Hollywood Road

Wearing a fitted beige professional suit, he is four inches tall on his feet, with long golden hair draped like silk behind his head, and he walks vigorously on the promenade belonging to the production floor of the Fox Building, Carla-Fei Si made no secret of her feelings, just to let everyone see that she was very successful, she was very strong, and it won't take long for this department to change a female director!

This is both a character and a strategy, because Carla Faith knows very well that Dave Scola, whose office is on this floor, can definitely see this.

She is putting pressure on the other person. Only when the pressure is strong enough can Dave Scola make more moves and make more mistakes.

Passing by the door of Dave Scola's office, Carla Faith walked to the end of the corridor and turned into his office.

"Hello, Miss Faith."

In a room outside the suite office, the female secretary greeted her. She could see that her boss was in a very good mood today. She followed into the office inside, and Carla Faith turned to sit behind the desk and lifted it up. I took a sip from the water glass, and the temperature was just right as before.

The female secretary took out a piece of A4 paper from the folder, put it on the table in front of Carla Faith, and said, "This is your itinerary today."

Carla Faith picked up the itinerary and looked at it. The female secretary continued, “Director Stanton’s agent Bill Rossis just called and asked us to continue to pressure the propaganda department to further stir up the topic with DC. heat."

"Well, I see." Carla Faith nodded, "I will communicate with the CAA people."

The phone rang suddenly, and Carla Faith took a look at the company's internal number, picked up the microphone, and said, "Hello, this is Carla Faith."

"It's me, Li." The person who called was the person in charge of the market research department. "Congratulations, Carla, it was the first shot at the company."

"Thank you." Carla Faith smiled faintly, "Murphy did a good job."

He said over there, "It's your cooperation."

The other party seemed to have specifically called this phone to say congratulations, and then hung up. This call seemed to be the beginning. In the following time, the phone rings on Carla-Face’s desk rang one by one, and most departments of the company The person in charge, almost all called congratulations.

In another office not far from this office, it was deserted, and it was also an en-suite office. The secretary sitting outside felt like sitting in the ice cellar. In the room of the boss, it reflected a kind of extreme The cold seems to freeze people.

She sits here quietly, never walks into the office inside without calling, no one wants to be someone else's venting tool.

In the office, Dave Scola didn't have any expression on his face, because he knew very well that he might really have to face strong competition from a woman.

He originally knew that Carla Faith was a very powerful woman, otherwise he would not be where he is today, but the other party is just a novice in the film industry, and wanting to squeeze him out as the director of the production department is simply a pipe dream.

Although Kara-Fis caused some trouble in the project of "The Kingdom of Heaven", the person who can cause trouble may not be able to make a successful movie. Moreover, Deadpool itself is only a second-line comic hero, not to mention its limited influence. The total investment is only 60 million U.S. dollars, which is really nothing.

And he learned about a situation a few months ago. Because the crew didn’t have enough budget, Murphy Stanton and Carla Faith, both of them, came out funny in the finale of the film and made a deal to let Deadpool fill it up. The ammunition backpack is forgotten on the taxi scene, so as not to film the huge scenes and hot scenes, it is only replaced by some innocent close-ups.

At that time, he almost laughed and wanted to run in front of the two guys and ask them, are you making a movie or playing a house game?

The results of it? This so-called joke, not only did not affect the reputation of the "Deadpool" movie among the audience, but became a stalk of the Internet.

On the computer screen in front of Dave Scola, there was an eye-catching comment from the audience, "The biggest stalk of the film is actually that the final battle of Deathpool left the weapons and ammunition in the taxi and forgot to take it, so that the crew saved the big scene Expenses, Murphy Stanton is so witty that people will not admire it!"

"agree!"

"Murphy Stanton is a typical example of doing big things with a small amount of money."

Following this comment, there were voices of approval and sympathy, and it seemed that all movie fans had been brainwashed by Murphy Stanton and Carla Faith.

Even if this is obviously cutting corners, can you use it to entertain yourself? Do movie fans who like "Deadpool" have problems with their heads? Are they all hit by pigs? Didn't you open your umbrella and get the water when it rained?

Dave Scola looked puzzled, what is going on in this market? Is this the North American film market that I know?

He closed this page, revealing the official blog of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times below. The most striking thing on the blog is the box office statistics for the first day of this weekend.

