In fact, last weekend, Murphy and Gal Gadot entertained David Robbie and Margot Robbie in the manor, and there were some things that were not explicitly said by both parties, but they both knew that as long as Margot Robbie's audition effect was okay, they would definitely give priority to their own people, not only Murphy, but Hollywood directors are basically doing this. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Whether Margot Robbie thanked her in person or not, Murphy didn't care at all, not only did the two know each other for almost ten years, but she was also Gal Gadot's best friend and David Robbie's sister.

That's a joke.

But Gal Gadot replied very seriously, "She will thank you in person later, and now she is going to the Death Star Building, she said that the audition is over and then comes to us, and it will not affect well." ”

"Bad influence?" Murphy raised an eyebrow, "Maggie still cares about that. ”

Gal Gadot shrugged, "She's afraid it won't affect you well." ”

Murphy shook his head, "How could I care about that. ”

What's wrong with using your own people? In Hollywood, it is justified for directors to use their own people, and it is an unwritten rule recognized in the circle.

Taking Murphy's coffee cup and taking a sip gently, Gal Gadot turned to Murphy across from him, pulled out the swivel chair and sat down, and said, "You are a director, and you don't understand the difficulty of an actor's survival." ”

"Like you know a lot?" Murphy rolled his eyes deliberately.

Except for a temporary cameo in "Man of Steel" as Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot has never played any other roles at all.

Gal Gadot ignored Murphy's questions and continued, "An actor like Maggie, who is developing well, is easily ostracized by other actors. ”

Murphy nodded slightly, it was true.

Although Margot Robbie is not a big hit now, the role of the three fools has also made her name spread around the world, everyone knows what an actress like her can make a name for as soon as she enters Hollywood, most people in the circle know that she has a close relationship with Murphy's team, and there are even tabloids hyping that she and Gal Gadot are a gay couple.

Murphy has also seen these news, and the gossip lace of the tabloids has never been afraid of fakes.

For example, even today, there are tabloids hyping him and James Franco as gay, and Gal Gadot and Lily Collins are just a cover for the two of them.

The two spoke a few more words, and Gal Gadot stood up, "Carla got someone to ask Warner for help, see what they mean to Maggie and Harley Harleyn, this should have a result, I'll give Carla a call." ”

"Hmm." Murphy waved his hand.

Since he made a sky-high payment to Warner Bros. and DC Comics, he has basically cut ties with him, and it is said that it has been confirmed that Zack Schneider will continue to direct the future "Justice League" series.

Thinking of "Justice League", Murphy couldn't help but shake his head, he still can't reverse the direction of a supergiant like Warner Bros. alone.

He really doesn't know what the executives of Warner Bros. think, obviously the cards in their hands are much better than Marvel, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, the big three, when it comes to the popularity of Iron Man, Black Widow and Captain America, etc., the movies produced are not the same at all.

Because of "Man of Steel", Murphy has been paying attention to DC superhero series, especially "Batman v Superman".

With the super high box office brought by Superman and Batman's appeal in the first weekend, the film has now pushed the North American box office through $260 million, which seems to be a good result, but after the first weekend, the film's North American box office only rose by more than $80 million, only more than half of the first weekend box office, which looks quite embarrassing.

The lack of stamina of "Batman v Superman" is quite obvious, and anyone can see it, but compared with the declining box office, its reputation has plummeted all the way.

The freshness of "Batman v Superman" on Rotten Tomatoes has dropped to 28 percent, the Metacritic score is 39 points, the audience score is basically the same, and the IMDB score is only 7.2, the audience reputation is very unsatisfactory, and the media score is almost brutal.

As one of the most anticipated super blockbusters this year, this film can be regarded as a Hollywood first-line in terms of cast and behind-the-scenes production.

This is a painful lesson, especially for a director like Murphy, who focuses on commercial films and doesn't make regular popcorn films.

Now that there will be nothing to do, Murphy simply thought about the film, including this one and the previous one, the mistakes made in it, which are really worth being a wake-up call and reminding him not to make such mistakes.

First of all, Murphy has in mind adaptation, any Hollywood director will deal with adaptation of genre films, and adaptation must not be a simple copy of the original events or original work.

In this regard, "Batman v Superman" is typical.

