Gal Gadot was a little dissatisfied with the questions Murphy asked, then thought about the environment in which Murphy grew up, and then let go.

She knows very well that in Murphy’s eyes, no matter what kind of person it is, white, Asian, African, Jewish, Latino, etc., are the same people, and there is no difference. He will not be because of Hollywood. The so-called political correctness of the People’s Republic of China gives black actors and roles any special treatment, and it will not treat the Jews differently because of the past suffering history.

At the beginning, she still had some opinions on Murphy's attitude, but as the time got along, she found that Murphy did not discriminate against anyone, but treated everyone as ordinary people.

Gal Gadot is also very clear, perhaps because of his education, his boyfriend knows very little about Western history.

Like the next project that will involve a period of important history, the plot is basically based on imagination and has nothing to do with the past history.

After thinking about it, Gal Gadot felt that he should popularize the history he knew for Murphy.

"This is how it happened," she said to Murphy very seriously, "At first, people thought that Poland would not lose the war; then, when the Germans came in, people thought they could continue to live; then, they passed The decree prohibits Jews from sitting on public benches, or in parks and other places; then, they say that Jews must wear the Star of David armband; then, they say that all Jews must be concentrated in one district; then, they use walls Living in this area, there has not been a certain critical moment, and there is not much possibility of reacting and organizing..."

Gal Gadot shook his head and continued, "When the Germans arrived in France in 1940, why didn't the French immediately resist? The situation is the same. At every stage of this complex situation, people will say,'This will happen. The past, it will pass, and the situation will not get worse...' But it was a big mistake, it was worse, worse, worse! In the end, most of the people were killed."

Hearing these words of Gal Gadot, Murphy thought about it extremely seriously, and then nodded slightly.

He has very limited knowledge of Western history, but he is familiar with some historical events on the other side of the Pacific.

"Sorry, dear," Murphy said actively.

Gal Gadot leaned in and kissed him lightly on the cheek, "It's okay, I know you didn't mean it."

The two naturally changed the subject and discussed the preparation and shooting plan of "Inglourious Basterds". In this project, Gal Gadot will serve as an assistant producer and continue their own learning path.

Murphy, however, thought of the movie aspect when Gal Gadot talked about the history of the Jews.

Of course, he has no interest in themes such as the Holocaust. He just thought of the way Germans treat Jews, which can be applied to movies. This feeling of gradual progress is also very important to a movie. Yes, when this sensation accumulates to a certain height, the final burst will undoubtedly be more enjoyable.

Switching to this film, that is, after the preparation of many small climaxes, the final climax scene not only kills Hitler, but also frantically whips his corpse, allowing the audience to vent freely.

If you switch to another role, you will undoubtedly take a great risk. But Hitler’s words are not at all. Anti-** and anti-Hitler are completely politically correct. They are 100% more correct than the so-called black political correctness. Times.

In the context of social and political public opinion constructed over decades, it is an idiot to clean up Adolf Hitler.

In the recent period, Murphy has been further polishing the script of "Inglourious Basterds". Each director has his own ideas. Quentin Tarantino's way of telling stories is definitely not suitable for him.

For example, in many transitional plots of the film, Quentin Tarantino likes to use a lot of dialogue that deviates from the theme of the film, while Murphy has never liked to be verbose in the film, and will use every minute and every second as much as possible. Create an unbreathable tense rhythm for the film.

This is not to say that Quentin Tarantino’s filming and production methods are not good, but that every director will have his own style. Any director who becomes famous will develop his own style, even the most recognized mode of filming and production. Steven Spielberg is no exception.

Among the scripts that have been completed, Murphy did not use Hollywood's usual moves to create a tense atmosphere, but considering the physiological reactions of the audience, he will still try some small routines appropriately.

For example, creating a tense atmosphere in the script is to put pressure on the audience of the film, and the only thing that can cause the audience to suffer both psychologically and physically is time. Here Murphy needs some strategies to determine the duration of the entire scene and how to The scene retracts freely to show the tense rhythm.

In other words, in filming, the drama, atmosphere, and rhythm tension should be cleverly grasped, and there is a degree of relaxation. It is difficult for the audience to predict which second the climax will occur.

There are also scenes that embody characters or other backgrounds.

