Chapter 579 Downey's Resentment

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

This small Caribbean island belongs to a business group and is specially used for renting out. It not only has church rooms, but also has various entertainment facilities. After coming out of the residential area, turning over a coconut forest, the space suddenly opens up. In front of you is a soft beach, which is dyed golden under the reflection of a large bonfire; further away, there is the quiet sea, and the sea water slowly surfs to the edge of the beach, gentle like a lover's wet kiss.

However, none of this attracts people's attention. The most eye-catching thing is the beauties on the beach. Their swimsuits are healthy and well-proportioned, and the smooth lines represent the rigorous training they used to be. Even if Murphy looks at it from an amateur perspective, he can guess that these people are either models or have been models.

After a relatively rigorous wedding ceremony and banquet, the theme of this bonfire party is naturally carnival.

Compared to those who were unrestrained, Murphy and Robert Downey Jr., who were away from that area and ignited a bonfire alone. Murphy stood by the grill himself, turned on the simple electric oven, and took out some meat skewers to put them on, trying to show off his skills.

Lamb, cumin, chili powder...Murphy, once, had played self-service barbecue in his hometown, and the barbecue food stalls there were the hottest places in summer and autumn.

"Come here and get it..." Murphy put the skewers hello on the tray and greeted, "Eat while it's hot."

Gal Gadot came over to take the skewers and handed them to everyone sitting at the long dining table near the campfire.

Murphy grilled some beef skewers, washed his hands in the basin, and took his hands back to his seat, took a big sip of the chilly beer, and then asked, "Bill, did you just say that the media invited Gale?"

Since "Man of Steel", Bill Rossis has also been agenda in Gal Gadot's actor business.

"Gal is very famous and Wonder Woman is very popular." The person who responded was Robert Downey Jr. "As far as I know, Gail's fan organization has been established in many places, and is still calling on her to continue to play Wonder Woman."

"Is that true?" Gal Gadot shrugged, "I guess there will be no chance."

She only signed a film contract with Warner Bros. and DC Comics. Now that Murphy's cooperation with Warner Bros has completely broken down, she never thought of continuing to act as Wonder Woman on the screen.

Even if this character is interesting, you can play role-playing with Murphy in private.

"Donny is all about facts, Gale has a lot of fans."

It was only after Robert Downey Jr. that Bill Roses found a chance to speak, "Otherwise the media wouldn't have sent me an invitation."

Murphy asked with interest, "What invitation?"

Bill Roses replied, "Victoria's Secret invites Gale to Victoria's Secret's annual show this year, and Anna Wintour wants Gale to be the cover character for July."

"Yeah." Murphy nodded slightly.

He can know about this. As for whether he accepts or not, he will not interfere, just Gal Gadot will make the decision.

Gal Gadot is very opinionated, "I have pushed the invitation from Victoria's Secret. I haven't practiced the platform steps for many years, and I don't have that much time to practice."

Although she has been a model before, she has given up on the industry for many years.

"Anna Wintour's invitation..."

An invitation from a fashion magazine is a great temptation for every woman, and Gal Gadot was no exception. She thought for a while and said, "I need to consider this."

Without Bill Roses' detailed explanation, Murphy also knew that Anna Wintour he mentioned was the prototype of Meryl Streep's character in "The Devil Wearing Prada", and the editor-in-chief of the American version of "Fashion" magazine.

Perhaps because of his relationship as a model, Gal Gadot is very interested in fashion.

After eating a kebab, the two bachelors, Jonah Hill and Seth Logan, found a reason to leave and left, and went to a place where beauties gathered on the beach to have fun. The topics of the remaining people gradually turned to the movies, especially the still-released "Thor" and "City of Chaos", which were the focus of discussion.

"This is the fifth weekend of release..." Bill Roses is very familiar with Hollywood's dynamics. "According to the authoritative market forecast, the North American box office of Thor may exceed $115 million after this weekend. Judging from the fact that the blockbusters are released one after another and the schedule is severely squeezed, the final North American box office of this film should be between $125 million and $130 million."

James Franco interjected, "I remember the situation overseas is slightly better than North America."

"Well." Bill Rossis nodded, "It has accumulated almost $140 million overseas, and it is difficult for the global box office of this film to exceed $300 million."

