Hollywood Road

In the lounge, Gal Gadot sat quietly next to Murphy, looking at the girl who was just a few years older than him, and was full of curiosity. Murphy and her were just a chance encounter, and there was no special intersection. Not a movie lover like Mawson and John, what do you come to Murphy for?

Of course, she would not be so stupid as to think that the other party has taken a fancy to Murphy. In the eyes of people in the movie circle, Murphy is definitely a priceless treasure, but this girl has nothing to do with Hollywood.

Gal Gadot heard that Morson mentioned this talented cousin. Last year was the year before, she just dropped out of Stanford University. She dropped out not because of poor academic performance, but because she wanted to start a business!

According to Mawson, it is conservatively estimated that the other party should also have a net worth of millions or even tens of millions of dollars.

"I have read a lot of reports and materials about you, Murphy." Elizabeth Holmes looked at the other side and said with a smile, "Your experience is definitely an entrepreneurial miracle."

"Uh..." Murphy stunned. "It's the first time anyone commented on me like this."

"Isn't it?" Elizabeth Holmes opened her hands. "Your Stanton studio has participated in the production of many successful films and invested in "Deadpool." Isn't this a successful business?"

Murphy did not speak, nor could he understand what the other party meant.

Elizabeth Holmes seems very excited, "Any successful entrepreneur is worthy of respect."

"Well, it is true." Murphy nodded, and gradually grasped some of Elizabeth Holmes' thoughts, and deliberately asked, "Presumably Liz, you are also a successful entrepreneur."

"Yes, although my career has just started, it has already entered the stage of producing gains." Elizabeth Holmes seemed quite confident.

Murphy glanced at Gal Gadot. Gael Gadot immediately turned into a curious girl and asked, "Can you know what you do?"

The answer given by Elizabeth Holmes made Murphy and Gal Gadot stunned, "I hope to build a medical system that can completely change the status quo of medical care. I don’t want to improve on some existing technologies, but Want to invent a new technology that can benefit everyone regardless of region, race, age or gender."

This ambition is really not so big, it seems that afterwards, Oheitan has planted a big somersault on the medical reform, right? Murphy became more curious.

"The year before last, I used the saved tuition to start a company." As if to say something terrific, Elizabeth Holmes was ecstatic. "In the beginning, I could only rent one in the basement of the college. A room, studying while working, but after a semester, I formally dropped out of Stanford University and started to start a business whole-heartedly, and developed into a company that has been featured in technology and financial magazines several times."

"Oh..." Gal Gadot nodded politely, "It's amazing."

Unlike Gal Gadot, Murphy did not take the initiative to speak, but continued to look at Elizabeth Holmes curiously, until Elizabeth Holmes could not bear his scorching gaze.

"Liz, I'm a person who likes simplicity and directness." Murphy didn't want to be entangled here, and said simply, "I believe your time is also precious."

Having said that, Elizabeth Holmes is no longer going around in circles, "My company is financing externally, looking for suitable investors."

This answer is not particularly surprising. Murphy just frowned and pointed to himself and said, "Do you think I am a suitable investor?"

Elizabeth Holmes asked rhetorically, "Isn't it? Do you still need me to list your successful investment cases? My company will be your next success."

I don't know why, Murphy faintly smelled Uncle Joe from her.

These words aroused him more curiosity, "Can you talk about the specific projects your company is doing?"

"What I founded is an innovative blood testing company." Elizabeth Holmes should be in urgent need of the injection of foreign funds, and she said very carefully. "Traditional blood testing has many loopholes and shortcomings. For example, it needs When doing a blood test, the nurse always draws a large tube of red liquid from the patient’s arm. Some patients with poor health may not be able to withstand such repeated blood draws. If you encounter a person with fainting blood, it will be even more terrible. In addition to people’s physical and psychological discomfort, traditional blood testing has a more serious problem, that is, manual testing will cause errors in blood data, so it is often impossible to fully test the virus in the blood."

Seeing Murphy listening very carefully, she said more vigorously, "According to my assumption, when testing blood, you only need to gently use the tip of a needle on your finger to take out a drop of blood as a sample. Don't underestimate this drop of blood. Through the equipment that my company is developing, hundreds of indicators in the blood can be tested."

