Hollywood Road

"Sorry, Carrie, I can't go shopping with you."

Elizabeth Banks put away her mobile phone, with an uncontrollable sense of loss and frustration on her face, "My manager will let me meet him now."

With that, she stood up.

"Liz, wait!" Carey Mulligan held her back, her delicate baby face seemed to be more anxious than the other party, "How could it not be you? Paul clearly said that Murphy liked you very much? Yes Isn't there something wrong?"

Elizabeth Banks also hoped that something was wrong. Such an opportunity to play the leading actress is really rare for her.

Missing this opportunity, she didn't even know how long she would have to wait for the next heroine.

"Is it really a mistake?" Elizabeth Banks also hoped so, she said hopefully, "Kerry, can you..."

It was a bit difficult to say this, but thinking about her future, she still tried to say it, "Can you ask Murphy for me?"

Carey Mulligan is my friend and the director's girlfriend, maybe...

Although she knew that the possibility of making a mistake was very small, Elizabeth Banks still wanted to fight for it. After all, she and Carey Mulligan had a really good friendship.

"Yeah!" Carey Mulligan nodded heavily, took out his mobile phone and dialed Murphy's number, but no one answered.

She frowned and called again, still the same result.

"What's going on?" Carey Mulligan looked anxious.

Compared with Elizabeth Banks, who is anxious and lonely but still maintains a calm face, Carey Mulligan is just like in the past, not good at hiding her emotions at all.

In other words, a person like her who showed her emotions didn't learn to hide it in a short time.

After all, she was still a sixteen-year-old girl.

Seeing that Carey Mulligan couldn't get through to Murphy's phone, Elizabeth Banks' heart sank and she bit her lip hard, "Kerry, I'd better go see my agent first."

Seeing his friend's mournful expression, Carey Mulligan scratched his short, shattered blond hair anxiously, "You go to see your manager first, and I'll go to Murphy and ask what's going on."

She was even more anxious than Elizabeth Banks.

No one is willing to give up this kind of opportunity. Elizabeth Banks still had her last hope, nodded and said, "Thank you, Carrie, I..."

Carey Mulligan stepped forward and hugged Elizabeth Banks gently, "There is no need to say thank you between us."

She picked up the phone and shook it, "Keep in touch."

The two left the cold drink shop separately. Carey Mulligan dialed Murphy's number again, but still couldn't get through. His brows were wrinkled anxiously, and he looked anxious, as if the end of the world was coming.

She hailed a taxi first, and then called the manager's phone number. As soon as the phone was connected, she hurriedly shouted, "Bill, what happened? Why can't Murphy's number get through?"

The person on the other side seemed startled by the high-pitched voice, and it took a while for the words to come through, "I just left the set in Venice, and Murphy turned off his phone..."

Before he finished speaking, Carey Mulligan interrupted anxiously, "Why?"

"The crew announced the audition results today," the other side explained briefly. "Some people asked Murphy for their connections. These are very annoying. He turned off his mobile phone, because he didn't want the unsuccessful people to ask for their connections to disturb him."

Carey Mulligan's brows immediately frowned, the loser? trust relationship? Isn't this me and Elizabeth Banks?

He is avoiding me? Carey Mulligan asked again, "Is Murphy still on the set in Venice?"

After getting an affirmative answer, she hung up the phone, waited for the taxi to arrive, got in the car and rushed directly to Venice, planning to ask Murphy what was going on.

"The photographic effect is darker and yellowish, and it's okay,"

In the office of the Venice studio, several people of Murphy sat in front of a monitor, looking at the experimental samples taken by Philip Lascher. He pointed to the snowflakes representing the film scratches on it, "Remove these, the picture must be Keep enough clarity."

He is not Robert Rodriguez, and he will not deliberately pursue the grindhouse film style of the 1960s and 1980s. The most direct effect of doing that is that the clarity is not enough. No matter how good it was, it was all disastrous.

There are indeed many nostalgic people, but the times are developing, and the outdated technologies that have been eliminated are indeed not suitable for this era.

"This is the best." Kim Kleiman, representing the guarantor, fully agrees with Murphy's words, "This can save the film from deliberate aging and save a lot of expenses."

His biggest task is to control costs and ensure that the film can be completed on schedule.

Erica Steinberg nodded in agreement, "Also remove the noise."

He sits in the most marginal position, but rarely speaks. At non-essential moments, a smart producer will maintain the central position of the director on the set.

