Since the beginning of the new century, the investment in Hollywood's commercial blockbusters has become higher and higher, resulting in more and more pressure to return to the cost, resulting in a group of anti-Hollywood people led by the media on the European continent. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A film that costs $50 million to produce and box office $100 million can lose $20 million to $30 million in the end.

This is almost a common phenomenon in Hollywood.

But Hollywood did not collapse and did not reduce the enthusiasm of investors, but more big productions and high investment were produced.

All this is because in addition to the film in theaters, it can also generate more revenue offline.

Just as VCRs and videotapes saved Hollywood's studios in the eighties, Hollywood is now reaping the dividends of DVD popularity.

Stanton Studios is also enjoying this dividend.

Twentieth Century Fox paid less than $9 million at the North American box office, while the first North American DVD share was $20 million! There is also a share of TV copyrights and peripheral dolls......

This is the first settlement between Twentieth Century Fox and Stanton Studios, and Stanton Studios has received a total of $35 million!

In one year, the investment of $15 million has more than doubled, which is enough to make countless people and companies envious of their eyes.

"That's not enough money to buy a luxury yacht."

In a brand new mansion in Beverly Hills, Robert Downey Jr.'s voice was unusually loud, "You can't be a top chick without a yacht." ”

He walked around the spacious living room and said to Murphy, "It's only a stupid girl like Gal Gadot who will follow you, and replace me, I have such good conditions to kick you a long time ago!" ”

Murphy didn't bother to talk to him, just raised his left hand high and raised a middle finger at Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. didn't care and continued, "I don't care, you're going to have a party, a big celebration party!" ”

Murphy had already prepared, "In another week, Gale will come back from Israel, waiting for her to come back." ”

"Don't ......," Jonah Hill jumped up from the couch in a hurry, "Susan has gone to England, Gail has returned to Israel, Lily has gone to find her dad, we are finally free, how can we arrange a party after they come back?" ”

He nudged Seth Rogan, who was whispering to James Franco, "What I said makes sense, right?" ”

"Makes sense." Seth Rogan lifted his glasses, not knowing what he was talking about, just nodding in agreement, "Do what you say best." ”

Jonah Hill walked over to Robert Downey Jr. and looked at Murphy, "Fifty beauties, blondes, long legs, models or TV commercial actors, actresses from the San Fernando Valley, I'm not too demanding, right?" ”

"You're not afraid of getting AIDS?" Murphy sneered unceremoniously, "I've heard that many women in the circle are not very clean. ”

"This ......," Jonah Hill scratched his head, "so what do you say?" ”

"Let's find a girlfriend," Murphy came up with a bad idea, "Victoria's Secret's supermodel is very suitable for you, if one is not enjoyable, you can find one, kick one, change three a year, it's much safer than having a party and messing around." ”

He remembers very well that not only are some people unclean in Hollywood, but there was also a famous actor who was diagnosed with AIDS, and the other party had affairs with many actresses in the circle.

There are some things that should not be overly divided.

"Ten days from now, there's going to be a party in my house." Murphy added, "A few of the top executives of Twentieth Century Fox will be in attendance, so come along." ”

James Franco understood Murphy's intentions, "You guys, go together." ”

"I'll be there on time." Robert Downey Jr. also understands that Murphy is helping them create an opportunity to get closer to the top of Twentieth Century Fox, "with Susan." ”

Some parties are not suitable for bringing girlfriends or family members, but some parties, if you bring your family, are more likely to build trust with each other.

"What about yachts?" Seth Rogen, the guy realized it and asked Murphy, "Do you still want to buy it?" ”

"What to buy?" Murphy stood up, "I'm going to prepare a new movie." ”

With that, he looked at James Franco, "Is your comedy done?" ”

James Franco shook his head, "It won't be all done until September." ”

Murphy calculated, "It's too late, I'll give you a book after a while, you can take a look first, it's still a black film, the theme of this film is black, if you're interested, let's talk about it." ”

"Isn't it "Deadpool" that is dark on the outside and warm on the inside?" Robert Downey Jr. also came to be interested, "Even the theme is black? ”

"Hmm......" Murphy nodded, "Hollywood always likes to promote some so-called mainstream values, and always wraps America in an incomparably wonderful shell, and family and family affection always overcome thousands of obstacles in the film." ”

He spread his hands, "But actually? Well? We all know that many families in North America have problems, and they are not as good as they are shown in the film. ”

James Franco understood what Murphy meant, "So you're going to peel off this nice skin?" ”

"It's not." Murphy shook his head, "It's just a gimmick, a topic, and a tool to attract people. ”

A theme that stands out from the crowd creates enough to make it happen.

