Chapter 345

Whether it's a movie or a TV series, if you want to succeed, you must have a core idea and a clear theme. If you can't do both well, you can say that you have already failed half way.

From the initial script making to the informal preparation after the disappearance of the lover, Murphy and George Martin have enough communication. The TV drama gathering continues the core theme of the series of novels.

Today's meeting is attended by the heads of all departments of the crew, who must understand the theme of the project.

"All our shooting and production will focus on this theme." Murphy said straightforwardly, "there is no absolute justice, only eternal power"

kalafes took a look at Murphy. Undoubtedly, this project can truly reflect the cruelty of the world, rather than a childish game.

In the play, every character tells people that kindness and justice are good people, and that there will be good rewards. He just portrays everyone's choice and human struggle in the face of big events. It's not perfect heroism, it's not cunning. Maybe only ned Stark is loyal and kind from the beginning to the end. Others, whether cersei or tywin or the devil or Elia, all have complex human side.

There's nothing more fascinating about the play than this, and it's also different from other TV series.

Murphy was basically speaking alone in the meeting, and there will be a specific exchange meeting in the future. This meeting will soon end, but Murphy did not leave the fox building, but went to her office with kalafes.

When passing by a big office, Murphy meets Dave corra. Unlike in the past, this 20th Century Fox executive has been too lazy to say hello to him. He just blacked his face and watched him and caffeius walk into the other office.

"He seems to have lost his hair recently." Murphy pulled up a chair, sat back on it, and said lazily, "it's going to be the Mediterranean."

"Because I don't want him to feel better." Carafes pressed the phone and asked the assistant to bring two cups of coffee. "As long as he's still in my way, his hair will be less and less."

The Secretary delivered the coffee quickly, and Murphy took it and said, "I heard that more and more people on Fox's board of directors in the 20th century were dissatisfied with him"

kalafes took a sip of coffee and said, "it's not a small thing for any film company to screw up a movie with a cost of 150 million dollars. If it's not for the success of the X-Men series, Devco La's gone a long time ago. "

She sneered, "but the company has high expectations for the release of X-Men 3: backwater battle next year, and has invested more than 200 million US dollars in the production cost. If the box office of the film in North America does not reach the expected 300 million US dollars, and the global box office does not reach the expected 600 million US dollars, it will be very troublesome."

"He thought the film would meet expectations," Murphy asked.

"Well." Kalafes nodded. "As far as I know, devcola's box office target is $800 million."

Murphy was not surprised to hear what kalafes said. X-Men 3: after all, backwater is not the beginning of an original film or series. It's based on the previous two films with high reputation and box office sales. It also plays the slogan of the end of the trilogy. If the quality of the film is guaranteed, 800 million dollars may not be impossible.

The production cost of the film is more than 200 million US dollars, plus the necessary distribution, publicity and marketing expenses, I'm afraid that the figure of 800 million US dollars can only be recovered through the box office.

If that's the case, devkla is quite conservative.

"It's a pity," Murphy said, shaking her head before drinking the coffee. "Everyone thinks that they are the protagonists of the world. In fact, they are just the dust of history."

Carafes laughed. "You've got a lot of experience polishing the script with George Martin."

"It's true." Murphy raised a coffee cup to her and said, "the old man has rich experience and life experience. Although he is now an otaku, he has encountered many things before and has a thorough view of the world. Many views have merits."

George Martin's thoughts are fully reflected in his works. For example, everyone thinks that he is the leading role of the world before he dies. In fact, only history is.

It seems that everyone only pursues the realization of self-worth, at the same time, they unconsciously promote social progress together; good people and bad people are the same person, smart people and fools are the same person, friends and enemies are the same person; stratagem and integrity can help you fly high, also can make you die fast; doing the same thing will have different results, leading to bad results It's not something wrong, it's just luck; everyone has their own advantages and limitations; life likes to joke with everyone, it doesn't only aim at any one person; persuading a person to do with you can be in many ways, such as religious brainwashing, justice, coercion and inducement, emotional blackmail, etc., and different methods are adopted according to different objects; ideals and honor are not important to protect relatives, love is not important And fantasy is not as important as reality.

