In a comedy film, there are no strict requirements on the actors' performances. Comedians often perform in very exaggerated ways, which can also add points to the film.

But Murphy's role is exactly the opposite.

"If the performances of the Stanton party members are all giving the film a bonus point, then Murphy Stanton, as the leader, obviously dragged his feet, and he at least lowered the score of the film by 0.5 points."

A comment from imdb is very targeted and can be said to be a sharp hit.

"Although the role I played was a natural fool and didn't require much effort and good acting skills, Murphy Stanton did not complete his mission at all."

On major film and television websites, fans are basically complaining about the role of the groom Doug, played by Murphy.

"Seeing Murphy's character, it's really a matter of time to get out of the show."

"I guess Murphy can win next year's golden plum?"

Not only ordinary movie fans, but even Murphy's fans are complaining about his first movie role. There are many similar voices in the Murphy Stanton discussion section on ImDB.

"Murphy is really not suitable to be an actor. He has no expression throughout the whole process, like a piece of wood, especially when standing with the bride played by Gal Gadot, it gives people a feeling that it is simply too bad."

"There is no harm without comparison, and the better Murphy is in the directorial aspect, the worse it is in the actor aspect."

There is even media hype, "Murphy Stanton appeared in the film "Hangover" as an actor, not only did not play a positive role, but also because of his poor performance, he would at least lower the North American box office by about $10 million..."

In any aspect, Murphy's first movie role was not successful. He had neither experienced professional studies nor outstanding talents. Such performance was actually normal.

Fortunately, his role is limited, and he is basically a guest appearance, and his impact on the entire film is not very big. The gimmicks of Stanton's party members' collective performance are still quite attractive.

On the working day after the first weekend, "The Hangover" performed well, and almost achieved a box office of about 10 million US dollars every day. By the time the second weekend came, the box office in North America had accumulated nearly 100 million US dollars.

Such performance can be said to have surprised everyone. No one could have thought that such a seemingly ordinary comedy movie could achieve such an excellent box office in North America.

But what is unexpected is still behind.

At the end of the second weekend, the box office of "Hangover" fell by only 25%, and then took 40 million US dollars from North America, and the box office in North America easily exceeded the $100 million mark, which made everyone in the Hollywood industry look at it.

No matter how you look at it in advance, using common sense to analyze how movies like "The Hangover" cannot achieve such beautiful results. The reason is very simple, with clichéd plots, Las Vegas, drunken troubles, pre-marital bachelor parties, amnesia, these elements have been played and played with countless movies...

So, all media attributed the biggest reason for "The Hangover" to one point to the Stanton party!

"In addition to the 'Random Gang', the 'Stanton Party' has also become a team combat force that cannot be ignored!"

As the largest investor and producer of "Hangover", Murphy also accepted an interview with media reporters. "The audience had as much fun when watching movies as we did when we filmed them. I couldn't be more happy to see this. The response of the film was overwhelming. I want to thank all the members of the crew, my friends and Twentieth Century Fox."

Meanwhile, five weeks after its release, the film became the highest-grossing R-rated comedy in film history with a total box office of $238.9 million, replacing the $234.58 million record holder of the previous 25-year record holder, "Beverly Hills Police Detective".

No one expected the film to set this record, and the positive reviews from word of mouth did not weaken, and this momentum also spread to the market that North America thought.

Due to the type of film, the number of overseas countries and regions where "Hangover" can be released is relatively limited, but the market performance is quite good. When it became the most popular R-level comedy in North America, its overseas box office easily exceeded US$100 million, and the global box office combined is as high as US$350 million.

Compared to the film's production cost of only $30 million, the box office of "Hangover" can only be described as a super hit.

The super sales of this film also made the Stanton Party members truly a team organization known to North American movie fans. In addition to Murphy, the other people's status has also moved forward a lot, especially Seth Logan and Jonah Hill, who are relatively low-famous in the team, have naturally become star characters.

Not to mention the real beneficiaries of the Stanton party members who were crazy hyped by the media, even Michael Tyson, who played a cameo in the film, has wiped out the previous decline.

