Hollywood Road

Chapter 321: Balancing business and art

"I'll go back on Wednesday, are you in Los Angeles?"

On the streets of Tel Aviv, Israel, Gail Gadot got out of the car, talked to Murphy on the phone, and walked towards a newsstand, "Honey, what is the box office of the new film for the first weekend?"

Without waiting for the other person to answer, she said again, "Don't tell me anymore, I'll go and see for myself, and keep a little surprise."

After a few more words, Gal Gadot hung up and walked to the newsstand.

"Is there a "Premier" magazine?"

Gal Gadot saw a Hebrew newspaper handed over by the salesperson, shook his head, and said, "It's the latest "Premiere" magazine in the United States."

"Ah..." The salesperson patted his forehead, turned his head, and brought a magazine over, "Is that this?"

Gal Gadot saw that the magazine used the "Disappearing Lover" poster as the cover, and took over and paid, "That's it."

After buying the magazine, she checked the time, came to a car on the side of the road, drove off the street, turned two intersections, and came to the residential area where her home was.

A few years ago, her family moved to Tel Aviv from Rosh Ain, and she deliberately chose this colony known for its safety.

The black car shuttled between the houses with unique shapes, and soon came to the villa closest to the center area. Even if it was placed in this residential area crowded with rich Jewish men, this villa was still quite conspicuous. The area is very large. Although it is not as large as the giant manor of several hectares in North America because of the land area of ​​Israel, it also exceeds one acre in total.

Driving into the garage of the villa, Gal Gadot picked up the magazine from the co-pilot, exited the garage, followed a passage, and directly entered the living room of the villa.

"Didn't you make an appointment with a friend?" There was a female voice full of magnetism on the sofa in the living room, "Why did you come back so soon?"

"She has something to do temporarily." Gal Gadot carried the magazine and walked over and sat on a single sofa. "Mom, is it so late today?"

Her mother runs a huge chain of hotels, she is usually very busy and rarely stays at home at this time.

On the sofa opposite Gal Gadot, sat a middle-aged woman who seemed to be about forty years old. She has a similar appearance and hair color to Gal Gadot, but the whole person looks more mature and shrewd.

"No schedule today." The middle-aged woman looked at Gal Gadot, "I'm waiting for you to come back."

Gal Gadot smiled suspiciously, "What will I do?"

The middle-aged woman's gaze gradually became sharp, "Did you book your flight back to Los Angeles yesterday?"

"Yes, Mom." Gal Gadot pursed his lips. "School is about to start soon, and I have to go back and make some preparations in advance."

"It's not just to prepare for the beginning of school, right?" The middle-aged woman didn't need Gal Gadot's answer, and said directly, "There are other things, right."

Gal Gadot understood what his mother meant and did not hide it, "I miss Murphy."

Speaking of Murphy, a sweet smile appeared unconsciously on her face.

These all fell in the eyes of the middle-aged woman. She sighed secretly, knowing that she must take time to talk with her daughter today.

"Gail, since the age of ten, you have been a very reassuring girl." The middle-aged woman knows communication skills very well. "Mature, smart and stable, inheriting all the advantages of our nation."

She glanced at Gal Gadot and continued, "I rarely interfere with you, because I know what you are doing and what you want. Even if you go to the Miss Universe contest, my mother hasn't stopped him. "

"Yes, mother." Gal Gadot looked at his mother gratefully. "Your best mother in the world."

"But, my dear..." The middle-aged woman sighed, "You are making mom very embarrassed now. Your time in Los Angeles is getting longer and longer, and the time at home during each vacation is getting shorter and shorter. After staying in Tel Aviv for less than half a month, I am going to leave."

Gal Gadot bit his lip, as if he didn't understand his mother's subtext, "I'm very sorry, I will stay in Tel Aviv next holiday to accompany you."

The middle-aged woman shook her head, "My dear, you know I'm not talking about this."

What did the mother say, how could she not know? Gal Gadot was silent for a while, but didn't back down anymore. After all, this was something he had to face.

Gal Gadot frowned. "Mom, why do you keep opposing me and Murphy? I haven't figured it out yet."

"I learned about him a little bit." The middle-aged woman said quietly, "He was born in a slum in Los Angeles. Before he was nineteen, he was a gangster. Later he was in prison..."

She looked at her daughter, "Do you think these can be erased?"

"I don't care." Gal Gadot spread out his hands. "Murphy was indeed a **** when he was young, but that was before, and he is completely different now."

