"It seems you are very experienced," Carla Fisch laughed. "Have you done this?"

"How is this possible?" Murphy looked innocent, "Am I that kind of person?"

He put on a serious face, but said in a joke, "Dear, unless it's you."

"Don't make such a joke." Carafes picked up the wine glass and took a sip, warning, "I will take it seriously, and you will not have time to regret it."

"Cough..." Murphy put his fist on his lips and coughed, quickly turning the topic back, "Let's talk about movies. Hollywood has now formed a complete production system. Once it becomes a system, it will be difficult to play outside the rules, just like bad coins driving out good coins in the market."

Shrugged, he said, "So the protagonist's car in the car chase scene can always escape smoothly. The car chased by either hitting or breaking down; a quarrel between a man and a woman will inevitably be interrupted by a slap in the face. After a brief silence, the man will hug her tightly and kiss her, and then all the problems will be solved."

Kara Fis disagreed, “Isn’t this the case in love movies?”

"I swear, this trick is really useless," Murphy shook his head and pulled back the deflected topic. "Anyway, this system is already a Hollywood money-making machine. It's not what I said, the facts are there."

Holding up the wine glass, Cara Fais took another sip, and suddenly said without warning, "I'm going to New York."

"Hmm?" Murphy raised his head and looked at her in confusion, "Why?"

This is one of his few friends in Los Angeles.

Perhaps he was on a completely different path, Murphy could feel that Rose was actively alienating him. If Cara Fais left, he would really become a lonely person in Angel City.

"The company advised me to go further." Cara Fais put down his wine glass, raised his chin with one hand, and looked at Murphy, "My tutor at Columbia University has also won me a good opportunity."

Murphy raised his glass to her, "Congratulations."

Although he doesn't know American universities, he also knows that this is a good thing.

As a woman who pursues her career extremely, Cara Fais resolutely boarded the plane to New York a few days later. After Murphy sent her away, she devoted all her energy to the post-production of "Hard Fruit Candy". Moreover, as he participated in more and more work, his abilities were also improving. Just as Bill Roses commented, Murphy may lack experience, but his learning ability was outstanding.

After a few busy weeks, Murphy has been able to complete most editing work independently, and can also find the right editing points from the messy shots, and finally turn the shooting materials into what he imagined.

In order to complete it as soon as possible, he simply lived in the studio, spending almost every day at work except for rest and meals. Even Carey Mulligan called him out several times, but refused them all.

As time approaches Christmas, Murphy and Griffith complete the editing of the film, James Franco and Carrey Mulligan also voiced some of the clips, and the post-production is in the end.

Every movie basically requires a soundtrack, and "Hard Fruit Candy" is no exception. Murphy has no money and time to find someone to create an original soundtrack. He chose a few more appropriate songs and paid a certain copyright fee to get permission to use them. These soundtracks are based on three songs, namely "The afternoon of missing a wake-up" when Haley appeared, Jeff was going to shoot a photo for her, and the shocking pop metal at the end.

The $300,000 was basically used up. Murphy had no money to find a professional sound effects editor, so he could only do it with Jody Griffith, and it took more than a week to get it done.

On the other hand, Bill Rossis also fulfilled his promise and won Murphy an opportunity to participate in the official screening of the St. Dennis Film Festival. "Hard Fruit Candy" will be exhibited together with many independent film projects participated by CAA.

Bill Rossis also sent the video to MPAA through CAA channels. Because Murphy handled it carefully enough, the video won the R-level without surprise.

However, Murphy would not be stupid enough to think that Bill Roses really attaches importance to him as much as he said. This opportunity is indeed very rare for people like him who have no access or qualifications, but it is not difficult for those with resources. After all, the St. Dennis Film Festival is the most famous independent film festival in the United States. Each session has more than 300 independent films and hundreds of feature films. Not to mention that they can be distributed in the theater, there are very few films that can be turned into videotapes.

For CAA agents, it doesn’t take too much effort to operate such an opportunity.

In fact, Murphy knew very well that he was just one of the many fish found by Bill Roses and CAA casting nets all over the sky. Whether he could finally get ashore depends on future development.

There is no difference between entertainment agency and film production company. It is naturally their noble customers who can show value. If they are worthless, they will definitely be eliminated.

In any case, receiving the invitation letter to the St. Denis Film Festival opened a stage for Murphy to show off himself and created a rare opportunity.

The biggest advantage of participating in the St. Denis Film Festival is to save Murphy from selling his own films. Every year the film festival screening attracts a large number of professional viewers and buyers from companies. If any film is taken by them, it can even be sold during the film festival.

"It's so annoying!"

In the lobby of the airport, Carey Mulligan stood opposite Murphy with his little leather boots, and said hatefully, "They insisted that I go back to London now!"

She was talking about her parents, "I really want to accompany you to the film festival."

"There is still a chance in the future." Murphy gently patted her arm, looked at the luggage behind her, and reminded him, "Don't forget to call me when you go to London."

"Well..." Carrey Mulligan pointed his little head hard, glared at Paul Wilson, whose head was exposed from behind Murphy, and said pitifully, "I can't see my first video be released in the theater."

"I will take the scene and pass it on to you."

Speaking of this, Murphy couldn't help but sigh, "Maybe we don't even have a single audience."

"No, definitely not." Carrie Mulligan grabbed Murphy's arm and shook it, "You have always been the best! You will always be..."

A radio sounded in the hall about flights in London, and Murphy reminded, "It's almost time, it's time for you to go in."

Carey Mulligan didn't move, staring at Murphy for a while, "I'll miss you."

"I miss you, too."

Hearing Murphy's seemingly sincere words, Carey Mulligan stepped forward and hugged him hard, with his cute baby face pressing against his chest, "You have to wait for me, I will be back soon."

Murphy gently patted her back, "A good journey."
