Chapter 615

Compared with the works of recent years, "Diego Ross" is one of the smallest films that Murphy has ever made. Due to the type of film and the nature of the award season, fox used the typical mode of small crowd screening in the 20th century. In the first week, this film will only be screened in two cinemas in New York and three cinemas in Los Angeles.

The film will be screened on a small scale. Of course, there won't be a huge premiere, but a special show involving media reporters and film critics is essential.

On the afternoon of December 26, Murphy arrived at the art people's Congress theater in Nokia square. Unlike the completely commercialized Hollywood China Grand Theater, this is a theater dedicated to showing art films, which is also called "art theater line". Many small productions that have impacted the award season in the past have been shown here.

When Murphy came, Robert Downey, Jr., Margaret Robbie and Carla Firth had arrived, and were chatting with Bill rosis and grace in the front hall of the cinema.

There is still some time to go before the opening of the film, and there is no premiere, so the guests invited to this special screening will not come very early.

"And Gail?" Margot Robbie came up and asked, "why didn't you come?"

Murphy nodded to a group of her friends and partners, and then replied, "she's going to negotiate with Nafi."

Now Stanton studio has come up with a script outline and a general shooting plan, and has recruited a screenwriter team to formally write the script. Nafi has also quickened its pace. The negotiation between the two sides has reached the final stage, and a formal cooperation agreement will certainly be signed before Christmas.

Robert Downey, Jr. came up. "Unfortunately, rose can't see the film."

"I went to see him the other day." Murphy whispered, "I've already told him about the movie. I'll ask someone to find a way to get him an mp4 or something."

He originally made this movie for Ross. If Ross can't see it himself, he will lose the most significance. Although it's difficult to bring something to Ross, now the supervision is relatively relaxed. As long as he is willing to spend money, it's not impossible.

"Murphy..." Carla Firth also came to Murphy. "The review committee has approved that it will spend no less than eight million dollars on the prize of this film."

She opened her hand and said, "that's the limit I can get."

"Thank you, Carla." Murphy patted Carla Firth on the arm. "Thank you for your support..."

If the film does not have the support of a strong company, it will be more difficult to make a difference in the award season.

Carla Firth shook her head. "Do we still have to talk about this?"

Murphy said with a smile, "if this film can't recover the cost, I promise that I will help 20th century fox to earn twice the loss in the future."

"You..." Carla Firth knew Murphy was joking.

In the 20th century, fox has made huge profits from the cooperation with Stanton studio. For those films with small input and high output, even though the total investment of $300 million in "city of chaos" does not seem to have recovered from the box office, after this period of later operation, the surrounding TV broadcasting and network on demand have become very popular because of the fermentation of word-of-mouth effect, In the 20th century, fox not only successfully recovered its capital, but also realized a profit of more than 40 million US dollars.

And with the passage of time, the film will generate more and more profits. More profits also means that more people have watched the film, the audience base of the second film will be stronger, and the possibility of box office explosion will be greater.

It's not hard for the discerning to see this.

Of course, Murphy's dividend is also frighteningly high, which is 25% of his total income

This guy must be very rich.

Carla Firth began to think about the day when she abducted Gail gado to go on holiday. She didn't want the right things. As long as they were expensive, she would let Murphy pay for them.

After chatting with the crowd, Murphy sees her PR agent grace and beckons her over.

"Look at it for me." He whispered, "where is the private jet show in California recently?"

Grace nodded immediately. "Well, I'll have someone check it and get back to you this afternoon."

Margot Robbie, standing next to Murphy, heard them and asked curiously, "are you going to buy a plane?"

"Well." Murphy turned to her and said, "I'm going to buy a private plane."

Recently this month, Gail gado has been negotiating and flying around. It's very inconvenient for him to take a flight. He's going to buy a business plane, which is also convenient for his travel.

Margot - Robby came to interest, "buy a Boeing 747, it can be converted into a flying palace."

Of course, Murphy would not listen to this kind of unreliable advice and said to her, "you'd better pay more attention to when you can get the Oscar nomination."

