Chapter 440 Bloodthirsty Murphy

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

Since I had to complete the editing of "Inglorious Bastard" in my own style and form, instead of presenting it in a typical Quentin-Talentino-style chapter, Murphy was quite strict in the final cutting process, and any unsatisfactory aspects of the camera were reworked, resulting in a long delay in the entire post-production.

Fortunately, he has plenty of time and can polish it carefully, striving to minimize defects.

Until the end of July, the post-production of "Inglorious Bastard" reached its end, and Murphy was able to draw energy to cooperate with the promotion and marketing of 20th Century Fox.

Murphy began to work closely with Fox's media and released promotional materials in a planned manner.

"Recently, James Franko's look in Murphy Stanton's new film "Inglorious Bastard". This makeup photo shows that he plays Lieutenant Aldo Reiner, a character nicknamed "Asshole". From the exposed photos, you can not only see James Franko's overall look, but also see obvious scars on his neck."

A report from Fox TV has made a key recommendation on this video.

"It is reported that the story of the film took place during World War II. A group of American soldiers who committed crimes were to be sentenced to death, but in extraordinary times, extraordinary policies were adopted, and they were allowed to make meritorious service. James Franco played the role of the group of soldiers, who led the team to go deep into France, which had been occupied by the Nazis, to carry out a dangerous mission to kill Nazi members with cruel means in order to create a panic atmosphere in the Third Reich."

With this as the beginning, the pre-screening publicity of "Inglorious Bastard" entered a intensive stage, and various materials were continuously transmitted from Murphy and the crew to major media platforms.

After the styling pictures were exposed, James Franko no longer had his low profile and appeared frequently in public with Lily Collins. This combination of golden boy and jade girl is eye-catching enough and has become the focus of many gossip media attention.

This is also conducive to the promotion and marketing of "Inglorious Bastard".

At the same time, James Franko and Lily Collins also staged a drama of breaking up and reunion with the cooperation of 20th Century Fox and agency AA, creating the biggest gossip in Hollywood at the end of July and early August.

The two of them are also happy to cooperate. In fact, it is not difficult to find that this pair cannot be measured by a normal way of thinking.

How can a girl who is romanced and willing to fall in love with romance and childishness be measured by ordinary people's standards?

The first stage of the promotion before the screening of "Inglorious Bastard" was completely based on James Franko as the core of the publicity. Although Fulanlan is not as good as Robert Downey Jr.'s appeal after "Iron Man", it is not an exaggeration to say that he is at the forefront of the second-tier stars.

Such actors naturally have a certain popularity and appeal.

However, the promotion and marketing work of any video cannot be carried out around one person. It can easily turn into a remnant rice for too long, and the publicity work of the crew is also being carried out one by one.

In mid-August, Murphy asked the crew to release three trailer posters, showing a strong violent style. No characters appeared on the poster, only close-ups of blood-stained sticks, rifles, daggers and other weapons. The picture is full of killing spirit and has a strong visual impact.

"These three posters have a typical dark style of Murphy Stanton, and the cult style of "Inglorious Bastard" has finally come to an end."

Comments on the media and the Internet have also hit the nail on the head.

Taking advantage of this popularity, Twentieth Century Fox then released the first trailer for "Inglorious Bastards", which is only one minute and forty seconds. In order to match the previous promotional plan, this promotional trailer is basically James Franco's solo show, and most of the scenes are Lieutenant Aldo Reiner, who he plays, and he is a lecturer to the bastard team.

Of course, bloody and violent scenes are indispensable in the online version, which tells the fans that the bloodthirsty Murphy is back.

From the original "Hard Fruit Candy" to the later "Deadpool", to "Game of Thrones" and "The Disappearing Love", all of the films directed by Murphy have the finishing touch of almost crazy violent and bloody scenes. Only "Man of Steel" has restrained due to the grading relationship, but it also transformed blood into violence, causing Superman and Wonder Woman to have a super demolition battle with Destruction Day.

"Man of Steel" is also Murphy's only PG-13 rating film. As soon as the online trailer for "Inglorious Bastard" was released, it undoubtedly announced to fans of the ult film that Murphy has returned to the ranks of R-level films.

These are the conventional methods of publicity. In today's era, Hollywood publicity has become more and more diverse.

In mid-August, some large North American media reported that "it was too violent and bloody, Murphy Stanton's new film "Inglorious Bastard" was boycotted before it was released."

