Chapter 296 Wife Killing Movie
"Black actors are too troublesome, too difficult to deal with, and they are also fond of heart."
In front of Murphy, Cara Fiss did not hide it. "The important thing is that I don't like them at all. Paul Anderson also recommended Milla Jovovich, so I changed the screenwriter to a white man."
Like Murphy, she actually didn't pay much attention to the so-called political correctness of Hollywood movies.
"Where is your new project?" Cara Fais mentioned the new movie that Murphy temporarily put aside, "When will it continue?"
Murphy thought for a while and said, "After getting the negotiations for "Song of Ice and Fire", if the negotiations have not progressed by next month, I will leave them all to Bill."
Carla Fiss also heard Murphy mention the content of the new project and asked strangely, "Why did you choose such a subject?"
"The big sale of Deadpool made me famous and was also considered by many to be the most promising young director in Hollywood." Murphy's voice was stable, completely telling the truth, "but there would be negative reactions. If I was considered a completely commercial director by the old men in the academy, it would be more troublesome."
Cara Fes understood, "You still miss the Oscar Little Golden Man."
"In this circle, are there a few directors who don't want to win the best director Little Golden Man?" Murphy pointed to himself, "I really want to, I never deny this."
"So, did you choose such a topic that is not very commercial?" Kara Fis asked.
"It just looks less commercial on the surface." Murphy shrugged, "In fact, it's still very entertaining. I can't do business at a loss."
He laughed, "I asked myself that I don't have the ability like James Cameron, and I can't make those old men bow their heads by relying solely on business. I have to make some choices in terms of subject matter."
If the old men of the students completely positioned him as a Michael Bell-like commercial or comic director, I'm afraid that the Oscar little golden man might not be able to get it until his hair is gray.
The obsession with the Oscar Little Golden Man is not only here, but also from the past.
Many practitioners in the film industry across the Pacific have a deep obsession with Oscars, and he was inevitably affected.
Moreover, due to his personal preferences, his concepts are somewhat deviated. He always believes that the weight of the Oscar Little Golden Man is far more important than the highest awards of the three major international film festivals.
Many people will definitely sneer at his perception, but everyone always has different views on different matters.
He was not very interested in the awards of the three major international film festivals, but the Oscar Little Golden Man wanted to get it.
Most directors can win Oscars and gold, not only rely on the films, but many directors will often be turned a blind eye to the old men of the academy even if they work hard.
The representatives are undoubtedly typical commercial film directors and directors who come from commercial shooting.
Murphy knew very well that Oscars always only chose the right one and may not choose the best one.
Therefore, while shooting commercial films, he also chose some films that don’t seem to be very commercial, but are actually commercial.
While being able to make commercial profits, it can be shown to the outside world that Murphy Stanton is not a pure commercial director, but still has great pursuits.
Although the theme of the new project is dark and even has a bad view, it can continue the usual style of independent films he has filmed before and show a unique style.
Today's Hollywood movies are seriously lacking in creativity. It's not that they don't have creativity, but that creativity is almost equal to risk. Few companies are willing to take huge risks. Therefore, you can always see Hollywood adaptations, sequels and remakes rampant. There are very few original works on the investment list of the six major companies every year.
"Alien vs. Predator" is not a sequel, but an epic collision between two famous Hollywood screen monsters. Although this film has encountered many protests from its respective fans before, the gimmicks brought by Paul Anderson and the production of the passing line have attracted many viewers to the theater.
In the three days of the first weekend, "Alien vs. Predator" took more than 41 million US dollars from more than 3,400 theaters in North America, successfully achieving the goal set before the screening. Such a first weekend box office basically means that the film can enter the ranks of a 100 million yuan club in North America.
Two films promoted by one hand have made great successes one after another, and Cara Fais has gained a firm foothold in Twentieth Century Fox and has shown his strength.
This is undoubtedly extremely beneficial for her to continue to move to a higher position.
Helping Kara Fis cheer back, there was still no good news from Bill Rossis. Murphy simply picked up the work he had thrown away and wrote the script outline, formulated a project plan, and drew some continuous drawing boards.
When Murphy finished the script outline and began to fill in the outline template, Gal Gadot became the first reader.
