Hollywood Road

Sue!

As soon as he drove out of the manor, Murphy received a call from James Franco. He parked the car on the side of the road and answered the phone. James Franco's urging voice rang through the receiver.

"Murphy, where have you been?" His voice was loud, "Why haven't you come yet, do you want to let me go?"

"I've already left the house." Murphy said calmly, "Don't forget, I attended the nominee luncheon at noon."

James Franco over there asked again, "How many nominations did you get?"

"Nine." Murphy sped up his speech slightly, "We have all been nominated for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture."

"Congratulations." James Franco urged again, "Come here quickly, I'll wait for you."

"Ok."

Murphy responded, hung up the phone, and drove towards the Santa Monica beach pier.

He knew that James Franco had secretly planned for today's marriage proposal for a long time, and asked the people around him to help hide it from Lily Collins. According to him, he prepared a very, very special way of marriage proposal.

Murphy wanted to see what kind of tricks this unremarkable guy could play, and he could also accumulate some experience for his future.

Compared to New York, the traffic situation in Los Angeles is much better. Murphy soon arrived at the beach area of ​​Santa Monica and turned onto the coastal avenue built along the coastline.

Entering the coastal avenue, Murphy had to slow down the speed of the car. There were too many people in the Santa Monica seaside area.

Just like when he chose to live in Santa Monica at the earliest time, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the transportation is convenient. Good choice.

Murphy's destination was Santa Monica's Blossom State Beach, north of the Santa Monica Pier, one of Los Angeles' most famous beaches with a seemingly endless two-mile stretch of shoreline.

Due to the slow speed of the car, it took Murphy some time to reach the end of the coastal avenue, and Santa Monica Flower State Beach also appeared in his sight.

However, the parking space here is very tight, and it took Murphy ten minutes just to find a parking space.

Fortunately, it is not summer, and in the summer peak season, there is no parking space at all here.

After parking the car, Murphy quickly walked towards a pier. This pier was first built in 1908 and is a symbol of Santa Monica. Many movies and TV series have been filmed here. ,

For example, in James Cameron's movie "Titanic", Jack told Ruth that he would take Ruth to Santa Monica's Tuti Pier to ride the Ferris wheel; in the movie "Forrest Gump", Forrest Gump ran This is the west coast.

The meeting place chosen by James Franco is the most famous restaurant on the pier called Bubba Gan.

"Hi Murphy!"

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Murphy heard James Franco's voice, "This way, we are here."

Today's Bubba Gan's restaurant is empty, with only a few guests. Murphy knows without asking that James Franco must have booked this restaurant. There are two brothers James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Susan Downey, who will replace Robert Downey Jr. who went to the Far East. Sensible.

In this era where smartphones are becoming more and more popular, if there are outsiders present, maybe the relevant pictures will appear on social networking sites soon.

For a star of James Franco's level, whether he is engaged or married, it is not a matter of one person. It will affect his future development and the entire management team behind him. Currently, the management team of cAA has not formulated relevant public relations. So James - Franco does not intend to let this marriage proposal be the first to be exposed.

Even the restaurant signed a non-disclosure agreement with James Franco.

Murphy came to a large dining table near the window,

Everyone sat here and kept discussing in low voices. He pulled out a chair and sat between Seth Rogen and Susan Downey. Looking at James Franco opposite him, he asked with concern, " How are you getting ready?"

James Franco rolled his eyes, "It's all ready."

As he spoke, he also pointed to a storage room in the dining room, and Dave Franco next to him said, "When James proposes, I will come out with big surprises from the storage room, and then Give it to Lily."

Murphy was a little curious and couldn't help asking, "What kind of surprise?"

Dave Franco shook his head quickly, "This is a secret, and no one will know until the final truth is revealed!"

Murphy looked at Seth Rogen and Susan Downey again, and the two shook their heads at the same time, apparently not knowing what kind of surprise the Franco brothers had prepared.

"Are you going to study?" Susan Downey suddenly winked at Murphy, "Someone has been waiting for your proposal."

"Soon." Murphy shrugged and said with a smile, "Always find a suitable opportunity."

