Through the thick iron fence door, Murphy enters the interview room of California state prison. Under the guidance of a prison guard, he comes to the window which is divided into two worlds by the iron net, opens his chair and sits on it, waiting for the person to come.

It''s probably due to working days. There are not many visitors here. Murphy turns around and looks like there are only four or five. It''s not as good as the number of prison guards standing here on duty.

Not far from his left hand, two prison guards have been looking at him. From time to time, they will murmur that they should recognize him.

At the beginning, he and rose were also well-known figures in this prison.

Murphy sighed when the name rose appeared in his mind. Since rose proposed the investment, although the connection between them has not been completely broken, their relationship can no longer return to the state of prison.

They are all on their own way.

The sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, and gradually from far to near, a man in orange prison clothes came slowly to this side.

Murphy looked in the twinkling of an eye, and there was no change in the other''s appearance, even in prison clothes.

This is a middle-aged man between 30 and 40 years old. Although his dark hair has only a short stubble, he can''t hide his unique uninhibited temperament. In his eyes under his forehead, he is also full of melancholy.

He should have seen Murphy. He could not help but quicken his pace and came here in a few steps.

"You''re so bad. You''ve been out of prison for almost a year before you thought of coming to see me?" His first export is to complain, speak very fast, "I said right? You''re not a good person. "

He opened the opposite chair and sat down. Murphy looked at him through the window and said sarcastically, "good people will know you in prison?"

"I''m a good man!" He pointed to his chest, then to Murphy. "You''re a jerk!"

Murphy is too lazy to tangle. When it comes to bickering, the three of them are not opponents of this guy.

He took out a packet of cigarettes and threw it through the window. The man reached for it and just smelled it and threw it back. "I quit."

"Quit?" Murphy''s face was incredible. "Donny, it''s not like you."

The person opposite said seriously, "I''ve given up all the things related to smoking!"

Murphy raised his eyebrows and didn''t believe him. If Robert Downey Jr. could give up all the smoking related things, there would be a nuclear war outside.

"Really." Robert Downey Jr. doesn''t seem to be lying. "I''m getting out of jail. I can''t let drugs ruin me completely."

"Quit!" Murphy nodded and chose to believe this guy. "I believe that the talented little Robert Downey will come back."

Robert Downey, Jr. laughs. He looks like a fart.

Murphy threw the cigarette to the left-hand C.O. and asked, "how have you been these months? Have the Hortons ever bothered you again? "

"No, you scared them." Little Robert Donnie pulled up his stool and leaned over to this side. "I''m not a rookie who just came in. I''m also an old man here. Besides, you and rose are still famous. No one dares to attack me easily."

He gave a stretch. "I''ll wait to get out of prison now and go back to my fancy world."

"Taking drugs again..." Murphy mercilessly sneer, "and then get caught?"

Robert Downey, Jr. stares. "I''m going to quit, and I''m trying! Can you stop hitting me? "

Murphy opened his hand and shrugged again.

"Where are you better than me?" Robert Downey, Jr. lowered his voice. "How many headless cases did you do in this prison during your year here? You''re not just a jerk, you''re a devil

Murphy looked at him, but did not speak.

Robert Downey, Jr. took two deep breaths, regained his composure, shook his head and sighed, "I know there are times in it to protect me, if it''s not for you..."

He suddenly sighed. It would be terrible without Murphy''s help.

In this prison, many people are still very interested in making a movie star.

"I didn''t come here to fight with you." Murphy put his left hand on the armrest of the chair, tilted his head and said, "do you really want to see if you''re off drugs? Don''t forget what I said. I''m waiting for you. "

"Waiting for me?" Little Robert Downey pinched his face suspiciously. "What are you waiting for me to do? By the way, Murphy, what do you do after you get out of prison? Don''t you really follow rose? "

Murphy shook his head. "It seems you have forgotten that I''m not with rose. I''m in Hollywood now..."

"What? Hollywood? " Little Robert Downey''s eyes almost fell to the ground in surprise. "Did you really go to Hollywood? Do what? Extras? Or a crew helper? ""Director!" Murphy light said, "I told you, I want to be a director."

Robert Downey, Jr. was wide eyed. "Are you a director? Don''t be kidding... "

Murphy didn''t argue. "You''ll know when you come out, or when old Robert comes to visit, you can ask him."

