Hollywood Road

"Black actors are too troublesome, too difficult, and glass-hearted. ≯One novel ≥≧\u003c\u003c\u003c≤"

In front of Murphy, Kara Firth did not hide it, "The important thing is that I don't like them at all. Paul Anderson also recommended Milla Jovovich, so I changed the screenwriter to a white person."

Like Murphy, she actually doesn't pay much attention to the so-called political correctness of Hollywood movies.

"What about your new project?" Kara Firth mentioned the new movie that Murphy had temporarily put aside, "When will it continue?"

Murphy thought for a while and said, "After the negotiations on "A Song of Ice and Fire" are settled, if there is no progress in the negotiations by next month, I will hand everything over to Bill."

Kara Firth also heard Murphy mention the content of the new project, and asked strangely, "Why did you choose such a theme?"

""Deadpool" is a big hit, which made me famous, and is considered by many people to be the most promising young director in Hollywood." Murphy's voice was steady, telling the truth completely, "But there will also be negative reactions, if I It is more troublesome to be considered by the old men of the academy as a complete commercial director."

Kara Firth understood, "You still miss the Oscar statuette."

"In this circle, how many directors don't want to win the best director statuette?" Murphy pointed to himself, "I really want to, and I never deny it."

"So, you chose such a non-commercial theme?" Kara Firth asked.

"It just doesn't look so commercial on the surface." Murphy shrugged. "In fact, it's still very entertaining. I can't make a loss-making business."

He laughed, "I think I don't have the ability of James Cameron, and I can't make those old men bow their heads just by relying on business. I have to choose the subject matter."

If the old men of the students completely position him as a Michael Bay-like commercial or comic director, I am afraid that he may not be able to get the Oscar statuette until his hair is gray.

The obsession with the Oscar statuette is not only from now, but also from the past.

Many practitioners in the film industry on the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean still have a deep obsession with Oscar, and he will inevitably be affected in the past.

And because of his personal hobbies, his views are also somewhat biased. He always believes that the weight of an Oscar statuette is far more important than the top awards of the three major international film festivals.

Many people will definitely scoff at his cognition, but everyone always has different views on different matters.

He is not very interested in the three major international film festival awards, but the Oscar statuette is very eager to get it.

Most directors can get Oscar statuettes not only because of their films, but no matter how hard many directors work, they are often ignored by the old men of the academy.

Representatives of them are undoubtedly typical commercial film directors and directors who were born in commercials.

Murphy knew very well that Oscar always only chooses the right one, not necessarily the right one.

Therefore, while shooting commercial films, he also chooses some films that do not seem to have a strong commercial flavor, but are actually commercial films.

While making commercial profits, it can also show to the outside world that Murphy Stanton is not a purely commercial director, and he is still very pursuing.

Although the theme of the new project is relatively dark, and even the three views are not correct, it can continue the consistent style of his previous independent films, showing a distinctive style.

Today's Hollywood movies are severely lacking in creativity, not to say that there is no creativity, but that creativity is almost equal to risk. Few companies are willing to take huge risks, so Hollywood adaptations, sequels and remakes can always be seen Rampaging, there are very few original works on the annual investment list of the six major companies.

"Alien vs. Predator" is not a sequel, but an epic collision of two famous screen monsters in Hollywood. Although this film has encountered protests from many of its fans before, the gimmicks it brings are on par with Paul Anderson on the passing line. The above productions have attracted many audiences into the theater.

In the three days of the weekend, "Alien vs. Predator" took more than 41 million US dollars from more than 3400 theaters in North America, and successfully reached the goal set before the screening. Such a weekend box office basically means that this film can Step into the ranks of the North American box office billion club.

The two films promoted by one hand were sold one after another, and Kara Firth completely gained a firm foothold in 20th Century Fox and showed her own strength.

This is undoubtedly extremely beneficial for her to continue to move forward to a higher position.

After cheering for Kara Firth, there was still no good news from Bill Rossis. Murphy simply picked up the work that he had thrown away before-writing script outlines, making project plans, and drawing some serials. sexual drawing board.

When Murphy finished the script outline and began to fill in the outline template, Gal Gadot became the first reader.