The preparation and shooting of the crew is always led by the director, and it is impossible for a director to break away from the preliminary preparation. He is basically satisfied with the work Murphy has done. This director is indeed young and inexperienced in some aspects, but he is very Those who know how to learn will never repeat the mistakes they have made.

Murphy and the others were still discussing to determine the final picture style of the film. The office door was suddenly knocked from outside, and before Murphy could speak, someone pushed the door and walked in.

Carey Mulligan walked in with an anxious expression on his face. It seemed that he only had Murphy in his eyes, and he didn't even look at anyone else. "Why is your phone turned off? I can't even reach you!"

"Oh, I turned it off." Murphy thought she was so anxious that she couldn't contact him, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you."

Carey Mulligan strode over to Murphy, and asked as he walked, "Is the heroine confirmed? Why isn't it Liz!"

She rushed over in a hurry, and there was inevitably a hint of questioning in her tone.

Erica Steinberg and Kim Kleiman looked at Murphy, then at Carey Mulligan, and finally at each other, wondering who that Liz was.

"Murphy, did you make a mistake?" Carey Mulligan didn't notice other people at all, and with her personality, she didn't care about those people, and she would say whatever came to her mind, "A while ago you weren't Are you optimistic about Liz? What's going on?"

"Liz? When did I say she was the heroine?" Murphy frowned and looked at the others, "Okay, Carrie, I'll talk later if I have something to say, you go out and wait for a while, I'm now what about work."

Carey Mulligan froze, "You... you want me out?"

How can something be said on this occasion? Murphy nodded, "You go out first."

"You drive me away?" Carey Mulligan pointed at himself, "My good friend is sad, and you don't give me a reasonable explanation, and you want to drive me away?"

Her current mood is completely written on her face, and her baby face is so gloomy that it can drip water.

Philip Lascher coughed lightly, looked at Murphy, "Why don't you come here first today."

"No need!" Carey Mulligan also heard what Phil Raschel said, and she hurried over, just wanting a reasonable answer, a reason for losing the election that she could at least explain to her good friend. Unexpectedly, this is the situation. The Murphy who held her in his hand before wants to drive her out!

She stared at Murphy, "I'm going!"

"Kerry..." Just as Murphy was about to say something, Carey Mulligan turned his head and walked out of the office, closing the door forcefully with his backhand, making a loud bang.

Looking at the closed door, Murphy frowned slightly, what's going on?

Compared with Kim Kleiman and Erica Steinberg, who have been watching the show, Philip Raschel has a better relationship with Murphy. He pointed Murphy with his finger and reminded, "Why are you in a daze?" , go and have a look."

Thinking of Carey Mulligan's rebellion under the cover of innocence, Murphy quickly stood up, "Sorry, let's stop here for today."

After speaking, he quickly chased after him, but for a while, Carey Mulligan was no longer in sight.

After asking two people in a row, Murphy realized that she ran out of the set and strode out of the warehouse. The warehouse is some distance from the urban area, and the surrounding area looks relatively deserted. Looking around, I can only see a car passing by in the distance. Far away, there is no one.

He took out his mobile phone and turned it on, then dialed Carey Mulligan's number, and was hung up after several calls in a row.

This is not the way, Murphy also called Bill Rossis, then went to the parking lot to drive his own car, and turned around the warehouse.

Murphy was driving the car, recalling everything that happened just now, Kerry was still the same Kerry before, and hadn't changed because of being with him. When following her, she was an innocent and beautiful angel, but when it was the other way around, she Still the rebellious girl.

In the past, no matter what he objected to, he always persuaded her by insinuating, this time...

Murphy shook his head. At the wrong time, at the wrong place, in front of the wrong person, she asked such a question, how would he answer it?

"Bad Murphy! Bastard Murphy!"

In the co-pilot of a car, Carey Mulligan was sobbing and muttering in a low voice, "Is that what you did to me? You drove me away!"

Tears had already flowed down her cheeks. She was crying very sadly and also very angry. Where did that understanding Murphy who couldn't even speak loudly to her go?

Carey Mulligan felt that his sky had collapsed, and he couldn't help but think of his parents who fell out because of being an actor. What is the difference between Murphy now and them?

"What's the matter, Kerry?" The person in the driver's seat asked, "Isn't this like you?"

"It's nothing." Carey Mulligan wiped the tears from his face and sobbed, "It's just a bad mood."

"Where are you going?"

"Whatever." She looked ahead, "Mike, are you going back to Century City? I'll go there."

Mike glanced at her curiously, "What happened?" (To be continued.)
