    "Mr. Stanton, I hope you''ll do what you promised me in the shooting."

    In an office of the Hollywood actors union, the Mulligans sat on a slightly old sofa, closed their contracts, looked at Murphy opposite, and with a warning, said, "my agent will always stare at you."

    Next to Mr. and Mrs. Mulligan, Kerry Mulligan said nothing and looked into Murphy''s eyes with the pride of the winner.

    "Don''t worry." Murphy vowed, "although Stanton studio has just been established, it is a company with outstanding reputation. I also regard integrity as the most basic principle."

    In the previous two meetings, the Mulligans had a lot of opinions on the script of hard candy, and Murphy agreed to make changes. They even produced an improved version of the script as soon as possible. In addition, Kara Firth, the news director of channel 6, was willing to endorse the project. The Mulligans finally nodded.

    Fame and status can''t be seen, but they can play a real role. Without Carla Firth''s help, Murphy might have to choose the heroine again.

    The signing of contracts involving minor actors has never been a joke. Besides Murphy, Kerry Mulligan and her parents, there are Robert, the legal adviser of fruit candy, Bill Rossi, the new Kerry Mulligan''s agent, and Julian Ferrero, the representative of children''s Association and actors union And so on.

    Review the contract, haggle, and see again some controversial terms More than two hours later, the two sides officially signed Kerry Mulligan''s actor contract.

    Because it involves minors, or members of the actors'' Union, plus the supervision of the children''s Association, this contract is quite strict. It makes specific provisions from Kerry Mulligan''s daily working hours to the employment of tutors. Under Hollywood''s relatively sound and strict guarantee system, Kerry Mulligan''s rights in the crew can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

    Although there is a toothache in looking at these terms, Murphy knows that he is participating in a legal game. If he wants to survive in this game circle, he must at least abide by the rules of the game in public.

    In addition, any minor actor is bound to sign this kind of relatively strict contract.

    However, there is also something that makes him feel more satisfied. Kerry Mulligan has never appeared in any film and television works before, so it is impossible to ask for a high price. Her film salary is only 5000 US dollars.

    As for the working time and study time stipulated in the contract, people from the children''s Association and the actors'' Union will not keep an eye on the crew all the time. At most, they will send someone to come and have a look occasionally. There is room for buffer.

    There is also the content of the script that Murphy promised to modify. Originally, what he showed to the Mulligan couple was the first draft. The content in it was quite large. It was impossible to say that it would become NC-17 when it was shot. He certainly couldn''t do it that way.

    Although we still don''t know how Kerry Mulligan made his parents compromise, the other side was willing to talk with him at that time, which undoubtedly meant cooperation. Murphy threw a larger script first, and then stepped back, which also showed the sincerity of the crew.

    This is also a psychological tactic often used in negotiation.

    Moreover, after signing the contract, the Mulligans will go back to London to do their own work, and Kerry Mulligan will be taken care of by Julian firos and bill rosis. They are also very difficult to deal with. However, compared with the old-fashioned Mulligans, these Hollywood insiders have a broader understanding of the scale of the film.

    More importantly, Kerry Mulligan regarded him as a trustworthy person. As long as she didn''t make trouble, there would be less trouble.

    The two sides signed a formal contract and put it on record in the actors'' Union and the children''s association respectively. The heroine of "fruit hard candy" was really determined.

    "Murphy..."

    Outside the actors'' Union, he came to his car. As soon as Murphy was about to open the door, he heard a clear voice coming from behind. He turned to see Kerry Mulligan trotting along and waving to him as he ran. "Wait a minute, I have something to say to you."

    Turning around, Murphy''s eyes passed behind her. The Mulligans were looking at her. He gave a polite smile and turned to Kerry Mulligan. He asked, "what''s the matter?"

    Kerry Mulligan stopped five feet away, lifted his little hands on his back, shook his body, and said in a low voice, "I''m here to thank you."

    "Thank you?" Murphy pointed to herself as if she didn''t understand her. "Why?"

    "You gave me a thorough view of the goal." Kerry - Mulligan''s voice is still very low, but extremely firm, "also let me understand what I want must strive for the truth."

    "No, no, no, Kerry, it''s none of my business." Murphy is very clear how to deal with this girl, "now everything, can only show that you are a good girl with pursuit."

