"Hello, Director Stanton."

As soon as Murphy got out of the car, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie came over and stretched out his right hand to him, "I'm glad to see you again."

"Hmm..." Murphy nodded to him first, then grabbed his hand, "Hello, Belby."

This middle-aged man named Belby is a real estate agent introduced by Grace. He specializes in providing services to wealthy people and celebrities in the Los Angeles area. The real estate sales company behind him also holds a considerable number of agency sales rights for luxury houses. He can be said to be the spokesperson for luxury houses in the entire Southern California area.

"Can we start?" Murphy pointed to a huge estate behind Belby.

"Oh..." Belby made a gesture of invitation, "Go here."

He led Murphy along the flat sidewalk of Mount Hober to the gate of the manor.

Murphy stood at the door of the manor and looked inside through the open iron gate. A straight lane opposite the gate was a visible length of at least 200 yards. On both sides of the lane were vestibule gardens, probably to maintain a certain degree of secrecy. There were no flowers in the garden early, but instead were planted with tall trees, blocking the view of the outside world.

Looking in from here, the only thing you can see is the small square at the end of the driveway, and a huge two-story villa building with white as the main color.

Compared to the photos he had seen with Gal Gadot before, the real thing looks more refined and elegant.

"This is the home on sale in Beverly Hills," Belby said in due time, "the most luxurious one."

Real estate agents like them who specialize in serving the wealthy will definitely understand the customers enough to know the other party’s needs and purchasing power.

So, Belby knew very well that the manor was expensive, but the young Hollywood director in front of him had the strength to win.

Murphy nodded slightly. He had seen a lot of property information before. From a group of luxury houses in Santa Monica, West Hollywood and Malibu, he chose this manor called "Flowers of Les" as his primary goal.

Beverly Hills, where this manor is located, is a high-end residential area famous throughout Los Angeles and even the world. Beverly Hills is not just located on Beverly Hills, but a platinum triangle composed of three small hills, Beverly Hills, Belaire and Holbe.

Then, under the leadership of Belby, Murphy walked into this huge luxury estate, and the real estate agent also gave him a detailed introduction.

The "Flower of Les" is located on more than 5 hectares of land. The former owner was named Susan Sapperstein. She and her then-husband, the super-rich rich man from Texas, asked someone to customize the manor in 2002.

The residential area of ​​the manor is composed of several connected small buildings, including a two-story villa building opposite the driveway for the owner to live in. It has twelve bedrooms, fifteen bathrooms, a ballroom, two kitchens and an indoor swimming pool.

The auxiliary building on the right has an indoor tennis court, a large banquet hall that can accommodate 200 people to dine at the same time, and a semi-underground 9-car garage.

Behind the auxiliary building, there is a very special oversized cinema decorated with silk, which can accommodate 50 seats.

Walking through the long driveway in the battery car, Murphy and the real estate agent walked into the second-floor villa building. The magnificent living room has arches decorated with mirrors. The design is inspired by the mirror hall of Versailles, and the ceiling is filled with luxurious chandeliers and cemetery paintings.

The design of this manor is inspired by Louis XVI's Palace of Versailles, and of course it also includes all modern equipment. The Italian marble walls, French limestone floors, and gold-decorated leather wallpaper make the villa more luxurious. There is also an outdoor spa pool, a huge back garden, a helicopter tarmac and a 1,200-meter-long fitness track, all of which are the top-notch equipment.

According to real estate agent Belby, "Flowers of Les" was a gift from David Sapperstein to his wife Susan in 1996 and was completed in 2002. However, the Sapperstein couple ended their marriage in less than two years. After the divorce, Mrs Sapperstein obtained the estate and began to sell it to the public at the beginning of this year.

Murphy also knew something about Susan Sapperstein. In the words of Vanity Fair, Mrs. Sapperstein "may be the world's largest customer of high-order fashion and antique furniture in the 18th century."

After watching it once, although I was quite satisfied, Murphy's face did not reveal anything. "Body of Steel" will soon bring him huge dividends. The funds for winning this manor are not a problem, but they will face competition from some people.

Super residences like this are often ignored when they are unsold, and can attract countless wealthy people when they are popular.

As far as Murphy knows, many Hollywood superstars were playing "Flowers of Les" after the Sapperstein divorced, including many of them, who are on the top three of the Forbes celebrity income list.

