Now that he has accepted Warner Brothers' request, Murphy will definitely not miss the premiere of "Batman vs. Superman", so he flew to New York, where the North American premiere was held.
Since the negotiation with Warner Brothers broke down because of the reward, Murphy didn't continue to pay attention to Warner and DC, except that they found Zac Schneider to take over the DC series. However, when he learned that Warner Brothers chose Batman vs Superman, he sighed in his heart. He wanted to correct the way of DC movies, but the other party stubbornly went back to the old way.
And he really can't understand why DC series and marvel series start at the same time?
Perhaps Warner Bros. and DC Comics want to prove that DC superhero movies can still achieve great success without Murphy Stanton.
This is Murphy's own random guess, of course not sure, but Warner Brothers and DC Comics did not take his initial step-by-step plan, it is true.
Because he was busy with Oscar PR before, and after Oscar PR was preparing the script and plan of the new project, Murphy didn't participate in the audition of "Batman vs Superman". However, according to the news on the market, the reputation of the audition seems to be quite good. The freshness of rotten tomatoes is as high as 100%. All the seven media participating in the audition have been highly praised, and the score of IMDB is not good for the time being There are 9.4.
even Warner's media are advocating zero bad reviews.
It's just like what Murphy remembered before the release of "Batman vs Superman.".
Once upon a time, the public praise of the film's pre release audition was extremely high, and the fans who participated in the audition even had zero bad reviews. What happened?
Before going to Lincoln Art Center, Murphy specially watched the trailer of "Batman vs. Superman", which was affected by his participation and appeared in advance, with a strong typical style of Zach Schneider. Although the lack of wonder woman led to many changes, it is not difficult to find Zach Schneider's deep-rooted personal style.
For die hard comic fans, Zac Schneider is always the best director of adaptation, but for passers-by audience, Zac Schneider's adaptation is too friendly.
After arriving at Lincoln Art Center, Murphy stepped onto the red carpet. Today's premiere is huge and the atmosphere is fanatical. Anyway, it's all Superman and Batman movies, which naturally attract people's attention.
Knowing that he is not the main character tonight, Murphy soon walks down the red carpet to see Chris Evans, who continues to play superman Clark Kent, and Ben Affleck, who plays Batman Bruce Wayne.
Although Murphy wants to enter the theater directly after passing through the red carpet, the media area set up in front of the theater is a place that must pass through, and those media reporters can't let him go at all.
A reporter gathered around and asked, "director Stanton, why did you quit DC's superhero series?"
Murphy shrugged, "because I have other films to shoot."
"What do you think of Zach Schneider taking over the series?" Another reporter asked.
"Zach Schneider is a very good director." Murphy's answer is "I believe he will bring us a wonderful superhero movie."
With that, he went straight to the theater regardless of other questions thrown by these reporters.
When we got to the gate of the theater, there was a rush of high-heeled shoes. It seemed that someone had come after us.
"Hi, Murphy."
Hearing the familiar voice, Murphy turned and looked. Margot Robbie, dressed in a goose yellow evening dress, had come over.
Murphy nodded and said with a smile, "when did you arrive, Maggie? I didn't expect to see you here."
Margot Robbie walked up to Murphy, took his arm politely, walked towards the theater together, and explained, "didn't you hear that? Warner Bros. and DC Comics are going to set up a project for the suicide team. "
"Are you interested in this project?" Murphy immediately understood what she meant.
"Well." Margot Robbie nodded. He didn't need to hide from Murphy. He said, "my agent suggested that I fight for the role of Harley Quinn."
Well, Murphy took a look at the character. "It suits you."
Entering the anteroom of the theatre, Margot Robbie remembered and asked, "hasn't Gail come back yet?"
"I came back once in February, and I went back again." Murphy simply said, "she has something to deal with at home. She will stay in Israel for a while."
Margot Robbie looked at Murphy and asked, "it can't be her parents..."
As a best friend, she knows something about Gail gado, including that her parents want her to stay in Tel Aviv for development.
"No Murphy shook his head. "It's business."
