Slowing down a little, Murphy neither agreed nor disagreed. Instead, he asked little Robert Downey to explain what he had learned in detail, and then thought about it for a few minutes.
"Donny, we''re either not moving." Murphy turned to look at Robert Downey Jr. on the co pilot and said, "if you want to move, you need to get to the bottom of them!"
For Murphy''s words, Robert Downey, Jr. fully agreed and nodded without hesitation.
"What''s the point that they can be caught by us now?" Murphy asked directly, "you know what?"
Little Robert Downey shook his head. Compared with the father and son, his so-called Hollywood family is nothing.
"I''ve been to China some time ago, and I heard a sentence there. I think it''s very reasonable."
Turning to look at little Robert Downey, Murphy said, "as long as a person has the perseverance and perseverance to revenge, it''s not too late to wait and look for opportunities even in ten years."
"I I see If Robert Downey Jr. realizes, "I''m looking for the right opportunity."
"Well." Murphy nodded, then shook his head. "It''s not you, it''s us!"
Robert Downey, Jr. didn''t say any polite words. He knew Murphy and knew that with their relationship, Murphy couldn''t stand by.
After dropping Robert Downey Jr. at Beverly Hills and refusing his dinner invitation, Murphy went straight back to his home in the Santa Monica valley. The lease of the house, which has lived for several years, will expire at the end of this year. Before that, he has to settle down, or he will have to go to a hotel for a while.
After a simple dinner, Murphy makes a phone call to grace, asking her to collect more information about the "flower of LISS". This manor has left a deep impression on him. If there is no other inappropriate place, Murphy also wants to buy it as soon as possible.
Grace gave him bad news.
"There are a lot of people who are interested in buying this manor," she said on the phone. "The owners and agents may hold a public auction to maximize their interests."
"Public auction?" Murphy frowned.
If the "flower of LISS" enters the auction process, the price may rise again.
Of course, this may also be a gimmick made by the agent sales company, and the purpose is to earn more money.
Murphy thought for a moment and said, "grace, try to get in touch with the owner of LISS flower and have a good talk with her. I can give her an ideal offer."
"Well." Grace agreed.
Now it''s rare that there is no busy work to disturb. Murphy relaxes and has a good night''s rest. The next morning, he goes to the warehouse on the outskirts of Venice. Stanton studio and 20th Century Fox have reconvened the production team headed by Paul Wilson and started to prepare for the third season of "Song of ice and fire: game of power".
Due to the excellent response of the first season, the TV series has not adopted the name setting of each book in the series of novels, but has been using "game of power" as the title.
"Overall, the preparations went well."
For example, Paul Wilson and others are busy with their work. Murphy just saw it. As the general director of the project, Carla Firth accompanied him around the studio and said, "with the preparation, shooting and production of the second season, Paul Wilson has accumulated a lot of experience and made great progress."
Murphy deliberately said, "the people I bring out are absolutely top talents."
Carla Firth rolled her eyes, walked him into the rehearsal room and said, "you''re lucky to meet someone who''s talented and hardworking."
Although she said that, she knew that the people around Murphy had been greatly influenced by him and had gradually grown into the top talents in Hollywood.
For example, Paul Wilson, after the second season of "game of Thrones" hit, many film companies asked him to direct films, but he declined.
In the rehearsal room, the actors are all in intense rehearsal. Murphy just talks with the familiar Margot Robbie and Jessica Alba, and then pulls Kara Firth out.
They went to the rest area of the studio, bought two cups of coffee from the vending machine, sat at a table and continued to chat.
Because of their work, Murphy and Kara Firth haven''t seen each other for quite a long time besides their last dinner.
After talking about work, the topic gradually turns to Murphy''s plan to buy a house. Carla Firth is a little surprised. "Are you going to buy the flower of LISS?"
Murphy nodded. "The house I see is the flower of LISS."
Carla Firth knew something about LISS flower and said, "you need to prepare 100 million dollars. Do you need my help?"
"Not yet." Murphy shook his head again.