Everyone sitting at the dining table knew what the two men meant, and couldn't help laughing at the same time.

Because James Franco proposed to marry him, he told Lily Collins that the party time had been postponed. Murphy and the others chatted while waiting, occasionally admiring the scenery of Santa Monica beach outside the window, but they didn't feel bored.

Murphy specially watched the meeting. Because of the weekend, there were a lot of people on the pier and the beach. Every holiday, there would be small concerts and dances here, which was very special.

Especially when the sun sets at dusk, this artistic conception gives people another unique feeling.

"Here comes the juice!"

A waiter brought over glasses of orange-yellow freshly squeezed juice, and Dave Franco reminded James Franco, "Juice is here."

James Franco waved to the waiter, and after the waiter left quickly, he took out a jewelry box obviously containing a ring from his pocket.

"Oh, the proposal ring is ready!" Seth Rogen adjusted his glasses and said impatiently, "Jim, open it quickly, let us see how big the diamond is on the ring?"

Murphy asked concerned, "You won't just give the ring to Lily, right?"

Susan Downey shook her head, "That's too old-fashioned."

"Of course not!" James Franco opened the box and took out the small and exquisite diamond ring inside. "I will use a very special method."

The ring looked very small, and Murphy vaguely remembered that Lily Collins had very thin fingers, so it must have been specially made by James Franco.

"What special way?" Seth Rogen was still curious.

James Franco smiled, picked up the glass of juice placed in front of the empty seat next to him, and then threw the ring into the glass. The orange juice completely covered the ring, and it was impossible to see it from the outside. There is no abnormality in this glass of juice.

"Think about it." James Franco was a little complacent, "Wouldn't it be a surprise for Lily to drink a ring while drinking juice? And then I will propose marriage, isn't it very romantic?"

Susan Downey was the first to nod, "It's much more creative than Robert Downey Jr. giving the ring directly."

Then, she turned around and said to Murphy, "Such a special way of proposing will definitely succeed."

Murphy smiled. This kind of trick didn't seem to be original by James Franco. He vaguely remembered a newspaper mentioning that a star whose name he forgot proposed to his model girlfriend in this way.

In any case, this is much more creative than pulling out the ring directly, and James - Franco really wanted to surprise Lily Collins.

After putting away the ring, James Franco said to Susan Downey, "Call Lily for me and ask her where she is."

Susan Downey took out her mobile phone, dialed Lily Collins' number, said a few words, hung up the phone, and said to James Franco, "I've turned onto the Coastal Avenue, and it will take about ten minutes to get there." Arrived."

James Franco let out a breath, as if the waiting made him a little nervous.

Murphy looked at James Franco and deliberately changed the subject, lest Lily Collins notice the strangeness of James Franco and thus lose the sense of surprise.

"Seth," Murphy asked the fat man beside him, "how is your script preparation going?"

After Seth Rogen brought up the concept of combining horror and comedy last time, he temporarily put down his work as an actor and devoted himself to preparing for this project. After constantly overturning the concept, he finally reached the stage of writing the script.

"The outline is almost finished." Seth Rogen scratched his head, "But I still think something is wrong, so I'm still adding."

Murphy nodded, "I can't help with comedy too much. When Jonah comes back, you can discuss it with him."

Seth Rogen sighed, "He has already come up with some ideas, and they are not very reliable."

"It's okay to write a good script and let that guy Jonah insert jokes in it." James Franco shook his head, "It's okay to help out with ideas, let him give ideas, and the Zentraedi will appear."

"That..." Seth Rogen thought for a while, "Jonah's idea is not bad, let the earth become hell, good people will automatically enter heaven, and all bad people will stay on the earth to suffer."

Dave Franco opened his mouth wide, "Then we're all going to stay on Earth?"

Murphy shrugged and continued, "Everyone in Hollywood must stay in the region."

At this time, the door of the restaurant was pushed open from the outside, and Lily Collins, who was wearing casual clothes, strode in. As she walked towards this side, she smiled and said hello, "Hi everyone, why are you here today?" Morning."

As she spoke, she walked quickly to the empty seat next to James Franco. (to be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please read here. )
