In front of the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, there was a lot of noise, and countless fans wearing red hoods were like terrorists, blocking the red carpet around the theater, but no one thought they would be a threat, because they were dressed as Deadpool, the weird character who has been hot in recent times and has a thick skin that has no bottom line.

Murphy walked through the red carpet early to the interview area in front of the theater, standing side by side with Robert Downey Jr. for an interview with reporters.

"Deadpool was always rude, impatient and clumsy, a bit of a psychopath, and these traits were in his bones."

When asked by a reporter what he thought of Deadpool's crazy behavior, Murphy replied, "So everyone else seems more normal than Deadpool, so I have to divide him like a madman." ”

A reporter from Fox TV approached and asked, "Murphy, Downey, why did you two make such a large-scale superhero movie?" ”

Murphy shook his head and motioned for Robert Downey Jr. to speak first.

"The Hollywood commercial movies I see are always hung up." Robert Downey Jr. began to perform with a poisonous tongue, "Everyone braved the rain of bullets, but it was like the old TV series of "Dragon Raiders", the bullets hit the ground. So we can shine a light on Deadpool's special move in the story - super destructive power and mercenary joy. And we also have a rare opportunity to make a movie that is not just for children. There are a lot of yellow storm shots, and they all feel fun when shooting. ”

He gestured to Murphy, and the reporter immediately asked, "Why did you choose Donnie?" We all know that you haven't had any auditions for the role. ”

Murphy thought for a moment and said, "If you know the character, you know why you chose Downey to portray the character, and Downey joined during the script, and most of Deadpool's lines came from him, so to create a character a bit like him later, it was almost written according to his mold." He's really, really close to Deadpool - his sense of humor is consistent. He's also a bit out of place in the day-to-day, just like Deadpool is in the movies. ”

After speaking, Murphy nodded to the reporter, patted Robert Downey Jr. on the shoulder again, stopped staying in the interview area, and turned around and walked to the door of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

Before entering the theater, he looked up again and couldn't help but shake his head.

In Murphy's eyes, the style of Hollywood's Chinese Theatre is simply nondescript.

This is a typical landmark building that combines East and West, and the concrete floor in front of the theater also gathers the handprints and footprints of nearly 200 filmmakers.

However, these handprints are different from the stars on the Avenue of Stars, leaving handprints here are more commercial activities, and it is relatively easy to leave handprints and footprints here.

Because there is no particularly clear and strict standard for leaving a seal in the Hollywood Chinese Theater, when some movies premiere in the theater, the leading actors will leave handprints, footprints, and even nose prints, not only the main creator of the movie, but also the props in the movie, such as the magic wand of the three leading actors in the "Harry Potter" series of movies......

Moreover, since the beginning of the new century, the number of people who have stayed here has increased dramatically, and many of them are paid by film companies or foreign stars to achieve the purpose of publicity and hype.

The last time Sin City premiered here, Murphy hurried by, but this time he walked much slower and took a closer look at the famous Hollywood landmark.

Walking to the entrance of the theater, the first thing you see is two huge red pillars made of coral, each inlaid with a wrought iron mask, two red pillars supporting the copper roof above, and between the two red pillars, is a 9-meter-high stone sculpture carved with a Chinese dragon.

To this day, two large stone tengus, originally brought from China, still guard the entrance to the theater.

Murphy walked through the doors of the theater and looked around as he greeted the people who came to greet him, the interior design of the place was dazzling and had a strong oriental atmosphere.

In the hall, there is an elaborate wall with frescoes that tell about life in the East, but only the life of the people who built it themselves......

There is also a glass case at the west end of the hall that houses three wax figures from the Hollywood Wax Museum, dressed in Chinese costumes.

"Some of the crews often come to the Chinese theater before they decide to start a new shooting project," said a man who suddenly walked over and pointed to the wax figures in the glass closet, "and they would touch the wax figures with their own hands." They believe that doing so will bring them good luck. ”

"Hello, Murphy."

He offered to hold out a hand, and Murphy politely shook it, "Hello, Dave." ”

The man who came over was Dave Scola, Carla Firth's biggest contender within Twentieth Century Fox, or the stumbling block to be more accurate.

