Chapter 677: An Unreliable Idea

If a movie wants to be a big hit, publicity and marketing are the key of the key. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Heath Ledger's death contributed a lot to the former "The Dark Knight", and countless historical experiences have proved that a dead main actor is far more important than a living one who contributes to the movie.

But Murphy doesn't want and won't let James Franco have an accident, so the film "Dark City" will definitely find another promotional point, and it will be the kind that can attract a lot of attention.

However, there are always some sudden unexpected situations in this world, which will make the original plan encounter some obstacles in the implementation.

Twentieth Century Fox has had some trouble in the UK, and it is said that it is likely that because of the James Murdoch relationship, the UK will ban a series of Fox Group films such as "The Dark City" from being released in the country, and for Murphy, if these evolve into reality, it will mean hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, as well as a major loss of more offline commercial profits.

"Is the British government crazy?"

Margot Robbie walked back and forth in the living room of Wave Manor and said to Gal Gadot on the couch, "Because of the Murdoch family, you are going to be angry with the whole Fox and our films?" ”

She signed a contract with the crew that also combines basic salary and box office dividends, and the box office figures that may be reduced will directly affect personal income.

"Damn it!" Margot Robbie cursed again.

Instead of speaking, Gal Gadot cocked up his fingers, first making a silent gesture, and then pointed to the other side of the living room, where Murphy was on the phone.

Margot Robbie obediently shut her mouth and walked over and sat down next to Gal Gadot.

"Okay, it's okay." Gal Gadot reassured, "It's just rumors that if the British do that, they will be violating the bilateral trade agreement between the UK and the US, and Downing Street won't be so stupid." ”

"Gail was right." Murphy came over after the call, "This is also a rumor, don't take it seriously." ”

"How's it going?" Gal Gadot asked with concern.

Murphy knew she was asking about a phone call she had just made, "I let Bill know that bugging doors, while bad, would not affect the distribution of Twentieth Century Fox films in the UK.

Margot Robbie breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine. ”

Gal Gadot shook his head, "The Murdoch family really dares to use any means for the sake of news and profit. ”

She glanced at Murphy and admonished, "You have to guard against James Murdoch." ”

Murphy nodded, "I know, you can rest assured." ”

From the very beginning, he was very careful to prevent being wiretapped, and Murphy didn't want himself and Gal Gadot to be victims of bugging.

This rumor that "The Dark City" was unfavorable for its release in the UK came precisely from the negative impact of Buggate.

After a long period of investigation and fermentation, in the past year or so, News Corporation's 'wiretapping' has become a hot news event in the world, not to mention the huge pressure faced by News Corp and Rupert Murdoch, even Twentieth Century Fox has been affected.

News Corp., once a glorious company, can now be said to have fallen into a storm.

As the investigation by the British side deepened, more and more British and American celebrities appeared on News Corp's eavesdropping list.

Scotland Yard in the United Kingdom and the FBI in the United States have published a list of 6,000 people who have been wiretapped.

These include members of the British royal family, Princesses Ogenie and Yorkby Aterice, Prince William and Harry, actress Sienna Miller, British Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and his wife Tessa Jowell, football stars Ryan Giggs, David Beckham and Paul Scholes, among others.

On the U.S. side, the victims include well-known actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the famous band Lincoln Park, the family members of the fallen American soldiers, and several unnamed members of Congress and state senators.

The British Parliament also held several hearings on the 'wiretapping' incident, and Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng were personally present to be questioned, one of which was accompanied by an accident near the end of the questioning.

During questioning, a man in a plaid shirt sitting in the back row of the gallery suddenly stood up, walked briskly to the witness stand, and smashed Rupert Murdoch with a paper plate full of shaving foam in his hand.

Everyone else froze, no one realized to stop the attackers, not even Murdoch himself froze, and the police did not react immediately.

Deng Wendi jumped up from the chair like lightning at this time, flew forward, and slapped the attacker in the face with his right palm......

The wife defends her husband, and Wendi Deng's image has changed dramatically with this slap.

After the unexpected hearing, there were also a lot of reports in some media about Wendi Deng's flying husband, some people said that Wendi Deng showed extraordinary courage and should be awarded the title of "Wife of the Year"; Some people said that "Wendi Deng's movements were so fast that the slow police officers in the courtroom were dwarfed"; There are also newspapers that she showed what it means to be a model couple at the hearing.

