Century Fox, he will definitely be able to steadily enter the ranks of second-tier directors. Directors who have reached this position , What kind of beautiful woman do you want that you can't find? Will hold Calafis to a tree.

Murphy crossed his arms and looked like he was thinking seriously.

Dave Scola smiled even brighter, "Cooperate with me, and your interests can be guaranteed to the greatest extent." To be continued.
