Now that he has accepted the request of Warner Bros., Murphy will definitely not miss the premiere of "Batman v Superman". For this purpose, he flew to New York where the North American premiere is held.

Since the negotiation with Warner Bros. broke down because of the compensation, Murphy did not continue to pay attention to it except knowing that Warner Bros. and DC had recruited Zach Snyder to take over the DC series. Sighing secretly, he wanted to correct the path of the DC movie, but the other party stubbornly returned to the old path.

And he really couldn't figure it out, the current DC series and the Marvel series started almost at the same time, why is there such a hurry?

Perhaps, Warner Bros. and DC Comics want to prove that without him, Murphy Stanton, DC superhero movies can still achieve great success.

This is Murphy's own random guess, of course it can't be accurate, but it is true that Warner Bros. and DC Comics did not adopt the step-by-step plan he originally made.

Because he was busy with Oscar public relations before, Murphy did not participate in the trial screening of "Batman v Superman" after the Oscar public relations, and prepared the script and plan of the new project. However, judging from the news on the market, the reputation of the trial screening seems to be quite good , the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is as high as 100%, and the seven media participating in the test screening all gave good reviews, and the imdb score is currently 94

Even, Warner's media is still advocating that the film has zero negative reviews.

All of this is very similar to the situation before the release of "Batman v Superman" in Murphy's memory.

For that movie, the word of mouth of the test screening before its release was overwhelming, and the fans who participated in the test screening even had zero negative reviews. What happened?

Before going to the Lincoln Center for the Arts, Murphy deliberately watched the trailer of "Batman v Superman", which was affected by his participation and appeared in advance, with a strong typical Zack Snyder style, Despite the changes caused by the absence of Wonder Woman, it's not hard to find Zack Snyder's deeply ingrained personal style.

For hardcore comic fans, Zach Schneider is always the best adaptation director, but for passer-by audiences, Zach Schneider's adaptation friendliness is really bad.

Arriving at the Lincoln Center for the Arts, Murphy walked on the red carpet. Today's premiere was huge, and the atmosphere at the scene was frenzied. Anyway, this is a Superman and Batman movie, which naturally attracts people's attention.

Knowing he wasn't the star of the night, Murphy quickly walked down the aisle and saw Chris Evans, who continued to play Superman Clark Kent, and Ben Affleck, who played Batman Bruce Wayne.

Although Murphy wanted to enter the theater directly after passing the red carpet, the media area set up in front of the theater was a must pass, and those media reporters could not let him go.

Some reporters gathered around and asked loudly, "Director Stanton, why did you quit DC's superhero series?"

Murphy shrugged slightly, "Because I have other films to shoot."

"What do you think of Zach Schneider taking over this series?" Another reporter asked.

"Zach Snyder is a very good director." Murphy's answer was watertight, "I believe he will bring us a wonderful superhero movie."

After finishing speaking, he walked directly to the theater regardless of other questions thrown by the reporters.

When he was approaching the entrance of the theater, there was a rushing sound of high-heeled shoes behind him, and it seemed that someone was chasing him specially.

"Hi, Murphy."

Hearing this familiar voice, Murphy turned his head to look, and Margot Robbie, wearing a light yellow evening dress, had already walked over.

This can also be regarded as my friend, or Gal Gadot's best friend, Murphy nodded and said with a smile, "When did you arrive, Maggie, I didn't expect to see you here."

Margot Robbie walked up to Murphy, took his arm politely, and walked into the theater together, explaining as they walked, "Haven't you heard? Warner Bros. and DC Comics are planning to launch a project for Suicide Squad .

"

"Are you interested in this project?" Murphy immediately understood what she meant.

"Yeah." Margot Robbie nodded, and didn't need to hide anything from Murphy, and said directly, "My agent suggested that I get the role of Harley Quinn."

Murphy glanced at her, "Well, you are very suitable for this role."

Entering the front hall of the theater, Margot Robbie just remembered and asked, "Has Gail not come back yet?"

"I came back once in February, and went back again." Murphy said simply, "She has something to deal with at home, and she will stay in Israel for a while."

Margot Robbie looked at Murphy and asked, "Would it be her parents..."

As a best friend, she knows some things about Gal Gadot, including that her parents hope that she can stay in Tel Aviv to develop.

