"Nine o'clock tomorrow morning? Okay, no problem."

In the secluded bathroom of the restaurant, Murphy listened to the voice on the phone and continued, "Please prepare your projection equipment, then, see you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, he let out a breath, walked to the sink, washed the handle, cold water fell on his hand, and gradually calmed down because of the hot head of the four phone calls that came one after another, although Lionsgate, Morris Entertainment, M Both Lamax and Fox Searchlight called to hold a trial meeting within the company, but Murphy knew that the success of the film was still far away.

Walking out of the bathroom, Murphy found at the head of the corridor, Carey Mulligan, with his hands behind his back, the doll was walking back and forth with a look of anxiety, obviously waiting for him.

"You've finally come out." She saw Murphy and immediately went up to meet him. "I've been planning to let Paul go in after so long."

"What can I do?" Murphy dragged her out and said as he walked, "I answered two more calls."

Carey Mulligan asked concerned, "Is it still the publishing company?"

"Fox Searchlight and Miramax." He looked up at his watch. "Lunch can't continue. Let's go back and make preparations."

"Yeah." Carey Mulligan knew the importance of distribution.

Not only for Murphy, but also for herself. Although the first film was released, there are almost no fans who know her. Even those who took the acting class together, few think that she has starred in a real film. When talking about the movie, they thought she was joking.

One nasty English girl, in particular, always teased her about it.

Back in a semi-open private room, Murphy saw Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, two fat guys still eating Hesse, and Bill Rossis whispering beside James Franco , His idea of ​​poaching corners is not new, but James Franco has not given a positive response.

Murphy clapped his palms hard, and the other four looked over. He said, "This is the end of the last lunch. Miramax and Fox Searchlight also called. We should go back and make preparations."

These few people were not dissatisfied, but their faces were full of smiles, especially Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, who participated in the film for the first time. These two fat people raised their hands and clapped each other, shouting loudly, "Yes!"

Making a gesture of pressing down, Murphy said, "Tomorrow morning we are going to two companies to hold a trial meeting."

He looked at his agent, "Bill, if you have time, can you and Jonah take a copy to Morris Entertainment?"

Bill Rosses nodded without thinking, "No problem, leave it to me."

Although he is not a professional producer, he has watched the film several times since the fine editing was completed, and he is very confident.

Murphy looked at Seth Rogen again, "Follow me to Miramax."

It is not difficult to see from the arrangement that Murphy has great expectations for Miramax, who has already cooperated once.

"Hey! And me!" James Franco raised his hand, "Where am I going?"

He felt as if he was being excluded from a small group, which was a bad feeling.

Bill Rossis shook his head at Murphy, "Jonah and I are enough."

Murphy shook his head at James Franco, "You will be my full-time driver tomorrow."

Taking Carey Mulligan's coat from the hanger by the door, Murphy put it on for her, and said to those people, "Hurry up, we have to get a copy."

The community where Stanton's studio is located is not very safe. The copy was stored by Murphy in a professional security company.

This company has a very good reputation in Hollywood, and many film companies will also deposit copies of new films there.

I have to go to Miramax at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and the copy must be taken out in advance.

After paying the bill, Murphy left the restaurant, called to make an appointment, then drove to Beverly Hills, took out the copy from there, and sent Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, who had no car for the time being, to the room they just rented together. place, and then back to Stanton Studios.

After parking the car, Murphy asked Carey Mulligan to open the door, and he opened the trunk to move the copy film inside.

"I'll help you," Carey Mulligan came back with a thud, reaching out to take the round film box in Murphy's hand, "give it to me."

"take a break."

The film looks weightless, and the layers are laminated together, but they are actually quite heavy. Murphy picked up one in each hand and walked towards the door.

Carey Mulligan looked at his back, then at the copies that were stuffed in the trunk, without thinking too much, picked up one, closed the trunk, and followed Murphy.

The copy was a bit heavy, and she clenched her teeth tightly, unwilling to give up easily.

After entering the living room to put down the copy, Murphy heard footsteps behind him and turned to look. Carey Mulligan's white forehead was covered with sweat drops, and he hurried over to take the film box in her hand.

He leaned over and kissed her gently on the forehead, "You..."

Carey Mulligan crossed his hips and took a few breaths, "I just want to help you."

"I know." Looking at the sweat left on her forehead, Murphy didn't say much, and patted her shoulder affectionately, "Let's go."

Of course he wouldn't let Carey Mulligan continue to do such a rough job, if nothing else, the high heels she was wearing didn't fit.

Opening the back box, Murphy picked up two more reels of film. Seeing that Carey Mulligan wanted to help again, he said, "You are here looking at the copy. This is all our possessions."

Hearing this, Carey Mulligan retracted his hand and nodded solemnly.

After packing up the copies, both of them were sweating. Now it is mid-June, and Los Angeles has entered the hottest season. After taking a shower in the bathroom, Murphy and Carey Mulligan no longer plan to go downstairs and hide in the In the master bedroom on the second floor, enjoy the coolness brought by the air conditioner.

Carey Mulligan sat on a sofa with his legs curled up and his hands hugging his knees, "I really hope the film can enter the theater soon."

"In a hurry?" Murphy poured a glass of water, put it on the small table in front of her, pulled a chair, and sat across from her, "Don't worry, trust me, our film will definitely be screened in theaters. "

"I just wanted to prove to the guys in the acting class..." She looked up at Murphy, "I've been the lead actress in a real feature film."

Hearing this, Murphy understood that this was caused by the little girl's show-off mentality, and stretched out his hand to pinch the cute baby's face, "When the movie is released, you can invite them to the theater to watch the movie."

"I don't have any money..." Carey Mulligan frowned worryingly, "My salary is all given to the acting school. There are too many people in the acting class, and my money is too little."

"I can help you out." Murphy looked at the hem of Carey Mulligan's short pajamas, "You have to figure out what to exchange."

Carey Mulligan couldn't understand this kind of funny words. He jumped up from the sofa, stepped over the table and rushed up, and his whole body was pressed on Murphy.

The night was long, and when the sun rose again, there were more important things waiting for Murphy to do. To be continued.
