Chapter 230

A director can no longer get the favor of investors more than box office data. If he wants to enter the mainstream film circle, he can still get some power, instead of being regarded as a puppet of shooting material, he has to produce enough convincing business data. Different from what Roger Albert said at the beginning, Murphy wants to go to the mainstream film circle, because only in this way can he become a film maker For Hollywood's top directors.

The box office of sin city in North America is good enough in the first week, but movies of this style are always faced with the dilemma of lack of stamina. Moreover, the fierce competition of summer season in North America is coming. Finally, if you want to get enough box office, you have to relax your marketing work.

Murphy's interview with Vanity Fair was mainly driven by CAA, and Miramax was also involved.

Although this interview is more about promoting the director Murphy, it is also good for the film, and Miramax has never relaxed her all-round promotion and marketing of the film.

Even so, after the new week, the one-day box office of "Sin City" still has the situation that all minority movies will face. Fortunately, the one-day box office of "Sin City" fell only 70% on Monday compared with last Sunday, and still got $3.15 million.

Tuesday was a traditional discount day for cinemas, and the high attendance slightly boosted the box office, which closed for $3.2 million.

This week, the film's weekday box office seems to have stabilized at more than $3 million, with another $3.05 million on Wednesday.

With the arrival of Thursday, may officially opens, which also marks the beginning of the summer season in North America, and the much anticipated super production "X-Men 2" will enter the North American film market on this day with more than 3000 advance screenings.

May 1 is the international labor day, which originated in the United States, but it is not the legal labor day in the United States. This day is not only the release day of X-Men 2, but also one thing that has attracted many fans, especially the elite fans.

On the cover of the latest issue of Vanity Fair released this day, a young director suddenly appeared!

Murphy stood with her arms around her chest, her sharp eyes staring into the distance. Behind him, there were four men with different shapes!

On the side of the cover, there is a line of big words. Murphy Stanton, a new Hollywood director, and his Stanton followers!

Just like all the cover characters of vanity fair, after looking at the cover, the title page is followed by a large text description and introduction of the cover characters.

"There is a kind of person who was born to tell the world that even if God created things unfairly, he can still fight for a piece of heaven and earth with his own hands and efforts! Only 23-year-old young director Murphy Stanton is such a person

"This young director, who was born in the 1980s, was born in the slums of Los Angeles. His parents were drunkards and drug addicts. He died in a car accident and did not have a good education. He spent his whole childhood hanging out on the streets of Los Angeles. It seemed that he was recovering an unbreakable cycle. Later, he went to prison because of wounding people. It seemed that the whole society was in danger The path of life has been defined. "

"However, after he got out of prison, he realized that he was determined to be a new man and completed the study of basic film knowledge and directing skills by self-study. After participating in the production of a documentary, he resolutely picked up the photographer, invested all his wealth and became a film director."

"In 2001, a black film named" fruit candy "became Murphy Stanton '

"Every dollar he pays to investors, his return on investment is far higher than everyone's imagination!" So says Harvey Weinstein of Miramax

"Murphy Stanton is not alone in Hollywood. Apart from supporting his Miramax film industry, he has several good brothers."

"On the way to becoming a director, Murphy Stanton has met Robert Downey Jr., James Franco, Seth Logan and Jonah hill. These not popular actors and directors share the same film ambition, and they have cooperated with each other in several works to become friends."

"They take Murphy Stanton as the center, form gangs, support each other, and participate in the same film with the posture of" one hero and three gangs ". This kind of team battle has achieved excellent results, and the films they cooperated with have won high box office at a small cost. At the same time, they have achieved their own film career. "

"These people are closely around Murphy Stanton, and they are also called" Stanton partisans "by the Weinstein brothers of Miramax."

