At the same time as the Twentieth Century Fox project was established, Murphy's new project was officially named "The Wolf of Wall Street", although Jordan Belfort himself caused some trouble, but Stanton Studios held the copyright related to the autobiography, and the terms were clear and unambiguous, just like Winston Groom's "Forrest Gump" back then, Jordan Belfort could not shake the film at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After the project was established, Twentieth Century Fox, Stanton Studios and Meghan Ellison's Foundation held tripartite talks and officially determined that the production cost of the film was $100 million, of which Twentieth Century Fox accounted for 60 percent of the investment, Stanton Studios accounted for 25 percent with adaptation rights and part of the investment, and Megan Ellison's foundation accounted for 15 percent.

Rather than investing, Murphy focuses his earnings on the director's salary, with a base salary of $15 million, a 20 percent share of the film's global box office, and 20 percent of the revenue from DVDs and online pay-per-demand streams.

Meanwhile, Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill have also accepted Murphy's offer to play the two most important roles of Jordan Belfort and Doni Azoff, respectively.

The salary of the three of them alone is as high as 35 million US dollars, accounting for more than one-third of the production cost, plus the expenses of Murphy's entire production team, the salary of the crew will inevitably reach nearly half of the total production cost.

This also means that it is impossible for the crew to offer high salaries on other actors, so there is no possibility of attracting big-name actors to join.

Of course, there are also people who come for the golden sign of Murphy Stanton, such as Christopher Waltz, who made a cameo appearance as Jordan Belfort's leader on Wall Street for a symbolic salary of $10,000.

and Margot Robbie, who offered Murphy to play Naomi, Jordan Belfort's second wife.

"I heard David say, you want to audition for this role?"

In the office of Stanton Studios, Murphy looked at his girlfriend's best friend sitting across from him and said, "Maggie, there are some things I need to make clear to you beforehand. ”

Anyway, he and Margot Robbie have known each other for many years, and the other party is David Robbie's sister and Gal Gadot's friend, and even Murphy will consider these relationships at his discretion, not to mention that Margot Robbie's conditions are not bad.

"Murphy, I've seen a little bit of a character script from the agency." Margot Robbie stroked back her blonde hair, "I think I'm still very suitable for playing a glamorous and sexy model." ”

After saying that, she laughed first.

Margot Robbie knows where her strengths lie, and with the same auditions, she is definitely the first choice.

"You're pretty confident." Murphy teased, and Margot Robbie snorted and said, "What I've learned most from Gail is self-confidence. ”

Thinking of Gal Gadot, she smiled even more.

Murphy shook his head, stopped talking about these inconsequential things, and gradually turned to the topic, "Maggie, there are some things that I hope you know enough before the audition. ”

"Hmm!" Margot Robbie nodded.

"The role is only paid half a million dollars." Murphy didn't go around in circles, and said directly, "No matter who wants to get this role, the salary of half a million dollars will only be low or high." ”

If the actor is not famous, the salary will naturally be lower, even reduced to tens of thousands of dollars.

In the past, Margot Robbie played this role, and there were not many options, but now Margot Robbie is different, the three fools and Soshana in the previous film have given her a certain fame, and with her current value, the salary of 500,000 US dollars is indeed a lot lower.

"The salary ......" Margot Robbie hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I can accept the salary, I will tell the agent." ”

She then put on a serious expression, "Who made this your movie!" ”

"I'm not done yet." Murphy went on to talk about other requirements, "This character is going to have a lot of drugs, and ...... Whole. For naked scenes, you'd better be mentally prepared. ”

Margot Robbie opened her mouth, "Uh......"

In "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" with such a large scale, she played Sansa Stark without missing a point.

Therefore, Margot Robbie still has some concerns.

Murphy didn't have time to wait for her to think about it here, so he said directly, "Well, I'll have someone leave you an audition spot, and if you want to participate, call Bill." ”

That's already a big treat.

"Hmm." Margot Robbie nodded slightly, stood up and said, "Then I'll go first." Goodbye, Murphy. ”

Murphy had the secretary send Margot Robbie out of Studio Stanton.

