Chapter 608 Political Drama

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

Every Hollywood star is never short of gossip and scandals. For example, James Franko, n versions of love stories about him and Lily Collins are circulating everywhere in tabloids and the Internet. Sequences of uncle seducing little loli are emerging one after another, so his reputation is not much better than those such as Murphy and Robert Downey Jr.

In addition to these, James Franco in life is not a person who is particularly focused on his career, otherwise he would not have only achieved what he is now.

How to evaluate his friends? Murphy knows exactly what to say, "Celebrities are just Frank's mask that is used to face the Hollywood world of flowers. Under this mask is the heart of a literary youth who always pursues his hobbies."

The subsequent questions are almost all related to movies, mainly to create topic effects with Murphy as the center, and then promote and promote movies.

As the interview is approaching its end, Gretchen Carlson turns the topic to the movie that is being released.

"Murphy, how do you think of your performance on "The End of the World"?" she asked.

"It's okay, I've tried my best." Murphy spread his hands, "I think it's a huge improvement over "The Hangover."

Gretchen Carlson joked, "Is that because the performance on "The Hangover" was too bad?"

Murphy nodded directly, "I admit this."

The two laughed at the same time, and Gretchen Carlson asked again, "Will you still participate in the movie as an actor?"

"I really want to do it, but I think few directors are willing to use me." Murphy said helplessly, "so I can only continue to work with my good friends."

As long as the schedule is appropriate and conditions allow, he will also star in movies with other Stanton disciples.

Finally, the recording ended in a few small questions that were not painful.

After taking off his makeup, Murphy left the studio and took a bus back to Beverly Hills. He first went to Rodel Street, picked up the rings he had made last month from a jewelry center, and then went to Century City to meet Gal Gadot for dinner with Cara Fais.

During dinner, both sides specifically talked about the promotion and release of "Diego Ross".

Thanksgiving is coming soon, and the preview in mid-December is not far away, and the momentum of this film is also underway.

“There is basically no problem with the mpaa.”

In the Italian restaurant on the first floor of Fox Building, Carla Fiss sat next to the window seat and said to Murphy and Gal Gadot across the street, "I guess the video will be rated next week, and it must be R-level."

Gal Gadot put down the knife, picked up the water cup and took a sip, and said, "That's fine, and it won't delay the preview of the video."

"I propose not to hold a trial screen," Murphy picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. "What do you think inside the Twentieth Century Fox?"

Carla Fis also put down his knife and fork, "There is no need for the trial, but the company has specially prepared a preview for the film critics and media, and will be screened together with other previews."

"Have the invitation list been confirmed?" Murphy asked.

"The major media have basically invited them." Cara Fais said, "In terms of film critics, Todd McCarthy, Kenneth Tulane and other professional film critics from Los Angeles have been invited, and some well-known film critics from other regions have been invited, all of whom have had a higher reputation for you in the past."

She sighed, "It's a pity that Roger Albert is seriously ill. He has always liked your style. If he wrote a highly praised film review for you, we will have more money to hit the awards season."

Murphy shrugged, "This is nothing to do."

According to his vague memory, the famous Pulitzer Prize winner doesn't seem to live long.

Gal Gadot said at this time, "Can't you send the copy to Roger Albert?"

She remembered correctly that Roger Albert was in poor health a few years ago, and Murphy's videos always sent copies to Chicago.

"He has not collected any copies of my two videos recently." Murphy shook his head, "It seems that no new film reviews have been released."

Cara Fess responded, "The copy of the 20th Century Fox will still be sent to Chicago. Whether Roger Albert collects or not is not something we can control."

Indeed, given Roger Albert's current physical condition, no one can guarantee that he can accept a copy of the movie. Murphy also knew this very well, and he asked again, "What about the preview theater?"

"The screening will be previewed in five theaters first." Carla Fais has already formulated a detailed screening plan, "Three in Los Angeles and two in New York."

This is also the most commonly used screening strategy for niche films that are impacting the awards season. It sets a certain entry threshold so as to abandon passers-by in advance screenings as much as possible, reduce negative reviews, and thus gain a high reputation, and then expand the scale of screenings driven by the word-of-mouth effect.

