"This is the entertainment channel of the Fox Television Network. I am everyone's old friend Benjamin Draxler. I will send you a live report from the Hollywood Chinese Theater in Los Angeles."

Standing in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, Benjamin Draxler continued to the camera with the front entrance of the theater and a poster of the Hollywood Hills collapsing in the background, "Today is November 17th, and Thanksgiving is getting closer and closer. , "The End of the World" chose to be released on the weekend before Thanksgiving, which also shows the strong confidence of the film studio."

There was a burst of cheers from the red carpet. Benjamin Draxler turned his head and saw that he was not a big star, and continued, "This R-rated movie directed by Seth Rogen and starring all the Stanton gangsters The sci-fi comedy is having its world premiere in Los Angeles, and we've already shown you the video of the Stantons on the red carpet, including Murphy Stanton and his crew, and Emma Watson , Rihanna and other guest stars were present to help out. In addition, James Murdoch, an important figure in News Corporation, and his stepmother Wendy Deng also attended the premiere... The film will be officially released in North America tomorrow."

Under the guidance of Benjamin Draxler, the camera lens moved slowly, and finally aimed at the activity area in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

He cooperated with the screen and said, "At the premiere, the self-directed, written and acted 'Stanton Party member' Seth Rogen showed up with his new girlfriend Lauren Miller lovingly, and Alan Miller, who had a wonderful spoof performance in the film Ma Watson, Paul Rudd, Jay Baruchel and other stars also came to the scene, and famous director Murphy Stanton showed up to help."

The camera panned from Murphy to Emma Watson.

Benjamin Draxler's voice-over continues, "'Little Witch' Emma Watson's short hair* head style this time, revealing a beautiful face is very amazing, and a tube top trousers is also very chic, in the camera ex laughing, sexy and cute..."

"What's more interesting..." Benjamin Draxler introduced again, "All the stars in this film appear in real identities, Emma Watson, Nicolas Cage, Paul Rudd, David -Kruholtz and Rihanna, the sexy pop diva, will both make spoof appearances in the film."

As the reporter named Benjamin Draxler said, the premiere scene was star-studded. Apart from the Stanton party headed by Murphy, there were also stars from all walks of life gathered.

Murphy and the crew took a group photo in front of the sponsor's billboard. After the group photo was over, Emma Watson came over and said, "Murphy, can we take a photo together?"

"Of course." Murphy replied with a smile.

Gal Gadot voluntarily left in front of the billboard.

Perhaps Murphy's reputation is loud enough, getting acquainted with a director may also bring some unexpected benefits. In addition to Emma Watson, Paul Rudd, Rihanna and Nicolas Cage also came to cooperate with Murphy film.

After taking the photo, Murphy was blocked by several reporters just as he left here.

"Director Stanton, I'm Benjamin Draxler from Fox Entertainment Channel..."

Because of his affiliation with 20th Century Fox, Benjamin Draxler easily took the most favorable position for the interview, and sent the microphone to Murphy, "Can you talk about your performance in the film "The End of the World" ?"

Murphy thought about it for a while, and repeated the old saying, "In this movie, we all have to show different aspects and directions of our characters. This seems crazy enough. And at the same time, we Also, as Rogen asked, to show the jokes. My behavior in the film is completely different from my own habits, although in this movie I am playing myself. It sounds crazy, The reality is, this movie is just so crazy. Maybe we have a little bit of self-awareness, but in this movie, that kind of consciousness doesn't exist at all.

Everything is at the service of jokes and stories. "

Some reporters wanted to ask questions, but Murphy waved his hand, and security personnel came over immediately to separate him from the reporters.

Murphy looked around, but didn't see Gal Gadot. She should have gone in first, so she entered the Hollywood Grand Theater with Robert Downey Jr. and Paul Rudd who came over.

The latter is a member of the 'Bad Guys Gang', and participated in this film at the invitation of Robert Downey Jr. Murphy heard from Robert Downey Jr. that Marvel Studios has confirmed that Paul Rudd will be the director of "Ants". The protagonist of "People".

Entering the Hollywood Chinese Theatre, because it was still early, most of the guests were chatting in the front hall. Such an occasion is a good place for socializing.

The Stanton party members are naturally the focus of the front hall, Murphy also walked over, and Gal Gadot was talking with Seth Rogen's female companion.

