Chapter 573

As "city of chaos" will be launched on a large scale in overseas markets this weekend, according to the publicity plan formulated by 20th century fox, Murphy needs to take the main members of the crew to Europe to participate in some publicity activities in important cities in Britain, France, Germany and Spain.

In the 20th century, fox provided the crew with a private business plane to carry them around Europe.

On Tuesday morning, Gail gado drove Murphy to the private apron of Los Angeles International Airport.

"If there's something that can't be solved, remember to call me."

As Murphy got out of the car, he gave Gael gado a strong kiss on the lip. Gael gado nodded gently, "I will."

Instead of participating in the crew's overseas publicity, she plans to go back to Israel to see her mother in Tel Aviv.

Wave goodbye to Gail gado. As soon as Murphy gets on the plane, her cell phone rings.

After picking up the phone, a strange voice sounded in the receiver. The voice politely said a few words and introduced himself. Murphy understood his origin. James Murdoch, the new co chairman and CEO of fox in the 20th century, is the little son of Rupert Murdoch, the media tycoon, and the high school classmate of Carla Firth.

A long time ago, he heard Kara Firth mention that she and James Murdoch are high school classmates. In the 20th century, fox is also supported by each other. Moreover, the reason why James Murdoch supports her is to cultivate her own team in 20th Century Fox and successfully control 20th century fox in the future.

Even if Murphy doesn't know much about the news media industry, he knows that the paper media is declining. Kara Firth has also heard that Rupert Murdoch has been trying to split News Corp. into Fox and paper media in recent years, so as not to slow down the development of the former.

Within any big family, the fight for succession is very fierce. Since James Murdoch is recognized by the outside world as the most suitable successor of Rupert Murdoch, he must also have certain ability. It is not difficult to see that 20th century fox, which is composed of high-quality assets such as network media, Fox TV network and film and television production department, is more valuable.

If Murphy is in the position of James Murdoch to fight for such an asset, he will first consider taking 20th century fox, and then plot the rest of News Corporation.

But under normal circumstances, shouldn't James Murdoch be in the UK? And then it's until the eavesdropping scandal takes the blame and resigns

"A party later?" In his head, Murphy kept thinking, "of course, I will go."

James Murdoch called in person to invite him to a party held for some time. The other party was the new co chairman and CEO of 20th century fox. Of course, Murphy had no reason to refuse.

Hang up the phone, under the guidance of flight attendants, come to their seats to sit down, Murphy is still thinking about James Murdoch.

Rupert Murdoch's youngest son is very much like Carla Firth. In order to achieve his goal, he often does everything by any means. Many of the British "eavesdropping" activities may be inspired by him. For example, eavesdropping on Prince William and the British royal family can't be carried out by the following reporters on their own. There must be support from the top of News Corporation.

Such a person, Murphy does not exclude, but James Murdoch, after all, is not Kara Firth, contact with him must be reserved.

Why did he go back to North America from England now?

This is what Murphy is curious about, but after thinking about it for a while, he thinks that it may be because of the influence of Kara Firth on James Murdoch.

After all, he vaguely remembers that James Murdoch was forced to resign because of "eavesdropping door", then dormant for several years, and then took charge of 20th century fox.

Murphy shook his head. Who knows how these things change? The world is moving forward after all.

"Hi, Murphy."

As the greeting rang out, Murphy raised her eyes to see Margot Robbie sitting opposite, nodded to her and said, "are you crazy about suits?"

I vaguely remember that from the beginning of shooting Jay Rachel's play, Margot Robbie rarely wore a skirt, and always wore a fit lady's suit like Jay Rachel. She was very smart and capable.

"Good news for you." Margot Robbie winked at Murphy. "I met Natalie Portman yesterday."

Murphy didn't even think about it, so he asked, "are you provoking?"

He knew Margot Robbie ten years ago. After she came to Hollywood, her career basically revolved around Stanton studio, and she was a good friend with Gail gado, so Murphy knew her better.

