Hollywood Road

"Good job, kid."

As soon as he walked into Recreation Room No. 15, David Ellison heard his father’s loud voice, which was different from the usual sarcasm in the past. The voice was full of praise, "You made the first success. step!"

"I……"

Seeing Larry Ellison's rough face, David Ellison didn't know what to say for a while.

Megan Ellison looked sideways at Larry Ellison, as if his father praised David this way for the first time?

Larry Ellison walked to David Ellison and patted his shoulder heavily, "You are smarter than I expected. I thought you would have to pay tuition for the first three to five years. ..."

He nodded with satisfaction, "You did a good job, you chose a great partner, and you continue to build a good relationship with him. The immediate benefits are not the most important thing. Keep your eyes on it."

David Ellison said quickly, "I understand."

"You have grown up and matured." Larry Ellison seemed to have made some decision. "It's time to get all the authority of your foundation."

"Really?" David Ellison was quite excited. "Is this true?"

Megan Ellison rolled his eyes. Is David really capable? Really won't lose all the money in the foundation? Humph……

She snorted coldly. If she didn't continue to cooperate with Murphy Stanton, this guy would definitely fail to nothing, and finally ran back to his father for help.

His success is not his own ability at all, but just a ride on Murphy Stanton's success.

"Do you really plan to continue working with David Ellison?"

In Twentieth Century Fox’s office, Carla Firth placed a cup of coffee in front of Murphy, "Don’t think about kicking him out?"

"Why not cooperate?" Murphy leaned on the swivel chair, supporting the armrests with both hands. "I talked to David Ellison before, and he will cooperate with us in the way of investment in "The Lost Lover", The Stanton Studio only needs to pay a loan interest and does not need to transfer copyright and dividends. How can I refuse this kind of goodwill?"

Carla Fess thoughtfully, "He seems to be eager to prove his ability with some successful projects."

"I guess there is no way. Born in a family like Ellison, and such a successful dad, when he entered society..." Murphy shook his head, "Most people and the media, even if they are around I’m afraid I’ll wear colored glasses to look at him. Even if I were to face this situation, I’m afraid I would want to prove as quickly as possible that I was not a rich second generation who only relied on his family and dad. "

Carla Faith nodded slightly.

"For now, David Ellison is a good investor."

In the cooperation of "The Lost Lover", this rich second generation left a very good impression on Murphy, "Having a large amount of money in his hand, and willing to invest, he does not interfere in the operation of the crew indiscriminately, and is still within his ability. I have not seen such a good investor so far."

It is difficult to say what will happen in the future, but now David Ellison is eager to prove that he doesn't care too much about the profit of the investment.

If he doesn't like this kind of investor, what kind of investor can he like?

"How much loan does he plan to give you?" Carla Faith asked curiously, "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones."

"Twenty million to thirty million dollars." Murphy picked up the coffee cup, "I have to talk about the details, and there is also the issue of interest."

Kara Fess nodded, "In this case, your Stanton studio basically doesn't need much investment."

Murphy took a sip of coffee and said unhurriedly, "Bill has prepared for me to negotiate with Fox TV Network. Your department will also join the production. The biggest issue now is the investment ratio and copyright of both parties. "

Looking at Murphy, Carla Faith didn't speak.

"My bottom line is that Stanton Studios must occupy 51% of the investment and copyright." Murphy wanted Carla Faith to convey this message to the senior management of Twentieth Century Fox. My opinion is the main one."

"After the negotiation, I am the direct person in charge of Twentieth Century Fox in this TV series." Carla Faith didn't need to hide anything from Murphy. "But everyone knows my relationship with you. Twenty Century Fox’s negotiating team excluded me, and I could not participate in specific negotiations."

Murphy smiled, "I know."

Twentieth Century Fox was neither a fool nor a charity, and he was not surprised to do so.

The two sides are indeed working closely together, but no one will easily give up the profit that can be competed for.

Although unable to participate in the negotiation, Kara Fes still said, "Don't worry about the negotiation, it is better to wait for a while."

"It must be a while." Murphy pointed to his head, "This is the planned plan."

When "Disappearing Lover" gets better box office results, Stanton Studio will undoubtedly be in a better position in the negotiation.

After saying a few more questions about follow-up cooperation, Murphy walked out of Carla Faith's office.