"Oscar nominations?" Margot Robbie held his face in one hand. "It's hard for a blonde like me to win a prize."At the gate of the theater, some media reporters came in. Murphy didn't plan to continue to talk about this topic with Margot Robbie, and casually dropped a sentence, "ugly, disabled, mental problems..."

"Hello, Murphy." Margot Robbie thought that Murphy was teasing himself and raised his voice slightly, but Murphy ignored him and went straight to bill rosis.

Margot Robbie looked at Murphy's back and quickly closed her mouth, because she found that it was a hint from Murphy.

As a blonde, she knows that she can't eat enough in Hollywood by her face. If she doesn't have the relationship between Murphy and David Robbie, who knows where she is now? Maybe still running around for a small role.

Then, Margot Robbie thinks of Charlize Theron, who worked with Murphy, a South African woman who can be regarded as a model for all beautiful actresses like herself.

Charlize Theron's successful transformation is definitely an example for Hollywood vase actresses. It's the only way for the idols to turn to the powerful ones to put beauty in their hearts, or simply act ugly and torture themselves and the audience.

Although the way is slightly patterned, beauty is like a test of acting interference information, I believe that few people can be completely distracted and focus on the so-called inner.

Hollywood is also happy to pay for their sacrifice, with awards from major film festivals.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, is it not discrimination to emphasize the inner and ignore the appearance?

Margot Robbie shakes his head and doesn't think so much about it. Together with the rest of the crew, he entertains the guests who come to the screening.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the theater of the National People's Congress of literature and art was full, and the screening of "Diego rose" started on time.

"As a director, it's taboo to shoot biographical films about people who are closely related to you!"

Sitting in the third row, Hollywood Reporter columnist Todd McCarthy told his old friend Kenneth Turan, "Murphy Stanton has always been a smart man. Why did he make such an unwise choice?"

"Go to the movies first." Kenneth Turan points to the big screen, which lights up. "After the movie, let's talk about something else."

Todd McCarthy's eyes also turned to the big screen, "OK, let's go to the movies first."

They are not the only ones, but they are surrounded by many critics from other media and have Internet columns, but they are much younger than them.

Everyone is looking at the big screen. Although the investment in this film is not high, and there are not many promotional activities, there are many controversies and concerns. The biographical film that Murphy Stanton made for his drug dealer friend

If Murphy Stanton sings praises for his friends, they have something to say.

In the 20th century, the titles of Fox and Stanton studios flashed quickly, and there was an obvious overhead shot on the screen. At the beginning, the shot was a colorful panoramic view of Los Angeles City. As the camera became tighter and tighter, the color of the picture became lighter and darker, and eventually became black and white.

Against the backdrop of black-and-white lens, the old, dilapidated and chaotic slums of Los Angeles flash across the big screen. They don't look like the United States, but more like Africa

Todd McCarthy murmured, "the use and transformation of lens and color are just natural."

"Reveal the worst side of America..."

Apart from the technical factors, the content of this shot just scratched the itch of an old man like Kenneth Turan. He is a real Los Angeles man. Wasn't the city of angels like this? He nodded, "a real artist should have the courage to uncover the superficial flashiness and show the inner abscess!"

Murphy Stanton is undoubtedly a very brave filmmaker!

Compared with these old men, several young film critics around them are nodding, especially cross Ismail, who owns online columns and is very influential on social networking sites.

"How is America?"

If someone asked him this question in ten years, he would answer: America is the paradise of the world!

But when he grew up, he found that there was too much injustice, too much darkness, too much corruption, too much disgusting things in this country.

As a result, as a net generation of his thoughts gradually changed, his country is really bad enough!

After becoming a film critic, cross Ismail is famous for his acrimony. Those American films that save the world are always satirized by him!

If the world needs America to save it? Who will save the rotten America?

Upholding this concept, when he saw the most shameful side of Los Angeles, which is famous for its flashiness, at the beginning of a film, it was revealed by the director without reservation, and his mood was aroused instantly.

The black-and-white picture is getting closer and closer. People gradually appear in the camera. The sound of gunfire suddenly rings. A Latino falls in response to the sound. With the blood splashing, the picture returns to color in the blood red. (to be continued). )
