Chapter 577

Since a few years ago, Hollywood has seen the potential of the market across the Pacific Ocean, and six major companies have also made arrangements. The most classic one is that Walt Disney has invested a lot of money in the construction of Disneyland, thus winning a preferential entry ticket for its own films and other supporting products.

By the time Avatar was born, it was easy to become the box office champion of the other side market in history. Anyone with a clear eye in this circle can see that the film market across the Pacific has entered a period of rapid development.

No one wants to let go of this feast. The six major Hollywood companies want to get a piece of it.

When James Murdoch asked such a question, Murphy immediately understood what he meant.

Besides, he also knows that, with the exception of James Cameron's Avatar, other films produced and released by 20th century fox, like "city of chaos", do not perform well at the box office on the other side of the Pacific Ocean market, far inferior to those made by Disney, Universal Pictures and other companies.

Murphy thought for a moment and said, "how do you say that? I do know something about there, but... "

He shook his head. "My style is not very suitable for the current market situation."

"Murphy's right." Kara Firth added, "whether it's body of steel or the next few films, our Far East Branch has done a survey. Murphy has a small group of very strong fans there, but the number is too small."

"Well." James Murdoch nodded and suddenly said, "why don't we change our thinking and strategy?"

Murphy didn't quite understand what he meant and asked, "what strategy?"

"For example, in our film, we should add some opposite elements appropriately." James Murdoch has recently done some field research, "we can use the actors over there in less important roles, such as Miss Zhang or Jack Chen."

Carla Firth agrees, "I think so."

Compared with Kara Firth and James Murdoch, Murphy knows this strategy better, thinks about it, and says, "I think this strategy should have the right film and the right role. If a role is inserted stiffly, it will not only not get the recognition of the audience on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, but also lower the reputation of the film, which is not worth the loss."

In order to add the opposite elements, it's really not appropriate to add a dispensable role.

Murphy added, "I've been there a few times, and I've been in touch with front-line audiences and filmmakers, which doesn't really attract audiences and increase box office revenue."

James Murdoch frowned slightly, looked at Murphy, and then looked at Carla Firth. He didn't know much about Murphy, but he knew Carla Firth. He saw that Carla Firth didn't refute and said nothing more.

"Do you think that's all right?" Kara Firth trusts Murphy very much in movies. "We add some appropriate elements and roles to the version on the other side of the ocean. Outside the market there, in order to avoid these factors affecting the movie, we can cut them all."

Hearing this, Gail gado interjected, "a special version for the market over there?"

"Yes Carla Firth nodded, "a special version."

"It's OK to do it once or twice every once in a while." Murphy is very clear about the pros and cons. "If the number of times is too much, it will inevitably cause the opposite audience's resistance. The audience is always sensitive, and it will be counterproductive to deliberately please them."

Carla Firth also understood this, saying, "it's just a short-term plan. We'll only use it in two or three films."

Murphy nodded and said, "the best way is to blend the opposite elements in the right movie."

Rigid insertion is definitely counterproductive.

Later, a few people talked about the future cooperation plan of 20th century fox with the film companies there, including the co production with Wanda Group.

It's true that CO production seems to be the best way for Hollywood to cooperate with the other side, but the premise is not to bring out some nondescript things, such as letting thieves from the West save the world there and so on.

Some time ago, when Murphy and Carla feiston called, she particularly mentioned that in the cooperation between 20th Century Fox and Wanda Group, the other party stuffed an actress in. This kind of thing is very common in the film industry of any country. However, Murphy once refused Wanda and was not interested in using her in her own films.

If it's a small role of a passer-by, Murphy won't care. The problem is that according to Wanda's agreement with 20th century fox, if she is used, it must be the No.1 or No.2 woman in the film.