"He's out."

In another office on the same floor, an assistant who paid attention to the dynamics of the corridor saw Murphy walk out and quickly returned to the office. He said to Dave Scola in the suite, "Murphy Stanton is here. ."

Dave Scola immediately got up from his chair, ready to go out without even thinking about it, and have a chance encounter with Murphy Stanton.

He must do something to change the current unfavorable situation.

Carrying countless ambitions, "Kings of Heaven" sold off the box office in North America for just over 40 million U.S. dollars, which put him under tremendous pressure. Worse still, the first day of "The Lost Love", which was in charge of direct competitors Sell, it is very likely to get an extremely beautiful data in the first week.

All this almost made him stand on the edge of the cliff.

Dave Scola has been thinking hard since the first weekend box office loss of "The Kings of Heaven", and now finally understands that there is only one way to suppress the aggressive Carla Faith.

In his eyes, one of the most important reasons for Carla Fess to be able to press on like this is that she has the support of Murphy Stanton, so she doesn't have to worry about performance issues at all.

Why can't such a promising young director form an alliance with himself?

Indeed, everyone knows the friendship between Murphy Stanton and Carla Faith, but how many friendships in this world can truly stand the test?

Out of the office, Dave Scola did not walk directly to Murphy's side. The intention was too obvious. Instead, he turned his head and walked into the elevator. He stood here and waited for a while, Murphy accompanied by a crisp The sound of footsteps came in.

"Hi, Murphy." Dave Scola took the initiative to say hello.

Murphy smiled and nodded, "Hello, Dave."

"Come here to look for Kara again?" Dave Scola said casually, then said, "Is there time?"

"Is there anything?" Murphy frowned slightly. "I'm going to CAA."

The elevator came at this time, Dave Scola first walked to the elevator, and then made a please gesture to Murphy, warm and respectful like a hotel concierge.

Despite some doubts, Murphy entered the elevator, and Dave Scola also walked in afterwards.

"One floor?" he asked.

Murphy nodded slightly, "One layer."

Dave Scola pressed the button on the first floor, waited for the elevator door to close, and said directly, "Can you talk, Murphy?"

"I'm going to CAA." Murphy said.

"It won't delay you much time," Dave Scola insisted. "Five minutes is enough."

Murphy thought for a while and nodded slightly.

Out of the elevator, Murphy followed Dave Scola to the rest area on the first floor of the Fox Building, and found a place where no one was sitting, wanting to see what the twentieth-century Fox executive was about to say.

In the past, Dave Scola didn't pay much attention to Murphy, but now he knows enough to know that this is a person who likes to go straight.

"Marvel Comics has just established Marvel Pictures." He found out that Murphy had wanted to get the movie rights of Marvel heroes more than once. "Kevin Fitch, the CEO, is a good friend of mine."

He stared at Murphy closely, "If I recommend it, it is not difficult to become the director of Marvel Comics."

Frankly speaking, it was very tempting, but Murphy just smiled.

"In Twentieth Century Fox, I will fully support you. No matter what your project is, I will help you to pass the review."

As if very confident, Dave Scola said again, "I guarantee that any project you collaborate with Twentieth Century Fox, you will have the final editing rights."

He suddenly showed an inexplicable smile, "There is also the right to choose actors, you can choose according to your own preferences..."

Dave Scola deliberately increased his tone, "Choose the heroine!"

Hearing this, Murphy raised her brows as if she was very interested.

"Funds, powers, actors, scripts, the subject matter you want to shoot..."

Seeing the expression on Murphy's face, Dave Scola laughed, "I can promise you all of these, as long as... we cooperate!"

Why did Murphy Stanton work so desperately with Carla Faith? Dave Scola thought about this question carefully, but seeing Carla Faith’s beautiful appearance and **** figure, he thought he found the answer, presumably Murphy Stanton and Cara Faith are more than friends. Is friendship so simple?

Carla Firth is indeed very beautiful, but Murphy Stanton is no longer the little director before. As long as "The Lost Love" can meet the expectations of 20th Century Fox, it will surely enter the ranks of second-line directors. What kind of beautiful woman can't find the director in this position? Will hold Kara Feith a tree.

Murphy put his arms around his chest, as if thinking seriously.

Dave Scola smiled brighter, "Cooperate with me, and your interests can be guaranteed."
