"Miss Mulligan..."
Inside the studio, the amiable looking hostess looked at the cue board opposite and said, "can I ask you some personal questions?"
Kerry Mulligan smiles brightly. "Of course."
The show was live in the evening, followed by Kerry Mulligan, the host, who said, "I've talked to some of your fans, especially your crazy male fans, who are very interested in your first love."
Kerry Mulligan did not say anything, but took a tacit approach.
Although some media have uploaded the story between her and Murphy, they were not well-known figures at that time, and their popularity was very limited. Moreover, as time went on, the gap between their fame and status became wider and wider, and few media cared about these past events.
This is the process determined before the live broadcast. The hostess directly asked, "when did your first love happen, at what age?"
"Sixteen." Kerry Mulligan replied, "to be precise, just 16."
The hostess then asked, "when you first entered Hollywood, I remember correctly, when you were 16 years old, you had already shot" fruit candy. "
The atmosphere between them is just like chatting, which is also the feature of this program.
"It happened after the shooting of" fruit candy. " Kerry Mulligan looked very relaxed. "At that time, I was very rebellious. My parents opposed me to become an actor. I fell out with my parents. Then someone helped me realize my dream of being an actor. He looked very talented and amazing. He always appeared when I needed him most, so..."
She shrugged, and the hostess answered and said, "so, you fell in love with him?"
"Well." Kerry Mulligan nodded slightly. On the face of the actor, he showed some nostalgia and intoxication. "He fell in love with him crazily, regardless of the opposition of his parents, family and friends."
"Love first?" The hostess is good at setting off the atmosphere.
"Yes." Kerry Mulligan laughs. "Love is everything. I think he's the best one in the world."
In fact, all this is to create atmosphere and arouse the interest of the audience.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the hostess asked, "can you know who is the lucky one who got your first love?"
Kerry Mulligan was silent and didn't seem to want to say it.
As if I had never heard of Murphy and Kerry Mulligan's original rumors, the hostess asked, "since I met you when I was making the film, is that a Hollywood insider?"
After a moment of silence, Kerry Mulligan nodded slowly.
"Don't say it yet..."
These are not established procedures at all. When the hostess saw that Kerry Mulligan was fighting for the dominant position, she immediately improvised, "let me guess."
She asked, "is that man still in Hollywood?"
Kerry Mulligan nodded.
"Is it an actor?"
Kerry Mulligan shook his head.
"Working behind the scenes?" Seeing Kerry Mulligan nodding again, the hostess deliberately widened her eyes and asked in an incredible voice, "isn't it Murphy Stanton?"
Kerry Mulligan first gave a shy smile, then said, "well, it's Murphy."
"Wow The hostess seems to have heard some amazing gossip, exaggerating the big mouth, "your first love is Murphy Stanton? Now the Hollywood super director Murphy Stanton
"Well." Kerry Mulligan nodded again.
"It's unbelievable!" Hostess exaggerated Leng for a while, just said, "you are because of shooting" fruit hard candy "fall in love?"
"So to speak." Kerry Mulligan looked like a lady and said slowly, "at that time, we might have a good feeling because we were working together all day, but I didn't fall in love before, and Murphy didn't have this experience. We didn't confirm the relationship until a long time later..."
"Wait!" The hostess interrupts Kerry Mulligan to get to the point, "Murphy has no experience? So you're Murphy Stanton's first love, too? "
Kerry Mulligan nodded again. "Yes, we are each other's first love."
"First love The hostess lowered her voice slightly and asked mysteriously, "is this your first time?"
"Murphy, I don't know." Kerry Mulligan hesitated and said, "I'm the first time."
The hostess has the spirit of gossip, "with the big director, do you have any special feelings, can you tell me?"
Kerry Mulligan said slowly, "I was very young and immature at that time..."
In order to get publicity and attention, both this program and Kerry Mulligan himself have gone all out.
Meanwhile, Murphy, who came to New York for publicity, sat in the deluxe suite of Waldorf Hotel, picked up the TV remote control and pressed the power off button. Kerry Mulligan on the LCD screen and the hostess of ABC TV station disappeared, and the room was quiet again.He turned on the TV only after receiving a call from James Franco. After watching it for a while, he knew what the purpose of the program was. On the one hand, Leonardo DiCaprio promoted the Great Gatsby; on the other hand, Kerry Mulligan used his current fame to make self hype.