Elizabeth Holmes laughed, "In this way, people who are fainted will not worry about blood, people who suffer from chronic diseases, etc., will not worry about people who need regular blood tests, and more importantly, with the help of machines. , The accuracy of blood testing has also improved."

Although there is no comparison, Murphy can see that this young girl, like Gal Gadot, looks so'different' among her peers.

As if to make her words more convincing, Elizabeth Holmes continued, "Murphy, you must have an understanding of the terrible medical system in the United States. A blood test that is so convenient, cheap and accurate. How can the service not be welcomed by the government and the masses?"

"Sounds pretty good." Murphy nodded.

If Elizabeth Holmes' research is successful and patents are obtained, this service will definitely make her company a dazzling star.

The question is, can she succeed?

This is not Hollywood and the film industry. Murphy doesn't understand it at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a layman. You must be cautious to invest in projects you don't understand.

And the female version of Uncle Joe's feeling brought by Elizabeth Holmes always makes Murphy feel that something seems to be wrong.

From Murphy's face, Elizabeth Holmes faintly saw the heartbeat, and said, "My goal is to raise 100 million US dollars for research and development, and then at the appropriate moment, the company will be publicly listed."

Murphy nodded again, as if completely moved by Elizabeth Holmes.

Gal Gadot stretched out a hand without a trace, and gently twisted Murphy's back waist, wanting to remind his boyfriend not to listen to this so-called empty talk about listing and financing.

"A lot of people have expressed their investment intentions." Elizabeth Holmes is trying to win Murphy as much as possible. "If you invest 10 million US dollars now, you can definitely turn into company shares worth 400 million US dollars in the future."

In turn, Murphy gently squeezed Gal Gadot's hand, and Gael Gadot immediately relaxed, knowing that her boyfriend had a priority.

"Well, Liz." Murphy didn't completely block the road, and said, "Mail your company and research project information to Stanton Studio. If it is really as promising as you said , I will definitely invest."

"That's good." Elizabeth Holmes was pleased. "I'll get someone to do it as soon as possible."

She is looking for investment everywhere, and of course she will not let go of any possible opportunities.

Murphy laughed, "I'm waiting for your good news."

Elizabeth Holmes talked a few more words with Murphy before leaving the lounge.

"Are you really interested?" Gal Gadot looked at Murphy, and Murphy shook his head. "I just want to see what kind of company this is."

He doesn't understand investment matters, but he knows some very simple truths. The more prolific projects the future is depicted, the more serious and unknown problems often exist.

Like Hollywood movie projects, investment in business circles may not be different.

Soon after Elizabeth Holmes left, John knocked on the door again and walked in, said a few words to Murphy, and after earning his consent, went out and brought in a dozen men and women.

These people all have the same identity, avid film lovers and members of the film club where Gal Gadot belongs.

"Murphy, this is Mawson, this is Minna..." Gal Gadot introduced Murphy one by one, "This is Chris, this is Alston..."

In any case, these are Gal Gadot's classmates in the club, and compared to Hollywood, these students in the ivory tower are too simple and cute.

After a simple conversation, Murphy also discovered that they found themselves through Gal Gadot. The purpose is actually quite simple, and there is no complicated mind. It is just out of a love of filmmaking and wants to know some Hollywood and this. The current state of the industry, and how to truly enter Hollywood.

It can be said that these people's love for filmmaking is pure, more out of hobby.

In the face of these relatively simple people, Murphy also put away those complicated thoughts. On the basis of facts, when talking about Hollywood movies and the industry, he added a little bit of modification appropriately to avoid hitting the love of these people.

"Those great filmmakers are born highly sensitive to film art. We can only sigh for this kind of talent, just to continuously improve our skills and enrich our resumes in the process of filmmaking again and again. But even if Is today’s greatest and most legendary filmmakers like David Fincher, Quentin Tarantino or Wes Anderson, who also achieved today’s achievements by standing on the shoulders of giants ."

After hearing this passage from Murphy, John asked the first question, "What do you think is most important to making a movie?"
