Murphy never hesitated when the right opportunity appeared in front of him to create eye-catching topics, so the female reporter's words immediately interested him, gave up those routine answers, and thought of a more suitable answer in a very short moment.
Frankly speaking, "city of chaos" has a good reputation, but it can't get rid of the limitations of non sequel original films. The box office growth doesn't seem to match the total investment of $300 million in production cost plus publicity expenses.
Especially from tomorrow, the new week will begin, and "city of chaos" will face the test of working day. If it doesn't create more topics in publicity, it may face a sharp decline in box office after the first weekend, just like most original films.
It's normal for the box office output to decline on weekdays, but if the one-day income of tens of millions of dollars falls to two or three million dollars, no one wants to see it.
Murphy threw out such an answer, of course, has its own purpose.
The female reporter was also very popular and immediately asked curiously, "why was the film prepared in the first place? We haven't seen a movie like that? "
"It was just a plan and it didn't work out in the end." Murphy deliberately sold off, "to be exact, the production company vetoed the plan."
For a director like him, everything that happens is news, not to mention the fact that the movie plan was once rejected.
All the reporters on the scene realized that this is a movie news that can set off waves at the same time. They were also curious about which production company would veto such a director's project.
Brad hansbain, a reporter from the New York Times, asked, "Murphy, which company is it? Can you tell me?"
"Well..." Murphy was in a bit of a dilemma and didn't seem to want to talk about it.
The female reporter urged, "your fans must really want to know about it."
Then a reporter coaxed, "the public has the right to know!"
"Yes
"Which company is it?"
Murphy raised his hand and made a gesture of pressing down. When the voice around him was lower, he said, "a few years ago, I was going to cooperate with Warner Brothers..."
Hearing the name of Warner Brothers, all the reporters pricked their ears. People who are well-informed all know that although Murphy cooperated with Warner Brothers and DC Comics in the masterpiece "body of steel", they didn't have much fun because of the pay and adaptation route.
Now that he started, Murphy didn't want to stop. "How do you say that? You should be able to see that "city of chaos" is not a movie, but a series of stories
The reporters nodded gently, which was obvious in the film. The magician of James Franco was specially told that he was definitely not out to make soy sauce, and the murderer behind Reina's death seemed to be Jay Rachel's father, and this character has not yet come to an end.
This film obviously has the next one, or even the next two, to form a complete trilogy.
Murphy changed the whole story and didn't worry about copyright disputes with DC's comics. "I wrote this trilogy about" city of chaos "to Batman at the earliest time."
“What?”
"What?"
"Batman?"
"Batman trilogy?"
"He wanted to adapt Batman?"
There was a commotion among the reporters at the scene. It seemed that they didn't expect that the name Batman would pop out of Murphy's mouth.
"Yes, it's Batman!" That's what Murphy wanted, and he continued, "although city of chaos has changed a lot in terms of the project, story and plot that I prepared for Batman at the beginning, the frame and theme of the film have not changed."
He laughs. "In fact, Batman's dark knight identity is very suitable for this film."
There were reporters who specialized in movies and Hollywood. They had some research on this industry. Think about the hero of "city of chaos" and master Bruce Wayne. If New York is replaced by Gotham, master's setting is very suitable for the theme and atmosphere of this film, just like Chris Dann.
In some ways, the two characters are a little similar. For example, they both lost their father in childhood, but Bruce Wayne's father is a real good man, and Chris Dane's father is a real good man only in front of his son.
It's a pity that Murphy and I totally overruled the plan
At this point, he shook his head, a very sorry look.
Brad hansbain, a reporter for the New York Times, asked, "Murphy, can you talk about why Warner Brothers refused?"
"They think the story is too dark, heavy and depressing..." Murphy shrugged. "I don't know the rest. You're going to ask Warner Brothers."Murphy winked, and grace, who accompanied him, immediately stood up and said in a loud voice, "that's all for today's interview. Thank you for your concern!"
