    "Suggestions?" Murphy looks at Carla Firth. "What advice?"


    When Carla Firth first entered the industry, she often consulted Murphy for advice on film. However, times have changed, and now she no longer needs it. Compared with Murphy, who only focuses on her own film career, Carla Firth, who sits in the top position of fox in the 20th century, has a larger macro structure.


    Murphy also admits that if he didn''t have the experience, he can''t match Carla Firth.


    The different positions of the two created this situation.


    Carla Firth knew that although Murphy was stubborn sometimes, most of the time, he could listen to other people''s advice.


    Besides, with the friendship between them, there is nothing hard to say.


    So Carla Firth said directly, "add an important black character."


    Murphy frowned slightly.


    Carla Firth understood what he thought and said, "it''s true that black actors are very troublesome. Pay attention to them. They think it''s discrimination. Ignore them. They think it''s discrimination, but..."


    She shook her head and said, "apart from the duel between the hero and the villain, aren''t there other important roles? Find one for the black, and it''s easy to win over the black audience. "


    Murphy thinks about it. Kara Firth makes a lot of sense. Nowadays, the number of black people is increasing, and he has become an audience that can not be ignored in the film market. In the past, his reputation in this field is not very good. Many tabloids even hyped that he discriminated against black people. Past market surveys have also proved that the black audience willing to buy tickets to watch his films is far below the average level.


    However, it''s really troublesome to find a black man to serve in the cast like an old man and worry about making trouble from time to time.


    Fingers tapping on the table, Murphy suddenly had an idea, "there is a more suitable role for black actors, the play is not heavy, but a real hero."


    There are few shots of that character, and it''s totally a positive image. It can be done in one day. Just pull a black actor to be a guest. In this way, the other person only needs to stay in the crew for one day


    Cara FESS believes in Murphy''s ability, smiles and says, "this is a suggestion, and how to do it, you has the final say."


    Murphy nodded. He was never stubborn and flexible. The number of black people in North America also decided to make some appropriate changes.


    Yes, with appropriate changes, Murphy will not follow Hollywood''s stylized changes, but will make Chris Dann a decent Black partner.


    Although strictly speaking, his films are not divorced from Hollywood''s industrial production line mode, they are obviously different from those popcorn films with serious homogenization.


    In fact, it''s not hard to find that in the assembly line factory of Hollywood, the stylization of crew setting is very prominent. For example, in large-scale commercial production, there is usually a hero who can''t fight to death, a female vase with big chest, no brain and high face value, one or two little kids who can drag their feet, and one who always plays a role at the critical moment Black people who don''t die


    They talked about this topic for a while, and Murphy was ready to go back. Kara Firth asked, "there will be a publicity activity around the film tomorrow. Are you going to join it?"


    "No more." Murphy waved his hand. "I have to catch a plane to New Zealand at noon."


    Before he left, Carla Firth said, "remember to make time for the San Diego anime show in July."


    Murphy nodded and left the restaurant.


    At noon the next day, he left Los Angeles by plane and flew to Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. Since Gail gado was still in the Caribbean Sea to help James Franco and Lily Collins greet guests, it would be two days later. Murphy simply asked Bill rosis to contact Richard Taylor of Vita studio in advance and prepare to visit Vita studio.


    This is also Murphy''s original plan, but it''s ahead of schedule.


    Of course, it''s not just for visiting weta studios. As the cost of shooting films is getting higher and higher, and the scale of special effects production is getting larger and larger, Murphy is not ready to cooperate with those small special effects studios any more, but is looking for more reliable and excellent special effects partners.


    Vita studio is one of the objects he is considering.


    Of course, Murphy himself is very interested in Vita studio.


    In Hollywood, there is a strange saying.


    There is only one director in New Zealand, that is Peter Jackson, and there is only one film company in New Zealand, that is vita. The two have built a film kingdom.


    In 2001, when the audience all over the world saw the fairyland like home on the screen, it completely collapsed. The appearance of the Lord of the rings has promoted the movie dream to a new level.