Leaving Beverly Hills, Murphy drove west, went to the closest UCLA, and found Gal Gadot for lunch.

“Is the area too large?”

In a Chinese restaurant, Gal Gadot was eating vegetarian Western Chinese food and asked Murphy, "And the price is a bit high."

"Dear," Murphy put down the chopsticks in his hand, "This is our permanent place to live in the future, our future home, how can we be careless?"

When Gal Gadot heard Murphy talk about home, he felt sweet.

Having been on the other side of the Pacific some time ago, Murphy knew that it was impossible for him to return to his past. Now, both career and life are completely fixed in Los Angeles. More importantly, Gal Gadot was influenced by him and joined Stanton Studio. His career was also fixed here, and he did it with relish. He never mentioned the settlement of Tel Aviv, Israel.

The two have a stable relationship and are getting deeper and deeper. He never thought of separation. It was imperative to build a home in Los Angeles.

Indeed, buying a luxury estate like "Liss Flower" is not only a large amount of money to purchase, but also a daily maintenance fee, which is also a considerable expense.

There is also the property tax that America hates so much. There is indeed no such thing as land term, but the expensive property tax is also a headache. Once the property tax cannot be paid and the tax bureau is debt, the trouble is not ordinary...

However, Murphy believes that these are all small problems for him, and now he does not have to consider maintenance costs and property tax issues at all.

"What's next?" Gal Gadot picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. "What are your plans?"

She knew Murphy wouldn't let herself go.

"Last year's holiday was occupied by Warner Bros. and DC Comics, and I want to take a break for two months." Murphy also finished eating. "I saw a recommendation from the New York Times, and Bill had already contacted the adaptation rights."

The New York Times reading supplement is now a must-read newspaper for Murphy. Many novels recommended on it have published a large number of popular movies.

For example, in the "Twilight" series, Murphy had people contacted Stephanie Mayer for a long time, but Hollywood was more than one company interested in. Faced with the competition between Pinnacle Entertainment, Paramount Pictures and Lionsgate, bag companies like Stanton Studios have no competitiveness.

Stephanie Mayer is not stupid either. It is too simple to choose a bag company or a powerful film company.

Hollywood has never been good at originality. Apart from well-known directors, producers and a very small number of projects, originality is rarely favored by Hollywood production companies, while adaptations are different. This can be said to be the mainstream of Hollywood movies.

Actually, let’s take a look at the annual North American box office rankings. How many original movies can be found in the top ten?

An original script or a project of a non-famous director and producer. If you want to make a big investment, a big Hollywood company will tell you: Forget it.

In the past two years, the film strategies of major Hollywood companies have become more and more conservative. Their efforts are definitely not to use new ideas to open up a new world, but to minimize the risk of making mistakes as much as possible and minimize the consequences of mistakes. Therefore, they are more inclined to choose movie projects carefully in their own circle of competence.

Just like in the past, Walt Disney could not stop on the road to live-action classic cartoons, and forced its most innovative Pixar Studio to continue to launch sequels to the General Story series. The same is true for other series crazes. Before the existing resources are proven to be invalid, Hollywood will definitely squeeze it out first!

Not to mention originality, now that adaptation resources are becoming increasingly short, it will not take long for Hollywood to throw away so-called creativity and innovation further and instead focus on projects that were successful more than ten or even decades ago.

So, the sequel movies that were forgotten in the corner appeared, such as "Jurassic World", "Independence Day 2: A Comeback", "Find Nemo 2", etc., as well as classic restarts such as "Prometheus", remakes of films such as "Ben Hur", "The Rich Seven Dragons", and "Super Death Squad", as well as re-interpretations of familiar calls such as "Snow White and the Hunter", "Cinderella", and "Maleficent Curse"...

Everyone knows the risks of remake classic films, but Hollywood would rather spend a lot of money on these remakes than take a look at the original projects of non-famous directors.

Similarly, Stanton Studio has also received scripts from some new screenwriters. After Murphy simply read them, he received dust from the storage room. His money was not blown by the strong wind. Why don’t you invest in projects with relatively small risks and take these big risks?

"It's time for me to go back to school." Gal Gadot looked at his watch and stood up, "Where are you going in the afternoon?"
