Chapter 605

As a typical American poop comedy, professional word-of-mouth is not important at all, and this type of film has not been well received by the film critics. It can be said that doomsday is a rare R-class comedy film that has won more praise in recent years. However, as the investor, Murphy and the distributor, 20th century fox are very clear about the only way to measure this kind of film Standard, that's box office results.

There is no possibility that this kind of film can be produced in the award season. If there is no outstanding box office performance, the subsequent TV copyright, VOD and DVD sales will be seriously affected.

On Monday morning, instead of doing morning exercises, Murphy turned on her computer and logged into her mailbox.

Gail gadola passed a blanket around him, walked up behind Murphy, bent over his neck, and looked attentively at the computer screen.

Feeling two smooth and delicate arms, Murphy deliberately tilted his head and rubbed it a few times.

"Don't move." Gail gado bit his ear. "Prick How many days have you not shaved? "

"Just two days."

Murphy deliberately rubbed her white arm again, which made Gail gado's smooth skin suddenly appear a layer of small pimples.

Gail gado simply loosened his hand, stood up, looked at the computer screen and said, "Carla's mail."

At a glance, Murphy moves the mouse to open the e-mail marked with Kara Firth. The content of the e-mail appears in front of him and Gail gado. There is not much written in it.

However, there is a striking figure on the front - 48.6 million dollars!

This is the number of box office tickets for the North American premiere weekend of doomsday!

"Very good!" Gail gado laughs. "It looks promising that the box office in North America will exceed 150 million dollars."

Murphy nodded. "It shouldn't be a big problem."

In just three days, the North American box office of this film has exceeded the production cost. For such a low-cost comedy film, it can be described as a box office explosion.

"There's more down there." Gail gado reminded.

Murphy slides the mouse wheel and continues to look down.

"Doomsday's theater audience rating（ Cinema.Score ）The popcorn index is 85% and the audience has a good reputation. With this reputation and the appeal of Stanton's followers, the film's box office in North America is expected to hit $200 million in the end. "

"The media evaluation of the film is above average, with 72% of the 136 media included in rotten tomato giving high praise, with an average score of 7.2; the comprehensive evaluation of authoritative media Metacritic includes 43 media with an average score of 71, far higher than other R-rated comedies released in recent two years."

On the whole, the word-of-mouth of doomsday is good, and Cinema.Score There is no mention of $150 million in North America. It is predicted that it will hit $200 million.

If the box office of the film in North America can reach 200 million dollars, Stanton gangsters will become the box office elixir of Hollywood.

"I heard Carla say," Gail gado seems to know Murphy's mind very well. "Twentieth Century Fox would like you to continue to play similar comedy movies together, and give Seth Logan and Jonah Hill enough power."

Murphy raised his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "it's not too much for the five of us to add up to 30-35 percent of the box office share of 20th century fox."

Gail gado shrugged and did not answer directly.

In fact, Murphy's idea is very simple. In such comedies, he is basically making soy sauce. He can receive a basic salary. Seth Logan and Jonah hill, as the core of comedy, can take more.

These two people are not like him, James Franco and Robert Downey Jr. to get such a high film pay, Seth Logan and Jonah Hill's film pay is still at a relatively low stage.

Now with the success of hangover and doomsday, Seth Logan and Jonah Hill have enough capital.

After breakfast, Murphy drove to the Death Star building alone, and bill rosis had been waiting in his office.

"Murphy, you have to be prepared."

Putting a cup of coffee on the table in front of Murphy, Bill rosis went to the sofa on the left and sat down. He said, "the cloud of child abuse has attracted doubts and criticisms from the Catholic Church in those years, and the scene you shot is no exception. Your plan will certainly bring great pressure."

"It doesn't matter." Murphy didn't seem to care too much. "I can take it. It's a good film. People in 20th Century Fox have seen the sample film, and they have no objection. "

If there is anything wrong with the film, the 20th century fox will not be able to pass.

Since fox dares to show in the 20th century, by Hollywood and American film standards, these clips will be OK.Thinking of the other day, Murphy said to bill rosis, "the Catholic Archbishop of Southern California, father Marcus Costello, visited wave manor the other day."

