Chapter 570: Shameless to the extreme

Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

Murphy never hesitated when the right opportunity presented himself and could create an eye-catching topic, so the female reporter's words immediately intrigued him, and he gave up those routine answers and thought of a more suitable answer in a short moment.

Frankly, "City of Chaos" has a good reputation, but it can't get rid of the limitations of non-sequel originals, and the box office growth doesn't seem to match the investment of $300 million in production costs and publicity expenses.

Especially starting tomorrow, the new week will kick off, and "City of Chaos" will face the test of weekdays, and if it doesn't create more buzz in terms of publicity, it may face a sharp drop in the box office after the first weekend, like most original films.

It's normal for weekday ticket sales to decline, but if the daily revenue drops from tens of millions of dollars to two or three million dollars, no one wants to see it.

Murphy threw out such an answer, of course, for his own purpose.

The female reporter was also very good, and immediately asked curiously, "Why was the film prepared in the first place?" We haven't seen anything like it come out, have we? ”

"It was just a plan, and it didn't end up being implemented." Murphy deliberately sold off, "To be exact, the production company vetoed the plan. ”

For a director like him, everything that happens is news, not to mention that a film project has been vetoed.

Almost at the same time, all the reporters present realized that this was a piece of film news that could make waves, and they were also curious which production company would veto a project as a director like him.

Brad Hans Bain, a reporter from the New York Times, asked, "Murphy, which company is it, can you tell me?" ”

"Hmm......" Murphy looked a little embarrassed, as if he didn't want to talk much.

The female reporter urged, "Your fans must be curious to know about this." ”

Then another reporter complained, "The public has the right to know!" ”

"yes!"

"Which company the hell?"

There was a jumbled questioning sound all around, Murphy raised his hand and made a downward gesture, and waited for the surrounding voices to be quieter, then said, "A few years ago, I was going to work with Warner Bros. ......"

Hearing the name Warner Bros., all reporters pricked up their ears, and well-informed people know that although Murphy collaborated with Warner Bros. and DC Comics on the masterpiece "Man of Steel", because of the salary and adaptation route, the quarrel between the two sides was not very pleasant.

Since he started, Murphy didn't think about stopping, "How do you say that?" Everyone should be able to see that "City of Chaos" is not a one, but a series of stories. ”

The reporters nodded slightly, which is already obvious in the film, James Franco's magician was specially confessed, and he definitely didn't come out to play soy sauce, and the murderer behind the killing of Reina seems to be Jay Rachel's parliamentarian father, and this character has not yet been resolved.

There is clearly a next, or even two, part of this film to make up a complete trilogy.

The whole story Murphy has changed, and he is not worried about copyright disputes with DC comics, "This trilogy about "Chaos City" was written to Batman at the earliest. ”

β€œwhatοΌŸβ€

"What?"

"Batman?"

"The Batman trilogy?"

"He thought about adapting Batman?"

The reporters at the scene were in a commotion, and they didn't seem to expect that the name Batman would jump out of Murphy's mouth.

"Yes, it's Batman!" That's what Murphy wanted, continuing, "Although 'Chaos City' has changed a lot from the project, story and plot I originally prepared for Batman, the framework and theme of the film have not changed. ”

He smiled, "Actually, Batman's Dark Knight identity is very suitable for this film." ”

The people present are all journalists who specialize in movies and Hollywood, and they have some research on this industry, thinking about the male protagonist of "Chaos City", and then thinking about Lord Bruce Wayne, if New York is replaced by Gotham, the setting of Lord is the same as Chris Dane, which is very suitable for the theme and atmosphere of this film.

In some ways, the two characters are still a little bit similar, such as both losing their fathers in childhood, but Bruce Wayne's father is a really good guy, and Chris Dane's father is only a really good guy in front of his son.

Murphy let out a long sigh, "It's a pity that Warner Bros. thought my adaptation completely overturned the comics, too dark and heavy, and vetoed that plan, so I had to start a new ......"

Speaking of this, he shook his head vigorously, looking very regretful.

