If he wants to make a new project happen, Murphy first has to get a plan for the script, especially the script, even if it is a Hollywood assembly line, it is also one of the foundations of a film. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the 81st Academy Awards, Murphy's main focus was on writing the script.

The outline story line is basically determined, because it involves the legal rights and interests of Jordan Belfort, Murphy can't do too much on the protagonist, most of the content must follow the well-documented content, it can be said that the protagonist has been limited to a framework, and there is not much room for the script to play freely.

This will definitely have some adverse effects on the script.

But Murphy quickly found a way to deal with it, and Jordan Belfort's counterattack did bring him limitations in terms of the main role, highlighting the protagonist, but not all of them must be reflected in the protagonist, and it can also be accentuated by the supporting roles around him.

The people around a person tend to reflect who he is, just like a Stanton party, and if Murphy was a moral model, he would certainly not be a sworn friend with the likes of Jonah Hill, James Franco, and Robert Downey Jr.

In Hollywood's screenwriting philosophy, this can be said to be to create a brilliant partner for the protagonist.

In successful films, the characters assume or highlight a specific character archetype, and each archetype has a specific behavior and thinking pattern that is easy for the audience to understand and accept.

This theory of character archetypes holds that each person has a deep and diverse personality, and that many different factors are woven together to make up people's personalities, and of course, among these many characters, there is a dominant characteristic.

So, when Murphy creates a sidekick for the protagonist, the partner needs to show certain character archetypes to create a trusted ally for the protagonist.

The Swedish psychologist Carl Jung once summarized twelve types of character archetypes - the child, the hero, the outlaw, the magician, the prodigal, the ordinary person, the lover, the guardian, the ruler, the explorer, the inventor, and the pragmatic.

All filmmakers, including Murphy, will add these character traits to the protagonist to a greater or lesser extent when writing the script, but Murphy will not limit himself to these archetypes, because it is difficult to extend the depth and three-dimensionality of the character.

For example, in the traditional Hollywood movie protagonist, most of them are a good guy, or end up being a good guy, but Jordan Belfort is not in this ranks, and Murphy's plan is to further highlight the character's love of money and dark madness, so the supporting characters who accompany him must not be a good guy.

Most of them are veritable bastards, to be exact.

Due to certain legal constraints, Jordan Belfort cannot be played freely, and when the protagonist cannot complete his own story alone, Murphy needs some supporting characters who support and oppose them in order to continue and enrich the story.

Of course, supporting characters also have an irreplaceable role, such as being very likable, having a comedic effect, or helping the audience reveal the puzzles in the movie.

First of all, Murphy is set as Jordan Belfort's most important assistant, and it can also be said that the second male number one in the film, Doni Azoff.

In Murphy's script, this would be a typical Joker-type supporting character.

If such a character believes that life only lives once, and is good at having fun, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, and sampling, then he is better set up as a clown-type character.

The life goal of this type of character is to be happy and have fun in time, to enjoy pleasure, to be afraid of boredom, to always like to joke and create fun and pranks, to pursue some seemingly unpleasant excitement in life, and most importantly, to be careless and clumsy.

Doni Azoff is undoubtedly very suitable for such a role, and while setting this role, Murphy naturally thought of who would be the most suitable person to play such a role, even if the role has changed, but just like Martin Scorsese's choice once made, Jonah Hill is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

When Murphy set up this character, he added funny and humorous elements to the Jona Hill model, using humorous dialogue to resolve conflicts or crises, and also added fun to the clown-type character.

Another supporting role is the founder of Steve Madden, a 20th-century shoe predator, Doni Azov's hair is small, Steve Madden's career is still in its infancy in the script, and his appearance is also very simple, on the surface, this will be a naïve supporting role.

The appearance of the naïve supporting characters needs to be very childish, and at the same time, it is also the purest type of supporting characters, at least on the surface.

For example, Xue Bao in "Frozen", which Murphy once watched, is a very successful naïve supporting character, he doesn't know that he will melt in the sun, and he really wants to have a "sun bath...... Not only that, but Xue Bao is also a likable character who brings all kinds of joy to the audience.

