It''s not easy to make a movie. Murphy knows that he should be well prepared, especially in terms of money.

    So, Murphy appeared in the club with Leon Roth on time the next day. Because of the basic agreement, there was not much nonsense between the two sides.

    Leon Ross paid Murphy $100000 on behalf of Kobe Bryant; Murphy handed over all information related to the photos and signed a confidentiality agreement.

    It''s not a big deal that such deals happen between journalists and stars.

    Murphy was in a good mood when he got $100000. When he left, he shook hands with Leon rose. "Please convey my respect to Mr. Bryant. If I have the chance, I will go to the scene to watch him play."

    Leon - rose is not polite back, "I hope you never have such a chance."

    With that, he walked out of the room with CAA''s lawyer without looking back, without any interest in continuing to deal with Murphy.

    Murphy looked at his back, shrugged, and then left. Despite Leon Rose''s anger, he didn''t pay much attention to it. Yesterday, he asked Carla Firth to find someone to know about it. Basketball department is relatively unimportant in CAA, and the most important thing in the field of sports brokerage is American football.

    It''s not surprising that in North America, American football is the largest sport, far more influential than NBA and other tournament leagues, and CAA''s main business is still in North America.

    However, Murphy will not ignore the huge influence of CAA. Now he is just a small figure. In the eyes of CAA giants, he is no different from the paparazzi everywhere in Los Angeles. No one will care too much. If he can enter Hollywood and has a certain reputation, the influence of this matter will really appear.

    But Murphy doesn''t regret doing this at all. If she wants to accumulate the original capital of development as soon as possible, how can she do it without some unconventional means?

    At least he didn''t break the law.

    "Since coming to the world, every pore of capital is dirty and bloody."

    With this idea in mind, Murphy left the club, drove to channel 6, and continued to participate in the production of the documentary. Similar to the previous situation, he was more like a student in the production process, greedily absorbing all the post production technology and experience.

    This is the Los Angeles area where Hollywood is located, and the most advanced film technology in the world. Even if the people who make documentaries are basically from such a humble TV station as channel 6, the rigor and philosophy of post production also amazes Murphy, a rookie.

    Indeed, he has a lot more insight than ordinary people. He once studied the latest film technology and knowledge in the film academy on the other side. However, learning and practice are two different fields. Learning well may not be able to do well.

    Murphy settled down and put his other thoughts into the Pacific Ocean for a while. Later, he stayed in the post production room of channel 6, followed Griffith and other experienced people, and constantly asked all kinds of questions.

    This documentary is not very difficult to make. Murphy is very clear that there will be many more problems when he makes his own film.

    The documentary just clips together a lot of video materials originally shot, and it doesn''t take long. Moreover, the black movement in Los Angeles can''t continue all the time. It must be launched as soon as possible, so that the documentary can bring certain influence.

    Half a month later, the speculation in Los Angeles about the white police shooting black criminals who could not resist and the black protest activities gradually subsided. The Los Angeles County Police Department and the city hall had just calmed down. Channel 6 broadcast the documentary "city of sin" in prime time!

    It''s not difficult to find out what the theme of the documentary is from the title. This 55 minute documentary can be regarded as a collection of criminal activities in Los Angeles. Traffic accidents, homicide, drug trade and armed robbery emerge in an endless stream, reflecting that the criminal activities in Los Angeles are no longer limited to one place, but spread to every corner. It also deliberately uses obscure methods to point out a few Conflicts between ethnic minorities and whites caused by social injustice.

    Among them, the bill road case and the Beverly Hills police bandit gunfight shot by Murphy are the climax of the whole documentary. Although the picture is not particularly clear due to the relationship between the photographic equipment used at that time, this part of the real bloody gunfight is almost completely broadcast, which has caused great repercussions.

    In particular, the last black criminal was shot to death by the white police without any resistance ability, which can not be described as shocking.

    Because of too many scruples, many sensitive or bloody scenes are coded, but the scale of documentary is larger

    There is no doubt that this documentary has attracted wide attention, and channel 6 has become the most popular local TV station in Los Angeles.

