Hollywood Road

Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets!

The police acted very quickly, and all the people on the beach were restrained without exception. The reporter with the DV camera saw the police push the people into the police car, turned off the DV camera, and hurried towards his car.

Everything that should be shot has been shot, and the rest is of little value.

When I came to a seven-seater commercial vehicle, the door was pulled open from the inside. The black man showed his head and waved, "Hurry up!"

The reporter with the DV camera hurried into the car and sat next to the black man.

"Drive, go back to the studio!"

The black man first gave instructions to the driver, then took the DV camera, turned on the screen and looked at it. After the commercial vehicle left the road near the sea, he raised his head and said, "Okay! Very good! Great shot!"

The people in the car were all in a good mood, and at this moment they laughed.

"Go back and edit it first." The black man was confident, "Then I will contact CAA."

"Isn't it sold to TV stations or video sites?" The reporter who was holding the DV before asked in confusion, "Why contact CAA?"

"Stupid!" The black man curled his fingers and gave him a shudder, "CAA is Murphy Stanton's agency."

The other person immediately understood, and couldn't help but stick out a thumb, "Boss wants to sell to Murphy Stanton and the media at the same time, earning two shares?"

The black man nodded and said to the man, "I'll contact CAA and contact Murphy-Stanton; you can contact the TV station we cooperate with later."

The man nodded, "Don't worry, boss, don't worry if you leave it to me."

"Also!" the black man finally exhorted, "We don't know each other, and the content sold to both sides was filmed by different people."

"I see!"

These people quickly arrived at their rented office and got busy.

In Century City, a black Bentley car rushed in front of the Death Star Building. The car had just stopped, and before the doorman stepped forward, the rear door was pushed open from inside. Gail Garcia, who was wearing a dark lady suit, Duo quickly got out of the car and quickly walked towards the main entrance of the Death Star Building.

With obvious anxiety on her face, she almost walked as fast as she could. In just a few minutes, she took the elevator to the top floor of the Death Star Building, which was the office of the CAA partner.

"Miss Gadot..."

An assistant approaching greeted Gal Gadot politely. Gal Gadot nodded to him without saying anything. He walked quickly to Bill Rossis' office door and raised his hand He knocked on the door twice, then pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Murphy sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Seeing that Murphy was safe and sound, she was instantly relieved, and her tense face looked much better.

When Murphy saw Gal Gadot rushing over, he quickly stood up and pulled her to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and comforted her, "Honey, I'm fine."

Gal Gadot took the teacup, took a sip, and then looked at Murphy, "I regret it now!"

"Huh?" Murphy didn't understand what she meant.

"Regret not going all out to stop you from making that movie!" Gal Gadot wasn't joking at all, "Regret agreeing with you to use religion as part of the plan!"

Her face became tense again, "Murphy..."

"I'm sorry, honey." Murphy walked over, bent down and hugged her gently, and said, "I made you worry."

Gal Gadot shook her head, but didn't know what to say. Of course she knew what kind of person Murphy was, and she would definitely not change the existing plan because of this kind of thing.

"You have to pay attention to safety in the future." Gal Gadot can only say with a little helplessness, "Don't worry me like today, okay?"

Murphy nodded solemnly, "I promise."

He still cherishes his little life very much.

However, this kind of thing can't scare him. Many directors in Hollywood have faced storms, but few of them will back down.

Besides, if media reporters spread the word, the benefits to his plan will far outweigh the disadvantages.

"Where's Bill?"

Gal Gadot was all focused on Murphy just now, only then did he realize that the owner of the office was not there, "Why didn't you see him?"

Murphy smiled and said, "I asked him to discuss with Grace how to make the most of this incident."

"You..." Gal Gadot rolled his eyes, "It's really typical of your style of doing things."

"Isn't that good?" Murphy spread his hands innocently, "The bodyguards can't let the rotten eggs fall for nothing, can they?"

Although it wasn't a real rotten egg that was thrown at that time, the egg used to smash people, in his understanding, was a veritable rotten egg.

After saying this, Gal Gadot remembered that there was still business to do, and changed the subject, "By the way, I met Catherine Kennedy this morning."

"What did she ask you for?" Murphy didn't have a deep friendship with the group representing Hollywood's Jewish forces.

He looked at Gal Gadot, his girlfriend was an authentic Jew.

"Test!" Gal Gadot said seriously, "Test your attitude through me."

