While waiting for Twentieth Century Fox to review it, Murphy was not idle, in addition to continuing to follow the progress of Rose's case, he further polished the script, while summoning the likes of Fili Raschel, Helena Espora and David Robbie to refine the preliminary plan that was developed.

This team, built over the years, can be said to be one of the keys to Murphy's ability to produce a film with quality and quantity.

At the same time, Murphy also asked Bill Rothes to find actors suitable for several main roles in the film, especially those who fit the leading role.

According to Murphy's requirements, this character has serious psychological problems, and while fighting against sin, he also has to contend with the dark other side of his heart, and the actor must show a unique gloomy temperament under his handsome and resolute appearance.

Many people always say that pulling an actor to apply to a role will have the same effect in the end, but people who know about filmmaking know very well that this is purely a joke, too many roles have specific requirements, and it is by no means something that can be done by just finding an actor.

Like Murphy's request, Hollywood is not unique, but it's also rare.

However, it's still early, the crew has not yet been established, and he has time to find this kind of actor.

As for the other roles, you can first examine suitable targets, and then when the crew is formed, send them an invitation to audition.

Overall, the main cast of the film also needs a realistic cop, a strong villain, and a vase-like heroine.

Compared to the male lead, these are not difficult to find.

Murphy was busy until early June, when Kara Firth came to find him.

"Why are you getting thinner again?"

Seeing Carla Fez, Gal Gadot looked surprised, circled around her, took Carla Fez's hand, and said, "Carla, have you found a new way to shape your body?" Tell me! ”

"Honey." Carla Firth said helplessly, "I've been so busy lately that I can only sleep a few hours a day, and that's how I've lost weight. ”

Even in the suit, Murphy could tell that Carla Firth had lost a certain amount of weight.

He shook his head and said to the two women who pursued no limit to thinness, "If you control your diet and lose weight, you will only be left with skin and bones." ”

A few years ago, in order to match the image of Wonder Woman during the filming of "Man of Steel", Gal Gadot deliberately added nearly twenty pounds of muscle, but after playing Wonder Woman, she immediately began to lose weight and slim down, and now she has returned to that skinny appearance.

Carla Firth has always been thin, and since he met her, Murphy has never seen Carla Firth eat high-calorie food.

Since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Gal Gadol pulled Carla Firth for a long time and insisted that she stay in the manor for dinner.

Gal Gadot tells the butler to go to the kitchen for the chef to prepare dinner, while Murphy chats with Carla Firth about the progress of the new film project.

"Overall, the progress has been fairly smooth." Carla Firth took the glass of water from Gal Gadot, smiled and thanked him, and continued to speak to Murphy, "But there are also doubts within the audit committee. ”

Gal Gadot poured Murphy a cup of coffee and sat down next to him, "Doubts, why?" ”

According to what she saw, Hollywood is very realistic, and directors like Murphy, who have not failed in their past works, will basically not encounter difficulties in review, and it is not only the business world that superstitious people who will continue to succeed, but even more so Hollywood.

"The subject matter of the film." Kara Firth bluntly stated, "Some people think that crime action movies are outdated, and it's too risky to shoot this genre now, especially if the investment is too big." ”

Murphy shrugged, "This isn't your average crime action movie. ”

It is normal for some people at Twentieth Century Fox to have concerns, the most glorious period of crime action films was in the nineties of the last world, when a large number of classic crime action films appeared, and since the beginning of the new century, this type of film has gradually declined, and now there are basically no films of this genre among the top ten films that sell big movies in North America every year.

"Can't you pass the audit?" Gal Gadot asked with concern.

If she can't pass the review of Twentieth Century Fox, she will find other film companies to work with, and she believes that Murphy's films will not have to worry about finding investors and distribution companies.

"Of course not." Carla Firth shook her head, "There are more people in the company who support Murphy, and project approval is not a problem. ”

If a bastard like the audit committee really vetoed the project, she would have found a way to get them all fired.

Murphy could discern that there was something else in Carla-Fez's words and asked, "Have other questions?" ”

"It's mostly investment." Carla Firth didn't mean to beat around the bush in front of Murphy, and said directly, "And your compensation, the company's board of directors has doubts about this aspect, and it is difficult to accept the conditions you made for Warner Bros. ”

Even with her relationship with Murphy, she thinks that the 30% total revenue share is definitely an insatiable lion with a huge mouth......