"Where is "City of Chaos?" Lily Collins put down the vegetable skewers, pulled the napkin and wiped his mouth, and said, "Can it be three times that of Thor?"

Murphy was drinking beer. Seeing that he didn't speak, Gal Gadot said, "Impossible, after this weekend, the North American box office will be close to $245 million."

Lily Collins said enviously, "That $250 million is definitely fine."

"But overseas is at most $300 million." Gal Gadot sighed, "The world is about $580 million."

Although this result is good, it is still not ideal compared to the huge investment in the film.

"It has exceeded the expectations of the 20th Century Fox." Bill Roses continued, "This film plus other peripheral revenues should not be a big problem to recover the cost. The most important thing is that a good audience reputation will establish a certain audience base. When the second movie is released, the situation will be completely different."

Murphy put down his wine glass and said, "So, Bill, you have to communicate more with Twentieth Century Fox. The word-of-mouth marketing of this video cannot be stopped."

Subsequent word-of-mouth marketing is very important and can be directly converted into the first week of the second part in the future.

"What a pity "Thor"..." Robert Downey Jr. shook his head, "became the cannon fodder of "City of Chaos".

Susan Downey took the tissue handed by Robert Downey Jr., wiped his hands, and said, "This is a film that paved the way for "Avengers", and the box office of about $300 million is also good."

Robert Downey Jr. spread his hands, "The problem is that the reputation of the film is too bad. Not only will it not help "Avengers", but it will drag you down."

He looked at Murphy and said, "Under your influence, the critics' attitude towards superhero movies is completely different from before. The simple and brainless pure popcorn is hard to get praise."

"Summer movies..." Murphy said with a smile, "The impact of the critics is not very big."

Robert Downey Jr. shook his head, "Usually, this is true, but the problem is that the professional reputation of Thor is too bad."

Speaking of this, he changed his strange tone, "The biggest failure of this film is to add the plot. Don't have the plot, just as long as the muscular man flies around in the air and thunderstorm and power down. What kind of plot is it, what kind of plot is it, what kind of plot is it, what kind of plot is it? The plot of eggs is it..."

"These critics..." Robert Downey Jr. couldn't help but shake his head, "now film critics only swear randomly."

Murphy also quite agrees with Robert Downey Jr.'s view, "As the old generation of film critics become market players, the influence is getting smaller and smaller, and the newly emerging film critics are indeed relatively low in professional cultivation."

"Iron Man 2" was once bombarded by film critics. Robert Downey Jr. seems to have a deep resentment towards film critics. "The film critics have produced great figures like Andre Bazan and have made outstanding contributions to the development of the film industry. But when the initial group of critics with high professional and professional qualities retired, what is the current situation in the professional film critics?"

Without waiting for someone to answer, he himself said, "The quality of film critics is getting lower and lower. Apart from complaining and insulting, he cannot write any real-life reviews. His own knowledge and professional quality are very poor. Can they also call them movie reviews? What is a movie review? Andrei Bazan wrote in the movie manual. Andrei Bazan not only made comments, but also played a crucial role in the development of the film. Although he is not a director, his theory of film guides the development of the film industry."

Robert Downey Jr., who is now completely commercial, is not the dish in the eyes of professional film critics, just like Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp.

Correspondingly, Robert Downey Jr. was scolded a lot and had no good feelings for professional film critics. He continued, "Real film critics must have a deep cultural connotation, not only understanding of pop culture, but also having a deep understanding of films. Originally, film critics should be a very high-end profession, but now they are low-end, and have incorporated many people with very lack of professional qualities. These people are useless to use vicious and sensational words to attract readers' interests."

Robert Downey Jr.'s words are not without reason. Even though he is more popular with professional film critics, he has to admit that today, with the influence of the older generation of professional film critics getting smaller and smaller, the overall quality of the new film critic team has declined seriously, and it is not easy to see outstanding film reviews.

Most of these film critics will only follow the trend. All commercial films will be defeated. Any fast-paced and visual impact videos are disdainful. How can they have their own opinions? Even if their views are correct sometimes, a film is indeed bad, but when they ask why they are bad, the reasons they say are really shocking and they do not have the most basic professional qualities at all.
