Hollywood Road

The birth of my daughter was very busy, and some chapters were messed up. I contacted the editor-in-charge yesterday to revise. The editor-in-charge is on vacation this week. Please forgive me! Also, because I can't code words, there are almost no manuscripts saved, so I can only update twice a day for the time being. 【】Those who sneer at Thirteen for breaking the update or even TJ can accept it.

On the weekend, Murphy set off from the valley area on time and arrived at the gate of UCLA not long after. Since the school refused to allow foreign vehicles to enter, he parked his car near the school gate and walked towards it on foot.

Originally, Gal Gadot wanted to come out to pick him up, but he refused. In Murphy's mind, since she is the vice president of the film club, she must be busy, and it would not be too good to leave without authorization.

Although he didn't go to university here, Murphy felt that no matter which side of the Pacific Ocean it was, it was necessary to have a good relationship with classmates.

More than two years ago, Murphy sent Gal Gadot here, and I still have some impressions, especially the dormitory area, but this time the celebration party was not in the dormitory area, but in a large one where the school often holds parties. Inside the restaurant.

He has never been to the dining area. When talking on the phone with Gal Gadot before, he just heard her say that when you enter the door, turn left and go to the first intersection, then turn right, then cross a square and turn left to see the main entrance of the restaurant Yes, and the banner of the party is pulled at the main entrance of the restaurant, which is very easy to identify.

The sky had just darkened, and the street lights on the campus hadn't been turned on yet. Murphy turned left and right and then left according to the road pointed by Gal Gadot, but he still didn't see where the restaurant was.

Back on the square, Murphy found a slightly higher place, looked around, but still didn't find anything.

"Looks like I'm going the wrong way." He immediately realized this, turned and walked towards the right, and just when he looked around, he found a young girl approaching, who seemed to be a student from the University of California.

"Sorry to bother you." Murphy walked over and asked proactively, "How can I get to Restaurant No. 1?"

The girl turned her head to look at Murphy, and asked curiously, "Are you going to Restaurant No. 1?"

Murphy nodded slightly, and glanced at the girl's face at the same time. This girl had a Nordic look, with a high nose and deep eyes, which could be considered very beautiful. Her beautiful blond hair was coiled behind her head, highlighting the Three-dimensional facial features.

"I'm going to Restaurant No. 1 too."

This is inside the campus, and the girl was not worried, and said, "Come with me."

"That's good." Murphy followed and walked towards a stone road, "Thank you."

"you are welcome.

The girl turned her head and smiled at him, and asked, "Are you going to the celebration party over there?" "

"That's right." Murphy replied as he walked, "You are a member of the academy film club."

"No, I was also invited." The blond girl led Murphy around a corner, and pointed to the back of a coconut grove, "The restaurant is over there."

There was a distance between the two, and they walked there. Murphy introduced himself, "I'm Murphy Stanton, from California."

"Murphy Stanton?" The girl seemed to have heard the name before, she frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly showed a surprised expression, "You are not the Murphy Stanton in Hollywood, are you?"

"As far as I know." Murphy shrugged, "There seems to be no second one."

Although the blond girl was not surprised, she also smiled happily, "Oh, oh, oh, I didn't expect to meet a famous Hollywood director here."

Murphy smiled, and asked politely as a reminder, "May I know your name, pretty lady?"

"Ah, sorry." The blond girl was obviously well-educated, and quickly introduced herself, "I'm Elizabeth Holmes, from Palo Alto, California."

"Nice to meet you." Murphy said politely.

Elizabeth Holmes also said, "I am also very happy to know a Hollywood director like you."

While talking, the two had arrived at the door of the restaurant.

As soon as she walked to the door of the restaurant, Murphy saw Gal Gadot approaching quickly. She seemed a little anxious, "Why did it take me so long to come here? You won't get lost, right?"

"You got it right." Murphy spread his hands and said helplessly, "I'm really lost."

He turned his head and introduced, "This is Miss Elizabeth Holmes, she brought me here."

"Thank you." Gal Gadot thanked him, and introduced himself, "I'm Gal Gadot, a member of the film club. Are you Mo Sen's cousin?"

"Hi." Elizabeth Holmes said with a smile, "I happened to be in Los Angeles on a business trip, so I accepted Mosen's invitation."

She pointed inside, "I won't disturb you, I'll go in first."

When walking into the restaurant, Elizabeth Holmes glanced back, and her eyes fell on Murphy.

"Let's go in too." Gal Gadot took Murphy's arm and walked into the restaurant, saying as he walked, "I told them, as long as you show up, you can answer a few of them in private. That’s enough, don’t worry about anything else.”