"The film's test screening has such a good reputation," Dave Scola obviously didn't simply come over to set up, "presumably a big hit is not a problem, and the company will have a new series that can be profitable." Murphy, how about continuing to work together? ”

He didn't mention who he would work with, but it wasn't likely to be a project led by Carla Fez.

Murphy smiled, but said nothing.

"Your Deadpool inspired me, and I decided to split Wolverine out of the X-Men franchise." Dave Scola also laughed, "It's not a project with an investment of tens of millions of dollars, and the budget can reach about $150 million, how about it?" One more collaboration? This is Wolverine! ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Murphy politely refused, "I'm going to take a break after the work on Deadpool is completely over. ”

Dave Scola pressed up again, "Wolverine and I can wait for you." ”

"No need." Murphy shook his head directly this time, "Carla and I already have a plan, and in the next four to five years, I don't think I have time." ”

The atmosphere between the two quickly froze, and after a long while, Dave Scola nodded, pun intended, "Alright then, I wish your project continued success." ”

Watching him turn and walk away, Murphy shrugged, having been drawn into a war by Carla Fez.

The familiar sound of high heels falling to the ground sounded behind him, and he didn't look back, saying, "He didn't cause trouble on our project?" ”

"On the surface, no," the person who walked over was Carla Fez, "and I did a lot of small actions behind my back, and I didn't cause me much trouble." ”

Listening to Carla Firth say this, Murphy knew that she had spent a lot of energy on this open and secret battle, and the "Deadpool" project went so smoothly, almost everyone thought that he was the credit of the director, but he knew that the role played by Carla Firth could not be seen, but it was more important.

"What were you guys talking about?" Carla Firth stood beside Murphy and casually asked, "I saw Dave Scola leave very upset. ”

"He asked me to direct Wolverine's independent film." Murphy shook his head, "I refused." ”

Carla Firth deliberately said, "You hurt his kindness. ”

Murphy turned to look at her, "Do you want me to say yes?" ”

The two laughed tacitly.

Subsequently, the topic of Murphy and Carla Firth turned to the wax figure in the glass cabinet in front of him, and after listening to Carla Firth's introduction, Murphy knew that on the second floor of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, there is a very special existence with a strong Chinese style.

He also deliberately turned out to take a special look.

On this two-storey classical Chinese building, there is a huge banner with white characters on a red background, on which is written in Chinese "Pan Jinlian Restaurant", which reflects the Chinese theater.

Judging from the glyph of "Pan Jinlian Restaurant", the Song font is not too standardized, not too symmetrical, and a little crooked, it is said that this "Pan Jinlian Restaurant" has been put on the Hollywood screen several times, and the proprietress of the restaurant is an actress who once played Pan Jinlian in the movie.

Back in the front room, Murphy saw that the rest of the crew had walked in, and James Franco and Jonah Hill, who didn't appear in the film, also came to cheer.

"Why didn't you see Gail?" Jonah Hill asked curiously.

Next to him, James Franco was only concerned with whispering to Lily Collins, and it seemed that there was no such thing as their friends in his eyes.

"She's got classes this afternoon," Murphy said, retracting his gaze from James Franco and Lily Collins, "and there's tutorial classes in the evening, so there's no time." ”

Jonah Hill shook his big head, "She's getting herself so tired." ”

Murphy nodded, Gal Gadot's efforts were indeed beyond his imagination.

A few more words were spoken, and then, beckoned by Carla Fez, they walked together towards the hall that could accommodate 2,200 people.

"Good news for you." Carla Firth whispered to Murphy as she walked, "'Hellboy' is not doing well at the box office on weekdays, and the three major commercial theaters will start tomorrow morning, which will reduce the film's scheduling rate, and if our early box office is good, it may be reduced by more than 10 percentage points." ”

"We're going to make it." Murphy was confident.

He had previously learned that the production cost of "Hellboy" was $60 million, but the box office in the first weekend could only be said to be relatively average, taking more than $23 million from more than 3,000 theaters, and then the weekday box office quickly fell to the level of $1 million a single day, and the downward trend was very obvious.

It's unlikely that this film will cause too much trouble for "Deadpool", as long as "Deadpool" performs well enough tonight, it will directly give "Hellboy" a diving super drop.

Tonight is not only the North American premiere of "Deadpool", but also 2,500 advance screenings to be held in conjunction with the premiere. (To be continued.) )
