Chapter 606

Although it was a huge cost for greyton Murdoch to go to the studio to adapt the movie, it didn't cost enough .

Although the film once caused a huge topic, it was not very successful in business. Apart from the large-scale drama as a gimmick, the ordinary structure of the overbearing president and marisue, it was not brilliant.

As for the film's reputation, it can be said that it is rotten to a certain extent.

Frankly speaking, after seeing that film, Murphy was bored except for the shocking r rating. It's better to go to the trailer.

To put it bluntly, this is a love story between marisu and the overbearing president, but the president has a little hobby. This is a simple love story, with some adult elements, more suitable for adult women to watch.

Nowadays, it's hard for this type of film to make any more achievements. Romantic comedy is no longer a film type that can easily be sold in North America. If you look at Julia Roberts' sharp decline since the new century, you can understand the development trend of romantic comedy.

One of the most important types of romantic comedy is Cinderella's love for the prince, which is also known as the Marisol film.

Of course, no matter how the novel is adapted, it is always a marisu movie, which can't be changed.

Murphy is thinking about how to make this marisue movie a little more advanced and more suitable for the present era.

Just after thinking for a while, Murphy had his own thoughts, and determined one of the most basic points, which is also an indispensable point of today's commercial film - money!

An excellent marisu needs an excellent packaging, no matter it's beautiful or sexy. Generally speaking, it's eye-catching. Both male and female viewers should think it's delicious.

Therefore, art production and visual effects should always be as beautiful as Mary Sue's weeping love story.

Marisu's beauty and beauty depend not only on the actor's natural capital, but also on the money throwing effect the day after tomorrow.

As a director, Murphy naturally knows that beautiful actors need packaging.

In this regard, the Princess Diaries series is no doubt a model. In order to highlight the effect, the royal family members play with all their clothes. Julie Andrews, who plays the queen, wears a Burmese ruby necklace weighing 74 grams, and her earrings are inlaid with 104 carats of diamonds. This blinding dress costs us $2 million. The props and wedding rings used by Anne Hathaway in the film are also very real, Put millions of dollars on your fingers.

Not to mention the jewelry, the flower decorations in the film are all changed into reality at the strong request of Julie Andrews, so there is another work of "cleaning up the dead flowers" during the shooting.

And these, even leasing, also need a lot of real dollars.

Once upon a time, Murphy had seen many new generation of "Marisol" films in line with the modern social situation, especially the successful series created by Disney. These successful films, without exception, triggered a worldwide trend.

Marisue wants to lead the world trend, so it's impossible to make this kind of movie without money.

For a long time, Murphy only had a general impression, but because of the cooperation with Warner Brothers at that time, he saw how Warner's HBO produced marisue's works in the 2008 release of the film "sex and the city".

The film has been in preparation since 2004. In order to achieve realistic effect, the crew brought more than 300 pieces of precious jewelry from h-stern jewelry company. Even a large bunch of wreaths in the film were bought for 50000 dollars, not to mention the wedding dress designed by Vivian Westwood and the bridesmaid dress of the heroine were all masterpieces of designer Zack parson.

When the costumes and props are authentic, the heroine Sarah Jessica Parker once wanted to take one of the red belts as her own, but because of its high value, the costume designers of the crew had to take it back.

In recent years, the successful marisu movies have proved that in order to produce high-quality marisu movies, it is necessary to make the dreams more realistic. If you can balance the effects with money, you will not be stingy. Don't think that only fantasy blockbusters need to use high-tech and capital. Marisu movies are not ambiguous at all. They can confuse people visually and make the audience indulge in this series It's hard to extricate oneself from the wind and snow.

On this basis, the best-selling books or TV series and other adaptations will become another insurance for the success of marisu films.

Therefore, no matter how El James urges, Murphy is always pushing forward according to the established plan. First, through marketing promotion, Murphy will make the novel popular on the Internet, and then enter the physical book market. As far as possible, Murphy will make Gray's fifty shadows a best-selling novel before adaptation, with a certain readership base.

At present, the electronic version of the novel sells quite well on Amazon, with an average of one sold every two seconds.Stanton studio also signed a contract with Bantam book publishing house to enter the physical book market.

Before that, Stanton studio had already authorized the copyright of the physical book "lost lover" directed by Murphy to Bantam publishing house in the form of 6 million US dollars of basic copyright plus royalty, which is also one of the many later income that the film can bring.

As a man, Murphy doesn't quite understand it, but he sums up some experience from the women around him. The best-selling marisue novels are like God's help. The strong mass base and the obsession of young and middle-aged women of different ages to "marisue" all determine its film market potential.

And in today's era, the box office of films for women is not too bad.

Finally, and most importantly, we must play the trick of heavy taste.

"Marisue" focuses on facial value and love drama, and it would be even better if appropriate "heavy taste" is added.

there is no doubt that how to show the super heavy mouthed plot in "Gray's fifty shadows" within the scope of R level is something that must be considered in the adaptation.

Murphy believes that "marisu + heavy taste" is almost the general direction of marisu's development in the film circle. It's obvious that the simple love between men and women is not dreamy enough, and it also needs some dark spices to complete. This determines that the film not only needs to choose high-quality actors, but also needs to spend money to produce good visual effects, so that the artistic taste of "marisu" can be improved.

As two practitioners of "heavy taste", Murphy remembers Gail gado's saying that the magic of "seeing the gods and killing the gods" keeps the romantic storm in women's minds.

In addition to creating a suitable script for the future, Murphy can take a few months to prepare and perfect the script.

Is it a trilogy or a film? He needs to think about that.

When Murphy arrived at the studio of Fox TV, his agent in public relations, grace, had been waiting in the studio. What he was going to do was Fox News's ace interview show real story, which was not live broadcast, but recorded first and then broadcast.

"The host of the show is Gretchen Carlson, a spiny woman."

Sitting in the dressing room, Murphy patiently listens to Grace's last advice. "But don't worry. The top management of Fox TV has already said hello to her, limiting the scope of asking questions. All the questions will be limited to your recent movies."

That's why Murphy and 20th century fox are preparing this talk show. They have to increase their exposure when the award season is about to begin.

But increasing the exposure is not just for any program. It's a good thing for well-known talk shows to say that Hollywood stars or directors who have reached a certain position will easily not take part in variety shows, especially those whose career is on the rise. If they take part in some out of tune variety shows, their style will be seriously reduced.

In the face of the award season, increase the exposure, especially when it appears on TV, the best is high-end talk show or interview program.

Murphy had just finished changing his suit when someone knocked on the door of the dressing room. After he said please come in, a blonde woman in a red deep V suit pushed the door and came in.

This woman has a smart face, but she seems to be very old. Even her heavy makeup can't cover the crow's feet. Murphy guesses that she will be at least 50 years old.

"Hello, director Stanton."

The woman came over to say hello and introduced herself, "I'm Gretchen Carlson, the host of the real story."

Murphy nodded and said with a smile, "Hello, nice to work with you."

"How are you doing?" Gretchen Carlson looked at Murphy askew. "We'll start recording in 15 minutes."

"No problem." Murphy shrugged. "I'm ready."

Grace has provided him with detailed information before. This woman named Gretchen Carlson is not only the host of the show, but also the producer. Before she changed her career into the hosting industry, she also won the "Miss America" award in 1989.

According to the information provided by grace, this woman seems to be a vase type host, but in fact it is not easy to deal with.

Murphy doesn't worry about this. Even without the care of fox in the 20th century, he won't have much trouble coping with reporters. After all, he has been in Hollywood for so many years and has experienced enough things.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly and the recording of the interview started on time. (to be continued). )
