Hollywood Road

Making a movie is not an easy task, Murphy is very clear that we must be adequately prepared, especially in terms of funding.

Therefore, Murphy appeared in the club agreed with Leon Rose on time the next day. Since the conditions were basically negotiated before, there was not much nonsense between the two sides.

Leon Rose paid Murphy US$100,000 on behalf of Kobe Bryant; Murphy handed over all the information related to the photo and signed a confidentiality agreement.

Such transactions often occur between media reporters and celebrities, and they are not terrific.

Murphy was in a good mood when he got one hundred thousand dollars. When he left, he shook hands with Leon Rose. "Please convey my respect to Mr. Bryant. If I have a chance, I will definitely go to the scene. Watch him play."

Leon Rose replied unceremoniously, "I hope you never have such a chance."

After that, he took the CAA lawyer and walked out of the room without looking back, showing no interest in continuing to deal with Murphy.

Murphy looked at his back, shrugged, and then left. Although Leon Rose was so angry, he didn't take it seriously. Yesterday, he specifically asked Carla Feith to find someone to understand. The basketball department is in CAA is relatively unimportant. The most important thing for CAA in the field of sports agency is American football.

It is not surprising that American football is the largest sport in North America, and its influence far exceeds that of the NBA and other leagues. However, CAA's current main business is still in the North American market.

However, Murphy will not ignore the huge influence of CAA. Now he is just a small person. In the eyes of CAA giants, he is no different from the paparazzi that can be seen everywhere in the streets of Los Angeles. No one will care too much if he can enter. Hollywood, and has a certain reputation, the impact of this event will really appear.

But Murphy does not regret doing this at all. If he wants to accumulate the original capital for development as quickly as possible, how can he do it without some unconventional means?

At least he did not violate the law.

"Since coming to the world, every pore of Capital has been dirty and bloody."

With this idea, Murphy left the club, drove to Channel Six, and continued to participate in the production of the documentary. Similar to the previous situation, he was more like a student during the production process, greedily absorbing everything. Post-production technology and experience.

This is the Los Angeles area where Hollywood is located, and the most advanced film technology in the world. Even if the documentaries are basically from an unobtrusive TV station like Channel 6, the rigor and philosophy of post-production make Murphy a rookie amazed.

Indeed, he has a lot more knowledge than ordinary people, and he has also studied the latest film technology and knowledge at the film school on the other side, but learning and practice are two different fields, and learning well may not be able to do well.

Murphy settled down and left other thoughts in the Pacific for the time being. For a while, he stayed in the post-production room of Channel 6 and stayed beside Griffiths and other experienced people, and kept asking for various advices. Kind of problem.

The production of this documentary is not difficult. Murphy knows very well that the problems he encountered when shooting the film will definitely be much more than now.

The documentary is just a lot of video clips originally filmed together. It does not take a long time. Moreover, the black movement in the Los Angeles area cannot continue forever. It must be launched quickly before the documentary can bring a certain impact.

Half a month later, the hype in the Los Angeles area about white police shooting and killing black criminals who could not resist and black protests gradually subsided. The Los Angeles County Police Department and City Hall just quieted down. Channel 6 broadcasted this during prime time. Documentary-"Sin City"!

From the title, it’s not difficult to find out what the theme of the documentary is. This 55-minute documentary is a collection of criminal activities in the Los Angeles area. Car accidents, homicides, drug dealings, and armed robberies emerge in endlessly, reflecting the fact that criminal activities in Los Angeles have long been It is not limited to one place, but spread to every corner. It also deliberately uses obscure methods to point out the contradictions between minorities and whites caused by social injustice.

Among them, Murphy’s shooting of the Bill Road case and the Beverly Hills police and robber shootout was the climax of the entire documentary. Although the picture was not particularly clear due to the relationship between the photographic equipment used at that time, this part of the real **** shootout was almost completely broadcast. Still triggered a huge response.

In particular, the last black criminal was shot to death by a white policeman without any ability to resist. It was shockingly indescribable.

The news broadcast video, because there are too many scruples, many sensitive or **** scenes are coded, but the scale of the documentary is larger...

There is no doubt that this documentary has attracted widespread attention, and Channel Six has also become the most popular local TV station in the Los Angeles area.

