Before leaving Los Angeles, Murphy received a call from Bruce Rosenblum himself. The new Warner Bros. CEO wanted to meet him, and the location was chosen at a beach club in Santa Monica.

Although I don’t know why Bruce Rosenblum wanted to see him, Murphy could guess something and did not refuse. The day after receiving the call, he arrived at the club at the agreed time and met Bruce Rosenblum in a reception room inside.

"Hi, Murphy."

As soon as he walked into the reception room, Bruce Rosenblum came up with him, and his smile was still bright, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard you are working on a big project again?"

Murphy reached out and shook him, "Hi, Bruce."

The two have met several times before and talked about them a little, so they are not unfamiliar with each other.

A waiter brought black tea and coffee. Murphy ordered a cup of tea casually, sat on the exquisitely shaped rattan chair, and slowly tasted the tea. If Bruce Rosenblum had something to do, he would definitely say that he didn't have to worry.

"This is the top Darjeeling black tea," Bruce Rosenblum also picked up the teacup, "It was specially airlifted from India, and I specially prepared it for someone."

"Oh, then I'm going to try it." Murphy took a sip slowly. Unfortunately, he was an amateur among laymen, and he couldn't taste good or bad at all. He just exclaimed randomly, "The taste is fragrant and mellow, very good."

Black tea is obviously not the theme today. After a few words of the two, Bruce Rosenblum put down the teacup and talked about the matters in the movie.

"Murphy, I'm actually here to come here today," Bruce Rosenblum was quite serious, "mostly because of one thing."

"Although I've said it." Murphy said casually.

"Do you remember what I mentioned to you when we met last time?"

Seeing Murphy's face full of doubt, Bruce Rosenblum reminded, "About your proposed DC superhero comic adaptation plan."

He added, "It's your plan that Bruce Berman, who was kicked off by me, completely rejected."

Murphy frowned slightly and asked, "Are you interested?"

"Very interested," Bruce Rosenblum said without hesitation. "I think the executability is very high, and it can get Warner Bros. and DC comic-making movies out of the trough."

"I'm sorry." Murphy didn't need to dodge and said directly, "Are you sure that Warner Bros. and the DC Comics can accept such a dark and gloomy superhero movie adaptation plan? Your three justice giants are not comparable to Deadpool. If I use them for experiments, I will definitely encounter great resistance."

Speaking of this, Murphy spread his hands, "A project is unstable, and the possibility of failure will increase exponentially."

Even though he didn't say it clearly, Bruce Rosenblum still heard Murphy's polite rejection.

He won't give up easily, "Warner Brothers' management and I will support you."

Murphy smiled, but said nothing.

The plan for the DC comic adaptation movie he proposed was not so urgent now. At that time, he urgently needed a super-selling film to prove his business ability, thereby improving his status in the industry and fame among the media and the public. Now, the two films "Deadpool" and "The Disappearing Lover" have sold one after another, fully proving his commercial value. The plan for the DC comic adaptation movie has become irrelevant.

The saying of this time and time is sometimes equally effective in movies and directors.

Besides, he couldn't throw away "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" and switch to filming and producing DC comic adaptations.

Bruce Rosenblum knows that Murphy is different from the past, and it is not easy to impress him now. "I can not only guarantee that Warner Brothers can support you, but you can also get the final editing rights for the cooperative project. You can shoot and make DC movies in your dark style."

It is too difficult to get the final editing rights in a super commercial blockbuster in Hollywood. You can count it in just one slap in Hollywood.

This condition alone can attract countless directors to flock to it.

Having said that, Murphy could only refuse in a more tactful way, "Bruce, you should have heard that I am filming and producing a fantasy TV series, and there will be no schedule for a long time in the future."

Bruce Rosenblum immediately interrogated, "I can wait for you, DC Comics can wait for you, Warner Bros. can wait for you."

It seems that Warner Bros. has put all the treasures on Murphy.

But Murphy won't take it seriously. Warner Bros. still has the Harry Potter series now, and it's not time to go all out.

"I just ask you to think about my invitation urgently." Bruce Rosenblum would not give up easily, "Just call me if you have any need.