"That's a condition for Warner Bros." Murphy laughed, "Just let your people talk to Bill." ”

To treat Warner Bros. as much as he can, of course, it doesn't matter if he can't, and it won't disrupt the original plan.

He has already communicated with Bill Rothes in this regard, and the share of the new film is about 25% of the box office and DVD, TV and Internet copyright revenue, and the specific Bill Rothes can be discussed with the producer in detail.

Carla Firth was relieved, and the project would be finely fine.

Gal Gadot did not ignore Carla Fez's words, "Are there still problems with investment?" ”

She will be the producer and executive producer of this project, so naturally she will have to think about Murphy and the project as a whole.

"The $200 million investment Murphy is asking for is too high."

In fact, there is no need for Gal Gadot to ask, and Carla Firth will take the initiative to explain, "The audit committee believes that $150 million is enough for such a project. ”

Gal Gadot glanced at Murphy, $200 million is, of course, an inflated production cost, and the $150 million investment is basically in line with Murphy's requirements.

Non-sequels and non-adaptations of big-budget original productions have never been popular with producers in Hollywood, and a crime action genre that looks a little outdated, even if it is a $150 million investment, Twentieth Century Fox is probably looking at the director's golden signboard of Murphy, not the so-called original script.

Such an investment is exactly what Murphy expected, but it also means that it is impossible to afford to hire a super-star actor.

Of course, Murphy didn't think about using a Hollywood A-list star like Robert Downey Jr. in the first part of the series.

In addition to the Stanton partisans, with that contact with Leonardo DiCaprio, Murphy's desire to work with the superstar has also faded.

He sees very clearly that he is in this Hollywood game of fame and fortune, and he must no longer use his former likes and dislikes as the standard for cooperating with star actors.

"However, the source of funding for the investment can be a bit of a problem." Carla Firth said, "The company's top brass wanted me to say hello to you in advance. ”

"Huh?" Murphy wondered, "It can't be an improper source of funds, right?" ”

Although in this era, Hollywood's operations are very standardized, but it is not without examples of this, for example, Leonardo DiCaprio was involved in a money laundering scandal.

In fact, the film industry has always been one of the easiest channels for money laundering, even today.

Funds without legal sources can be easily laundered by investing in films, and in the process of investing in films, there will be a lot of cash outlays as well as some expenses that are very difficult to quantify and compare, such as props, sets, special effects.

In the process of filming, many of these props are consumed or damaged, which is normal, and if the movie is released and brings good box office revenue, these are normal operating income brought by investment.

Thinking of this, Leonardo DiCaprio, who has been gradually forgotten by Murphy, jumped into his mind again, although Leonardo DiCaprio was yin on the Oscar nomination, and it can be regarded as revenge for the other party's support for Jordan Belfort, but it is also a good thing to be able to block Leonardo DiCaprio within the legal range.

He remembers very well that on one occasion when talking about the pending Jordan Belfort lawsuit, Robert had said that Leonardo DiCaprio's charitable foundation was working with people and money from Southeast Asia.

Charitable funds are also commonly used channels for money laundering, which is also related to the laws and regulations of the United States, and American-style charitable funds have two characteristics: one is that according to Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, charitable funds can enjoy tax deductions; Second, in the United States, there is no law that sets out the proportion of charitable funds, and charitable funds can avoid the scrutiny of the specific amount and method of charity.

That is, even without charitable activities, charitable funds can make profitable investments and directly turn money into surplus.

I vaguely remember that Leonardo DiCaprio's money laundering scandal is related to people and funds in Southeast Asia.

Well...... It can make people pay more attention to this aspect of things.

Murphy has his own calculations, and since Leonardo DiCaprio is the first to strike, he certainly can't help but fight back.

It's hard for Leondo DiCaprio to pay too much for such rumors, but it's still possible for him to make his path to the Oscar for Best Actor longer.

"What do you want?" Carla Firth's words interrupted Murphy's thoughts, "Would I let that money flow into your project?" ”

Murphy shrugged and smiled.

Carla Firth added, "There is an investment from China, which is good for the film to enter the Chinese market. (To be continued.) )
