Hollywood Road

In the lounge, Gal Gadot sat quietly next to Murphy, looking at the girl opposite her who was not a few years older than herself, her eyes were full of curiosity. Murphy and her just met by chance, and there was no special intersection. Not a movie buff like Mawson and John, what did you come to find Murphy?

Of course, she wouldn't be so foolish as to think that the other party has taken a fancy to Murphy. In the eyes of people in the film industry, Murphy is definitely a priceless treasure, but this girl has nothing to do with Hollywood. 【Latest chapter reading】

Gal Gadot heard from Mo Sen that this talented cousin had just dropped out of Stanford University last year or the year before. The dropout was not because of poor academic performance, but to start a business!

According to Mo Sen, it is conservatively estimated that the other party should also have a net worth of several million dollars or even tens of millions of dollars.

"I've read a lot of reports and materials about you, Murphy." Elizabeth Holmes looked across and said with a smile, "Your experience is definitely an entrepreneurial miracle."

"Uh..." Murphy froze for a moment, "It's the first time someone has commented on me like that."

"Isn't it?" Elizabeth Holmes spread her hands, "Your Stanton studio has participated in the production of many successful films, and even invested in "Deadpool". Isn't this a successful venture?"

Murphy didn't speak, and couldn't figure out what the other party meant.

Elizabeth-Holmes seems excited, "Any successful entrepreneur deserves respect."

"Well, that's true." Murphy nodded, gradually grasping some thoughts of Elizabeth Holmes, and asked deliberately, "I think you must be a successful entrepreneur, Liz."

"That's right, although my career has just started, it has already entered the stage of yielding results." Elizabeth Holmes looked quite confident.

Murphy glanced at Gal Gadot, who immediately turned into a curious girl and asked, "Can I know what you did?"

The answer given by Elizabeth Holmes made Murphy and Gal Gadot stare, "I hope to build a medical system that can completely change the status quo of medical care. I don't want to improve on some existing technologies, but Want to invent a new technology that can benefit everyone regardless of geography, race, age or gender."

This ambition is really not ordinary. It seems that Ao Heitan has stumbled in the medical reform later, right? Murphy became more and more curious.

"The year before last, I started a company with the tuition I saved." Elizabeth Holmes seemed to be talking about something extraordinary, and she was delighted, "At the beginning,

I could only rent a room in the basement of the college and study and work at the same time, but after one semester, I officially dropped out of Stanford University and started to start a business wholeheartedly, and developed into a company that has been featured in technology and financial magazines several times. company. "

"Oh..." Gal Gadot nodded politely, "It's amazing."

Unlike Gal Gadot, Murphy didn't take the initiative to speak, but continued to look at Elizabeth Holmes curiously until Elizabeth Holmes couldn't bear his burning gaze.

"Liz, I'm a person who likes simplicity and directness." Murphy didn't want to entangle here, and said simply, "I believe your time is also precious."

Having said that, Elizabeth Holmes no longer circles around, "My company is financing externally and looking for suitable investors."

This answer wasn't particularly surprising. Murphy just frowned, pointed at himself and said, "Do you think I'm a suitable investor?"

Elizabeth-Holmes asked rhetorically, "Isn't it? Need I list your successful investments? My company will be your next success."

For some reason, Murphy could faintly smell Uncle Joe from her.

These words aroused his curiosity even more, "Can you tell me about the specific projects your company is working on?"

"I founded an innovative blood testing company." Elizabeth Holmes should be in urgent need of external capital injection, and said very carefully, "Traditional blood testing has many loopholes and deficiencies. For example, it needs When doing a blood test, the nurse always draws a large tube of red liquid from the patient's arm. Some patients who are not in good health may not be able to withstand such repeated blood draws. In addition to people’s physical and psychological discomfort, traditional blood testing has a more serious problem, that is, manual testing will cause errors in blood data, so the virus in the blood cannot be fully tested in many cases.”

Seeing that Murphy was listening carefully, she spoke more vigorously, "According to my idea, when testing blood, you only need to gently take out a drop of blood with the tip of a needle on your finger as a collection sample. Don't underestimate this drop of blood. Through the equipment that my company is developing, hundreds of indicators in the blood can be tested."

