As the largest entertainment agency in Hollywood, CAA has many well-known big director clients, in order to adapt to the development and changes of the times, they are also studying how to make better use of the director's own reputation and appeal to further drive the work, after several years of field testing and investigation, it is found that the first-line director is like a star, and it is not a good way to appear very affable among fans. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the contrary, the directors appropriately distance themselves from the fans and maintain a certain mystery of themselves and their works, which attracts more attention.
Although they are in Hollywood, different professions also have their own different rules of survival.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Murphy rarely interacted directly with fans, just like the CAA survey, the number of fans who supported him did not decrease, but increased.
This is also related to the characteristics of the industry itself, directors ultimately rely on their works to speak, and stars sometimes don't need to.
For example, since winning the Oscar, star actors like Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman have very few works that can be mastered, but they are still popular in half the sky.
Murphy and Carla Firth were in the closed backstage rest, patiently watching Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie interact with fans in the front desk.
It wasn't until the final fan question session that Murphy and Carla Firth took to the stage of the showroom.
At an event like this, almost all of the people and questions asked were arranged in advance, and Murphy, Henry Cavill, and Margot Robbie were all able to cope with it easily.
However, at the last moment, the problem was really handed over to the fans at the scene.
"Murphy, can I ask you a question?"
It was a female fan standing in the front row who saw Murphy make a gesture of please and asked, "You make a movie that is different from those simple and brainless popcorns, we love it very much, how did you do it?" ”
Without waiting for Murphy to answer, she asked a second question, "Also, are there a lot of dead characters in your films?" ”
"Most of the films are like softcore nowadays, and I still miss the traditional way of telling stories." Although the first question was not very sharp, Murphy's words were very eye-catching, especially when the reporters at the scene heard his first sentence, they immediately cheered up, and many people even thought of the title of the report - Murphy Stanton's bombardment of Hollywood movies is soft pornography......
Murphy said this on purpose, of course, and there was never less controversy surrounding him, and he didn't mind any more.
So, he continued, "Any idea what else I miss? It was an era when movies were mainly storytelling. Now the girls in commercial movies are wearing less and less, and they all look like they have had breast augmentation. I know I sound like a stubborn old man, but it's true. ”
Fans burst into laughter, but if you think about it, Murphy's words make a lot of sense, isn't that what commercial movies are like now?
Journalists in the media section were also in high spirits, and they were never afraid of controversial figures saying more controversial things.
But Murphy knew the right thing to do, and then changed the subject, "I make movies for the side of my avid fans; It's about giving yourself strength; I make movies to experience the lives of my characters, to explore the things that usually scare me. I make movies to do what all fans fantasize about when they see the story. ”
He spread his hands and said loudly, "I like magic movies, I like action movies, I like science fiction movies, and I'm interested in things that don't really happen in life, because they are a kind of commentary on real life, but in the end, I'm most interested in the adventure and excitement that movies can bring." ”
"As for why so many characters die in my films...... Murphy groaned for a moment, adding, "Every time I shoot someone, I feel very refreshed and light-hearted." Don't call me a 'character killer', Shakespeare did this a lot more than I did. ”
Not only the fans now, but even Margot Robbie and Henry Cavill on stage laughed.
Another male fan took the microphone and asked the question back to the movie itself, "Murphy, is James Franco's character in "City of Chaos" a hole dug for the future?" and the relationship between Reina's death and Jay Rachel's father, neither of which gives an answer, is the story of the second part immediately following the first? ”
Twentieth Century Fox and Murphy himself have previously acknowledged that there is a second part of "City of Chaos", but they have never answered this topic head-on.
Murphy exchanged a look with Carla Firth next to him, made a decision in an instant, and then he said, "The story of the second part will follow the first part, and James Franco's horn ** wizard will be the second male lead in the second part." ”
After revealing some information, he added, "I'm going to fill in the holes that I dug up, and in my films, I want everything to be a complete experience." If I dig a hole for you and leave it alone, then ...... f**k。 ”
The day after the San Diego Comic-Con event, the media was full of news related to Murphy, and many newspapers habitually focused their reports on those controversial content, but since Murphy dared to say it, he was naturally not afraid of them reporting.
