Hollywood Road

?This overseas promotional trip, apart from the relatively cold reception by the media in France, every place the film crew went to was almost always the focus of local entertainment news. Countless movie fans also besieged the hotel where the film crew stayed, hoping to meet Xiao Robert - Downey and Jessica - Alba this pair of hero and heroine.

The big sales of "Deadpool" made these two people attract the attention of the media and the fans.

Although Murphy is also famous, he is a director after all, far less famous than Robert Downey Jr. and Jessica Alba, especially Robert Downey Jr., who was almost caught by drug abuse, drug possession and The acting career that was ruined by imprisonment has not only returned to the right track, but also rushed to a height that has never been reached before.

Compared with the popularity of Robert Downey Jr. and Jessica Alba among the media and movie fans, Murphy is more sought after by the circle.

Bill Rossis, who stayed in Los Angeles, has received director invitations from many film companies and preparatory projects since the box office hit in the first weekend of "Deadpool". Jobs will be filled.

Among them are some big production projects, such as Sony Columbia and MGM intending to replace a 007 actor, and are also looking for a suitable new director. And Twentieth Century Fox is preparing to start the "Die Hard" series again, and also wants to try to persuade him to take this sequel...

These are not suitable for making immediate decisions. Murphy neither refused nor agreed. Everything will be discussed after returning to Los Angeles.

Murphy and his party left North America and flew to Southeast Asia and Australia. "Deadpool" continued to wreak havoc on the global market. By the end of April, the number of overseas screening countries and regions had increased to 58. In the latest past week, another $75.28 million was swept away from around the world.

In North America, the summer season has finally arrived, and "Deadpool"'s three consecutive dominance at the North American box office has also been ended by new releases.

On the first weekend of the summer file and the fourth weekend of "Deadpool", "Mean Girls", released by Paramount and starring the popular youth idol Lindsay Lohan, had a weekend box office of 24.4 million US dollars. It took away the new North American box office champion.

However, since "Mean Girls" is a typical girl and teen movie, and there is a clear difference between the audience of "Deadpool", Murphy's film has not been hit hard, let alone a diving drop. The rate of decline was still steadily controlled within 50%, and it earned 14.88 million US dollars, ranking second on the box office list.

Counting the box office of more than 8 million US dollars on weekdays, "Deadpool" took away a super huge sum of 254 million US dollars from North American theaters in four weeks.

By the time Murphy arrived in Australia, Deadpool had already grossed nearly $430 million worldwide.

With a production cost of 60 million U.S. dollars, in exchange for such a huge box office figure, plus more than 80 million U.S. dollars won by various peripherals and authorizations, 20th Century Fox has already won 500 million U.S. dollars for just this one film. revenue.

"I said so, Harry!"

In an office in the Fox Building, Kara Firth said, "Just give Murphy a chance, and he will give us a miracle!"

"Yes, miracle!"

Harry Allens, CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, "This is an amazing miracle!"

Kara Firth laughed,

Asked, "Did you ask me to come over?"

"Well," Harry Irons nodded, and confessed seriously, "I heard that many companies are looking for Bill Rossis to talk to, and it is said that Murphy Stanton has other projects in his hands. Hopefully he can continue working with 20th Century Fox."

He looked at Kara Feith, "It's not hope, you must win his new project."

"I also called Murphy a few days ago. He is very happy about the company's strong support for "Deadpool." Kara Firth didn't care much, "As long as we can fully support his company, is it okay to continue to cooperate?" question."

"Yeah." Harry Irons felt relieved, "That's good."

Kara Firth said a few more words, then took his leave and left. Harry Allens opened a file, and in the upper right corner of the file was a photo of Murphy, below which was his resume and introduction.

He took a look, and in a column on the lower left, an A was standard.

The meaning of this A is very clear. After the review of the 20th Century Fox Audit Committee and the signature of his CEO, Murphy Stanton will be the A-level co-director of 20th Century Fox in the future.

It's going to be like that until he screwed up a big-budget movie.

The hottest summer season in North America kicked off. Super masterpieces such as "Troy", "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Van Helsing" were released one after another. 2,000, but the audience did not abandon the film, and the average daily box office output in North America is still close to one million US dollars.

