"I've tried it, but the company still doesn't want to put "Deadpool" in the summer file. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

In the studio at Sydney Fox Studios, when Murphy was done and returned to the director's monitor, Carla Firth came over, stood next to his chair, and said, "I don't have a say in distribution. ”

"It's okay." Murphy looked at the filming location that was being set up, gestured to Fili Raschel, who had come over, and asked him to set up camera number two at a different angle, and after seeing that he understood his intentions, he turned to Carla Firth and said, "April is not bad, and one of my best films was released in April." ”

Squeezing into the summer file and competing head-on with a number of super big productions, this is Murphy's original idea, but unfortunately the director has no say in this regard than Carla Firth, and the release time of a film depends more on the arrangement of the distribution company.

Even if Stanton Studios doesn't have a distribution department, Murphy understands that distribution is not as simple as contacting the theatrical chain company to determine a time for release, it is also a systematic project.

"It's good for us, at least the competitive pressure won't be so great."

This kind of thing, Carla Firth is obviously comforting herself, she, like Murphy, has never been afraid of any competition, but the reality is indeed here, Twentieth Century Fox can't ignore it, and it is definitely necessary to put the most competitive films in the summer file, "The schedule in May, the company left "The Day After Tomorrow", "Crazy Dodgeball" in June, and the resources in July should be closer to "Me and the Robot", and "Deadpool" can only be placed in April. ”

"Hmm......" Murphy nodded and asked, "What weekend is April?" What are the competitive films that week, and the weekends before and after? ”

The box office performance of a film is not only based on itself, but also on its competitors at the time.

is also a superhero movie, if "Deadpool" and "Spider-Man 2" collide and be released on the same weekend, what will be the consequences?

No matter how arrogant he is, he doesn't think that "Deadpool" can compete head-on with the now super popular "Spider-Man" series, and it won't be impacted.

"Second weekend in April." Carla Firth has investigated the situation, "Judging from the current situation announced by the major companies, there were no films of the same magnitude released that weekend. But the weekend before, there will be Revolution Inc.'s "Hellboy"; The following weekend, Warner Bros. took the highlight of the year......"

She looked at Murphy and said, "Catwoman is going to be in theaters the following weekend." ”

"I remember......" Murphy was a little curious, "Warner Bros. originally put this film on the summer schedule?" ”

Carla Firth shrugged her shoulders with a somewhat strange expression, "It is said that Warner Bros. has internal doubts about female superheroes, and believes that Catwoman, which is entirely starring female characters, is not suitable for the fierce competition in the summer schedule, so the schedule has been brought to April. ”

"Female ......," she sighed.

Although the latter words were not spoken, Murphy understood what she meant, and reached out and squeezed Kara Firth's shoulder comfortingly.

Both of them know very well that Hollywood is the loudest anti-discrimination slogan, but it also puts all kinds of discrimination in the largest circle.

There is a lot of discrimination that you can choose to turn a blind eye to, but they don't pretend to be invisible.

Some time ago, the Media, Diversity and Social Change Advocacy Organization of the University of Southern California's Ann Arbor School of Communication and Journalism released a survey report on Hollywood's diversity, which took 414 films and TV series produced and distributed by 10 media giants, including Sony Columbia, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Walt Disney and Twentieth Century Fox, as the research object, and believed that the American film industry is a typical "white straight men's club".

In addition to people of color, middle-aged and older adults, women, and LGBT communities — lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender — are underrepresented.

Gender discrimination is pervasive in this circle, as evidenced by the percentage of actors and actresses who cross the $20 million club.

After a few more words, Murphy no longer cared about Carla Firth and could focus all his energy on his work.

Confirmation of the work of each department was passed on one by one.

"The camera crew is in place!"

"The lights are ready!"

"Props are ready!"

"The action set is ready!"

Most of the departments are ready, only stunts and actors are missing.

Murphy asked Seth Rogan to go to the makeup crew, and it wasn't long before Robert Downey Jr., dressed in Deadpool's uniform, walked into the studio with his two stunt doubles.

Robert Downey Jr., wearing that playful and cute red uniform and carrying a hood that looked a little exaggerated, approached Murphy's side and asked, "Is there anything else to pay attention to?" ”

Murphy glanced at the guy and said, "Take out 200 percent of your mouth cannon and poisonous tongue." ”

"Am I that kind of person?" Robert Downey Jr. seemed to be warming up, and said with an exaggerated expression, "Am I the one who puts the cannon indiscriminately?" When have I ever attacked someone with a poisonous tongue? Can't you just lump me into one type of person just because I took over the role of Deadpool, and that's unfair to me? When you think about it, when I was in prison, I shut up when you told me to shut up......"