Compared with traditional newspapers and other paper media, on the Internet, whether it is the discussion forum of IMDB, or Murphy's official social networking site, or the spontaneous remarks of fans, the voice of Murphy's praise occupies an absolute advantage, and many people praise Murphy while expressing their expectations for the sequel to "City of Chaos".
"Yesterday at the San Diego Comic-Con, I finally got the news that the sequel to "City of Chaos" is planning the script, and the stone hanging in my heart has finally fallen, and I believe that this film created by Murphy himself must be a feast and should not be missed!"
This is a pinned message on the Murphy Stanton discussion board on IMDB, and it easily exceeded 10,000 views.
"A good movie will shock and surprise you in every way, like a galaxy where every star shines, and when you find one, the other catches your attention, and Murphy Stanton is always the brightest one."
The fan who left a message under Murphy's official Twitter account easily received close to 100,000 likes.
In the study of Wave Manor, Gal Gadot buttoned up his laptop, pulled out his chair, picked up the teapot and went to Murphy's desk, poured him a cup of black tea, but said nothing.
Murphy grabbed one of her hands, kissed it lightly on the back of it, put down his work for a moment, looked up, and said, "Thank you, dear. ”
Gal Gadot ignored him and instead tilted his head to look at the laptop screen, which was a paragraph from a script.
"First scene, first act!"
"The weather was gloomy, heavy rain could fall at any moment, the wet wind was blowing in through the windows of the church, and the little boy Diego Rose was carried forward by the priest."
"The priest asked: Did your adoptive parents treat you badly?"
"Diego Rose replied: They abused me and injured me."
"The priest said lovingly: I look at your wounds, I have medicine here, come with me, the Lord will not abandon any devout believer......"
Seeing this, Gal Gadot still didn't speak, turned around and went back to behind his desk to deal with some work and data after the screening of "City of Chaos".
Murphy picked up the teacup, took a sip, stood up and walked behind Gal Gadot, stretched out his hand and gently massaged her shoulder, Gal Gadot still ignored him, just busy with his own work, and didn't seem to want to say a word.
While it's rare for two people to fall awkward, any couple is bound to stumble in life, and Murphy and Gal Gadot are no exception.
Murphy could tell, and Gal Gadot was a little angry.
"Still angry?" Murphy moved up with one hand, gently rubbing Gal Gadot's visibly furrowed brow, and said, "The brow is wrinkled too much, it will wrinkle." ”
I don't know if it was his massage that worked, or if the words he said worked, Gal Gadot's already inconspicuous eyebrow knot disappeared immediately.
Murphy continued, "I'm going to be taking pictures of Vogue in a few days, so be careful that it doesn't look good. ”
Gal Gadot lowered his head slightly, glanced at the plans for a sequel to "City of Chaos", and asked, "Now we can prepare this one." ”
"My dear ......" Murphy knew why Gal Gadot was angry, sighed softly, and said, "I have promised Ross what he has promised, and I will definitely do it." ”
After careful consideration, he has decided to use the gap between "City of Chaos" and the sequel to shoot and produce a personal biographical film of Rose, which is also an explanation to his friends.
He couldn't get Rose out of prison, and he had to fulfill this not-so-extravagant wish.
Gal Gadot has been visibly unhappy since he started writing the script for Rose's film, especially since Murphy didn't say a word this morning after she called Carla Firth specifically to talk about the release of the film.
If it were someone else, Murphy wouldn't pay attention to it at all, but Gal Gadot was different, this was the closest person he was to in this world,
He bent down and grabbed Gal Gadot from behind, "Honey, you can't make me a man who is dishonest to my friends, can you?" ”
Gal Gadot struggled for a moment, stood up, and turned to face Murphy, "I know, I can't change your mind, and you won't put this project in the hands of anyone else. ”
Now, she can't see where Murphy doesn't want to throw Rose's film to other directors at all.
"I can't stop you." The worry in Gal Gadot's eyes was unusually palpable, "You can go and make this film." ”
Murphy breathed a sigh of relief, but Gal Gadot's voice suddenly raised, "But why are you involved in Catholicism?" (To be continued.) )
