"But Murphy Stanton is working with Marvel Comics. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Diego Harris still has a big problem with this, and Marvel Comics and DC Comics have always been rivals.

Bruce Rosenblum laughed, "I see, he didn't have a good relationship with Marvel Comics and turned down Stan Lee's request for a cameo in Deadpool." ”

"If 'Deadpool' hits the global box office," Diego Harris knows what he's going to do, "and I support working with Murphy Stanton." ”

"That's what I thought too." Bruce Rosenblum added, "Let's look at the market changes in Deadpool first, and it's not too late to make a decision. ”

The subsequent development of the film market this weekend, just like the past Friday, has no suspense at all, whether it is the attendance rate and audience number, or word-of-mouth and film scheduling rate, "Deadpool" has completely exploded "Catwoman" on several streets.

In his office at the Warner Building in Burbank, Bruce Berman had a grim face, and the back of his hand holding the phone was bruised, as if his blood vessels would burst at any moment.

"Inform our production department," his voice was almost grim, "to cross out Halle Berry from the list of first-line collaborations, and all the heroines of Warner Bros. A-list productions will not be allowed to use Halle Berry in the future." ”

He added, "And director Pittofor, Warner Bros. is not allowed to work with him in the future." ”

The failure of "Catwoman" is irreversible, someone must be responsible for it, and the actors and directors are the best people to take the blame.

Bruce Berman never thought that the failure of the film had anything to do with him as a promoter, and that the failure was of course someone else's responsibility.

Almost at the same time, there was almost a consensus within the six major Hollywood companies that they could no longer risk using Halle Berry as the heroine of an A-grade blockbuster.

"That's how realistic Hollywood is."

When Murphy got the news, it was already Monday morning, and he looked at Gal Gadot, who had packed his backpack and was going back to school today, and said, "Even if you are an Oscar-winning actress, it is difficult to withstand such a painful blow." ”

"But that's not the case with other Oscar-winning actresses?" Gal Gadot was a little confused.

"Because they're not black." Murphy explained the mystery in one sentence, "They have more opportunities. ”

Gal Gadot walked over to the water cooler and picked up a glass of water for herself, "Halle Berry really can't play the heroine of a super-big production anymore?" ”

Murphy shook his head, "It's very difficult, except for the storm girl who has solidified her image, let alone the heroine, it will be difficult for her to appear in A-level big productions in the future." ”

Halle Berry's salary is here, it is impossible to reduce it casually, and now that "Catwoman" is messed up, no one will definitely ask her to be the heroine of an A-level production again, not the role of the heroine, and few crews are willing to spend such a high salary.

Turning his head to look at the wall clock on the wall, Gal Gadot reminded, "It's almost time, it's time for you to go." ”

Murphy nodded, walked over and kissed Gal Gadot's face, lifted the suitcase that had been placed in the hallway, pushed open the door, and Gal Gadot followed, sending him all the way into the garage.

Helping Murphy put away his luggage, Gal Gadol grabbed him and reminded, "Remember to call me every day." Also, eat on time every day, and don't use busy work as an excuse; Watch out for those crazy movie fans; Don't be too aggressive, and when it's time to be soft, don't be too tough......"

"Don't worry." Murphy hugged her and kissed her deeply, before getting into the car, "Goodbye, dear." ”

"Goodbye."

Watching Murphy drive away and go to the Los Angeles airport to start this overseas promotional journey, Gal Gadot stood at the garage door for a while, until the black Cadillac was completely gone, and then closed the garage door and went back to the main building.

There was no class in the morning, and she was not in a hurry to leave, so she sat on the sofa, picked up the newspaper on the coffee table, flipped to the entertainment page, and read it again.

It's full of good news about Murphy and Deadpool, and she never gets tired of watching it.

""Deadpool" easily topped the North American box office list, and "Catwoman" became cannon fodder after a poor start!"

Although he told Murphy not to be too aggressive, Gal Gadot saw this title, and an inexplicable joy rose in his heart, those who blocked her boyfriend's path would be swept away like garbage!

"Due to the weak firepower of the newly opened "Catwoman", the top of this week's list is still dominated by old films, and the R-rated superhero action film "Deadpool" directed by Murphy Stanton won another $45 million the next weekend, and won the weekend championship relatively easily, and the cumulative revenue of the film in two weeks is as high as 186.3 million US dollars, temporarily ranking first in this year's annual box office list!"

"Affected by "Deadpool", Warner Bros. produced and released "Catwoman" performed extremely poorly in the first weekend, only getting a seriously lower than expected $14.8 million in three days, and the North American box office is bound to fail to exceed $50 million, far from the production cost line of $100 million, and can only rely on overseas box office performance to try to recover the cost."

