Hollywood Road

This is a very sexy and hot-looking blonde, probably not in her thirties, but her face is a little strange. After seeing her, Murphy confirmed that he had never seen her before, and she was not any famous Hollywood actress or An actress who will be a hit in the future.

She is exquisitely made up, luxuriously dressed, and impeccably mannered, and seems to have been very well educated or engaged in a very high-end career.

With such a blonde beauty standing in front of him, Murphy was a little puzzled. He wouldn't be so stupid as to think that he was a machine that automatically emits hormones or that he was born with a mental retardation aura, so that he could make the other party come over and strike up a conversation.

"Hello, Director Stanton." The blond woman introduced herself, "I'm Michelle Braun, you can call me Misha."

Out of the most basic courtesy, Murphy nodded to her, "Hello, Misha."

Bill Rosses next to him glanced at Michelle Braun, and took a half step back, as if he knew this woman, but he didn't say anything.

It is best for brokers not to interfere too much in the private life of their clients, which is often a source of conflict.

"You just got your first Oscar nomination, don't you need to celebrate?"

Hearing what Michelle Braun said, Murphy thought it was a public relations officer of a high-end party company, but Michelle Braun went on to say, "I called a party two nights later. An Oscar bash party to celebrate the upcoming event, Best Actress nominees Reese Witherspoon and Keira Knightley, Best Supporting Actress nominees Michelle Williams and Rachel- Vichy, you have already agreed to my invitation."

She didn't mention any men's names, and all she said were famous Hollywood female stars.

This seemed to be a very high-end party, which was Murphy's first reaction, but he immediately felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell the specific reason.

Michelle Braun saw that Murphy was a little puzzled, knowing that he was a first-timer, smiled slightly, and said, "The party is very grand, and can meet any of your requirements, Director Stanton..."

As she spoke, she took out a business card from her bag and handed it over, "If you are interested, you can call this number, and someone will serve you."

Murphy took a look at the business card. There was only a phone number on it, and he nodded subconsciously, "If necessary, I will make this call."

Michelle Braun smiled at him again, left here gracefully, and found George Clooney on the other side.

Seeing this, and thinking about what the other party said, Murphy gradually understood what was going on, and couldn't help shaking his head. Today, he is indeed a very attractive character, not just for movies and movie fans. , has also become the target in the eyes of some special figures in Hollywood.

After exiting the hotel gate, he got into the Bentley amidst reporters' siege. When the car started and drove onto the road, Murphy turned around and asked Bill Rossis next to him, "Who is she?"

Bill Rosses knew that Murphy was asking about Michelle Braun, and said, "The second Heidi Frese, the number one pimp in Hollywood today."

"Then her party..." Murphy pointed to the Hilton Hotel behind, "Is it the kind Downey said?"

"That's right." Bill Rosses knew about most things in the industry. "Just the ticket costs $30,000."

Murphy nodded. He heard Robert Downey Jr. mention before that this kind of masked carnival party is always held near the Oscars. Participants must wear masks. There is only one theme in the party, and that is sex. As long as the other party No objection, participants can participate in the carnival in any way, among which there are many well-known actors and big-name movie stars in Hollywood, and even a large number of actresses are also fans of this activity.

Just now Michelle Braun mentioned the names of several famous Hollywood movie stars, but Murphy will not take it seriously. Michelle Braun is very likely to use this method to attract potential customers.

Maybe when inviting female stars, such as him and George Clooney, who are not bad in appearance, will also become a tool in the hands of the other party to create attractiveness.

According to Robert Downey Jr., most of the people who provide services at such parties are high-end call girls or some young actors and models who are in urgent need of money.

"What?" Bill Rossis asked intentionally, "Are you interested?"

Murphy shook his head, "Just curious."

This is another side hidden deep under the glamorous appearance of Hollywood, which can inspire people's gossip.

"After Heidi Frass was imprisoned, Michelle Braun rose rapidly. It is said that she has more than 70 senior call girls or Mr. Zhao."

