In the living room of the Wave Manor Villa, the Stanton party gathered, and everyone's eyes were looking at Murphy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Seth, Jonah, James......"

Murphy looked at the three people on his left, "Where is your film?" ”

Seth Rogen, the director and producer of the political satirical comedy, volunteered to reply, "Filming was done in August, and now it's in post-production in the studio at Fox Tower, and all production will be done by the end of November at the most." ”

"End of November." Murphy nodded and asked, "Can you dive into a new job when you're done?" ”

These people knew about Murphy's plan, and Seth Rogan said without hesitation, "Of course it's okay!" ”

Jonah Hill and James Franco also nodded, "Our schedule is also suitable. ”

Murphy turned his head to look at the other side, and Robert Downey Jr. took the initiative to raise his hand and said, "I can ask Marvel to adjust the schedule, I must appear in your movie!" ”

Margot Robbie, who was sitting on a single sofa next to him, then said, "I remember that there was a female reporter in the team of the "Focus" column, and you wouldn't want to give this role to someone else, would you? ”

"And me." Gal Gadot also stood up, "Leave the specific affairs of the crew to me." ”

Murphy nodded, "I'll send you the full version of the script later, you guys take a look at it first, and then decide on the characters." ”

The film will be a collective action by the Stanton party! And unlike in the past, this is a group play, and everyone's role is important.

This is a film without a starring role, and the story is the real protagonist

After a brief exchange, the core creative staff of the crew was decided, Murphy served as the director and producer, Gal Gadot continued to escort him as a producer, Robert Downey Jr., Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, James Franco and Margot Robbie, the four men and one woman, happened to play the five roles of Robbie Robinson, Mike Redenzes, Martin Barn, Sasha Pever and lawyer Mitchell Gallobitine.

As for the specific characters, it's still early, and Murphy is not in a hurry, waiting for them to read the script before discussing.

After talking about this, Murphy asked Seth Rogen again, "Is the release date of "The Interview" confirmed? ”

"Twentieth Century Fox wants to put it in February." Seth Rogan lifted his glasses, "I talked to Carla Firth about the release time, and the release time has been postponed, probably in October or November next year." ”

Thinking of the turmoil caused by this movie, Murphy reminded, "You can think of some ways to promote and market." ”

A significant portion of the investment in the film came from Stanton Studios, and he certainly didn't want to do a loss-making business.

However, no one can say whether the former farce really had hackers over there, or some crazy guys in the United States hyped themselves, and Murphy would not tell Seth Rogen about these things.

He thought for a moment and said, "You can let it go, and let's just say that this is the last comedy that the Stanton party will work on." ”

"Uh......" Seth Rogen scratched the back of his head, "this ...... Not quite right, I'm already working on a new comedy with Jonah. ”

In some ways, Seth Rogan is one of the more honest members of the Stanton party, but Jonah Hill on the other side understands what Murphy means and answers, "Seth, you big idiot!" It's just for you to talk about it, to create some hype topics, and it's not that you really don't make comedy movies. ”

"That's right." Seth Rogan smiled, "That's a good idea, too." ”

Murphy's seemingly rancid idea was quickly accepted by Seth Rogen, anyway, it is also a common method in Hollywood and even the world's film circles.

There are just too many such examples.

For example, a fan once complained, Luc Besson: I only made ten movies in my life. Quentin Tarantino: I also only made 10 films in my life. James Cameron: "Avatar 2" is about to start filming! Ridley Scott: I'm going to kill myself by slitting my wrists when there are aliens in my movies again! Michael Bay: This is the last Transformers I directed! Jack Chen: This is the last action movie I've ever acted in. Hayao Miyazaki: I'm retiring! Daniel Craig: Dead and not playing James Bond......

These eye-catching slogans were shouted loudly, and none of them really did it.

In marketing, none of this is a problem.

There are even people who have summed up the three major lies of the world film industry - James Cameron: I will start filming soon; Michael Bay: I'm not going to make another Transformers sequel; Hayao Miyazaki: I retired and never went out again.

Some words, even if they come out of the mouth of a super director, cannot be taken seriously.

