Chapter 233 Someone is staring at you

As long as a big-selling film is possible, whether it is a production and distribution company or a participating agency, it will promote sequels as much as possible. Not only Hollywood, but also the film industry around the world, because compared to the high risks that must be accompanied by original movies, the possibility of profitability of sequels of successful films is higher, even several times higher.

In the movie "Sin City", Murphy only intercepted three segments of the comic. Frank Miller's comic consists of seven stories, and there are a lot of content for adaptation and shooting.

There is no doubt that all Hollywood film companies are commercial companies that aim to make profits. Now that "Sin City" is selling well, it is normal for Miramax to put the sequel on the agenda.

But Bill Rossis asked Murphy to refuse, but was a little surprised. After all, he had no special experience.

Of course, Murphy would not think that Bill Roses was foresighted, nor would he think that his vision was so outstanding.

"The time is very inappropriate!" Bill Roses quickly gave his own explanation. "As far as I know, the conflict between Miramax's management and group company Walt Disney is becoming increasingly acute, especially between the Weinstein brothers and Disney chairman Michael Eisner. The conflict has become so sharp that it cannot be reconciled. The Weinstein brothers want to bring Miramax, who was created by one, to leave Walt Disney, but Michael Eisner will never let them go easily. This battle has actually affected the overseas release of "Sin City"..."

Murphy nodded slightly. He had also heard of the problem between the Weinstein brothers and Michael Eisner, but he did not expect it to have developed to this point.

"The conflict between the Weinstein brothers and Michael Eisner may be at any time," Bill Rosess continued, "and thus drag down Miramax's normal operation. If there is a problem with the distribution company, the film will be seriously affected."

The ability of a distribution company to achieve success is obvious.

Murphy thought for a while and said, "You find a suitable reason to turn off the sequel's collaboration."

He had a rough impression that the Weinstein brothers did not lead Miramax, who was founded, successfully separated from Walt Disney. In the end, the two brothers had to sell their shares in Miramax and re-found the Weinstein Pictures.

No one can say whether they stayed in Miramax's project. Whether latecomers will pay attention to it.

Murphy finally worked hard to get into the situation, and this unnecessary risk would not be mixed randomly.

After talking about Miramax again, Murphy turned to ask, "Have you got the ticket to the Miss Universe Competition?"

The Miss Universe Competition in Malibu is about to be held. Although Murphy doesn't care whether Gal Gadot can get a good ranking, Gal Gadot himself doesn't care, it's still necessary to cheer on the spot.

"Grace has already been booked." Bill Roses said, and suddenly suggested, "Murphy, Gale's appearance is very outstanding, you can advise her to stay in Hollywood to develop."

This is undoubtedly the most beneficial to Murphy, which is much better than her returning to Israel to study in college.

Murphy shook his head, "Let Gale make the decision himself."

Of course, he wanted Gal Gadot to stay in Los Angeles and would also make some advice on this. Even if he was studying, there were many suitable schools in Los Angeles, but he would not make decisions for her.

All the things to be said were finished, Bill Roses was about to say goodbye, and Murphy thought of another thing and asked, "I heard that Warner Brothers just changed EO?"

"I changed a few weeks ago, I probably entered the Twentieth Century Fox with Cara Fais." Bill Roses asked immediately, "Why are you suddenly interested in Warner Bros?"

Murphy has never worked with companies affiliated with Warner Bros. and Warner Bros.

"Not interested," Murphy did not answer directly, "help me collect some information about Warner Bros. and DC comics."

Although he didn't know Murphy's intention, Bill Roses nodded and agreed. The agent was originally serving their clients, even the agent of AA was no exception.

Just as he saw Bill Rossis away, Murphy suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, this is Murphy Stanton."

"It's me, Murphy." The slightly husky voice sounded very familiar, "Do you have time? Let's meet."

The other party did not say who he was, but Murphy could hear that this was Rose's voice.

Since he released Ross from the police station that time, the relationship between the two sides has been significantly distant. The two have taken completely different paths and will only go further and further along the different forks.

Moreover, Ross obviously cut off his intention to whitewash funds by investing in his videos and took the initiative to cut off contact.

"Where?" Murphy said without considering it, "I'll go see you."

“Downtown, where we last drank beer together.”

