The event specially selected a banquet hall of Hilton Beverly Hills Hotel to be held as a buffet. The media reporters are indispensable guests, and the fans invited also have certain pertinence. To be more precise, they have relatively high access threshold.
This kind of meeting is almost zero distance contact with the crew. It is impossible for anyone to sign up for it. The selected people must be targeted.
First, there are representatives of original book fans, as measured by Bantam Books, and then there are supporters like Murphy, Sean bin and Jessica Alba.
For example, all these supporters are iron fans, and then the heads of various fan organizations, to ensure that nothing unpleasant happens at the meeting.
"Unfortunately, I don't have many supporters."
Looking at the people coming and going in the banquet hall, Margot Robbie, dressed as a fresh young girl, said with some emotion, "silly white sweet seems to be unpopular in this play."
Standing next to her was Robert Downey Jr., who shrugged, "your image is more suitable for Hollywood commercial films."
They had seen each other several times before and were familiar with each other. Naturally, Margot Robbie understood the meaning of little Robert Downey's words, "let me be a silly white sweet vase?"
Robert Downey, Jr. doesn't deny, "wait until you grow up and become a real blonde."
"Damn it Margot Robbie is like a cat with its tail stepped on. "Can you stop using that word for me?"
She rolled her eyes and looked at the center of the banquet hall. Murphy was surrounded by countless media reporters and said enviously, "it's good to be a director."
There was no answer. Margot Robbie turned to look. Robert Downey, Jr. didn't know when he had left. He was courting a blonde actress not far away.
"A guy who can't pull his legs when he sees a beautiful woman." Muttered Margot Robbie, walking to Murphy's side, intending to hear how he dealt with the press questions.
A large number of reporters are surrounding Murphy. The interview has obviously lasted for a period of time, but the number of questions asked by reporters has not decreased at all.
"Director Stanton, you're self-taught." A reporter with the Hollywood Reporter sign on his chest asked, "what do you think is the advantage of self-study compared to going to film school?"
If there are conditions, who is not willing to go to a regular film academy, most of the self-taught directors are basically forced.
But it's not appropriate to say that to a reporter. Murphy thought for a moment and said, "self study means being able to understand everything about making movies in the most primitive way. I'm very interested in every aspect of making movies, because in my own movies, I always like to do a lot of things, from recording at the same time to recording in the studio, to editing and soundtrack, which has played a great role in my overall control of the whole film. All this means that I'm doing everything out of passion and curiosity. "
He stressed, "you know, interest is the best teacher."
The order of the interview was very good. After Murphy finished answering, another reporter asked his question, "in your early works, you have done script, photography, editing and scene design, but you have never been an actor. How do you communicate with actors?
"I will try to meet their demands." Murphy never ignores the importance of actors to the film, nor does she think that, as some people think, any actor can fit the role. "Sometimes these requirements may not be what they really need, or even the opposite, but I will try my best to help every actor. I will let them work in a comfortable environment, so as to help them show their best. You should have heard many directors deliberately embarrass actors, but I will never, I will make them believe that the role is tailor-made for them. "
The reporter of Premiere Magazine handed the microphone to him and asked, "how can you avoid shooting so many films and the more onerous song of ice and fire: the game of power, but you've never made up a shot?"
"Yes, I never make up shots, everything can be done in editing. First of all, Murphy agreed with the reporter, and then said, "I will stay with my editor all day, ponder over the shot material, carry out basic editing, delete some unnecessary pictures, and remove too much shot language. When I write a script, I always write more, so there will be a lot of space to delete some unnecessary pictures or dialogues in the final editing. The amazing thing is that sometimes the audience may not understand the same thing when they say it three times, but they will understand it when they say it once. So, for me, the most important thing in shooting and editing is to be concise and clear, and guide the audience straight into the right direction. "
Whatever the problem, Murphy takes it easy.
Later, a reporter from the official magazine of the Academy of film arts and Sciences asked a question, "in the film industry, what are you most concerned about now?"Murphy took a look at the reporter, and suddenly remembered that the college was carrying out vigorous anti piracy activities, and sued many companies and websites in court.
