"Can I leave this copy?"

Looking at Gal Gadot's delicate face full of apology and regret, Natalie Portman closed the script and asked, "Is it OK?"

"I'm really sorry." Gal Gadot is not like girls of this age who write everything on their faces, and it's a great way to hide his emotions. "Before I came, Murphy specifically told me to take the copy of the script back. Now the project is still in the confidential stage..."

Natalie Portman pushed the script over, "It's OK."

Gal Gadot smiled apologetically, picked up the script and put it in his bag.

Drinking the remaining coffee in the cup, Natalie Portman suggested, “Let’s go out and have a walk.”

At this moment, Gal Gadot wanted to find an excuse to leave and no longer face this extremely perfect face, but went to Murphy to tell him everything he had encountered today.

But she nodded and responded, "Let's go, I just want to buy a few clothes, please help me with some advice."

The two of them talked and laughed, but there seemed to be no difference from when they came, and walked out of the cafe together.

After strolling around the streets and having lunch together, Gal Gadot has never been so energetic as he is now, and he is more motivated than when he participated in the Miss Universe competition.

She had an independent personality, and the idea of ​​going back to find Murphy was just circling in her head and was thrown onto the Rockies.

Gal Gadot knew very well that Murphy was preparing for "The Lost Lover". She was extremely busy with work. She should not let this little thing disturb him. She could not live forever under the protection of her mother and Murphy. She always had to learn to grow up and mature. And as Murphy became more and more successful, people like Natalie Portman will definitely encounter them in the future. They can't encounter trouble, so they just retreat, right?

She knew that Murphy was never afraid of trouble and struggle, and she was not afraid of either. Since she met such a woman, she should try to hone herself and increase her experience.

What's more, compared to Natalie Portman, she has nothing to lose.

Accompanying Gal Gadot into one fashion store after another, Natalie Portman was very patient and used what he learned from the stylist to give advice to Gal Gadot from time to time, like a good friend who cares for people very much.

While trying on clothes alone in the fitting room, Gal Gadot received another call from Murphy.

"You're out?" She smiled happily, "Where is Nat buying clothes with me?"

"Well, I'm here."

In the caa's reception room, Murphy sat on the sofa, "Bill went out to pick up people, and he probably would be back in a while."

He asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

In the past, Gal Gadot might not understand it very much, but now he understands what Murphy means, "We are fine, don't worry."

Even though Natalie Portman was not around, she didn't say much, obviously she didn't want these trivial matters to disturb Murphy.

After hanging up the phone with Gal Gadot, waiting for a while, the door of the reception room was pushed open from outside, and Bill Roses walked in with a man.

Murphy stood up, his eyes passed by Bill Roses, and landed on the familiar face behind him. The other party was so young, and seemed to be younger than his age.

Is this the guy who intends to invest in his own movies?

Bill Rossis had already come over with the young man with short golden brown hair and took the initiative to introduce the two, "David, this is Murphy, Murphy Stanton, the most promising young director in Hollywood. Murphy, this is David, David Ellison, the founder of Sky Film Fund."

"Hello, David." Murphy took the initiative to extend his hand. David Ellison was not as young as his age. He stepped forward and shook his hand hard. "Hello, Murphy, I am your loyal fan. I have watched each of your "Sin City" and "Scary Planet" more than three times."

Murphy laughed, "It's my honor."

While speaking, Murphy saw Bill Roses gesture to him, nodded slightly, indicating that he knew who the young man opposite was.

"Let's sit down and chat." Bill Roses asked them to sit casually, and sent three cups of coffee.

Sitting together, the three of them chatted for a while, and the topics involved were basically movies and private equity funds. Murphy could see that David Ellison was different from the super rich second generation he remembered. Although some of the ideas were immature and even a little naive, they showed certain ambitions and ambitions, and they did not have the arrogance and domineeringness and ignorance of the so-called words and deeds.

Perhaps David Ellison would be a different person in private, but people who have received elite education since childhood will never act like an ignorant and alternative idiot in such occasions.