"What did he say?" Asked Bill rosis with concern.

"Nothing..." Murphy shook his head and told the truth, "he should have heard some uncertain news. He came to test my attitude and I sent him away."

Bill rosis clasped the armrest of the sofa with his right hand. "If he wants to see you again, let me know in time."

He was aware of Murphy's character and warned, "although Catholicism is only one of the many religious forces in California, and it is far from the biggest, we should not ignore them."

"I know." Murphy picked up his coffee cup. "I don't look down on anyone."

He took a sip of his coffee and asked, "how's the authorization for the Boston Globe story going?"

Bill rosis is very clear that such a controversial event is a natural and high-quality theme for film adaptation. Especially when Murphy told him last time, he vaguely talked about his intention. This is a series of interlocking plans. If it really succeeds, both Murphy himself and his agent can make a big step forward in his career.

Hollywood circle to a certain position, want to continue to move forward is undoubtedly very difficult, now see such an opportunity, Bill - rosis think it is worth the risk.

"With your charisma, CAA and 20th century fox, the negotiation was smooth." Bill rosis said with a smile, "I've got the support of Robbie Robinson and others, and I've pushed the focus film industry out."

Murphy put down his coffee cup. "When can I get the authorization?"

"The negotiations are coming to an end." Bill rossis suggested, "you'd better let Gail go to Boston in person to have a final negotiation with them."

Bill rosis can do the preliminary work, but it must be Stanton studio who signs the agreement. Murphy knows this very well and says, "well, I'll ask Gail to come to you tomorrow. You two can discuss how to do it."

Now that Gail gado is in charge of Stanton studio, Murphy will certainly let her handle this work.

Murphy thought for a moment and said, "bill, if the Catholic church doesn't respond after the release of Diego Ross..."

"We can get the media to stir up the flames." Bill - rossis said without hesitation, "as long as the media widely concerned and reported, this kind of thing will certainly attract the attention of the Catholic Church."

"In that way, they will certainly make a noise..." Murphy raised his chin. "As long as they talk, it's easy."

Even in places such as Hollywood, there is also external rejection. Foreign voices are too fierce to attack a big Hollywood director with high influence, especially when it comes to Hollywood's irreconcilable freedom of shooting, which often triggers a very strong rebound.

Thinking of his plans for next year and the adaptation of the Boston Globe report that Bill rosis was going to talk about, Murphy knows that this is the best opportunity for a director who is completely inclined to commercialization.

A lot of things in this world are not what you want to get, let alone what you can get if you do it well enough. They need more careful planning and excellent operation.

In order to get the trophy he wants, Murphy has done so much preparation before. He doesn't want to be Ridley Scott or David finch. He will always be a runner.

As for the Catholic Church, it's really troublesome, but it's not the past after all, otherwise there won't be so many movies about the scandal of the Catholic Church.

Twenty years ago, even fifteen years ago, Murphy would have been cautious even if similar subjects came to us. However, the world is constantly changing, and in some ways, those things have been widely spread in many circles.

Murphy and bill rosis discussed some matters needing attention in this regard, and bill rosis changed the topic. "Another thing, El James called me one after another some time ago to ask when she could put her novel on the big screen."

"Gray's fifty shadows" has been revised by El James, and this series has also set off a certain wave on the Internet, with many supporters.

"Tell her not to worry." Murphy thought about it, and bill rossis said, "Stanton studio is contacting publishers for books, and has also reached an e-book agreement with Amazon. When the books spread more widely, I will naturally plan the adaptation."

Bill rossis nodded and reminded, "don't forget, fox is going to interview you this week."

Murphy pointed to his forehead. "I know. How's grace communicating with them? "

"It's going well. In the 20th century, fox was also trying to promote several films now and in the future by publicizing you. The problem will basically focus on this."

After spending more than an hour in bill Rossi's office, Murphy leaves. When he walks out of the Death Star building, he receives a call from Gail gado. El James calls Stanton studio again.Murphy's meaning is very clear. Don't worry. In a marisu movie like this, you must be careful. (to be continued). )
