In addition to the relative cold reception by the media in France, almost everywhere the crew went, it was the focus of local entertainment news, and countless fans also surrounded the hotel where the crew stayed, expecting to meet the heroes and heroines Robert Downey Jr. and Jessica Alba.

The big hit of "Deadpool" has made these two people attract the attention of the media and the pursuit of fans.

Although Murphy is also famous, he is a director after all, far less famous than the male and female protagonists Robert Downey Jr. and Jessica Alba, especially Robert Downey Jr., whose acting career was almost ruined by drug abuse, drug possession and imprisonment, has not only returned to the right track, but also rushed to unprecedented heights.

Compared with Robert Downey Jr. and Jessica Alba's popularity among the media and fans, Murphy is more sought after in the circle.

Bill Rothes, who stayed in Los Angeles, has received many director's offers from film companies and preparatory projects since the box office explosion of "Deadpool" on the first weekend, and if he signs all of these directorial contracts, the next ten years of work will be filled.

Among them are some big production projects, such as Sony Columbia and MGM, which are planning to replace a 007 actor and are also looking for a suitable new director. There is also Twentieth Century Fox that is ready to start the "Die Hard" series again, and also wants to try to convince him to take this sequel......

These were not suitable for an immediate decision, and Murphy neither refused nor agreed, and everything would have to wait until he returned to Los Angeles.

Murphy and his party left North America and flew to Southeast Asia and Australia, and "Deadpool" continued to wreak havoc on the global market, and by the end of April, the number of overseas theaters had increased to 58, and in the latest past week, another $75.28 million was swept away from the world.

In North America, the summer season has finally arrived, and the situation of "Deadpool" dominating the North American box office charts for three consecutive times has also ended with the release of new films.

On the first weekend of the summer season and the fourth weekend of the release of "Deadpool", "Mean Girls", released by Paramount and starring popular youth idol Lindsay Lohan, won the new North American box office list with a weekend box office score of $24.4 million.

However, because "Mean Girls" is a typical girl and teen movie, there is a clear difference from the audience of "Deadpool", Murphy's film was not greatly impacted, let alone a diving decline, and the decline in the weekend box office was still firmly controlled within 50%, earning $14.88 million, ranking second on the box office list.

Counting the more than $8 million in weekday box office, "Deadpool" swept away a whopping $254 million from North American theaters in four weeks.

By the time Murphy arrived in Australia, Deadpool had grossed nearly $430 million worldwide.

With a production cost of $60 million, in exchange for such a huge box office figure, plus more than $80 million in various peripherals and licensing, Twentieth Century Fox has earned $500 million in revenue for just such a film.

"I said it, Harry!"

In an office in the Fox Building, Carla Firth was in high spirits, "Just give Murphy a chance, and he'll give us a miracle back!" ”

"Yes, miracle!"

Harry Allens, CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, lifted his gold-wire glasses, "It's an amazing miracle! ”

Kara Firth laughed and asked, "Are you looking for me for something?" ”

"Well," Harry Allens nodded, and confessed seriously, "I've heard that quite a few companies are talking to Bill Rossius, and it's said that Murphy Stanton has other projects in his hands, and I hope he can continue to work with Twentieth Century Fox." ”

He looked at Carla Fez, "It's not hope, you're going to have to take his new project." ”

"I also called Murphy the other day, and he was very happy with the company's strong support for Deadpool." Carla Firth doesn't care much, "As long as we can fully support his company, it's not a problem to continue working together." ”

"Hmm." Harry Allens relieved, "That's good. ”

Carla Firth said a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving, Harry Allens opened a profile with a photo of Murphy in the upper right corner and a bio and bio underneath.

He glanced at it, and in a column in the lower left, there was a standard A.

The meaning of this A representative is very clear, after the review of the Twentieth Century Fox Review Committee, and the signature of him as the CEO, Murphy Stanton will be the A-list co-director of Twentieth Century Fox in the future.

It was always going to be that way until he screwed up a big-budget film.

The hottest summer season in North America kicked off, "Troy", "The Day After Tomorrow", "Van Helsing" and other super blockbusters have been released one after another, "Deadpool" has been significantly impacted, by mid-May, the number of theaters screened in North America has dropped to 2000, but the audience has not abandoned this film, and the average single-day box office in North America is still close to one million dollars.

