"The director is confirmed?" Murphy looked at it for a while, then asked, "is there a script?"
"The director has basically decided that it should be Ridley Scott," said Carla Firth, who went back to her desk and rummaged for a while. She came up with a play and handed it to Murphy. "It''s the first version of the play. It hasn''t been finalized yet."
She sat down, raised her eyebrows and asked, "what? Are you interested in this project? "
"It''s not your project, is it?" Murphy is not polite either. He opens the script and looks through it. Many of the clips are basically similar to those in his impression.
"How did this kind of project fall on me?" Carla Firth shook her head. "It''s a project driven by department director Dave Scola."
Murphy flipped through the script and gave it back to Carla Firth, "a little blacksmith''s Crusade..."
"Do you think there is something wrong with this project?" Carla Firth knows Murphy.
"No one knows if there''s a problem," Murphy said, shaking his head. "But don''t you think there are too many big epic films that Hollywood has followed since the success of gladiator and the Lord of the rings? Every time Hollywood follows suit, there will always be a lot of bad luck. "
"It''s like That''s true. " Carla Firth thought, "as far as I know, the epic films invested in 150 million dollars include Alexander the great, Troy, King Arthur, and this project, and they are all concentrated in one or two years..."
"It''s easy to cause aesthetic fatigue?" Bill rosis took over.
"No one can say for sure," Murphy said, "but judging from Hollywood''s past, it''s very likely."
When he saw the information just now, he came up with an idea, otherwise he would not ask Carla Firth. Then he said, "I heard that Dave Scola is a person who likes to interfere in his own leading projects very much?"
Carla Firth nodded. "Yes, he''s very strong."
"Even if the director is Radley Scott, surely he won''t give the final editing right?" Seeing that Carla Firth nodded again, Murphy raised her chin and said, "Carla, it''s not hard for you to instigate Dave Scola to intervene in this group without any trace, is it? As you know, Ridley Scott''s level is unstable. He always succeeds, one is bad, and if someone intervenes... "
"That''s what I think," said Carla Firth, laughing, and sure enough, Murphy, who had the most tacit understanding with herself. "Otherwise, why do I look for these materials?"
After hearing these words, Bill rosis looked at Murphy and then at Carla Firth. These two people are just like birds of a feather. Carla Firth, in particular, completely ignored the interests of fox in the 20th century and even used a large investment project to seek personal interests for himself.
But he didn''t say anything. Anyone who wants to go higher has to face fierce competition. In commercial companies, this kind of legal competition is too common.
"Bill," Murphy said suddenly, "remember Mike?"
"Well?" Bill rosis was a little puzzled. He didn''t know what Murphy was doing. "It''s about Mike?"
"The project is not ready yet." Murphy said flatly, "you can find a way to pull him in."
Carla Firth looks at Murphy. "Is this Mike in conflict with you?"
"He''s looking for a private detective to investigate me," Murphy said vaguely. "It''s the news I gave you at the beginning, and it may be the driving force behind the director''s Union''s investigation of sin city last time. But we have no evidence. We can''t do anything about him for the time being. "
"Want to investigate us?" Carla Firth put on a sneer. "He''s too naive."
There are too many things that can''t be seen in the media industry. There are only a few more than Hollywood, but few of them have been exposed. All companies have a tacit understanding in this respect, and they will guarantee their own secrets and the rights of news producers. Otherwise, the work of this industry can''t be carried out at all.
"You mean, drag him into this project," bill rosis gradually understood, "and then, we''ll try to drag this project down?"
"Not us." Murphy raised a finger and shook it gently. "It''s Dave Scola."
He believed that Carla Firth had such ability and means, and also knew that she did things by all means to achieve her goal.
After another discussion, the topic returned to the right track.
"I was mercilessly rejected by DC Comics and Warner Brothers," Murphy and Carla Firth said without politeness, "so I can only come back to you."
"Or marvel? What character do you like? " Carla Firth is also very direct, "X-Men? Or the magic four
"X-Men!" Murphy stopped talking and said, "didn''t I tell you that? X-Men can completely split the shooting. "
"You want to film Wolverine? Or magneto? Or Professor X''s movie Bill rosis doesn''t know which superhero Murphy is after.Murphy shook his head. "It''s not that. Dave Scola can''t let Carla get the first-line roles. What I want is Wade Wilson, death waiter
Carla Firth thought about it before remembering the character, "that nag?"