Elizabeth Holmes laughed, "In this way, people who suffer from haemorrhage will not have to worry about it, and those who suffer from chronic diseases and need to test their blood frequently will not have to worry about it. What's more, with the help of machines , and the accuracy of blood tests has also improved."

Although there is no comparison, Murphy can see that this young girl, like Gal Gadot, is so 'different' among her peers.

As if to make her words more convincing, Elizabeth Holmes continued, "Murphy, you must know something about the terrible medical system in the United States. A blood test that is so convenient, cheap and accurate How can the service be unpopular with the government and the masses?"

"Sounds pretty good." Murphy nodded.

If Elizabeth Holmes's research is successful and patented, this service could definitely make her company a shining star.

The question is, can she pull it off?

This is not Hollywood and the film industry. Murphy doesn't understand it at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a layman. He must be cautious when investing in projects that he does not understand.

Moreover, the feeling of the female version of Uncle Joe brought by Elizabeth Holmes always made Murphy feel that something seemed very wrong.

From Murphy's face, Elizabeth Holmes faintly saw the excitement, and said, "My goal is to raise 100 million US dollars for research and development, and then at the right time, the company will be listed publicly."

Murphy nodded again, as if completely impressed by Elizabeth Holmes.

Gal Gadot stretched out a hand indiscriminately, and gently twisted Murphy's lower back, wanting to remind her boyfriend not to listen to this so-called public financing.

"A lot of people have already expressed their investment intentions." Elizabeth Holmes is trying to win over Murphy as much as possible. "If you invest 10 million US dollars now, it will definitely become a company share worth 400 million US dollars in the future."

Turning his hand back, Murphy gently squeezed Gal Gadot's hand, and Gal Gadot immediately felt relieved, knowing that her boyfriend had a clear understanding of priorities.

"Well, Liz." Murphy didn't completely block the road, and said, "Mail a copy of your company and research project information to Stanton's studio, if it is really as promising as you said , I will definitely invest.”

"That's good." Elizabeth Holmes was very happy, "I will get someone to do it as soon as possible."

She is looking for investment everywhere, certainly not let go of any possible opportunities.

Murphy laughed, "I'll wait for your good news."

Elizabeth Holmes chatted with Murphy a few more words before leaving the lounge.

"Are you really interested?" Gal Gadot looked at Murphy, who shook his head, "I just want to see what kind of company this is."

He doesn't know much about investment, but he knows some very simple truths. The more hype projects are described, the more serious problems they don't know about.

Hollywood film projects are like this, and investment in the business circle may not be the same.

Not long after Elizabeth Holmes left, John knocked on the door again and walked in, said a few words to Murphy, and after earning his consent, he went out and brought in a dozen men and women.

These people all have the same identity, avid film lovers and members of Gal Gadot's film society.

"Murphy, this is Mawson, this is Minna..." Gal Gadot introduced Murphy one by one, "This is Chris, this is Alston..."

Anyway, these are Gal Gadot's classmates in the club, and compared to Hollywood, these students in the ivory tower are much more innocent and cute.

After a simple conversation, Murphy also found out that they found themselves through Gal Gadot. The purpose was actually quite simple, and there was nothing complicated about it. It was just out of love for filmmaking and wanted to know something about Hollywood and this world. The current state of the industry, and what it takes to really break into Hollywood.

It can be said that these people's love for filmmaking is pure, more out of hobby.

In the face of these relatively simple people, Murphy also put away those complicated thoughts. On the basis of the facts, when talking about Hollywood movies and the industry, he appropriately added a little embellishment to avoid hitting the love of these people.

"Those great filmmakers are born with a high sensitivity to the art of film. We can only sigh in admiration for this kind of talent, and only hope to constantly improve our skills and enrich our resumes in the process of making films again and again. However, even It is the greatest and most legendary filmmaker today, such as David Fincher, Quentin Tarantino or Wes Anderson, also stood on the shoulders of giants to achieve today's achievements .”

After listening to Murphy's words, John asked the first question, "What do you think is the most important thing to make a movie?" (To be continued.)
