The answer to this question is obvious.

"Kerry, if you choose a literary film..." Murphy tried to analyze the pros and cons for her, "That means that no one will pay attention to it for many years. In the next five or ten years, you can only be an actor, and even after thirty After five years of prime time, you're still an actor."

Today's Hollywood is no longer the Hollywood of the past. How many actresses really became famous in the independent film circle? There are even fewer who become superstars.

The acting stars of the new generation all took a different path than their predecessors. They became popular in blockbuster movies and became household names in the United States. In small productions, the characters are meticulously created to win professional awards.

This is Hollywood. Even if the academics despise business, their popularity and commercial achievements can also become qualifications.

Moreover, after becoming famous, he is also eligible to bargain with film producers and distributors, and can win more award-winning resources for himself.

Compared with suffering in literary films and waiting for opportunities with extremely small chances, this is the real road to fame and fortune.

Of course, if you just want to be an actor, it doesn't matter.

"I see," Carey Mulligan nodded, "With enough box office, even if I don't get the award, I can still be popular. Right, Murphy."

"You're getting smarter." Murphy pinched her nose, the circle was too chaotic, and he also wanted to protect his girlfriend, "My projects are aimed at the market, and I dare not say that every one can be a big hit." Selling, at least there is no problem entering theaters for large-scale screenings."

It's a lot better than the ones that are made to go to the videotape market.

"Damn it!" Carey Mulligan knocked off Murphy's hand, leaned over and kissed him lightly on the face, "Then I'll just wait for you to make me famous."

Murphy laughed, but he sighed in his heart. The noir-style movies he is good at are actually not very suitable for female characters.

But he can also make some changes. For example, in the new project, compared with the previous version, he changed a role specifically for Carey Mulligan, and the role is only less than the hero and heroine.

"I'm going back first." Carey Mulligan opened the door to get out of the car, and warned before closing the car door, "Drive slowly."

Murphy nodded,

Started the car again.

In the past, many people studied Oscar winners and queens, and were surprised to find that all Oscar winners or queens had starred in literary films, so they came to a strange conclusion that if they did not act in literary films, they would not be able to act in literary films. Can't get an Oscar.

Is this really the case?

If the same opportunity is presented to an actor who wants to become famous, one is the protagonist of a pure popcorn production, and the other is the protagonist of a literary film, which one should he choose?

If this person is Kerry, Murphy will do everything possible to let her take over the former.

If the big production is successful, it will be enough to make the protagonist popular and become a second-tier or even higher-ranking star. If the latter is successful, unless he can really get an Oscar ticket, there will still be a lack of attention.

But how many films can compete for Oscars every year?

Even if it fails, the big production will still be vigorous, triggering countless discussions; literary films will only be unknown, and as for the lead actor, who will pay attention to who he is?

Celebrities need attention! "Vanity Fair" editor-in-chief Tina Brown said that the words are most suitable for stars - it is better to be talked about than not talked about.

After all, Hollywood is a business circle, and all the official feature films invested and produced here all point to the same goal - profit!

After all, those who can bring profits will never lack support, and those who cannot bring will gradually disappear in this circle.

The person Murphy drove to meet was the person who had brought huge benefits to this circle, but now he got involved, and the future of the other party can only be witnessed by time.

The heavy iron door opened and closed, looked up at the dazzling sunlight, Robert Downey Jr. picked up a hat, put it on his head with only short stubble, carried a slightly worn luggage bag, and walked forward , on the side of the road not far from him, a black Cadillac was parked. A man wearing sunglasses was standing in front of the driver's door.

Although the sunlight was a bit dazzling, Robert Downey Jr. recognized who it was at a glance.

He quickened his feet and strode towards that side, "Hey!"

Murphy took off his glasses, raised his right hand, and waved to Robert Downey Jr., "Downey, this way!"

"You're still interesting, not like that old Robert."

Before he came over, Robert Downey Jr.'s long-winded voice came here, "He refused to pick me up, as if he had never taken drugs. I will report him when I go back, and I must let him come in and try it." Taste what it's like to be in prison."

He was not polite at all, opened the rear door, left the backpack on the seat, got into the passenger seat, opened the door when he saw Murphy, and urged, "Can you hurry up, Murphy? I don't know How many years have you been away from the fancy world in Los Angeles? I can't wait to go back now, ah..."

He opened his arms, as if intoxicated in his dream, "How many beauties are welcoming my return!"