"So it is." Carla Firth suddenly laughed, "not to mention that the box office bonus of" body of steel "will soon be in place. The profits you get in the first and second seasons of" game of Thrones "alone are enough to pay for it.""I want to thank you for that." Murphy raised his coffee cup to Carla Firth. "If it hadn''t been for you, 20th Century Fox wouldn''t have paid off that part of Stanton studio''s profits so soon."
Carla Firth took a sip of coffee and said, "it''s none of my business. Working with Stanton studio is a basic operation strategy of fox in the 20th century."
After Murphy put down her coffee cup, she asked, "the board of directors of the company asked me to ask you, the director agreement you signed with Warner Bros. and DC Comics has been completed. When will you continue to cooperate with 20th century fox on new projects?"
Murphy didn''t refuse the kindness released by 20th century fox, saying, "do you want me to take a break first?"
Speaking of rest, Carla Firth suddenly thought of another thing. She put down her coffee cup and asked, "after finishing the script of the third season, George Martin said that he would have a rest for a while. Now the novel" song of ice and fire: game of power "has not been finished, and his health has not been very good. If he has not finished the novel yet..."
She didn''t say the following words, but Murphy understood them and said, "don''t worry."
In the past, the progress of the TV series of "game of power" exceeded that of the novel itself. George Martin was really old, and he was not in good health. He had to work part-time as a screenwriter of the TV series, which seriously affected the creation of the novel itself.
Now "game of Thrones" has become a joint project between Stanton studio and 20th century fox, which started earlier than ever, and the TV series will soon surpass the progress of the novel.
George Martin''s age and body are really worrying. In fact, not only Carla Firth, but also a considerable number of people, including Paul Wilson, have expressed their worries to Murphy. Some fans have joked on the Internet that George Martin is using his life to delay the manuscript
There are too many aspects involved in this TV series. The benefits created alone will make every participant earn a lot. It''s normal to have such worries.
"It''s not just us, but George Martin himself is worried that he might die before he has finished this series."
Murphy talked to George Martin a long time ago, so he was calm. "Carla, don''t worry, George Martin has written down the direction of the story and the ending of the whole story..."
"Really?" Kara fee interrupts Murphy and asks, "who''s on the iron throne in the end?"
Hearing this question, Murphy can only reluctantly spread his hand, "I''m very sorry, I don''t know who became the master of the iron throne in the end, who won the power game."
Carla Firth looked at Murphy with doubts in her eyes.
"The outline of the story that George Martin wrote and the final ending were not given to me." Murphy explained in detail, "after he did justice, he stored it in the safe of Swiss bank and gave me the key to the safe."
Murphy took a sip from her coffee cup and continued, "if you want to open the safe, you have to wait until after George Martin''s death, or..."
He shook his head. "The end is still a secret."
Frankly speaking, Murphy also wants to see the ending, but George Martin has his own principles, and there is no secret between them.
If he knew the ending, wouldn''t he talk to Carla Firth now? And if Gail gado asks, can you pretend you don''t know? Tell Gail gado, her new best friend Margot Robbie asked about the fate and ending of Sansha, Gail gado is also very difficult to refuse, right?
Therefore, George Martin chooses to lock in the safe. He can successfully complete the end of the series of novels of song of ice and fire, and the things in the safe will be void. If not, Murphy and the whole crew will not let the plot get away from his idea.
On the one hand, it can ensure that no matter how the main plot of TV series can go according to his ideas, on the other hand, it is also the most basic professional ethics.
George Martin has been performing the adaptation contract signed between the two sides, including Stanton studio''s priority to obtain the subsequent adaptation right. Generally, no one will suddenly change the partner.
Of course, price increases are essential.
When the film or TV series adapted from the novel is popular, and the original copyright owner creates a new sequel, the price will be increased if he wants to buy it. For the production company, he will certainly think of this possibility in advance. In the first copyright purchase contract between the two parties, it is agreed that "if the copyright owner creates a sequel, he shall inform the production company, and under the same price, the production company shall have the right to purchase the sequel Priority shall be given to the right of adaptation and production of sequels. "
The contract between Stanton studio and George Martin contains such a clause.
"Game of power" is on the right track, and it is bound to provide a lot of profits for Murphy in the future. However, at this stage, it is "body of steel" that can lead Murphy to a huge income. (to be continued). )
