Chapter 174 You are my God
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
After the screening, most of the participants did not leave. Under the leadership of Miramax staff, they left Lumiere Hall and came to the grand banquet hall of a nearby hotel. The Weinstein brothers prepared a hospitality party here, which was also an important part of the premiere. The theater screening was just the beginning, and the subsequent negotiations were the key.
In addition to a few major markets, in most overseas regions, Miramax also mainly sells out overseas screening rights.
"Hi Murphy,"
Shortly after the party started, many people came to director Murphy, especially Mike Gervin from Australia, who seemed quite enthusiastic. "The wonderful video is really amazing."
Murphy raised his glass and signaled to him, "Thank you."
"This idea is simply amazing!" Mike Gervin seemed to be immersed in the film. "It is completely unexpected that it can kill zombies with these tricks. This is definitely the best zombie film in ten years!"
It seemed that someone greeted him later, and the guy said sorry, "I'll leave first."
"You can do whatever you want." Murphy nodded.
This guy from Australia can be said to be a microcosm of international film dealers. Most of them greet Murphy with great enthusiasm.
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Ruan Jingtian from Vietnam basically doesn't care much about Murphy and is not very interested in the screening rights of the film "Horror Planet".
Such a video is destined to like it very much, and those who don’t like it will be very disgusted.
"Did you see that person?"
In a corner of the banquet hall, Monica Bellucci placed the wine glass on the table in front of him, leaned against the back of the chair, stretched out a finger, pointed to Murphy, and said to her husband Vincent Casso, "He is the director of this film."
"He?" Vincent Carson seemed to be unbelievable, "Are you mistaken? You're too young?"
"It's him."
Speaking of which, Monica Bellucci was incredible, "Do you know? I met him in Hollywood more than a year ago."
Vincent Casso frowned slightly, "Is he special?"
"No, not special at all." Monica Bellucci retracted his finger, "It's just surprising!"
She blinked and looked at the young director who was surrounded by several people in the center, "At that time, he was just... well, what should I say..."
After memories of this period, Monica Bellucci gradually remembered the specific experience in Warner Studios. "At that time, he was not even a small person. My assistant could scold him at will, and look at it now..."
Turning his head and looking over there, Vincent Carson could recognize that the person was surrounded by French director Jean-Pierre Songne and Chinese movie star Mitchell Young. Seeing that they were talking and laughing, they were not facing a small person at all.
A film directed by a small character cannot allow Miramax Pictures to hold premieres and entertainment parties of this scale so much.
Monica Bellucci sighed softly. It was really not easy for this young director to climb from the bottom of Hollywood to his current position in just over a year.
Especially compared to herself, I feel more emotion in my heart.
She went to North America several times to develop, wanting to truly enter Hollywood, and also starred in influential films such as "The Matrix 2". What's the result? Americans still don't like her, and few American film companies are willing to use her. Not to mention the heroine, she can't get even a supporting actress with a small weight. Until now, she is in the world's largest film market, and even a second-rate Hollywood star is not as good as a second-rate Hollywood star.
It took nearly ten years to go, and she had no breakthrough in her career in North America, but what about the other party? In just over a year, not only did she turn a big turn once, but she also became a celebrity in the eyes of heavyweight film companies like Miramax.
As a last resort, she had to return to Europe. Although she has a wide popularity in Europe, if she can star in a big-selling film that is rampant all over the world, who would be willing to take off her clothes and show off her charm in some films with limited popularity?
Looking at Murphy Stanton over there, Monica Bellucci only felt that this world was really unfair. The other party was God's favorite, and she was God's abandoned child.
Walking in the banquet hall, people kept greeting him enthusiastically, Robert Downey Jr. regained his feelings back then. At that time, he was full of energy, rising slowly like the morning sun, and was about to radiate thousands of light...
But all this eventually turned into illusion, and he, the Hollywood star of hope, also became a prisoner in prison.
"Donny, is that really you? You're so cool!"
"Your movements are so cool. The Donnie I know is back!"
"Good done, Robert, your performance is amazing!"
Hearing these compliments around him, Robert Downey Jr. was a little intoxicated and took it for granted. He performed very well, right? Such praise should be obtained!
