Gail gado was dissatisfied with the questions asked by Murphy. Then he thought about the environment in which Murphy grew up, and then he was relieved.
She is very clear that in Murphy''s eyes, no matter what kind of people, white, Asian, African, Jewish and Latino, are the same people, and there is no difference. He will not give any special treatment to black actors and characters because of Hollywood''s so-called political correctness, nor will he treat Jews differently because of his suffering history Look.
At the beginning, she had some opinions on Murphy''s attitude, but with the increase of time, she found that Murphy didn''t discriminate against anyone, just treated everyone as ordinary people.
Gail gado is also very clear that perhaps it is because of his education that his boyfriend knows very little about western history.
For example, the following projects will involve an important period of history. The plot basically depends on thinking, which has nothing to do with the past history.
After thinking about it, Gail gado thinks it''s time to popularize what he knows about that period of history for Murphy.
"Here''s what happened," she said to Murphy seriously. "At first, people thought Poland would not lose the war; then, when the Germans came in, people thought they could continue to live; then, they passed laws forbidding Jews to sit on public benches or go to parks and other places; then, they said that Jews must wear the star of David Armbands; then they said that all Jews must be concentrated in one district; then they surrounded the district with walls, and there was not a critical moment, and there was not much possibility of reaction and organization... "
Gail gado shook his head and continued, "why didn''t the French resist immediately when the Germans came to France in 1940? The situation is the same. At every stage of this complicated situation, people will say, "this will pass, it will pass, and the situation will not get worse..." But it''s a big mistake. It''s worse, worse, worse! In the end, most people were killed. "
Hearing Gail gado''s words, Murphy gave a rare and serious thought, then nodded her head.
His understanding of Western history is very limited, but he is familiar with some historical events on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
"I''m sorry, dear." Murphy volunteered.
Gail gado came up and gave him a kiss on the face. "It''s OK. I know you didn''t mean it."
The two naturally changed the topic and discussed the preparation and shooting plan of "shameless bastard". In this project, Gail gado will act as Assistant Producer and continue his own learning path.
Murphy, however, talks about the history of the Jews from Gail gado, thinking about the film.
Of course, he is not interested in the Holocaust and other subjects. He just thinks that the way the Germans treat the Jews can be applied to the film. This kind of gradual feeling is also very important for a film. When this feeling accumulates to a certain level, the final outbreak will undoubtedly be more enjoyable.
In this film, after the foreshadowing of many small climaxes, the final climax is not only to kill Hitler, but also to whip his corpse, so that the audience can vent freely.
If you change to another role, you will undoubtedly take a great risk. But Hitler''s words are all right. Anti Nazi and anti Hitler are completely politically correct. They are 100 times more correct than the so-called black political correctness.
In the social and political public opinion environment constructed for decades, it''s stupid to clean up Adolf Hitler.
In recent years, Murphy has been further polishing the script of shameless bastard. Every director has his own ideas. Quentin Tarantino''s way of telling stories is definitely not suitable for him.
For example, in many transitional plots of the film, Quentin Tarantino likes to use a lot of dialogues that deviate from the theme of the film, while Murphy never likes to be wordy in the film, and will use every minute to create a breathless tense rhythm for the film as much as possible.
This is not to say that Quentin Tarantino''s shooting and production methods are not good, but that every director will have his own style. Every famous director will form his own style, even Steven Spielberg, who is recognized as the most model of shooting and production, is no exception.
In the completed script, Murphy does not use the usual Hollywood moves to create a tense atmosphere, but considering the physiological reaction of the audience, he will try some small routines appropriately.
For example, to create a tense atmosphere in a script is to exert pressure on the audience of the film, and the only thing that can make the audience suffer from both psychological and physical suffering is time. Here, Murphy needs some strategies to determine the duration of the whole scene and how to show the tense rhythm freely in the whole scene.
In other words, in film shooting, we should skillfully grasp the drama, atmosphere and rhythm tension, with a certain degree of relaxation. It is difficult for the audience to predict which second there will be climax.