No matter how much the heart does not match the appearance, this kind of supporting character will try his best to do things the "right way" and have strong beliefs.

Another important supporting character is Jordan Belfort's nemesis, the federal agent who was not bribed by him to send him to prison.

This FBI agent named Patrick Denham, who is tasked with investigating the inside story of Stratton Oakman's illegal fraud, is unmoved by Jordan Belfort's monetary bribery offensive, but insists on finding out the truth.

Patrick Denham is undoubtedly an exploratory supporting character, a character who is always trying to knock down or break down all the obstacles that stand in his way, and can be a great character to highlight the protagonist.

In terms of the setting of the characters, in addition to the real detectives who investigated Jordan Belfort in reality, Murphy also referred to some of George Martin's portrayal of the little devil Tyrion Lannister in "Game of Thrones" to a certain extent.

Tyrion Lannister, the "little devil" in Game of Thrones, can be described as a typical exploratory character, despite his short stature, he is extremely ambitious.

In the first season, he visited the Night's Watch at the Great Wall of the North, and his long journey was seen by those around him as inconsistent with his status as a noble prince and nobleman. Moreover, he is still a hero in "Game of Thrones", and has become the right-hand man of "Dragon Mother" Daenerys.

In the vast majority of film and television works, this type of supporting character likes to experience real and fulfilling life, longs for the freedom to explore the world and find his true self, is afraid of comfort and being troubled by the world, avoids being disturbed by the world and the outside world, tries to keep himself, is eager to learn and looks forward to long trips, and may be an extremely unsociable or aimless person.

After getting the supporting role of Jordan Belfort, Murphy went to meet with his accountant David and entrusted him to hire several professional stockbrokers from Wall Street to assist his screenwriting team to complete the more specialized content on finance and securities in the script.

You don't need to be surprised in this area, but at least you can't make basic mistakes.

There are no specific operations and techniques in the script, and although the protagonist has a strong ability to deceive people, there will be no concrete subtle operations, which can also reduce the chance of making such mistakes.

"If it's as described in the film, it's really a group of ruffians who sell marijuana who have become masters of working capital?"

As one of the future executive producers of the film, Gal Gadot was the first to see the first draft of the script that had been completed, and she was puzzled about many things, asking Murphy, "Wouldn't that be a slap in the face of financial practitioners?" ”

"The way they call it."

In fact, Murphy doesn't know much about this, and a small part of what he knows is the impression left by watching various Wall Street-related movies before, and more is what David's Wall Street friends have learned in the past few days, he is basically buying and selling, "This is mainly for small and micro stocks, that is, the market value is quite small, and you can also see in the script that the legendary future leader of the American communications industry is actually a toilet-like thing on the side of a remote country road." ”

This film seems to be closer to a comedy, but the core of Murphy's setting is black, and he does not intend to whitewash Jordan Belfort, let alone show the glamorous side of Wall Street, but will stare at the side behind it.

Not to mention Jordan Belfort's information, since the Oscars, Murphy has collected a lot of well-documented information about Stratton Oakman, compared to these guys, the Stanton party is really a good group of people.

The most important point is that they lie about having legendary inside information, such as the stock will rise sharply in two days, "Please give me two days, just two days, and your money will not be in urgent use in two days", which is generally said......

Then the customer buys it, and then because the market value is very small, the price does go up very quickly, and then they use this as a success story to continue to fool more people in: I said two days ago that this stock is going to rise, and in two days he really went up like crazy, and I'm very sorry I couldn't contact you two days ago, but it's still too late......

Then it rolls bigger and bigger, like a balloon, so it's called a pump.

Until one day, when they feel that the time has come, it may be because they have played enough, or the stock is targeted by financial predators, and these people are afraid that the gold in their hands will be taken away, so they throw away all their holdings and completely tell the stock for nothing, just like taking out the garbage, that is, dumping.

Those customers who haven't sold yet deserve it.

As for what Gal Gadot said about a group of big sellers. Hemp's ruffian has become a master of working funds, and according to Murphy's understanding, this situation is really not uncommon. (To be continued.) )
