Chapter 296: Wife Killer Movie
"Black actors are too troublesome, too difficult, and glassy. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In front of Murphy, Carla Firth didn't hide it, "The important thing is that I don't like them at all, and Paul Anderson also recommended Milla Jovovich, so I changed the screenwriter to a white man." ”
She, like Murphy, doesn't really pay much attention to the so-called political correctness of Hollywood movies.
"Where's your new project?" Carla Firth brought up the new film that had been put aside by Murphy for the time being, "When will it continue?" ”
Murphy thought for a moment and said, "After the negotiations on A Song of Ice and Fire are settled, if there is no progress in the negotiations by next month, I will leave it all to Bill." ”
Carla Firth also heard Murphy mention the content of the new project, and asked strangely, "Why did you choose such a theme?" ”
"'Deadpool' was a big hit, which made me famous, and I was also considered by many to be the most promising young director in Hollywood." Murphy's voice was steady, telling the truth completely, "but there will also be negative reactions, and if I am considered by the old men of the academy to be a complete commercial director, it will be more troublesome." ”
Carla Firth understood, "You're still obsessed with the Oscar statuette." ”
"In this circle, how many directors don't want to win the Best Director Golden Man?" Murphy pointed to himself, "I want to do so much, and I've never denied it. ”
"So, you chose such a non-commercial theme?" Kara Firth asked.
"It just doesn't look as commercial on the surface." Murphy shrugged, "Actually, it's still very entertaining, and I can't always trade at a loss." ”
He laughed, "I wonder if I don't have the ability of James Cameron, I can't just rely on business to make those old men bow their heads, you have to be selective in terms of subject matter." ”
If the old men of the students completely position him as a Michael Bay-like commercial or comic director, I am afraid that he may not be able to get the Oscar statuett until his hair is gray.
The obsession with the Oscar statuette is not only here now, but also in the past.
Many practitioners in the film industry across the Pacific are still quite obsessed with the Oscars, and he will inevitably be affected.
And because of his personal hobbies, his concept is also a little biased, and he always believes that the weight of the Oscar statuette is far heavier than the highest awards of the three major international film festivals.
Many people will definitely scoff at this perception, but everyone has a different opinion on different things.
He is not very interested in the three major international film festival awards, but the Oscar is very eager to get it.
Most directors can win the Oscar, not only because of the film, but also because many directors are often ignored by the old men of the academy even if they work hard.
Among them, the representatives are undoubtedly typical commercial film directors and directors who are born in commercials.
Murphy knows very well that the Oscars are always only chosen right, and may not be selected well.
Therefore, while shooting commercial films, he will also choose some films that don't seem to be very commercial, but are actually commercial.
While making commercial profits, it can show that Murphy Stanton is not a pure commercial director, but still has a lot of pursuit.
Although the theme of the new project is darker and even incorrect, it can continue the style of his previous independent films, showing a different style.
Today's Hollywood movies are seriously lacking in creativity, not that there is no creativity, but creativity is almost equal to risk, and few companies are willing to take huge risks, so you can always see Hollywood adaptations, sequels and remakes rampant, and there are very few original works on the investment list of the six major companies every year.
"Alien vs. Predator" is not a sequel, but it is an epic collision of two famous Hollywood screen monsters, although this film has previously encountered many protests from their respective fans, but the gimmick brought by Paul Anderson and Paul Anderson's production above the passing line have attracted many audiences into the theater.
In the three days of the first weekend, "Alien vs. Predator" took more than $41 million from more than 3,400 theaters in North America, successfully reaching the goal set before the release.
With two blockbuster films single-handedly promoted, Kara Firth has fully established herself in Twentieth Century Fox and has shown her strength.
This is undoubtedly extremely beneficial for her to continue to move towards a higher position.
After cheering Carla Firth on her back, there was still no good news coming from Bill Rothes's side, and Murphy simply picked up the work he had left behind - writing the script outline, making a project plan, and drawing some continuous drawing boards.
When Murphy finished the script outline and began filling the outline template with content, Gal Gadot became the first reader.
"When I think of my wife, it's always her head that comes to mind, and I imagine opening her lovely head and studying her brain for answers......"
