Chapter 538 The Unsung Hero
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
The next day, Gal Gadot did not go to the crew, but accompanied Murphy to attend the trial. Not only Murphy, but Robert Downey Jr. also arrived.
Sitting in the auditorium and hearing the final verdict, Murphy was first disappointed, then breathed a sigh of relief.
Gal Gadot next to him watched Rose being taken away, and could guess that Murphy's mood must be very complicated. He reached out to grab his hand and snatched it with comfort.
Robert on the other side patted Murphy's arm and whispered, "We've tried our best."
Murphy nodded slightly, of course he knew that the lawyers had done their best. It was very difficult to win the current penalty results with the evidence obtained by the police and the prosecution.
It is impossible for Ross to be acquitted like Simpson. Murphy knew this very early, so the biggest hope is that Ross will not be sentenced to death. After all, he not only involves drugs and arms, but also involves multiple murders.
Anyway, this goal was achieved, and Ross was sentenced to eighty years in prison.
He was born in the 1970s. Normally, these eighty years of imprisonment basically meant that Ross would spend the rest of his life in prison.
However, there are no clauses such as no reduction in sentence or parole in the sentence, which also means that there is still room for operation later.
The first thing is to save Rose's life before talking about other things.
After the trial, Murphy and Gal Gadot met with Robert Downey Jr. and walked outside with the abortion.
"I didn't expect to do so much," Robert Downey Jr. shook his head as he walked, "It's still the result."
Murphy gently patted his shoulder, "It's the best result."
Robert Downey Jr. knew that Murphy was telling the truth, so he could only sigh.
Several people quickly walked to the exit of the court. Gal Gadot looked outside and saw many reporters vaguely. He waved to the back. The four bodyguards she and Murphy brought, plus the recognition brought by Robert Downey Jr., totaling eight strong men surrounded the three of them in the middle.
Murphy had just stepped out of the door, and countless reporters rushed over like flies that smelled blood. The camera's flashing lights were connected together, and the shutter sound was clearly heard.
"Director Stanton, it is said that you have something to do with this case, isn't it true?"
Of course, media reporters would not let Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. go to the crowd. All kinds of questions kept throwing over.
"Robert, was your drug use related to this drug cartel?"
"Murphy, did you start money as a director come from this drug cartel?"
"It is said that you two have financial involvement with them?"
"There is a definite news that the FBI is investigating you, is that right?"
Eight burly men isolated the reporters. Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. were not interested in answering any questions. It was not appropriate to say anything at this time. Their friendship with Ross was hyped by the media as early as the case investigation stage. The FBI also conducted targeted investigations, but it was true that both sides were friends, but they did not involve any economic or other exchanges. They were as clean as blank paper.
Under the protection of bodyguards, Murphy and his three men quickly squeezed into the front of the car. After getting into the car, the reporter refused to disperse and continued to take photos around the car. After nearly twenty minutes, the black seven-seater business car gradually drove away from the court.
"How much does a lawyer cost?" Robert Downey Jr. suddenly asked.
Murphy waved his hand, "Don't worry about these."
He knew that Robert Downey Jr. wanted to bear Ross' attorney fees, which did cost a huge amount of money, but to him, it was nothing.
Robert Downey Jr. wanted to speak, but when he saw Murphy shook his head again, he simply closed his mouth.
Gal Gadot, who was sitting in front, looked back at the two of them. In some ways, whether it was Murphy or Robert Downey Jr., such an act of expelling Ross from the scene could easily lead to criticism, but they didn't care at all.
"I hope this ends." This is what Gal Gadot thinks.
Although she knew that there was no dispute between Murphy and Ross and could not incur legal punishment, the more she participated, the more she would undoubtedly be unfavorable to Murphy's reputation.
After all, he is a big director and not an ordinary rich man.
But Murphy didn't think so at all. After putting down Robert Downey Jr., he called his lawyer Robert.
"Now the sentence is announced." Murphy's voice was a little low, "Robert, arrange for me to meet Rose as soon as possible."
Gal Gadot opened his mouth and finally said nothing.
She didn't know how Robert on the other side answered, and only heard Murphy say again, "The faster the better."
