Since "City of Chaos" will be launched overseas on a large scale this weekend, according to the publicity plan formulated by Twentieth Century Fox, Murphy needs to take the main members of the crew to Europe, and participate in some promotional activities in important cities in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Spain.

Twentieth Century Fox provided a private business jet for the crew, carrying the crew around Europe.
Early Tuesday morning, Gal Gadot drove Murphy to a private tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport.
"If there's something you can't solve, remember to call me."
When Murphy got out of the car, he kissed Gal Gadot on the lips, and Gal Gadot nodded slightly, "I will." ā
She will not participate in the overseas promotion of the crew, but is ready to go back to Israel again to Tel Aviv to see her mother's situation.
Waving goodbye to Gal Gadot, Murphy had just boarded the plane when his phone rang.
Picking up the phone, a relatively unfamiliar voice rang in the earpiece, the voice said a few words very politely, and introduced himself, Murphy figured out where he came from, James Murdoch, the new co-chairman and CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, that is, the youngest son of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, and Carla Firth's high school classmate.
A long time ago, he heard Carla Feiss mention that she and James Murdoch were high school classmates, and they also got each other's support when they entered Twentieth Century Fox, and the reason why James Murdoch supported her was to cultivate her own team in Twentieth Century Fox and successfully control Twentieth Century Fox in the future.
Even if Murphy doesn't know much about the news media industry, he knows that print media is in decline, and I've heard Carla Firth say that Rupert Murdoch has been trying to split News Corp into Fox and print media in recent years, so that the latter doesn't slow down the former.
In any big family, the battle for inheritance is probably fierce, and since James Murdoch is recognized by the outside world as the most suitable successor to Rupert Murdoch, he must also have a certain ability, and it is not difficult to see that Twentieth Century Fox, which is composed of high-quality assets such as online media, Fox Television Network, and film and television production departments, is more valuable.
If Murphy were to be in James Murdoch's position, he would have considered taking Twentieth Century Fox first, and then plotting the rest of News Corp.
Isn't James Murdoch supposed to be in the UK, though? And then until the 'wiretapping' scandal led to the resignation......
"Throwing a party sometime?" The thoughts in his head were chaotic, but Murphy didn't stop, "Of course, I will definitely participate." ā
James Murdoch personally called to invite him to a party that had been held some time ago, and the other party was the new co-chairman and CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, and Murphy certainly had no reason to refuse.
Hanging up the phone, guided by the flight attendant, came to his seat and sat down, Murphy was still thinking about James Murdoch.
Rupert Murdoch's youngest son, who does things very much like Carla Firth, often does whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and many of the UK's 'eavesdropping' may have come from his personal instructions, such as eavesdropping on Prince William and the British royal family, it is impossible for the following reporters to make their own claims, and there must be support from the highest level of the News Corp.
Murphy does not reject such a person, but James Murdoch is not Carla Firth after all, and he must have a hand in his relationship.
Why did he return to North America from England now?
This is also what Murphy is curious about, but after thinking about it for a while, he thinks that it may be because of the influence of James Murdoch through Carla Firth.
After all, he vaguely remembers the time when James Murdoch was forced to resign due to 'wiretapping', and then hibernated for several years before taking the helm of Twentieth Century Fox.
Murphy shook his head slightly, who knows how these things changed? After all, the world is constantly moving forward.
"Hi, Murphy."
The voice of greeting sounded, and Murphy looked up to see Margot Robbie sitting across from her, nodded to her, and said, "Are you obsessed with a suit?" ā
I vaguely remember that since the filming of Jay Rachel's scene, Margot Robbie rarely wears skirts, and is always like Jay Rachel, wearing a well-fitting women's suit, looking very shrewd and capable.
"Good news for you." Margot Robbie deliberately winked her eyes at Murphy, "I met Natalie Portman yesterday. ā
Murphy didn't even think about it, and asked, "You went to provoke?" ā
He knew Margot Robbie ten years ago, and after she came to Hollywood, she was basically the same as David Robbie, her career basically revolved around Stanton Studios, and she was best friends with Gal Gadot, so Murphy still knew her better.
Now Margot Robbie looks like a pretty, generous, shrewd, and capable girl, but in fact she still has the wild nature of the Australian cowgirl she was a child in her bones.
