Chapter 600 The struggle for power
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
"This is the entertainment channel of Fox TV. I am everyone's old friend Benjamin Draxler, who sent you live coverage at the Hollywood Chinese Theater in Los Angeles."
Standing in front of the Hollywood Chinese Theater, Benjamin Draxler continued to say to the camera with the main entrance of the theater and a poster of the Hollywood mountains collapsing and cracking, "Today is November 17, and it is getting closer to Thanksgiving. "The End of the World" chose to be released on the weekend before Thanksgiving, which also showed the strong confidence of the film company."
There was a burst of cheers from the red carpet. Benjamin Draxler turned his head and looked at it. Seeing that it was not a big star, he continued, "This R-level science fiction comedy directed by Seth Logan and starring all the Stanton Party members is holding a global premiere in Los Angeles. We have previously played the video of Stanton Party members walking on the red carpet. In addition to Murphy Stanton and his players, Emma Watson and Rihanna also attended the event to help. In addition, the important figures of News Corp. James Murdoch and his stepmother Wendy Deng also attended the premiere... The film will be officially released in North America tomorrow."
Under the guidance of Benjamin Draxler, the camera lens slowly moved and finally aimed at the event area in front of the Hollywood Chinese Theater.
He said in conjunction with the picture, "At the premiere, Seth Logan, a member of the Stanton Party who directed, written and acted by himself, and appeared in love with his new girlfriend Lauren Miller. Emma Watson, Paul Luther, Jay Baruchel and other stars who had a wonderful spoof in the film also came to the scene, and the famous director Murphy Stanton appeared to help."
The camera swept across Murphy and turned to Emma Watson.
Benjamin Draxler's voiceover continues, "The 'Little Witch' Emma Watson's short hair and head style this time showed his beautiful face, and his strapless pants were also very unique, laughing in front of the camera, sexy and cute..."
"What's even more interesting is..." Benjamin Draxler introduced, "All stars in this film appear as real people. Emma Watson, Nicholas Cage, Paul Luther, David Kruholtz and the sexy queen of the pop music industry will all make a spoof in the film."
As the reporter named Benjamin Draxler said, the premiere was full of stars, and in addition to the Stanton party members led by Murphy, there were also stars from all walks of life.
Murphy and the crew members stood in front of the sponsor billboard to take a photo. After the photo was over, Emma Watson walked over and said, "Murphy, can you take a photo together?"
"Of course." Murphy responded with a smile.
Gal Gadot took the initiative to leave the billboard.
Perhaps Murphy's reputation is strong enough, and meeting a director may also bring some unexpected benefits. In addition to Emma Watson, Paul Luther, Rihanna and Nicholas Cage, they also came to take photos with Murphy respectively.
After taking the photo, Murphy had just left the place and was blocked by several reporters.
"Director Stanton, I am Benjamin Draxler of Fox Entertainment Channel..."
Because of his subordinate to the 20th Century Fox, Benjamin Draxler easily occupied the most favorable position for interviews and sent the microphone to Murphy. "Can you talk about your performance in the film "The World's Doomsday"?"
Murphy thought for a moment and reiterated the old saying, "In this movie, we all have to show different levels and different directions of our personality. This seems crazy enough. At the same time, we have to show jokes according to Logan's requirements. My behavior in the movie is completely different from my own habits. Although I play myself in this movie, this sounds very crazy, but in this movie, it is so crazy. Maybe we will have a bit of so-called self-awareness, but in this movie, this consciousness does not exist at all. Everything is serving jokes and stories."
There was also a reporter who wanted to ask questions, but Murphy waved his hand and immediately a security officer came over to separate him from the reporter.
Murphy looked around and didn't see Gal Gadot. She should have gone in first, so she went in with Robert Downey Jr. and Paul Luther who were coming to the Hollywood Grand Theater.
The latter is a member of the "Random Gang". At the invitation of Robert Downey Jr., Murphy heard Robert Downey Jr. mention it. Marvel Studios has confirmed that Paul Luther will be the leading actor in "Ant-Man".
When I entered the Hollywood Chinese Theater, because it was still early, most of the guests chatted in the front hall. In occasions like this, it was a good place for social interaction.
The Stanton party members were naturally the focus of the vestibule, and Murphy also walked over, and Gal Gadot was talking to Seth Logan's female companion.
