The sun set to the west, and through the gaps between the two buildings, a few rays of light shone on Murphy. He stood in front of the black Ford sedan, and the light reflected from the window glass seemed to form a strange halo on him, which looked a little dazzling and unreal.

Just like Murphy in the eyes of Tony Gusman on the opposite side.

Both he and Fox Searchlight are optimistic about the market potential of "Saw" and have also come up with the expectation of $10,000 in the first weekend's preview studio. As long as this expectation can be met, subsequent expansion of the screening is inevitable. With appropriate promotion, the final North American box office is very likely to exceed the 10 million dollar mark.

However, the final result was much beyond their expectations and it actually increased by nearly twice.

Thirty theaters previews, with a single-stage box office of $17,000 on weekends, which can only be said to be amazing! Where have a small-scale horror film that has produced such results in recent years?

Tony Guzman now knows that he and the Fox searchlight behind him underestimated the new director and his video!

Those who achieved the results should be respected, so when the other party was about to leave the Fox searchlight, Tony Gusman sent him out.

This has never been before!

"Murphy, don't forget our publicity plan." Tony Guzman finished his advice and said with a smile, "If you have time, have coffee together."

"You can call me anytime." Murphy opened the car door.

He had just gotten into the car, and Tony Gusman actually came over and closed the door of the Ford sedan...

Murphy looked at him through the window glass, nodded slightly, then started the car, drove onto the road ahead, and drove for a distance. He looked at the rearview mirror. Tony Gusman was still standing there, still looking at him and his car.

"This is Hollywood." Murphy whispered.

Tony Guzman is simply the best portrayal of Fox's searchlight attitude.

Today, Murphy spent a whole day at Fox Searchlight. What he felt the most was like Tony Guzman, which was changed in the attitude of Fox Searchlight. Now the film has been expanded to show, and Fox Searchlight has been added to the promotional expenses. The film was screened at hundreds of theaters in North America at the same time, and subsequent copies are also being printed and shipped. It is inevitable that the scale of the screening will continue to expand.

More than a thousand copies are distributed in hundreds of theaters, but it is not actually a lot.

However, before Murphy came out, Fox Searchlight had just received the news that as of 4 pm this afternoon, "Saw" received about $1.5 million on 1,030 screens in 650 theaters in North America.

On Mondays on weekdays, the box office of a single screen can exceed $1,000, which is already very gratifying.

Everything is showing, Saw is moving forward steadily.

Because he was going to pick up Carrie Mulligan, Murphy drove into the Santa Monica Valley area. He was a little late. When he arrived, Carrie Mulligan was already waiting under a large palm tree near the Wrought Iron Gate.

Beside her, Murphy also saw another familiar figure.

Ford slowly stopped near the palm tree. As soon as Murphy pushed the door and got out of the car, Carrie Mulligan rushed over, kissed him in the face, then took his arm, looked under the palm tree, and said, "Dear, see who I met today."

Seeing the rare long red hair, Murphy had already recognized Jessica Chastain, stepped forward, and said with a smile, "Hi, Jessie."

"Hi, Murphy." Jessica Chastain also smiled and said hello.

Carey Mulligan leaned into Murphy's ear and whispered, "She's now joining the performance class."

Instead of asking these things, Murphy said, "Where are you going? If you go along the way, I'll send you there?"

After looking at Murphy, then looking at Jessica Chastain. Carey Mulligan's eyebrows suddenly frowned, but he didn't say anything. She believed that Murphy was just a polite invitation.

"It's so troublesome." Jessica Chastan shook his head and declined, "I've called a taxi."

"Yes." Carey Mulligan quickly spoke, "Jesse called a taxi just now, probably coming soon."

Murphy nodded, and did not insist, "Goodbye, Jesse."

"Goodbye, Murphy."

Watching Carrie Mulligan walk to the side of the car with Murphy in his arms, Jessica Chastain bit his lower lip hard. Is this guy who was embarrassed before and can only stay in the slums, about to become famous?

The black Ford sedan left, and she couldn't tell what she felt. A gangster, one had no higher education, one had no professional learning experience, and one was just exploring by herself, was he about to succeed?

And what about myself? A top student from the Juilliard Arts School, who has achieved everything and has to learn performances with a silly girl like Carey Mulligan...

