This small Caribbean island belongs to a business group, specially used for rent, not only church rooms, but also all kinds of entertainment facilities, from the residential area, turn a coconut grove, the space suddenly opens, in front of the eyes is a soft sand, under the reflection of a large bonfire, dyed a place of gold; Further afield, there is the tranquil sea, which slowly washes up to the edge of the beach, gentle like a lover's wet kiss. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, none of this catches the eye, and the most striking thing is the beautiful women on the beach, their healthy and well-proportioned bodies in swimsuits, and the smooth lines represent the rigors of the past, and even Murphy's layman's eye can guess that these people are either models or have been models.

After the relatively rigorous wedding ceremony and banquet, the theme of this campfire party is naturally carnival.

Compared with those who don't have a family and no restraints, Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. and others specially stayed away from that area and lit a bonfire alone, and Murphy even stood by the grill himself, turned on the simple electric grill, and took out some meat skewers on top of it, to show off his skills.

Lamb, cumin, paprika...... In the past, Murphy played buffet barbecue in his hometown, and the barbecue stalls there were the hottest places in summer and autumn.

"Come and get ......," Murphy beckoned, placing the skewers on a tray, "while they're hot." ”

Gal Gadot came over and took the skewers and gave them to the crowd sitting at the long table near the campfire.

Murphy grilled some more beef skewers, washed his hands in the basin, and returned to his seat with a large sip of cold beer before asking, "Bill, you just said that the media invited Gail?" ”

Since "Man of Steel", Bill Rothes has also been working as an agent in Gal Gadot's actor business.

"Gail is famous, and Wonder Woman is very popular." The person who answered was Robert Downey Jr., "As far as I know, Gail's fan groups have been established in many places now, and she is still calling for her to continue to play Wonder Woman." ”

"Really?" Gal Gadot shrugged, "I don't think there will be a chance." ”

She originally only signed a film contract with Warner Bros. and DC Comics, and now that Murphy's collaboration with Warner Bros. has completely broken down, she has no idea of continuing to play Wonder Woman on the silver screen.

Even if the character is very interesting, you can play cosplay with Murphy in private.

"What Donnie said is true, and Gale really has a lot of fans."

It was only after Robert Downey Jr. that Bill Rothes found an opportunity to speak, "Otherwise, the media wouldn't have made me an offer." ”

Murphy asked with interest, "What invitation?" ”

Bill Rothes replied, "Victoria's Secret invited Gail to participate in Victoria's Secret annual show this year, and Anna Wintour wanted Gail to be the cover character for July. ”

"Hmm." Murphy nodded slightly.

He knows about this, and as for whether he accepts it or not, he will not intervene, and Gal Gadot is in charge.

Gal Gadot is very assertive, "Victoria's Secret invitation pushed, I haven't practiced the steps in many years, and I don't have that much time to practice. ”

Although she has worked as a model before, she has given up on the industry for many years.

"Anna Wintour's Invitation ......"

An invitation from a fashion magazine is a great temptation for every woman, and Gal Gadot is no exception, she thinks for a while and says, "I need to think about this." ”

Needless to say in detail than Bill Rossius, Murphy also knows that the Anna Wintour he is talking about is the prototype of Meryl Streep's character in "The Devil Wears Prada", that is, the editor-in-chief of the American edition of Vogue magazine.

Perhaps a former model, Gal Gadot is very interested in the fashion side.

After eating kebabs, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogan, two bachelors, casually found a reason to say goodbye and left, and went to a place where beach beauties gather to have fun, and the topic of the remaining few people gradually turned to movies, especially "Thor" and "City of Chaos", which are still in theaters, which are the focus of discussion.

"This is the fifth weekend of release...... Bill Rotheis knows the dynamics of Hollywood well, "According to authoritative forecasts in the market, the North American box office of "Thor" may exceed $115 million after this weekend, and judging from the current blockbuster release and serious squeeze on the film schedule, the final North American box office of this film should be between $125 million and $130 million." ”

James Franco chimed in, "I remember it was a little bit better overseas than in North America. ”

"Hmm." Bill Rothes nodded, "The overseas accumulation is almost 140 million US dollars, and it is difficult for the global box office of this film to exceed 300 million US dollars." ”

"What about City of Chaos?" Lily Collins put down the vegetable skewers, tugged at the napkin and wiped her mouth, and said, "Can it be three times as big as Thor?" ”

Murphy was drinking beer, and Gal Gadot saw that he didn't open his mouth and said, "No way, after this weekend, the North American box office is estimated to be close to $245 million." ”

Lily Collins said enviously, "That $250 million must be fine." ”

"But overseas is $300 million at most." Gal Gadot sighed, "The world is probably around $580 million." ”

Although this result is good, it is still not ideal compared to the huge investment in the film.

