In fact, last weekend, Murphy and Gail gado entertained David Robbie and Margot Robbie in the manor. They didn''t say something clearly, but they all knew that as long as Margot Robbie''s audition effect was ok, they would give priority to their own people. It''s not only Murphy, but Hollywood directors are basically doing it.
Murphy doesn''t care if Margot Robbie thanks in person. They have known each other for nearly ten years. She is Gail gado''s best friend and David Robbie''s sister.
That''s a joke.
But Gail gado seriously replied, "she''ll thank you face to face later. Now she''s going to the Death Star building. She said that after the audition, she''ll come to us. It''s not good."
"Bad influence?" Murphy raised her eyebrows. "Maggie still cares about that."
Gail gado shrugged. "She''s afraid it won''t affect you well."
Murphy shook his head. "How could I care?"
What''s wrong with using your own people? In Hollywood, the directors use their own people can be said to be justified, but also recognized as an unwritten rule in the circle.
After taking Murphy''s coffee cup and taking a sip, Gail gado turns to Murphy, opens his swivel chair and sits down. He says, "you''re a director. You don''t know how hard it is for an actor to survive."
"As if you understood?" Murphy rolled his eyes on purpose.
Gail gado didn''t play any other role except for a temporary cameo in body of steel.
Gayle gado ignored Murphy''s problems and went on to say, "a well-developed actor like Maggie is easily ostracized by other actors."
Murphy nodded her head, which was true.
Although Margot Robbie is not popular now, the role of Sansha also makes her name spread all over the world. Everyone knows why an actress like her can stand out as soon as she enters Hollywood. Most people in the circle know that she has a lot of team relationship with Murphy, and even the tabloids hype that she is a couple with Gail gado Homosexuals.
Murphy has also seen the news, tabloid gossip lace has never been afraid of fraud.
For example, even today, he and James Franco are gay, and Gail gado and Lily Collins are just their cover.
They said a few more words, and Gail gado stood up. "Carla asked warner for help. Let''s see what they mean to Maggie and the clown. It''s time for the result. I''ll call Carla."
"Well." Murphy waved his hand.
Since he offered huge rewards to Warner Bros. and DC Comics, they have basically cut off contact with him. It is said that Zach Schneider will continue to direct the future "justice alliance" series.
Thinking of just alliance, Murphy can''t help shaking his head. He still can''t change the direction of a super giant like Warner Bros.
He really doesn''t know what Warner Bros. executives think. The cards in his hand are much better than Marvel''s. Superman, Batman and wonder woman are the three giants. When it comes to the popularity of iron man, black widow and captain of the United States, the movies they make are totally different.
Because of body of steel, Murphy has been focusing on the DC superhero series, especially Batman vs Superman.
Relying on the super high box office brought by Superman and Batman''s appeal in the first weekend, the film has pushed the North American box office over 260 million US dollars, which seems to be a good result. However, after the first weekend, the North American box office of the film has only increased by more than 80 million US dollars, only half of the box office at the end of the first week, which seems to be quite embarrassing.
"Batman vs. Superman" is obviously lacking in stamina. Anyone can see it, but compared with the declining box office, its reputation has plummeted all the way.
The freshness of rotten tomatoes in "Batman vs. Superman" has dropped to 28%. The Metacritic score is 39. The audience''s score is basically the same, and the IMDB score is only 7.2. The audience''s reputation is very poor, and the media score is almost brutal.
As one of the most anticipated super blockbusters this year, the cast and behind the scenes production of this film can be regarded as the front line of Hollywood. Generally speaking, even if it is bad, it is not as bad as it is now.
This can be said to be a painful lesson, especially for Murphy, a director who focuses on commercial movies and does not make ordinary popcorn movies.
Now that there is nothing to be busy with, Murphy simply thinks about the mistakes made in this film, including this one and the one he used to make. It''s really worth alerting him and reminding him not to make such mistakes.
First of all, Murphy''s idea is adaptation. Any Hollywood director will deal with adaptation type films. Adaptation can''t be a simple copy of the original event or the original work.
