Chapter two hundred and eighty second reduced to cannon fodder

"But Murphy Stanton is working with Marvel."

Diego Harris still has great doubts about this. Marvel Comics and DC Comics have always been competitors.

Bruce Rosenblum laughed, "I've learned that he has a bad relationship with Marvel, and he also rejected Stan Lee's request to make a cameo appearance in "Deadpool".

"If Deadpool hits the box office worldwide," Diego Harris knew what he was going to do, "I support working with Murphy Stanton."

"I think so too," said Bruce Rosenblum. "We will first watch the market changes in Deadpool, and it will not be too late to make a decision."

The subsequent film market development this weekend is like the Friday that has passed, with no suspense at all. Whether it is the attendance rate, audience number, reputation and film schedule rate, "Deadpool" has been a few streets in "Catwoman".

In the office of the Burbank Warner Building, Bruce Berman looked grim, and the blue veins on the back of the hand holding the phone were bulging, as if blood vessels would burst at any time.

"Notify our production department," he said almost coldly, "crossed off the list of front-line cooperation. All the heroines of Warner Bros. A-level productions will not be enabled in the future."

He added, "There is also director Pitofoe, Warner Bros. will not work with him in the future."

The failure of "Catwoman" is irreversible, and there is always someone responsible for it. The actors and directors are the best targets for the blame.

Bruce Berman never believed that the failure of this film had something to do with him as the promoter, and of course failure was the responsibility of others.

Almost at the same time, there was almost a consensus within the six major Hollywood companies that no longer risked Harley Berry as the heroine of the A-level production.

“It’s that realistic in Hollywood.”

Murphy received the relevant news. It was already Monday morning. He looked at Gal Gadot, who had packed his backpack and was about to return to school today, and said, "Even an Oscar-winning actress, it would be difficult for him to withstand such a painful blow."

"But isn't this the case with other Oscar winners?" Gal Gadot was a little confused.

"Because they are not black people." Murphy said, "They have more opportunities."

Gal Gadot walked to the water dispenser and received a glass of water for himself. "Halley Berry can't really play the heroine in a super big production?"

Murphy shook her head, "It's very difficult. Except for the Storm Girl who has solidified her image, it's difficult for her to appear in the A-level production in the future."

Halle Berry's pay is here, and it cannot be reduced casually. Now that "Catwoman" has been screwed up, no one will ask her to be the heroine of A-level production again. She is not the heroine, and few crews are willing to spend such a high pay.

Turning his head and looking at the wall clock, Gal Gadot reminded, "It's almost time, it's time for you to leave."

Murphy nodded, walked over and kissed Gal Gadot's face, lifted up the suitcase that had been placed in the entrance hall, pushed open the door, and Gal Gadot followed him out and kept sending him into the garage.

Helping Murphy put his luggage, Gale Gadot grabbed him and reminded him, "Remember to call me every day. Also, eat on time every day, don't use the excuse of being busy with work; be careful of those crazy movie fans; don't be too aggressive, don't be too tough when it should be gentle..."

"Don't worry." Murphy hugged her, kissed her deeply, and then got into the car, "Goodbye, my dear."

"goodbye."

Watching Murphy drive away and start this overseas publicity journey to Los Angeles Airport. Gal Gadot stood at the garage door for a while until the black Cadillac disappeared completely. Then he closed the garage door and returned to the main building.

There was no class in the morning, so she was not in a hurry to leave. She sat on the sofa, picked up the newspaper on the coffee table, flipped to the entertainment page, and started reading again.

There is a lot of good news about Murphy and Deadpool, which she never tires of watching.

"Deadpool easily won the North American box office list, and "Catwoman" was not well-done and became cannon fodder!"

Although he reminded Murphy not to be too aggressive in his work, Gal Gadot felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart when he saw this title. Those who blocked his boyfriend's path would be swept away like garbage!

"Due to the weak firepower of the newly-opened "Catwoman", this week's list champion, still dominated the old film. The r-level superhero action film "Deadpool" directed by Murphy Stanton won another $45 million in the next weekend, and it won the weekend championship relatively easily. The cumulative revenue of the film reached $186.3 million in two weeks, temporarily ranking first in this year's annual box office list!"

"Affected by Deadpool, "Catwoman" produced and released by Warner Bros. performed extremely poorly in the first weekend, and only got a seriously lower than expected US$14.8 million in three days. The box office in North America is bound to be unable to exceed US$50 million. It is far from the production cost line of US$100 million. It can only rely on overseas box office performance to try whether it can recover the cost."