On the day of May 19th, "Deadpool" earned another US$880,000 from North America, and the cumulative North American box office of the film reached US$282.11 million, surpassing the US$281.57 million of "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" in one fell swoop. Dollar, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated movie in North America ever!

This record also allowed Murphy to reach the peak of his career, and he naturally became the darling of the Hollywood circle.

The media are good at adapting to the wind. When a person is going smoothly, they will always blow the wind. The current entertainment media seems to have a tacit understanding, and they are all praising Murphy, but they are not at full capacity. , because anyone with a discerning eye can see that under the pressure of a lot of summer blockbusters, "Deadpool" can still take a lot of box office figures from North America every day, surpassing "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" is definitely not this film. The end of the movie.

What's more, overseas is also very popular. Although it is not as crazy as it was at the beginning, after many small markets also joined the ranks of screenings, the overseas box office of "Deadpool" also easily passed the 200 million US dollar mark, and the global box office The sum is close to 500 million US dollars.

All the media are waiting, waiting for the right time to burst out with all their enthusiasm.

However, the "Hollywood Reporter" published a related review after "Deadpool" completed the transcendence of "The Matrix 2: Reloaded".

"Murphy Stanton, a rapidly rising new force in Hollywood, a super potential stock!"

"In the fertile land of Hollywood, there is never a shortage of fresh blood. However, in today's film industry where sequels and remakes dominate, directors with creativity and personal style are urgently needed to counteract the weak creative status. The emergence of Murphy Stanton is just the beginning. It's the gospel of Hollywood, but geniuses are always made."

"For Murphy Stanton, the director's road is extremely steady. If you lay the foundation and prepare well, the olive branch will come naturally. In 2000, "Hard Candy" directed by Murphy Stanton screenwriter and directed by the ultra-low He earned dozens of times the return on the cost, and since then he has had the aura of a small and big man, and his career as a director is also flourishing. Putting in a high-production film with a strong personal touch.”

"In the process, Murphy Stanton has learned the know-how of commercial blockbusters from his cooperation with Fox Searchlight and Miramax, and at the same time, his own bad taste and creativity set him apart. He laid the groundwork with Deadpool."

"Until this year, the long-awaited Marvel Comics adaptation film "Deadpool" finally made Murphy Stanton famous and a big success."

"This heavy-duty restricted-rated masterpiece "Deadpool" became popular all over the world as soon as it was released, and broke multiple R-rated movie box office records in a row. Murphy Stanton not only satisfied the fans of the original comics, but also pleased the mainstream audience, and R-rated The setting also makes this film full of topic."

"The collaboration between Murphy Stanton and Kara Firth is undoubtedly full of risks. The low budget, script changes, and only two-month shooting cycle and other creative constraints made the film difficult to start shooting. The limited conditions make "Deadpool" so unique. Now the film has made a lot of money in the world, and the word-of-mouth box office has doubled. Much smoother."

In addition to the "Hollywood Reporter", more media are eager to try. Grace, who is in charge of Murphy's media and public relations business, almost exploded her mobile phone. According to what Murphy heard from Bill Rossis, the female agent People are going through a tough time these days, her boyfriend broke up because of Grace's endless calls from media reporters, and there is always a name on the phone - Murphy - Stanton!

Her boyfriend really had enough of it. He heard the voice of the media reporter begging for an interview with Murphy Stanton through the voice of the mobile phone receiver, and couldn't help but want to get angry!

Fortunately, these things did not affect Grace's work, and all interview requests were temporarily suppressed by the female agent.

Because after Murphy finished the overseas promotion of "Deadpool", he went to the Caribbean with Gal Gadot, who started his summer vacation, and all interviews had to be decided after he came back from vacation.

Some islands in the Caribbean Sea are very suitable for vacation. Murphy and Gal Gadot went to a private island, accompanied by Robert Downey Jr. and his new girlfriend Susan Levine.

To be more precise, the two of Murphy came here with Robert Downey Jr., because the owner of this island is his friend Leonardo DiCaprio.

When Murphy arrived, Leonardo DiCaprio, who was busy with "The Aviator", was not on the island, but after receiving news that Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. were coming, he deliberately took a helicopter rushed over. (To be continued.)
