In a comedy film, there will not be any strict requirements for the actors' performances, and comedians will often perform in a very exaggerated way, which can also add points to the film. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But Murphy's role is the opposite.

"If the performances of Stanton's party members are all adding points to the film, then Murphy Stanton, as the leader of the party, is obviously dragging his feet, and he has at least lowered the rating of this film by 0.5 points."

A comment from IMDB is very pertinent and can be said to hit the nail on the head.

"Although the role played is a natural stay and does not require much effort and good acting skills, Murphy Stanton has not completed his task at all."

On major film and television websites, fans are basically complaining about the role of Murphy's groom Doug.

"Seeing Murphy's role, it really makes people play in minutes."

"I guess Murphy can win next year's golden sour plum, right?"

Not only ordinary fans, but even Murphy's fans are complaining about his first movie role, and there are many similar voices in the Murphy Stanton discussion section on IMDB.

"Murphy is really not suitable to be an actor, he has no expression in the whole process, like a piece of wood, especially when he stands with the bride played by the agile Gal Gadot, it feels terrible."

"There's no harm if there's no contrast, and as good as Murphy is at directing, he's as bad at acting."

Even, there is media hype, "Murphy Stanton appeared in the film "The Hangover" as an actor, not only did not play a positive role, but because of his poor performance, it will at least pull down the North American box office of about $10 million......"

In any way, Murphy's first film role was not a success, and he had neither experienced professional learning nor outstanding talent in this area, and such a performance was actually normal.

Fortunately, his role is limited, and he is basically a cameo, and his impact on the whole film is not great, and the gimmick of Stanton's party members collectively starring is still quite attractive.

On the weekdays after the first weekend, "The Hangover" performed well, earning about $10 million a day, and by the time the second weekend came, the North American box office had accumulated nearly $100 million.

Such a performance can be said to have surprised everyone, no one could have imagined that such an ordinary-looking comedy movie could get such an excellent North American box office.

But the unexpected is yet to come.

At the end of the second weekend, "The Hangover" fell by only 25 percent at the weekend box office, and took another $40 million from North America, which easily exceeded the $100 million mark at the North American box office, which made everyone in the Hollywood industry fall to the ground.

No matter how you look at it in advance, it is impossible for a movie like "The Hangover" to have such beautiful results with common sense. The reason is very simple, the plot is cliché, Las Vegas, drunken trouble, pre-wedding bachelorette party, amnesia, these elements have been played and played in countless movies......

As a result, all the media attributed the biggest reason for "The Hangover" to one thing - the Stanton party!

"In addition to Hollywood's 'rotten boys', the 'Stanton party' has also become a team combat force that cannot be ignored!"

As the largest investor and producer of "The Hangover", Murphy also gave an interview to media reporters, "The audience has as much fun watching the movie as we did when we were filming, and I couldn't be happier to see that." The response to the film was overwhelming, and I want to thank all the people in front of and behind the scenes, my friends and Twentieth Century Fox. ”

Meanwhile, five weeks after its release, the film became the highest-grossing R-rated comedy in film history with $238.9 million, replacing the previous 25-year record holder for "Beverly Hills" with $234.58 million.

No one expected the film to set this record, and the word-of-mouth praise did not weaken, and this momentum also spread to the market that North America thought it would be.

Limited by the type of film, "The Hangover" can be released in a limited number of overseas countries and regions, but it has performed well in the market, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated comedy in North America, and the overseas box office has easily exceeded 100 million US dollars, and the global box office has added up to 350 million US dollars.

Compared with the film's production cost of only $30 million, the box office of "The Hangover" can indeed only be described as a super hit.

The super hit of this film has also made the Stanton Party really a team organization known to North American movie fans, except for Murphy, other people's coffee positions have also taken a big step forward, especially Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, who are relatively less famous in the team, have naturally become star-level figures.

Not to mention the real beneficiaries of the Stanton party who were frantically hyped by the media, even Michael Tyson, who made a cameo appearance in the film, swept away the previous decline.

Due to the indulgence of his previous life, coupled with lawsuits in recent years, Michael Tyson Tyson has squandered nearly $300 million in 20 years, and he still owes a lot of debt, and when he declared bankruptcy before participating in "The Hangover", Michael Tyson only had more than 5,000 dollars left in his account.