For 20th Century Fox, this basic awards season screening strategy is not too difficult, and word of mouth marketing is also a common method of awards season promotion.

Murphy nodded, he was at ease enough about Twentieth Century Fox, and asked again, "What about publicity?"

"In addition to making patch advertisements on "The World's Doomsday." Kara Fis is the direct person in charge, "currently, the video is mainly promoted through the Internet and print media."

She looked outside the window and said, "After the film was released, we would hype the topic through newspapers and magazines; then expand the screening to a certain scale, and wait until the college starts to mail Oscar nomination ballots, and then conduct high-intensity centralized dissemination through television and radio."

These are all established plans.

"Don't ignore the Internet and social media." Murphy reminded, "As far as I know, many judges at the college have registered for social network accounts, and some are more active."

"Yeah." Kara Fis nodded, "I will have someone responsible for this."

The three of them talked about Diego Ross for a while, and gradually changed the subject.

"By the way, Murphy." Kara Fis asked suddenly, "Are you going to the Murdoch New Year party?"

Murphy shook his head, "I don't have time."

He turned to Gal Gadot, "We are going to negotiate with Boston..."

The benefits of making friends with the Murdoch family far outweigh the disadvantages, but the time is wrong now, and he doesn't want to trap himself in the power struggle within the Murdoch family.

Cara Fais knew Murphy very well and didn't say much.

Murphy said again, "I want to talk to Netflix that Stanton Studio may work with them on a series of political dramas."

Netflix invited him several years ago. The time was not very ripe at that time. He did not agree directly, but thought of a political novel written by Michael Dobbs, which specifically made people buy the adaptation rights, so it is also good to work with Netflix now.

Netflix (Li) is an Internet media company established in 1997. The movie DVD rental business carried out in an online subscription model is booming and eye-catching. Now the company is developing rapidly and has begun to participate in film and television production. It is currently actively preparing to shoot TV series and movies.

Netflix's strategy is to attract big directors and big stars to join with super high prices.

Netflix is ​​very moved by the cooperative political drama, and the possibility of cooperation between the two parties is also very high.

Of course, Murphy is busy with work and cannot direct this series himself. Even if he is directed by himself, it will be just one episode at most. If the two parties work together, he will be responsible for Paul Wilson. "Game of Thrones" is about to end.

After filming a series full of conspiracy and political struggles like "Game of Thrones", it should not be too difficult for Paul Wilson to take over this series again.

Thinking about it now, he may still be very busy in the next few years. Such TV series cannot be handled by a screenwriter. He must hire a screenwriter team, but he also needs to come up with a story outline and main character settings.

A busy life is more suitable for him. Murphy can't imagine how he would spend the days he was waiting for a lot of money to die. How boring and terrifying it would be.

In fact, there are other benefits to working with Netflix, which can avoid hanging on a tree in the 20th Century Fox.

Stanton Studios' collaboration with Twentieth Century Fox was a pleasant one, but Murphy knew that the world was constantly evolving and changing, and no one could tell what was going on in the future.

"I'll go to the bathroom." Gal Gadot stood up and left here.

“Do you have time for Thanksgiving?”

Seeing Gal Gadot walk away, Murphy said to Cara Fais, "I'm going to hold a party on Thanksgiving, and only invite friends to attend."

Carla Fais puzzled, "What are you going to do?"

Based on her knowledge of Murphy, he was obviously planning something.

Murphy smiled, "I just got the customized ring."

"Are you going to propose to Gale?" Carla Fiss immediately understood what he was going to do, "I'm not right?"

"Yes." Murphy didn't have to deny it, "so, I'm going to prepare for a small engagement party on Thanksgiving."

Carla Fais tilted his head and looked at Murphy, "Do you think Gale will agree?"

Murphy shrugged, "Can't it?"

He saw Gal Gadot come back and said to Cara Fais, "Don't tell Gale for now, keep it secret for me."

"No problem." Kara Fis laughed, "Remember to tell me the result as soon as possible."

After Gal Gadot returned, Carafes did not mention the matter. The three of them chatted for a while, and waited for Murphy to pay the bill, left the restaurant together, and took a car to leave Century City.
