Chapter 376: Comedy Project

Hearing Murphy's words, Daisy's eyes immediately lit up, she mailed so many letters, but there was no reply, so many thoughts could not communicate with her idol, disappointment was inevitable, but now she has such a good opportunity, can she tell those thoughts to Murphy in person, is there anything more joyful than this?

"Murphy, I love your movies so much. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Talking about her thoughts, Daisy immediately calmed down and became very organized, "Especially the Saw series, I like it very, very much. ”

Murphy couldn't help but glance at her, a young girl likes such large-scale movies, even in North America, which is rare.

Instead of interjecting, though, he told her to keep going and see what she wanted to say.

The excitement on Daisy's face turned to calm, and the calm was gradually replaced by fanaticism, "After watching the movie, I had a lot of ideas and thought of some ways to make people's deaths more brutal and exciting, and I think it might help the series." ”

"For example, I read a book about torture in ancient China, with a red-hot copper pillar on it that can burn prisoners into charcoal. ”

Is this the idea that a young and beautiful girl should have? Murphy looked at the girl across from him in surprise.

I wanted to say these things in my heart for too long, and when I said it now, Daisy was like a flood finding a flood outlet, "Also, you can bury a person in the ground and let him expose the position above his chest......"

"Daisy!" Murphy couldn't help but interrupt her and said casually, "Your idea is interesting. ”

"Really?" Daisy didn't even hear Murphy being perfunctory, and said, "As long as I can help you, I can come up with more and more interesting ways to kill." ”

Murphy frowned slightly, this girl didn't seem to be as simple as it seemed, thought for a moment, and said, "That's it, Daisy." I'm busy today, so I'm going to get back to your Stanton studio email address, and you can email me if you have any ideas. ”

"Really?" This was completely beyond Daisy's expectations, and the frenzy was mixed with some excitement, "Great! I'll be sure to send you an email. ”

Murphy nodded, gave the staff member who was following him, and left.

Daisy got an email address from the staff, looked at Murphy's back, and felt unusually tall and excited, can her whimsical ideas finally appear on the big screen?

Thinking of those strange murder methods, her hand holding the note trembled.

The leader of the discussion group, Daisy, was definitely the one who impressed Murphy the most tonight, but the next day he had forgotten about it, and there was so much work to do lately that it was impossible to be distracted by something that he didn't really care about at all.

First of all, a variety of peripheral products of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" were officially launched in North America, with cultural shirts, mugs, dolls and a variety of products appearing in many store markets and e-commerce pages in North America.

In addition, a number of manufacturers have also sought relevant licenses from Stanton Studios and Twentieth Century Fox's Ice and Fire Studios.

From the end of June to the middle of July, in more than half a month, various merchandise plus North American licensing, "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" in North America received a total of nearly 50 million US dollars.

The cost of this part of the income is not high, and the profit margin is intimidating.

With the help of this popularity, in late July, Twentieth Century Fox officially released the first season of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" set DVD through its own channels, which in addition to ten episodes of the TV series, also included more than 60 minutes of behind-the-scenes videos, part of the content preview of the second season, Westeros Continent Strategy, Night Watch Insider and so on.

This regular version of the DVD set costs up to $39, and there is also a deluxe Blu-ray set that costs up to $99.

Murphy is well aware that DVD sales of TV series can't compete with Hollywood's super-bests, but in its first week of release in North America, the DVD still sold 1.65 million units and sold $60 million.

This is just a week's worth of sales, not counting subsequent sales and DVD rentals.

According to Twentieth Century Fox's most conservative estimates, the first season of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" will bring in more than $100 million in revenue for the producers on North American DVD alone.

At the same time, "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" also landed on the Hulu video website just established by Twentieth Century Fox, like this kind of TV series that focuses on cable channels, because of the relationship between paying users, it is very conducive to attracting high-end brands, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, Chanel, Dior, Microsoft and Samsung are all advertisers of this series, which can bring tens of millions of dollars in advertising revenue.