A few bodyguards separated a passage, sent Murphy and grace on the RV, Gail gado and Margot Robbie have been waiting in the car.
"Grace." Murphy said, "tell Carla Firth and bill what you've just said, and let them take care of it."
He took a look at Margot Robbie, then lowered his voice, and said to grace, "inform our black powder organization, spread relevant information on the Internet, and make sure this topic gets hot."
When he had the idea, he cooperated with CAA to form the original loose network water army into a more professional black powder organization.
The professional black powder is more efficient and targeted than the network water army.
Moreover, at this stage of the development of the Internet in North America, the Internet water army that Hollywood has been using has lagged behind since "the witch Blair" in the 1990s. More professional Internet hype tools are also indispensable for people like Murphy. The video of
Murphy's interview was almost uploaded to oil woodlouse for the first time, which immediately caused quite a lot of attention.
After only half an hour, the relevant information on social networking sites represented by Facebook and twitter was also widely followed and forwarded. With the addition of Murphy's black powder organization, the connection between "city of chaos" and Batman and Warner brothers soon became a hot entertainment topic.
Murphy and Warner Bros. are the focus. Unfortunately, the latter has basically become the villain, especially in the mouth of DC fans.
A user named "I love Bruce Wayne" wrote on his twitter after forwarding the interview video of Murphy, "seeing the soul stirring and dark heavy theme of" city of chaos ", I can imagine how wonderful it would be if this story happened to the master! Originally, Murphy Stanton might have given Batman a new life on the big screen, but it was destroyed by the pigs of Warner management
A message on Facebook represents the voice of many DC fans, "think about the wonderful city of chaos, and then think about Clark Kent's brilliance through body of steel. Bruce Wayne's missing Murphy Stanton may be Batman's biggest regret in his life!"
There was also a comment behind, "dear master!"
Another person who forwarded it wrote, "my heart broke when I saw Murphy's interview video today. I went to see" city of chaos "tonight to soothe my heart."
This is just one of the representatives. Many DC fans who didn't pay attention to "city of chaos" originally, after watching these news and information, the most direct idea is to buy tickets to see the film in the cinema. Murphy has brought the glory of DC superhero movies before, and they won't be disappointed after watching them.
Although Chris Dann and Bruce Wayne have very obvious differences, their common dark attribute still makes DC fans feel deeply.
"If Chris Dann were replaced by Bruce Wayne, the whole story would be more exciting!"
"I strongly appeal to Murphy to come back to direct DC's superhero movies, especially to restart Batman movies. He will surely bring us a dark Epic!"
Similar voices are popping up on social networking sites.
Warner Bros. and the top management of DC Comics have also become the target pursued by reporters and paparazzi. Whether they participated in the talks with Murphy or not, they will all be asked why they want to reject Murphy Stanton's proposed Batman movie.
Some reporters even went to Warner Bros. premiere executive Bruce Rosenblum and asked him in person, "seeing the popularity of" city of chaos "and the box office is quite good, do you regret rejecting Murphy Stanton?".
Bruce Rosenbaum is so tired of all these things that he is now required to carry the black pot that his predecessor made.
In this series of word-of-mouth marketing and publicity hype, as the direct competitor of "city of chaos" this weekend, "Thor" has received less and less attention, and inevitably appeared the situation of marginalization. In addition to being criticized and interviewed by people and having no acting skills, the actors in "Thor" have hardly received any positive evaluation.
Natalie Portman, one of the most famous, is no exception.
She said that she didn't expect that after many years, she would play in a commercial masterpiece again and get these.
On Monday morning, Natalie Portman was sitting in the VIP restaurant of Four Seasons Hotel, drinking skimmed milk, reading the newspaper just delivered by her assistant, and seeing the hype about "city of chaos", she was always depressed.
This Murphy Stanton is so shameless! (to be continued). )