She is outgoing, not like Gal Gadot who is a little introverted, since she met Natalie Portman and still has a certain amount of capital, it would be strange not to jump out to find trouble.
"Not a provocation!" Margot Robbie lowered her voice and said, "I'm just talking to her about the gap between Thor and Chaos City, and tell her about the gap between her and yours. ā
Murphy rolled his eyes, "You're bored enough. ā
"Hey!" Margot Robbie's eyes widened, "Aren't we bad guys?" How can a bad person not do bad things? ā
As soon as these words came out, Murphy was speechless and didn't bother to bother with her again.
Just then, a flight attendant came over and reminded them to fasten their seatbelts, and the plane was about to take off.
After the plane entered a stable flight state, Henry Cavill suddenly walked over.
"Is there anything wrong, Henry?" Murphy looked at him and asked.
Henry Cavill scratched his head and said with a smile, "Nothing special, I just wanted to say thank you to you." ā
"You're welcome." Murphy shook his head, "You deserve it. ā
"Really, Murphy." Henry Cavill said sincerely, "I am so grateful that you chose me in the first place. ā
In the face of this kind of smiling person, Murphy was also quite polite, "You also proved that I didn't choose the wrong person." ā
Henry Cavill laughed twice, exchanged a few more words with Murphy, and returned to his seat.
Margot Robbie looked at Henry Cavill, then at Murphy, and said, "Do I want to thank you too?" ā
"I don't need to." Murphy said directly, "We are friends, so there is no need to say such polite words." ā
After chatting with Margot Robbie, Murphy retrieved the materials he had with him, checked the latest developments in the film, and at the same time could pass the time for a boring journey.
Yesterday Monday, "City of Chaos" ushered in the first working day after its release in North America, thanks to the previous topic hype and good word-of-mouth, the film fell relatively well, earning $9.5 million in a single day, although it slipped below $10 million, but it is also a good result.
"Thor" did not have such a solid trend, affected by poor word-of-mouth, the film's single-day box office plummeted by more than 70 percent on Monday compared to last Sunday, and only received more than $3.4 million.
Many box office forecasters have also released the latest box office forecasts, and most believe that the final box office of "Thor" in North America will not exceed $150 million.
At the same time, these agencies predict that as long as "City of Chaos" does not see a significant drop at the box office this weekend, it will not be difficult for the North American box office to eventually exceed $200 million, and may even hit the $250 million mark.
Murphy is very clear that the second weekend in North America will not threaten "Chaos City" in the second weekend of "Thor" today, "Fast and Furious 5" has never caused much trouble, and what may really threaten "Chaos City" is the new film released this weekend.
Under normal circumstances, the first week of the summer season will consume the heat accumulated by quite a few fans, and the second weekend of the summer season is not a very good schedule, just like "City of Chaos" would rather choose the first week of the summer season, few Hollywood superstars will be released on the second weekend.
However, on the information that Murphy saw, a film still caught his attention, "The Hottest Bridesmaids" distributed by Universal Pictures will be released this weekend, this is a standard summer comedy, such a film has always been in the market as long as the quality is okay, and the producer of the film is Judd Apatow.
That is, the boss of the Apatou Party, another team fighting organization in Hollywood.
In today's Hollywood, there are three organizations that are recognized as more united and like to fight together, namely Murphy's own Stanton Party, the Apatow Party led by Judd Apatow, and the Rotten Boys Gang with Ben Stiller as the center.
The films produced by these three groups have always had good commercial results.
"The Hottest Bridesmaids" is also the only new film Murphy saw that this weekend has a real chance of doing well at the box office.
However, this film has a very different audience from "City of Chaos", and there will not be too direct competition between the two releases.
Compared with "The Hottest Bridal Group", Murphy is more concerned about the performance of "City of Chaos" in the overseas market, after all, his films have never performed particularly well overseas.
As soon as the plane arrived in London, Murphy and his party were surrounded by a large group of crazy British journalists, who were far crazier than their American counterparts, and even a large group of security personnel could not separate them.
"Stanton Director ......"
Most British journalists don't care about movies at all, and their minds are all about celebrity lace, "Are you really gay with James Franco?" ā
There are also reporters who saw Margot Robbie walking next to Murphy, and immediately moved their brains to the two of them. (To be continued.) )
