Some people may be frightened by the name of Caa, but with Murphy's personality, things have come to this point and will never take the initiative to retreat.

He looked at Leon Ross opposite and said slowly, "Caa is indeed powerful, but can control the media? Do you really think you are Viacom or News Corp?"

Murphy shrugged and said, "Even Rupert Murdoch and Somermo Redstone, they dare not say that they can control all the media."

Caa does have a certain influence on many media, but it is a joke to say that it can control the media.

News like Kobe Bryant is definitely not something that can be suppressed by Caa. One of the things the media likes to do the most is to create a star and then destroy another star, so that it can be news-oriented and attractive.

If he sells the photos to the media, those media can notify them before publishing them, which will be very favorable.

Although he underestimated the other party because of his age and inconspicuous identity, Leon Ross did not pay enough attention to it, thinking that most people would leave some face when throwing out the mountain of Caa.

But the young man opposite is obviously not that easy to fool, nor will he be confused by those unrealistic things.

This person doesn't eat the hard and hard, and Leon Rose doesn't have a good idea. In fact, at this point, he is completely in a passive situation when the other party holds Kobe Bryant's photo.

Unless he wants those photos to be exposed.

But the consequences of those photos will be quite serious, and many of the things that people named Murphy said will probably evolve into facts.

Even if only one of them happened, he would have to pay a very heavy price.

"Young man!" Leon Ross looked at Murphy, "Don't be too greedy, caa is not that easy to mess with."

Murphy turned his head slightly, facing the other person's gaze, and said, "I never wanted to provoke caa."

Just a fool wants to provoke caa, but he just has a bad luck.

Leon Rose was about to breathe a sigh of relief, and Murphy said immediately, "I have hurt people, been in jail, and are engaged in the lowest-level work, and can only work for the most basic livelihood. But I have no relatives, no property, and no worries..."

"No worries..." Leon Ross silently repeated this sentence. As far as he knew, the other party really had nothing to worry about.

To put it bluntly, the opposite side is just a poor scoundrel who came out of the slum in Los Angeles.

What is the best way to deal with such a person? After a few rounds, Leon Ross completely understood the key to the problem.

"Say it," he asked very directly, "say a reasonable number."

With his hands crossed on the coffee table, Murphy said calmly, "I am a Kobe Bryant fan and willing to do anything for him. He is a great star and a city hero in Los Angeles..."

Since sitting down, Murphy has never said anything related to money, and these words may sometimes become a handle.

There must be a number of cases in deals like this between celebrities and media and journalists, but Murphy is still very careful.

Leon Ross's face became more and more serious, and he finally decided to regard Murphy as a heavyweight negotiating opponent.

"Smart and cunning as a fox, calm and forbearing like a hunter!"

For some reason, Leon Ross looked at Murphy and remembered this sentence.

"Ten thousand dollars!" He tentatively offered a price.

Murphy seemed to have not heard it, and was still talking nonstop, "I am a Kobe fan, and I will definitely not do anything to harm my idol..."

Leon Ross originally thought that with some means, he could solve this matter without much effort, but in the end he had to use money strategies. Fortunately, he was prepared when he came, and the employer also said that the problems that money can solve are not problems.

Of course, there are limits on the amount of money.

"Thirty thousand dollars..." He continued to increase the price.

Murphy is still telling how he admires Kobe Bryant.

"Forty thousand dollars..." Leon Ross' voice became low.

Opposite, Murphy has already praised Kobe Bryant as a superstar unmatched in the world.

Leon Ross looked at Murphy deeply, "Greed is an original sin! Young man, 50,000 US dollars is a huge sum of money."

Murphy didn't stop talking, it seemed that he was really a big fan of the basketball superstar.

"You..." Leon Rose's eyes glared, "Seventy thousand dollars! This is the highest price I can pay, don't be too greedy!"

Murphy was unmoved.

"Eighty thousand dollars!"

"Ninety thousand dollars..."

Looking at the opposite side, Murphy could guess that it was almost at the bottom.

"You have to know how to stop at the right time." Leon Rose's voice sounded coldly again, "100,000 dollars."

"I said, I admire Kobe." Murphy also knew the principle of stopping. Although the agent on the other side had a bad attitude, he used open means. He didn't believe that Caa would only come out openly when doing things. The current price is not low for him, and it obviously did not touch the bottom line of Caa. "Kobe is my idol, and I will never let anything that harms the idol spread!"