"Technically, Murphy is very good. He rarely shows off his skills on the screen, but he has a bit of brilliance. He just catches me in with the rhythm of telling stories. Moreover, Murphy likes to let the protagonist be attracted by a kind of black power, like a whirlpool, gradually accelerating to * *. This is also wonderful, now there are few people who have such a good grasp of rhythm, he is one of the top! Robert Downey Jr. got to know Murphy in prison and worked on two movies in succession. His words are very representative! ""Murphy is one of the best and most ambitious directors. Every film is a masterpiece. It's amazing! If I choose a director that I always want to work with, the answer must be Murphy! Because he is a real genius, in some ways, no one can! James Franco has never denied that it is because of Murphy that he has become a well-known actor step by step

"Seth Logan from Canada has cooperated with Murphy for three times. He tells us in simple and honest words: Murphy is incredible, he has incredible balance ability, and his understanding of picture and lens combination energy is absolutely insightful. He's so smart, I don't think anything can embarrass him. If he gets the best director Oscar nomination in the next few years, I'm not surprised at all

"I think Murphy can take the best director of next year, little golden man." Sin City "is wonderful, but I know it's impossible, because Oscar and I are not the same taste. This is what Jonah Hill said to us: "the horror of the chainsaw creates a myth that belongs to the horror film, which is of great significance to all participants. To a certain extent, this film can not be copied, and other horror films are also difficult to achieve the height of Murphy, because other horror film directors do not have Murphy's gifted thinking and ability."

"The stantons have a lot of trust and admiration for their leader and brother, and believe that following him will surely realize their film dream."

"How does Murphy Stanton evaluate himself? When we asked this question, he said, "I'm Murphy Stanton, an ordinary film director. I want to be as outstanding as my predecessor James Cameron and Steven Spielberg, and I'm not only a director, but also a person with whimsy."

"We think that Murphy's style is always to make the audience look forward to the next moment, but not to let the audience stay in this moment. The latter is the most gratifying thing. "

Finally, it is the summary of the cover characters in Vanity Fair.

"It is not difficult to see from his personal growth experience that there are two people in Murphy Stanton's soul. One is a wanderer in the white tower, who wants to find the direction of the future, but always faces the flowers of evil poured out by the black blood, in which evil black witches will climb out, trying to drag him into the hell; the other is a brave and courageous knight, who is brave and brave The bottom layer climbs up, conquers all the way, cleanly kills the black wizard, and goes further and further in the direction of success. "

This is just the first introduction to Murphy in Vanity Fair. Looking inside, there is also a large interview with him by Jennifer Mona. Because Murphy is outstanding enough in facing all kinds of problems, there are not many changes in the interview.

Moreover, the communication and review between CAA and Miramax also ensured that the interview was basically true, and there was not too much embellishment to describe some untrue things.

The appearance of this interview not only helps to publicize the city of sin, which is being released, but also makes Murphy really come into the eyes of the elite.

In particular, many of the audiences of vanity fair are well-known figures in Los Angeles and New York. These two cities are also the places where the members of the Academy of film arts and sciences are most concentrated. The name of Murphy Stanton, who used to be relatively unfamiliar, can leave some impression on them, which undoubtedly has a lot of benefits for Murphy's future.

Since Tina Brown became editor in chief, Vanity Fair has completely got rid of the previous predicament, and its influence in the magazine paper media is growing. Especially in recent years, it has added a lot of content about entertainment gossip, and began to go deep into every corner of the society.

Many ordinary fans will choose to buy one when they see their favorite cover characters. Daisy bought one on her way home.

When she got home and saw Murphy's sharp eyes on the cover, Daisy felt that she could detect the abnormal heart hidden under her eyes. She didn't even care to eat. She nestled on the sofa and began to read Vanity Fair magazine.

From the introduction of the cover characters on the title page to the interview with Jennifer Mona, she read every word carefully for fear of missing something. Moreover, she didn't read it enough, so she went back to read it again, hoping to get more information about her favorite director.

Unfortunately, except for knowing that Murphy Stanton started to fall in love, Daisy didn't get anything that was too valuable for her.

And as soon as she saw the name Gail gado, she felt a little uncomfortable. She put down the magazine and decided to continue to write to Murphy Stanton, even if her previous letter had never been answered.

"Dear. Murphy..." (to be continued). )( )