"When I think of my wife, it's always her head. I imagine opening her lovely head and studying her brain for answers..."

After reading just one sentence, Gal Gadot felt a creepy feeling, and he didn't need to look down to know that the man who said such words was definitely not a normal man.

"Is this a wife-killing movie?" Gal Gadot immediately thought of the Simpson wife-killing case that shocked the United States.

He looked at Murphy who was sitting in front of the drawing board, um...his boyfriend is still normal.

However, Gal Gadot still sighed and muttered to himself, "Why does he always like to focus on the dark side of human beings?"

Sitting on a chair, holding his chin with one hand, Gal Gadot watched Murphy scribbling and drawing, and could vaguely see the faint scars on his side face, with a thoughtful look on his face, so After a while, he nodded slowly.

She lived a good life since she was a child, and has never encountered any difficulties in survival. Unlike her, Murphy grew up in a slum. In his own words, he had a very bastard and unbearable boyhood and youth. Went to prison, stayed for a whole year before getting out...

In fact, you can guess without thinking too much. He has seen dark things since he was a child. He has experienced situations that she can't imagine. ...

Gal Gadot shook his head, and felt a little rejoiced in his heart. Murphy's dark side has always been shown in the film, and his life has always been full of sunshine and positivity.

Seeing Murphy put down the carbon pencil, Gal Gadot stood up and walked over. The drawing board is a painting. Although Murphy's painting skills cannot be complimented, she can also see that it looks like a woman is falling headfirst into the water.

"Is it really about killing a wife?" Gal Gadot asked.

"No." Murphy shook his head, "Honey, what you see are all illusions used to confuse and arouse the curiosity of the audience."

Gal Gadot stood behind his chair, reaching out to straighten Murphy's messy head, "Can you tell me?"

In the early stage of a project, a certain degree of secrecy is definitely required, but Gal Gadot is not in this ranks. Murphy organized it a little and said, "This is a film set against the background of modern urban life and tells the story of a pair of different backgrounds. It is a dark humorous suspenseful love movie where couples from different classes love and kill each other, control each other, and in the end they are inseparable."

"Why..." Gal Gadot was still confused, "Why do you write and draw things like a husband plotting to kill his wife?"

"The needs of future movies, to be precise, are the needs of attracting audiences." Murphy put down the carbon pen, took out a wet wipe, and said while wiping his hands, "A good movie must make people fall into it involuntarily." , and wishful thinking that those exquisite pictures, precise scheduling, and editing are all to tell the story well, not to show off skills deliberately, so that the sense of form of the movie surpasses the story itself. These are the things that will serve it in the future .”

Gal Gadot nodded, "So, all I see are illusions in future movies? It's not killing my wife."

"No." Murphy shook his head, "This is a story about a pair of lovers who love and hate each other."

"That's it," Gal Gadot glanced at the drawing board again, and found a line of small characters in an extremely inconspicuous corner of the drawing, and asked, "Is this the name of the future film?"

"Yeah." Murphy threw the wet wipe into the trash can next to it, "If nothing else happens, it will still be called "Gone Girl" in the future."

Gal Gadot's cell phone rang suddenly, and she escaped to take a look, "My mother."

As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the window. Murphy stopped talking and stood up to tidy up.

"The Lost Lover", a film with dark themes and unhealthy views, is his new project.

The previous film was adapted from the novel of the same name. Now that the novel has not appeared, Murphy does not need to consider the issue of copyright and adaptation. He is going to directly produce the script and then invest in filming.

Without the original novel, it will have some impact on the film, but the impact will not be great. The previous novel is only a third-rate work. If it is not adapted into a movie, even in North America, I am afraid it will be submerged in the huge In the world of Wenhai.

This film can be said to be a case of a typical third-rate novel adapted into a first-rate film, and as Murphy said, this film is entertaining enough while allowing him to show that he is not a purely commercial film director.

Entertainment is very important to the future commercial return of the film.

Also, from the beginning of planning this film, Murphy thought of marketing plans to match it. Without the shackles of novels, these plans will be implemented more smoothly, and if they are well executed, they can even have a sensational effect.

From the end of August to the beginning of September, he was busy with these tasks. After finishing the first draft of the script, Bill Rosses also sent good news. (To be continued.)