In this respect, Batman vs. Superman is typical.In order to watch batchao, audiences need to read DC Comics such as death of Superman, return of the dark knight, coming of heaven, alliance of unrighteousness, Superman: the son of the red, alliance of Justice: the origin, and so on. However, the core of a $250 million blockbuster, which is shown in mainstream theaters, is a small one In the collective Carnival of the fans, it has to be said that batchao didn''t consider the acceptance of the ordinary audience from the beginning.
What''s more, Warner Bros. has made the mistake of rash advance no matter once or now, and the director not only doesn''t know how to adjust, but also makes rash advance more impatient.
Especially in the past, Warner Bros. and DC were in a hurry to launch the big movie Alliance for justice. Naturally, they had to fight with their enemy marvel to the end: aren''t you in the third stage? Has the civil war begun? OK, I''ll catch up with you with batchao. Our "League of unrighteousness" is also a cartoon of the heroic civil war. It''s all crammed into the script.
But in other words, marvel started from "Iron Man" in 2008. It took eight years and more than ten films to build a movie universe in two stages. DC wanted to use a "Batman super war" to open and close the customs. This ambition is no longer a fat man with one bite. It''s like a duck on the shelf.
As a result, there is such a fan movie with a full version of three hours, five comic plots or more, and no one of the six giants of justice alliance is absent. Such a complicated bedding drama needs to be inserted in the main film, and the one who holds the key is Zac Schneider, who is widely criticized in narrative. It is conceivable that the film will be scattered.
It''s not that Zac Schneider has a problem, but that Warner Bros. and Zac Schneider are not working together in the right way.
Zach Schneider has always been a controversial director, and also a rare stylized director on Hollywood production line. His personal style is mainly reflected in the level of sound and picture - high saturation of picture color, large sections of slow motion lyric, narrative montage, cartoon style split mirror composition are the director''s image labels.
In short, the director''s work is more like a violent aesthetic cartoon or a formal aesthetic MV, and the picture thinking is prior to the dramatic thinking, which leads to the fact that almost all of Zach Schneider''s works are academic tyrants in the form of postmodernism and academic dregs in the narrative of genre films.
Even Zach Schneider himself admits that he first made movies from the perspective of fans, so he also tried to use the aesthetics of comics in the movies.
In "Batman vs. Superman", Zac Schneider continues his unique image style. As soon as he reaches the lyric stage, Zac Schneider immediately opens up his firepower, slow motion, close-up, time and space conversion, and bombards repeatedly. Few people are forced to go high.
For example, at the beginning of the film, the unfortunate slow narration of Bruce Wayne''s family, the cross montage of media debate, the tragic and extraordinary Superman state funeral at the end of the film are all unforgettable.
But once there is no background music, no slow motion, no montage, no exquisite composition, no stacking narrative, no the above form elements of survival, Zach Schneider even the most basic positive and negative dialogue are powerless, plus with dreams, flashbacks, these things that are a little stream of consciousness to lay the groundwork for the drama, frequent space-time conversion seriously damaged The coherence of the plot directly leads to the excessive fluidity of time and space, irretrievably causes the imbalance of narrative rhythm and the fragmentation of the plot.
Another point is the most basic logic of the film. This is what Murphy has been emphasizing. Maybe it doesn''t matter in the eyes of some directors or editors.
The reason why Batman and Superman turned enemies into friends is really not convincing, which can not meet the basic standard of "unexpected, reasonable" in the movie conversion. Such a sudden and clumsy dramatic turn gives people the first feeling that Zach Schneider, who is watching the war, looks at his watch: "it''s time to fight boss, tell the master to stop it."
These are not the problems of Zach Schneider, but the mistakes of Warner''s decision-makers.
They had no choice but to play the narrative style instead of the narrative style.
Nowadays, manggai movies are not just a subculture for the minority to play with. As the audience''s taste becomes more and more tricky, in addition to having visual effects to support the scenes, they also try their best to break through the constraints of their own types and bring a unique entertainment experience.
In addition, Warner Brothers Limited the film PG-13, which greatly limited the play of Zach Schneider.
But then again, with an investment of 200 million dollars, no production company can make a director make a R-rated film
Thinking of this, Murphy shook his head. This is really a puzzle. Unless Warner Brothers make great efforts, there will be no fundamental change in DC comic hero movies.
Now DC series started very early, still making mistakes
In fact, the DC series started not too late. For example, Murphy thinks Batman: the moment of war is a good entry point. (to be continued). )