"Seth, you bastard..."

Before he got close, Murphy heard Jonah Hill's voice asking for guilt, "You have a girlfriend and you didn't tell us."

James Franco also seemed annoyed, "I'm so disappointed in you!"

Seth Rogen spread his hands and was about to say something when Robert Downey Jr. walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Tell me, Logan, do you want to become a Wolverine? Or a phantom cat?" ?”

Murphy ignored these unprofessional guys and greeted Lauren Miller first.

Lauren Miller shook hands with Murphy, seeing Seth Rogen being besieged by Robert Downey Jr., Jonah Hill and James Franco, he couldn't speak at all, so he stood up and stood up for his man. Friends rescued.

"It's not Logan's fault." She said with a smile, "We only confirmed our relationship last month, and I told him not to make it public."

In fact, Lauren Miller is not a stranger. People like Murphy have known her for a long time. She was one of the producers of the crew when Seth Rogen was filming "The Hangover".

"Lauren Miller is more than a producer."

Just when Robert Downey Jr. was greeting Lauren Miller, Gal Gadot came to Murphy and whispered, "I'm still an actor and screenwriter, and a film she is writing and starring in is being produced by Filmed by Focus Features.”

Murphy nodded slightly. He had heard of Lauren Miller.

The Stanton party members all have their own social networks, which gradually spread out. When there was no one else around Murphy, James Murdoch came over and said hello to Murphy and Gal Gadot.

"How's post-production on the new film?" James Murdoch asked.

"It's the final stage." Murphy gave an answer that reassures investors, "We will definitely not delay the screening in December."

Compared to the obviously less commercial movie, James Murdoch cared more about the other one, and asked, "What about the sequel to Chaos City? When will we start preparations?"

Murphy thought for a while and said, "April or May next year."

James Murdoch thought about Murphy's habits and asked, "Then the summer of 2013 will be released?"

"Well..." Murphy didn't hide anything, "I exchanged opinions with Kara Firth, and the 2013 summer vacation is a good start."

Hearing what he said, James Murdoch felt relieved, and suddenly changed his mind and said, "Murphy, my father likes your videos very much. At the end of this year, do you have time to go to New York for the New Year's dinner? My father has always wanted to meet And you."

Murphy could tell that this was a very sincere invitation. He pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to answer, a woman's voice suddenly sounded from the left of James Murdoch, "If Director Stanton wants to participate, I can send a private jet Come pick you up."

James Murdoch turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and immediately frowned.

At the same time, Murphy cast his gaze over, and a black-haired woman in a red sequined deep V evening dress walked over.

She nodded to James Murdoch expressionlessly, then went straight to Murphy, put on a smile on her face, and stretched out her right hand, "Hello, Director Stanton, I have wanted to get to know you a long time ago, Unfortunately, I never got the chance.”

Murphy shook her right hand lightly, "Hello, Ms. Deng, nice to meet you."

"Call me Wendy." Wendy Deng showed a warm smile, "My friends call me that."

James Murdoch said, "I've already prepared the private jet for Murphy, so I won't work Wendy for you."

Wendy squinted at James Murdoch, "I remember that you are not going to fly to London to attend the hearing recently? Things in London are very troublesome. I guess you won't be able to finish it in a while. I'd better use my Let's fly."

The hidden content of these words may not be understood by others, but Murphy understands that the news group's "hacking gate" incident is getting more and more serious, and the finger is directed at James Murdoch. Several hearings held by the British side have all named News Corp must have James Murdoch in attendance.

"It's just a small matter in the UK." James Murdoch continued with his face unchanged, "I can take a flight to the UK, and the private jet is reserved for Murphy."

He seemed to be conveying his importance to Murphy in this way.

"That's good..." Wendy Deng was obviously not a simple character, "I'll inform your father and let your father make the decision."

As soon as these words came out, James Murdoch's face suddenly looked a little ugly.

Murphy looked at James Murdoch, then at Wendy Deng, and roughly understood.

"Wendy, James..." he said with a smile, "Don't bother me. I'm still not sure about the itinerary for the end of the year. If I'm lucky enough to attend the News Corporation's New Year's dinner, I'll just go there myself."

He has no interest in the conflict between James Murdoch and Wendy Deng, let alone the power struggle within News Corporation.
