Chapter 584 Keep a distance from fans

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

"The same sentence."

In the car driving at high speed, Murphy retracted his gaze from the road leading to San Diego, turned to Kara Fis sitting beside him, and said again, "I think it's very inappropriate to make "City of Chaos" anime."

Back in Los Angeles, Murphy immediately met with representatives of Twentieth Century Fox and Dark Horse Comics, who intends to purchase the anime copyright of the "City of Chaos" series at a high price and then publish it in the form of comics. Twentieth Century Fox also intends to increase another large amount of revenue, and at the same time release part of the second part first through comics to warm up the market.

But Murphy declined all of these.

Since the agreement signed previously had relevant provisions, if Murphy opposes, Twentieth Century Fox will not be able to sell the copyright of the comics.

So, they sent Carafes over to test Murphy's true attitude and to persuade him to change his mind.

"Why?" Carla Fisch didn't quite understand Murphy's idea. "You can get half of the copyright income as a commission, and Chris Dane is somewhat similar to superheroes, which is also conducive to the adaptation of the comics."

Murphy shook his head, "This is not a matter of money."

He has more ambitions and expectations for this series, which is most likely to affect these if it is anime.

Carla Fais wanted to say something, but Murphy raised his hand to stop her and explained, "What I said is for the time being. This series should not be anime for the time being. After the entire series is completed, then package and sell the anime copyright and related derivative copyrights. I believe the selling price will be higher."

After thinking a little, Cara Fais nodded slightly. Murphy was right. With the box office results achieved in "City of Chaos", it is impossible to sell at a high price. If the subsequent sequels can be sold well, the situation will be completely different.

Murphy added another sentence, "Anime-making, especially the anime-making content that has not been filmed, will affect the style of this film."

His purpose is not just for commercial box office.

To be honest, San Diego Comics Fair is not very suitable for this series, but the series is investing heavily and must be commercially promoted, so he did not object to Twentieth Century Fox's promotion of this series through San Diego Comics Fair.

When Cara Fais heard Murphy say this, he roughly thought of his purpose and was not saying anything.

The car turned off the highway and entered downtown San Diego, and soon arrived at the San Diego International Convention and Exhibition Center where the comic exhibition was held.

"Murphy! Murphy! Murphy..."

Since the news that Murphy was going to participate had long been spread by Twentieth Century Fox, and CAA contacted Murphy Stanton Los Angeles Fans Association, when the crew led by Murphy arrived at the entrance of the San Diego International Convention and Exhibition Center, it was immediately surrounded by a large number of fans and blocked the small square in front of the entrance and could not move at all.

Although the organizer of the event made some preparations, the scene was still chaotic, and Murphy also saw this situation a lot. He knew that he could not get off the car or open the window at this time, otherwise the situation would become uncontrollable.

He turned to look back, and the car Margot Robbie and Henry Cavill were surrounded by tight slits, and it was also impossible to break through the siege.

Fortunately, the police always maintained order on the scene, so the situation did not change in the worst direction, but the cars that the other members of the crew were also surrounded one after another.

"I won't get off the bus in a short time."

I looked ahead through the windshield and the road was completely blocked by movie fans.

The only thing that is thankful is that with the efforts of the organizers, the order on the scene began to improve.

Half an hour later, Murphy walked out of the car under the escort of the bodyguard. Because there were too many fans coming to the scene, he did not stop for much. He just waved to the surroundings and quickly entered the San Diego International Convention and Exhibition Center.

After walking into the exhibition center and isolating the chaos outside, Murphy then looked back and found that many movie fans were dressed up in Chris Dane. The black hood and black costume looked very ordinary, but it was the most popular outfit on the scene.

Compared to the bodyguards who were frowning beside him, Murphy had a good attitude and was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he looked carefully. Many movie fans were holding peripheral products of "City of Chaos" in their hands.

Obviously, after more than ten weeks of screening, "City of Chaos" has formed its own influence.

Murphy got the latest box office data when he came back. After the accumulation of time, "City of Chaos" has obtained impressive box office data, which also proves that strong marketing has promoted the film's market prospects, and it also proves from the fact that Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox have made so many thugs that it is not in vain.

In order to consider the box office and revenue of the subsequent films, he will also join forces with 20th Century Fox to continue to torture.

