Chapter 334

It provides you with wonderful novels to read.

"Strong personal style, excellent script writing ability and wonderful editing are the personal labels left by Murphy Stanton. He is definitely one of the most successful directors in Hollywood under the age of 30"

when a director is continuously successful, there must be a hymn in the media, especially CAA and Stanton The studio is behind the scenes, and a public relations war on Oscar has begun.

Bill rossis has specially told Murphy that from now on to the official announcement of the Oscar nomination list, he can no longer be as low-key as before, he should often appear in front of the media, have a certain topic, and be able to continue to receive the attention of the industry, etc.

The publicity and speculation of these media is undoubtedly a good way to maintain the exposure.

"Murphy Stanton's films are better than good ones. He focuses on the darkness of human nature and society, and brings the audience more profound experience and reflection while advancing the story layer by layer. At the same time, he successfully tells one story after another, even death, with the flowing rhythm of the story, skillfully designed lines and the perfect use of gloomy tone This kind of vulgar works, on the basis of respecting the original works, have well restored and even enriched the original works to a certain extent. The strong Murphy style and wonderful original works have produced wonderful chemical reactions. "

"In the history of film, there are always some favourites who are favored by heaven. They not only display their artistic talent wantonly, but also reap both commercial and public praise. The so-called success is enviable. Murphy Stanton has now become one of the representatives. "

The reports in the media have attracted much attention of Murphy, and a comment by a Hollywood Reporter has made him the focus of the media and the industry.

"His style is unique in Hollywood; his works, like Martin Scorsese, are classics with strong personal style; his editing style is fast and smooth, but the color is gloomy and low; there is no sunshine in his movies all the year round, but it is always related to homicide and violence, which makes people feel cold from inside to outside; he firmly believes that people are a species with abnormal heart, but only dark and overcast Only Sen's story can expose this abnormality to the audience. In recent years, as the director's technique matures, his style becomes more and more obvious. His latest work let Charlize Theron push off his own film to act as the heroine. This film is called "the lost lover."

Cinema film is a very delicate object, we must treat her well, not neglect every link, but also rely on good luck to succeed. Murphy is very clear about this, and will not miss any good opportunity.

At the same time, the lost lover continues to reap a lot of box office from the North American market. Although it is impossible for a film to maintain a high popularity for a long time, and there is only a weekend drop of more than 30%, and the attendance rate, film arrangement rate and the number of cinemas of the film have been significantly reduced since the sixth week, the North American box office is still relaxed before the sixth weekend Break the $200 million mark.

This is also the fourth film in North America that grossed more than $200 million this year after Star Wars prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith, World War II and Charlie and the chocolate factory.

The first three directors are George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Tim Burton. It's hard for Murphy to stand side by side with them.

By the middle of September, the box office of the lost lover in North America had exceeded 210 million US dollars. Stimulated by the excellent box office results in North America, more overseas countries and regions had signed distribution agreements with 20th century fox. The feature film also appeared in more markets around the world, with a total of more than 70 countries showing it.

This type of film, of course, can not cause a sensational response overseas like superhero films or other films with visual wonders as the selling point. The overseas box office did not explode, but it was not bad. It soon reached 200 million US dollars.

The global box office of $400 million is enough to make Murphy a second tier Hollywood director.

After years of internal strife and endless struggle, the Weinstein brothers finally lost the competition with the management of Walt Disney, represented by Michael Eisner, and officially left Miramax film, ready to take the dimen film as the foundation To establish a new film company, Weinstein pictures.

Timon pictures was just a company under the name of Weinstein brothers, which was dedicated to the distribution of low-cost horror films. It can't afford the business model of Weinstein brothers, which mainly aims at the award season and Oscar, so as to make profits. It is imperative to set up a new film company.

"Walt Disney left behind more than the mess of Miramax."

In the seaside cafe of a private club, the well-informed Robert Downey Jr. said to Murphy, "there is also a huge library of seven hundred Miramax films, and Miramax will be completely owned by Walt Disney in the future."