"Can''t it be true?" Listen to what he said, Robert Downey, Jr. believes that Murphy he knows is a person who doesn''t like to joke, and doesn''t know how to joke. "My parole application is approved, and I''ll go out in a few months, and then I''ll know if what you said is true or false."

"Is the date fixed?" Murphy asked. Robert Downey, Jr. said the time. He nodded. "I''ll pick you up then."

As visiting time approached, Murphy frowned and whispered, "Donny, keep a low profile and don''t make trouble recently."

"I know." Robert Downey Jr. stands up.

In fact, from the beginning of meeting Robert Downey Jr., Murphy thought that it was not a simple thing for him to be sentenced to prison for possession of drugs. There may be more complicated factors behind it.

In Hollywood, it''s not news at all for celebrities to take drugs. As for drug carrying, it''s absolutely not rare. But few of them were caught by the police in the end. It''s just that little Robert Downey was jailed for drugs more than once, which can''t be explained by coincidence.

Maybe young Robert Downey was arrogant and ignorant, and offended too many people.

After leaving the state prison, Murphy drove onto the highway leading to Los Angeles. Robert Downey Jr. can be said to be the best lesson. People can''t be carried away by success. Only when they are sober enough can they have a chance to move to a higher position.

It''s not without a reason that he visited Robert Downey Jr. at the time of the great success of the chainsaw.

Of course, Robert Downey Jr. is about to get out of prison, which is another major reason.

If you want to make a classic film, the director is the key, and excellent actors are also essential.

Now it''s inevitable that the movie will sell well, and Murphy''s next plan also appears in his mind. However, it''s mid August now, and everything will have to wait until 9 / 11 and its impact are over.

Count the time. That''s when Robert Downey Jr. got out of jail.

Robert Downey Jr. is full of negative news these years, so he is not suitable to be the first protagonist, and he will not have too many demands.

Think about the former Downey, who was jailed again soon after he was released from prison. He is a god loathing in Hollywood. If Mel Gibson didn''t pull him, there might not be a super-a star behind him.

It is undeniable that Murphy liked little Robert Downey when he was on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, otherwise he would not have helped him in prison.

Murphy has been thinking all the way, in addition to Robert Downey Jr., there are also heroine candidates. Although the next film is still black style, the first protagonist is a woman.

And if the film wants to have enough appeal, the heroine must have enough appeal, or can cause a huge topic.

This kind of actress is often paid a lot in Hollywood, star actor is not the best choice.

When the car entered Los Angeles, Murphy suddenly thought of the superstar he met when shooting "fruit candy". Maybe this is a good choice?

After leaving the highway, the traffic volume suddenly increased. Murphy threw away these ideas and focused on driving. The next project is far away, and there is plenty of time to consider.

Back in Los Angeles, Murphy and Kerry Mulligan went to order a new dress for the Fox Searchlight party at the end of the month.

In addition, he is still keeping a close eye on the North American box office development of the movie.

Because of the audience, the cinema life of horror films is often very short, and there are relatively few horror films that last more than 10 weeks. However, the movie "electric saw" is a typical American horror film. After several weeks of screening, the attendance rate has dropped sharply, and the number of single audience in many weekend shows has appeared a single digit situation, and the number of cinemas has gradually dropped to several hundred.

By the end of August, there were less than 300 theaters in North America showing the movie, and the daily output was better than nothing.

Murphy judged that in less than 10 weeks, the horror film would be taken off the North American cinema.

However, it doesn''t matter, because that special period is coming soon. For a long time in the future, this kind of cruel and bloody film will be ignored.

In addition, three days before Fox Searchlight held the celebration party at the end of August, the North American box office of "chainsaw thriller" successfully crossed the $60 million mark and slowly approached $61 million.

Murphy is satisfied with all these. After all, the audience of the movie is limited. It''s not a mainstream commercial movie, nor is it a youth horror movie like scream. It''s just a dream to make the box office in North America exceed 100 million.

Meanwhile, Fox Searchlight is excited about this much higher than expected achievement. In particular, a celebration party was held at the four seasons hotel in Beverly Hills, and some of fox''s media reporters rushed to the party.