There are also scenes that reflect characters or other backgrounds.People who have seen Quentin Tarantino''s films will certainly have an impression on this aspect. When the plot of the film needs to explain the background of a person or an important prop, the ruffian director often uses some simple and crude ways, the most typical of which is to insert a narration and the corresponding picture directly into the film.
But Murphy has never used this technique and does not intend to use it in the future.
Of course, this is only due to personal interests, no one can deny the reasonable use of this way.
In many cases, the background story is so complex that it will take too long if it is presented as a real scene.
Therefore, narration is often used in the first act to account for the background story, so that the audience can catch up with the progress of the story. Some writers do not like to use narration, and think it is a lazy way to tell a story.
This idea is usually right, because the use of narration on some illustrative pictures has almost become the standard mode of the first act of comedy, which is a rather formulaic opening.
Nevertheless, it is wrong to think that this writing method negates the value of the whole play. When this method is used correctly, narrating the background story with narration can not only guide the audience, but also make the audience enter the story in a lively and stylistic way.
The completed scripts, including the introduction of flammable and explosive film made of nitrocellulose, will be hidden in the story of the whole film by Murphy instead of being specially explained.
The background story reveals the important information of the character''s identity, and also provides the basic elements of the conflict in the story. How the director and the screenwriter express the background story in the film will determine the structure of the whole script to some extent.
Whether or not Murphy chooses to tell all the background stories in the first act, or weaves them in the process of story development, the relationship between a character''s background story and identity development should always be closely linked.
Most of the time, it is useful to keep some important background story information, which can make the disclosure of this small amount of information consistent with the development of the story or the self-development of the character.
In addition, Murphy will use the method of identity diffusion in the introduction of Hugo, a German officer who is a member of the bastard team.
The other side of the story and the action of Hugo''s character are not designed.
All these are due to the different styles and personal interests of Murphy and Quentin Tarantino.
Let him make a movie exactly the way Quentin Tarantino did, and Murphy is sure that his chances of failing are far higher than his chances of success.
In mid December, Murphy basically decided on the final draft of the script. Good news also came from 20th Century Fox and Weinstein film. The two companies will jointly invest up to $80 million in the project to make the film.
As the current project is completely dominated by Murphy, 20th Century Fox also occupies an absolute dominant position in the cooperation with Weinstein film. It will not only be the North American and overseas distributor of shameless bastard, but also get 51% of the investment share of the film.
In other cases, Weinstein pictures may give up the project, but the candidate Quentin Tarantino has found is Murphy. The Weinstein brothers clearly remember how terrible profits Murphy has created for them. Even if they are mainly operating in pursuit of Oscar, they can''t refuse the temptation of profits.
At the same time, Bill rosis also completed the negotiation with the two companies on behalf of Murphy. The great success of "body of steel" undoubtedly made Murphy stand firmly in the position of Hollywood first-line director. Moreover, compared with other first-line directors, the investment profit ratio of the films directed by Murphy is undoubtedly higher, and it does not cost too much effort. Bill rosis is the first-line director of Murphy Got the treatment that matches his current status and appeal.
This is still an advance payment plus revenue sharing contract.
According to the contract, Murphy will get an advance payment of $12 million three times. After "shameless bastard" is released from the North American and overseas markets, as long as the global box office can exceed three times the production cost of $80 million, he will automatically get 20% of the box office share. If the North American box office of the film can exceed $500 million, the share will rise to 10% Twenty five percent
Of course, in the 20th century, Fox and Weinstein relied on a successful director like Murphy, but they were not stupid. Murphy''s dividend did not involve the DVD and TV revenues of Hollywood companies.
However, Murphy has explained before that Bill rosis talked about 15% of the future pay on demand, download and rental income of "shameless bastard" as a dividend.
Perhaps this part of income is not particularly high at present, but the contract term is as high as 10 years, and the future potential is unlimited.
After that, Murphy began to build a production team. His shooting and production team was ready-made. As long as he issued a call order, he would consider actors most, especially SS captain Hans. (to be continued). )