The reason why a person becomes himself is caused by the times, family, environment and experience. All his choices seem accidental, but in fact they are inevitable. History is the past and the future.If you don't adapt, you die.

In fact, after reading the script adapted by George Martin, Murphy felt more than the original. Now he is undoubtedly in a power game belonging to Hollywood, and some things can still resonate.

These power games are often used all over the world.

For example, Murphy is a stakeholder, but he never makes all the choices only for his interests.

Interests can unite a lot of people, but not everyone. Terror can deter a lot of people, but not everyone. Praise and honor can inspire a few people, sometimes few, but not all.

In the script, the delicate balance that can be achieved by the game of power is the result of the two pillars of interest and terror, not honor, because the rules of the game in this world are actually recognized by most people. This rule is called self-interest, also called bullying, also called quitting when it's good. These are rooted in human nature, and there is no lack of selfishness and jealousy in human nature Narrow, although these words have antonyms, but antonyms are only tributaries, long night, since ancient times.

Of course, there are always people who maintain honor. They become the laughing stock of the winners and the new gods that the rulers try to shape. They are not to let everyone learn Buddhism, but to let everyone believe in Buddhism.

"Your fight with devcola," Murphy said directly, without being polite to carafes, "is also a game of power."

"Yes." "So, I've been chasing him all the time, and I'll never relax until he quits," he said

"Don't give up." Murphy encouraged, "there is only a thin line between kindness and weakness, and only the winner deserves to say kindness."

Kalafes raised his eyebrows. "Do you think I'm a kind person?"

Murphy looked at her seriously. After a while, he said, "not at all."

So there's no need for him to worry about carafes.

They said a few more words, and the topic turned back to the song of ice and fire: the game of power.

"The investment and crew have been basically determined." Karafis is more like Murphy's logistics minister. "We've been preparing for a long time, but have you thought of a specific candidate for the cast"

"I'm going to invite Sean bin to audition for ned stark. He has a certain reputation, his acting skills are OK, and the film pay is not high."

It's one of several actors in Murphy's limited power game, "and I'll invite Linna Heidi, who played the green brothers this year, to audition for cersei Lannister."

He had never seen much of this TV series, and his biggest impression of cersei Lannister was that she and her twin brother could remember to play the actress, because Lina Heidi also played the queen of Leonardo among the 300 Spartan warriors.

Although these two people have not given a clear answer, but from the feedback from Bill rosis, their participation in the audition should not be a problem.

"In the first season, there are 17 main characters involved in the plot." Karafis frowned. "Other actors are easy to say. It's never hard for Hollywood to find the right actor, but"

her frown is tighter. "It's hard for Tyrion Lannister, the devil."

"Well." Murphy nodded, "it's not good to find the actor."

Maybe it's not hard to find dwarfs in this world, but I'm afraid it's not hard to find dwarfs with acting skills.

"Use the forced perspective method to shoot," carafes asked with concern, "or find a stand in actor to change face with CG technology"

"look for it, see if you can find the right actor."

Murphy, who used to be a little devil, doesn't remember his name. All he knows is that he later starred in X-Men: reversing the future and many other films. He is definitely a very successful special actor. "I've asked Bill to look for it through CAA channels."

It should not be difficult to find such special talents.

The song of ice and fire directed by him: the game of power, except for a few actors, will definitely change face. Besides not remembering who the vast majority of actors are, another reason is time.

Those young actors and children's actors who used to be, I'm afraid they are just children now. It's impossible to say that someone has not been born yet.

Not everyone is Sean bin, age is not a problem, can also be Murphy this ring king fans remember clearly.

"Where's Dennis tangorian"

it's almost the existence of a heroine, and carafes is still quite attentive. "Do you have a candidate for dragon mother?" to be continued.
