Chapter 579

This Caribbean island belongs to a business group, which is specially used for external rental. It not only has church rooms, but also has all kinds of entertainment facilities. When you come out of the residential area and turn around a coconut forest, the space suddenly opens up. In front of you is a piece of soft sand Beach, which is dyed golden under the reflection of a lot of bonfires. In the distance, there is a quiet sea, sea Water cushion on the edge of the beach, gentle as a lover's wet kiss.

However, none of these can attract people's attention. The most eye-catching is the beautiful women on the beach. Their bodies are healthy and symmetrical in swimsuits, and their smooth lines represent the strict training. Even if Murphy looks at them with layman's eyes, he can guess that these people are either models or have been models.

After the relatively rigorous wedding ceremony and banquet, the theme of the bonfire party is carnival.

Compared with those who don't have a family, Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. stay away from the area and light a campfire alone. Murphy stands by the grill, turns on the simple electric oven, and takes out some kebabs to show off his craft.

Mutton, cumin, chili powder Murphy once played barbecue in his hometown, where the barbecue stall is the hottest place in summer and autumn.

"Come and get it..." Murphy put the kebab on the tray and said, "eat it while it's hot."

Gail gado came to carry the kebabs and gave them to the people sitting at the long dining table near the campfire.

Murphy roasted some more Beef Kebabs, washed his hands in the water basin, took them back to his seat, took a big sip of cold beer, and then asked, "bill, did you just say that the media invited Gail?"

Since "body of steel", bill rossis has also been the agent of Gail gado's actor business.

"Gail is very famous. Wonder woman is very popular." "As far as I know, Gayle's fan organizations have been established in many places, and they are still calling on her to continue to play wonder woman," he said

"Is it?" Gail gado shrugged. "I don't think we'll have a chance."

She only signed a film contract with Warner Bros. and DC Comics, but now Murphy's cooperation with Warner Bros. is completely broken, and she has no intention of continuing to act as wonder woman on the screen.

Even if the role is very interesting, you can play role-playing with Murphy in private.

"What Downey said is true. Gail has a lot of fans."

After little Robert Downey, Bill rosis found a chance to speak, "otherwise the media would not have invited me."

Murphy asked with interest, "what invitation?"

Bill rosis replied, "Victoria's Secret invites Gail to this year's Vermeer show, and Anna Wintour wants Gail to be on the cover in July."

"Well." Murphy nodded her head.

He can only know about this aspect. As for whether to accept it or not, he will not intervene. Gail gado is the master.

Gail gado is very assertive, "Victoria's Secret invitation has been pushed. I haven't practiced the steps for many years, and I don't have much time to practice."

Although she has been a model before, she has given up the industry for many years.

"Anna Wintour's invitation..."

Invitation from fashion magazines is a great temptation for every woman, and Gail gado is no exception. She thought for a moment and said, "I need to think about this."

No need for bill rosis to elaborate. Murphy knows that Anna Wintour is the archetype of Meryl Streep in devil in Prada, the editor in chief of American edition of fashion magazine.

Maybe it's the relationship of having been a model. Gail gado is very interested in fashion.

After a barbecue, Jonah hill and Seth Logan, the two bachelors, left for a reason and went to the beach where beautiful women gathered to have fun. The topic of the rest of them gradually turned to the movies, especially the still on "Thor" and "city of chaos".

"This is the fifth weekend of the show..." Bill rosis knows the dynamics of Hollywood like the palm of his hand. "According to the authoritative prediction of the market, the North American box office of Raytheon may exceed 115 million US dollars after this weekend. Now that the blockbusters are coming out one after another and the film arrangement is severely squeezed, the final North American box Office of the film should be between 125 million US dollars and 130 million US dollars."

"I remember it's a little bit better overseas than in North America," James Franco interjected

"Well." Bill - rosis nodded, "overseas accumulation of nearly 140 million dollars, the film's global box office is difficult to break 300 million dollars."

