In the conference room of the hotel, all the windows are covered by black curtains, and no light can be transmitted. On the broad wall at the front of the conference room, there is a small screen. Murphy sits behind the projector opposite the screen and controls the screening of "fruit candy" himself.

    In front of him, Bill rosis sat with Jones Butler and her three colleagues, watching the film attentively.

    In this commercial society, every transaction involving a large amount of money is relatively cautious, and Hollywood is no exception. Instead of rushing to make a move, Jones Butler brought several other professional viewers of Miramax to evaluate the film.

    Murphy specially rented this conference room. Fortunately, it''s during the film festival, and things like this often happen. Most hotels are prepared. As long as they pay enough, the venue and projection equipment are not a problem.

    When Haley hanged Jeff and left, Murphy didn''t continue to play the subtitles, turned off the projector, and Paul Wilson, who was sitting near the door, turned on the light for the first time, and the conference room returned to light.

    After packing the copies, Murphy goes to the window and opens the curtains. The sealed conference room reconnects with the outside world.

    "Jones..." Just as Bill rosis was about to speak, Jones Butler raised his hand and interrupted him. "Can we discuss it alone?"

    "No problem." Murphy went over and motioned to bill rosis, "let''s go out first."

    Whether they can impress each other or not, the most important thing is the film. As long as these people think that "fruit candy" has a certain market prospect, the two sides can enter the substantive negotiation stage. Otherwise, it is useless to say more.

    Miramax pictures is a commercial company, not a charity.

    Leaving the conference room, Murphy and the three were waiting in the corridor outside.

    "Jones Butler brought one of Miramax''s film watching groups here," bill rosis said. "It means that they are very interested in fruit candy, and we are likely to conclude the deal."

    As long as the deal is concluded, according to the brokerage contract between him and Murphy, he can also get a commission from it. The production cost of the film is 300000 US dollars. If Miramax''s offer is not lower than this figure, the Commission will be at least five figures.

    Hollywood''s top brokers can earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars a year, but they are at the top of the pyramid. Entertainment brokers like him, who make up the bottom of the pyramid, don''t even earn 100000 dollars a year. Five figures are also a lot of money.

    Of course, Murphy knows the motivation of bill rosis. In this world, such idealists as Paul Wilson are rare. If you want a fast mixing entertainment agent to work for you, you must let him see the benefits.

    Outside the conference room, Murphy''s three men formed a small circle to discuss possible preliminary negotiations.

    In the conference room, Jones Butler and three other people also formed a circle to exchange their views on the film.

    "It has a certain commercial value."

    The first one to speak was a man with short chestnut hair, "but the audience is narrow. Even in B-rated movies, it''s a minority type."

    His view was supported by another, "I think so, too. The most attractive thing about this film is that the underage girl kills a pedophile. It''s a good gimmick. In a certain audience group, it will attract a group of people. "

    "The film has a certain value."

    The man who finally opened his mouth helped his glasses. "I think the director''s handling is very good. The lens language, light and color are very comfortable for people to see, especially photography. Instead of using the popular hand-held photography of B-level films, the lens no longer shakes. From this point alone, it meets the demand of the current market."

    Closing his notebook, Jones Butler looked at the three. "So we''re in agreement."

    "One more thing." The eyeglasses man reminded, "Jones, Moore''s words are very reasonable. This film can only be a minority among the minority. You must lower the buyout price."

    "I know." Jones Butler nodded. "Don''t forget, I don''t have the right to make decisions if the price is high."

    When the Murphy three returned to the conference room, the long conference table that had been put on one side had been moved back to the middle. Jones Butler sat in a row on the left. He followed bill rosis and sat on the right side of the conference table.

    Jones Butler didn''t look at Bill rosis. Her eyes were almost all on Murphy. Maybe it was her subconscious neglect of little people. Until now, she found out that the other person''s age was so young.

    No more than 23 years old! She has formed her own judgment that even if such a young man has amazing talent, he will be extremely lack of social experience. In addition, she has learned that he can put all his wealth into the production of a film, which should be some idealism.

    Such people are not difficult to deal with Thinking of this, she looked at Bill rosis, who was an old fox.However, Jones Butler doesn''t pay much attention to bill rosis. He comes from CAA. Yes, he is one of the agents at the bottom of CAA.

    More importantly, Miramax, where she works, is a well-known independent film distributor in the industry. Facing these novice directors, producers and small film studios, she naturally has an absolute advantage.

    It''s her rule to get the best works at the lowest price.

    Jones Butler''s eyes turn back to Murphy''s body. Maybe Miramax can release his film publicly, and such idealists will be overjoyed?

    Murphy seems very quiet, and the negotiation status between the two sides is totally unequal. If his film wants to show its value and recover its investment, it needs distributors, but "fruit candy" is not a necessity for Miramax.

    He knows something about the company founded by the Weinstein brothers. It often searches the world for suitable low-cost independent films, packages them after buying them, shows them in theaters, or directly promotes the video market.

    Although she thinks that the production of hard candy is beyond her expectations, Murphy knows very well that throughout the Saint Denis Film Festival, films of this standard can be seen everywhere, and it''s probably not difficult to find a few.

    Murphy thinks most about how to fight for the best interests for himself under the strong position of Miramax.

    Looking at the people in the opposite row, Murphy knows that Jones Butler is in charge. He doesn''t despise him because he is black. Instead, he pays more attention to him. Everyone knows that the exclusion of people of color in the film industry is very serious, and the black people who can get out of the status are definitely not simple goods.