"It's more than Twentieth Century Fox expected." Bill Rothes continued, "This film plus other peripheral income, it should not be a big problem to recover the cost, the most important thing is a good audience reputation, it will build a certain audience base, and when the second part is released, the situation will be completely different." ”

Murphy put down his glass and said, "So, Bill, you still have to communicate with Twentieth Century Fox, and the word-of-mouth marketing of this film can't be stopped." ”

Follow-up word-of-mouth marketing is very important, and it can be directly converted into the first-week box office of the second part in the future.

"It's a pity for Thor......," Robert Downey Jr. shook his head, "to become cannon fodder for City of Chaos." ”

Susan Downey took the tissue handed by Robert Downey Jr., wiped her hands, and said, "This was originally a film that paved the way for "The Avengers", and the box office of about $300 million is not bad. ”

Robert Downey Jr. spread his hands, "The problem is that the film's reputation is too poor, not only will it not help "The Avengers", but it will drag its feet. ”

He looked at Murphy and said, "Under your influence, the critics' attitude towards superhero films is completely different from before, and the kind of pure popcorn that is simple and brainless is difficult to get good reviews." ”

"The ...... of the summer films," Murphy said with a laugh, "didn't have a lot of impact from the critics." ”

Robert Downey Jr. shook his head, "Normally, that's true, but the problem is that Thor's professional reputation is too poor. ”

Speaking of which, he changed a weird tone, "The biggest failure of this film is to add the plot, don't want the plot, as long as the muscular man flies around in the air and thunders and lightning, what plot do you want, what plot do you want, what kind of plot do you want, what ......kind of plot do you want, what kind of plot do you want, what kind of plot do you want

"These critics ......," Robert Downey Jr. shook his head, "and these film critics now only use indiscriminate abuse." ”

Murphy also agrees with Robert Downey Jr., "The older generation of film critics, as the new generation of movie fans become the main body of the market, has less and less influence, and the professional accomplishment of the new rising film critics is indeed relatively low." ”

"Iron Man 2" has been bombarded by film critics, and Robert Downey Jr. seems to have a deep resentment against film critics: "There have been great figures like Andre Bazin in the film critics, who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the film industry, but when the first group of film critics with extremely high professional and professional qualities retired, what is the current situation of the professional film critics?" ”

Without waiting for someone to answer, he himself said, "The quality of film critics is getting lower and lower, except for complaining and abuse, they can't write any film reviews with real opinions, and their own knowledge level and professional quality are very poor." What they write to curse can also be called a movie review? What is a Film Review? André Bazin wrote the film review in the film manual, and André Bazin not only gave criticism, but also played a crucial role in the development of cinema, although he was not a director, his theories about cinema guided the development of the film industry. ”

Robert Downey Jr., who is now fully commercialized, like Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp, is not at all that dish in the eyes of professional film critics.

Correspondingly, Robert Downey Jr. has been scolded a lot and has no good opinion of professional film critics, he continued, "A true film critic must have a deep cultural connotation, not only a knowledge of pop culture, but also a professional understanding of film." Originally, film criticism was supposed to be a very high-end profession, but now it is low-end, mixed in with a lot of people with very little professional qualifications, who are good for nothing but to win the reader's interest with vicious and sensational words. ”

Robert Downey Jr.'s words are not unreasonable, even if he is more touted by professional film critics, he has to admit that in today's era when the influence of the older generation of professional film critics is getting smaller and smaller, the overall quality of the new film critic team has seriously declined, and it is not easy to see outstanding film critics.

Most of these film critics will only follow the trend, all commercial films will be defeated, and all fast-paced and visually impactful films will be disdainful, how can they have their own opinions? Even if sometimes they are right, a film is really bad, but when they ask them to ask why it is bad, the reasons they say are really shocking, and they don't have the most basic professional qualities at all.

Amid Robert Downey Jr.'s denunciation of film critics, the bonfire party ended, and Murphy stayed here for the night, then flew back to Los Angeles alone the next day to meet his lawyer, Robert. (To be continued.) )
