Chapter 284

Apart from the relatively cold reception of the media in France, this overseas publicity trip is the focus of local entertainment news everywhere the crew goes. Countless fans are also crowding around the hotel where the crew stays, expecting to meet the leading couple Robert Downey Jr. and Jessica Alba.

The big sale of "dead man" has attracted the attention of the media and fans.

Although Murphy is also well-known, he is a director after all, far less famous than Robert Downey Jr. and Jessica Alba. Especially Robert Downey Jr., whose acting career was almost destroyed by drug abuse, drug possession and imprisonment, has not only returned to the right track, but also reached a height never before.

Compared with Robert Downey and Jessica Alba, Murphy is more popular in the media and fans.

Bill Rossi, who stayed in Los Angeles, has been invited by many film companies and project directors since the box office boom of the first weekend of "dead man". If he signs all these director contracts, his work in the next ten years will be full.

There are some big production projects, such as Sony Columbia and MGM, which plan to replace a 007 actor and are also looking for suitable new directors. In the 20th century, fox is ready to launch the "die hard" series again, and also wants to try to persuade him to accept the sequel

It's not suitable to make a decision immediately. Murphy didn't refuse or promise. Everything will wait until he returns to Los Angeles.

Murphy and his party left North America, flew to Southeast Asia and Australia, and "dead man" continued to ravage the global market. By the end of April, the number of overseas screening countries and regions had increased to 58, and in the latest past week, they had taken away 75.28 million US dollars from the world.

In North America, the summer season has finally arrived, and the situation of "dead man" dominating the North American box office three times in a row has been ended by the newly released films.

On the first weekend of the summer season, and the fourth weekend of the release of "dead man", cheap girl, released by Paramount and starring the popular youth idol Lindsay Lohan, won the new North American box office title with a weekend box office score of $24.4 million.

However, because "cheap girl" is a typical girl and youth film, and there is a clear difference between its audience and "dead man", Murphy's film has not suffered much, let alone a diving decline. The decline of weekend box office is still controlled within 50%, with a harvest of 14.88 million US dollars, ranking second in the box office list.

With more than $8 million in the box office on weekdays, "dead man" took a huge sum of $254 million from North American Theaters in four weeks.

By the time Murphy arrived in Australia, the global box office of "dead man" was close to 430 million dollars.

With the production cost of 60 million US dollars, in exchange for such a huge box office figure, plus more than 80 million US dollars won by various peripherals and licenses, fox has made 500 million US dollars in revenue in the 20th century.

"I said, Harry!"

In an office in the fox building, Carla Firth said with high spirits, "if you give Murphy a chance, he will give us a miracle!"

"Yes, miracle!"

Harry Allen, the CEO of 20th century fox, held on to his gold glasses. "It's a marvelous miracle!"

Carla Firth laughed and asked, "what do you want me to do?"

"Well," Harry Allen nodded and said seriously, "I've heard that many companies are talking to bill rosis. It's said that Murphy Stanton has other projects in his hands. I hope he can continue to work with 20th century fox."

He looked at Carla Firth, "not hope, you have to take his new project."

"I called Murphy a few days ago, and he was very happy with the company's strong support for the dead man." Carla Firth didn't really care. "As long as we can fully support his company, it's not a problem to continue to cooperate."

"Well." Harry Arens was relieved. "That's good."

Kara Firth said a few more words, and then left. Harry Allen opened a profile. In the upper right corner of the profile is a photo of Murphy. Here is a resume and introduction.

He took a look, and in a column at the bottom left, he standardized an a.

The significance of this a representative is very clear. After the review of the 20th Century Fox audit committee and the signature of his CEO, Murphy Stanton will be a class a co director of 20th century fox in the future.

It's always been like this until he messed up a big production.

The hottest summer festival in North America has opened, with the release of such masterpieces as Troy, the day after tomorrow and van Helsing. The death watch has been significantly impacted. By the middle of May, the number of cinemas in North America has dropped to 2000, but the audience has not abandoned the film. The average daily box office output in North America is still close to one million US dollars.On May 19, "the dead man" reaped 880000 US dollars from North America. The cumulative box office in North America of the film reached 282.11 million US dollars, surpassing 281.57 million US dollars of "matrix 2: reloading", becoming the most popular R-class film in North America!