On May 19, "Deadpool" earned another $880,000 from North America, and the film's North American box office accumulated to $282.11 million, surpassing the $281.57 million of "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" and becoming the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time in North America!

This record also allowed Murphy to reach the peak of his career, and rightfully became the darling of Hollywood circles.

The media are all good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, when a person is smooth, it is always a tailwind, and the current entertainment media seems to have a tacit understanding, and they are all touting Murphy, but they are not at full speed, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Deadpool" can still take a lot of box office figures from North America every day under the squeeze of a number of summer blockbusters, surpassing "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" is definitely not the end of this film.

What's more, overseas is also hot, although not as crazy as it was at the beginning, but after a number of small markets also joined the ranks of screenings, the overseas box office of "Deadpool" easily crossed the $200 million mark, and the global box office combined has approached $500 million.

All the media are waiting, waiting for a suitable moment to burst out with all their enthusiasm.

But "The Hollywood Reporter" still published a related review after "Deadpool" completed the overtaking of "The Matrix 2: Reloaded".

"Murphy Stanton, a rapidly rising new force in Hollywood, a super potential stock!"

"In the fertile soil of Hollywood, there is no shortage of fresh blood. However, in today's film industry, where sequels and remakes are all the rage, there is an urgent need for creative and personal directors to neutralize the weak creative status quo, and the emergence of Murphy Stanton is a boon for Hollywood, but genius is always refined. ”

"For Murphy Stanton, the directorial path is extremely steady, and when the foundation is laid and prepared, the olive branch will naturally come. In 2000, Murphy Stanton's "Hard Fruit Candy" won dozens of times the return at an ultra-low cost, and since then he has a small and broad halo on his head, and his directing career is also thriving, and he has written and directed "Chainsaw", "Terror Planet" and "Sin City" and other low-input, high-output and strong personal style films. ”

Along the way, Murphy Stanton learned the know-how of commercial blockbuster production from his work with Fox Searchlight and Miramax, while his own bad taste and creativity set him apart, which set him up for directing Deadpool.

"It wasn't until this year that the long-awaited Marvel comic book adaptation of Deadpool finally catapulted Murphy Stanton to fame and success."

"This heavy-tasting and restrictive masterpiece "Deadpool" became a global hit upon its release, and broke a number of R-rated movie box office records in a row. Murphy Stanton not only satisfies fans of the original comics, but also pleases mainstream audiences, and the R-rated setting also makes the film full of topicality. ”

"The collaboration between Murphy Stanton and Carla Firth is undoubtedly fraught with risks, with low budgets, script changes, and a two-month shooting cycle that make it difficult for the film to start filming, but it is precisely these constraints that make "Deadpool" so unique, and now the film is making a lot of money around the world, and while the word-of-mouth box office is a good success, Murphy Stanton has also made his career as a Hollywood director a blockbuster."

In addition to "The Hollywood Reporter", more media are jumping, Grace, who is in charge of Murphy's media and PR business, her mobile phone is almost blown up, according to what Murphy heard from Bill Rosith, the female agent is going through a difficult period these days, her boyfriend proposed to break up, the reason for the breakup is Grace's endless calls from media reporters, and there is always a person's name on the phone - Murphy Stanton!

Her boyfriend really had enough of putting up with it, and the sound seeping through the receiver of his mobile phone, hearing the voice of a media reporter flattering and asking for an interview with Murphy Stanton, couldn't help but want to get angry!

Fortunately, these things did not affect Grace's work, and all the interview requests were temporarily suppressed by the female agent.

Because after Murphy ended the overseas promotion of "Deadpool", he went on vacation to the Caribbean directly with Gal Gadot, who started his summer vacation, and all the interviews had to wait for him to come back from vacation to make a decision.

Some of the islands in the Caribbean, perfect for vacations, Murphy and Gal Gadot went to a private island, accompanied by Robert Downey Jr. and his new girlfriend Susan Levine.

More precisely, the Murphys followed Robert Downey Jr., as the owner of the island was his friend Leonardo DiCaprio.

When Murphy arrived, Leonardo DiCaprio, who was busy with "The Aviator", was not on the island, but when he got the news that Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. were coming, he took a helicopter to rush over. (To be continued.) )