During the shooting, Michael Tyson once said: "For money, I can fight anyone, even with a lion." ”

Now he can't move, so he has to find another way to make a living, and entering the entertainment industry is relatively a good way to "get something for nothing".

Murphy is also asking Stanton Studios to look at Michael Tyson's residual value, intending to invest in a documentary about Michael Tyson if there is indeed market potential.

During this time, the dividends of Man of Steel were paid, and Murphy completed the transaction for the Flower of Leith, officially becoming the owner of the super estate.

"When are you going to move in?"

In the office on the floor of the CAA of the Death Star Building, Bill Rothes looked at Murphy, who was sitting opposite, and asked with concern, "Is there anything I need help with?" ”

"Contact a professional renovation team." Murphy was also polite, "Let them go to Gail." ”

Just like the previous plan, after the 'Flower of Leith' is in hand, Murphy will not move there for the time being, but will make appropriate decoration adjustments, he will not care about this aspect, and all will be handed over to Gal Gadot to be responsible, except for a few places specially instructed by Murphy, the manor will be sorted out according to Gal Gadot's ideas.

Bill Rothes didn't shy away from it, saying, "CAA has a company that specializes in working with, and I'll be in touch with them in the afternoon." ”

Murphy nodded, I have to say that with a brokerage company like CAA, many troubles in life will become simpler, and the broker's service is not only the brokerage business, but also the needs of customers in all aspects.

To this day, Murphy is still working with CAA and has no idea of ending the contract between the two parties, which is arguably an extremely important reason.

Not every Hollywood agency can provide such a thoughtful and comprehensive service to its clients.

"By the way, did someone from the Writers Guild contact you?" Bill Rothes changed the subject.

Murphy nodded, "One of their representatives called me the day before yesterday. ”

"You didn't promise anything, did you?" Bill Rothes asked.

"No, until it's clear......," Murphy wasn't so stupid, "I'd better be a bystander." ”

At the end of this year and the beginning of next year, a series of contracts signed by the Producers Union and Hollywood's major trade associations are about to expire, and the current turmoil in Hollywood is likely to brew the worst general strike since 1988, especially the Writers Guild, which wants to take the opportunity to completely change the role of screenwriters in Hollywood's production process and profit-sharing.

Murphy is also a member of the Writers Guild, and after "Man of Steel" became famous, the Writers Guild certainly would not let go of such members.

But Murphy is not just a screenwriter, so naturally he is not stupid enough to be a gunman for the Writers Guild.

As we all know, screenwriters have a relatively low status in the Hollywood system, and their income is limited compared to several other unions, and except for a few gold medal screenwriters, the vast majority of screenwriters cannot enjoy the film's DVD and other revenue sharing.

The uneven distribution of benefits is arguably the biggest reason for the imminent outbreak of this strike.

According to the last agreement between the Writers Guild and the Producers Alliance, the six major studios paid a minimum of $106,000 for original scripts, and the major television networks offered about $21,000 for prime-time comedies and $31,000 for prime-time dramas.

Many screenwriters earn much more than that, with major studios paying at least hundreds of thousands of dollars for movie scripts, while well-known screenwriters may earn $1 million per film.

The average Hollywood screenwriter earned $200,000 a year last year, which is already high compared to the average annual income of Los Angeles County residents, as well as most Americans.

Screenwriters' eyes certainly don't look down, they are staring at actors, directors and producers, and when screenwriters compare their earnings with those of actors, directors and directors of film and television companies, they will naturally find the interest of large salary increases.

According to the Writers Guild, the revenue increase rate of the association's screenwriters is less than half the profit increase rate of the entertainment industry as a whole, and many screenwriters also complain that they are dispensable in the eyes of large companies.

This time, the Writers Guild's eyes are on new media revenue, the most prominent of which is the percentage of dividends from DVDs and online on-demand.

As we all know, the DVD market in the United States and the emerging online pay-per-demand are quite large, how can the major film and television companies behind the producer alliance easily compromise.

This strike is bound to happen.

Strictly speaking, Murphy's position is more towards the Producers' League, so he won't get involved easily.

The two discussed this topic for a while, and Bill Rothes suddenly remembered something and said, "An old friend of yours has been injured, supposedly more serious, and has been admitted to California Medical College. (To be continued.) )