Murphy hung up the phone and pulled Gal Gadot's hand, "Don't worry, it's okay, I can still bear this public opinion pressure."
Over the years, has he received less criticism? From homosexuality to drug trafficking to psychopathy, he has attacked him for no less public opinion than praise, but his psychological quality is good enough to completely ignore these criticisms.
Even if the media and the tabloids borrowed his relationship with Ross again to hype, Murphy didn't care. People's words were indeed terrifying, but they couldn't hurt him. He always believed that actions were more powerful than words.
Therefore, from the beginning to the present, he has not said much about Ross' case, but he has done nothing less. If he had not hired a huge amount of money to hire a whole super luxurious team of lawyers, Ross would have been sentenced to death.
A series of accidents may even happen if you don’t wait for the trial.
The judicial system of this country is very beautifully publicized to the outside world, but in fact, the crows in the world are all ordinary black.
Perhaps it was because of the relationship that I experienced in prison that Murphy would most of the time start from the worst side when looking at the country and society of America, as well as the human nature here.
This leads to his being too realistic and his psychological level seems a little dark, but this is also beneficial. If he does not have those unrealistic fantasies, he will not be confused by fantasies.
Murphy and Gal Gadot did not return to Beverly Hills, but went to the set in Venice. On the set, they met Filey Raschel, who had just been released by the police, and the photography director was in a bad state.
"It's fine." Murphy gently patted his arm, "With you, I don't know how to make a movie."
Filey Raschel scratched the back of her head embarrassedly, "Sorry, Murphy."
Murphy shook his head, "It's okay. So, you have two days off first and come to the crew the day after tomorrow."
With Filey Raschel's current mental state, it is not suitable to start work immediately. It is better to let him take a two-day break and come to the crew to serve as his photography director after he recovers.
"Yeah." Philip Raschel nodded vigorously, "Then I'll go back first."
Murphy asked the crew's driver to send Filey Raschel back to avoid another accident. For him, the director, Filey Raschel, the photography director is very important.
It is no exaggeration to say that the photographer Filey Raschel is one of the most important people in Murphy's team.
If a photographer uses mediocre techniques to shoot an excellent actor, the result will be disappointing; if the photographer shoots a delicate scene without any creativity, the investment in the film will be wasted; if the photographer uses a traditional camera to shoot a wonderful story, it will definitely be boring.
If a director cares about his own movie, he should pay attention to every shot taken by the photographer.
The exquisite lens design can be said to be a gift given to the audience by photographers.
One of the abilities that movie celebrities have is that they can tell a story that is closely linked to the heart and worth remembering, and can create a world that is fake and real. Just like Murphy and Felix Raschel, many directors actually have preferred photographers, such as the Coen brothers and Roger Dickins; Paul Thomas Anderson and Robert Esweett, etc.
As long as the director and photographer call, there will be wonderful chemical reactions. Often, the better the shooting guide is when shooting, the better the effect presented by the movie lens will be.
However, photographers also have their own styles. Some photographers show a unique and unique style in each of their films. Some photographers will first focus on the characters and then render the atmosphere.
Every photographer has a very different perspective on the world, so Murphy will not change the photography director easily, because after so many years of cooperation, Felix Raschel cooperated with him and was the most suitable photographer for him.
To be honest, photographers are very limited in fame, even photographers who have won the Oscar for Best Photography Little Golden Man are no exception. Although photographers have done a lot of work and participated in almost all production links and processes of the film, generally speaking, after the movie is released, the director will be praised or criticized by the audience, and the producers can make profits, while the photographer has become an "unsung hero". The audience often knows who the director of a movie is, but they will not know who the photographer is.
In Murphy's team, Filey Raschel not only participates in pre-preparation and on-site shooting. Once the pre-production, on-site shooting and other work are completed, he will also participate in the post-production of the film. Although he will not directly participate in film narrative editing and other matters, photographers usually work with colorists and editors to further adjust and improve the visual theme and film background.
In the next two days, Murphy still served as the photography director, but the shooting speed continued to fall behind the plan. It was not until Filey Raschel returned to the crew that the shooting speed gradually returned to normal. Murphy no longer had to hold two important positions during the shooting, and could also replace his work efficiency.
