Chapter 376 Comedy Project

When Daisy heard Murphy's words, she immediately lit up. She had mailed so many letters, but there was no reply. She could not communicate with her idol. Disappointment was inevitable. Now she had such a good opportunity to tell Murphy about those ideas in person. Is there anything more to be happy about?

"Murphy, I really like your movie."

Speaking of his thoughts, Daisy immediately calmed down and said something very organized, "Especially the "Saw" series, I really like it."

Murphy couldn't help but look at her. A young girl likes such large-scale movies, which are not very common even in North America.

However, he did not interrupt, but asked her to continue and see what she wanted to say.

The excitement on Daisy's face turned into calm, and calmness gradually became replaced by fanaticism. "After watching the movie, I had a lot of ideas and thought of some ways that could make people die more cruel and exciting. I think it might be helpful to this series."

She kept saying it, "For example, I read a book about ancient Chinese torture, which had a red-burned copper pillar that could turn prisoners into coke."

Is this what a young and beautiful girl should have? Murphy looked at the girl opposite with a little surprise.

I have been holding these things in my heart for too long. When I said it now, Daisy was like a flood found a flood discharge. "Also, I can bury a person in the ground and let him expose his position above his chest..."

"Daisy!" Murphy couldn't help but interrupt her and said casually, "Your thoughts are interesting."

"Is that?" Daisy didn't hear Murphy was perfunctory, and said, "As long as I can help you, I can come up with more interesting ways to kill people."

Murphy frowned slightly. The girl didn't seem to look so simple. After thinking about it, she said, "This is how Daisy. I'm very busy today. Let's go back and have someone give you a mailbox from Stanton Studio. If you have any ideas, you can email me."

"Is it really OK?" This was completely beyond Daisy's expectations, and there was a little excitement in the fanaticism, "Great! I will definitely email you."

Murphy nodded, gave a look to the staff following behind, and left here.

Daisy got an email address from the staff, looked at Murphy's back, and felt extremely tall and extremely excited. Can her fantasy ideas finally appear on the big screen?

Thinking of those strange killing methods, her hands holding the note were trembling.

The leader of the discussion group named Daisy is definitely the one who impressed Murphy tonight, but he forgot it the next day. There is too much work to do recently, and it is impossible to be distracted by such a thing that he doesn't care much about at all.

First of all, the various peripheral products of "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" are officially launched in North America. Cultural shirts, mugs, dolls and various products have appeared on many store markets and e-commerce web pages in North America. Ice and Fire fans who have been looking forward to unpacking their pockets and exchanged a lot of money for their favorite peripheral products.

In addition, many manufacturers also sought relevant authorizations from the Ice and Fire Studio jointly established by Stanton Studio and 20th Century Fox.

In more than half a month from the end of June to mid-July, various peripheral products and North American authorizations were added. "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" received a total of nearly $50 million in North America.

The cost of this part of the income is not high, and the profit margin is so high.

With the help of this popularity, in late July, 20th Century Fox officially released the first season of "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" through its own channels. In addition to ten episodes of TV series, it also included more than 60 minutes behind-the-scenes videos, some of the content of the second season, the full guide to the Westeros Continent, the inside story of the Night Watch, etc.

This regular version of the DVD set costs up to $39, and there is also a luxury Blu-ray set, which costs up to $99.

The DVD sales of TV series cannot be comparable to Hollywood's super-selling movies. Murphy is very clear about this. However, the DVD still sold 1.65 million sets in the first week of its launch in North America, with sales of up to $60 million.

This is just a week's sales, not counting subsequent sales and DVD rental income.

According to Twentieth Century Fox's most conservative estimate, "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" season 1 can bring more than $100 million in revenue to the producers just by just the North American DVD.

At the same time, "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" also landed on the newly established Hulu video website of 20th Century Fox. TV series such as cable TV series are very conducive to attracting high-end brands due to the paid users. BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, Chanel, Dior, Microsoft and Samsung are all advertisers of this series, which can bring in tens of millions of dollars in advertising revenue.