After reading just one sentence, Gal Gadot felt creepy, and he didn't have to look down to know that the man who said such things was definitely not a normal man.
"Is this a wife-killing movie?" Gal Gadot immediately remembered the Simpson wife murder case that shocked the whole United States.
He looked at Murphy, who was sitting in front of the drawing board, well...... It's still normal for my boyfriend.
Still, Gal Gadot sighed and muttered, "Why does he always like to focus on the dark side of humanity?" ”
Sitting in a chair with one hand on his chin, Gal Gadot watched Murphy paint there, vaguely seeing a few faint scars on the side of his face, a thoughtful look on his face, and after a long while, he nodded slowly.
Unlike her, she grew up in a slum and was, in his own words, a very jerky and unbearable teenager and young adult, and then went to prison for a whole year before coming out......
In fact, you don't need to think much to guess that what he has seen since he was a child is some dark things, and he has experienced situations that she can't imagine, and the environment will inevitably affect people, which will lead to the theme he chose after becoming a director......
Gal Gadot shook his head, and he was a little glad in his heart that Murphy's dark side has always been shown in the film, and life has always been full of sunshine and positivity.
Seeing Murphy put down the carbon pencil, Gal Gadot stood up and walked over, the drawing board was a painting, although Murphy's drawing skills could not be complimented, she could also see that it was like a woman falling headfirst into the water.
"Is it really the subject of wife killing?" Gal Gadot asked.
"It's not." Murphy shook his head, "Honey, what you see are illusions that are used to confuse the audience and arouse their curiosity. ”
Gal Gadot stood behind his chair and reached out to comb Murphy's messy hair, "Can you tell me about it?" ”
In the early stage of a project, a certain degree of secrecy is definitely required, but Gal Gadot is not in the ranks, Murphy organized it a little, and said, "This is a black humorous and heavy suspense romance movie set in the background of modern urban life, about a couple from different walks of life who love and kill each other, control each other, and finally are inseparable." ”
"Why ......," Gal Gadot still wondered, "why do you write and draw things now like a husband plotting to kill his wife?" ”
"The needs of future films, to be precise, the need to attract audiences." Murphy put down the carbon pen, pulled out a wet wipe, and said while wiping his hands, "A good movie should make people can't help but fall into it, and wishfully believe that those exquisite pictures, precise scheduling, and hand-to-hand editing are all to tell the story well, rather than deliberately showing off their skills, so that the sense of form of the film goes beyond the story itself, which is what it will serve in the future." ”
Gal Gadot nodded, "So, what I'm seeing are all illusions in future films?" It's not a wife-killing experience. ”
"It's not." Murphy shook his head, "This is the story of a love-hate couple. ”
"Well," Gal Gadot asked, glancing at the sketch again, and finding a line of small print in the corner of the sketch, "which is the name of the future film?" ”
"Hmm." Murphy threw the wipes into the trash can next to him, "If nothing else, it will still be called "Gone Girl" in the future." ”
Gal Gadot's cell phone rang suddenly, and she escaped and looked, "My mom." ”
With that, she turned and walked towards the window, and Murphy stopped talking, stood up and cleaned up briefly.
"Gone Girl", a film with a dark theme and incorrect views, is a new project he is planning.
In the past, the film was adapted from the novel of the same name, but now that the novel has not yet appeared, Murphy does not have to think about copyright and adaptation, and is ready to directly get the script and then invest in filming.
There is no original novel, it will have some impact on the film, but the impact will not be very large, the former novel is just a third-rate work, if it is not adapted into a movie, even in North America, I am afraid it will be submerged in the huge world of Wenhai.
The film is arguably a case of a typical third-rate novel being adapted into a first-class film, and, as Murphy says, the film is entertaining enough for him to show that he is not a purely commercial director.
Entertainment is very important to the future commercial return of the film.
Also, from the beginning of planning this film, Murphy thought of a marketing plan to match it, without the shackles of fiction, these plans would be implemented more smoothly, and if done well, they could even have a sensational effect.
He was busy with all of this from the end of August to the beginning of September, and after getting the first draft of the script, there was good news for Bill Rossies. (To be continued.) )
