The next day, Gal Gadot did not go to the set, but accompanied Murphy to the trial. Not only Murphy, but Robert Downey Jr. also arrived.

Sitting in the gallery and hearing the final verdict, Murphy was disappointed at first, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Gal Gadot, who was next to him, watched Rose being escorted away, and could guess that Murphy must be in a complicated mood. He reached out and grabbed his hand, and shook it firmly as if comforting.

Robert on the other side patted Murphy's arm lightly and said in a low voice, "We've done our best."

Murphy nodded slightly. Of course, he knew that the legal team had really tried their best. Based on the evidence held by the police and the prosecution, it was not easy to win the current penalty for Ross.

It is absolutely impossible for Rose to be acquitted like Simpson. Murphy knew this very early on, so the greatest hope is that Rose will not be sentenced to death. After all, he is not only involved in drugs and arms, but also involved in many murders. .

At any rate, the purpose was accomplished, and Ross was sentenced to eighty years in prison.

He was born in the 1970s. According to normal circumstances, the eighty years of imprisonment basically means that Rose will spend the rest of his life in prison.

However, there are no clauses such as no commutation or parole in the sentence, which also means that there is still room for operation later.

The first priority is to save Rose's life, and then we can talk about other things.

At the end of the trial, Murphy and Gal Gadot joined Robert Downey Jr. and walked outside together with the crowd.

"I didn't expect to do so much," Robert Downey Jr. shook his head while walking, "It's still the same result."

Murphy patted him on the shoulder lightly, "It's already the best result."

Knowing that what Murphy said was true, Robert Downey Jr. could only heave a long sigh.

Several people quickly walked to the exit of the courthouse. Gal Gadot glanced outside and could vaguely see a lot of reporters, and quickly waved to the back. The four bodyguards brought by her and Murphy, plus Xiao The recognition brought by Robert Downey, a total of eight strong men surrounded the three of them.

Just as Murphy stepped out of the gate, countless reporters frantically rushed over like flies smelling blood. The flashes of the cameras were connected together, and the sound of the shutter was clearly audible.

"Director Stanton, it is said that you are involved in this case, is it true?"

Of course, the media reporters would not let Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. easily, and they kept throwing all kinds of questions.

"Robert, was your drug use related to this drug cartel?"

"Excuse me, Murphy, did your starting capital as a director come from this drug cartel?"

"It is said that the two of you have financial ties to them?"

"There is definite news that the FBI is investigating you, is that so?"

Eight burly men kept the reporters out. Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. were not interested in answering any questions. It was inappropriate to say anything at this time. Their friendship with Rose was hyped by the media as early as the investigation stage of the case. After that, the FBI also conducted a targeted investigation, but the two parties were friends, but they did not involve any economic or other exchanges. It was as clean as a blank sheet of paper.

Under the protection of bodyguards, the three of Murphy quickly squeezed in front of the car. After getting into the car, the reporter still refused to disperse and continued to surround the car to take pictures. After nearly 20 minutes, the black seven-seater commercial vehicle Only then gradually drove away from the vicinity of the court.

"How much is the lawyer's fee?" Robert Downey Jr. suddenly asked.

Murphy waved his hand, "Don't worry about these things."

He knew that Robert Downey Jr. wanted to bear Rose's legal fees, which indeed cost a huge sum of money, but for him, it was nothing at all.

Robert Downey Jr. wanted to speak, but seeing Murphy shaking his head again, he simply closed his mouth.

Gal Gadot, who was sitting in front, looked back at the two men. In some ways, whether it was Murphy or Robert Downey Jr.,

Such an excuse for Ross is easy to attract criticism, but they don't care at all.

"I hope this matter ends here." This is the real thought in Gal Gadot's heart.

Although she knew that there was no conflict of interest between Murphy and Rose, and it was impossible to incur legal punishment, the more she participated, the worse it would be for Murphy's reputation.

After all, he is a big director, not an ordinary rich man.

But Murphy didn't think so at all. After putting down Robert Downey Jr., he called the lawyer Robert.

"The sentence is now pronounced." Murphy's voice was a little low, "Robert, arrange for me to meet with Ross as soon as possible."

Gal Gadot opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

She didn't know how Robert on the other side answered, but she heard Murphy say again, "The sooner the better."

