Hollywood Road

Chapter 768: Epilogue

"The winner of the 87th Oscar for Best Director is..."

In the Dolby Theater, countless people watched Daniel Day-Lewis standing on the stage. This individual actor revealed the answer amidst the high expectations, "Murphy Stanton, "Spotlight"!"

The applause sounded instantly, and the guests in the front row stood up at the same time, and looked at the place where the "Focus" crew was located one after another. After Murphy and Gal Gadot hugged vigorously, under the envious eyes of everyone, they walked onto the collar. podium.

This is the moment that belongs to the "Focus" crew, and even more so, his moment!

A female narration sounded in the theater, "This is the second time in a row that Murphy Stanton has won the Oscar for Best Director, and it is also the third time he has won the Best Director award!"

As the narration sounded, the applause became more enthusiastic!

Among the directors who are still shooting movies in Hollywood, Murphy is already the person who has won the most number of best directors, and he is also the one who has won the Oscar for best director in addition to John Ford (won Oscar for best director four times) in Oscar history. The most popular director!

But John Ford won all the awards during World War II in the 1940s. That special period cast this special history in just a few years.

Everyone in the Dolby Theater knew how difficult it was for Murphy to win three Oscars for Best Director at the age of thirty-five.

However, after all this happened, they took it for granted.

Many of them also thought it odd, given Murphy's films and the times, that he didn't win.

Below the stage, Gal Gadot was applauding vigorously, sincerely happy for her beloved, this is the glory of her fiancé, and also her glory!

It won't be long before they will walk into the palace of marriage together!

"We will go on hand in hand forever..." She looked at Murphy who took over the best director statuette, "until the moment of death!"

Gal Gadot is sure of this. For more than a decade, she knows Murphy as much as Murphy knows her.

Outsiders can only see Murphy's brilliant side, but they don't know how much he paid for it, and even almost died!

Even now, as long as he thinks about what happened more than two months ago, Gal Gadot's hands tremble with fear, but after shaking, he still can't laugh or cry.

At that time, Murphy's disappearance shocked the whole United States in just a few hours. She used almost all the connections and strengths that could be moved, and scattered a lot of money crazily. In just two days, she found the gangster hiding Murphy's place.

Thinking of the scene at that time, the corners of Gal Gadot's mouth would twitch unconsciously...

When dozens of aT team members and federal agents rushed into the abandoned factory where Murphy was being held, they only saw an incredible scene.

Murphy and the female gangster who kidnapped her sat on the floor together, discussing seriously how to destroy America and cause social chaos. People who didn't know saw it and thought they met two sociopaths...

It didn't take much effort for the police and the FBI to rescue Murphy, but what made her feel scared was that the woman was not only a fan of Murphy, but also the real murderer who caused the shooting at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood and the murder in the park. The original purpose of kidnapping Murphy was to torture him to death, using the brutal methods in "Chain Saw".

As for how Murphy moved the other party, she couldn't understand it at all. In the end, it could only be attributed to the fact that normal people couldn't understand the thoughts of lunatics.

The question is, why does Murphy know this? Gal Gadot thought about it seriously and came to a horrible conclusion...

Then, she quickly stopped herself from thinking about it, Murphy was just a little special, otherwise would he have achieved what he is now?

Later, Gal Gadot tentatively asked Murphy what she thought at the time, and Murphy's answer made her decide never to mention this matter again.

"Everything I said to Daisy was serious, and I discussed with her seriously how to destroy America.

That's what Murphy said at the time, "If there is a chance, I would be happy to see the end of America, and I am willing to destroy this sinful country with my own hands!" "

Since then, although Gal Gadot has stopped mentioning this matter, sometimes he can't help but wonder whether Murphy was infected by that anti-social lunatic?

Luckily, Murphy is normal and hasn't done anything crazy, and as things have come to light, he's earned praise from the media for his poise, wit and coolness...

These praises have also become part of the weight for him to stand on the Oscar podium now.

"Thank you! I just want to say thank you at this moment!"

On the stage, Murphy stood in front of the microphone and said loudly, "Thank you to all the friends who have accompanied me to the present! Your support is my motivation! We have gone through a period of extraordinary days together, and there are twists and turns. It was difficult and there were some unsatisfactory places, but we all persevered and persisted until now! Now, I just want to say, thank you for your company! You are the most amazing!"

