Because he had to use his own style and form to complete the editing of "Inglourious Basterds", rather than presenting it in a typical Quentin Tarantino-esque chapter back style, Murphy was quite strict in the final editing process, and any unsatisfactory parts of the shot were redone, resulting in a long delay in the entire post-production. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Fortunately, he has plenty of time to polish carefully and try to minimize imperfections.

Until the end of July, when the post-production of Inglourious Basterds was in the final stages, Murphy was able to spare his energy to cooperate with the promotion and marketing of Twentieth Century Fox.

Murphy began working closely with Fox's media outlets, with a planned release of promotional materials.

"Recently, James Franco's appearance in Murphy Stanton's new film "Inglourious Basterds" was revealed, and this makeup photo shows that he plays a character nicknamed 'Bastard' in the film, Lieutenant Aldo Renner. From the exposed photos, not only can you see the overall appearance of James Franco, but also you can see that there is a visible scar on his neck. ”

A report from Fox TV highlighted the film.

It is reported that the story of the film takes place during World War II, a group of American soldiers who committed crimes were supposed to be sentenced to death, but extraordinary policies were adopted during extraordinary times, and they were allowed to make meritorious contributions to their crimes. James Franco plays the role of the leader of this group of soldiers, who lead them deep into Nazi-occupied France on a dangerous mission to kill Nazi members in order to create a climate of panic in the Third Reich. ”

With this as a start, the pre-screening promotion of "Inglourious Basterds" has entered an intensive stage, and various materials have been continuously transmitted from Murphy and the crew to major media platforms.

After the styling pictures were exposed, James Franco lost his previous low profile and frequently appeared in public with Lily Collins, and the combination of the golden boy and girl was eye-catching enough to become the focus of attention of many gossip media.

This is also good for the publicity and marketing of Inglourious Basterds.

At the same time, James Franco and Lily Collins also staged a big drama with the cooperation of Twentieth Century Fox and the agency CAA, creating the biggest gossip scandal in Hollywood at the end of July and the beginning of August.

The two of them are also happy to cooperate, in fact, from the process of the two coming together, it is not difficult to find that this pair cannot be measured by a normal way of thinking.

A love. Child. Fetish and willingness to fall in love. Child. How can a girl with a fetish be measured by the standards of ordinary people?

The first stage of the pre-release promotion of "Inglourious Basterds" is completely based on James Franco as the core of the promotion, although it is not as appealing as Robert Downey Jr. after "Iron Man", but it is not too much to say that it is in the top position of second-tier stars.

Such an actor naturally has a certain degree of popularity and appeal.

However, it is impossible for the publicity and marketing work of any film to revolve around one person, and it is easy to turn into fried cold rice for too long, and the publicity work of the crew is also advancing one by one.

In mid-August, Murphy asked the crew to release three teaser posters, showing a strong violent style, with no characters on the posters, only close-ups of blood-stained sticks, rifles, daggers and other weapons, the picture is full of murderous atmosphere and is very visually impactful.

"These three posters carry the dark style of typical Murphy Stanton, and the cult style of Inglourious Basterds is finally beginning to appear."

The comments in the media and on the Internet hit the nail on the head.

Taking advantage of this popularity, Twentieth Century Fox then released the first trailer of "Inglourious Basterds", which is only one minute and forty seconds long, in order to match the previous publicity plan, this promotional trailer is basically a solo show of James Franco, and most of the scenes are in which he plays Lieutenant Aldo Renner giving a lecture to the bastard squad.

Of course, on the online version, there are also bloody and violent scenes, showing fans that the bloodthirsty Murphy is back.

From the original "Hard Candy" to the later "Deadpool", to "Game of Thrones" and "Gone Girl", these films directed by Murphy all have the finishing touch of almost crazy violent and bloody scenes, only "Man of Steel" has been restrained because of the relationship between classification, but it has also turned blood into violence, making Superman and Wonder Woman have a super demolition war with Doomday.

"Man of Steel" is also Murphy's only PG-13 rated film, and the online trailer for "Inglourious Basterds" undoubtedly announced to cult fans that Murphy is back in the ranks of R-rated films.

These are all conventional forms of publicity, and in this day and age, Hollywood propaganda is becoming more and more diverse.

