Chapter 252: Find yourself a sword hanging over your head
Although many of the stalks used to be unusable due to the times, Murphy's plan, the tone of the film will not change, "Deadpool" must not only satisfy fans of the original comics, but also please the mainstream audience, and from time to time break the fourth wall and shout directly to the audience, while laughing at the concept of superheroes, while not forgetting to joke about celebrities and all kinds of messy events in North America.

In the storyboard that Murphy has already drawn, Deadpool can be seen using lip balm soon after the opening, because there is a famous meme in the "Deadpool" comics, he has put a band-aid on Wolverine, which can be described as full of emotion.
Just like Robert Downey Jr. mentioned him and Leonardo DiCaprio, since the actor has changed, of course, those memes about the Green Lantern Corps will not work, but Robert Downey Jr. can completely tease himself in the film.
Before the bed. The stalk is a ridicule of the "Star Wars" series, there will be such a scene in the script, when Deadpool and Vanessa are intimate, Vanessa will say ride me like Master Yoda riding on Luke's back, Wade replied that this is a joke of "Star Wars", and the heroine said that it was "The Empire Strikes Back".
And the bed at this time. on, the cheap is holding the heroine Vanessa from behind? Carlistr.
Of course, there are also teasing of other superheroes, such as the little spider who is tied to the other name of the two mouthed cannons.
Also, Murphy took James Franco's suggestion to add a little bit about Batman.
For example, when Deadpool describes his relationship with the landlady - we are like Batman and Robin, except that she is older and darker, and she still loves me. Wait, I'm pretty sure Robin loves Batman too!
Murphy also does not give up the opportunity to laugh at himself, Deadpool will break the fourth wall and shoot directly at him as a director, such as directing superhero movies for the first time and no experience will be less.
Several people discussed it until late, and when Bill Rothes left, he specially reminded Murphy, "Finalize the script as soon as possible, the guarantee company has been waiting, and our project still needs financing!" ”
Twentieth Century Fox adopted a financing investment method, and the guarantee of the completion of the film is indispensable.
"I know." Murphy certainly knows this.
Sending the people away, he returned to the backyard, which was not a mess, but there was also a lot of garbage, and Gal Gadot was standing by the pool, holding a clip with a long handle, cleaning up the peels that had fallen on the ground.
"Hey, dear."
Murphy asked her to come over on the weekend to relax, but not to be a maid for herself, so she hurriedly walked over and snatched the clip from her hand, "Don't worry about this, someone from the housekeeping company will come to clean it up tomorrow." ”
"Let's take away the peels first," said Gal Gadot, picking up the garbage bag next to him and walking to the table, eating the rest of the peels as he ate them, "It's still hot, and it will taste bad tomorrow." ”
She turned to look at Murphy, "Do you want our backyard to become a stinking dump?" ”
"Of course not." Murphy also walked over to help.
The two of them were busy for less than ten minutes, simply cleaned up the backyard, and walked back to the main building together, on the way over, Gal Gadot kept looking down and thinking, and seemed to have encountered some troubles.
Gal Gadot first took Murphy to the bathroom on the first floor to wash his hands, and when they went upstairs together, Murphy saw her strange appearance and couldn't help asking, "Honey, do you have something on your mind?" ”
"I just arrived in Los Angeles," Gal Gadot complained, "and you're leaving." ”
"I'm just going to Australia to shoot and I'll be back soon, and I'm going to have to wait two months." Murphy took her hand and whispered comfortingly, "The shooting is two months at most, and I will come back on weekends and holidays." ”
Gal Gadot just complained, knowing Murphy's dedication and appreciating him, and immediately shook his head, "I'll go to you then." ”
Murphy wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed Gal Gadot lightly on the cheek.
Over the next two days, he quickly finalized the script after gathering a lot of suggestions, and then, together with Carla Firth, met with the people from the Finishing Guarantee Company.
In the previous three films, the crew also introduced the completion guarantee, but Murphy is more of a pure director, except for knowing the representative of the guarantor stationed in the crew and working together with the other party quite harmoniously, he has not actually participated in the process of introducing the completion guarantee of the crew, and this time he simply accompanied Carla Firth to complete this work.
In Hollywood, art and science together cast the prosperity of this industry, business computing needs the support of science, especially in the discovery and mining of data in Hollywood is a weapon for business success, since the birth of Hollywood, market research began to establish, the accumulated data and the resulting evolution of the tools is a strong cornerstone of the Hollywood industry.
According to market research, the producer will determine the investment in the film, and then raise funds from the outside world, and the investor will inevitably use certain supervision measures to ensure the real use of the investment, and the guarantee system for the completion of the film is undoubtedly the most powerful guarantee.