This record also makes Murphy reach the peak of his career, and naturally become a favorite in Hollywood circle.

The media are all good hands at steering the boat. When a person goes with the wind and the water, the wind is always with the wind. Now the entertainment media seem to have a tacit understanding. They are all praising Murphy, but they don't have enough power, because people with clear eyes can see that "death watch" can still take a lot of money from North America every day under the pressure of many summer blockbusters Box office numbers, beyond "matrix 2: reloading" is definitely not the end of the film.

What's more, overseas is also very hot. Although it's not as crazy as it was at the beginning, after a number of small markets joined in the screening, the overseas box office of "dead man" easily passed the $200 million mark, and the global box office has been close to $500 million.

All the media are waiting, waiting for the right time to burst out all the enthusiasm.

But the Hollywood Reporter made a related comment after death attendants finished surpassing matrix 2: reloading.

"Murphy Stanton, a new power of Hollywood, a super potential stock!"

"In Hollywood, there is no lack of fresh blood. However, in today's film industry, where sequels and remakes are dominant, creative and personal directors are urgently needed to counteract the weak creative situation. The emergence of Murphy Stanton is the gospel of Hollywood, but genius has always been tempered. "

"As far as Murphy Stanton is concerned, the road of directing is extremely steady. If you have laid a good foundation and prepared well, the olive branch will come naturally. In 2000, Murphy Stanton's "fruit candy" won dozens of times of returns with ultra-low cost. Since then, he has a small and broad aura on his head, and his directing career is also booming. He has successively directed such low input, high output and strong personal style films as "electric saw", "terror planet" and "Sin City"

"In this process, Murphy Stanton learned the secrets of commercial blockbuster production from the cooperation with Fox Searchlight and Miramax. At the same time, his own bad taste and creativity made him different. All these laid a good foundation for his directing" dead man. "

"It was not until this year that Murphy Stanton's fame and success came out of the film adaptation of Marvel comics" the dead man. "

"Once released, this heavy taste restricted masterpiece" the dead man "has been popular all over the world, and has broken many box office records of R-rated films in a row. Murphy Stanton not only satisfies the fans of the original comic book, but also flatters the mainstream audience, and the setting of R-class also makes the film full of topic

"This collaboration between Murphy Stanton and Kara Firth is undoubtedly full of risks. Low budget, script change, only two months of shooting cycle and other creative restrictions make the film difficult to start shooting. However, it is precisely these restrictions that make" dead man "so unique. Now the film is making a lot of money in the world, and it has a good reputation at the box office- Stanton also made his way to Hollywood director smoother by making a big hit

In addition to "Hollywood Reporter", more media are eager to try. Grace, who is in charge of Murphy's media and public relations business, has almost exploded her mobile phone. According to the news Murphy heard from Bill rosis, the female agent is going through a difficult period in recent days. Her boyfriend has proposed to break up because grace is constantly being interviewed by media reporters It's a phone call, and there's always a name on the phone - Murphy Stanton!

Her boyfriend really put up with enough, through the voice of mobile phone receiver infiltration, hear the voice of media reporter flattering like request to interview Murphy Stanton, can't help but want to get angry!

Fortunately, these things did not affect Grace's work, and all the interview requests were temporarily suppressed by the female agent.

Because after Murphy finished the overseas promotion of "dead man", he went to the Caribbean for a holiday with Gail gado, who started his summer vacation. All the interviews had to wait until he came back from his holiday.

Some islands in the Caribbean are very suitable for vacation. Murphy and Gail gado went to a private island, accompanied by Robert Downey Jr. and his new girlfriend Susan Levin.

To be more precise, Murphy and his wife came with Robert Downey Jr. because the owner of the island was his friend Leonardo DiCaprio.

When Murphy arrived, Leonardo DiCaprio, who was busy with "the pilot", was not on the island. However, when he got the news that Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. were coming, he came by helicopter. (to be continued). ）For mobile phone users, please browse and read for better reading experience.