The black movement that has just quelled, because of the relationship between the theme of the documentary and the complete broadcast of Murphy’s video, broke out again. In front of the H County Police Station of Los Angeles City Hall, a large number of protesters once again gathered and provided the media. More reported material.

Channel Six is ​​also cooperating with a video tape distributor to prepare discs and videotapes for this documentary.

Although he made extensive use of Murphy’s videos and paid a certain amount of copyright fees for Channel Six, Murphy’s benefits were not many, but he was also satisfied. After all, he participated in the production of the entire documentary and learned from it. Many have accumulated a certain amount of experience.

More importantly, he has gotten closer to Griffith. If you encounter editing problems in the future, you can also ask him for advice.

Although the other party is only one of the many unknown editors in the Los Angeles area, he is much better than him, a novice with almost no practical experience.

"Congratulations……"

In an Italian restaurant, Murphy sat on a seat by the window and raised his glass to Carla Faith opposite, "Congratulations on your promotion."

Carla Faith wore a fitted casual dress with curly blonde hair neatly tied behind her head. She raised her glass and touched Murphy. Before drinking, she smiled and said, "Thank you!"

The two drank in one fell swoop.

Murphy picked up the knife and fork, cutting the steak on the plate, and asked, "How does the news director of Channel 6 feel?"

In the past, Carla Fess was the head of news programs during the night and early morning hours. After being promoted, he was in charge of all news on Channel 6.

Carla Faith pinned the scattered blond hair behind her ears, flattened her mouth, and said with emotion, "It feels good to not have to go to the night shift!"

Fork a small steak and put it in his mouth to chew, Murphy suddenly looked at Carla Faith strangely.

"What's the matter?" Carla Faith thought it was stained with something dirty, so he touched his face, and then went to grab the small makeup mirror in his bag. "What's on my face?"

"No." Murphy shook his head slightly. "I'm just surprised that you don't have makeup today."

The Carla Faith he had seen in the past, although not heavy makeup, always painted delicate professional makeup, today is obviously different, she only has very light makeup on her face.

"It's ugly without makeup?" Carla Faith said mockingly.

"Of course not." Murphy looked at her with admiration, "This way you look more fresh and natural, not as aggressive as when painting professional makeup."

"Really?" Carla Faith picked up his knife and fork. "Don't forget, I am a woman. How can I work if I don't look stronger?"

Gender differences are an existence that can never be ignored in the workplace.

Murphy nodded and laughed, "You can see me in this way, does it mean that we are more than just a work relationship?"

Carla Faith raised an eyebrow. "What do you think we have to do with you."

"I thought we were friends long ago." Murphy said lightly.

"Friend?" Carla Fiss's mouth curled up, looking both playful and mocking, "Is there a friend like you? Every time I bargain, I always force me..."

Murphy opened his hands, "My dear, work is work, and personal relationships are personal relationships."

Unlike Rose, who met in prison, Murphy couldn’t describe the relationship with Carla Faith. The two got acquainted because of their work, and they were close due to similar ideas. In particular, he gave up his job as a freelance journalist and no longer gave the sixth. After the channel provided news videos, it got closer to Carla Faith.

In fact, he also understands that after the final interest entanglement between the two is over, there is no so much scrupulousness to get along with each other.

Frankly speaking, Murphy thinks that there is a sentence on the other side of the Pacific that can describe his friendship with Carla Fiss very appropriately, that is-the smell is similar.

The two of them ate and talked, and the atmosphere was unusually harmonious, especially when it came to the documentary from the Bill Road case to now that the documentary has driven the ratings of Channel 6, and they also laughed happily.

In this kind of private occasion, both Murphy and Kara-Fiss smiled very proudly and unscrupulously. What they thought in their minds was that each other benefited greatly from each other, not other journalistic ethics or society. Responsibility and other vague things.

When the meal gradually came to an end, Carla Faith took a sip of water, wiped his mouth, and suddenly changed the subject, "When will your plan begin!"

"As soon as possible." Murphy put down his napkin, "This documentary has taught me a lot..."

He pointed to his head, "There is already a clear plan here."

Carla Faith asked again, "What about the funds?"

"Excluding the fees paid to lawyers and other aspects." Murphy calculated it, "There are more than 300,000 US dollars."

Having said that, his brows frowned again. This money is really too little for filming and making movies.

"Give you a suggestion." Carla Faith said in a serious tone that he had never done before. "Don't invest all your money in it."
