Hollywood Road

Although many stalks of the past cannot be used because of the time, Murphy’s plan will not change the tone of the film. "Deadpool" will not only satisfy the original comic book fans, but also please the mainstream audience. From time to time, he breaks the fourth wall and directly shouts to the audience. While laughing at the concept of superheroes, he does not forget to ridicule celebrities and various messy incidents in North America.

In the sub-shot artwork that Murphy has drawn, you can see Deadpool using Hello.Kitty lip balm soon after the opening, because there is a famous stalk in the "Deadpool" comic, he put Hello.Kitty band-aid on Wolverine , It can be said that the foundation is full.

Just like Robert Downey Jr. mentioned him and Leonardo DiCaprio, now that the actors have changed, the stalks about the Green Lantern Corps are of course useless, but Robert Downey Jr. can. Teasing yourself in the film.

The previous bed. The stalk was just a ridicule of the "Star Wars" series. There will be a scene in the script. When Deadpool and Vanessa are intimate, Vanessa will say that it is like Master Yoda riding on Luke's back. Ride me like that, Wade replied that this is a joke of "Star Wars", the heroine said it was "The Empire Strikes Back".

And on the bed at this time, Jianjian was holding her hostess Vanessa Callisler from behind.

Of course, ridicule of other superheroes is also indispensable, such as the little spider who is side by side with two surprises.

Also, Murphy accepted James Franco's suggestion and intends to add a little bit about Batman.

For example, when Deadpool describes his relationship with his landlady-we are like Batman and Robin, except that she is older and darker, and she still loves me. Wait, I'm pretty sure Robin loves Batman too!

Murphy will not give up the opportunity to laugh at himself. Deadpool will break the fourth wall and shoot directly at him as the director. For example, there will be many lines such as inexperience in directing a superhero movie for the first time.

Several people kept discussing until very late. When Bill Rossis left, he specifically reminded Murphy, “I will confirm the final script as soon as possible. The guarantee company has been waiting for it. Our project still needs financing!”

In the financing investment method adopted by Fox in the 20th century, the completion guarantee is indispensable.

"I know." Murphy certainly knew this.

After sending these people away, he returned to the backyard. The backyard was not a mess, but there was also a lot of rubbish. Gal Gadot was standing by the pool, holding a clip with a long handle, clearing the peels that fell on the ground.

"Hey, dear."

Murphy asked her to come over on the weekend to relax, but she didn't work as a servant for herself, so she hurried over and grabbed the clip in her hand, "Don't worry about it, people from the housekeeping company will come to clean up tomorrow."

"Take these peels away first," Gal Gadot picked up the trash bag next to him, walked to the table, and collected the remaining peels, and said, "It's still very hot now, and it will taste bad tomorrow. ."

She turned her head to look at Murphy, "Do you want our backyard to become a smelly garbage dump."

"Of course not." Murphy also walked over to help.

The two of them were busy for less than ten minutes. They simply cleaned up the backyard and walked back to the main building together. On the way, Gal Gadot had been looking down and thinking, and seemed to have encountered some annoying things.

Gal Gadot first took Murphy to the bathroom on the first floor to wash his hands. When they went upstairs together, Murphy saw her strangeness and couldn't help asking, "My dear, are you worried?"

"I just came to Los Angeles," Gal Gadot complained, "You are leaving."

"I just went to Australia to shoot, and I will be back soon, and I have to wait for two months to pass." Murphy took her hand and whispered comforting, "The shooting is two months at most, and there are holidays on weekends. Will come back too."

Gal Gadot just complained, knowing Murphy's ambition, and admiring him, immediately shook his head, "I'll go to you then."

Murphy took her waist and kissed Gal Gadot lightly on the cheek.

In the next two days, after collecting so many suggestions, he quickly completed the final draft of the script, and then, together with Kara Feith, met with someone from the film's guarantee company.

In the previous three films, the crew also introduced a completion guarantee, but Murphy is more of a pure director. Apart from knowing the representatives of the sponsor stationed in the crew, and working with each other fairly, he didn’t. Actually participated in the process of introducing the film completion guarantee by the crew, and this time I simply completed this work with Carla Fess.

In Hollywood, art and science have jointly created the prosperity of this industry. Commercial computing needs scientific support, especially in the discovery and mining of data. Hollywood is a weapon for business success. Since the birth of Hollywood, market research has begun. The established, accumulated data, and the tools that evolved from it are the strong cornerstones of the Hollywood industry.

According to market research, the producer will determine the investment in the film and then raise funds from the outside. In order to ensure the true use of the investment, the investor will inevitably use certain supervision measures. The completion guarantee system is undoubtedly the most powerful guarantee.

The Hollywood film industry has long evolved from the form of work and handicraft to the high-tech era of large-scale industrialization, and the industrialization of production management has naturally emerged at the historic moment.

The entire Hollywood film production management actually has a text system, and everyone will act in accordance with this production system. The completion guarantee is a rigid demand of Hollywood and is a part of the entire production system.