    As a result, Peter Jackson got the nickname of "special effects emperor", and vita special effects studio also rose from a small workshop in New Zealand to the world''s best "DreamWorks", which brought a strong impact on the former monopoly of Industrial Light Magic special effects company, and made "father of Star Wars" George Lucas depressed for a long time.When people in the industry talk about special effects, Vita is absolutely the only top company in this field.


    According to American media, there is a kind of unique insect in New Zealand island country, which is huge, and its name is vita. A fat New Zealand man named Peter Jackson was scared to death by Vita from childhood to adulthood. However, when he had the opportunity to participate in the establishment of a special effects company, he ignored the past and named the company vita.


    Today, Vita studio is undoubtedly extremely successful. When making special effects for Avatar, they have upgraded the "performance capture" technology to an omnipotent level, so that when Tim Burton filmed "Alice in Wonderland" for Disney, he abandoned the studio of Robert zemikis, who also specializes in "performance capture" No, working with Vita forced Disney to shut down zemikis studio this year.


    This famous special effects company in the industry is extremely mysterious and low-key. Because the company is located in "Middle Earth", that is, Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, which is a small film country, they can stay away from the spotlight of Hollywood and concentrate on realizing their magnificent dreams for film makers with imagination, especially for those who love the weird.


    As a "Lord of the rings" fan, it''s hard for Murphy to suppress his excitement when he drives his rented car across the streets of Wellington to founder Richard Taylor, who has gradually expanded from an apartment to a benchmark company in the world''s film industry.


    Vita headquarters is located in a secluded corner called Miramar in the suburb of Wellington. Founded in 1987 by Richard Taylor, his wife Tania Taylor and Peter Jackson, Vita has developed into a film special effects Empire and industry leader, producing props, live effects, special effects makeup, miniature models and weaponry for films all over the world.


    Through the entrance of Vita house, three giant statues are erected outside the gate to provide self portrait materials. Murphy sees the ordinary Vita headquarters building. After getting off the car, Richard Taylor, creative director and founder of Vita studio, is waiting in front of the building.


    "Hello, director Stanton."


    After seeing Murphy, Richard Taylor quickly steps up and reaches out his right hand. "I welcome you on behalf of the whole Vita studio."


    Murphy shook his hand. "It''s my honor to see the top special effects company in the world."


    Richard Taylor is very polite, and Murphy will not be rude.


    After a few words of greeting, Richard Taylor made a gesture of invitation, "let me show you around the studio first."


    Murphy laughed. "I can''t wait."


    While speaking, Richard Taylor leads the way, and Murphy follows him into the building. All kinds of furnishings in the front hall of the building make him an eye opener. Fans like him can be regarded as an eye opener. Different forms of Oakes, human armor, and the famous Gollum monster are all close at hand.


    Richard Taylor is tall and friendly. He enthusiastically introduces Murphy to various departments, departments and small affiliated companies.


    "The company is actually a complex combination," Richard Taylor explains. "You''re in Vita studio, opposite of Vita digital, and there''s only one wall between the two companies. In the studio, we have a fairly comprehensive system, with multiple departments providing services for films. "


    "My wife and I moved to Wellington in the late 1980s and set up a studio in the warehouse of our apartment to serve local companies. About five years later, we were lucky to meet Peter Jackson. He''s planning to make a second film, and we''ve been involved in the production, and we''ve been developing since then, and we''ve been doing it today. We are now an organization with 11 different branches, such as publishing, marketing, public art exhibitions, providing various services. "


    With Richard Taylor''s introduction, Murphy learned more about the studio.


    Vita studios include Stone Street Studios, where "King Kong" was shot; Park Road Post production company, a state-of-the-art post production organization; Portsmouth rental company, a rental company providing production equipment; pukeko pictures, a production company for multimedia platform entertainment; and, of course, Vita studios, a manufacturing company The studio.


    Then, Richard Taylor accompanied Murphy into the special effects makeup workshop.


    "Director Stanton..." He said very directly, "as long as you need, Vita studio can also provide you with the best service." (to be continued). )