"Sure enough, it's Murphy Stanton's style." Jonah Hill stepped up and said, "Always use different content to appeal to audiences who are tired of commercial films." ”

Some films that seem to be non-mainstream can actually cause a lot of buzz sometimes.

Glancing at his watch, Murphy said to Robert Downey Jr., "I made an appointment for the evening and went first." ”

After saying goodbye to a few people, he left Beverly Hills and entered the city center, where Rose called last night and asked him to meet today, again at the old bar.

After parking the car, Murphy entered the bar, and in the old position of the bar, saw Rose sitting there alone.

"Hi, Murphy."

As he walked over, the familiar bald black man sitting nearby took the initiative to greet him, and Murphy nodded, "Long time no see." ”

Arriving at the bar, Murphy sat down in the high chair next to Ross and snapped his fingers at the bartender, "Have a stout." ”

"Something?" If it's okay, Rose won't look for him.

The bartender brought in a beer, and Rose picked up the glass, touched it lightly, took a big sip of the beer, and said, "The person investigating you is a guy named Mike Snod, from the CAA." ”

"I know." Murphy nodded.

Jessica Chastain had already told him and Bill Rossis about this, and the two of them had buried a big hole for Mike.

"And ......," Rose pulled out a picture and pushed it to Murphy, "my men heard the two of them plotting this. ”

Murphy took the photo and looked down, the two people on it were familiar, one was Mike from CAA, and the other was Martin Miller from William Morris.

That's really interesting.

He couldn't help but shake his head and smile, this is Mike preparing to change jobs? Or is Martin Miller coming to CAA?

The latter is unlikely, the former has a certain chance, the question is that Mike has to have a heavyweight customer in his hands, right? Or what else would William Morris do when he poached him?

"Actually, their target is you." Rose glanced at Murphy, "My people overheard their conversation, the one named Mike wants to be your agent, and the other wants to poach you into his company. ”

"Uh......" Murphy froze.

When did you become a sought-after item?

He coughed lightly and said, "They checked my old bottom, probably trying to blackmail me, right?" ”

Rose nodded, "I guess it should be." ”

Picking up the bar, Murphy took a big sip, "What can they find?" Even if I find you, it's useless. ”

He didn't care that the other party found out about these things at all, not to mention that the Los Angeles Police Department had long chosen to keep the original matter a secret, just his relationship with Ross was at most pulled out and hyped up, and his reputation as a director had deteriorated.

The director is not a star, this kind of reputation does not matter at all, and he only has a relationship with Rose, he knows nothing about the various activities he is engaged in, and there is no economic and interest relationship between the two parties, even if someone really wants to do something, there is no substantial evidence.

What's more, he and Bill Rothes are not people who will only be beaten passively.

"Be careful yourself." Rose drank the beer from his cup and stood up, "It's no easier outside than inside the prison." ”

"Don't worry." Murphy deliberately made a joke, "I still understand the truth of self-preservation." ”

Rose turned his head to look at him, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly thought of something, and the smile stopped suddenly, "Murphy......"

"Huh?" Murphy looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay...... Rose didn't say what he was thinking in the end, he raised his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Take care in the future." ”

"So are you." Murphy also stood up.

Rose nodded, said no more, gestured to the bald black man, and walked out of the bar with a few of his men.

Murphy knew about these things for a long time, and he didn't need to make special measures, but he called Bill Rothes the next day, and Bill Rothes didn't pay much attention to it.

Just like Murphy, the position of the station is different, and the small actions made by some inconsequential people will only become a joke in their eyes.

In the days that followed, Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox, with the assistance of David, the accountant, continued to deal with a series of accounting tasks until the end of the week.

This weekend, Gal Gadot also returned to Los Angeles from Israel.

"You don't know, my mom was so angry."

After making out, Gal Gadot came out of the bathroom, wiped his hair, and said to the cloakroom, "I almost won't be back." ”

She glanced at the time and pointed to the large tote bag on the cabinet in the cloakroom door, "Honey, help me get my phone out." ”

After changing into sports shorts, Murphy walked out and opened his handbag, but the first thing he saw was a book, he took out the book, put it aside, found Gal Gadot's mobile phone, and was about to go over to give it to her, but was attracted by the name of the book that suddenly broke into his sight.
