Due to the fact that several North American cities such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago have successively held special shows for Film Academy members and media critics, "Diego Ross" did not perform well in the last weekend. Although fans are not forbidden to buy tickets to watch these shows, the name of Murphy Stanton is just like Steven Smith for Oscar judges, media reporters and professional film critics- Spielberg is as attractive as James Cameron.


    This directly led to the emergence of a lot of free viewers, to a certain extent, affected the box office revenue.


    After three days of screening over the weekend in ten point screening cinemas, "Diego rose" has gained more than $280000 at the box office. The average single studio performance is still not outstanding. The only thing to be thankful for is that the single studio box office has not plummeted due to the expansion of the film.


    The new Christmas holiday is coming, but "Diego Ross" will not blindly expand the screening scale.


    "Before the new year, the film will remain in the spot size of ten cinemas."


    While driving in the car, bill rossis told Murphy, "this kind of screening is enough to get tickets, let judges and media reporters see the film, and prevent the spread of poor audience evaluation."


    Although the audience reputation is not the key to the award season, it can also affect some people''s voting choices.


    "I talked to Carla Firth." Murphy recently contacted Kara Firth daily via the Internet. "Before most of the Oscar judges'' votes are returned, Diego rose will be limited to 20 theaters."


    Most of the judges usually mail their votes back to the college in mid January, while a few wait until the final deadline.


    It''s a disadvantage to miss most of the outpost awards, including the Golden Globes, when "Diego Ross" is screened too late.


    Fortunately, the media and professional evaluation of this film is good enough, otherwise there will be few candidates for the Oscar nomination.


    However, the film also has an advantage. The story is about Los Angeles in the 1980s and 1990s. A considerable number of Oscar judges live in Los Angeles all the year round. They should still remember the chaos of that era. The film may evoke their nostalgia.


    When people get old, they tend to be nostalgic. It''s just that the Oscar judges can be called the club of the old men.


    The car drove all the way to Santa Monica business square, where today there was a blu ray Limited Edition DVD signing activity of "city of chaos". In order to create momentum for the follow-up film, Murphy needed to participate in person.


    Although the box office of "city of chaos" is not particularly high, the subsequent online demand, rental and DVD sales are very good, and the film now ranks among the top 50 IMDB movies with a score of 8.7, which is in sharp contrast to the popular "Diego Ross".


    In the face of these two completely different situations, Murphy himself has also analyzed that the most criticized place of "Diego rose" is the gentle narrative rhythm and the plot turning point of high tide.


    This is also the biggest difference between this film and "city of chaos".


    Although "city of chaos" is boasted by many fans as a film with great connotation and ideology, one thing Murphy is sure that when watching this film, in fact, fans will not really think about it, because the pace of the film is too fast, and there is no such frequent use of long shots as "Diego Ross".


    The short shot, sharp editing, and constantly changing plots finally push the plot and the audience''s emotions to the climax. This is the biggest feature of the city of chaos, apart from the black elements.


    From these aspects, "city of chaos" is a typical Hollywood film. Even if he is regarded as a personality director, he is still a typical Hollywood director.


    In fact, after a comparative study, it is not difficult to find out why his films were popular in North America and even the whole western world. The strong attraction of those films is due to their tendency to express simple emotions such as joy, anger, sadness, joy, love and hate, as well as basic human behaviors such as violence and * *.


    These films have a set style in terms of types, and they are skillful, coherent and traceless. Audiences are familiar with the routines of these films, and get satisfaction from the realization of the expected effects. Then Murphy adds some themes that look very serious and dark, and makes appropriate adjustments, so as to be more in line with the nature of the audience''s pursuit of fresh and exciting, rather than completely overthrowing the new one.


    Even more than Hollywood''s traditional commercial films, he pursues a more compact rhythm, attracting people with constantly changing plots and images. People don''t need to think a lot about the content, at least when watching movies.


    In this way, the audience only need to follow the rhythm of the film, and the dark and serious content mainly produces thinking after watching the film, which is consistent with the psychological needs of most audiences who want to relax and pursue intuitive stimulation when watching the film.