"In addition, both superhero movies are different from "Deadpool"'s box office and reputation. While "Catwoman" failed, its reputation was also terrible. The movie's theater audience score was d, and the popcorn point dropped to 22%, which made the audience's reputation very poor. The media comments of the film were all lost. Rotten Tomato website included only 10% of the film's 78 media outlets, and only 10% of the film gave positive reviews, with an average score of 3.1 points..."

Even as an outsider, Gal Gadot can see that "Catwoman" will no longer pose any threat to "Deadpool", and this is not a film of the same level at all.

Although Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. went to London to prepare for the upcoming European premiere of Deadpool, Twentieth Century Fox's promotional marketing in North America continues, and the film's topics are hot enough that they are still creating topics to attract more passers-by audiences.

"The cumulative box office of "Deadpool" in North America is close to $200 million, and the cute hero dominates the April Shadow Market in North America!"

“Deadpool became the box office winner in North America this year!”

Similar news and topics are constantly being thrown out by Twentieth Century Fox through its huge media platforms and group companies.

Cara Fais, who stayed in North America, also accepted an interview and continued to throw out loud news, saying that "Deadpool" became the big box office winner, which was completely beyond the expectations of 20th Century Fox. Their initial estimate for the box office of this movie was only $60-65 million, but everything Murphy Stanton did made the film a qualitative change!

However, the r-level grading, high-density pornographic jokes and various fancy jokes also brought some trouble. When Murphy arrived in the UK, he received the latest news from 20th Century Fox. The film missed the Chinese market that Hollywood is vigorously developing.

There is no surprise that "Deadpool" can pass the review of the big scissors. Even if 20th Century Fox stepped up the public relations, this film has no hope of appearing on the Chinese screen. It is full of pornographic elements of all plots. How can the big scissors start? You can't really cut a movie that is more than 90 minutes into more than ten minutes, right?

Of course, this was just Murphy's bored random thoughts. He had never expected "Deadpool" to enter the market across the Pacific through theaters, and so far, all the videos he shot could not be released in theaters over there.

Every country has its own situation, and Murphy doesn't feel anything about it, film and cultural censorship are common all over the world, and it is not exclusive to one on the other side of the Pacific.

These are not under Murphy's considerations for the time being. Since he came to Europe to promote the film, he would inevitably be interviewed.

The day after coming to London, Murphy accepted an exclusive interview with The Times.

The guys on Fleet Street are not easy to deal with, and their first problem is very sharp.

"Director Stanton, someone commented before," the young British journalist was not polite. "The Deadpool can make a big deal not by the movie itself, but by some insignificant elements such as ****, swear words and pornographic jokes."

"To say "Deadpool" makes money by making money is an insult to the movie." Murphy knew what British journalists were, and he was not as implicit as when he was in the United States. "Deadpool is a completely different type of heroic story, and these stories only happen to Deadpool, unlike Superman, Spider-Man and Wolverine, etc."

He organized the language a little, "These people are born to be light, and Deadpool is born to be dead. To put it bluntly, not every superhero is suitable to pull down his underwear and get rid of his integrity."

The reporter said again, "Can you talk about it in detail?"

"Let's talk about Wolverine who is also in the X-Men world. He has a violent personality and has been transformed into a murder machine, but Wolverine has only rebelliousness. In the videos and comics, most of the time, Wolverine has only the expression..."

Murphy crossed his hands and made a classic Wolverine's angry posture, "exploding, exploding, and all kinds of explosions showing off their figures are also destructive of the world. Wolverine left after fighting, handsome and cool. And Deadpool will kill himself, and leave a middle finger for the world before death."

"This kind of humor that tear yourself apart and then salts the wound is the key to Deadpool's popularity." Murphy shrugged, "You know, for today's movie protagonists, self-deprecating is the most economical way to accumulate fans."

The reporter seemed to have not expected Murphy to speak such a theory, and was a little stunned.

This is not over yet. Murphy needs more news about "Deadpool" in the Fleet Street media the next day, and said, "Now, most of the mainstream commercial films in Hollywood can be classified as hero movies. There are always a heroic figures that can save the world or other heroes, but there are too many such films in Hollywood, and the audience is also fucked by hero routines. The appearance of "Deadpool" has opened up a new world for the audience. As a director, I can say responsibly that "Deadpool" has not been in full swing from the first minute to the last minute, and this is exactly what the audience loves most now."