Murphy frowned slightly, "Does Katherine Kennedy have a project suitable for me?"

Katherine Kennedy is best known as a producer, and she is one of the few female gold medal producers in Hollywood.

"Walt Disney basically negotiated the Lucasfilm acquisition with George Lucas, and the rest are details."

George Lucas is going to sell Lucasfilm to Disney has long been known in the industry, Gal Gadot did not explain further, and said, "Katherine Kennedy is George Lucas and Disney At the same time, she is interested in the candidate for the new chief officer, she told me that Disney is preparing to restart the "Star Wars" series, and Disney's top management intends to invite you to be the director."

Walt Disney acquired Lucasfilm one for Industrial Light and Magic, and the other for "Star Wars". Everyone knows that this series will inevitably be pushed into theaters by Disney again.

"Me?" Murphy shook his head directly. "Next time you meet Catherine Kennedy, just tell her that I'm not interested."

Even if he's going to make a sequel, it's going to be a sequel to his own, not taking over the "Star Wars" franchise.

Frankly speaking, there are too many sequel movies in Hollywood, and he hasn't finished shooting his own, so of course he won't go to other companies to blend in.

However, he is also very clear that the "Star Wars" series is indeed easy for a director to succeed.

""Star Wars 7"..." Gal Gadot shook his head and glanced at Murphy again, "It's all sequel movies."

Murphy shrugged, "It's normal."

In the market research department of CAA, he has seen such a set of data showing that the sequel model is popular in Hollywood: In 2011, excluding his "City of Chaos", only "Bridesmaid" was considered an original among the top ten films at the North American box office, and only Ranked tenth, the other "Harry Potter" and "Transformers" are basically sequels, even if they are not sequels, they come from adaptations; judging from the top 50 box office in North America, the income of sequel movies and adapted movies The proportion of the box office has soared from less than 10% in 1998 to more than 70% today.

Even Murphy has to admit that Hollywood, which once represented the highest level of movies, is now on the road of relying on sequel blockbusters.

Hollywood has always been a business circle. In the current situation, it is not so much that major companies rely heavily on the development of sequels, it is better to say that they are always led by the nose by the market.

In order to reduce commercial risks, when they choose the protagonist, they will definitely give priority to roles such as "Captain America" ​​and "Wolverine" that have already been recognized in the market.

After the initial golden age, the real value of the film industry today is not how much box office the film itself brings, but whether it can provide more opportunities for other fields.

Murphy has a clear understanding of this point, and computer games, theme parks, and interactive entertainment all belong to this category.

For example, in the past, Walt Disney spent huge sums of money to build a Star Wars theme park near Disneyland in California. In order to maintain the popularity of the park, it also needed an uninterrupted supply of "Star Wars" series films.

In fact, as a representative of fan culture, the "Star Wars" series has always been known for its loyal fans and derivative consumption of comics, texts, and peripheral products. Since the first film of the series was released in 1977, the consumption of peripheral products has approached 300 million dollars, far exceeding the box office receipts of the series.

Leaving aside the movie box office, Hollywood's greater income comes from peripheral derivative products.

The office door was pushed open from the outside, and Bill Rosses hurried in. Murphy glanced at him, and before he could ask how the discussion was going, Bill Rosses said, "St. Something happened over there again."

Murphy and Gal Gadot stared at him at the same time.

Bill Rosses said as concisely as possible, "The Catholic believer who attacked you, after leaving the Santa Monica Commercial Plaza, for some reason, Daisy from the IMDB discussion group led a few fans to stop him. , and was beaten violently!"

"Good fight!" Gal Gadot blurted out, and after she finished speaking, she shrugged, "That's what I thought."

"Someone called the police." Bill Rosses continued, "Daisy and the others were arrested by the police, and Robert's friend at the police station called me."

Murphy stood up, walked a few steps with a frown, and said, "Well, Bill, you can find out the specific situation as soon as possible."

Fans, especially those like Daisy, are easily linked to him. Murphy knew this very well, and said, "Call Robert again, and ask him to get as much attention as possible about Daisy and others. out on bail."

"Hmm." Bill Rosses immediately thought of another level, "Once such news spreads, fans will recognize you even more."

Just now, Bill Ross's phone rang, and he picked it up and said a few words, his face suddenly gloomy.

"The scene of Daisy and the others beating someone was filmed." He hung up the phone and said to Murphy, "The other party wants to talk to us."