"Thank you!" Murphy looked into the distance, as if there were some invisible existences there, and then he bowed deeply, "Thank you for your support!"

The applause sounded like thunder again, and everyone looked at the place where the "Focus" crew was. They seemed to be moved by the profound friendship among Stanton's party members.

Gal Gadot was a little strange. She could vaguely guess that Murphy was not thanking herself, nor Robert Downey Jr....

Who is he thanking? She couldn't figure it out.

Murphy finished his acceptance speech and came to the side of the stage. Then Steven Spielberg came on stage as the best picture award presenter. There was no surprise for the winner of the best picture. "Focus" successfully won this year's awards The last statuette of the Oscars.

Counting the previous Best Cinematography and Best Editing, "Spotlight" won four Oscar statuettes at the 87th Academy Awards Ceremony.

This is basically in line with the previous expectations of the outside world.

Murphy also knows that on the premise that he won the Oscar for Best Director consecutively, it is impossible for "Focus" to win all the Oscars like last year.

Subsequently, the Oscars ceremony once again attracted a lot of criticism, and more and more people thought that the Oscars were becoming more and more boring.

Before and after this year's award ceremony, critics and senior movie fans' attacks on Oscars almost reached a peak. For example, directors tend to be more "ascetic" than "naughty boy". However, Linklater’s 12-year experience of being unknown in the independent film industry is enough to show his face at the Oscars as a “newcomer”; if actors “sacrifice” for art regardless of their image, Eddie Redmayne played Lou Gehrig’s Stephen Hawking won the best actor award, and Julianne Moore won the best actress for her role in a patient with Alzheimer's disease...

Someone even listed the five unspoken rules and the seven laws of the Oscars, proving how easy to understand the tastes of these judges. Even the "New York Times" jumped out: "Country clubs are more diverse than Oscars."

However, these are not within the scope of Murphy's attention, and he has achieved his goal.

On the night of the Oscar awards ceremony, he and Gal Gadot didn't even attend the "Oscar Night" dinner in "Vanity Fair", and rushed to Los Angeles International Airport to take the "Gadot" to Hawaii.

The two will spend half a day on the Hawaiian island of Lanai before heading to Japan.

At present, a professional company is preparing for the wedding of Murphy and Gal Gadot on the island. Although Grace is watching, the two of them don't need to bother too much, but they still have to come and have a look.

This is a private island, the owner is Larry Ellison, and Murphy borrowed the island from David Ellison, so as to avoid the harassment of media reporters as much as possible.

After a brief look on the island, the two of Murphy flew to Tokyo, Japan. The previous negotiations with Sony Entertainment and Sony Group had ended, and the two parties were only short of signing the final contract.

Due to the insistence of the Sony Group, the place where the two parties signed the contract was placed in Tokyo. On behalf of Stanton Studios, Murphy and the Sony Group formally signed an agreement to acquire Columbia Pictures with full ownership. From then on, Sony Columbia Pictures will be renamed Stanton Columbia. film company.

Although the funds for the acquisition basically depended on financing, Stanton Studios still got a 51% stake in Stanton's Columbia Pictures.

Winning Columbia Pictures also means that Murphy and 20th Century Fox officially broke up. Although the two parties will continue to cooperate, they have also become competitors.

So, Murphy invited Kara Firth to serve as the first CEO of Stanton Columbia Pictures!

After returning to North America, he took advantage of the time before the wedding, and with the assistance of Robert Downey Jr., he settled the negotiations with Marvel Pictures. Little Spider will return to the Avengers family and participate in " Captain America 3", and will also participate in Infinity War...

Plus, Iron Man will be appearing in the new Spider-Man movie to help out!

Stanton Columbia Pictures was brought back to normal bit by bit by Murphy...

…………

Two years passed in a flash. On a sunny morning, in the ward of the California Medical School, Murphy held a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, and helped Gal Gadot to the door.

Murphy stopped suddenly, carefully handed the child to Gal Gadot, and said to many friends waiting at the door of the ward, "Wait a minute, I have a tweet."

He smiled at his wife, took out his mobile phone, and sent a half-length photo of himself, Gadot and the child.

Then, add the text below: "Helen, my princess, she is here. From today, we are three people, thank you for all the miracles that appeared in my life..."