This world is really unfair. Why is there no one willing to appreciate talented people like her?

Thinking of this, Jessica Chastain suddenly laughed. It was a self-deprecating laugh. Isn’t this the world? She has been in Hollywood for a few months before, and how many talented geniuses with great brilliance have she seen?

"Are opportunities really more important than talent?" she thought of a sentence Murphy said.

But how to find opportunities? Jessica Chastain looked at the place where Ford's car disappeared, and a stream of admiration that she had never seen before came to her heart. It was something she had ignored in the past.

Murphy Stanton's starting point was much lower than her. He didn't have a chance at the beginning, but he didn't wait or complain about the injustice of the world, nor did he blame others, but he created opportunities for himself!

She has worked as his assistant, learned about his past, and knew how hard he had worked for today!

How long has it been since he became a gangster in a slum, relying on some insignificant tricks to complete his first movie, and now he has become a director who can be mentioned in magazines like "Premiere"?

Jessica Chastain remembered comments about Saw and Murphy Stanton in the "Premiere" magazine I watched today.

"From the film "Saw", Murphy Stanton, who is also a screenwriter and director, is not like a newcomer at all. His skillful skills, meticulous thoughts and rich imagination are amazing. In addition to carefully layout the plot and being thoughtful, he also hides the exposure of human nature and the question of the philosophy of life behind the bloody blood."

"Although this film does not have big-name actors and dazzling special effects, it has got rid of the same vulgar routine and opened fire to the audience visually, intellectually and emotionally. Murphy Stanton has pushed horror film art to a new realm!"

When did the high comments from "Premiere" magazine be given to a new director?

Retracting her eyes from looking away, Jessica Chastain lowered her head. Only she knew the annoyance in her heart. She regretted leaving Stanton Studio very, very stupid. This decision at the time was simply stupid!

"You are stupid like a pig!" She pulled off the corner of her clothes with force.

If she had a chance to start over, she would not leave Stanton Studio, and she would have a prominent qualification and would not have been struggling like she is now.

Is it useful to regret now?

"It's already $1.5 million today?"

Back at Stanton Studio, Carey Mulligan pulled a chair and sat down, counting on his fingers, "Last weekend was $510,000, plus today's, "Saw" has a box office of more than $2 million in North America!"

Two employees in the studio left after work. Murphy walked to the water dispenser, poured two glasses of water, went over to give Carrey Mulligan a glass, picked up another glass and took a sip, and said, "Dear, it's only $2 million."

Carey Mulligan also took a sip of water, approached Murphy, opened his eyes wide, and deliberately changed into an exaggerated tone, "This sets your box office record!"

That's true, Murphy shrugged and said self-deprecatingly, "A new record will be born every day from now on."

On tiptoe and kissed Murphy, Carrey Mulligan circled around him, "You can change your name to Mr. Record."

The teasing in this sentence naturally sounded like Murphy. He raised his finger and made a gesture to burst out. Carrie Mulligan quickly covered his forehead and took a step back, pointed at him, and said aggrievedly, "Hey, I'm your girlfriend!"

Murphy retracted his hand, pulled over a chair, sat down at the desk next to him, hooked his finger at Carrie Mulligan, "Get the briefcase over."

Despite pouting in grievance, Carey Mulligan walked over to the clothes hanger and took Murphy's briefcase hanging on it. When he handed it over to Murphy, he muttered, "Is there any work to deal with?"

"Well," Murphy nodded, opened his briefcase and took out a plan. "Fox Searchlight may arrange an exclusive interview for the crew, but it will have to wait until the film's box office is really strong."

Using the current box office numbers, looking for media interviews is simply thankless.

Upon hearing the interview, Carey Mulligan's eyes immediately lit up, and he came over and asked in a hurry, "Is there me? Can I participate?"

Murphy nodded, turned his chair and said to her, "I have communicated with Fox searchlights, and you will be there."

"Wow, I know." Carrey Mulligan opened his arms and threw himself on Murphy. "You are always the best!"

After pinching the small nose in front of him, Murphy was about to kiss her forehead when he suddenly realized that Carrie Mulligan was like a boneless person, sliding down his body, and the innocent and cute baby face gradually fell on his lower abdomen.