Due to his previous indulgence in life and the plague of lawsuits in recent years, Michael Tyson squandered nearly $300 million in 20 years and still owed a lot of debts. When he announced bankruptcy before participating in "The Hangover", Michael Tyson only had more than $5,000 left in his account. In recent years, he has been fighting for his comeback. Unfortunately, he has gradually grown older and his body has begun to gain weight. The former boxing champion was let go again and again by his opponents.

During the shooting, Michael Tyson once said: "For money, I can fight anyone, even with a lion."

Now that he can't fight, he has to make another way to make a living. Entering the entertainment industry is relatively a good way to "get something for nothing".

Murphy is also asking Stanton Studio to examine Michael Tyson's surplus value. If there is indeed market potential, he plans to invest in a documentary about Michael Tyson.

During this period, the dividend payment for "Man of Steel" was in place, and Murphy completed the transaction about "Flowers of Lis" and officially became the owner of this super manor.

“When will you move here?”

In the office on the floor of the Death Star Building, Bill Roses looked at Murphy sitting opposite him and asked with concern, "Is there any place to help me?"

"Contact a professional decoration team." Murphy was not polite, "let them find Gale."

As planned before, after receiving the "Flowers of Lis", Murphy will not move over for the time being, but will make appropriate decoration adjustments. He will not care about this and leave it to Gal Gadot for all. Except for a few places Murphy specifically instructed, the manor will be sorted out according to Gal Gadot's ideas.

Bill Roses did not refuse and said, "Caa has a company that specializes in cooperation, so I will contact them in the afternoon."

Murphy nodded. I have to say that with a brokerage company like Caa, many troubles in life will become simple. Broker services are not only brokerage business, but also all aspects of customers’ needs.

To this day, Murphy is still working with Caa and has no idea of ​​ending the contract between the two parties, which can be said to be an extremely important reason.

Not every Hollywood agency can provide such thoughtful and comprehensive services to its customers.

"By the way, have the people from the Screenwriters Association contacted you?" Bill Roses changed the topic.

Murphy nodded, "One of their representatives called me the day before yesterday."

"What did you not promise?" asked Bill Roses.

"No, before things are clear..." Murphy wasn't that stupid, "I'd better be a bystander."

What they said is not complicated. At the end of this year and early next year, a series of contracts signed by the Producers League and major Hollywood trade associations will expire soon. The current situation in Hollywood is turbulent, and it is likely that the most serious strike since 1988 will be planned, especially the screenwriters union, which wants to take this opportunity to completely change the screenwriters' position in Hollywood production process and profit sharing.

Murphy is also a member of the Screenwriters Union. After "Body of Steel", he is well-known, so the Screenwriters Union will certainly not let such a member go.

But Murphy is not just a screenwriter, so naturally he wouldn't be so stupid as to be a gunman for the screenwriter's union.

As we all know, screenwriters have a relatively low status in the Hollywood system. Compared with other unions, the income is limited. Except for a few gold medal screenwriters, most screenwriters cannot enjoy the DVD and other income sharing of the film.

Uneven distribution of interests can be said to be the biggest reason why this strike is about to break out.

According to the previous agreement reached by the screenwriter union and the producers alliance, the minimum royalties for original scripts by six major film companies are $106,000, and the price offered by major TV networks for TV dramas is about $21,000 for prime time comedy and $31,000 for prime time dramas.

Many screenwriters earn much more than that. The scripts produced by major film companies cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, while well-known screenwriters may get $1 million per movie.

The average annual income of Hollywood screenwriters last year was $200,000, which is already high compared to the average annual income of Los Angeles County residents and most Americans.

Screenwriters will definitely not look down. They are staring at actors, directors and producers. Screenwriters compare their income with actors, directors and film and television company executives, and will naturally find the interest demands of a significant salary increase.

According to the Screenwriters Association, the income increase rate of the association's screenwriters is less than half of the profit increase rate of the entire entertainment industry. Many screenwriters also complain that in the eyes of large companies, they are dispensable.

This time, the screenwriter union was staring at the income from new media, the most prominent of which were the percentage of DVD and online on-demand dividends.

As we all know, the US DVD market and emerging online paid on-demand broadcasts are quite large, so how can the major film and television companies behind the Producers Alliance easily compromise?

This strike will inevitably happen.

Strictly speaking, Murphy's position is more inclined to the producers' league, so he will not easily participate in it.