"Have you ever thought that this is his disguise?" The middle-aged woman looked like he could penetrate the world, "and his current reputation is also very bad, he is involved in drug dealers, and he is also involved in racial discrimination..."

"Mom!" Hearing this, Gal Gadot was a little anxious. "That's all tabloid hype!"

The middle-aged woman stretched out a hand and made a downward gesture, "Well, these are hype, but he is in Hollywood, do you really plan to enter that Vanity Fair with him?"

Gal Gadot did not waver, "I can face any complicated situation."

"Will he come back to Israel with you?" The middle-aged woman finally took out her assassin, "Honey, why did you choose to go to college in Los Angeles? Have you forgotten your original intention?"

"I..." Gal Gadot opened his mouth, but was interrupted by the middle-aged woman. "His career is in Hollywood, which is the center of the world's film industry. You think he will give up his career and follow you in the future. Back to Israel together?"

Gal Gadot was silent and left Hollywood. Is Murphy still Murphy?

Seeing her daughter thoughtful, the middle-aged woman ended the conversation in a timely manner, saying too much, it would be bad if it had a counterproductive effect.

However, before she stood up and left the living room, she said again, "Don't forget, he is not our Jew after all."

These last words kept echoing in Gal Gadot's ears, and they reminded her of the places that she had subconsciously didn't want to touch in the past.

Yes, she is going to return to Israel in the future, what about Murphy?

And from the bits and pieces of daily life, she can feel that in Murphy’s heart, Jews are no different from Arabs, Slavs, or people of any ethnicity. He has no idea of ​​Jewish supremacy at all, even in the future. Follow her to Israel, can you integrate into the class of your family?

Besides, how could she let him give up his career and follow him to Israel? This is not his stage.

Sitting on the sofa, Gal Gadot thought for a long time, but never thought of a good solution.

"Forget it, don't think about it." She shook her head vigorously, and threw it all out of her head. "I will stay in Los Angeles for a long time. I will always find a solution."

Thinking of this, Gal Gadot felt that he should do something to divert his attention. When he saw the "Premiere" magazine he had bought, he took it and looked for it. He turned to the page related to Murphy and looked at it seriously. .

"The North American weekend box office "Disappearing Lover" won the championship, Murphy Stanton recreated the box office and word-of-mouth miracle."

Seeing this, Gal Gadot's chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down, and the troubles that bothered her were quickly replaced by the joy of her boyfriend's success.

"Excellent production, fascinating story, cold black humor, everything makes the atmosphere disturbing... "The Lost Lover" will make you uneasy and breathless. This is it Murphy Stanton brought a new masterpiece to North American movie fans last weekend."

"Among the younger generation of Hollywood directors, Murphy Stanton is an excellent example of balancing business and art. While "The Lost Lovers" has brought surprises to people, it has also been harvested wildly in the North American film market. On Friday Earning $18.4 million in 3,500 theaters that day (including $6.2 million in advance on Thursday night), it easily won the single-day championship, and the box office on Saturday was not diminished. It received another $19.2 million and won 49.9 million from North America in three days. The dollar, without any suspense, stood at the top of the North American box office rankings!"

“The film’s comprehensive media score was 84, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes was 87%. 185 people voted for fresh tomatoes, and 27 people voted for rotten tomatoes. The Cinema.Score score was A, which is a good evaluation!"

"The special film critics of our agency also gave Murphy Stanton's film a high evaluation, thinking that'Murphy Stanton's directing is impeccable. Apart from fantasy and hallucinations, he once again proved that he is a young man with a unique style. Director, he is better than any other Hollywood director born after the 1980s. As the most radical film nihilist of our time would define, this film is an excellent dating movie from hell. Everything shows, When the director and the subject matter perfectly match, an amazing movie like "The Lost Lover" will be born."

Close the magazine, Gal Gadot stood up, walked through the living room into the back garden, took out his mobile phone and dialed Murphy's number.

"Honey, I saw it."

As if the previous events were completely forgotten, she smiled and said, "Congratulations, your new movie is going to be a big seller again."

"Isn't this normal?" The voice from over there was like Robert Downey Jr. ass, but the words afterwards turned to low, "I want to see you congratulate me more."

Hearing this, Gal Gadot's heart felt soft, "I'll go back soon. The tickets are booked."

There was a noisy voice on the phone, and she asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"I'm doing publicity activities." The noise is getting louder and louder, Murphy also raised his voice, "I have the airport's established publicity activities to participate in."