The people around him gradually dispersed. Robert Downey Jr. picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of champagne. He felt that he had to treat himself, turned to look at the crowd, intending to find a suitable target.
But what came into his eyes was not a beautiful woman, but two fat men. Behind the fat man was a thin man, Jonah Hill, Seth Logan and James Franco.
These are the friends he met through Murphy after he was released from prison.
"Hey, Donnie."
The one who spoke was Jonahill, the one who talked the most among the three, "Don't you go have a drink with Murphy?"
"Do you have a drink with Murphy?" Robert Downey Jr. didn't quite understand what he meant, "Why do you have a drink with him? We have many opportunities to drink together."
Seth Logan came over and put a hand on Robert Downey Jr.'s shoulder, "because the film just ended."
James Franko stood in front of Robert Downey Jr., "Don't you plan to go there now?"
Robert Downey Jr. suddenly realized that he should indeed toast the guy Murphy, "Let's go, let's go now."
The Weinstein brothers stood in the middle of the banquet hall and socialized with international film dealers from all over the world. Murphy also met many people in the industry under the introduction of Erica Steinberg and Bill Roses.
“What these people represent…”
Standing at a dining table, Bill Roses looked at the people around Weinstein, "It's a vast network of movie distribution."
Murphy nodded, looking at the Weinstein brothers who were almost smiling and stiff in the crowd, and said with emotion, "Social engagements are not only a technical job, but also a physical labor."
Bill Roses laughed.
A series of footsteps sounded. As soon as Murphy turned his head, a black shadow walked over quickly. The other party stretched out his arms and rushed directly towards him.
Murphy could tell that this was Robert Downey Jr., and he didn't understand what he wanted to do, so he let the other party rush over and hug him.
Robert Downey Jr. patted Murphy on the back, "Now you are my God!"
As he said that, he hugged Murphy again.
"Your God is about to be breathless!" Murphy saw someone across from him looking at this side strangely, pushed Robert Downey away gently, and asked in confusion, "What do you want to do?"
"Nothing! Just do something I like to do." Robert Downey Jr. was not at all right, and his hands were exaggerated in gestures, and his mouth was speaking faster than his speed. "I want to hug you now, you won't disagree, Murphy? It's too cruel to do that, especially for a believer like me who belongs to you, you can't treat me so cruelly..."
"Stop! Stop!" Murphy raised his hand to interrupt. He believed that if he didn't stop, Robert Downey Jr. could talk for the whole night, "Downey, can you say something?"
"Hey! You guys!" Robert Downey Jr. snapped his fingers at the back. Seth Logan and Jonah Hill took a few glasses. After Murphy and the others came, James Franko opened another bottle of champagne and poured wine for several people one by one. Robert Downey Jr. flicked the glass of wine. The laughter on his face had long disappeared, and was replaced by seriousness and seriousness. "This is for you!"
After saying that, he clinked the glasses with Murphy. James Franco and the other two came over to clink the glasses one by one, and then raised their heads and drank all the wine in the glasses.
Just after Murphy finished drinking, Robert Downey Jr. put the cup on the dining table next to him and came over to hug him.
"This time I'm not a joke, you're my savior,"
Perhaps influenced by Murphy and others, Robert Downey Jr. is now gradually returning to the right track and can understand many things, "To me, you are the angel sent by God!"
He let go of Murphy, took a step back, and looked at this side, "Murphy, in prison, you saved my dignity; in Hollywood, you gave me a rebirth! I know, you don't like others to thank you. I know, in your eyes, it is natural to help friends. But I want to say thank you!"
Murphy shook his head and smiled, "Donny, it makes people feel strange to be serious."
"Is that true?" Robert Downey Jr.'s serious face disappeared immediately, and he changed into unruly and freely. "How can I thank you if I want me? Why don't you do this? I'll call a party to find you 20 models? Young, beautiful, big breasts, long legs..."
"Our video has just finished its premiere." Murphy didn't answer his words at all. "I don't know if the box office will be successful."
"No matter what the box office is, you have given me a chance to rise again." Robert Downey Jr. took the champagne from James Franko. "This is something that Robert Downey Old can't do. Today I must have a good time with you!"