"Stop! Stop! Murphy quickly interrupted him, "I still have to shoot, what do you have to say, go and talk to Seth." ”

Robert Downey Jr. has been playing tricks on the role of Deadpool lately, and is somewhat affected, as if he wants to say something, Murphy waved his hand, and Paul Wilson next to him hurriedly came over and pulled him away.

Watching Robert Downey Jr. walk to the set to familiarize himself with the move, Murphy shouts to Filipe Raschel, and the film crew begins to test shoot the set up in the studio so that he can find flaws that may have been overlooked.

The studio has a wall with a door, and the walls are surrounded by green screens so that other computer CG shots can be added in post, and if anyone who has seen X-Men comes to visit, they are sure to find some sense of déjà vu in the scene.

The filming is about to start is the scene where Deadpool asks for help from the X-Men, which is the base of the X-Men, that is, Xavier's School for Gifted Teens.

Because of the salary, it is impossible for Murphy to invite those well-known characters who have appeared in the "X-Men" series to make cameos, so using the previous setting, there are still two people here, Coulix and Black Spider.

The actors who played the two also appeared soon on the set, a Russian-American actor with a motion capture device on his body, and Colossus will use motion capture to shoot and produce; Another teenage actress with smoky makeup on her face similar to the overall style of the film, coupled with her short-cut hair, looks a bit exaggerated, which is recommended by James Franco Lily Collins.

Since it was James Franco who recommended him, Murphy certainly wouldn't refuse, and he wasn't very clear about how far the peculiar relationship between the two people had developed.

After all the departments were prepared, Murphy familiarized the actors with the position again, and then nodded to the field notes.

"Deadpool, Scene 1, Act 1......" The scene reporter put the sign in front of the camera lens, "Now on!" ”

On the set in front of the camera, Robert Downey Jr. had already put on a red hood, and when he heard the starting sound, he immediately ran towards the door, and he kept jumping and twisting his ass during the run, and his movements looked very playful and improper.

He jumped in a few steps to the half-walled door, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, when the door was pulled open by Lily Collins on the other side, looking up at Deadpool.

"Oh...... Are you Ripley from Alien 3? Robert Downey Jr. immediately said, "But your style is really old-fashioned, and it's too embarrassing for Old Ray!" ”

This is obviously taking advantage of Alien 3 and Ridley Scott.

Inside, Lily Collins gave him a middle finger and a few greetings to Deadpool that began with an "F" popped out of his mouth.

Robert Downey Jr. let out an even more exaggerated laugh, still in a variety of ways, "Just kidding, I mean you don't treat yourself too badly." If you have time, get a few more sunglasses and leather clothes, don't be the same as Neo. ”

He continued to speak venomously, "You X-Men have your own uniforms, why do you want to imitate Neo? ”

In the comics, the popular uniforms of the X-Men are not like those in the two "X-Men" movies, and there is widespread news in the market that "X-Men" designed the costumes as dark leather jackets, which is borrowed from the looks of many characters in "The Matrix".

"What are you going to do?" Lily Collins ignored these flirtatious words and asked directly, "What are you here for?" Want to have breakfast together? ”

"What's the point of having breakfast with you? If you want to eat, you have to be with the bald head in the wheelchair, is he not there? Is it back to the UK for a holiday. ”

Robert Downey Jr. suddenly patted his head and muttered in a low voice, "I forgot, "X-Men 3" went to Canada to shoot, and he definitely wasn't here." ”

Lily Collins looked confused.

Sitting in his director's chair, Murphy looked at the picture of the director's monitor, very satisfied with the performance of Robert Downey Jr., this role is too easy to show Robert Downey Jr.'s own characteristics, among the actors he has met so far, no one is more suitable for Deadpool than Downey.

In front of the camera, Robert Downey Jr. stopped talking and turned to the point, "That villain you let go, now that you have captured my girlfriend, you have to help me get my girlfriend back!" ”

Since it was a live recording, the actor involved in the motion capture shouted at this time, "Wade, is that you?" ”

"That's right, it's me!" Robert Downey Jr. tilted his head and looked inside the house, "Hear my reluctant request?" Don't refuse me, or you'll make this house explode again! ”

This is another meme of the X-Men, Xavier's School for Gifted Teens has been destroyed countless times in the comics in various ways.

With that, Robert Downey Jr. turned his head and broke the fourth wall once more. (To be continued.) )
