Hollywood Road

"I'll be back on Wednesday, are you in Los Angeles?"

On the streets of Tel Aviv, Israel, Gal Gadot got out of the car, and while talking on the phone with Murphy, he walked towards a newsstand, "My dear, what is the box office of the new film at the first weekend?"

Without waiting for the other person to answer, she said again, "It's better not to talk about it, I will go and see for myself, and keep a little surprise."

After saying a few more words, Gal Gadot hung up the phone and walked to the newsstand.

"Is there a premiere magazine?"

Gal Gadot shook his head when he saw a Hebrew newspaper handed over by the salesperson, and said, "It's the latest premiere magazine in the United States."

"Ah." The salesperson patted his forehead, turned around, and brought a magazine over, "Is this it?"

Gal Gadot saw the cover of the magazine with the poster of the lost lover, took over and paid, "That's it."

After buying a magazine, she checked the time, came to a car on the side of the road, drove away from the street, turned two intersections, and came to the residential area where her home was located.

A few years ago, her family moved to Tel Aviv from Rosh Hain, choosing this neighborhood known for its safety.

The black car shuttled among the houses with unique shapes, and soon came to a villa closest to the central area. Even in this area crowded with wealthy Jewish people, this villa is still quite conspicuous. Its It covers a very large area. Although because of the size of Israel, it is not comparable to the huge manors of several hectares in North America, it still exceeds an acre overall.

Driving into the garage of the villa, Gal Gadot picked up the magazine on the co-pilot, exited the garage, followed a passage, and directly entered the living room of the villa.

"Didn't you have an appointment with a friend?" A magnetic female voice came from the sofa in the living room, "Why did you come back so soon?"

"She's busy." Gal Gadot carried the magazine, walked over and sat on a single sofa, "Mom, is it so late today?"

Her mother, who runs a huge hotel chain, is usually very busy and rarely stays at home at this time.

On the sofa opposite Gal Gadot, sat a middle-aged woman who looked about forty years old. She had a similar appearance and hair color to Gal Gadot, but she looked more mature and shrewd.

"No schedule today." The middle-aged woman looked at Gal Gadot, "I'm waiting for you to come back."

Gal Gadot showed a puzzled smile,

"What am I waiting for?"

The eyes of the middle-aged woman gradually became sharper, "Did you book a flight back to Los Angeles yesterday?"

"Yes, Mom." Gal Gadot pouted, "School will start soon, and I have to go back in advance to make some preparations."

"Not only to prepare for the start of school?" The middle-aged woman didn't need Gal Gadot's answer, she said directly, "There are other things."

Gal Gadot understood what her mother meant and did not hide it, "I miss Murphy."

Speaking of Murphy, she unconsciously showed a sweet smile on her face.

All these fell into the eyes of the middle-aged woman, and she secretly sighed, knowing that she must take time to talk to her daughter today.

"Gail, since you were ten years old, you have been a very reassuring girl." The middle-aged woman knows how to communicate well. "Mature, smart, and stable, you have inherited all the advantages of our nation."

She glanced at Gal Gadot and continued, "I rarely interfere with you, because I know what you are doing and what you want. Even if you went to participate in the Miss Universe contest, your mother never stopped you."

"Yes, Mom." Gal Gadot looked at her mother gratefully, "You are the best mother in the world."

"But dear," the middle-aged woman sighed, "you're making it hard for mom right now, you're spending more and more time in Los Angeles, and less and less time at home each holiday, this time only in Tel Aviv After staying for less than half a month, I will be ready to leave."

Gal Gadot bit her lip, as if she didn't understand her mother's subtext, "I'm very sorry, I will stay with you in Tel Aviv next vacation."

The middle-aged woman shook her head, "Honey, you know that's not what I'm talking about."

What did the mother say, how could she not know? Gal Gadot was silent for a while, but he didn't back down anymore. After all, this was something he had to face.

Gal Gadot frowned, "Mom, why do you keep opposing me and Murphy? I haven't figured it out until now."

"I got to know him a little bit." The middle-aged woman said calmly, "He was born in a slum in Los Angeles. He was a gangster before the age of nineteen, and he was even imprisoned later."

She looked at her daughter, "Do you think these can be erased?"

"I don't care." Gal Gadot spread his hands, "Murphy was indeed an asshole when he was young, but that was before, and he is completely different now."

