Back in Los Angeles, Murphy first gave himself two days off, hid in a house in the Latin community, and made up for a period of sleep, probably because of the peculiar experience that left behind a headache. Down, the number of headache attacks became more and more frequent. Although it was not like the severe tearing pain when he first came to this world, it could also affect his thinking and normal work and life.

After resting for two days and feeling that his body and energy had recovered, Murphy did not rush to start post-production, but contacted Bill Rossis. The two sides talked several times and prepared to sign a formal brokerage contract.

Having a professional broker from CAA also far outweighs the downsides, and someone with no credentials like him has nothing to lose.

Unlike the cross-management of star actors or successful directors, CAA will not invest much resources in a rookie director like Murphy. As long as he signs a contract with CAA, Bill Rossis will become his exclusive agent.

The signing between the two parties is also very simple. After the intention was reached, Murphy brought his lawyer Robert to Century City. In the building leased by CAA, Bill Rossis and a business lawyer from CAA were already waiting in a small room. in the conference room.

CAA signs some new people every year, and many of them can be successful, but before these people succeed, they all lack attention, and Murphy is no exception. This kind of signing is more of a routine.

"Welcome to CAA."

After signing the contract, Bill Rossis shook hands with Murphy solemnly, "Here, your future is unlimited."

This is just a casual conversation. What CAA signed with someone like him is just an internship contract similar to the one that a big company signs with an intern. It is a very basic brokerage contract. Give up anytime.

Correspondingly, the contract's restrictions on contracting customers are not particularly severe. If the two parties do not want to cooperate, they will not pay much liquidated damages.

This kind of contract will only be used for newcomers like Murphy. As long as they can make a name for themselves, CAA will immediately issue a new contract.

Compared with these scenes, Murphy paid more attention to practical things. When the two lawyers left, he said directly, "Bill, I need a post-production room with perfect equipment and relatively cheap rent."

"No problem." Bill Rossis didn't refuse, he said simply, "You wait for my good news."

Originally, Murphy wanted to rent the post-production studio of Channel 6, but after contacting Carla Faith, he gave up this plan. The post-production studio of Channel 6 could only be rented by time slot, which did not meet his needs at all.

This is Los Angeles, the center of the world's film industry. It is not difficult to rent a post-production studio, but after the preliminary preparation and shooting, the salary of the crew has just been settled. With the $300,000 in Murphy's hands, there is only a little left. To $50,000, and then there are expenses for editor salaries and soundtrack copyright fees, and the rent that can be used to pay is very limited.

The studio you want to rent is fully equipped and the rent is cheap...this is difficult.

Without waiting for Murphy to leave, Bill Rossis took out his mobile phone and made several consecutive calls, showing the ability and network of a professional entertainment broker. Find the right post-production room."

"OK!" Murphy is not an idiot, you can see that Bill Rossis is showing his strength to him, "I'm waiting for your good news."

He stood up to say goodbye, and Bill Rossis added, "Wait."

Murphy looked at him and asked, "Anything else?"

"How long will your film take to complete?" Bill Rossis said before Murphy answered, "I can help you get a chance to participate in the Saint Denis Film Festival if all the production can be completed before the new year.

"

Hearing this, Murphy immediately became interested. The Saint Denis Film Festival is a paradise for independent films. Although the entry threshold is low, there are certain requirements to enter the official exhibition link.

According to his understanding, if you want to participate in the Saint Denis Film Festival, instead of screening on the roadside during the festival, you need to apply in advance. After the application is approved, the organizing committee will send an invitation letter, and you can only participate if you receive the invitation letter.

Of course, if it is some excellent films or filmmakers, the producers of the Sundance Film Festival will send invitations directly.

Murphy doesn't think it's there yet.

"I'll try my best." He left this sentence before leaving.

Just like filming, he is also a novice in post-production, and who knows what kind of difficulties he will encounter.

Leaving the conference room, Murphy turned into the elevator room, waited for a while, the elevator came down from the top, thinking about some problems in post-production, he entered the elevator without looking up.

Walking into the elevator, Murphy immediately felt that something was wrong. He felt that there was something very tall on the left, which almost completely covered him. He quickly turned his head to see that a black man about six feet six inches was standing there like an iron tower. He also turned to look.

"It's you!" The black man's tone was rather unkind.

"Hello..." Murphy greeted calmly, "Long time no see, Mr. Bryant."

The person on the left is the Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant.

Kobe Bryant didn't expect that he would come to CAA to do business, and he would meet this shameless guy, and his fist clenched subconsciously immediately.

Murphy was tense and ready to fight.

But Kobe Bryant was more rational than he thought, snorted coldly, but didn't do it.

There are really not many reckless people who can become top superstars. Murphy looked up at his black face, Kobe Bryant staring at him condescendingly.

The elevator door dinged open at this time, and Murphy got out of the elevator before Kobe Bryant. It was probably working hours, and there was no one in the elevator room on the first floor.

Kobe Bryant in the back also got out of the elevator, but Murphy turned around and stretched out a hand, "Let's get to know him formally, Mr. Bryant, I'm Murphy Stanton, a film director."

"What?" Kobe Bryant and Ben didn't mean to shake his hand, but looked surprised, "Aren't you a paparazzi?"

Murphy shrugged, "I'm a director and I'm in the same agency as you."

Without waiting for Kobe Bryant's reaction, Murphy took out a business card and stuffed it into his big hand, "If you're interested in acting in a movie, you can call me."

After speaking, Murphy nodded to him, turned and walked out of the elevator.

Kobe Bryant in the back was a little stunned. He first looked at Murphy's back and then at the business card in his hand. This was definitely the most shameless and cheeky person he had ever met.

Throwing the business card in the trash, Kobe Bryant also left.

In less than five days, Bill Rossis had secured the lease of the post-production studio for Murphy. Murphy went to see it himself. The leased studio was located in Burbank, a small production studio under Disney. The film company had all the equipment in it, and he spent another $30,000 to get the right to use it for the next two months.

This price is not expensive, and Bill Rossis played a lot of role in it.

After the two parties signed the formal lease contract, Murphy and Griffith and Paul Wilson, who was willing to act as an assistant, moved directly into the studio with a large amount of film.