Production is the starting point of the entire film industry chain, and the completion guarantee is a special division of labor that embodies industrialization in production management.

The "Deadpool" crew introduced the American International Assurance Company, which provides not only the film producer but also investment institutions such as banks and funds.

In Hollywood, as far as all production companies are concerned, obtaining the support of the completion guarantee is the key to financing from banks or funds. It even determines whether overseas distribution companies will provide pre-sale financing to the producers. For distribution companies , The confirmation of the completion guarantee means that the film will be delivered to the distribution company as scheduled. Therefore, the producer, director and other main creators will actively cooperate with the completion guarantee company's "rigorous" management before and during the event.

Murphy is no exception, he has become accustomed to this Hollywood system.

When the two parties signed the agreement, it was stipulated that during the filming in Australia, representatives of the guarantee company on the crew would communicate with Murphy and Carla-Face every day or meet or call to determine the next day’s filming plan, which would arrive the night before. Various departments and personnel of the crew to ensure that the shooting plan for the next day is rule-based and will not waste time and money.

Of course, not all film projects can be guaranteed by insurance companies, and Hollywood’s unreliable aborted film projects are not without it. If a project has a problem, it will be a very big trouble for the insurance company.

Just like Hollywood film companies review the investment projects, every commercial company will not easily give the green light to commercial activities, let alone guarantee a project with a script.

In order to obtain the support of American International Assurance Company, so that the crew can pre-sale and financing as soon as possible, Murphy and Carla-Face submitted a series of basic documents to evaluate the project to American International Assurance Company.

The first is the final script that has been finalized, which is the prerequisite for the crew to shoot.

After submitting the application and confirming the script, during the filming process, unless the director and investors reach a consensus on major changes, only minor changes can be made. Projects like the Sunglasses King that start filming without a script cannot be guaranteed for the completion of the film. , But the King of Sunglasses comes to Hollywood to make a film, and he also needs a script first.

The second is the online and offline cost budget table. In this regard, Murphy's plan has been formulated, and Twentieth Century Fox has made some revisions on this basis.

The third is a 20--100 day shooting plan. Too short or too long is not conducive to risk control, and it is more difficult to pass the internal audit of the insurance company.

The general cycle of filming in Hollywood is between 30-80 days. According to this, the requirements of the shooting plan provided are very accurate, so as to ensure the accurate operation of the shooting. For investors, the overdue and overrun of the plan may cause the project to be in the final financial book. The change of the above is completely unrecognizable, which of course means that the investment risk has increased sharply.

Murphy's plan is to complete the filming within two months, which is not a problem at all.

The last thing is the shooting budget.

The more detailed the budget statement during the shooting period, the better it is for the completion guarantee company to evaluate the rationality of the project. The completion guarantee company will compare the daily reports during the shooting period to supervise the execution of the project. If there is a change, the completion guarantee company We will first communicate with the producer and director on how to complete the plan for the rest of the shooting.

But if the problem is very serious and the contradiction is irreconcilable, the guarantor of the completion of the film will freeze the co-managed bank account or even take over the entire project.

Because Murphy and Carla-Fiss were very well prepared, and "Deadpool" was a project from Twentieth Century Fox, the crew soon signed a formal agreement with the American International Assurance Company.

It was probably a personal involvement. Murphy looked at this agreement very, very seriously for the first time, especially in the link that would have a significant impact on him as a director.

During the filming of "Deadpool", the guarantor of the completion will send representatives to the crew to supervise the scene. The producer and director team must submit daily reports, crew-related information and the next day's shooting plan every day. The guarantor of the completion will check whether the plan is consistent Consistent to ensure that the expected goals and settings are carried out.

According to the agreement between the two parties, in order to effectively allow Kara-Fis’s production department and Murphy’s creative department to execute the plan on schedule and on budget, the completion guarantee company will establish a joint account with the film crew’s bank, and the pre-seller The investment funds of the investor and the investor will be credited to the joint account in accordance with the agreement after the completion guarantor confirms that the producer has performed the contract.

American International Assurance Company can not only show transparency, but also use substantively intervening bank accounts to constrain the crew’s withdrawal of investment funds. Once Murphy and Kara-Fiss violated the planned overspending or overdue behavior, which endangers the interests of investors, The film completion guarantee party has the right to freeze the account and take over the film in accordance with the film completion guarantee agreement, including changing the director and producer to complete the delivery of the film to the distribution company, and bear the costs required for the completion of the film after the takeover, and protect the interests of investors.

Of course, this situation is only the bottom line of the completion guarantee agreement, and the completion guarantee party will not exercise it unless it must be triggered.

With such restrictions on the supervision of producers and crews, Hollywood has no shortage of continuous investment.

Murphy and Carla-Fiss seem to have found the sword of Damocles for their crew, but they actually set up investment protection. This is a real business society, and no one’s money is blown by the wind. Investors are not fools.
