Hearing what Gal Gadot said, Murphy looked down and could vaguely see names such as Bella and Edward. He immediately understood what she was looking at, and couldn't help but shook his head and said, "My dear, unless You play the heroine yourself."

Gal Gadot gave him a pair of white eyeballs.

This kind of film is completely adapted to the Seventeen Prohibition. It doesn't matter how the two of them play in private, as long as they are happy with each other. It is another matter to make it on the screen for others to enjoy.

Murphy thought of a bad idea, "How about this, I'll get a video camera, next time we make a large-scale movie, the two of us will be the leading actors..."

Gal Gadot also showed interest, "Okay, we'll use it for fun in the future."

After discussing this topic for a while, Gal Gadot asked again, "You bought the copyright of this fan fiction, are you really going to adapt it into a movie? Are you afraid of infringing on Stephanie Meyer's copyright?"

This novel has received a lot of attention on the Internet, but the names of the male and female protagonists are Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen, which are completely fan fictions of "Twilight".

"Don't watch it, go to sleep." Murphy took Gal Gadot's phone, turned it off and put it aside, and explained, "I already asked Erica Leonard to change the name of the character. "

Today's Erica Leonard doesn't even use the pen name EL-James, and only a small part of the sadomasochistic novels written by Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen have been published on the Internet , has not yet produced a sensational effect, and Murphy's Stanton Studio did not spend much effort to get Erica Leonard to sign a copyright agreement, which will be fully operated by the Stanton Studio. Everything from publishing to film adaptations.

Before, Murphy also met with Erica Leonard and suggested that she better change the name to "Fifty Shades of XXX".

Just waiting for Erica Leonard to make revisions, Stanton Studios will partner with Amazon to launch an e-book series of the novel first.

Wait for a certain reader base before adapting the film.

Because they went to bed very late at night, Murphy and Gal Gadot didn't get up early as usual, and they didn't take care of their work. They rarely hid at home and slept late.

Compared to the young Murphy and Gal Gadot, Stan Lee is older and less sleepy. As long as he has something to worry about, he will often get up very early.

As soon as the sun climbed into the sky, a Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped in front of Marvel Studios. Stan Lee pushed the door and got out of the car. Kevin Fitch, who happened to meet him, went over to say hello, and Together, he walked towards the big conference room of Marvel Studios.

Although there is still some time before work, Marvel Comics executives have long been waiting in the conference room. The CEO of Marvel Comics, Avi Arad, sat at the head of the conference table without saying a word. Waiting quietly, waiting for the arrival of the protagonist of this meeting.

That person has reason to keep them waiting, because he has created brilliant performances for Marvel Comics, one person almost propped up Marvel Studios, and once again brought glory.

There was a light knock on the door of the meeting room, and a secretary walked in with Stan Lee and Kevin Fitch. Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Kevin Fitch alone, as if they were looking at the man in the comics. Wei's hero is average.

Kevin Feige walked towards his seat, nodding to the eyes that looked at him.

As soon as he walked to the conference table, Avi Arad stood up and waited here. He reached out his hand and shook hands with Kevin Fitch heavily. After he sat down, he announced the start of the brief meeting.

This is a business meeting with very clear goals and pertinence. There is no wordy place, and the meeting goes straight to the point.

"The exact statistics of the early box office of "Thor" have come out."

The person who spoke was Avi Allard himself, and everyone’s ears were pricked up. All the executives present here are Marvel Comics executives. The company’s performance is closely related to their future and destiny.

No one doesn't want to see "Thor" be a hit.

"The box office in advance is 6.56 million U.S. dollars!"

Following the words of Avi Allard, many people showed a smile on their faces.

Indeed, compared to the midnight box office record of more than 10 million US dollars created by "Iron Man 2", the figure of 6.56 million US dollars is not too bright, but here are all real industry insiders, very clear that this figure is very important for a For a non-sequel movie, the meaning is very unusual.

The only thing that worries them is the competition.

However, the numbers Avi Allard said made these people smile even brighter.

"Murphy Stanton's "City of Chaos" has an early box office of only 3.58 million US dollars!"

There was laughter in the meeting room. Stan Lee was the first to clap his palms. The applause was a little abrupt and monotonous, but after a while, the rest of the people also applauded, and the applause gathered into an ocean!

They firmly believe that as long as the box office in the first weekend can continue to perform ahead of schedule, "Thor" will undoubtedly be a success, and Marvel's superhero movies will be a great success again!