Hollywood's film industry has long evolved from the form of operation and craftsmanship to the high-tech era of large-scale industrialization, and the industrialization of production management has naturally come into being.
In fact, there is a text system for the management of film production in Hollywood, and everyone will act in accordance with this production system, and the guarantee of completion is a rigid need of Hollywood, and it is part of the entire production system.
Production is the starting point of the entire film industry chain, and the completion guarantee is a special division of labor that embodies industrialization in production management.
The crew of "Deadpool" introduced the American insurance company AIA, which provides not only the producer with the completion guarantee service, but also the investment institutions such as banks and funds.
In Hollywood, for all production companies, the support of the completion guarantee is the key to financing from the bank or fund, and even determines whether the overseas distribution company will provide pre-sale financing to the producer.
Murphy is no exception, he has become accustomed to this system in Hollywood.
When the two parties signed the agreement, it was stipulated that during the filming in Australia, the representatives of the guarantee company would communicate with Murphy and Carla Firth every day or meet or call to determine the shooting plan for the next day, and it would be sent to all departments and personnel of the crew the night before, so as to ensure that the shooting plan for the next day was in order, and would not waste money due to waste of time.
Of course, not all film projects can be guaranteed by insurance companies, and it is not uncommon for Hollywood to have unreliable film projects that have died, and if there is a problem with a project, it will be a very big trouble for the insurance company.
Just as Hollywood studios review investment projects, every commercial company will not easily let go of the green light for commercial activities, let alone guarantee a project based on just one script.
In order to obtain the support of AIA so that the crew could pre-sell and finance as soon as possible, Murphy and Carla Firth submitted a series of basic documents to AIA to evaluate the project.
The first is the final script that has been finalized, which is the premise of the crew's shooting.
After submitting the application and confirming the script, unless the director and the investor reach a consensus on major changes during the filming process, it can only be slightly changed, similar to the project of the king of sunglasses that starts shooting without a script, it is impossible to obtain a guarantee for the completion of the film, but the king of sunglasses to make a film in Hollywood also needs to have a script first.
The second is the budget table for online and offline costs, for which Murphy's plan was developed, and Twentieth Century Fox made some revisions based on it.
The third is the 20-100 day shooting plan, which is too short and too long to control the risk, and it is difficult to pass the internal audit of the insurance company.
Hollywood film shoots generally take between 30 and 80 days, and the shooting plan provided is very accurate to ensure that the shooting is accurate, and for investors, the overdue and overrun of the plan may cause the project to become unrecognizable in the final financial books, which of course means that the investment risk increases sharply.
Murphy's plan was to shoot in two months, and that was no problem.
Finally, it's about the shooting budget.
The more detailed the budget table during the filming period, the more conducive it is for the completion guarantee company to evaluate the reasonableness of the project, and the completion guarantee company will compare the daily report during the shooting period to supervise the implementation of the project, if there is any change, the completion guarantee company will first communicate with the producer and director how to complete the plan in the rest of the shooting.
However, if the problem is very serious and the contradictions are irreconcilable, the guarantor of the completion of the film will freeze the condominium bank account or even take over the entire project.
Due to the very good preparation of Murphy and Carla Firth, and the fact that "Deadpool" was a project from Twentieth Century Fox, the crew soon signed a formal agreement with the American insurance company AIA.
Probably because of his personal involvement, Murphy looked at this agreement very, very seriously for the first time, especially the links that would have a significant impact on him as a director.
During the filming of "Deadpool", the completion guarantor will send a representative to the crew to supervise the scene, and the producer and director team must submit daily reports, crew-related information and the next day's shooting plan every day, and the completion guarantor will check whether it is consistent with the plan to ensure that the expected goals and settings are carried out.
According to the agreement between the two parties, in order to effectively implement the plan on schedule and budget for Carla Firth's production department and Murphy's creative department, the completion guarantee company will establish a joint bank co-management account with the crew, and the investment funds of the pre-seller and the investor will be credited to the co-management account according to the agreement after the completion guarantor confirms the performance of the producer.
In the event that Murphy and Carla Firth overspend and overdue behaviors that violate the plan and endanger the interests of investors, the completion guarantor has the right to freeze the account and take over the film in accordance with the completion guarantee agreement, including replacing the director and producer to complete the delivery of the film to the distribution company, and bear the costs required to complete the film after the takeover, so as to protect the interests of investors.
Of course, this situation is only the bottom line of the completion guarantee agreement, and the completion guarantee party will not exercise it unless it must be triggered.
With this kind of supervision of producers and crews, Hollywood has no shortage of investment.
Murphy and Carla Firth seem to have found a sword of Damocles for their crew, but in fact they have erected a guarantee of investment, this is a realistic business society, no one's money is blown by the wind, and investors are not stupid. (To be continued.) )