Through television and other media, the picture of Rupert Murdoch's attack on the watch was presented to the public, which effectively alleviated the anger of the government and the people over the wiretapping incident, and the situation faced by the Murdoch family and News Corp. has been improved to a certain extent, and even some well-known public relations figures believe that News Corp. not long ago hired a well-known American public relations firm to improve its corporate image, which is not as good as Wendi Deng's slap in the face.

"It was definitely a very beautiful crisis PR."

The three of them talked about it, not to mention Murphy, and even Margot Robbie felt that behind the attack was not as simple as it seemed.

"None of these things will affect our films." Looking at the time, Murphy said to Gal Gadot again, "I'll go to the study and look at the script you brought, and you're urging Kara to let Twentieth Century Fox continue to operate according to the plan that was laid out earlier." ”

Seeing Gal Gadot nodding, he said to Margot Robbie again, "Stay and eat at noon." ”

"Okay." Margot Robbie wouldn't be polite to Murphy, "I'm going to eat French food." ”

"No problem." Murphy gestured to the butler on the other side of the living room and said to the two of them, "You talk, I'm going to the study." ”

Seeing Murphy go up the stairs and the housekeeper went to the kitchen to inform the cook, Margot Robbie asked curiously, "The script you brought Murphy?" Is it the sadomasochistic story of Mary Sue and the domineering president you mentioned some time ago? ”

"That's right." Gal Gadot said simply, "The screenwriter I hired wrote the first draft of the script, brought it to Murphy to see, and after next year's Oscars, I will be ready to recruit actors and directors." ”

"I have an idea." Margot Robbie blinked and said mysteriously, "You and Murphy are going to star on their own." ”

Without waiting for Gal Gadot to react, she said anxiously, "Don't you guys play this game often?" ”

"Maggie!" Gal Gadot couldn't help but raise his voice, "How can this kind of thing be put on a movie!" ”

Margot Robbie immediately raised her hand, "I'm just a proposal." ”

Gal Gadot shook his head, "I can make you the heroine if you want." ”

"Yes." Margot Robbie tilted her head to look at Gal Gadot and said in a deliberately joking tone, "Change the other role to a woman, and then you will play it...... Oops......"

She covered her forehead, looked at Gal Gadot's withdrawn fingers, and said dissatisfiedly, "It hurts! ”

"Don't come up with such a bad idea." Gal Gadot curled his finger again and shook it in front of Margot Robbie's eyes, "How can this kind of fetish be said casually. ”

"What's this?" Margot Robbie doesn't care, "Which Hollywood star doesn't have some quirks." ”

Gal Gadot knows what Margot Robbie is telling is true, but it's not the same.

She has integrated into this circle, and of course she has heard many strange rumors of big-name stars.

For example, many Hollywood stars, although they are paid a lot of money, have a very critical side.

At the last minute of Julia Roberts and Danny Maud's wedding, she also went on a shopping spree at "Walmart", where the big-mouthed star bought hot dogs, burgers, popcorn, cabbage, etc., and those guests who flew from thousands of miles away, ate such food!

There's also a famously unplucked iron rooster in Hollywood — Catherine Zeta-Jones — who never made more than four figures in donations to a charity dinner, and shocked the audience by being willing to bid for only $25 at a charity fundraiser in Los Angeles, which revealed her unwavering nature.

Of course, the quirks of Hollywood stars are endless, and these are nothing.

Like Johnny Depp likes to collect Barbie dolls, Tom Hanks likes to walk around naked on the terrace, Jennifer Lopez likes to eat breakfast naked with friends and family, Nicole Kidman can collapse when she is hit by a butterfly, etc., it's not a secret for a long time.

Maybe it's because Hollywood stars have too much money to spend, or maybe they're under too much mental pressure, they have all kinds of strange habits in life, diet, money, pets, and even good things.

For example, George Clooney likes to sleep with white pigs, Madonna loves to eat popcorn and can be naked in the cinema as long as there is popcorn to eat, and Robert De Niro, the "godfather", can't work without salad and coleslaw.

and Liv Taylor, who was once a "vegetarian", started eating meat because of the loss of love; Wealthy people such as Bruce Wiley and Spielberg have too much money to spend, the former building their villas like royal palaces, and the latter actually bringing their own traffic lights in their villas; The superstars, who are so empty that they are only accompanied by pets, dare to raise anything, from insectivorous spiders to African orangutans......

As for her and Murphy, if this unique habit spreads, I'm afraid it will also surprise the ground's eyeballs.