It's impossible for Murphy to get a group of famous actors to specially support this person. Although his bottom line is very low, and he is not a good man. To be exact, he is still a thief. However, at this point, he will cherish feathers instead of giving up his last face for some inexplicable reasons.

make complaints about Murphy's shameless voice neither fish nor fowl, but he is in the mood to see the film industry developing. It is inevitable that he wants to develop with the international market. But the connection is not to get some freaks out. It is not as bad as some movies.If the audience is not satisfied with the movie, they have the right to criticize it. That kind of "you can do it, you can do it" argument can't be more funny.

In the 20th century, fox wants to cooperate with Wanda Group. That's their business. Murphy won't participate in it, especially when some people have too much appetite and always want to be number one.

Near midnight, Murphy left, and Carla Firth was just about to leave. She let the driver drive, and she got into Murphy's car.

"James Murdoch is very ambitious." Murphy started the car and drove onto the road to Beverly Hills. "It seems that I really want to make some achievements."

Carla Firth and Gail gado both sat in the back row, hearing Murphy say, "his goal is to take over the whole news corporation."

"You are worried about the market across the Pacific."

If it's just James Murdoch, Murphy doesn't care about it. "Fat people never eat a meal."

"Disney's performance there has doubled in recent years." Carla Firth shrugged. "It's eye watering."

Gail gado interjected, "but Walt Disney's layout is very early, and the advantages of Disneyland can't be offset by several films."

Three people talked about this topic, but they didn't come up with any results. Carla Firth is now in charge of the production and distribution departments of fox in the 20th century, and is also the most important content provider in the development of fox in the whole 20th century. Naturally, she wants to make more achievements.

Her goal is also very clear. When James Murdoch takes over the whole News Corporation, she will become the speaker of fox in the 20th century.

The black SUV enters Beverly Hills. Murphy puts down Kara Firth before driving back to wave manor.

After returning to Los Angeles from Tel Aviv, Murphy didn't have a good rest. The next day, there was nothing important, so he simply hid at home. Near noon, Bill rosis called. Oprah Winfrey was very efficient and had contacted him and CAA.

As last night, Murphy's attitude is quite clear, let bill rosis find a suitable reason to decline Oprah Winfrey's invitation.

In addition, there are several other media's exclusive interview invitation. Now that the hottest stage of "city of chaos" is over, Murphy asks bill rosis to choose the right one for the interview, and all the others are pushed away.

And he asked Bill Rossi to put off all work for the time being next weekend, because James Franco and Lily Collins are going to have a wedding.

Just like Robert Downey Jr. when he got married, James Franco also invited Murphy to be his best man. This is his best friend, and Murphy will not refuse. At the same time, he is also preparing an indispensable best man speech.

Gail gado is much busier than Murphy, who is hiding at home all weekend. She will be Lily Collins' bridesmaid, and Margot Robbie, who is also the bridesmaid, will stay with lily Collins all day.

This Sunday night, all the stantons went out. Even Robert Downey, Jr., who was far away from London to make up for the Avengers, came back to pack a luxury nightclub on Hollywood avenue to hold a bachelor party for James Franco.

This kind of party is carnival. Murphy, Seth Logan, Jonah hill, James Franco and Robert Downey Jr., together with Paul Wilson, Philip Raschel and David Robbie of Stanton studio team, spent nearly 200000 dollars just drinking.

Not to mention other people, even Murphy, who is usually very abstemious, was sent home the next morning, slept for a whole day and recovered from drunkenness.

Then, his head seemed to burst. He had not drunk so much wine since he came here.

Frankly speaking, he's in a good mood. Anyway, he's really happy for James Franco. It's really not easy for the stantons to join hands in this circle full of the temptation of fame and wealth.

They fight in groups and help each other. Compared with the little actors and directors at the beginning, even the worst Jonah hill is now a star actor in Hollywood.

Just as Murphy and others reveled for James Franco, "city of chaos" also spent its fourth weekend in North America. After weekdays and weekend screenings, the North American box office of the film also successfully exceeded the $200 million mark, with a total of $223.5 million in North America.

The global box office also exceeded US $400 million, reaching US $435.67 million.

In the continuous good news, Murphy also ushered in the wedding of James Franco and Lily Collins. (to be continued). )
