In the period before Christmas 2010, Murphy is concentrating on shooting his own films. According to the news from Gail gado, Jonah hill, Seth Logan and James Franco are jumping up and down in Hollywood, trying to expand their network, making full use of the fame and appeal of Stanton followers, and attracting some big stars to film as much as possible A guest star in China.


    These stars appear in the form of soy sauce, which may not bring much box office appeal, but can significantly increase the topic of the film.


    As long as there are enough topics, publicity and marketing will become much simpler.


    A week before Christmas, when Murphy talked to Seth Logan on the phone, he made it clear to Murphy that several well-known stars had made it clear that they would join the guest cast.


    Among them, Emma Watson is the most famous actor; Rihanna, who has a lot to do with Seth Logan, will also take part in the shooting.


    This film is independently invested by Stanton studio. Although the amount of investment is small, Murphy is very concerned about it, because if such a film works well, it will surely make a lot of profits. If it doesn''t work well, it will become a complete bad film.


    No one wants to make their own investment into a bad film, Murphy is no exception.


    Therefore, during the Christmas holiday, he specially called several creators of the film to wave manor, which is not only a gathering of Stanton party members, but also a chance to learn about the latest developments of the project.


    On Christmas day, James Franco and Lily Collins, Seth Logan and Jonah hill, Robert Downey and Susan Downey, Margot Robbie and Carla Firth, together with several agents headed by bill rosis, came to wave manor to attend Gail gado''s Christmas party.


    "Our wedding?"


    Facing Gail gado''s inquiry, James Franco said with a helpless smile, "it can only be postponed until next year."


    Susan Downey asked with concern, "why?"


    Lily Collins explained, "James is going to work with Seth and them on this project, so we decided to put off the wedding until next year."


    The main topic of the party was the new project. Gail gado took the girls to the entertainment room, and the rest of the men talked about the end of the world.


    Several people were sitting around a big round table in the banquet hall. Murphy, as the host, poured a cup of tea for each of them and said, "try it. This is the top Longjing tea from the other side of the Pacific Ocean. It tastes fresher than the black tea we often drink."


    He put down the teapot, went to his seat, opened his chair, sat down, and asked, "how did you get Emma Watson? Can you get her to agree to be a guest for a dollar? "


    If you remember correctly, these people don''t have much friendship with Emma Watson and Harry Potter, and the British girl is so popular that it''s not easy to impress her.


    "This has nothing to do with me." Seth Logan shook his head. "Bill invited it."


    Bill Rossi put down his tea cup and said, "Emma Watson was a client of CAA a few years ago. I just became one of her co managers a few months ago."


    "What a trick, bill!" Jonah Hill gave bill rosis a straight thumb.


    It''s not easy for a client like Emma Watson to get a position as her agent.


    Bill rosis laughed and then said, "she''s a smart girl. I just suggested and she agreed."


    "Oh?" James Franco thought, "she''s not stupid."


    "I''ve dealt with Emma Watson." Robert Downey, Jr. picked up the teapot, poured himself another glass, and said, "a girl with a very clear mind, second to Natalie Portman."


    Hearing this, the others turned to look at Murphy. Murphy shrugged, "does it have anything to do with me?"


    Jonah Hill gave him a middle finger. After all, the dispute between Murphy and Natalie Portman was very clear.


    "Emma Watson is really clear headed." Bill rossis fully agrees with Robert Downey Jr. "she is very clear about the difficulties that may be faced in the next few years."


    All of you here are Hollywood insiders. Naturally, we know what Bill Rossi means in his words. The Harry Potter series is coming to an end. A young actress and female idol with a fixed image, even in the face of a very painful transition.


    In this way, everyone understands that Emma Watson, under the guidance of bill rosis, should want to have a good relationship with the stantons, especially Murphy.


    "And Rihanna?" Asked little Robert Downey with concern.


    "Er..." Seth logan was still thinking about how to use words, and Jonah Hill let out his secret directly, "Seth and Rihanna are the same. People looked at Seth Logan and laughed at him at the same time."Seth, you have a strong taste."