At this point, no one questioned the ability of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" to attract money, and Vanity Fair magazine even praised it, "Probably no TV series is as profitable as Game of Thrones for its TV network." With just one season paying off well and becoming a global phenomenon, this fantasy masterpiece is a beautiful yet extremely successful gamble by Murphy Stanton. ”

Before you know it, Murphy's Stanton Studios has taken a whopping $100 million from the first revenue share of A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones.

This not only allowed Stanton Studios to recoup the high cost of its investment, easily pay off David Ellison's loan, but also made a large profit.

"A large amount of money is pressed in the hand, and there is no use except depreciation."

On a cruise ship off the coast of California, Murphy sat under a sun umbrella on the top deck and said to a couple of fox friends, "So the best way is to invest as soon as possible." ”

"Murphy has a point!" David Ellison, who borrowed the yacht, said, "The dollar is depreciating as fast as the World Trade Center is collapsing." ”

Jonah Hill, James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Robert Downey Jr. let out a hearty laugh that drew the women not far away, and Carla Firth walked back with the likes of Gal Gadot, Megan Ellison, and Susan Downey and sat down at a table under a large umbrella nearby.

"Congratulations, Kara!" James Franco was the first to lift the beer can to Carla Firth.

Robert Downey Jr. also said, "What's it like to be a director of production? ”

"It must be very good." Jonah Hill said.

Seth Rogan shook his head, "The pressure has gotten higher. ”

"Stop talking nonsense." Murphy also held up a beer can to Carla Firth, "Regardless, Carla becoming production director is good news for us. ”

David Ellison wasn't the original chick either, echoing, "Good news, of course. ”

He tentatively asked Kara Firth, "Is your department short of production funding?" If so, consider my Sky Cinema Foundation. ”

"I will." Kara Firth nodded earnestly.

She has a similar opinion to Murphy, and David Ellison at this stage is definitely a quality film investor.

Everyone had a drink together, and Gal Gadot suddenly spoke, "Don't be busy congratulating you, let's help Kara think about how to solve the current problem first." ”

"What's the problem?" Robert Downey Jr. asked curiously, "Can you stump our strong woman?" ”

"The latest task I faced in my tenure was forced down from above." Carla Firth didn't hide it either, and said directly, "The box office results and word-of-mouth response of X-Men 3: Last Stand are seriously lower than expected, and the entire series may face a collapse, and I must revitalize the series in the next two to three years." ”

The poor reputation of "X-Men 3: Last Stand" and the significantly lower than expected North American and global box office results are well known, which is the direct reason why Carla Firth can take over as production director, but it is easy for a series to suck down, but it is very difficult to win back the hearts and minds of audiences.

Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill, who have always been talkative, were silent at the same time, knowing full well that such a problem was beyond their means.

James Franco was drinking his beer to himself, knowing he couldn't help at all.

Seth Rogen, on the other hand, pondered what he would do if he was the director or producer of the series.

David Ellison shook his head, investing in him in the line and revitalizing the word-of-mouth in the rotten movie series, he is a layman.

Everyone's eyes finally fell on Murphy, and now the best box office and word-of-mouth movie in the "X-Men" series is "Deadpool" directed by him.

"The next X-Men movie can be considered to overturn the current trilogy and reinvent it." Murphy thought for a moment and said to Carla Firth, "You'd better get Brian Singh back, the new work doesn't follow the current setting, focus on Charles and Eric's youth, tell some stories that happened when they were young, and let mutants bring into the historical events of the past that had a huge impact, such as whether the Cuban Missile Crisis is related to mutants?" Was John F. Kennedy assassinated by Magneto? Doesn't that bullet have a very strange trajectory? It's very much in line with Magneto's setting......"

After listening to Murphy's explanation, Robert Downey Jr. was the first to nod and say, "It seems to be very good." ”

Carla Firth's eyes sparkled with thought, "It's really good. ”

David Ellison also came to interest, "I can provide financial support. ”

"I'm sorry, David." Carla Firth shook her head firmly, "After Deadpool, Twentieth Century Fox no longer agrees in principle with foreign funds meddling in its ace series. ”

"David, do you want to invest?" Murphy suddenly spoke, "I have a comedy project. (To be continued.) )