"When I think of my wife, she always thinks of her head. I imagine opening her cute head, studying her brain, and seeking answers..."
After reading only one sentence, Gal Gadot felt creepy. Without looking down, you can know that the man who said such words must not be a normal man.
"Is this a wife-killing movie?" Gal Gadot immediately remembered the Simpson wife-killing case that shocked the whole United States.
He looked at Murphy sitting in front of the drawing board, well... his boyfriend is still normal.
However, Gal Gadot sighed and murmured to himself, "Why do he always like to look at the dark side of humanity?"
Sitting on the chair, holding up his chin with one hand, Gal Gadot watched Murphy paint there, and could vaguely see the faint scars on his side, with a look of thought on his face. After a while, he nodded slowly.
She has lived a wealthy life since childhood and has never encountered any difficulties in survival. Murphy is different from her. She grew up in a slum. In his own words, she also has a very bastard and a teenager and youth who cannot be looked back on. Later, she went to prison and stayed for a whole year before she came out...
In fact, you can guess without thinking too much. He has seen some dark things since he was a child. After experiencing a situation that she unimaginable, the environment will inevitably affect people, which will lead to the subject he chose after becoming a director...
Gal Gadot shook his head, feeling a little lucky in his heart. Murphy's dark side has always been displayed in the film, and life has always been full of sunshine and positive.
Seeing Murphy put down the carbon pencil, Gal Gadot stood up and walked over. The drawing board was a painting. Although Murphy's painting skills could not be praised, she could also see that it seemed like a woman fell into the water with her head facing down.
"It's really a topic of killing your wife?" asked Gal Gadot.
"No." Murphy shook his head, "Dear, what you see is used to confuse the audience and arouse the audience's curiosity."
Gal Gadot stood behind his chair and reached out to sort out Murphy's messy hair, "Can you tell me?"
In the early stage of the establishment of a project, it must be kept to a certain extent, but Gal Gadot is not among the ranks. Murphy organized it a little and said, "This is a black humorous and heavy-tasting suspenseful love movie based on modern urban life, telling the story of a couple from different classes who love and kill each other, control each other, and finally can't be separated."
"Why..." Gal Gadot was still quite puzzled, "Why are the things you write and draw now that are like a husband murdering his wife?"
"The need for future movies is to be precise, to attract audiences." Murphy put down the carbon pen, pulled out a wet wipe, and said while rubbing his hands. "A good movie must make people fall into it, and wishfully believe in the exquisite pictures, precise scheduling, and editing of hand-ups are all for telling this story well, rather than deliberately showing off skills, so that the film's sense of form surpasses the story itself, and these are what they serve in the future."
Gal Gadot nodded, "So, what I see is the illusion in the future video? It's not killing a wife."
"No." Murphy shook his head, "This is a story of love and hate between lovers."
"That's it," Gal Gadot glanced at the drawing board again, and found a line of small words in the corners of the drawing, "Is this the name of the future video?"
"Yeah." Murphy threw the wipes into the trash can next to him. "If nothing unexpected happens, it will still be called "The Lost Lover" in the future."
Gal Gadot's cell phone suddenly rang, she escaped and took a look, "My mother."
As she said that, she turned around and walked towards the window. Murphy stopped talking and stood up and cleaned up briefly.
"The Lost Lover" is a film with a dark theme and a distorted viewpoint, which is a new project he planned.
The film was adapted from the novel of the same name. Now that the novel has not appeared yet, Murphy doesn't have to consider copyright and adaptation issues, and is preparing to directly produce the script and then invest in filming.
Without the original novel, it will have some impact on the film, but it will not have a big impact. The novel that used to be just a third-rate work. If it is not adapted into a movie, even in North America, it will probably be submerged in the huge world of literary sea.
This film can be said to be a typical case of a third-rate novel adapted into a first-rate film, and as Murphy said, the film is not a purely commercial director, but also has enough entertainment.
Entertainment is very important to the future commercial returns of the film.
Also, from the beginning of planning this film, Murphy thought of a marketing plan that matched it. Without the shackles of novels, these plans will be implemented more smoothly. If they are well operated, they will even have a sensational effect.
