As a professional entertainment lawyer, Robert's office is located in Century City, not far from the Death Star Building where Caa is located. It is extremely convenient for Murphy to see him.

This time, Murphy did not ask Robert out, but got off the plane and went directly to his office.

For some things, he needs to interview Robert, and then rush to New Zealand to meet with Gal Gadot. After the wedding of James Franco and Lily Collins, the two decided to go out for vacation and prepare to ski together according to Gal Gadot's idea. Although North America is midsummer and is not suitable for skiing, New Zealand is the best time to ski.

"Our dispute with Jordan Belfort is basically over..." Robert sat with Murphy in a reception room, "the federal court dismissed his appeal."

"Yeah." Murphy nodded, he didn't take it seriously.

Robert said, "Walter Disney asked to acquire the copyrights of several films shared by Stanton Studios with Miramax Pictures, and Paul Wilson handed over the matter to me."

This is what Murphy asked Paul Wilson to do, "That way, you contact Bill, negotiate with him to deal with it, and sell as good as possible."

Since the Weinstein brothers completely left Miramax Pictures, Miramax has been in name only, and the income generated by those films in advance is relatively limited. As long as the price is appropriate, it is not impossible to sell the copyright in Stanton Studio to Miramax's previous home Walt Disney.

"And..." Robert looked at the Murphys and reminded, "our contract expires at the end of the year."

Murphy had no intention of changing his lawyer, "I'll give me a contract first, and we'll renew it when I come back on vacation."

Robert and the firm behind him had already prepared a contract, which was also Murphy's biggest purpose for returning. Of course, he would not have taken the contract and signed it directly. He would definitely conduct necessary inspection procedures.

He also talked about some of the latest contract with Caa. Before leaving, Murphy specifically instructed, "I want to meet Rose next week."

It is not easy to see a serious prisoner like Ross.

"Well..." Robert nodded, "I'll contact you."

Murphy did not leave directly, but said, "Can you find the downtown Los Angeles, just where I originally lived, the list of Catholic pastors in the 1980s?"

Robert thought for a while and said, "It's a little difficult, it's too early."

"I want a copy," Murphy pondered for a moment, "I also want a copy of the information about Father Marquez Costello, the newly appointed regional archbishop of the Catholic Church."

"Oh?" Robert thought Murphy wanted to do something, reminded, "Murphy, be careful about anything about Catholicism."

Murphy waved his hand, "You're thinking too much. I just met this archbishop and he wanted to introduce me to the Catholic Church."

Robert was not stupid enough to interfere with the beliefs of his clients and said, "Okay, I will send it to your email as soon as possible."

Leaving Robert's office, Murphy went straight to a restaurant near the Fox Building, and he asked Carla Fais to have supper together.

Just three days before the wedding of James Franco and Lily Collins, Murphy handed over the story summary and character setting of the second part of "City of Chaos" to Cara Fais because it would be left to "City of Chaos" to ferment, and then attracted more audiences through DVD, online on demand and TV broadcasting to lay a solid foundation. The film will not be filmed and produced, nor will it be released next year, but will be separated by one to two years like all Hollywood sequel movies.

The first contract with Twentieth Century Fox was signed with Twentieth Century Fox. Even if the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox was replaced by James Murdoch, as long as Carla Fox was here, the other party would not offer a lower pay than other companies, and Murphy would continue to cooperate with Twentieth Century Fox.

"How did I say it?"

Sitting on the side of the dining table against the wall, Cara Fais looked at Murphy opposite, "If this wasn't your project, I would refuse without hesitation!"

Murphy shrugged and ate the steak on his own without answering.

Cara Fais continued, "This ending..."

Although it is not a complete script, the story summary and character design are already very detailed. In addition, Cara Fais knows Murphy's production style very well, so it is not difficult to imagine the end of the film.

She seemed unable to find a suitable adjective, "This is no longer a description of darkness, and Chris Dane's ending was too tragic."

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Murphy drank another sip, then said, "Don't you think the hero's tragic fate can better highlight the theme and style of the film?"

"Where is Jay Rachel?" Kara Fis said again, "This is a pure and kind character. You actually made her turn black... There is no simple good person in the whole film, including the male protagonist."