    "Really?" Kerry Mulligan asked, flashing his eyes.Murphy nodded without hesitation. "Of course it''s true. When did I cheat you?"

    Kerry Mulligan took a little step forward, and his voice became lower. "You''re the best, Murphy."

    Hearing this, Murphy raised her eyes slightly and looked up. It seemed that a crow was crowing on it, but then he laughed. "You''re the best too, Kerry. I''m sure you''ll be the best actor."

    "Well!" Kerry Mulligan was not modest. He pressed his chin a little.

    "It''s getting late..." Murphy motioned to the Mulligans, "your parents should wait."

    "They..." Kerry Mulligan snorted a few times before saying, "if I hadn''t forced them to have no choice, would they have given me the freedom to choose?"

    Even if she achieved her wish, her resentment towards her parents did not dissipate.

    Murphy, somewhat curious, lowered her voice, "honey, what did you do?"

    "Guess..." Kerry Mulligan gave a sly smile. "It''s my secret. I won''t tell you."

    "Well All right Murphy made a phone gesture, "wait for my call, and! Don''t forget to read the script. "

    Seeing Kerry Mulligan leave, Murphy is still a little curious. What did she do to make the Mulligan couple compromise?

    However, after getting on the bus, he generally understood that from the previous contact, he could see that the Mulligan couple actually loved Kerry Mulligan. However, due to their rigid character and busy work, they were doomed not to be a pair of parents who were good at communication, a girl who was about to become an adult. In fact, there were too many ways for them to compromise with their loving parents.

    Does it matter what Kerry Mulligan did? Anyway, she has become the heroine of hard candy.

    Maybe she''s not the best choice in Hollywood, but now of all the actresses Murphy can reach, Kerry Mulligan is the most suitable one.

    After finishing Kerry Mulligan, Murphy went back to Milton cafe and continued to work on his own preparations. He went to San Fernando Valley again with the set master, lighting master and props master, and also exchanged a lot of opinions with them on the proposed scene.

    Frankly speaking, the progress of the preparation is far from what Murphy expected. He doesn''t have much experience, and the people he employs are always at the bottom of Hollywood. It''s not entirely because of opportunities that his ability is really not very good.

    Fortunately, Murphy is also prepared for this. Everything is difficult at the beginning. He knows very well that a group of people who do not have enough experience and ability can not complete a film project in a short time, even if the film has only one scene and two actors most of the time.

    After returning from the San Fernando Valley, Murphy asked James Franco to meet him.

    "Look at this." In Milton cafe, Murphy puts a pile of copies of the contract on the coffee table and pushes them to James Franco on the opposite side

    "I can''t sign any contracts without an agent present." James Franco thought that the contract was specially prepared for him. He took it up and looked at several pages. His eyes lit up immediately. Especially after seeing the photos of Kerry Mulligan in it, his eyes seemed to explode, "Oh Oh Ah That This... "

    He took a deep breath on the table and said, "don''t you mean it?"

    James Franco is not stupid either. Although Murphy said that Kerry Mulligan had joined the crew before, he had been dragging the negotiation between the two sides and did not fully believe what he said.

    Murphy looked at him. "Do you want me to take out the original contract and get Mr. Julian Ferris, Kerry''s parents'' agent in Los Angeles?"

    Seeing James Franco open his contract again, staring at the picture of Kerry Mulligan dressed like little red riding hood, Murphy said faintly, "if you feel reluctant, I can find other actors."

    "No! Don''t... " James Franco raised his hand, as if trying to stop Murphy in this way, "don''t! Murphy, I''m very, very interested in the characters in the script, but your pay is too low. My agent is particularly opposed to it. I''ve been persuading him, and it takes time. "

    James Franco, who used to be known by Murphy through the media, is famous for his weirdness. Now it seems that he is even weirder than what the media reported.

    "Jim, I''m very short of time. I''ve already made preparations for everything else. Before shooting, I''ll set aside time for the leading actor and heroine to rehearse alone..." He intentionally or unintentionally accentuated the pronunciation of "alone." there are only two main actors in this project. You must spend more time rehearsing alone. "

    James Franco seemed determined and slapped the table hard. "I''m going to talk to my agent now."