People who have watched Quentin Tarantino's films will definitely have an impression of this aspect. When the plot of the movie needs to explain the background of a person or an important prop, the ruffian director often uses some simple and rude methods, the most The typical is to insert a narration and the corresponding picture directly into the movie.

But Murphy has never used this technique before, and does not intend to use it in the future.

Of course, this is only due to personal interest, and no one can deny the reasonable use of this method.

In many cases, the background story is so complicated that it will take too long to present it in a real scene.

Therefore, narration is often used in the first act to explain the background story so that the audience can catch up with the progress of the story. Some screenwriters do not like to use narration and think that it is a way for lazy people to tell stories.

This idea is usually right, because the use of narration on some illustrative images has almost become the standard pattern for the first act of a comedy, which is a rather formulaic opening.

Nevertheless, it is wrong to think that this writing method negates the value of the entire script. When this method is used correctly, bringing out the background story with narration can not only guide the audience, but also make the audience in a lively and styled way. Enter the story.

The completed script, including the introduction of the flammability and explosiveness of film made of nitrocellulose, will be hidden by Murphy in the story of the whole movie, rather than being specifically explained.

The background story reveals important information about the character's identity, and also provides the basic elements of conflict in the story. How the director and screenwriter express the background story in the movie will determine the structure of the entire script to some extent.

Regardless of whether Murphy chooses to tell all the background stories in the first act, or weave it into the development of the story, the relationship between the background story of a character and the development of identity should always be closely linked.

In many cases, it is useful to retain some important background story information, which can make the disclosure of this small amount of information consistent with the development of the story or the self-development of the character.

In addition, in the introduction of German officer Hugo, a member of the **** squad, Murphy will use the method of identity diffusion.

Hugo basically has no lines. His actions are roles. Every plot and story about him has been deliberately designed to add another side of the role the movie tells.

These are all due to the different styles and personal interests of Murphy and Quentin Tarantino.

Asking him to shoot and make movies exactly in Quentin Tarantino's way, Murphy is sure that the chance of messing up is far higher than the chance of success.

In mid-December, Murphy basically confirmed the final draft of the script, and good news came from 20th Century Fox and Weinstein Pictures. The two companies will jointly invest up to 80 million US dollars in this project. Filming and production of the film.

Since the current project is completely dominated by Murphy, Twentieth Century Fox has also occupied an absolute dominant position in this cooperation with Weinstein Pictures. It will not only serve as the North American and overseas publisher of "Shameless Bastard", but also Get 51% of the investment share of the film.

In other circumstances, Weinstein Pictures may abandon this project, but Quentin Tarantino hired Murphy. The Weinstein brothers clearly remember how terrifying Murphy had created for them. Profit, even if they pursue Oscars as their main mode of operation, it is impossible to refuse the temptation of profit.

At the same time, Bill Rossis also represented Murphy in completing the remuneration negotiations with the two companies. The great success of "Man of Steel" undoubtedly made Murphy firmly stand in the position of Hollywood's first-line director, and Compared with other first-line directors, the investment profit ratio of the films directed by Murphy is undoubtedly higher. Without expending too much effort, Bill Rossis got Murphy to match his current status and appeal. treatment.

This is still an upfront payment plus revenue sharing contract.

According to the contract, Murphy will receive an upfront payment of US$12 million in three installments. After "Inglourious Basterds" is released from the North American and overseas markets, as long as the global box office can exceed three times the production cost of US$80 million, He will automatically get 20% of the box office share. If the film's North American box office can exceed 500 million US dollars, the share ratio will rise to 25%...

Of course, the 20th Century Fox and Weinstein Films rely on successful directors like Murphy, but they are not fools. Murphy’s dividends do not involve the DVD and TV broadcasting revenues that are the bulk of the Hollywood company’s income.

However, Murphy had previously explained that Bill Rossis told him about 15% of all future online pay-on-demand, download and rental income of "Inglourious Basterds" as a dividend.

Perhaps this part of the income is not particularly high today, but the contract period is as high as ten years, and the future potential is unlimited.

After getting these things done, Murphy began to prepare for the establishment of a crew. His filming and production team is ready, as long as the summoning order is issued. The actors are the ones he considers the most, especially the SS Colonel Hans.
