Chapter 506: Attitude problem

Please give me a monthly ticket and ticket!

"Murphy Stanton disregarded the facts, and the director of "Wolf of Wall Street" violated many of my legal rights."

Sitting in Bill Roses's office in Death Star Building, Murphy looked at Jordan Belford on the screen and was interviewed by TV. This man seemed to enjoy being sought after by the media. "I have officially filed a lawsuit with the court, and I believe in the law..."

Seeing this, Murphy turned off the video, and the lawyer next to him said, "I called and asked, it's true, I believe we will receive a notice from the court soon."

Murphy nodded, "This guy won't give up after all."

In fact, since he rejected Jordan Belfort, he has been mentally prepared for this. Otherwise, he would not have collected so much information and evidence, and he also spent a lot of money to obtain a series of legal authorizations.

Bill Rossis knew what Murphy did and asked Robert, "How big is our winning chance?"

Without thinking, Robert said, "More than eighty percent."

No one will say a lot, and lawyers like Robert will not. Murphy knows very well that Robert's words basically mean that he will win.

Murphy thought for a while and said, "Bill, transfer a copy of the information we have collected to Robert."

"I'll have someone do it now." Bill Roses picked up the phone and notified his assistant, but suddenly said, "Murphy, have you ever considered an out-of-court settlement?"

Robert glanced at Bill Roses in surprise, and Murphy asked directly, "Why should we settle out of court?"

Bill Rossis didn't go around the circle and said directly, "First of all, the cost of time. Litigation cases like this often take a long time, which is not good for your work. Second, the awards season has begun..."

Seeing Murphy thinking, he continued, "Personal biopics have always been Oscars and are also a basis for "Wolf of Wall Street" to win the Oscar ticket, but if the protagonist himself hypes up the film and his experience, it will bring many negative effects, which can directly affect the choice of some Oscar judges."

Bill Roses's words reminded Murphy immediately of the veteran strategy used by Harvey Weinstein to attack Spielberg and "Save Soldier Ryan" back then.

"The longer the lawsuit is," Bill Rosess knew Murphy's attitude towards this incident, but now the situation is different from before. "The greater the negative impact on our Oscar nomination!"

Murphy knew all the things he said. Murphy was not that kind of stubborn person. Just like many things in the past, he would not persist desperately when compromise was more favorable.

But incidents like Jordan Belfort are not included.

"Bill, have you ever thought about it?" Murphy looked at Bill Roses and said extremely seriously. "I am less than thirty years old now, and there are still a long way to go in the future. There are countless movies to shoot. If I compromise this time, who will jump out next time?"

After listening to Murphy's words, Bill Roses thought carefully for a while and said, "Long-term interests and immediate interests..."

He shook his head, "I was confused by Oscar's eyes."

"Our goal is to nominate, and that won't change." The only person here is Murphy. "Not reaching an out-of-court settlement with Jordan Belfort does not mean we have to give up the Oscar nomination."

Bill Roses nodded slightly. No matter what, Jordan Belfort is the prototype of the protagonist of the film. If he denies the authenticity of this biographical video, it basically means that the chance of winning the Best Director Little Golden Man and the Best Picture Little Golden Man will become very low.

Indeed, Jordan Belfort's words may not directly affect the Oscar judges, but Bill Roses never ignored other popular films in the awards season, how could Murphy and the competitors of "Wolf Street" give up such a good opportunity to attack and discredit their opponents?

If the attack is too fierce, and the publicity and public relations on your side are a little relaxed, it is not impossible for the nomination list for the important awards to be rejected.

Of course, Murphy could think of these things, but when he came over, he had some thoughts.

"Bill, make some appropriate adjustments to our PR work." Murphy said his thoughts directly, "The original plan remains unchanged, let's add some topics to keep "Wolf of Wall Street" hot."

"That's OK," Bill Roses said, rubbing his chin, "Only there is attention when there is a topic."

Murphy said again, "Also, we have some voices in the media, showing a certain posture."

Bill Roses asked, "What's the posture?"