The 20th Century Fox's naval army deliberately released a short script on the Internet and instigated a protest overseas, attracting the attention of a lot of movie fans around the world.

North American media, especially media controlled by Fox and News Corp., have been hyping up the protests on a wide scale.

"The script of the new film "Inglorious Bastard" directed by Murphy Stanton, which is planned to be released in the second half of this year, was leaked recently. The captain of the Jewish Bastard Warrior Rangers starring James Franco is very cruel. A family organization from Australia attempted to boycott the movie being released in the country."

"From the leaked script and the trailer that has been released, Murphy Stanton continues his usual style of black, violent and bloody in "Inglorious Bastard". Lieutenant Aldo Reiner, the 'bastard' played by James Franco, organized a squad of Jewish warriors to sneak into the Nazi-occupied France and assassinate the Nazis. At this time, France was active with many people who were persecuted by the Nazis."

"The publisher of this video also released three trailer posters. There were no characters on the poster, only the bloody dagger, bat and rifle, full of vicious killing spirit."

"However, a script leaked on the Internet is even more murderous. There is a scene where Lieutenant Aldo Reiner, played by James Franco, stands on a huge rock and talks to Jewish soldiers: Treat Germans with fierceness and let them know who we are. Each of you owe me 100 Nazi scalp, and now, I want to cut my scalp. There is another scene where the warrior played by Ley Rose hits a Nazi's head with a bat, and the scene can only be described as brain splashes; the bloody scene of the submachine gun shooting at close range also appears frequently in the trailer..."

"According to news from Twentieth Century Fox, "Inglorious Bastard" is expected to be screened worldwide for the first time at the Toronto Film Festival in September. The release of the film will be between the traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas periods in North America, and the release date in Australia is also December."

"The Victorian Family Council from Australia publicly stated that James Franko is a behavioral idol for young people. Such bloody and violent characters will be a very bad role model. Some Jewish organizations are also uneasy about the film being too violent, believing that Murphy Stanton's new film does not reflect the facts."

"But Murphy Stanton himself said in an interview with Empire magazine that the actions of these 'bastards' are similar to those of the brave and good North American Apache people. Even if the defeat is decided, they will still fight to the last moment. They are bastards and even warriors!"

In line with the needs of publicity, Murphy also came forward to respond to this protest, and specifically accepted an interview with "Premiere".

"Should movies be responsible for social violence? I think this is a very broad topic and not something that I, a director, can answer completely."

With a non-striking attitude, Murphy first threw out a gimmick, and then said, "We now have perfect legal guarantees, and the rating system can also isolate minors into theaters where "Inglorious Bastards" are shown."

He then threw out another big news, "Inglorious Bastards" tells the story of a group of American Jewish soldiers who committed crimes were originally sentenced to death, but in extraordinary times they were allowed to make meritorious service and go deep into France occupied by the Nazis to commit destruction. However, there may be a little misunderstanding here that needs to be clarified. The story is actually centered on Soshana, played by Australian actress Margot Robbie."

The focus of the next publicity will be on Margot Robbie, and Murphy's doing so will help her attract the attention of the media.

Margot Robbie is not an unknown actress. She has always played the important role of Sansa Stark in the "Game of Thrones". This series has always remained at a high popularity, and the main actors in it have received no less attention than before.

Especially Margot Robbie is younger and more beautiful than the once stout three fools, and is more spiritual and naturally more popular.

Especially in the third season that started in May, the almost crazy "Bloody Wedding" shocked countless audiences and media, and received a super high score of 9.9 on multiple rating websites. It was even praised by some media as the highest-rated episode in the history of human TV series, directly pushing "Game of Thrones" to a peak.

The actors also benefited a lot.

If you want to arouse your appetite, you must not throw the bait at once, but you must add it again and again.

"Miss Robbie's role is Soshana." Murphy kept throwing out new topics, "She is not just an ordinary female character, but also a bastard who kills Nazis in a crazy way."

After the post-production of "Inglorious Bastard" was completed, like other well-known crew members of the crew, Murphy also began to make a high-profile appearance at various events and attended the Saturn Awards ceremony held this month.

It was not Gal Gadot who attended with him, but Robert Downey Jr.

"I'm the award presenter." The reason for Robert Downey Jr. attending is very simple, "Michael Douglas is also the award presenter." (To be continued.)