"Murphy, Bill showed me your script and plan." David Ellison tried hard to act like a rookie. "A very interesting story, I can imagine, will turn into a very good movie in your hands."

"We have enough confidence in this project," Murphy seemed very confident. "My Stanton Studio and partner 20th Century Fox are currently under tight capital chain, so we are preparing to raise external financing."

Bill Rossis added, "At present, many banks and foundations have contacted us."

This is the real situation. Murphy has the big sale of "Deadpool" in the first place. The new work will naturally be expected by many people, and investors are no exception. There are multiple investors and foundations who have contacted Stanton Studio, but this is just the initial intention. Murphy also has to choose the most suitable conditions from it.

David Ellison held huge sums of money but could not find a suitable investment project. After introduction, he met Bill Roses. Although he was young, he studied at the Film Academy of the USC and had a little understanding of the situation in this circle. He knew that Hollywood has never lacked scammers, and those strange crews who used projects to cheat money can catch a lot.

Therefore, he is quite cautious in choosing projects. With Caa and Murphy Stanton, there will definitely not be too many problems with this project.

But while considering investment security, he also has some of his own ideas.

"Director Stanton, I want to ask." David Ellison frowned, "Can you add some flying scenes in the video?"

Hearing this, Murphy had the urge to roll his eyes, and Bill Roses looked over.

"This is a drama," Murphy refused without hesitation, "not a flying war movie."

He frowned slightly. If the other party insisted on this requirement, he could only be eliminated. Although this would lose a sucker who was willing to invest, with his current fame, it would not be difficult to find other investors.

"Oh..." David Ellison scratched his head, "Do you have any plans to make war movies in the future? Especially war movies with planes and air combat."

This guy is really uncommon to the plane.

Murphy shook his head, "It shouldn't be, I'm not good at war movies."

David Ellison gently patted the armrest of the sofa, as if regretful.

But after his emotional side, he showed his rational side. After dropping out of the USC Film Academy in the first half of this year, he took a huge sum of money to enter Hollywood with an ambitious situation, but the situation is far from as simple as expected. The well-known projects of the six major companies are not lacking in funds, the projects of small companies are not guaranteed, and it may be an investment trap. The Sky Film Foundation has been established for more than three months and has not even found a suitable project.

Finally, my father took action and asked an old friend to help him. The other party introduced him to Caa, and then he encountered such a very reliable project.

It’s just that there is no air combat or airplanes in the project… These are the things that make him unsatisfied.

However, compared to opening up the situation, it is not that important to actually enter Hollywood.

Thinking of this, David Ellison turned to the topic, "Murphy, I heard that "The Lost Lover" still has a $15 million funding gap, and my Sky Movie Fund is interested in investing."

"There is indeed a funding gap." Murphy thought for a while and said, "The project also needs external financing to solve the remaining funding problem."

Looking at the young David Ellison, Murphy's thinking kept turning. This rich man was undoubtedly a real person. He vaguely remembered that he had read some news on the Internet. It was rumored that when David Ellison dropped out of school and entered Hollywood, Larry Ellison handed over a hundred million dollars of funds to him in order to enable him to start a career.

David Ellison did a very good job later, but in the early stage, every investment could be called a super failure. It seemed that in order to open up the situation, he kept throwing out huge sums of money, but did not pursue returns, and was ridiculed by many people.

It was through the failed investments that seemed very costly, that David Ellison accumulated valuable experience, which led to his later success.

Murphy feels that this person's early investment bottom line may be very low, as long as the project is relatively reliable, he does not pursue profits too much.

Thinking of this, he decided to test it out, "David, I reached an agreement with Kara Fes, the head of the project of Twentieth Century Fox. The external funds introduced by "The Lost Lover" are mainly in the form of loans."

If you make a loan, it means that the investor will not participate in the profit sharing of the video, but will only receive the interest stipulated in the contract.

This is also common in Hollywood investments. After all, no one can guarantee that a film will definitely make a profit. Loans are more stable and insured than participating in income sharing.

David Ellison wrinkled his nose again, as if thinking.