    "Wow, Rihanna has a strong taste."


    Unconsciously, the others split into two groups.


    In short, in Murphy''s mouth, both Rihanna and Seth Logan have become heavy taste lovers.


    After a while of joking, people continued to discuss the topic of "the end of the world". Bill rosis said, "the company also has some contract customers, who also want to be guest stars."


    Murphy said, "you give Seth a list and let him choose."


    One more thing came to his mind, "Seth, get in touch with Nicholas Cage."


    Nicholas Cage also has a three point low pay movie appointment with Stanton studio. Originally, Murphy wanted to use him in his next film, but the change of the scene brought by Margot Robbie has made him decide to cancel the role, so he should just give it to Seth Logan.


    Murphy devolves most of the power of the cast to Seth Logan, who is the director and producer. Seth Logan, Jonah hill and James Franco are responsible for the project.


    Of course, James Franco habitual lazy, Jonah Hill sometimes unreliable, mainly relying on Seth Logan this fat man.


    "Seth, it''s getting ready now." Murphy asked, "when can we start shooting?"


    "The fastest..." Seth Logan thought about it seriously. "It won''t start shooting until the middle of January at the earliest. I plan to finish all the production in October next year. 20th Century Fox wants to show it on Thanksgiving in November or Christmas in December."


    "Yes." Murphy thought for a moment, "Seth, you''re communicating with Carla fisdor about this."


    In fact, Carla Firth and 20th century fox didn''t pay special attention to the film "the end of the world". After all, for 20th century fox, investing $30 million in a project is nothing.


    In addition to Seth Logan, Murphy will also ask Gail gado to follow up on the issue of doomsday.


    The film''s main market is North America. In fact, including Murphy''s new project, Stanton studio''s project is mainly aimed at North America.


    Let alone now. Even in the past five years, North America is still the largest film market in the world. If we consider not only the box office, but also the income of the whole industry chain, we are afraid that for a long time to come, North America will be the largest film market in the world.


    Therefore, when Murphy makes movies, the first consideration is the North American audience, and then the other markets.


    For example, in the investment negotiation between Stanton studio and Wanda, Wanda first made a request that an actress named Tian Jing from the other side of the Pacific Ocean replace Margot Robbie as the heroine of the film without reaching any agreement.


    At first, Murphy didn''t know who the actress was. After all, she got the transliterated name on the document in front of him. Later, she thought that she was the famous one


    In fact, it doesn''t matter who the actress Wanda asks for, because Murphy doesn''t plan to use it at all. He knows that his extremely dark film will not have too many audiences even if it appears in the cinema over there through the approval of the scissors, and the box office will be very ordinary.


    As for the most profitable peripherals of Hollywood movies, Murphy did not even consider them, which can be ignored.


    But after all, Murphy is still quite curious about the origin of the actress. This is a problem that he once couldn''t figure out. When the other person''s native place is unknown, he can let a group of big names play the role of green leaves for her, but they are not red at all. What''s more, it can be called the existence of poison in the ticket room


    However, this not only has no negative effect, but also the actress''s road is getting wider and wider. Later, she will play some important roles in Hollywood blockbusters, which is a miracle.


    What''s more surprising is that no matter which media, they dare not report her specific origin and who is behind her. Even in the relatively open place of the Internet, they can''t find any practical information about her background.


    An actress, to this extent, is definitely not able to be maintained or praised by the rich. If there is no strong background behind her, no one will believe it.


    No matter who used to be Murphy or who is now well-informed, they all think that this actress is absolutely a super wonderful existence.


    Because Murphy didn''t plan to use the actors from the other side of the Pacific Ocean at all, he directly rejected Wanda''s precondition, and the negotiation between the two sides inevitably broke down. Murphy''s idea of investing in Wanda''s cinema line completely miscarried, and it may even affect the film''s review there. 20th century Fox also made it a good idea that the film can''t be reviewed in the market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean We need to be prepared.
