Hollywood Road

After Christmas, Gal Gadot left Los Angeles and flew to Israel. Murphy joined Carla Faith and began a new round of negotiations with George Martin on "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones."

This magical series is now in progress, and the fifth season of filming has begun. Although George Martin has not died, his body is not as good as a year, and the writing of novels is gradually lagging behind the TV series, but the audience continues to attract Increase, especially **** fans.

Like this kind of big-selling TV series, the benefits that can bring are quite huge, no less than the big-hot series of movies, the most important point of the negotiation between the two sides is undoubtedly the issue of profit distribution. For the follow-up copyright, Murphy and Kara -The Stanton Studio and Twentieth Century Fox represented by Firth made certain concessions to George Martin.

In general, the negotiations proceeded fairly smoothly.

In addition to the issue of profit distribution, Murphy also discussed with George Martin the derivative development of A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones.

"A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" is in its fifth season. It can be said that it has reached the late stage and will end in the next three to four seasons. However, this kind of hugely benefited series, whether it is Stanton Studios or In the 20th century, Fox, of course, will not give up easily, it is bound to squeeze out all its oil and water.

Like a series of movies, popular TV series will continue to be filmed and produced, the sequel is not headed, and there are rumours and prequels that can be shot.

In this series, a series of stories that happened before the first season are mentioned several times. Those past events are also a hot topic for fans to discuss. The filming and production of prequels is undoubtedly feasible.

Murphy and George Martin talked a few times. After the end of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones", the intention to start planning the prequel was basically agreed, and the intricate history of Westeros was initially sorted out. , I hope to find a story with development potential.

Of course, it can only be said that the matter is still in the preliminary negotiation stage. Murphy and George Martin are only exploring certain periods, and it is impossible to point out a specific period and time, and then make a decision on the forehead and say "Let's do this." .

At the same time, Kara-Fiss will seek all available resources from Twentieth Century Fox and Fox Cable Network, and leave these to the crew of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones".

This kind of thing is also in a hurry. Murphy and George Martin have basically reached an agreement, and there will naturally be professional personnel responsible for follow-up. After he concluded the negotiation with George Martin, he accepted an interview on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine.

Just after the New Year in 2010, Murphy in a suit and leather shoes appeared on the cover and title page of Vanity Fair at the same time as his report.

Becoming the cover character of the first issue of "Vanity Fair" will naturally attract a lot of attention, and it also means that Murphy has launched the final sprint to the Oscar nomination that has already opened the vote.

"Some people are Hollywood darlings. I never feel that I belong to this category. I feel like a blue-collar. I am willing to double the effort. Compared to others, I don't have so much room for maneuver."

This is the words that appear together with Murphy's image on the cover, and it is also the original words of Murphy when he was interviewed.

On the title page after the cover is an article about Murphy written by Vanity Fair's editor-in-chief Tina Brown.

"Film is not only an art, but also a business. It is of course a good thing if a film can be well received, but making a film must be commercially successful and must make investors profitable."

At the beginning of the article, she quoted Murphy’s original words, “Only by gaining the trust of investors can you continue to get opportunities to shoot the movies you really want to shoot.”

What follows is Tina Brown's description of Murphy as she knows it.

"Murphy Stanton, who was born in Los Angeles, grew up in a slum, and has experienced a teenager like street gangsters. This makes the casual, self-confident and somewhat unruly personality rooted in Murphy’s character. In our interview At that time, he flashed a unique charm. With the growth of age, the once rebellious teenager has transformed into modesty and determination. These two qualities have been throughout his career as an actor."

"When talking about the experience after entering the film industry,'effort' and'persistence' have become the most common words on Murphy Stanton's lips."

"Now it seems that the Hollywood director who has just passed the age of 30 has a protracted battle in the film industry that can be described as a'big victory'. After years of hard work and perseverance, Murphy Stanton was promoted to Hollywood. One of the most cost-effective directors."