"For Marvel Studios, for Marvel Comics, this summer is a pivotal time."

After the applause stopped, Avi Arad glanced over the top executives of Marvel Comics one by one, and said very seriously, "Next year we will put "The Avengers" on the market, and this year's preparation is very good. Important, the focus of this summer is "Thor", mobilize all corresponding resources to fully support this film!"

Specific tasks were assigned one by one, and the meeting soon came to an end. Everyone in Marvel was full of energy and seemed extremely confident.

"The next time I meet Murphy Stanton..."

Stan Lee said to a few young people next to him, "I will educate him with facts, how powerful Marvel's superheroes are!"

There was a knock on the door suddenly, and an assistant of Kevin Feith came in with the document, walked directly to Kevin Feith, handed the document to Kevin Feige first, and then whispered something in his ear.

Since he was sitting very close to Kevin Fitch, Stan Lee could see that Kevin Fitch opened the file and glanced at it, his face seemed to change.

"What's wrong, Kevin?" he asked concerned.

Kevin Fitch has never had a good impression of Stan Lee, so he ignored him, stood up and said, "I just got a copy of statistics."

Hearing what he said, the chaotic conference room immediately fell silent, and Avi Arad also cast a concerned look.

Kevin Feige no longer had a smile on his face, "CinemaSore just released a statistics and forecast."

It has not been a year or two since Marvel Comics has directly entered into the film business. CinemaSore’s accurate statistics and forecasts of the North American film market are known to some of the senior executives of Marvel Comics present.

Stan Lee looked at Kevin Fitch's face and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Kevin Fitch said slowly, "The latest statistics from CinemaSore gave the audience score of "Thor" a B, and only about 66% of the early-stage audience were satisfied with our film!"

"what?"

"What?"

"This is impossible!"

"This unscientific?"

"how so?"

Surprised voices sounded in the conference room, in stark contrast to the excitement just now.

"Where's Murphy Stanton?" Stan Lee asked anxiously, "Where's his "City of Chaos"?"

"The situation is not good for us!" Kevin Feige said seriously, ""City of Chaos" has the highest rating of A+ among the theater audience. Nearly 91% of the audience in advance think this movie is very exciting!"

Stan Lee's previous smile gradually froze.

Kevin Fitch added, "Based on previous pre-sales and last night's midnight box office statistics, as well as live audience ratings, CinemaSore has made box office predictions for "Thor" and "City of Chaos."

Everyone pricked up their ears, after all, they all knew that CinemaSore's prediction accuracy was quite high.

"They think 'Thor' will do around $24 million on its first day, and 'Mayhem' will do around $22 million."

Hearing these two numbers, Stan Lee felt a lot more relaxed, he smiled, and said, "Then we are still box office champions!"

Interrupted by Stan Lee, Kevin Feige frowned and continued, "But CinemaSore believes that "Thor" has insufficient stamina and will be impacted by "Chaos City". The North American box office in the first weekend will be suppressed by 5000. 10,000 US dollars, and "City of Chaos" will win this weekend's box office champion with around 60 million US dollars!"

The smile that was pulled out was not put away, and it froze on Stan Lee's face. He coughed in a low voice, and to avoid embarrassment, he said, "CinemaSore's prediction may not be accurate. It's not like they didn't miss the time."

"That's right!"

"Didn't they predict "Iron Man" too low?"

There were many voices echoing Stan Lee in the office. After all, the early box office of "Thor" was nearly twice that of "City of Chaos", which was clearly in front of them, and it was more realistic than those illusory predictions.

"Everyone! Everyone!" Kevin Feige patted the table lightly, and the discussion in the conference room gradually disappeared, and he said, "I said these statistics, not to say that our "Thor" is not good, It is to remind everyone that we must not take it lightly, because we are facing a very strong competitor, and no one can underestimate Murphy Stanton and his movies!"

He emphasized vigorously, "Have you all forgotten how powerful the word-of-mouth effect of Murphy Stanton's films is? The word-of-mouth spread spontaneously by the audience will make his films more and more famous!"

"So, we can't underestimate the enemy!" Kevin Feige continued, "We have to take out all available resources and continue to use them in the promotion of this film, especially the banner of the Avengers!"

This suggestion was approved by most people, and the meeting also began to discuss how to let Thor interact with the Avengers more to increase the topic of the film.