"What about city of chaos?" Lily Collins put down the vegetable kebab, wiped her mouth with a napkin and said, "can it be three times as big as Thor?"Murphy was drinking beer. Gail gado saw that he didn't speak and said, "it's impossible. After this weekend, the box office in North America is estimated to be close to 245 million dollars."

Lily Collins said enviously, "that $250 million will be OK."

"But overseas is at most 300 million dollars." Gail gado sighed. "The world is about 580 million dollars."

Although this achievement is good, compared with the huge investment of the film, it is still not ideal.

"It's more than fox expected in the 20th century." Bill rosis then said, "this film plus other peripheral income, cost recovery should not be a big problem, the most important thing is a good audience reputation, will establish a certain audience base, when the second film is released, the situation will be completely different."

Murphy put down his glass and said, "so, bill, you have to communicate with 20th century fox. The word-of-mouth marketing of this film can't stop."

The follow-up word-of-mouth marketing is very important, which can be directly converted into the box office of the first week of the second film in the future.

"It's a pity that Thor..." Robert Downey, Jr. shook his head. "It's the cannon fodder for the city of chaos."

Susan Downey took the tissue from Robert Downey, wiped her hands and said, "this is the film that paved the way for the Avengers, and the box office of about $300 million is good."

Little Robert Downey spread his hand, "the problem is that the film's reputation is too bad, not only can't help" Avengers alliance ", but will delay."

He looked at Murphy and said, "under your influence, the attitude of the critics towards superhero movies is totally different now. It's hard to get good reviews for the simple and mindless popcorn."

"Summer films..." Murphy said with a smile, "the influence of the critics is not big."

Robert Downey, Jr. shook his head. "Generally, that's true, but the problem is that Thor's professional reputation is so bad."

At this point, he changed a strange tone, "the biggest failure of this film is to join the plot, not the plot, as long as the muscle man flies around in the air, thundering and electrifying. What plot do you want, what plot do you want, what plot do you want, what plot do you want..."

"These critics..." Little Robert Downey can't help shaking his head, "today's film critics are just abusive."

Murphy also agrees with Robert Downey Jr. "with the new generation of fans becoming the main body of the market, the influence of the old generation of film critics is getting smaller and smaller, and the new generation of film critics' professional self-cultivation is really low."

"Iron Man 2" has been bombarded by film critics, and Robert Downey Jr. seems to have a deep resentment towards the critics. "There have been great people like Andre Bazin in the film critics who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the film industry, but what is the status quo of the professional film critics when the first group of film critics with high professional and professional qualities retired?"

answered differently, and he said, "the quality of the film critics is getting lower and lower. Besides make complaints about Tucao, no real critics can write any film reviews. Their knowledge level and professional quality are very poor. What they write is also called film review? What is film review? Although Andre's comments on the development of film industry are not only the guidance of Bazin Andre's film theory, but also his comments on the development of film industry

Now fully commercialized Robert Downey Jr., like Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp, is not the dish in the eyes of professional film critics.

Correspondingly, Robert Downey Jr. was scolded too much and didn't like professional film critics. He continued, "a real film critic must have a profound cultural connotation, not only an understanding of popular culture, but also a professional understanding of film. Originally, film review was supposed to be a very high-end profession, but now it is low-end. Many people with very poor professional quality are mixed in. These people are good at nothing except using vicious and loud words to win readers' interest. "

Little Robert Downey's words are not without reason. Even though he is more praised by professional film critics, he has to admit that today when the influence of the old generation of professional film critics is getting smaller and smaller, the overall quality of new film critics is seriously declining, and it is not easy to see brilliant film critics.

Most of these film critics just follow suit. All commercial films will be defeated, and all fast-paced films full of visual impact will be disdained. What's their own opinion? Even if sometimes their views are right and a film is really bad, when they are asked to put forward why it is bad, their reasons are really surprising. They don't have the most basic professional quality at all.

In Robert Downey's denunciation of the critics, the bonfire party ended. Murphy stayed here for one night, and the next day flew back to Los Angeles alone to meet his lawyer Robert. (to be continued). )