Now Margot Robbie looks like a beautiful, generous, smart and capable girl. In fact, she still has the wild nature of Australian cowboy when she was a child.She is extroverted, unlike Gail gado, who is a little introverted. Since she meets Natalie Portman, she still has some capital, so it's strange that she doesn't jump out to look for trouble.

"No provocation!" Margot Robbie lowered her voice and said, "I'm just discussing with her the gap between Thor and city of chaos, and telling her the gap between her and you."

Murphy rolled his eyes. "You're boring enough."

"Hello Margot Robbie's eyes widened. "Aren't we bad people? How can bad people not do bad things? "

As soon as he said this, Murphy was speechless and didn't bother to talk to her again.

Just then, the flight attendants came to remind them to fasten their seat belts, and the plane was about to take off.

After the plane entered a state of smooth flight, Henry Carville suddenly came over.

"What's up, Henry?" Murphy looked at him and asked.

Henry Carvel scratched his head and said with a smile, "nothing special. I just want to say thank you."

"You're welcome." Murphy shook his head. "You deserve it."

"Really, Murphy." Henry Carville said sincerely, "I'm very grateful that you chose me."

In the face of such a smiling face, Murphy is also quite polite, "you have proved that I did not choose the wrong person."

Henry Carvel chuckled twice, then politely asked Murphy to return to his seat.

Margot Robbie looked at Henry Cavell, then at Murphy, and said, "do I want to thank you specifically, too?"

"No need." Murphy said directly, "we're friends. We don't have to be polite."

After chatting with Margot Robbie, Murphy took the information he had with him, checked the latest news of the film, and also passed the boring journey.

Yesterday's Monday, "city of chaos" ushered in the first working day after its release in North America. Thanks to the previous topic hype and good reputation, the decline of the film was relatively ideal, with a single day harvest of $9.5 million. Although it fell to less than $10 million, it was not wrong.

"Raytheon" is not so stable trend, affected by the poor reputation, the film's one-day box office on Monday fell more than 70% compared with last Sunday, only got more than $3.4 million.

Many Box Office forecasters have also released the latest box office forecast, most of them think that the final box office of Raytheon in North America is difficult to exceed 150 million US dollars.

At the same time, these institutions predict that as long as the box office of "city of chaos" does not decline significantly this weekend, it will not be difficult for North American box office to eventually exceed $200 million, and it may even hit the $250 million mark.

Murphy is very clear that the second weekend in North America is quite crucial. Today, Thor will not threaten chaos city in the second weekend. Speed and passion 5 has never brought much trouble. It is the newly released film at the end of this week that may really threaten chaos city.

Generally speaking, the first week of the summer season will consume quite a lot of fans' accumulated heat. The second weekend of the summer season is not a good time, just like "city of chaos" would rather choose the first week of the summer season. Few Hollywood blockbusters will be released in the second weekend.

However, according to the information that Murphy saw, a film still attracted his attention. The most popular bridesmaids released by universal pictures will be released this weekend. It's a standard summer comedy. As long as the quality of such a film is OK, there has always been no lack of market. Moreover, the producer of the film is Judd apatu.

That's the leader of another Hollywood team, the apatu party.

In today's Hollywood, it is generally recognized that there are three organizations that are more united and like to fight together. They are Murphy's own Stanton party followers, the apatu Party headed by Judd apatu and the rotten gang with Ben Stiller as the center.

The films produced by these three organizations have always achieved good commercial results.

"The most popular bridesmaids" is also the only film that Murphy saw newly released this weekend, which is really likely to get a good box office result.

However, the audience of this film is quite different from that of "city of chaos", and there won't be too direct competition between the two.

Compared with "the most popular brides", Murphy pays more attention to the performance of "city of chaos" in the overseas market. After all, the overseas performance of his films has never been particularly good.

The plane arrived in London smoothly. As soon as Murphy and his party walked out of the airport, they were surrounded by a large group of crazy British journalists. These guys were far more crazy than their American counterparts. Even a large group of security personnel could not separate them.

"Director Stanton..."

Most British journalists don't care about movies at all. They focus on celebrities' frills. "Are you really gay with James Franco?"

Another reporter saw Margot Robbie walking next to Murphy, and immediately put his brain to the two of them. (to be continued). )