"Have you ever thought that this is his disguise?" The middle-aged woman looked like she could see through the world. "And he has a very bad reputation now. He has been involved with drug dealers and racial discrimination."

"Mom!" Hearing this, Gal Gadot became a little anxious, "It's all tabloid hype!"

The middle-aged woman stretched out a hand and made a downward gesture, "Okay, these are hype, but he is in Hollywood, do you really plan to hang out with him in that Vanity Fair?"

Gal Gadot did not waver, "I can face any complicated situation."

"Will he go back to Israel with you?" The middle-aged woman finally took out her trump card, "Honey, why did you choose to go to Los Angeles to study in college? Have you forgotten your original intention?"

"I" Gal Gadot opened his mouth, but was interrupted by a middle-aged woman, "His career is in Hollywood, which is the center of the world's film industry. Do you think he will give up his career and return to Israel with you in the future? ?”

Gal Gadot was silent and left Hollywood, is Murphy still Murphy?

Seeing her daughter thoughtful, the middle-aged woman ended the conversation in a timely manner. It would be bad if she said too much and had the opposite effect.

Still, before standing up to leave the living room, she added, "Don't forget, he's not us Jewish after all."

These last words kept echoing in Gal Gadot's ears, and also reminded her of the places she had subconsciously never wanted to touch in the past.

Yes, she is going back to Israel in the future, what about Murphy?

And from the bits and pieces of daily life, she can feel that in Murphy's heart, Jews are no different from Arabs, Slavs, or people of any other ethnicity. He has no idea of ​​Jewish supremacy at all, even in the future Following her to Israel, can she integrate into the class of her family?

Besides, how could she make him give up his career and follow her to Israel? This is not his stage.

Sitting on the sofa, Gal Gadot thought for a long time, but never came up with a good solution.

"Forget it, don't think about it." She shook her head vigorously, throwing all these out of her head, "I will stay in Los Angeles for a long time, and I will always find a solution."

Thinking of this, Gal Gadot felt that he should do something to divert his attention. When he saw the premiere magazine he bought, he took it and looked for it. He turned to the webpage related to Murphy and read it seriously.

"The lover who disappeared at the North American weekend box office won the championship, and Murphy Stanton recreated the box office and word-of-mouth miracle."

Seeing this, Gal Gadot's chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down, and those troubles that bothered her were quickly replaced by the joy brought by her boyfriend's success.

"Well-crafted, captivating story, and grimly dark humor, all set to an unsettling atmosphere where Gone Lover leaves you unsettled and out of your breath. That's what Murphy Stanton wrote last weekend for A new masterpiece brought by North American movie fans."

"Among the younger generation of Hollywood directors, Murphy Stanton is an excellent example of balancing business and art. While bringing surprises to people, Gone Girl is also harvesting wildly in the North American film market. It was released at 3500 on Friday." The theater’s revenue was US$18.4 million, including US$6.2 million in the advance show on Thursday night. It easily won the single-day championship. Standing at the first place in the North American box office list!"

"The comprehensive media score of the film is 84 points, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 87%. 185 voted for Fresh Tomatoes, and 27 voted for Rotten Tomatoes. The nr score is 0, and the evaluation is not bad!"

"Our special film critics also spoke highly of Murphy Stanton's film, and believed that Murphy Stanton's direction was impeccable. Apart from fantasy and hallucinations, he once again proved himself to be a unique young director. Better than any director in Hollywood born after the 1980s, this is, as the most radical cinematic nihilist of our generation would define it, an excellent date-from-hell movie. Everything shows that when the director and When the subject matter is perfectly matched, an amazing movie like Gone Girl is born."

After closing the magazine, Gal Gadot stood up, walked through the living room into the back garden, took out his mobile phone and dialed Murphy's number.

"Honey, I see it."

As if the previous events were completely forgotten, she said with a smile, "Congratulations, your new film is going to be a hit again."

"Isn't this normal?" The voice from the other side had a stinky fart like Robert Downey Jr., but then turned to a low voice, "I would like to see you congratulate me in person."

Hearing this, Gal Gadot felt soft in his heart, "I'll go back right away, the tickets are all booked."

There was a lot of noise on the phone, and she asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"I'm doing a promotional event." The noise was getting louder, and Murphy also raised his voice, "I have a planned promotional event at the airport to participate in." To be continued.