Seeing that Murphy was really curious, Bill Rosses briefly introduced a few words, "Including fashion models, Hollywood actresses, **** actors, "Playboy" magazine cover girls, etc., To provide special services to celebrities from all walks of life, the charges are frighteningly high. Her call girl charges 8,500 U.S. dollars for a one-day accompanying tour service, and a maximum of 50,000 U.S. dollars for a one-night sex service, which can be called the most expensive meat gold in the world.”

He added, "It is said that Michael Tyson is now the most senior Mr. Zhao in her hands."

This is not surprising to Murphy. The black boxing champion has always had a weak head. In the past, he almost fell to the point of going to the San Fernando Valley to shoot a movie.

After attending the nominees luncheon, Murphy flew to Northern Ireland that night. When the plane landed at Belfast International Airport, he didn't even go to the hotel. He rushed directly to the set and got into work.

In addition to continuing to shoot, he also has to find time to review the shots taken by Seth Rogen. Since he left, the work progress of the crew has slowed down rapidly, and they only maintain some of the most basic shooting work. After two consecutive movies, Coupled with his own good talent and hard work, Seth Rogen basically has no problem coping with some simple shots.

Among all the shots he took, Murphy was basically satisfied. A few flawed types can also be properly modified in post-production.

Even if there are very few shots that don't meet his wishes, he has no idea of ​​reworking the shooting. He plans to think of other ways when he plans to edit later. One person's energy is limited, and he can't make the shooting of Northern Ireland and the impact of the Oscars complete. Since it is on the Oscars It is normal to gain something and lose something on the set.

As for the Oscars, Murphy completely left it to Bill Rosses to deal with. The goal of getting multiple heavyweight nominations has been achieved, and it is almost impossible for him to win the best director statuette, so he will not blindly invest in it. Huge sums of money and resources, it's just wasted doing that.

However, Murphy did not give up completely. Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress are impossible. There is still room for another award that is lighter.

Although the Academy clearly stipulates that after the announcement of the Oscar nomination list, all public relations activities must stop, and the public relations on the surface will indeed die down, but the private activities will not stop until the Oscar voting closes, and there will still be competition for the Oscars. People jump up and down, making the last effort for themselves.

As long as it is not too much, the academy will turn a blind eye and close its eyes. Even if some people do too much, they often adopt the method of killing chickens to scare monkeys.

Throughout the history of Hollywood, how many times have big-name actors or directors been publicly investigated by the academy?

As for Michelle Bryan's party invitation, Murphy had already forgotten about it. He had no time or energy to play these games.

No matter how you measure it, Murphy is not a good person, but it is still disdainful to do such a thing behind the back of Gal Gadot who puts all his heart on him.

All Murphy's energy was put on the filming of the remaining scenes of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones". Paul Wilson also finished filming successfully and returned to Belfast to meet him. The crew will try their best to shoot the last few main plot shots, and strive to finish all the shooting work in mid-February.

As before, Murphy led the crew to change locations in Northern Ireland and Scotland, and also went to Iceland in the middle to shoot footage for scenes outside the Great Wall. The frozen Iceland is also very suitable as an location outside the Great Wall. land.

Murphy also notified Kara Firth that Iceland would be added as a main location base for future filming.

After staying outside for more than a week, Murphy led the crew back to Belfast, preparing to shoot the last important scene in the newly built scene, Ned Stark, an important character in the first part was killed.

This is also an extremely important scene in the whole series, which is directly related to the plot direction of the second season in the future. Joffrey ignored Cersei Lannister's obstruction and frantically killed Ned Stark. As the Lannister family can no longer make peace with the Stark family, the two sides can only go to war in the end.

A game of power has just begun.

This scene required a large number of extras. Except for the necessary personnel, everyone else in the crew put on makeup and stood on the small square of the open-air studio, acting as observers of Ned Stark's murder.

At the same time, this is Sean Bean's last scene.

"Stop! This one is over!"

As Murphy's high-pitched shouts echoed around the set, all the filming work of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" came to an end. After three long months of suffering, all crew members, including Murphy, Tired and looking forward to a holiday.

A part of the crew was left in Belfast to handle the remaining chores of the crew, and Murphy took the main personnel to personally carry the filming materials, and returned to Los Angeles from Northern Ireland on a special charter plane for the crew.

The crew ushered in a long vacation, but Murphy had to discuss the follow-up production and announcement with Kara Firth.