"No." Murphy shook his head, "It's about business."

While Murphy was talking to Margot Robbie, a person came over and greeted him politely, "Hi, Murphy, long time no see."

"Hi, Bruce." Murphy shook his extended right hand, "It's been a long time."

The man who came was none other than Warner Bros. CEO Bruce Rosenbloom, who had worked with him on Man of Steel.

Thinking that Margot Robbie was going to fight for the role of Harley Quinn, Murphy then introduced to Bruce Rosenbloom, "This is my friend, Margot Robbie."

"Hello, Miss Robbie." Bruce Rosenblum shook hands with Margot Robbie lightly, "Your performance as Sansa Stark is very impressive."

Margot Robbie immediately made a face of surprise, "Thank you, it is my honor that you can watch this show."

Bruce Rosenblum only exchanged greetings with a little-known young actor for Murphy's sake, then turned his face and said to Murphy, "Your "Man of Steel" is for you." We created a very good situation, Zack Snyder's film, almost seamlessly connected to the "Man of Steel"."

"Really?" Murphy didn't say much, "Then I have to watch this movie carefully."

"You can watch it as many times as you want." Bruce Rosenblum was a little proud, "Warner Bros. can give you free tickets."

Murphy shook his head, "That's not necessary."

Bruce Rosenbloom pointed to the door of the theater, "I have other people to greet, you can do whatever you want."

Seeing Murphy nodding, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the theater, turning his head slightly once in the middle, and seeing Murphy joking with Margot Robbie, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

The partner that Warner Bros. wanted most at the beginning was Murphy Stanton, but the price he offered was too high. 125% of the film's full revenue share was simply too outrageous, so Warner Bros. Almost half of the profits should be paid to him.

No one in Hollywood is willing to pay such a high price for a director, so he chose to give up, and then looked for a new director. After many recommendations, he found a Zach Schneider whose style was most like Murphy Stanton, and the other party The pay is cheap enough.

Judging from the current situation, Zach Schneider has done a pretty good job. Warner Bros. organized a trial screening for die-hard fans of DC comics. Nearly a thousand die-hard fans of comics had no negative comments. Let him and Warner's executives, There are more expectations for this "Batman v Superman".

If the film can be successful, it can pull the entire DC superhero series out of the shadow of Murphy Stanton and "Man of Steel", and it can also prove that his and Warner Bros.'s choices are correct.

As long as the box office and word-of-mouth hit, none of this is a problem.

After saying hello to some people he knew, Murphy entered the screening room, and Margot Robbie followed. He even changed seats with the person next to Murphy and sat on his left.

"Murphy."

Before the screening of the film started, Margot Robbie asked, "What do you think of this film?"

"How would I know?" Murphy spread his hands, "I didn't attend the preview of Warner Bros. How can I know whether the movie is good or bad without seeing it."

Margot Robbie shrugged, "I thought you'd seen it."

Soon, the movie began to be shown. It was similar to what Murphy remembered. The movie started from the perspective of Batman. The absolute protagonist in "Man of Steel" was inevitably reduced to Batman's supporting role. In fact, it was nothing, but After watching for a while, he could only shake his head.

This "Batman v Superman" is definitely not a bad movie, and it is still far away from the super bad movies in Hollywood, but just like the previous one, no matter how you look at it, this one directed by Zack Snyder The movies are all for DC Comics fans.

It is not a popular and diversified commercial film at all, nor is it an easy-to-understand work. Another reason is that a lot of things have been deleted in the editing. People in comics are sometimes confused and unable to digest in time...

Indeed, the movie itself is personalized, especially the Zack Snyder in Murphy's impression has always had his own style. Perhaps fans think that he has restored the comics very well in this way, and uses the dark style just right.

But the problem is, as the first few works of the entire series, they can be said to be the foundation works. The foundation works are not used to attract fans, but are only used to please the existing old fans. For the production company, this is really useless. question?

Another point is that the rhythm of the film is too slow and the plot is too lengthy. Now is the information age where the rhythm exceeds.

"puff……"

The movie was at the end of Batman v Superman, and Margot Robbie next to Murphy couldn't help laughing anymore, and then there were more laughter in the theater.

It's a dark and heavy film, without any jokes attached, so it makes people laugh, so what does that mean? (To be continued.)