Murphy tilted his head and kissed her lightly, "I will follow your arrangement tonight."

Now that he is here, he will definitely not let Gal Gadot have any embarrassment.

But the actual situation was beyond Murphy's expectations. He had just entered the big restaurant where the party was held, and before he could figure out what was going on, he heard someone yelling 'Murphy is coming', and then the order of the party was completely chaotic. Countless people gathered around. If it weren't for the heads of a few film clubs who stopped outside, it's hard to say that there wouldn't be chaos.

Murphy never expected that he would be so popular in the university.

It is no longer possible for him to stay in the restaurant normally, who knows what will happen next, and the situation just now made Gal Gadot a little angry, the chaos just now may hurt Murphy, in that case...

When the order improved, Gal Gadot dragged Murphy into a nearby rest room without hesitation.

"I knew it would be like this." She leaned against the door, as if she was a little scared, "I won't let you come if I say anything."

"Hey, honey, calm down." Murphy walked over and put his arms around her shoulders, "I have faced more complicated and chaotic situations than this."

This is often the case in the post-release publicity for his films.

There was an aggressive knock on the door, and Gal Gadot leaned against the door without moving, and had no intention of opening the door at all. A boy's voice came from outside, "Gal, it's me, John, only me."

Murphy patted Gal Gadot on the shoulder, Gal Gadot pouted, and then stepped aside and opened the door.

After a brown-haired boy came in, he hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, Director Stanton, we didn't expect this to happen."

"It's okay." After all, this is Gal Gadot's classmate in the club, Murphy shook his head indifferently, "I like your enthusiasm very much."

The boy scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's because I didn't do a good job, Director Stanton..."

Murphy raised his hand to interrupt him, "Call me Murphy."

Although the words were very polite, Murphy was not going to run into the restaurant to ask for trouble again. It was not like when there were special security personnel around during the promotion.

While chatting with the head of the club named John, Murphy gradually understood that the era of information explosion has arrived, and the director who hides most of his body behind the scenes is no longer the situation that no one knew before. Great directors, especially popular directors, will gradually come to the front of the screen.

In the last century, the promotional films that first considered actors would change accordingly. Some well-known directors' films would also feature eye-catching titles such as the work of a certain director.

"Is he so popular among you?"

In the dining room, Elizabeth Holmes looked at the lounge over there and asked her cousin Moss, "You guys are like crazy."

"You haven't watched "Deadpool" and "Gone Girl", have you?" Seeing his cousin nodding, Mo Sen said in admiration, "A crazy cute, a crazy fascinating, Murphy's style is so unique .”

He directly raised a thumb, "Among the young directors in Hollywood under the age of 40, Murphy's ability is definitely the first, and his income is also the first! He is the best idol for those of us who dream of making movies!"

Elizabeth Holmes automatically ignored the rest of Mawson's words, and only remembered one sentence, "Income is also the first?"

"Absolutely!" Because he is a classmate's boyfriend, Mo Sen knows a lot about a lot of high-end goods, and said quickly, "I read from the authoritative media that his previous films were all worth four million dollars. The basic remuneration plus a certain amount of box office share. In "Deadpool", it is said that the North American box office share alone has earned nearly 20 million U.S. dollars, and he also accounted for a quarter of the total investment. It’s close to 600 million U.S. dollars, how much money can he get from it?”

Hearing Mawson's words, Elizabeth Holmes was thoughtful.

"Why, are you interested in him?" Mo Sen was very gossip, "Want to pursue him? He has a girlfriend."

"I'm not as boring as you think." Elizabeth Holmes waved her hand, "I'll go talk to Murphy Stanton."

Mo Sen asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Elizabeth Holmes shook her head and walked straight towards the lounge without saying a word.

In the lounge, Murphy was still very polite to Gal Gadot's classmates, "John, if you have any questions, you can come here and ask me, I won't go out."

"Okay, okay..." John stood up excitedly and said, "I'm going to tell those guys."

Murphy nodded to him with a smile, and John said goodbye to the two of them and left the lounge.

As soon as he left, the door of the lounge was knocked from the outside again. Gal Gadot looked at Murphy, stood up and opened the door.

"Hi, Gail." A blond girl smiled and waved her hand, "We meet again."

Gal Gadot naturally remembered her, "Hello, Miss Holmes."

"Call me Liz." Elizabeth Holmes asked politely, "Is Murphy there?"

"Inside?" Gal Gadot got out of the way, although she was curious, and Elizabeth Holmes said again, "I have something to talk to Murphy." (To be continued.)