In mid-August, some major media in North America reported that "it was too violent and bloody, and Murphy Stanton's new film "Inglourious Basterds" was boycotted before it was released. ”

Twentieth Century Fox's trolls deliberately posted a short script on the Internet, instigating a protest overseas, which attracted the attention of quite a few fans around the world.

The North American media, especially those controlled by Fox and News Corp., have been heavily hyped up about the protests.

"The script for Inglourious Basterds, a new film directed by Murphy Stanton, scheduled to be released in the second half of this year, was recently leaked, starring James Franco as the captain of the Jewish bastard warrior rangers, who are so brutal that a family group from Australia is trying to boycott the film's release in the country."

"Judging from the leaked script and the trailer that has been released, Murphy Stanton continues his usual style of black, violent and bloody in Inglourious Basterds, with Lieutenant Aldo Rainer, the 'bastard leader' played by James Franco, organizing a squad of Jewish fighters to infiltrate Nazi-occupied France and assassinate Nazis, at a time when France was full of people persecuted by the Nazis."

"The film's distributor also released three teaser posters, which show no characters, only blood-dripping daggers, bats and rifles, full of vicious killing aura."

However, a script leaked on the Internet was even more murderous, with a scene in which Lieutenant Aldo Rayner, played by James Franco, stands on a boulder and lectures Jewish fighters: Be cruel to the Germans and let them know who we are. Each of you owes me 100 Nazi scalps, and now, I'm going to cut my scalp. There is also a scene in which the soldier played by Ley Ross blows the head of a Nazi with a bat, and the scene can only be described as a splattering of brains; Bloody footage of submachine gun fire at close range also appears frequently in the trailer......"

"According to the news from Twentieth Century Fox, "Inglourious Basterds" is expected to make its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September, and the film will be released from Thanksgiving to Christmas in North America, and the release date in Australia is also December."

"The Victorian Family Council from Australia has publicly stated that James Franco is a behavioral icon for young people, and that such a bloody, violent character would be a very bad example, and some Jewish organizations are also upset that the film is too violent, believing that Murphy Stanton's new film does not reflect the facts."

"But Murphy Stanton himself said in an interview with Empire magazine that these 'bastards' are similar to the heroic and warlike Apache people of North America, and even if the defeat is assured, they will still fight until the last moment, they are bastards, but also warriors!"

In line with the needs of publicity, Murphy also deliberately stood up to respond to this protest, and specially accepted an interview with "Premiere" for this purpose.

"Are movies to blame for violence in society? I think this is a very broad topic, and I can't fully answer it as a director. ”

In a non-startling manner, Murphy first threw out a gimmick, and then said, "We now have perfect legal protections, and the rating system can also prevent minors from entering the theater where Inglourious Basterds is shown." ”

He then threw out a bombshell news, "'Inglourious Basterds' is about a group of American Jewish soldiers who were supposed to be sentenced to death, but they were allowed to go deep into Nazi-occupied France to wreak havoc during the extraordinary period." However, there may be a little misunderstanding here that needs to be clarified, and the story is actually centered around Soshana, played by Australian actress Margot Robbie. ”

The next step in the publicity will be to shift to Margot Robbie, and Murphy is also helping her attract the attention of the media.

Today's Margot Robbie is not an unknown actress, she has been playing the important role of Sansa Stark in the "Game of Thrones" crew, and the series has always maintained a high popularity, and the main actors in it have received as much attention as ever.

In particular, Margot Robbie is younger and more beautiful than the stout three fools she once was, and she is also more spiritual herself, so she is naturally more popular.

Especially in the third season that started in May, the almost crazy "Blood Wedding" shocked countless viewers and media, and received a super high score of 9.9 on multiple rating websites, and was even praised by some media as the highest-rated episode in the history of human TV dramas, directly pushing "Game of Thrones" to a peak.

The actors among them also benefited a lot.

If you want to whet people's appetite, the bait must not be thrown at one time, it must be added again and again.

"Miss Robbie's Soshana is the central character." Murphy kept throwing out new topics, "She's not just an ordinary female character, she's also a bastard who kills Nazis like crazy." ”

After the post-production of Inglourious Basterds was complete, Murphy, like the rest of the crew, began to make high-profile appearances at various events and attended the Saturn Awards ceremony this month.

He was joined not by Gal Gadot, but by Robert Downey Jr.

"I'm the guest of honor." Robert Downey Jr.'s reason for attending is simple, "Michael Douglas is also the guest of honor. (To be continued.) )