In addition, it is also a superhero movie, unlike the box office and word-of-mouth explosion of "Deadpool", "Catwoman" failed at the box office at the same time, and the word-of-mouth was also miserable, the film's theater audience score was D, and the popcorn finger dropped to 22%, and the audience's reputation was extremely poor. The film's media reviews all fell, and only 10 percent of the 78 media outlets included on the Rotten Tomatoes website gave the film a positive rating, with an average score of a measly 3.1 ......"

Even if he is a layman, Gal Gadot can see that "Catwoman" will no longer pose any threat to "Deadpool", this is not a film of the same grade at all.

Although Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. went to London to prepare for the upcoming European premiere of Deadpool, Twentieth Century Fox's marketing in North America continued, and the topic of the film was hot enough that they were still creating buzz in order to attract more passers-by to an audience.

"The cumulative box office of "Deadpool" in North America is close to 200 million US dollars, and the cute heroes dominate the North American film market in April!"

"Deadpool is the big box office winner in the North American market this year!"

Similar news and topics are constantly being thrown out by Twentieth Century Fox through the vast media platforms of its subsidiaries and group companies.

Carla Firth, who stayed in North America, was also interviewed and continued to throw out the news, saying that "Deadpool" became a box office winner, which was completely beyond the expectations of Twentieth Century Fox, and their original box office estimate for this film was only 60 million to 65 million US dollars, but what Murphy Stanton did made a qualitative change in the film!

However, the film's R-rated rating, high-density pornographic jokes and various fancy jokes also brought some trouble, and when Murphy arrived in the UK, he received the latest news from Twentieth Century Fox that the film was missing the Chinese market that Hollywood is vigorously developing.

This is not surprising, it is no wonder that "Deadpool" can pass the censorship of Big Scissors, even if Twentieth Century Fox stepped up public relations, this film has no hope of appearing on the Chinese screen, all the plot of the yellow storm elements, so how to get Big Scissors? You can't really cut a movie of more than 90 minutes into more than 10 minutes, right?

Of course, this is just Murphy's cranky when he is bored, and he did not expect "Deadpool" to enter the market across the Pacific through theatrical channels, and until now, all the films he has shot have not been released in theaters there.

Every country has its own situation, and Murphy doesn't feel much about the existence of big scissors, and film and cultural censorship are prevalent all over the world, and it's not exclusive to the other side of the Pacific.

These are not in Murphy's consideration for the time being, since he came to Europe to promote the film, he inevitably had to be interviewed.

The day after arriving in London, Murphy was interviewed by The Times.

The guys on Fleet Street aren't easy to deal with, and their first question is very poignant.

"Director Stanton, someone commented before," the young British journalist was unceremonious, ""Deadpool" can be a big hit, not because of the movie itself, but on some unpopular elements such as ****, foul language and yellow jokes. ”

"To say that 'Deadpool' makes money from dirt is an insult to the movie." Murphy knows what a British journalist is like, and he is not as reserved as he was in the United States when he was in the media, "Deadpool is a whole different kind of heroic story, and these stories only happen to Deadpool, unlike Superman, Spider-Man, Wolverine, etc. ”

He organized the language a little, "These people are born to be light, and Deadpool is born to die. To put it bluntly, not every superhero is suitable for pulling their bottoms down and stepping on bad temperance. ”

The reporter said, "Can you tell me more about it?" ”

"Let's talk about Wolverine in the same X-Men world, he has a violent personality and has been transformed into a killing machine, but Wolverine has and only rebels, in the movies and comics, most of the time, Wolverine's expression is only ......"

Murphy crossed his hands and made a classic Wolverine angry gesture, "Explosion, explosion, explosion of all kinds of show figures, the same is the destruction of the world, Wolverine is left after the fight, handsome, and windy." Deadpool, on the other hand, will kill himself and leave a middle finger for the world before he dies. ”

"This kind of humor of tearing himself apart and rubbing salt in the wound is the key to Deadpool's popularity." Murphy shrugged, "You know, for today's movie protagonists, self-blackening is the most economical way to accumulate fans. ”

The reporter didn't seem to expect Murphy to come up with such a theory, and was a little stunned.

This is not over, Murphy needs more news about "Deadpool" in the media on Fleet Street the next day, and said, "Most of Hollywood's mainstream commercial films can be classified as hero movies today, and there is always a hero who can save the world or other heroes, but there are too many such films made in Hollywood, and the audience is tired of the hero's routine, and the appearance of "Deadpool" has opened up a new world for the audience. As a director, I can responsibly say that from the first minute, the spoof of "Deadpool" to the last minute, the whole film is not on the right track, which is exactly what the audience loves the most now. ”

Whether this love can expand from North America to Europe depends on the performance of "Deadpool" after its overseas release. (To be continued.) )