While Murphy was actively planning a new project, "Dark City" continued to be released in North American theaters, and although the number of daily box office output was already low, and the box office increase in a week could not even reach a million dollars, Twentieth Century Fox did not completely remove the film from North America when the film's North American market potential was about to be exhausted, as it had done before.

The Dark City will also be screened in major cities across the United States, such as New York, Boston, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles, and will run until at least the end of January!

This is an agreement signed by Twentieth Century Fox with some theaters, according to the agreement, from September to the end of January next year, Twentieth Century Fox will not participate in all box office revenue generated by "Dark City".

If a film wants to maintain a long release time in theaters, it will definitely have to pay a certain price.

Twentieth Century Fox made these moves, not to make the film surpass "Avatar" at the North American box office, and anyone with a discerning eye can see very clearly that "Dark City" is no longer able to compete with "Avatar" for the North American box office championship due to the drag of the shooting at the Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood.

All of this is for awards season.

It's the end of October, the traditional North American awards season is coming, and all the films and companies interested in the Oscar are already gearing up.

Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox are no exception, so why did he choose to announce new projects just around the corner of awards season and not keep them as secret as previous films? Instead, it directly informed the subject matter and content of the film, and in some ways, it was also to allow "Dark City" to make a difference this awards season.

It is no exaggeration to say that under the influence of a series of unexpected events, Hollywood has become at odds with Catholicism.

Although this situation exceeded Murphy's initial expectations and plans, it was undoubtedly very beneficial to him, especially after the press conference of the new project, which was basically applauded from the Hollywood circle to the mainstream media.

With the development of the Oscars to now, everyone can see that the impact of external factors on the attribution of important awards has been very large.

In addition to these, CAA and Murphy's public relations are also underway, Los Angeles City Hall contacted Murphy when the box office exploded in the first week of "Dark City", because Murphy is a native of Los Angeles, Los Angeles City Hall wants to build a Murphy Stanton movie memorial in order to express his contribution to the city and add a famous tourist attraction.

According to Murphy's request, the CAA started negotiations with the Los Angeles City Hall, which was not something that could be done in a short time, so it was smoothly delayed, and it was not until now that a consensus was basically reached.

If nothing else, the two sides will sign a formal agreement in December at the beginning of the awards season and officially announce it to the public, which can virtually add a lot of weight to Murphy's impact on the Oscars!

Whether it's Stanton Studios, CAA and Twentieth Century Fox, they've launched their Oscar rush program in full swing, just waiting for the awards season to begin!

On November 1st, Murphy didn't go out, sat in front of the computer, logged on to Netflix's website, and just arrived at nine o'clock in the morning, he saw the latest new drama announced by the website - "House of Cards"!

"House of Cards", as a web series jointly launched by the streaming website Netflix and Stanton Studios, is different from the traditional American dramas that are broadcast on TV and need fans to "catch" and watch, but on this day, the scale of a whole season of 13 episodes was put on the Internet.

With a lot of pre-publicity done by Netflix, "House of Cards" quickly swept the entire Internet and became a divine drama in the mouths of many people!

Even some politicians are obsessed with the show.

The White House in the Black Charcoal tweeted: "Watch "House of Cards" tomorrow, please don't spoil it. ”

At the same time, he also aite the official Twitter of "House of Cards", which was only retweeted without comments, which made the heroine Kate Mara excited, and quickly retweeted: "This just happened! The president is ready to watch our play! ”

The popularity of "House of Cards" also means that Stanton Studios, which can get half of the revenue, has found a hen that can lay golden eggs in terms of episodes after "Game of Thrones"!

But the impact of Murphy's planned series is not just a divine drama, and it even challenges the traditional TV industry's production model of "separation of production and broadcasting".

"House of Cards" is not a simple artistic creation carried out by the production agency, but is based on the big data of the viewing behavior of 30 million users stored on the Netflix website, and analyzes the "search" and "collection" habits of netizens.

The broadcast of this drama broke the traditional model of successive episodes launched by TV stations, and the Netflix website launched a season's episodes in one day at a time, adapting to the viewing habits of audiences in the Internet era, and the audience can participate in the production and promotion of TV programs through the Internet.

If you can make a profit, of course, you must continue to make it.

Subsequently, Murphy is ready to start preparing for his new film, while also keeping an eye on the awards season.