    Because of the theme of the documentary and the full broadcast of Murphy''s video, the black movement just subsided broke out again. In front of the Los Angeles City Hall and the county police department, a large number of protesting crowds gathered again, which also provided more materials for the media to report.Channel 6 is also working with a video distributor to launch the documentary''s discs and videos.

    Although a large number of videos shot by Murphy are used and channel 6 pays a certain copyright fee, Murphy can not get much benefit, but he is also satisfied. After all, he participated in the production of the whole documentary, learned a lot from it and accumulated some experience.

    More importantly, he has drawn closer to Griffith. If you encounter editing problems in the future, you can also ask him for advice.

    Although he is only one of many unknown editors in Los Angeles, he is much better than a novice with little practical experience.

    "Congratulations..."

    In an Italian restaurant, Murphy sits in a seat by the window and raises a glass to Carla Firth opposite. "Congratulations on your promotion."

    Carla Firth, dressed in a casual dress with curly blonde hair neatly behind her head, raised her glass and touched Murphy. Before drinking, she said with a smile, "thank you!"

    They drank it all in one gulp.

    Murphy picked up a knife and fork, cutting the steak on the plate, and asked, "how does the channel 6 news director feel?"

    In the past, Carla Firth was the head of news programs at night and early in the morning. After her promotion, she was in charge of all the news on Channel 6.

    Carla Firth pinned the scattered golden hair behind her ears, flattened her mouth, and said with emotion, "it''s nice not to have to work at night!"

    Fork up a small piece of steak and chew it in your mouth. Murphy suddenly looks at Kara Firth strangely.

    "What''s the matter?" Carla Firth thought she was stained with something dirty and touched her face, so she was ready to take out the little make-up mirror in her handbag. "What''s on my face?"

    "No Murphy shook her head gently. "I''m just surprised you didn''t have makeup today."

    Carla Firth, whom he had seen in the past, though not in heavy makeup, always painted exquisite professional makeup. Today, it is obviously different. She only has very light makeup on her face.

    "It''s ugly without makeup?" Carla Firth said with self mockery.

    "Of course not." Murphy looked at her admiringly, "you look more fresh and natural, not as aggressive as when you are wearing professional makeup."

    "Is it?" Carla Firth picked up her knife and fork. "Don''t forget, I''m a woman. How can I work if I don''t look stronger?"

    Gender differences in the workplace can never be ignored.

    Murphy nodded and laughed. "You can see me like this. Does that mean we''re more than just working?"

    Carla Firth raised her eyebrows. "What do you think we have to do with each other?"

    "I thought we were friends." Murphy said faintly.

    "Friends?" Carla Firth curved her mouth, looking playful and sarcastic. "Do you have a friend like you? Every time I bargain, I''m always forced to... "

    Murphy opened his hand. "Honey, work is work, personal relationship is personal relationship."

    Unlike rose, whom he met in prison, Murphy can''t describe the relationship with Kara Firth. They got to know each other because of their work and similar ideas. Especially after he gave up his job as a free journalist and stopped providing news videos to channel 6, Murphy got closer to Kara Firth.

    In fact, he also understood that after the final interest involvement between the two ended, they would not have so many scruples when they got along.

    Frankly speaking, Murphy thinks that there is a sentence on the other side of the Pacific Ocean that can describe his friendship with Carla Firth very appropriately, that is, the same smell.

    The two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. Especially from the beginning of bill road case to now, the documentary has driven the audience rating of channel 6, and it will also send out happy laughter.

    In this kind of private occasions, whether Murphy or Carla Firth, they are very proud and unscrupulous. What they think is that they make huge profits from each other, rather than other illusory things such as news morality or social responsibility.

    When the meal came to an end, Carla Firth took a mouthful of water and wiped her mouth again. Suddenly, she changed the topic, "when will your plan start?"

    "As soon as possible." Murphy put down her napkin. "This documentary has taught me a lot..."

    He pointed to his head. "Here''s a clear plan."

    Carla Firth asked again, "where''s the money?"

    "Excluding fees paid to lawyers and others." Murphy thought, "there are more than 300000 dollars left."

    At this point, he frowned again. The money was too little for making a movie.

    "Here''s a piece of advice." "Don''t put all your money in," Carla Firth said in a never before serious tone. “