Just as Murphy was talking to Margot Robbie, a man came up and said, "Hi, Murphy, long time no see.""Hello, Bruce." Murphy shook his outstretched right hand. "It's been a long time."
It was Bruce Rosenblum, Warner Bros. chief executive, who had worked with him on body of steel.
Thinking that Margaret Robbie was going to fight for the role of clown, Murphy then introduced Bruce Rosenblum, "this is my friend, Margaret Robbie."
"Hello, Miss Robbie." Bruce Rosenblum shook Margot Robbie's hand. "Your role as Sasha Stark is impressive."
Margot - Robbie immediately made a face surprise, "thank you, you can see this play is my honor."
Bruce Rosenblum just looked at Murphy's face and exchanged greetings with a little-known actor. Then he turned to Murphy and said, "your" body of steel "has created a very good situation for us. This film of Zach Schneider is almost seamless with the" body of steel "
"Is it?" Murphy didn't say much, "then I'm going to have a good look at the film."
"As many times as you want." Bruce Rosenblum was complacent. "Warner brothers can give you free tickets."
Murphy shook his head. "That's not necessary."
Bruce Rosenblum pointed to the door of the theater. "I have other people to say hello to. Feel free."
Seeing Murphy nodding, he turned and walked towards the theater door. He also turned his head slightly once in the middle. He was disappointed to see Murphy joking with Margot Robbie.
When Warner Brothers first wanted to cooperate with Murphy Stanton, it was just that the price he offered was too high. The share of the film's total revenue of 12.5% was too high. In that case, Warner Brothers would have to pay him half of the profits.
No one in Hollywood is willing to pay such a high price for a director, so he chose to give up, and then looked for a new director. After many recommendations, he found a Zach Schneider with the most similar style to Murphy Stanton, and the other person's pay was cheap enough.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Zac Schneider has done quite well. Warner Bros. has organized a trial screening for DC Comics' die hard fans, and nearly a thousand comics' iron fans have no bad comments, which makes him and Warner's senior management have more expectations for this "Batman vs Superman".
If the film can succeed, it can pull the whole DC superhero series out of the shadow of Murphy Stanton and "body of steel", and also prove that he and Warner brothers made the right choice.
As long as the box office and word-of-mouth boom, all this is not a problem.
After greeting some of the people I met, Murphy entered the screening hall, and Margot Robbie followed. He also changed seats with the people next to Murphy and sat on his left.
"Murphy."
Before the film was shown, Margot Robbie asked, "what do you think of the film?"
"How do I know?" Murphy opened his hand. "I didn't go to Warner Bros. audition. I didn't see it. How can I know whether it's good or bad?"
Margot Robbie shrugged. "I thought you saw it."
Soon, the film began to show, which was similar to what Murphy remembered. The film started from the perspective of Batman. The absolute protagonist in "body of steel" inevitably became Batman's supporting role. In fact, it was nothing. But after watching for a while, he could only shake his head.
This "Batman vs Superman" is definitely not a bad movie. It's still a long way from Hollywood's super bad movies, but just like the previous one, the movie directed by Zach Schneider is for DC fans in any way.
It is not a popular and diversified commercial film at all, nor is it an easy to understand work. Another reason is that a lot of things have been deleted from the clips. Even so, the amount of information is still too large. Even people like Murphy, who have roughly read comics, sometimes get confused and can't digest it in time
Indeed, the movie itself is personalized, especially in Murphy's impression that Zach Schneider has always had his own style. Maybe fans think that his making is a good way to restore the comic and use the dark style properly.
But the problem is that as the first few films of the whole series, they can be said to be groundbreaking works. The groundbreaking works don't need to circle fans, but are just used to please old fans. Is that really no problem for the production company?
On the other hand, the rhythm of the film is too slow and the plot is too long. Now it is an information age with more rhythm than before. This kind of rhythm is almost doomed to be unacceptable to a considerable number of audiences who have adapted to the fast-paced life.
"Poof..."
When the movie is put into the last part of Batman vs. Superman, Margot Robbie beside Murphy can't help laughing, and then there are more exaggerated laughter in the cinema.
This is a dark and heavy film, without any jokes, which makes people laugh. What does that mean? (to be continued). )