Brad Hansbain, a reporter for the New York Times, asked, "Murphy, can you talk about why Warner Bros. refused?" ”

"They think the story is too dark, heavy, and depressing......" Murphy shrugged, "I don't know the rest, you're going to ask the Warner Bros. guys." ”

Murphy winked, and Grace, who accompanied him, immediately stood up and said loudly, "That's all for today's interview, thank you for your concern!" ”

Several bodyguards separated an aisle and sent Murphy and Grace to the RV, where Gal Gadot and Margot Robbie were already waiting.

"Grace." Murphy commanded, "Inform Kara Firth and Bill of what they just said, and let them do as they see fit." ”

He glanced at Margot Robbie, lowered his voice again, and said to Grace, "Inform our black fan organization to spread the relevant news on the Internet, and we must stir up this topic." ”

After he had an idea, he worked with CAA to form a more professional black fan organization from the originally loose online water army.

Professional black fans are more efficient and targeted than online trolls.

Moreover, at this stage of the development of the Internet in North America, since "Blair the Witch" in the nineties of the last century, the Internet water army that Hollywood has been using has fallen behind, and more professional Internet hype tools are also indispensable for people like Murphy.

The video of Murphy's interview was uploaded to the turtle almost immediately, and it immediately attracted a lot of attention.

In less than half an hour, the relevant information on social networking sites represented by Facebook and Twitter was also widely followed and forwarded, coupled with the addition of Murphy's black fan organization, the connection between "Chaos City" and Batman and Warner Bros. quickly became a hot topic of entertainment.

Murphy and Warner Bros. are the focus of the show, and unfortunately, the latter has largely become the villain, especially in the mouths of DC fans.

A user named 'I Love Bruce Wayne', after retweeting a video of Murphy's interview, wrote on his Twitter, "Seeing the thought and depth behind the thrilling and dark and heavy themes of 'City of Mayhem', I can imagine how wonderful it would be if this story happened to the old man!" Originally, Murphy Stanton might have given Batman a new life on the big screen, but it was ruined by the pigs of Warner management! ”

A message on Facebook represents the voice of many DC fans, "Think about the excitement of "City of Chaos", and then think about the glory that Clark Kent achieved through "Man of Steel", Bruce Wayne missed Murphy Stanton, which may be the biggest regret of Batman's life!" ”

Someone followed up with a comment, "I feel sorry for the master!" ”

Another person who retweeted wrote, "My heart is broken when I see the video of Murphy's interview today, and I will go to see "City of Chaos" tonight to soothe my heartache." ”

This is just one of the representatives, many DC fans who originally did not pay attention to "Chaos City", after reading these news and information, the most direct idea is to buy tickets to go to the theater to see this film, and Murphy has brought DC superhero movies before that has never been brilliant, and they will not be disappointed after watching it.

Although Chris Dane and Bruce Wayne have very obvious differences, the common dark attribute still makes DC fans quite emotional.

"If Chris Dane were replaced by Bruce Wayne, the whole story would definitely be even more heartfelt!"

"Strongly appeal to Murphy to come back and continue directing DC's superhero films, especially the reboot of the Batman movie, he will surely bring us a dark epic!"

Similar voices are popping up on social networking sites.

Warner Bros. and DC Comics executives have also become targets for reporters and paparazzi, regardless of whether they were involved in talks with Murphy in the first place, and they will all be asked why they rejected Murphy Stanton's proposal for a "Batman" movie.

There were even reporters who ran up to Warner Bros.'s premiere executive, Bruce Rosenblum, and asked him face-to-face questions like 'Seeing that ''City of Chaos' is a big hit and the box office is quite good, do you regret rejecting Murphy Stanton?'

All of this annoys Bruce Rosenboum, and the black cauldron that his predecessor got is now asking him to carry it.

In this series of word-of-mouth marketing and hype, "Thor", a direct competitor to "City of Chaos" this weekend, received less and less attention, and inevitably became marginalized, and several actors who starred in "Thor" received almost no positive reviews other than being criticized for interviews and lack of acting skills.

Natalie Portman, the most famous, is no exception.

She didn't expect that she would star in a commercial masterpiece again after many years, and what she got was these.

On Monday morning, Natalie Portman sat in the VIP dining room of the Four Seasons Hotel, drinking skim milk, reading the newspaper that the assistant had just delivered, and reading the hype about "City of Chaos", and there was always an indescribable depression in her heart.

This Murphy Stanton is simply shameless to the extreme! (To be continued.) )
