The sun turned to the west, and an extended black car was bathed in the Southern California sun wantonly. It passed through the red-carpet-like Rodeo Drive, passed a fashionable business district, and slowly arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel Beverly Hills. before.

This has become the center of the spotlight.

A reporter from Fox's media immediately moved to the front of the car, with the camera lens in his hand aimed at the car door.

A film with a production cost of only 800,000 U.S. dollars, but can get more than 60 million U.S. dollars in the box office in North America, enough to amaze many media.

There are also some non-Fox entertainment reporters who are also very interested in this crew, especially the young director.

In the last Fox TV program, the other party revealed that he was only in his early twenties. Such an age and a box office of 60 million U.S. dollars can attract too many readers.

As for the other party who has been in jail, it is not too much attention. Those who have been in jail in Hollywood can find dozens of them.

The car in front had just drove away, and the stretch sedan started again and stopped in front of the hotel's red carpet.

At the end of a bunch of people behind the scenes, Paul Wilson glanced back, his eyes full of excitement and disbelief.

He said that he didn't expect anything. In the first year of graduation, he not only participated in the production of the official film, but also became the assistant director of a film with a box office of 60 million dollars in North America!

Such a glorious qualification is enough to make everyone who graduated at the same time drool enviously.

At the beginning, when he was a free intern, many people laughed at him for being foolish and cheated by a liar, but he saw hard work and persistence in the eyes of a man younger than himself, and chose to take a gamble. In the end, it was such a generous return!

"I'm really lucky!"

Looking at the car that was surrounded by reporters again, Paul Wilson sighed inwardly, "I must have been blessed by Goddess of Luck, otherwise how could I meet someone like Murphy Stanton?"

Makeup artist Jack Watson, photographer Philip Raschel, lighting artist David Robbie, art director Helena and others, unconsciously looked back.

Although the focus of all reporters was on the extended sedan that the protagonist and director rode in, they were not dissatisfied, but felt unreal.

I really participated in the production of a 60 million US box office in North America?

In fact, they all understand that from this moment on, regardless of fame or seniority, in their respective professional circles, they will no longer be unknown people.

"Here." Murphy looked at James Franco and Seth Rogen on the opposite side, "Are you ready to become a star?"

Seth Rogen smiled and scratched his head.

James Franco picked up the small mirror and adjusted his bow tie. "I was ready ten years ago."

Murphy nodded to the two men, then looked around.

Kerry Mulligan wore a moon-white short dress, her short shiny blond hair was neatly arranged, and a headband was specially added to it, making the whole person look a little more stable besides innocence and cuteness. .

However, unlike the apparent calmness of James Franco and Seth Logan, Carey Mulligan has a tight face and is obviously a little nervous.

Gently patted her hand, Murphy whispered, "My dear, this is your moment. Isn't this your dream?"

Carey Mulligan turned her head and looked at Murphy. The deep eyes on the opposite side were full of peace. This calmness also infected the people around her. She took two deep breaths in a row. The baby face gradually relaxed. The active Kai in the past Ray Mulligan is back.

Murphy saw her change and waved to the three people, "Get out of the car, this is your moment."

The door was pushed open by Seth Logan from inside. He and James Franco got out of the car first. In Murphy's encouraging eyes, Kerry Mulligan also walked down facing the shining spotlight.

The appearance of these three leading actors instantly attracted the attention of media reporters, especially James Franco and Carey Mulligan, the former is handsome and handsome, laughs stubbornly, and has an unspeakable temperament; the latter is youthful and beautiful. A unique baby face is innocent and cute, and it is full of spirituality.

Even Seth Rogen, the obscure fat man, is still concerned.

In contrast, Murphy, who finally got off the car, did not attract much attention. After all, the director behind the scenes is different from the starring protagonist.

The flashing lights are constantly on. Although there are not many reporters here compared to those popular mainstream commercial films, they are the first to experience this kind of battle. After the initial tension has passed, even if they are as calm as Murphy, their faces There is excitement all over.

"Mr. Franco, do you think this film will change your previously unknown career as an actor?"

"Seth! Seth! Your first Hollywood movie was such a success, any thoughts?"

"Miss Mulligan, from "Fruit Candies" to "Saw Cry", your performances are excellent. Can you know how your acting skills are refined?"

