"Boom..."

Champagne opened, bubbles spurted out, one by one goblet was filled, and then Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen screamed, "Saturn Award for best horror film! We won the Saturn Award for best Horror movie!"

The howling of their two wolves kept reverberating in the backyard. Fortunately, the residents here are far away, so Murphy doesn't have to worry about affecting the neighbors for the time being.

James Franco sat on a chair by the pool, picked up a glass of champagne, and touched Murphy, who was sitting opposite, "Congratulations!"

Murphy drank it, "Congratulations!"

In any case, he is in a good mood to win this award for the best horror film, which will also help the future.

Two guys, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen, were still howling, not howling, and they wriggled by the pool while drinking.

In the newly renewed courtyard, two nasty-looking men went crazy, a bit like howling at midnight.

"You two!" Murphy reminded them loudly, "The anti-skid on the pool side has not been done, be careful not to fall!"

After all, this is a rented house. After a brief tidying up some time ago, he moved back from the hotel.

After returning from the Los Angeles Music Center, the four of them were in a good mood. They simply ran over here to have a small celebration party. They drank a lot of alcohol before, and Jonah Hill and Seth Logan gradually got over excited. , Came back and sat beside Murphy and James Franco.

The four of them drank a few more glasses, and Jonah Hill suddenly asked, "I heard that your studio is going to add a business promotion department?"

"I can't just dangle in small productions." Murphy put down the goblet and shook his dizzy head. "Mainstream commercial production has a large investment, so I must sponsor advertising, and I also need someone who can pull advertising Department. But it's just a preliminary idea."

"What do you think of me?" Jonah Hill obviously drank too much, and said indistinctly. "I will be the manager of the investment department for you?"

Murphy raised his eyebrows, "Jonah, I didn't hit you, would you sell it?"

Jonah Hill patted the table, "Of course!"

"That's good!" Murphy flipped through his pocket, took out a pen casually, and threw it to Jonah Hill, "You sell it to me."

Taking the pen thrown by Murphy, Jonah Hill thought for a while and said, "This is made by a Parker company..."

Murphy raised his hand and interrupted him, "It's too old-fashioned!"

Jonah Hill scratched his head, picked up the pen and placed it in front of him, not knowing how to continue.

Reaching for the pen, Murphy threw it to James Franco and said, "Jim, sell it to me."

James Franco took the pen, turned it around in his hand, suddenly picked up a napkin on the table and handed it to Murphy, "Are you director Murphy Stanton? I like your movie very much. Can you sign for me?"

Murphy touched his pocket and took the initiative to take the pen that James Franco handed over again. "Did you see it? I need a pen now."

After speaking, he threw the pen on the table casually.

Jonah Hill blinked and probably understood Murphy's meaning.

But Murphy still said directly, "Even Jim is not suitable for this business. You all have talents as actors, and it is more suitable to be directly involved in film production, rather than being a salesperson."

Seth Rogen picked up the champagne and filled it with everyone, "Come on, let's continue to celebrate!"

After another glass of wine, Jonah Hill burped, "Today is a special moment for us, do you guys know?"

Murphy and others shook their heads, and mysteriously took out a small bag from his trouser pocket, "I had expected that "Chain Saw" would be awarded a prize, and I specially prepared some things for celebration!"

"Dangdangdang..." He opened the packet, which contained four white pills. "No one is allowed to grab one, each person only has one!"

James Franco picked up one, placed it in front of him and looked at it carefully, "What is this?"

"******!" Jonah Hill picked up one and was about to throw it into his mouth, but was held by Murphy next to him, "Wait, Jonah, are you going to go crazy here? Dump into the swimming pool and drown?"

"Uh..." Jonah Hill put down the pills again.

"You guys..." Murphy pointed at them, "Don't take drugs casually!"

Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen disagree, and even James Franco doesn't care much.

Although a few people are friends, no one will listen to this kind of advice casually. This is Hollywood where alcohol and drugs are rampant.

Murphy persuaded that when the three guys didn't listen at all, he was too lazy to say anything. He stood up and announced, "The party is over. You can go to other places to take medicine."

"Hey! You guys don't speak loyalty too much, right?" Jonah Hill exclaimed dissatisfiedly, "Just kick us out like this?"

Murphy stood up and walked towards the main building, leaving only the last word of exhortation, "Life is precious, you must be cautious when taking medicine!"