Murphy thought for a while and said, "Actually, at the end of the first part, I have already told her that her father, the MP, would put her in a dilemma, but the law may not defeat family affection."

There are such things that killing relatives for justice all over the world, but no one can deny that this is contrary to human nature.

Margot Robbie's performance made Murphy decide to change the role of Jay Rachel, thus causing her to struggle. Which is more important, father or legal justice?

Carla Fais sighed, "Are you planning to have a tragedy?"

"That's right." Murphy nodded. He had no need to deny this when facing Cara Fais. "You can't deny that what has been passed down to this day and is still recognized as a classic is mostly tragedy."

Perhaps because he was full, Cara Fais put down his knife and fork, wiped the salad dressing on his mouth, and said slowly, "For example, Shakespeare's four major tragedies?"

"Trama is indeed more likely to resonate." Murphy also put down his knife and fork.

Carla Fes asked according to his words, "Why? Is there any theoretical support?"

"Trama has a long tradition and in-depth systematic inheritance." When talking about this theoretical topic, Murphy, who has received professional education, is still very interesting. "Trama is the focus of research on aesthetics, and tragedy is profound. Aristotle believes that tragedy is the art in art, and Schopenhauer also believes that tragedy is the peak of art. Tragedy has always been a difficult point in aesthetic research. Tragedy has occurred since ancient Greek mythology, and it has been brought to the color of philosophy. King Oedipus killed his father and married his mother because he wanted to get rid of the tragedy of fate that he could not get rid of."

"Let's talk about it in Hollywood," he said, "If Titanic had no tragedy of Jack and Ruth, it would not have been possible to create such a brilliant classic."

"I admit this."

Kara Fis thought for a while and said, "The ending with a flaw is more impressive than the reunion. What you can't get and what you lose is a kind of regret, but it is unforgettable."

Murphy laughed, "Well, that's it."

He turned the topic back to that movie, "Actually, I want to continue to join in some discussions on human nature."

"This should be moderate." Kara Fis knew very well that this kind of thing was a double-edged sword, "It's almost the same as "City of Chaos."

"It should be a little deeper than this." Murphy said directly, "In the previous film, there were almost no voices from New York citizens. I will add this content to this film."

He said again, "Of course the most important thing is the showdown between the two heroes of the positive and negative factions."

To some extent, it's like the double protagonists in The Stealing Fire.

Thinking of this, Murphy also realized that Henry Cavill should be asked to study in a more professional performance school. His acting skills were not as good as James Franco. In addition, the gap in character setting, the role imbalance will definitely affect the entire film.

"By the way, Murphy." Cara Fais thought of the most important thing about meeting Murphy this time, "You need to change some of the things in the story, especially about Hong Kong."

"This is just the first draft." Murphy understood what Cara Fais said, "I will change it to something like Russia or Venezuela later."

Kara Fiss felt relieved, "Twentieth Century Fox cannot give up the market across the ocean."

"I know." Murphy nodded slightly.

This is a very normal situation. Not to mention now, even in the past many years, any movie has to be reviewed in the theater market there. In fact, this situation will basically be faced before the film is released around the world.

For example, in North America, although the rating system of MPAA is not a mandatory requirement, which distribution company will not send ratings when releasing videos? If there is no rating, theaters will almost refuse to show them, and box office revenue will be indisputable.

Since Twentieth Century Fox was willing to invest and offered him a top-notch film pay of 20+25 for the director, Murphy would definitely consider the issue of the big scissors. Although his movies rarely appear in theaters over there due to the scale, these are basically heavy pictures and themes, and have never touched the most sensitive nerves on the other side.

As a director who has never made a movie for himself, and is a commercial director, Murphy will not do anything recklessly.

And he knew very well that any Hollywood film that wants to be released in theaters on the other side must go through this procedure, even Walt Disney, which has been fighting with the hottest in recent years.

Murphy only needs to pay a little attention to this. Although the review standards on the other side are always vague, the content that can be reviewed today may not be able to pass tomorrow. However, the domestic films that only target them have clear quantitative standards for foreign films.

When it comes to a large scissor, everyone is helpless, but after staying in Hollywood, Murphy also fully understood that no matter which country or region it is, it is impossible to completely allow audio-visual products that actually have propaganda and incitement to be circulated at will.