"Seth, you guy..."
Before he got closer, Murphy heard Jonah Hill's voice asking for guilt, "You have a girlfriend, but you don't tell us."
James Franko also seemed very angry, "I'm so disappointed with you!"
Seth Logan spread his hands and was about to say something. Robert Downey Jr. walked over and patted his shoulder, "Tell me, Logan, do you want to become a Wolverine? Or a Phantom Cat?"
Murphy ignored these guys who were not good at it and greeted Lauren Miller first.
Lauren Miller shook hands with Murphy, and saw Seth Logan being besieged by Robert Downey Jr., Jonah Hill and James Franco, and could not speak out, so he quickly stood up to help his boyfriend.
"It's not a mistake for Logan," she said with a smile. "We only confirmed the relationship last month. I told him not to make it public."
In fact, Lauren Miller is not a stranger. Murphy and others have known her for a long time. She was one of the producers of the crew when Seth Logan was filming "The Hangover".
"Lauren Miller is more than just a producer."
Just as Robert Downey Jr. greeted Lauren Miller, Gal Gadot came to Murphy and whispered, "A film she is still an actor and screenwriter. She is a film that she is the screenwriter and starring.
Murphy nodded slightly, and he had heard of Lauren Miller.
The Stanton party members had their own social networks, and gradually dispersed. When there was no one around Murphy, James Murdoch came over and greeted Murphy and Gal Gadot.
"How is the post-production of the new film?" James Murdoch asked.
"It's already the final stage." Murphy gave an answer that would reassure investors, "It will definitely not delay the pre-screening in December."
Compared to the movie that obviously doesn't have much commercial attributes, James Murdoch was more concerned about another movie and asked, "Where is the sequel to "City of Chaos"? When will the preparations start?"
Murphy thought for a moment and said, "It's going to be in April and May next year."
James Murdoch thought of Murphy's habit and asked, "Then will the 2013 summer season be released?"
"Well..." Murphy didn't hide it, "I exchanged opinions with Cara Fais, and the summer season in 2013 is a good one."
After hearing what he said, James Murdoch felt relieved and suddenly changed his words, "Murphy, my father likes your videos very much. At the end of this year, do you have time to go to New York to attend a New Year's dinner? My father has always wanted to see you."
Murphy could hear it. This was a very sincere invitation. After pondering for a moment, just as he was about to answer, a woman's voice suddenly sounded to the left of James Murdoch, "If Director Stanton intends to participate, I can send a private jet to pick you up."
James Murdoch turned to look in the direction of the sound, and immediately frowned.
At the same time, Murphy's eyes also turned over, and a brunette woman in a red sequined deep V evening dress came over.
She nodded to James Murdoch expressionlessly, then went straight to Murphy, filled with smiles on her face, and took the initiative to stretch out her right hand, "Hello, Director Stanton, I have wanted to get to know you for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had a chance."
Murphy gently held it on her right hand, "Hello, Ms. Deng, I'm glad to know you."
"Call me Wendy." Wendy Deng smiled enthusiastically, "My friends call me that."
James Murdoch said, "I have prepared a private plane for Murphy, so I won't work for you Wendy."
Wendy glanced at James Murdoch, "I remember you weren't going to fly to London to attend a hearing recently? London's affairs are very troublesome. I guess you will not be able to handle it for a while. Let's use my plane."
Perhaps others can't understand the hidden content of this sentence, but Murphy understands that the "eavesdropping gate" incident of News Corp is getting more and more intense, and he is directly targeting James Murdoch. Several hearings held by the UK have all pointed out that News Corp must allow James Murdoch to attend.
"The UK is just a small matter." James Murdoch continued, "I can do flights to the UK, and private jets are reserved specifically for Murphy to use."
He seemed to be conveying his importance to Murphy in this way.
"It's better..." Wendy Deng is obviously not a simple person, "I'll inform your father and let your father make a decision."
As soon as these words were said, James Murdoch's face instantly looked a little uncomfortable.
Murphy looked at James Murdoch, then at Wendy Deng, and roughly understood.
"Wendy, James..." he said with a smile, "Don't bother. I can't confirm the itinerary at the end of the year. If I had the honor of attending News Corporation's New Year's dinner, I would have gone there myself."