Hearing Murphy's words, Leon Ross couldn't help but look at Murphy again, feeling that this young man was more sophisticated and smarter than he probably thought.

"I want all the copies." Leon Ross calmed down and said in a calm state, "There is still a confidentiality agreement."

Murphy picked up the cup, drank the remaining coffee, and stood up, "You know my phone number."

After saying that, he didn't want to store the disk and turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cafe.

After a night of hard work, Murphy believes that this business can be done completely.

Then, Murphy met attorney Robert and went to Burbank to formally sign a temporary work contract with Channel 6 to participate in the production of the documentary.

Channel 6 has its own editor and producer, and although Murphy will be named as an associate director and photographer in this unnamed documentary, there is not much to participate.

Murphy didn't care. Compared to the professionals on Channel 6, he was really a novice with inexperienced experience and was not yet able to fully serve as an associate director.

Most of the time, Murphy is trying to help the editor.

Since the material does not need to be filmed and the use of past video materials is used, the importance of the editor's work is also highlighted, and it is not unreasonable for Murphy to follow the editor.

It is never easy to become a qualified director and editor.

In the editing room, Murphy stood in a place that was not in the way, without saying a word, just watching the editor named Griffith busy, the other party was dealing with the Bill Road case video and a Latin community robbery that Murphy had filmed a long time ago. He used parallel montage mixed clipping to closely connect the poor and the rich white people who were shot and fell to the ground. He seemed to want to prove in this way that violent crimes in Los Angeles are no longer limited to one place, and both the poor and the rich are victims.

Moreover, compared to the scenes specially processed during the news broadcast, the shots here are more realistic and bloody, ignoring the faces that cover up the identity of the deceased, and it is also easier to attract people's attention.

“The material you shoot is rare.”

After the work came to an end, Griffith walked to Murphy, pointed to the Bill Road case scene on the screen, and said, "I have been in the industry for so many years, and I haven't seen anyone who can shoot such a shocking scene."

"Thank you." Murphy said with a rare humility, "It's just good luck."

The door of the editorial room was knocked from outside. After Griffith responded, someone pushed the door from outside. Murphy turned to see that it was Carla Fais in a professional dress. She nodded to Griffith and greeted him, and then shouted Murphy out of the editing room.

When they arrived at the resting place on the first floor of the TV station, the two found an empty table to sit down. Cara Fais said directly to Murphy, "It seems that you are really studying very seriously."

"An opportunity like this is rare," Murphy said seriously, "I cherish it very much."

Cara Fais pointed to Santa Monica's direction and asked, "How is that dealing with?"

"It's basically done."

There is an insider on the other side, and there is no need to hide it from Murphy, "Tomorrow I will sign a confidentiality agreement with the other party's agency."

"How many?" Kara Fis made a billing move.

Murphy shook his head, "Not a lot."

He stretched out five fingers and shook both sides.

Kara Fis could see clearly and said with a slight sarcastic look, "This is not like your style."

"It's already a lot," Murphy said contentedly. "This is just gossip, and for me, it's much harder to mess with than the LAPD."

"I want to develop in the film industry..." Kara Fis said mercilessly, "You shouldn't be provoking caa."

Murphy finally showed his helplessness, "How could I think of a basketball superstar like Kobe Bryant who belongs to an entertainment company like Caa?"

But then he put away his helplessness, "Dear, you know, I need funds, a large amount of funds."

"I know that." Carafes didn't give him any face, "and also know that you will become poorer than you are now in the film industry."

She sighed in a low voice, changing into a persuasion, "There is a rule in Hollywood that a director will never invest in a movie he shoots."

If it were someone else, Kara Fis would never say so much.

"I know this unwritten rule." Murphy leaned against the back of the chair, "but I can't think of any other way."

The script submitted has not responded to it yet; when I went to the crew for an interview, the other party just learned about the experience of hurting a director, and would close the door...

He has been wasting a year in prison, and there is not too much time in the future. Every year, the fewer opportunities to succeed.

Kara Fis looked at his watch and stood up, "Then I can only wish you good luck."

After a year of bad luck, Murphy has undoubtedly been quite lucky recently, but he is not sure how long this good luck will last for him. Especially in the film industry, luck is often very important. If you are lucky, no matter how exciting a film is released at an inappropriate time and place, you may be so disappointed that you don’t even know him.

A good movie is just the most basic condition for the success of a movie.