"Michael Eisner is making trouble for himself." Murphy banged his legs. "Miramax will soon turn to recession."

"Why do you say that?" Jonah hill is good at funny, but not very good at it. "Is Walt Disney worse than the Weinstein brothers?""Think about it, what is Walt Disney good at?" Murphy asked first, and then gave the answer. "All age movies, even Pirates of the Caribbean, are made by Disney and tend to be younger. As for Miramax, they have never made or released this type of movie in the past."

"One more thing." James Franco added, "Miramax used to be a relatively independent and distinctive film company, but now it's completely one of the many brands of Walt Disney."

"Both Murphy and Jim have a point." Robert Downey, Jr. agrees with them that "Miramax used Oscar as his operation strategy before. After the management left one after another and the Weinstein brothers left, this strategy can only become a thing of the past. The new management is bound to face the problem of transformation. A film company wants to successfully transform"

he makes a face and shakes his head.

Seth Logan, who has been enjoying dessert, looks up and says, "the Weinstein brothers just sold their shares and left, taking nothing but the management"

"who knows." Murphy shrugged.

When it comes to being well-informed, he's far behind Robert Downey Jr., who says, "I heard that Harvey Weinstein took the copyright and proposal for two projects."

Harvey Weinstein's eyes are well known in the circle, and Jonah hill can't help but ask curiously, "do you know what he has taken"

instead of answering, Murphy looks at little Robert Downey. If any of them can get some inside information, it's little Robert Downey.

Sure enough, Robert Downey Jr. is well-informed, "there is another film copyright of the novel reader created by Ben hadslink in 1995, which seems to have something to do with George VI, the former king of Great Britain. No matter how specific, I don't know."

After hearing the two projects mentioned by Robert Downey Jr., Murphy has a general impression that they used to be almost standard Oscar style propositional compositions, which not only won the favor of the Oscar judges, but also made a lot of profits from the cinema, television, Internet and V market with the help of the titles of the Oscar winning films.

In those years, it can be called the peak of Harvey Weinstein's public relations Oscar. Some media even said that the name of Oscar had changed to Weinstein.

"Ah, there's more." Robert Downey, Jr. seems to think of something again. "The Weinstein brothers are financing abroad, preparing to set up a new Weinstein film industry. If you have spare money, you can try to invest."

"Donny has a point." Murphy reminded his friends, "instead of spending money on eating, drinking and playing, it's better to invest in companies like Weinstein pictures."

Although he has no plans to invest, the rest of the people invest in Weinstein pictures, which is far wiser than throwing money away and devaluing it in the bank.

James Franco nodded. "I'll go back and think about it."

Seth Logan shook his head. "I just signed up for a director training class, and now I don't have the money."

Investment can't be forced. Murphy just reminds them that these guys are adults. Even if they have a good enough relationship, they can't interfere in everything. This is North America. No one likes others to interfere in their private life.

"Fortunately, we didn't promise to make Sin City 2."

Thinking of Miramax's chaotic situation in recent years, Robert Downey, Jr. felt lucky, "otherwise, it would be associated with bad luck."

Jonah Hill looked at Murphy and said, "this guy always makes wise judgments."

"If you can't do that." James Franco said, "how can we be the party leader of us"

"the party leader of Stanton" Robert Downey Jr. raised his chin, "well, this position is very good."

He turned to Murphy and said, "Mr. leader, when do you plan to lead us to the White House"

Murphy made a crosscutting gesture, "when you shut up completely."

He stood up, looked at the sea and said, "what I'm going to do now is not to think about marching into Washington, but to ask Walt Disney for his salary"

last year, Miramax defaulted on his share of sin city and didn't pay. At that time, Walt Disney was still fighting with the Weinstein brothers, so he put it aside for the time being, and now the fight is over Well, Miramax is completely owned by Walt Disney.