    In fact, not only the popcorn commercial films in Hollywood, but also his black, serious and realistic commercial films tend to stylize the problems in real lifeHalf of the money made by Hollywood movies comes from the global market outside the United States. Even if a director like him directs A-level production with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, he also needs to consider the universal psychology and needs of human nature when facing the audiences all over the world.


    One thing Murphy can''t deny is that his films ignore the history and culture of a country''s independence.


    In the eyes of some art directors, this actually damages the value of the film.


    If from the perspective of pure film art, Murphy can not deny this.


    Even works like American beauty, which are thought-provoking in Hollywood movies, have a lot of stereotypes, excessive dramatization and murder So it''s different from the art movies that are advocated.


    But then again, how many pure art films are there in the world today?


    "If we really want to seriously explore the complicated problems in life, we need people to use their brains to analyze them. The films that analyze the problems ask the audience to go beyond the basic audio-visual requirements, that is, this kind of film needs to be understood by art. The audience must infer that there is nothing directly shown on the screen, and explore the hidden meaning in the unknown and unheard of places..."


    Think of here, Murphy can''t help shaking his head, not to mention the ordinary audience, I''m afraid a considerable number of directors can''t do it.


    A few days ago, he saw an interview with a European film director on the Internet. Although he didn''t quite agree with what he said about art films, he also left a deep impression.


    When the European director was interviewed, he believed that due to the continuous development and change of people''s values, politics, history, culture and environment, some highly experimental and advanced films may be better understood in the future. Serious artists are always exploring how to express new ideas with new methods to go beyond the present limitations, and there will be failures However, film is interlinked with other arts and even science. It always gains from a large number of failures. If it does not innovate, it will regress.


    Moreover, there are different types of artists. Some people will create works that the mainstream audience likes, while others are constantly exploring and making efforts to innovate. It is this force that promotes the continuous development of art to a higher level.


    Murphy agrees with the latter point of view. Strictly speaking, most directors in Hollywood will create works that mainstream audiences like.


    When the business bus arrived at Santa Monica Commercial Plaza, Murphy stopped thinking and looked out of the window. The lights were flashing outside. It seemed that there were a lot of reporters.


    Several bodyguards and bill rosis got out of the car first. After isolating the reporters, they opened the door for Murphy. With their escort and regardless of the reporters'' messy questions, Murphy went straight to the exhibition area in the center of the square building.


    Santa Monica Commercial Plaza is one of the places where Hollywood movies often engage in activities. It is connected with Santa Monica Beach in front. It is the most fashionable shopping center in California and the shopping center on the west side of Los Angeles.


    "Murphy, it''s Murphy..."


    As soon as he reached the exhibition area, Murphy heard a loud cry, "Murphy! Murphy


    Although the voice was confused, his name was still clear.


    In order to avoid confusion among fans, the organizer arranged for Murphy to go through the east side door. When he looked up, he saw a long line in the hall and near the main door of the commercial square. Looking out from the transparent glass door, he could not see where the end of the line was.


    This era has changed after all. The appeal of big directors is not much worse than that of superstars.


    Entering the temporary exhibition area, several bodyguards always follow Murphy, for fear of over enthusiastic fans


    "Director Stanton..."


    One of Carla Firth''s men, who was in charge of the event, came to say hello. Murphy nodded to him and walked directly to the signature table, saying, "Betty, let''s go."


    Bette quickly follows Murphy and reminds him, "it''s half an hour before the signing. Do you want to take a rest first?"


    Murphy shook his head. "No, it looks like a lot of people are here today."


    He went to the back of the signature table, directly opened the chair and sat down. The fans holding the DVD opposite him saw that the signing was going to start ahead of time, and immediately became restless.


    Bette had been ready for a long time. She pressed the button of the microphone pinned to her collar and said aloud, "there are a lot of people here today. Everyone supports Murphy very much. Murphy came here a little earlier and insisted on signing ahead of time so as to satisfy more fans. Please line up and keep order."


    With the spread of the sound, the fans were quiet. With the help of the security personnel, the restless team quickly restored order. Then the staff opened the isolation belt and let the fans come in.