At this time, no one questioned the money-making ability of "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones", and Vanity Fair magazine even praised it, "Probably no TV series is as profitable as its TV network as "Game of Thrones". It has received good returns in just one season and has become a global phenomenon. This fantasy masterpiece is a beautiful but extremely successful gambling by Murphy Stanton."

Before he knew it, Murphy's Stanton Studio had taken up as much as $100 million from the first revenue share of "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones".

This not only allowed Stanton Studio to get back the high cost of investment, easily pay off David Ellison's loan, but also achieved large profits.

"A large amount of funds are in hand and there is no use except depreciation."

On a cruise ship off the coast of California, Murphy sat under the sun umbrella on the top deck and said to several friends, "So the best way is to invest as soon as possible."

"Murphy's words make sense!" said David Ellison, who borrowed the yacht. "The depreciation of the US dollar is almost as fast as the collapse of the World Trade Center."

Jonah Hill, James Franco, Seth Logan and Robert Downey Jr. made a hearty laugh, which attracted the women not far away. Cara Fiss took Gal Gadot, Megan Ellison, Susan Downey and others and walked back and sat at the table near a large sun umbrella.

"Congratulations, Cara!" James Franco took the lead in lifting the beer can to Cara Fais.

Robert Downey Jr. also said, "How is the production director feeling?"

"It must be very good." Jonah Hill said.

Seth Logan shook his head, "The pressure has also become more."

"Stop talking nonsense." Murphy also raised the beer can to Cara Fais, "No matter what, it is good news for us to become the production director."

David Ellison was not the original chick anymore, and said in agreement, "Of course it's good news."

He asked Cara Fais tentatively, "Is your department short of production funds? If it is short, you can consider my Sky Film Foundation."

"I will." Carafes nodded seriously.

She has a similar view to Murphy. At this stage, David Ellison is definitely a high-quality film investor.

Everyone drank a drink together, and Gal Gadot suddenly spoke, "Don't be busy congratulating you guys, but help Kara think about how to solve the current problem first."

"What's the problem?" Robert Downey Jr. asked curiously, "Can we stump our strong woman?"

"The latest task I face when I took office was forced to suppress it." Kara Fiss did not hide it and said directly, "The box office results and reputation response of "X-Men 3: Battle of the Wave" were seriously lower than expected. The entire series may face a collapse. I must revitalize this series in the next two to three years."

The poor reputation of "X-Men 3: Battle of the Wave" and the much lower-than-expected box office results in North America and global markets are well known. This is also the direct reason why Cara Fais can take over as director of the production department, but it is easy to do a series, but it is very difficult to win back the hearts of the audience.

Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill, who have always talked, were silent at the same time. They knew very well that such a problem had exceeded their abilities.

James Franco was drinking beer on his own, knowing that he couldn't help at all.

Seth Logan was thinking hard about what if he was the director or producer of this series?

David Ellison shook his head, investing in his career, revitalizing the decayed movie series, he is an amateur.

Everyone's eyes eventually fell on Murphy. Now, the best box office and reputation in the "X-Men" movies in the "Star" series is the "Deadpool" directed by him.

"The next X-Men movie, you can consider overturning the current trilogy again." Murphy thought for a while and said to Cara Fais, "You'd better get Brian Singer back. Don't follow the current settings in the new work, focus your attention on Charles and Eric when they were young, and tell some stories that happened when they were young, so that the mutants could be brought into historical events with huge influence in the past, such as whether the Cuban missile crisis was related to the mutants? Was John Kennedy assassinated by Magneto? Doesn't that bullet have a very strange movement trajectory? It's very consistent with Magneto's setting..."

After hearing Murphy’s big clues, Robert Downey Jr. nodded first and said, “It seems to be very good.”

Kara Fiss' eyes were filled with a light of thinking, "It's really good."

David Ellison also became interested, "I can provide financial support."

"Sorry, David." Cara Fais shook his head firmly, "After Deadpool, Twentieth Century Fox no longer agrees to inflict in his ace series."

"David, do you want to invest?" Murphy suddenly spoke, "I have a comedy project." (To be continued.)