Murphy hung up the phone and took Gal Gadot's hand, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I can still bear the pressure of public opinion."

Over the years, has he received less criticism? From homosexuality to drug trafficking to psychopathy, the public opinion that attacks him is not much less than praise, but his psychological quality is good enough to completely ignore these criticisms.

Even if the media and tabloids once again used his relationship with Rose to hype, Murphy didn't care. Words were indeed terrifying, but they couldn't hurt him. He always believed that actions were more powerful than words.

Therefore, from the beginning to the present of Ross's case, he didn't say too much, but he did nothing less. If he didn't spend a lot of money to hire an entire team of super luxurious lawyers, Ross would definitely be sentenced to death .

It may not even wait for the trial, and a series of accidents will occur.

The judiciary system of this country is very beautiful in publicity, but in fact? All the crows in the world are generally black.

Perhaps because of the experience in the prison, Murphy will start from the worst side most of the time when he looks at the country and society of the United States, as well as the human nature here.

This caused him to be too realistic, and the psychological level seemed a bit dark, but this is also good. If you don't have those unrealistic fantasies, you won't be confused by fantasies.

Murphy and Gal Gadot did not go back to Beverly Hills, but went to the set in Venice, where they saw Philip Raschel, who had just been released by the police. The director of photography was not in a good state of mind. it is good.

"It's fine." Murphy patted his arm lightly, "Without you, I don't even know how to make a movie."

Fili Raschel scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, "Sorry, Murphy."

Murphy shook his head, "It's okay. In this way, you rest for two days and report to the crew the day after tomorrow."

With Philip Lascher's current state of mind, it is not suitable to start working immediately. It is better to let him rest for two days temporarily, and then come to the crew to serve as his director of photography after he recovers.

"Yeah." Philip Raschel nodded vigorously, "Then I'll go back first."

Murphy asked the driver of the crew to take Philip Raschel back to avoid another accident. For him as a director, Philip Raschel, the director of photography, is very important.

It is no exaggeration to say that the photographer Philip Lascher is one of the most important people in Murphy's team.

If the photographer shoots an excellent actor in a mediocre way, the result will be disappointing; if the photographer shoots an exquisite scene without creativity, the investment in the film will be wasted; Great story, sure to be boring.

A director who cares about his own movie should pay attention to every shot taken by the photographer.

Exquisite lens design can be said to be a gift from the photographer to the audience.

One of the abilities that movie stars all have is the ability to tell a gripping and memorable story, and to create a world that confuses the real with the real, just like Murphy and Philip Lascher, in fact, many directors will have a preference Photographers, such as the Coen brothers and Roger Deakins; such as Paul Thomas Anderson and Robert Estwitt and so on.

As long as the director and photographer call, there will be a wonderful chemical reaction. Usually, the better the director of photography is when shooting, the better the effect of the movie lens will be.

However, photographers also have their own style. Some photographers show their own unique style in each of their films, and some photographers will focus on the characters first, and then render the atmosphere.

Every photographer has a very different perspective to observe the world, so Murphy will not change the director of photography easily, because after so many years of cooperation, Philip Lascher cooperates with him tacitly, and is the most suitable photographer for him .

Frankly speaking, the reputation of the photographer is very limited, even the photographer who has won the Oscar for best photography is no exception. Although the photographer has done a lot of work and participated in almost every production link and process of the film, generally speaking, After the movie is released, the director will be praised or criticized by the audience, the producer can get profits, but the photographer becomes an "unsung hero". Often, the audience will know who the director of a movie is, but not the photographer. who is it.

In Murphy's team, Philip Lascher is not only involved in the pre-production and on-site shooting, but once the pre-production, on-site shooting, etc. are completed, he will also participate in the post-production of the film, although he will not directly participate in the film's narrative editing etc., but the cinematographer will usually work with colorists and editors to further fine-tune and refine issues such as visual themes and backgrounds of the film.

In the next two days, Murphy still served as the director of photography, but the speed of shooting continued to lag behind the plan. It was not until Philip Raschel returned to the crew that the speed of shooting gradually returned to normal. An important position can also stand in for one's own work efficiency.

After ten days, the filming was not only on track, but also recovered the progress of the plan. It was at this time that Murphy received a notice from Robert and came to the California State Prison, which he was once familiar with, and met Ross who had not seen him for a long time.