Even if it is suspected that the audience has a problem with their heads and water, it is an indisputable fact that they paid for "Deadpool".

"&Deadpool" topped the Friday box office in North America, breaking the single-day box office record on Friday in April and the opening record of the first day of the North American film in April!"

Just one day after the release, Murphy Stanton and Carla Faith have teamed up to break two records in North American film history!

It is also impossible for the company's top executives to turn a blind eye to this point, these will become Carla-Face's competitive capital!

The following is a specific box office description. Dave Scola didn't want to watch it, but suppressed his boredom and forced himself to watch it. Only by knowing enough about the competition can he be invincible.

"The North American film market, which has been silent for several weeks, finally ushered in a heavyweight masterpiece this weekend. The R-rated superhero film "Deadpool" directed by Murphy Stanton, a young director with a distinctive personal style, produced and released by 20th Century Fox On Friday, the North American market opened on a large scale. It easily won US$7.52 million in the early stage on Thursday, and another 20.08 million US dollars in the following Friday. According to the calculation rules of the current market, it was advanced to the box office on the first day. Calculated, in this way, "Deadpool" easily cut the box office of 27.6 million US dollars on the day of its premiere, becoming the new holder of the box office record for Friday in April, and breaking the record for the first day of the North American film market in April..."

This number makes Dave Scola feel very dazzling, because this is only one day's box office, and it's Friday, and usually it will go up on Saturday.

The “Los Angeles Times” also made predictions below. Those numbers are no longer dazzling, but heart-wrenching!

"This newspaper predicts that by the end of this weekend, "Deadpool" is expected to win $75 million in the box office, which is much higher than the 20th Century Fox's box office estimate of $30 million to $45 million."

This estimate is almost keeping up with the box office of "X-Men 2" in the first week. You must know that "X-Men 2" is the sequel to the big-selling series, and "Deadpool" has no fan base before!

Dave Scola's greatest hope is that the box office of "Deadpool" will drop sharply on Saturday, deducing a joke of high driving and low going.

But the statistics below let him know that this so-called hope is nothing more than a delusion. Since Murphy Stanton entered Hollywood, which movie is not the same as the audience's reputation and professional reputation?

"Deadpool has a strong reputation at the box office at the same time. Cinemascore gave an A+ rating. Rotten Tomatoes also have a freshness of up to 86%. The reputation of the escort, the small and cheap future box office will continue Keep going higher..."

Will continue to rise! Will continue to rise...

This line of words is like a knife. Through Dave Scola’s eyes, it is deeply carved into his mind. The freshness of the rotten tomatoes does not matter. The important thing is that Cinemascore gives an A+ live audience rating. , Which almost means that "Deadpool" will not only go high this weekend, but it is also likely to have a lot of stamina!

Dave Scola's heart was unconsciously churning, "Deadpool"'s North American box office will definitely not be 150 million US dollars! What would it be? 200 million dollars? Or... higher?

Unlike before, at this moment, Dave Scola deeply felt threatened. The success of a film is nothing. What if Carla Faith succeeds in succession? Will inevitably threaten their position.

His gaze on the computer screen finally fell on the name Murphy Stanton. With his help, Carla Faith is very likely to continue to succeed.

Dave Scola closed his eyes and Murphy Stanton’s resume appeared in his mind very clearly. This young director, who was just twenty-four years old, has not only sold out every film he directed since he entered Hollywood, but also All with a relatively small cost in exchange for a super high return.

Carla Faith has the help of Murphy Stanton...

"Deadpool's big sales are not without benefits," Dave Scola turned off the computer, "at least it allows me to see where Kara Fes is strongest, and where is the deadliest."

"Murphy Stanton!" He bent his fingers and tapped on the table, "Murphy Stanton..."

As long as the combination of Kara Firth and Murphy Stanton can be broken up, the situation in the future will definitely be very different.

Dave Scola gradually regained his self-confidence, "A film is only a success. As long as I can continue to succeed, the position of the director remains mine!"

He turned his head slightly and looked at the wall on the side of the office. It was an elaborate poster with a pair of Orlando Bloom and Eva Green in medieval costumes.

Although there is no super-large production led by him this year, but next year there will be a giant such as "The Kingdom of Heaven", which is bound to win back a city.

"In order to prevent accidents," Dave Scola also made a decision, "I want to further participate in the production."
