Due to the need to complete the editing of "shameless bastard" in his own style and form, rather than presenting it in a typical Quentin Tarantino style chapter style, in the final process of fine cutting, Murphy was quite strict, and any dissatisfaction in the lens was redone, resulting in a long delay in the whole post production.
Fortunately, he has plenty of time to polish carefully to minimize the defects.
Until the end of July, when the post production of "shameless bastard" came to an end, Murphy could spare no effort to cooperate with the publicity and marketing of 20th century fox.
Murphy began to work closely with Fox''s media to release publicity materials in a planned way.
"Recently, James Franco''s appearance in Murphy Stanton''s new film" shameless asshole "has been exposed. This fixed makeup photo shows that he plays a character nicknamed" asshole "in the film, Lieutenant Aldo Reiner. From the exposure photos, we can see not only the overall shape of James Franco, but also the obvious scar on his neck
The report from Fox TV station focused on the promotion of the film.
"It is reported that the story of the film takes place during World War II. A group of American soldiers who committed crimes were supposed to be sentenced to death, but they were allowed to commit crimes and perform meritorious deeds in extraordinary times. James Franco plays a leading role in this group of soldiers. He leads this group of soldiers into Nazi occupied France to carry out a dangerous task - killing Nazi members by cruel means, so as to create a panic atmosphere in the Third Reich. "
With this as the start, the pre screening publicity of "shameless bastard" has entered an intensive stage, and all kinds of materials are continuously transmitted from Murphy and the crew to the major media platforms.
After the exposure of the model drawing, James Franco lost his low profile and appeared frequently in public with lily Collins. This combination of golden boy and girl attracted enough attention and became the focus of many gossip media.
It''s also good for the marketing of shameless asshole. At the same time, James Franco and Lily Collins, with the cooperation of 20th Century Fox and the agency CAA, put on a big play, which created the biggest gossip scandal in Hollywood at the end of July and the beginning of August.
The two of them are also willing to cooperate. In fact, it''s not difficult to find that this pair can''t be measured by the normal way of thinking.
How can a paedophile and a girl who is willing to fall in love with paedophilia be measured by ordinary people''s standards?
In the first stage of the pre screening publicity of "shameless bastards", James Franco is the core of the publicity. Although Frankie is not as popular as Robert Downey Jr. after "Iron Man", it is not too much to say that he is in the front position of the second tier star.
Such actors naturally have a certain popularity and appeal.
However, the publicity and marketing work of any film can not be carried out around one person. If the time is too long, it is easy to turn into cold food, and the publicity work of the crew is also pushing forward one by one.
In mid August, Murphy asked the crew to release three warning posters, showing a strong style of violence. There were no characters on the posters, only close-up pictures of blood stained sticks, rifles, daggers and other weapons. The pictures were full of killing and full of visual impact.
"These three posters are typical of Murphy Stanton''s dark style, and the evil classic style of shameless bastard has finally come into being."
The comments in the media and on the Internet also hit the nail on the head.
With this popularity, fox released the first trailer of "shameless bastards" in the 20th century. The trailer is only one minute and forty seconds long. In order to match the previous publicity plan, this trailer is basically a personal show of James Franco, and most of the scenes are a lecture from lieutenant Aldo Reiner, who plays him, to the bastard team.
Of course, on the Internet version, there are also bloody and violent scenes, which show the fans that the bloodthirsty Murphy is back. Love, go, talk 】
from the original "fruit candy" to the later "dead man", then to "game of power" and "lost lover", all of these films directed by Murphy have almost crazy scenes of violence and blood. Only "body of steel" converges because of its classification, but it also turns blood into violence, which makes Superman and wonder woman to be destroyed There is a super demolition war against Japan.
"Body of steel" is also Murphy''s only PG-13 rated film. The release of the Online Trailer of "shameless bastard" will undoubtedly announce to the fans of cut film that Murphy has returned to the ranks of R-rated films.
These are the conventional ways of publicity. In today''s era, Hollywood''s publicity has become more and more diversified.
In mid August, some large media in North America reported that "Murphy Stanton''s new film shameless bastard was boycotted before it was released because it was too violent and bloody."