This is undoubtedly a hot topic, especially for colleges.
"Copyright theft is a very serious problem. When the film studio is still indifferent to it, I am very pleased with the leading role of the Academy. I think both the director and the studio should realize the importance of protecting copyright."
What kind of position you stand in, you will consider the problem from the corresponding position. Murphy is awe inspiring. "You can find a few friends and make a movie without spending much money. But when someone pays you money, when you make a living by making movies, you have to hire some talented people to help you complete your works, and the cost is often huge. The only way to ensure that you have money is to distribute the money well. Those who steal others' copyrights must be charged, put in prison and compensate others for their losses. There are many laws in this area, so the problem now is to implement it effectively. Judges and juries should understand what it means to steal copyrights. "
It's a fan meeting, and it's impossible to give all the time to the media reporters. With grace's reminding, Murphy timely ended this well ordered joint interview, and turned to his supporters' community to make the most direct contact with them.
In fact, it's nothing special. Most of the time, Murphy is repeating two things, taking photos with fans and signing them.
Compared with the media reporters who often throw away some difficult questions, Murphy is more relaxed to deal with these people. Undoubtedly, those who can enter the banquet hall are the hard core fans who are carefully selected. It's not too much to say that they are brain powder. Moreover, with the more peaceful atmosphere of the scene, they can't do too crazy things.
After signing and taking photos, Murphy's biggest feeling is that her hands are tired and her face is stiff
He was about to find a place to rest when a blonde girl suddenly appeared in front of him.
This is a blonde girl in her early twenties. Although she is not as attractive as Gail gado, she has bright eyes and white teeth. She is quite delicate and beautiful, and she will never be more than 25 years old.
"Hi, Murphy." She took the initiative to say hello, and the enthusiasm on her face was almost fanatical. "I'm so happy to meet you!"
"Hello."
Murphy saw that the blonde girl was eager to try, and seemed to rush over with her arms outstretched and her right hand outstretched. "It's my pleasure."
It seems that I didn't expect Murphy to be so friendly. The blonde girl was stunned for a moment, then scratched her face. She hurriedly held out her hand and shook it on Murphy's right hand. She was probably too excited. Her hand was a little shaking, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
To his supporters, Murphy is still very friendly and patient, and asks, "can I have your name?"
"I I... " After several breaths, the blonde finally calmed down and said, "I'm Daisy cruise, your IMDB Forum..."
Hearing this, Murphy immediately thought of a super die hard supporter organization that grace had mentioned to himself, and couldn't help saying, "you're the leader of the IMDB discussion group, aren't you?"
"You know me?" Daisy looked surprised. "Murphy, do you know me?"
"Of course!" Murphy nodded solemnly. "I know you are my most staunch supporters."
"Wow Wow... " The girl's face is completely incredible expression, excited to stand in the opposite circle, "God! Jesus! Allah! Murphy knows me. Murphy really knows me
"Hey Seeing how excited she was, Murphy reminded her, "calm down! Calm down
"Yes! Calm down Daisy took another deep breath and calmed down a little. "I need to calm down so I can have a good talk with you."
This is the leader of an important supporter organization. Of course, Murphy won't ignore it. She beckoned for a photographer to take a group photo for the two and talked to her about the IMDB discussion group.
After just a few minutes of conversation, Murphy can see that this blonde girl named Daisy is his brain powder in any way. Speaking of his movies and gossip, some gossip even he doesn't know when the tabloids have hyped it.
Murphy talked to her for about five minutes, ready to end the conversation. After all, he is one of the protagonists tonight and can't spend all his time on daisy alone.
"I've sent you a lot of letters." Daisy said suddenly, "but there's no answer. I've always wanted to discuss some film issues with you..."
Reply to fan letters has been done by CAA's special staff. After listening to her, Murphy said that people who know CAA may have ignored her and comfortingly said, "what's the problem, we can discuss it now."