After hanging up the phone, Murphy specially called a taxi and took a taxi to the city center. After moving out there, he had never been back.

What will happen to Rose when he comes to him? This is the one that Murphy thinks the most about on the way.

He did not think that Ross would be detrimental to him. Although he refused his request for money laundering, Ross had no substantive things apart from saying that he had not done anything substantial. After being released from bail from the police station, Ross took the initiative to cut off contact with him.

Others may think that Ross has completely cut off his relationship with him, but Murphy would not think so. There is indeed no such thing as the four major irons here, but sometimes the friendship that fights side by side in prison is still very reliable.

Murphy speculated that after seeing him becoming more and more successful in Hollywood, Ross knew that he might become his own trouble, so he took the initiative to stay away from it...

Unfortunately, it was too difficult for Ross to whitewash, and it was not something he could just whitewash. After all, Murphy's predecessor grew up in a chaotic slum. He knew that the previous and next homes were problems that Ross could not solve.

And to achieve the point where Rose controls most of the market in the city center, if there is no one in the police to help him, Murphy will definitely not believe it, and these people will not allow Rose to whitewash.

Murphy will not overestimate the quality of the American police. It is more than just a simple thing to say.

Shaking his head, Murphy stopped thinking about these things. With his current ability, he could not solve these problems. If he rashly intervened, it would probably only cause trouble.

The taxi is still far from downtown Los Angeles, and Murphy's thoughts turn to Marvel Comics and DC Comics. For him, both companies contain treasures. How can you get a piece of cake?

It is obviously not feasible to get the copyright of the movies of Marvel comics, and with his ability and wealth, it is even more of an ant to swallow an elephant.

What about DC Comics? The appeal of the three Big Justice giants is far stronger than that of Marvel's Avengers in the United States.

It is not easy to impress D comics and Warner Bros. For Murphy himself, Superman is a pit. His almost perfect setting is destined to not end easily if any director enters. Mr. Bruce Wayne is not much better. Warner Bros has refrigerated this series. If they want to restart, they need more than just saliva.

As for Princess Diana Prinz, in the feminist movement, when it is far inferior to the future, shooting a superhero movie with completely women as the protagonist, especially a superhero movie like Wonder Woman, which is known as the representative of feminist rights, is simply seeking death.

Thinking of these messy questions, Murphy got off the car near the Old Chinatown, walked towards an alley, turned a corner, came to a slightly rich bar, looked at the sign on it, pushed the door and walked in.

"Mr. Stanton,"

As soon as he entered the door, a shiny black man with a bald head came over, "The boss is waiting for you inside."

Murphy still had an impression of him, nodded and entered the bar, and found Rose who was drinking alone in front of the long bar.

Pulling over a high chair, Murphy sat down and said to the bartender, "A glass of dark beer."

Hearing this familiar voice, Ross turned his head and looked at him, "Come here?"

The bartender pushed the cup full of dark beer over, Murphy picked up the glass and signaled Ross. Ross's hand with tattoos picked up the glass in front of him and touched him.

The two of them took a sip. After Murphy put down the cup, he found that there was a scar on Ross' face, but he didn't ask much. Whether for him or Ross, there were some things he knew, the less he knew, the better.

"There's something you need to pay attention to." Ross didn't say anything nonsense, and directly told him the purpose of finding him, "Someone is investigating you."

"Who?" Murphy asked for a moment, "Paparazzi? reporter? or police?"

"None are." Ross shook his head and said, "A few days ago, my subordinates got news that someone went to the community where you used to live. He then had contacted Vietnamese in Old Chinatown, as if he was checking whether you had a close connection with drug dealers in the city."

He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "I have asked someone to check that person, he is a private detective."

Murphy frowned slightly. What did the private detective do? If it was a media reporter, he was not surprised. Even if the Los Angeles police were still staring at him, it would be normal. What did the private detective do?

"Someone is staring at you," Ross drank all the wine in his glass, took out a hundred dollars and threw it on the counter, and stood up, "Please pay more attention."

Murphy nodded, "Thank you."

Ross shook his head again, "You're starting to see you."

With his hand out, Murphy gently patted his arm, "Then I won't say thank you."

Ross smiled, said nothing, and walked out of the bar.