In order to watch "Bat Super", the audience needs to read "The Death of Superman", "The Dark Knight Returns", "Kingdom of Heaven", "Injustice", "Superman: Red Son", "Justice League: Origins" and other DC comics, but then again, a super blockbuster that cost $250 million and was released in mainstream theaters turned out to be a collective carnival of niche fans, and I have to say that "Bat Super" did not consider the acceptance of ordinary audiences from the beginning.

Also, Warner Bros. has made and still made the mistake of being aggressive, and the director not only does not know how to adjust, but also makes the aggressive even more impatient.

Especially in the past, the reason why Warner Bros. and DC were in a hurry to launch the "Justice League" movie was naturally to fight to the end with the enemy Marvel: Aren't you in the third phase? Is there a civil war that will start for a long time? Okay, then I'll just make a "Bat Super" to catch up with all your previous progress, and our "Injustice" is also a comic of the Heroic Civil War, and it's all shoehorned into the script for me.

But having said that, Marvel started with "Iron Man" in 08, and it took eight years, more than a dozen movies, and a cinematic universe built in two stages, but DC wanted to use a "Bat Super Wars" to open the customs clearance, this ambition is no longer a fat man, it is simply a duck on the shelves.

So there is such a full version of the three-hour-long, compressed 5 comic book plots or more, and the 6 giants of the Justice League are all absent fan movies, such a huge and complex foreshadowing drama needs to be inserted in the feature film, and it is Zack Schneider, who is widely criticized in terms of narrative, you can imagine how the finished film will be scattered.

It's not that there's something wrong with Zack Snyder, it's that Warner Bros. didn't work with Zack Schneider in the right way.

Zack Snyder has always been a controversial director and a rare stylized director on the Hollywood assembly line. His personal style is mainly reflected in the sound and picture level - the high saturation of the color of the picture, the lyricism of large slow-motion passages, the narrative montage, and the comic storyboard composition are all the director's image labels.

In short, what the director shoots is more like a violent aesthetic comic, or a formal aesthetic MV, and the picture thinking takes precedence over the dramatic thinking, which leads to Zack Schneider's works are almost all postmodern formal scholars, genre film narrative scumbags.

Even Zack Schneider himself admits that he makes movies first and foremost from the perspective of comics, so he also uses the aesthetics of comics as much as possible in his films.

In this "Batman v Superman", Zack Snyder continued his unique image style - as soon as he needed a lyrical scene, Zack Snyder immediately turned on his firepower, slow motion, big close-ups, and time and space transitions bombarded in turns, and there was no one who was forced to be high.

For example, the slow motion of the unfortunate narrative of Bruce Wayne's house at the beginning of the film, the cross-montage of the media's heated debate, and the tragic and unusually superhuman state funeral at the end of the film are all unforgettable.

But once there is no background music, no slow motion, no montage, no exquisite composition stacked narrative, and no of the above formal elements for survival, Zack Schneider is powerless to shoot even the most basic positive and negative dialogues, coupled with the use of dreams, flashbacks, which are already a bit of a stream of consciousness to choreograph the foreshadowing drama, frequent time and space transformations seriously damage the coherence of the plot, directly leading to the story time, space too fluid, irretrievably resulting in an imbalance in the narrative rhythm and fragmented plot.

The other point is the most basic logic of the film, which is something that Murphy has been emphasizing, and may not be important in the eyes of some directors or editors.

The reason why Batman and Superman turned enemies into friends is really unconvincing, and it completely fails to meet the basic standard of "unexpected, reasonable" in the movie's transformation. ”

These are not Zack Schneider's problems, but more of a mistake by Warner's decision-makers.

They hired a formalist celebrity to play the narrative of genre films, and did not let him choose the script with his strengths and weaknesses, and Zack Snyder had to play himself in the narrative form rather than the narrative grammar.

Manga movies are no longer like they used to be, they are purely a niche subculture, and as the audience's tastes become more and more sophisticated, in addition to having visual effects to support the scenes, they must also try their best to break through the constraints of their own genres and bring a unique entertainment experience.

In addition, Warner Bros. limited the film PG-13, which greatly limited Zack Snyder's play.

But then again, with a $200 million investment in a film, it's impossible for any production company to have a director shoot and make it an R-rated film......

Thinking of this, Murphy shook his head, this is really an unsolvable problem, unless Warner Bros. makes a big effort, there will be no fundamental changes in the DC Comics hero movie.

The current DC series started very early, and it is still making mistakes......

In the past, the DC series actually didn't start too late, for example, Murphy himself thinks that "Batman: Time to War" is a good starting point. (To be continued.) )