"Director Stanton, it is said that you are less than twenty-five years old. Is this true?"

Questions were thrown over by the reporter. The four people only answered a few politely. Under the support of the staff, they walked along the red carpet to the front entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel.

The reporter was automatically divided into two parts, walked with them on both sides of the red carpet, and kept recording their every move with the camera!

Is this what it's like to be famous?

Carey Mulligan's eyes kept traversing both sides. After relaxing, she showed the most beautiful smile she had practiced countless times. The reporters were also willing to take pictures of her, as if she was the center of the world.

It feels so good! Kerry Mulligan was intoxicated.

Yes, she wants to be an actress! She wants to be a star actor! She wants to be the top female star in Hollywood!

Kerry Mulligan strengthened his original idea.

Like all big-selling movies, this is both a celebration party and a promotional event. Although the North American box office of "Chain Saw" will not increase significantly, there will be overseas screenings and North American TV broadcasts. DVD and video tape sales...

When they walked to the hotel, several reporters from Fox TV stopped them. According to the plan, the four of Murphy would accept some routine interviews.

Bill Rossis also appeared here.

He nodded to Murphy and took the initiative to walk to Carey Mulligan. Since there is no professional public relations staff, these tasks can only be done by his agent for the time being.

Compared to the more mature Murphy, Bill Rossis is worried that Kerry Mulligan will accidentally say things that shouldn't be said.

The interview is very simple. The answers to the questions are all prepared before. Like the Hollywood production line, they are very formulaic. They simply answered a few questions. James Franco, Seth Logan and Carey Mulligan took the lead. Entering the hotel, Murphy, accompanied by Bill Rossis, walked at the end.

When he walked into the hotel and accompanied Murphy to the open-air banquet hall on the top floor, Bill Rossis said, "This is specially arranged by the Fox Searchlight. They think you are fully qualified to enjoy this treatment."

The two turned out of the elevator, Murphy turned to look at Bill Rossis, "It seems that my position in the eyes of Fox Searchlight has risen a lot."

"Yes, and it's a very high one." Bill Rossis looked into Murphy's eyes with undisguised excitement, "Let's put it this way, you are no longer the little director who was previously unknown. You have attracted the attention of many companies in Hollywood."

He had thought that Murphy would succeed and "Saw Fright" might be a big hit, but he didn't think of such a terrifying result.

That's 60 million dollars! How many directors in Hollywood can get 60 million US dollars in the box office?

Not to mention the Fox searchlight, even his brokerage company CAA specially asked for Murphy's information from him half a month ago, intending to build a complete archive for him.

Bill Rossis' expression couldn't help but darken. The success of "Chain Saw" was completely beyond everyone's expectations. CAA's attention was taken for granted. For his agent, it may not be a good thing, because it is very likely to cause The attention of other brokers within the company, and then asked to share the management rights of the broker...

Although it hasn't happened yet, it has already troubled Bill Rossis.

Murphy's progress is so fast, his agent is almost unable to keep up with his pace.

Near the entrance of the open-air banquet hall, Bill Rossis deliberately slowed down, followed Murphy, and looked at the strong back of this young director. He knew that this was the best opportunity he had since engaged in entertainment management, and wanted to grasp it. To live in such an opportunity, we must also work hard.

If a broker cannot grow up to keep up with its clients, he is destined to be eliminated, and he does not want to become an obsolete product.

As soon as he walked to the door of the open-air banquet hall, Murphy saw someone greet him. It was Godin Clyde, the distribution director of Fox Searchlight.

There was still some distance away, Godin Clyde put on the warmest smile, and proactively stretched out his right hand, "Murphy, you are finally here!"

Murphy smiled and shook his hand firmly, and Godin Clyde made a please gesture, "Everyone is waiting for you."

Contrary to what happened to the media outside the hotel, in the eyes of these film company executives, his director is the protagonist tonight!

These are all insiders who understand the importance of a good director to the film industry, and know more about the benefits that a good director may bring.

The production cost of 800,000 US dollars and the North American box office of more than 60 million US dollars are enough to change a lot.

After all, Hollywood has not broken away from the scope of business circles after all.

Murphy walked into the open-air banquet hall, and applause suddenly sounded like a storm. Everyone on the scene was watching him and applauding him.

He is the well-deserved protagonist here!