Knowing what's going on, Murphy doesn't have to look at it any more. As for Kerry Mulligan's hype, as long as it's not too much, she likes it. After all, everything has been done. Can't the other side say something?
Murphy is not that overbearing.
Besides, it's the usual way in Hollywood to hype with celebrities' predecessors.
For example, when Nicole Kidman is being interviewed now, she will inevitably talk about Tom Cruise. What did she say about the past and the soup? Why? I really miss Tom Cruise's ex husband. It's not in the declining situation that I borrow his great reputation to win the attention of the media and the audience.
And Jennifer Aniston, who divorced Brad Pitt calmly at that time, gradually turned into a pragmatist after the Hollywood film industry was hard to open up. Although she didn't mention Tom Cruise as frequently as Nicole Kidman, she talked about Brad Pitt four or five times in ten interviews, which was also for the sake of publicity.
In fact, for so many years, Kerry Mulligan has been silent about the past, and Murphy is also surprised. After all, this is Hollywood. Now Kerry Mulligan finally realizes that she can borrow these words, which shows that she is realistic, mature, and no longer the self willed little girl
Thinking of this, Murphy shook his head. Let bygones be bygones. Everyone has to move forward.
What's more, for ex girlfriends, let alone Hollywood stars, there are few people in this country who can find them?
Throw away the TV remote control, stand up from the sofa and stretch. Murphy goes into the study. Compared with other people's publicity, he is better concerned about his work. Tomorrow, he will participate in the NBC live broadcast of "Today Show" to build momentum for the second weekend of "dark city". He wants to see the specific process.
Participating in "today's show" is the result of careful selection by Fox and Stanton studios in the 20th century. It is the program with the highest audience rating in North America in the morning, and its dominant position in the morning is almost impossible to be broken by other TV networks.
Early the next morning, Murphy led the crew to the studio of NBC's New York branch. This time, the candidates for the show were mainly from behind the scenes teams, mainly Philip Raschel and deputy director Michelle Williams.
Because the program is not only an interview with the crew of "dark city", but also others, Murphy waited for some time before entering the live room under the leadership of the staff.
The interview with host Matt Raul is not too surprising. It mainly discusses the post production of the film, especially the use of IMAX technology, which has been praised by fans and media.
"The city of darkness is an ambitious story. I need a grand and grand dimension to express it. Therefore, IMAX format is my best and even the only choice. "
Now this is a hot topic, and Murphy is willing to say more, "IMAX's negative area is 10 times of the general 35mm film area, and it carries far more visual information than 35mm film, and this scale of film makes the image extremely sharp and bright, and also more majestic."
He looked at the camera and said seriously, "big screen can bring curiosity and tremor, so I need the biggest screen."
Later, Matt Raul asked Philip Raschel.
"Because of the unimaginable screen size, the audience will ignore the photography of the film, but they should be able to feel it. Excellent photography is the foundation of the picture.".
"Murphy used a lot of long shots and sharp editing methods to make the audience pay attention to the details on IMAX - a subversion of action film editing. If you want to shoot movies in IMAX format, it's just difficult to prepare and use the equipment. An IMAX camera weighs 135 pounds, and its huge volume makes it difficult for the camera to move. "
As the first deputy director of the film, Michelle Williams is also the focus of the program. He said, "only one laboratory in the world has produced IMAX recording and playing equipment. Moreover, each disc of IMAX can only be shot for three minutes, which can't be fully shot, and there is also plenty left. The feeling of changing the film every three minutes is like shooting a super 8 format film when I was a child, and every time I change the film, it takes a week to do post-processing... "
In short, as before, Murphy and others are telling how difficult it is to shoot with IMAX and how amazing the effect is after shooting.
If a film wants to maintain a stable trend, it needs not only word-of-mouth, but also continuous publicity.
The second weekend after the release of "dark city", it met the challenge of "the Great Gatsby".