The party ended here. Jonah Hill, Seth Logan and James Franco left here together. Murphy sent them out and said, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t listen to me, but Take drugs and find a suitable place, don’t let me go to the police station tomorrow to pick up people."

"You're so long-winded!" The three waved their hands and left.

Murphy shook his head, closed the door and prepared to go back to rest. He couldn't say anything about this kind of thing. The atmosphere in the whole circle is like this, and *** is just a relatively low-level drug popular in Hollywood.

This medicine is mainly used for insomnia clinically. It can make people addicted after long time. It is banned in most countries and regions in the world.

Murphy doesn’t touch these things himself, but it’s not surprising that this kind of thing has been in Hollywood for so long. In fact, it is not only the stars in front of the scenes, but also many people behind the scenes are also using this medicine, and a considerable number of people will interact with Used together with alcohol, *** can enhance the effect of alcohol, with a kind of delirium ability, as a substitute for causing hallucinations.

Taking a small dose of *** can cause the user to go from a state of depression to an extremely nervous and excited state. Long-term use of *** will form dependence and cause toxicology.

Just getting up the next day, Murphy didn't care about the head discomfort after getting drunk. He first hung up the phone with the three guys. He was relieved when he heard that they are now at James Franco's house. After a brief wash, I went out for breakfast, and drove to the Death Star Building in Century City according to the previous agreement.

"Hello, Director Stanton."

As soon as he walked out of the elevator, a CAA staff member came to meet him. When the other party saw him, he immediately stopped and greeted him enthusiastically. Murphy nodded and passed by him and walked towards Bill Rossis at the end of the corridor. Office.

In the middle, I met two unnamed agents, and they both greeted Murphy enthusiastically, just like treating their most important clients.

Murphy gradually walked away, but the two agents lowered their voices.

"That guy Bill is so far away that he has customers like Murphy Stanton."

"Don't you think that Bill Rossis is average? He can have his current status, because he is Murphy Stanton's agent!"

"Yeah, the first time you operate the company's packaged project, you can get huge profits. I don't see how well Bill Rossis did it, but the film directed by Murphy Stanton has a great selling point! Even if you change it to You and I operate "Planet of Horror", as long as the director is Murphy Stanton, we can also make a profit..."

Murphy walked to Bill Rossis's suite office, and an assistant immediately helped him open the office door.

Bill Rossis, who was sitting behind the desk, got up and walked over, "I thought you would come here later, just sit down."

He told his assistant to make coffee and sat with Murphy on two single sofas separated by a coffee table. "There was no party last night?"

Murphy rubbed his forehead. "It's over before one point. Drinking a lot of alcohol makes it uncomfortable to get up in the morning."

"I heard that you got the best horror film," Bill Rossis said with a smile. "The company executives called me early this morning. If you need any support later, don't hesitate to speak."

Although the North American box office of "Planet of Horror" is far lower than that of "Chain Saw", the revenue has exceeded expectations. It can be regarded as a successful box office work. If a director can succeed in succession, it will naturally be paid more attention to by the agency.

The female assistant brought in two cups of coffee at this time, put one in front of Murphy and Bill Rossis, and then backed out.

"Well, it smells good." Murphy sniffed, "It looks pretty good."

"From a friend in Jamaica." Bill Rossis said to the outside of the office. "Nancy, get Murphy a pack of the new coffee."

He just said politely and casually, Murphy did not refuse, "Thank you."

The two then turned to the topic. Bill Rossis pointed to a box in the corner of the office and said, "This is a letter from a fan in the mail room. There are many crazy admirers in it. Do you want to read it? ?"

Murphy shook his head, "I don't have time, don't you have a department to handle these?"

Bill Rossis understood Murphy's meaning and suggested, "Then I will leave it to Grace directly?"

"You can handle it," Murphy doesn't care about this. After all, he is a director, not a star in front of the scene. "It's best to pick some answers."

"I know how to do it." Bill Rossis nodded.

After talking about these trivial matters, Murphy changed the topic, "How about the things I asked you to check some time ago? How is the copyright distributed?"

"The copyright of the comics is mainly held by the author and the dark horse comics," Bill Rossis frowned. "If you want to impress the dark horse comics, it's okay to bid high enough, but the dark horse comics had an agreement with the original author. If you adapt a movie, you must get the consent of the original author!"

He sighed, "You know, that guy is hard to do."

"Leave it to me for the time being." Murphy thought for a while. "You can check for me where he will show up recently. If it doesn't work, I will visit Manhattan."