Regardless of Robert Downey Jr., Murphy started the car, drove out of the prison area, and drove onto the highway leading to Los Angeles not far away.

"This is still a new car." Robert Downey Jr. woke up from his intoxicated state and looked at the interior of the car curiously. "Where did you borrow it? Could it be Ross's?"

Murphy still ignored him.

Little Robert stared at him with wide eyes, "Don't tell me this is yours!"

Murphy shrugged, as a tacit consent.

"Can you afford such a car?" Robert Downey Jr. didn't believe Murphy's words at all, "Don't be kidding, buddy, stick your head out and see, there's a pig flying outside."

The two had been together in prison for a long time, and he was not polite, "Go and see quickly! Pigs are flying in the sky!"

"Have you forgotten?" Murphy looked at the road ahead, "I told you when I visited last time that I am now a director."

"Oh.my.god!" Robert Downey Jr. exclaimed, pointing to the empty sky in front of him, "Over there, look over there, there is a cow flying in the sky!"

This guy! Murphy felt frustrated.

Robert Downey Jr. is undoubtedly a person who likes to show off very much. When he was in prison, he often showed off his star status. When he first heard that he wanted to become a director, he was extremely mocking.

Murphy also wants to show off, and find some place to come back, the current effect...

"Didn't you ask old Robert?" Murphy couldn't help turning his head and glanced at him. Robert Downey Jr., who was out of prison, was like a monkey returning to the jungle. "Didn't you pay attention to the news about this?"

"Do you think I will still believe what you said? How many people did you deceive in prison?" Robert Downey Jr. smiled disdainfully, "There are so many beauties waiting for me in Los Angeles, I plan dates every day, There is no time for your lies."

He adjusted the seat backwards, raised his feet and put them in front of the windshield, "Say it, Murphy. It's not shameful, who are you younger brother now?"

In prison, he needs the protection of the other party, but out of prison, Robert Downey Jr. thinks it's two different things.

"Your feet!"

As soon as Murphy raised his finger, Robert Downey Jr. took his foot off reflexively, and it landed on the floor before he realized that he was still a little afraid of this guy...

Robert Jr. patted his chest lightly. This is not a prison, and it is impossible for this guy Murphy to use those insidious methods against him.

"Here is "Premiere," Murphy pointed to the storage compartment of the co-pilot, "You can read it yourself."

"It's so mysterious..." Robert Downey Jr. chattered, and opened the storage compartment. There was indeed a magazine inside, and it was a familiar one.

He took it out, flipped through it quickly, and only saw the fourth page, and then showed an expression of disbelief.

"How is this possible?" he almost called out, "Murphy Stanton's $800,000 investment film "Chain Saw" finally withdrew from theaters with a North American box office of $61.89 million!"

"Someone with the same name as you?" This was Robert Downey Jr.'s first reaction.

Murphy shook his head.

Robert Downey Jr. closed the magazine, looked first at the front cover, then at the back cover, and after reading it over and over several times, he exclaimed, "You paid for this to be printed, right?"

"Am I so boring?" Murphy raised the corners of his mouth and sarcastically said, "I will do such a stupid thing that you can dismantle in a few hours? Or do you think I am stupid?"

"But..." Robert Downey Jr.'s words were stuck in his throat.

The Murphy he knew was insidious and cunning, so cruel that even Ross was afraid, and he was very interesting to his friends, but he was not a fool who did such boring things.

Is this all true? He turned his head slowly, the suspicion in his eyes was turning into shock bit by bit!

Robert Downey Jr. pointed at Murphy, "That director...no...couldn't be you, could it?"

"Is it necessary for me to lie to you?" Murphy speeded up the car, "I told you many times that I want to be a director, you just don't believe me."

"But you're clearly a paparazzi!" he yelled again.

"A freelance journalist!" Murphy corrected.

What annoys him the most is Robert Downey Jr.'s mouth, which can drive people crazy when they quarrel.

"Okay, okay, okay..." Robert Downey Jr. spread his hands, "Even if it's all true, what does it matter to me?"

He tilted his head and looked Murphy up and down, "I... Got it! Murphy, are you trying to show off in front of me? Well, you succeeded!"

Robert Downey Jr. made a very exaggerated expression, "I'm shocked by you now!"

As he spoke, he stretched his head over.

Murphy stretched out his hand and pushed his head back, "Donnie, I'm telling you this, of course I have a business to do." (To be continued.)