As of the day before yesterday, the North American box office of "City of Chaos" has accumulated a total of US$251.08 million, which has exceeded the US$250 million mark. Although it is definitely not possible to exceed the US$300 million line, it is quite good for a non-adapted film that is not a sequel.

Overseas, the films have been released in some small markets one after another, but the increased box office is limited, and the current global box office has reached US$562.47 million.

At this time, Cara Fais came to Murphy and asked him to go to the exhibition area. Murphy saw the movie fans dressed as Chris Dann again, and asked while walking, "Do you have the latest peripheral sales data?"

"Yes," Kara Fis recalled, and said, "In general, it's OK. I have a briefing in my bag, and I'll show you when I'm in the exhibition hall."

The exhibition center has not yet opened, and it is very quiet inside. "City of Chaos" is located directly opposite the entrance of the gate. Both of them, regardless of Margot Robbie and Henry Cavill who were surrounded by movie fans, entered the closed lounge area of ​​the exhibition hall under the leadership of a staff member.

"This is just a rough report from Twentieth Century Fox." Cara Fais took his briefcase and searched it. Murphy shook his head, "Just say it."

"Okay, then." Cara Fais took the coffee from the staff, handed Murphy a cup, and said, "In the past two and a half months, not counting our authorized commissions for companies such as McDonald's and PepsiCo, the surrounding products of "City of Chaos" have sold a total of about $81 million in North America!"

Murphy asked with concern, "What are the most sales products?"

"Chris Dann's motorcycle model sold about $8.4 million, the best-selling product; second place was his clothing, which earned about $6.8 million; then Jay Rachel's dolls and dolls, which cost about $3.5 million; behind was Chris Dann's dolls and dolls, which cost about $3.6 million..."

Speaking of this, she looked up at Murphy, "The few posters you shot on the set are also best-selling products, and sales are also ranked in the top ten."

"It seems that I'm very popular, too." Murphy shrugged.

In this era, great directors have almost completely come to the front of the screen. In the past, they rarely saw a Hollywood film directly with the subtitles of the works of a certain director, but the works directed by front-line directors, such as Murphy himself, will have imprints like "Murphy Stanton" on them to attract the attention of movie fans.

Similarly, while first-line directors share box office and peripheral dividends, they will also become part of their business operations.

What Carla Fis said was only a very small part of the film's huge peripheral product group. "City of Chaos" can operate in many peripheral products. Even if it is not considered that the New York studio is negotiating image authorization from major manufacturers, there are more than 200 products that are directly related to the film.

"In fact, Twentieth Century Fox is a bit inadequate." Kara Fox said, "The supply of the most popular products is a bit tight. Twentieth Century Fox is already fully producing and distributing."

Just like the box office, no one can guarantee whether a film can be sold well, and the same is true for the surrounding areas. The major Hollywood companies do not see enough profit prospects and will never rashly invest a lot of money to operate peripheral products. And no one can predict which peripheral is the most popular.

Therefore, when any film is released, the peripheral products prepared by the production and distributor are actually limited.

As Margot Robbie and Henry Cavill entered the exhibition hall, today's event kicked off. The main purpose of this event is to further promote the "City of Chaos" brand with the help of the San Diego Comic Con platform.

The San Diego International Comics Exhibition was founded in 1970. Its influence has long surpassed the animation industry. There are so many blockbusters and TV series here and the high specifications are incomparable to other comics exhibitions. You can find fresh and exciting materials and a large number of fellow friends here. In related circles in Europe and the United States, there is a saying that "SDCC is held on the rooftop collectively."

Hollywood film dealers have made every effort to attract attention in this anime industry, and fans from all over the world will also spend their unforgettable days here.

Since the animation exhibition, various hot materials, corrosive materials and fertilizers have been exposed, and all kinds of Cosers, fans and geeks are also wearing the dazzling outfits and cheering here enthusiastically.

As one of the most popular events at this San Diego International Comics Fair, Twentieth Century Fox specially won the city of chaos to host it in the central hall of the comics fair.

There were many interactive activities between the crew and the fans on site, but Murphy did not participate at all. This was not because he did not value the fans, but because of the personal publicity strategies formulated by CAA for him.