"Yes, the chatter and otherness in the X-Men," Murphy asked Carla Firth. "He''s only a second-line character in the X-Men now. Can you win the movie rights?"
Bill rosis looks at Murphy. It''s not a whim, and there''s no interference.
Hearing Murphy''s question, Kara Firth didn''t answer. After pondering for a long time, she nodded, "I''ll take care of the copyright!"
Now, unlike in the past, she used to persuade Murphy to stay in the news industry, but after four films, she has enough confidence in his talent and ability in film.
Their cooperation in the news industry has caused turmoil in the Greater Los Angeles area. Carla Firth believes that they can also succeed in the film industry.
However, if you want to win the copyright, you can''t just rely on one mouth. Carla Firth added, "you always have to give me a script, a plan, to convince the people on it."
Murphy nodded and said, "give me ten days."
Agreed on the most important thing, Murphy left fox building and asked Bill rosis to send him back to Stanton studio in Santa Monica to prepare the scripts and plans that Kara Firth needed.
Since it was founded for a short time, the popularity of death attendants can''t be compared with that of ten years later. However, among Marvel''s superheroes, they are absolutely unique.
His ability is appalling because he is different from other heroes in two ways.
First of all, he is a very, very talkative character. If you read the comics of the dead waiter series, you will have the illusion that you are not reading a comic book at all, but reading a pure text novel. Moreover, what you say is a lot of things that are not right and messy.
This is because in the setting of death attendants, they are very fond of bullshit. Relying on their ability to die, they talk nonsense all day, which makes many heroes stay away from him. Their poisonous tongue skills can be seen.
Another difference is that he knows that he is in the comic world, so he is in a state of "everyone is drunk, I wake up alone".
In addition, the death attendant himself likes to enjoy, so he likes money very much. He always talks about "just give money". With this goal in mind, he also becomes "good and evil". He works for who gives more. In fact, in his series, he saves human beings many times, but many decent heroes are unwilling to admit it, and the death attendant himself doesn''t care about it So his reputation stinks in the whole hero world, but it doesn''t affect his foolishness.
If you make a movie, the most important of all the abilities is actually the mouth gun.
Therefore, it is very important to find an actor with a mouth gun type to act as the leading role of the dead man. If the two complement each other, it will greatly increase the charm of the role and the film.
In fact, now is not the best time to make this movie. Once this alternative superhero movie was able to catch fire, which has something to do with the aesthetic fatigue caused by many routine superhero movies. When the audience is tired of the successive superheroes with "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", a superhero with "the greater the ability, the more irresponsible" It can bring them a different kind of visual stimulation.
Today, the only amazing superhero movies that are really on fire are "X-Men" and "Spider Man". It''s not the era when Marvel heroes are flying all over the screen. Murphy knows very well that the completion of this movie will definitely be affected.
From the success of spider man, we can also see that the mainstream aesthetic of the current market, Peter Parker himself is also a mouth gun, with dead attendants juxtaposed with Marvel comic two big mouth guns and unreliable, but spider man film in the market demand, has become a "hate big bitter deep" type, but also "the greater the ability, the more irresponsible" concept widely spread out.
However, after several years of struggling in Hollywood, Murphy knows very well that films with black style, full of humor and large-scale pictures, such as "the dead waiter", have never lacked audiences in North America. Perhaps because of the time and environment, the film will not be as popular as it used to be. However, as long as the production quality and publicity distribution are guaranteed, there are not too many problems with big sales.
Moreover, such a film does not need much investment, and the pressure of cost recovery and profit is relatively small.
After the setback of marvel and DC Comics, Murphy wants to enter the mainstream film industry, and has no choice.
In order for Carla Firth to win the right of adaptation, he must have a good enough script and plan. In the following time, Murphy spent almost all of his energy on it except talking to Gail gado on the phone once a day.
The script he wants is different from the typical movie script. The latter is based on the story, but the former is based on the role! (to be continued). )