After calling Twentieth Century Fox about the availability of funds, Murphy also left Stanton Studios, and he joined up with stylist Jack Watson and art director Helena Espora to go to several well-known brand companies to seek some help and support.

Since Jordan Belfort was living a life of extreme luxury at the time, using what can be said to be the top luxury, and it has been a while now, it is not easy to find relevant props on the market.

Murphy's idea was to borrow samples from some brands, and if they didn't have them, they would provide information such as costume designs so that the crew could make their own production and make sure that all the props were destroyed after the filming was over.

This can also be considered as advertising for these brands, and there is no advertising fee.

If it were Murphy five years ago, no one would have paid attention to it, but now he has almost no effort to get the company where most of these brands are located.

It is no exaggeration to say that these are one of the foundations of filmmaking, because if Murphy wants to restore Jordan Belfort's extravagant life, he can't just take some bargains and use them in the filming of the movie.

Murphy has also made a pre-explanation to Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill before, and their roles also have a lot of large-scale scenes, and for the next awards season, the two guys had better play in person.

The film's *** scenes may cause some trouble, but they are an essential part of Murphy's planning.

Money, betrayal and sex are always intertwined, sex needs money as the foundation, and it ends with betrayal, and money and betrayal are good brothers.

The large-scale plot in the autobiography, Murphy did not think of cutting it at all, but would try his best to restore it, even if it could not appear in the theatrical release version, it could be added in the subsequent director's cut.

Women shaved their heads, men blasphemed, and pyramid scheme-style agitation, as well as the unbearable sight of drugs in the office and sex everywhere after making money, these are the main points.

Since it does not provide specific labor products, it is necessary to burn their own desires, and then let the fire of their desires ignite the customers, so that they can enter the middle of the world.

In fact, Murphy's planned "The Wolf of Wall Street" will be full of drugs, ****, group **** and even ***.

In fact, in the final analysis, what Murphy wants to shoot is an interesting film that can attract the audience.

It is true that Jordan Belfort is not a good person, even ten times worse than Murphy and Stanton, but one thing cannot be denied, Jordan Belfort's life is desirable to many people!

Not to mention anything else, Jordan Belfort's situation is what many people dream of, and it seems easy for him to achieve, which is even more desirable.

There are many examples of such a sudden rich, but the charisma of Jordan Belfort that the actor can show is what makes him special, although his difference is not those righteous and awe-inspiring spirits or unique talents, his difference is a charming evil, burying his life in sex, drugs, alcohol and deception, he is by no means a pillar of this society, but he is undeniably "wonderful".

He throws parties at home, on a yacht or even in the office, his moments are in the midst of revelry, he goes crazy for a small pill other than his infectious speech, he may not be a role model for anyone, he can only offer a different kind of life to look forward to, there is no room for learning and no possibility of replication.

To a certain extent, JoAnn Belfort is a madman and even mentally ill.

At the beginning, Murphy considered that it would be appropriate for the film to be renamed "Wall Street Psychosis".

Superficial charm, exaggerated expressions, constant pursuit of material and drug stimulation, habitual lying, strong desire for control, never ashamed of one's actions, irresponsible, indifferent, no self-control, sexual. Excessive. Delivery .......

These are all things that the film is going to show, so Murphy sets the emotional tone of the film as soon as he sets the outline of the script.

Any film will have its own emotions, which is common sense in filmmaking, such as the heaviness and tragedy of "Man of Steel" and the ridiculousness of "Gone Girl......

But in this film, Murphy does not intend to show any real, normal emotions, all the similarities that normal people call friendship, love, and family affection exist in the film, but they are all false hidden under money and desire.

What binds the Jordan Belfort empire together is the adoration of a common idol by all its members: money.

Murphy's idea is simple, Jordan Belfort's employees who are always like chickens and blood, and they don't worship Jordan Belfort himself, but the lifestyle that money can buy for what he represents, and in the final analysis, they worship money.

As in the past, Murphy focused more on polishing the script and reviewing other preparations, such as the actors' initial auditions and the initial list of locations, which were still handled by the heads of various departments.

For the role of Naomi, the crew decided to conduct an audition audition. (To be continued.) )