"We are not trying to win the prize for the sake of winning the prize!" Murphy said with his hands folded, "I believe you know better than me. The thoughts of the old men who are core members of the film school cannot be measured by normal conditions. Many times, those who specifically pay for the prize for the sake of winning the prize will be neglected by them."

"There are many examples like this." Bill Rossis fully agrees with Murphy's statement. "Martin Scorsese, who did not win the Best Director, and Leonardo DiCaprio are all typical of this. So, I have also reminded you in the past that winning for the sake of winning is often counterproductive."

"Yes, that's it." Murphy nodded slightly, "So, we have to show an attitude that "Wolf of Wall Street" is not a film specifically for Oscars."

He suddenly laughed, "It's the same, "Wolf of Wall Street" is not entirely because of the Oscars."

Bill Rossis believes that directors like Murphy will never ignore the commercial profits of the film, and his style is not very fond of Oscars.

Bill Roses stood up and walked a few steps, thought for a while, and said, "I'll leave this matter to me."

After more than ten minutes of discussion, the three-person meeting between Murphy, Bill Rossis and lawyer Robert also ended. Murphy continued to cooperate with the 20th Century Fox's publicity plan. Bill Rossis was responsible for a series of Oscar public relations activities, while Robert responded to Jordan Belfort's lawsuit, trying not to involve Murphy's energy.

In Hollywood, being able to reach Murphy's level does not represent oneself, and behind everyone, there is basically a relatively mature team. Many times, the teamwork is far better than a person who is struggling forward with his head barehead.

December 1st of each year is the official start of the North American awards season. Now it is getting closer to mid-December. Many outpost awards have announced the award results. Perhaps due to Jordan Belfort's constant attack on the inaccurate films and the fact that competitors use this to make chapters, unlike last year's "Inglorious Bastard", Murphy and "Wolf of Wall Street" almost without exception failed to choose the nomination list for these awards.

The situation is quite unfavorable for "Wolf Street", especially as time approaches January, the college may announce the distribution of votes on the Oscar nomination list at any time.

At this moment, Murphy, Bill Rossis and Twentieth Century Fox teamed up to make a big move and published news related to Murphy and Wolf of Wall Street in the industry-influential page of the Hollywood Reporter.

"Murphy Stanton, a director who has never made a bad movie!"

"Hollywood's most personal stylized director and his unique style "Wolf of Wall Street"..."

News like this is just a conventional means of publicity, and among these conventional means of publicity, the film's criticism is deliberately mentioned.

"With many movies in North America's Thanksgiving Christmas season debuts, the most important film of this year's Oscars season, "Wolf of Wall Street", has finally reinstalled the market in the theaters with an unfavorable news of the previous series of delays, editing and schedule adjustments.

"But there is no doubt that as soon as this black comedy, which lasts nearly three hours, challenged everyone's psychological bottom line with its astonishing scale; and the polarized comments and audience feelings caused by this are not beyond everyone's expectations, and this phenomenon is definitely not good news during the Oscar Awards Season..."

"In this "Wolf of Wall Street" directed by Murphy Stanton, a stockbroker character who is addicted to being addicted to drugs is created: Jordan Bayford. This character is evil, shameless and decadent in the film. If the audience can ignore the plot of Jordan Bayford being investigated by F. and convicted by the federal court in the last 10 minutes of the film, the whole film is almost a comprehensive display of the luxury life of F.

After releasing these, Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox were not to make the film self-deprecating, but to show to many old men among the Oscar judges: Look, my video is not specifically for the Oscar Awards, otherwise why do you have so many controversial and large-scale shots?

This kind of publicity seems a bit ridiculous, but human hearts are the most difficult thing to measure in the world, especially a group of old men who are sixty-five years old. As Murphy said, for most of the time, no one can measure them with the thinking of ordinary people.

Their thoughts are really strange and unsure. If the people who win the prize care too much about the Oscars, they will think that the purpose of the movie is impure; if they stay away from the Oscars, they will be considered to be disrespectful of the authoritative awards...

This is what Murphy mentioned about posture. posture sometimes determines whether it will win the favor of Oscar judges.

So, Murphy set a tone for the film "Wolf of Wall Street" and it was publicly displayed through "The Hollywood Reporter". (To be continued.)