In the 20th century, fox''s water army deliberately released a short script on the Internet, and instigated a protest overseas, which attracted the attention of quite a number of movie fans all over the world.The media in North America, especially those controlled by Fox and News Corporation, are widely hyping and reporting the protest.
"The script of Murphy Stanton''s new film" shameless bastard ", which is scheduled to be released in the second half of this year, has recently leaked. James Franco, the leader of the Jewish bastard soldier Rangers, is very cruel, and a family organization from Australia is trying to boycott the release of the film in the country."
"Judging from the leaked script and the released trailer, Murphy Stanton continued his black, violent and bloody style in" shameless bastard ". Lieutenant Aldo Reiner, the" bastard leader "played by James Franco, organized a small team of Jewish Soldiers to sneak into Nazi occupied France and assassinate the Nazis. At this time, France was active A lot of people who were persecuted by the Nazis. "
"The distributor of the film also released three posters. There were no characters in the posters, only blood dripping daggers, bats and rifles, full of vicious killing."
"However, there is a more murderous script on the Internet. There is a scene where Lieutenant Aldo Reiner, played by James Franco, stands on a huge stone and tells Jewish Soldiers to be cruel to the Germans and let them know who we are. Each of you owes me 100 Nazi scalp. Now, I''m going to take my scalp. There is also a plot in which a soldier played by ley Roth blows a Nazi''s head with a bat. The scene can only be described as brain splashing. The bloody scenes of submachine gun shooting at close range are also frequently shown in the trailer.... "
"According to Fox News in the 20th century," shameless bastard "is expected to be shown for the first time in the world at the Toronto Film Festival in September. The film will be released from the traditional Thanksgiving to Christmas season in North America, and the release date in Australia is also December."
"The Victorian Family Council from Australia has publicly said that James Franco is a young people''s behavior idol. Such a bloody and violent role would be a bad example. Some Jewish organizations are also worried that the film is too violent and think that this new film of Murphy Stanton does not reflect the facts."
"But Murphy Stanton himself said in an interview with Empire magazine that the actions of these" bastards "are similar to those of the heroic and warlike North American Apache people. Even if the defeat is decided, they will still fight to the last moment. They are bastards, and even more soldiers!"
To meet the needs of publicity, Murphy also made a special response to the protest and gave an interview to the premiere.
"Should Movies be responsible for social violence? I think it''s a very broad topic, which I can''t answer completely as a director. "
With the attitude of not surprising, Murphy first threw out a gimmick, and then said, "we now have perfect legal protection, and the rating system can prevent minors from entering the cinema showing" shameless bastards. "
He then threw out a big news: "shameless bastard" tells about a group of American Jewish soldiers who committed crimes and were originally to be sentenced to death, but in extraordinary times they were allowed to commit crimes and make contributions, go deep into Nazi occupied France, and engage in sabotage. However, there may be a little misunderstanding here that needs to be clarified. The story is actually centered on soxana, played by Australian actress Margaret Robbie
The next step for Murphy is to attract the media''s attention to help her.
Today''s Margot Robbie is not an unknown actress. She has been playing the important role of Sansha stark in the "game of Thrones". This series has always maintained a high popularity, and the main actors have received no less attention than before.
In particular, Margot Robbie is younger and more beautiful than the once stout Sansha. He is also more intelligent and naturally more popular.
Especially in the third season of May, the nearly crazy "bloody wedding" shocked countless audiences and media. It got a super high score of 9 points on a number of scoring websites, and was even praised by some media as the highest scoring episode in the history of human TV series, which directly pushed "game of power" to a peak.
The actors also benefited a lot.
If you want to arouse people''s appetite, you must not throw enough bait at once, you must add it again and again.
"Miss Robbie''s sosana is the key role." Murphy constantly throws out new topics, "she is not only an ordinary female character, but also a crazy Nazi killing asshole."
After the post production of "shameless bastard" was completed, Murphy, like other well-known members of the crew, began to make high-profile appearances in various activities and attended the Saturn Award ceremony this month.
He was not accompanied by Gail gado, but by Robert Downey Jr.
"I''m the prize winner." The reason for Robert Downey Jr.''s presence is simple: "Michael Douglas is also a prize winner." (to be continued). ）For mobile phone users, please browse and read for better reading experience.