"Let's talk about it when I finish "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones." Murphy shook his head gently, "It's too early to say this."

Bruce Rosenblum knew that if he continued, it might have a counter-effect, so he immediately said, "Okay, I will continue to wait for you."

Later, Murphy still did not give any answers, and now is not the time to consider these things.

Murphy left the club and went straight to the temporary office of the crew, which was not very far away. Because there were auditions for several important roles today, the office changed its past desertedness and seemed to be full of people.

Following the long corridor to an audition room, Murphy did not go to see a woman sitting next to him, obviously dressed in an agent, and whispered to a staff member in front of the audition room, "How is the audition?"

"Just just started." The staff member pointed inside through the door, "I just finished auditioning for an actor."

The most fear of being interrupted during the audition was that Murphy stood here and waited for a long time until a young girl who was attending the audition came out and he knocked on the door and walked in.

The work was not going very smoothly. Sansa Stark needed a young and beautiful girl with certain acting skills. These two conditions were not easy to find.

"You guys keep going." Murphy made a gesture to Seth Logan, sat behind the director's monitor, and carefully watched the audition actor's performance.

Another girl came in, and the audition role was Sansa Stark.

However, the girl has a very beautiful appearance and can only say that her acting skills are better than nothing.

Without Murphy's dear, Seth Logan directly drew a fork on the girl's resume.

I watched two more actresses auditions, and there was no type Murphy wanted. After the third audition, the staff member suddenly walked in.

"Director Stanton," he said respectfully to Murphy, "Mr. Bill Roses just came and said he would wait for you in your office."

"I get it." Murphy nodded and said to Seth Logan, "You keep taking responsibility."

After leaving the audition room, he soon returned to his office, where Bill Roses was quietly waiting.

"Is there something wrong?" Murphy asked.

"About the impact on the awards season." Bill Roses opened his briefcase, took out a document and handed it to Murphy. "This is the latest statistics, and the situation is not good for "The Lost Love". Many old members of the academy thought it was great after watching the video, but the themes reflected in it were not pleased with them."

He frowned when Murphy said, "But don't worry too much, there is still hope for us to hit the nomination list."

Murphy basically left this matter to Bill Roses. Bill Roses has been involved in the process recently and has related matters to be handled, so he said goodbye and left soon.

After seeing off Bill Rossis, Murphy opened the document and read it. The contents in the document were mainly Bill Rossis's work summary during this period, as well as the survey data on his and Caa's right to control the Oscar's discourse.

From these survey data, we can see that "The Lost Love" is indeed not very popular among the old men who are not very popular with students.

The first thing that starts with the composition of Oscar jury members. Among the members of the School of Film Arts and Sciences, 94% are white, 77% are male, 86% are over 50 years old, with an average age of 63 years old. The recognized country clubs are more diverse than it.

To refine the film "The Lost Lover", it is an ostensibly a story about love and marriage. But in essence, it is still a thriller and suspense film with a strong color. Compared to the exploration of love, it is a bloody case and a strange case caused by n top-notch ones.

For those who don’t like Murphy, they will inevitably feel that the film is just a bad "showing technique" with no love or feelings. With the aesthetics of the academy, it is unlikely to take Murphy’s set.

Fortunately, Murphy is not seeking Oscars, but is on the nomination list. As long as "The Lost Lover" can get a few Oscar nominations, it will be a huge victory.

In this regard, Murphy has always maintained a clear mind and the requirements are not high. He also has the strong support of Caa and is willing to invest in a large amount of public relations and publicity. It is very likely that "The Lost Lover" won one to three Oscar nominations.

After closing the information and putting it into the file box on the table, Murphy left the office again and planned to go to the audition room to continue reviewing the cast members about Sansa Stark and Arya Stark.

Close the office door and Murphy walked towards the stairs, and in the middle, there were lighting groups in the offices of several other departments.

The lighting group's office was close to the bathroom. When Murphy passed by, a girl came towards her. When she saw Murphy, she waved her first.

"Hi, Murphy." The girl's voice was crisp, with a unique Australian accent, "Long time no see."