"Murphy Stanton, whose director career is getting wider and wider, does not plan to take a break in the next few years: "I never relax my guard. I always feel that I am an outsider and I want to try to break into this circle, so I I have been working hard. The more successful I am, the more motivated I will continue to work hard.'"

After the title page, it is the official page of this issue of Vanity Fair. Among all the pages, the content about Murphy is still at the forefront.

"Murphy Stanton has given the audience a new possibility, a broad space for film lovers, a new way of showing off skills for movie fans, and a new style, logic, and even way of thinking for commercial films! "

For Murphy’s interview, "Vanity Fair" did not adopt the traditional question-and-answer method. Instead, it used profile description. In addition to the content that has been reported many times, it also highlighted Murphy as the director. Discover the abilities of actors.

"Every newcomer actor will shine in Murphy Stanton's hands."

"When Jessica Alba and Murphy Stanton collaborated for the first time, she was only twenty years old. Before that, her inherent image was a beautiful and youthful vase. The wonderful moment is right here, Murphy- Stanton focused on discovering this point of Jessica Alba, and then created the role of Nancy in the classic "Sin City", and made Jessica Alba's acting path suddenly open and become One of the representative figures of Hollywood actresses born in the 1980s."

"When Christopher Waltz appeared in "Shameless Bastard", he was in his fifties, but he was still unknown. When Murphy Stanton was casting the cast, he emphasized a sentence:'What others don’t need may not be inappropriate. We!'An Oscar for best supporting actor was born!"

"For Yu Jessica Alba and Christopher Waltz, Murphy Stanton is not only a director who praised them, but also a teacher who instructed them how to be themselves."

"Murphy Stanton has a pair of unique eyes. Similarly, the actors who come out of his movies have double moving eyes, either pure or bright. He believes that the two most important principles of performance are relaxation. And focus. Only by being relaxed and focused in acting can he show his true charm, that is the best state."

"Many Hollywood stars admit that it is the dream of every actor to participate in the works directed by Murphy Stanton, and they hope to have the opportunity to participate in the works directed by Murphy through their own efforts."

With the launch of this issue of Vanity Fair, Murphy appeared in the eyes of more Oscar judges. Although the production style is destined to not everyone chooses to vote for him, as long as more people can vote. When I think of him, that's enough.

Of course, compared to the interviews received, there is still a lot of content in Vanity Fair that has not been written.

For example, in an interview with Murphy, he said that actors need to support each other in acting. Robbery is a very bad habit.

Acting has never been a simple and easy job, let alone just picking an actor to do it. Acting requires mutual support.

Murphy always believes that using PK to talk about actors is a very bad and relatively negative energy. The most typical one is that each other has to trust and support each other in acting. If one party's performance is too weak, the whole scene will be out of balance, thus It will also have a negative effect on yourself.

However, in Hollywood, if one does not compete, one may never get ahead. This is the reality.

But if you ask Murphy what is a good actor and what is a good acting team, he will not hesitate to say that if an actor deliberately robs and suppresses the show, he will talk to him...

After entering 2010, "The Wolf of Wall Street" continued to be shown in North America, and in order to hit the Oscar nominations list, it also maintained a high number of theaters.

By the end of January, after two months of long screenings, the film’s North American box office totaled more than $226.8 million, successfully entering the top ten of the 2009 North American box office rankings.

However, the entire North American and even the global film market now has only one voice, that is, "Avatar". All other films shown in the same period can only survive in the shadow of this epic monster-level film, and without exception. More serious impact, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is no exception.

Since its release on Thanksgiving holiday, the North American market potential of the film has been consumed little. According to current trends, Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox speculate that the North American box office of this film cannot exceed the US$250 million mark. The fall point may be between 230 million U.S. dollars and 240 million U.S. dollars.

The impact of "Avatar" is not only the North American market, but also other overseas markets. After the overseas box office of "The Wolf of Wall Street" has exceeded 200 million US dollars, it has also been suppressed in overseas theaters. Will the final global box office exceed The $500 million mark is still unknown.

Of course, in Murphy's view, as long as the film can get multiple heavyweight Oscar nominations, driven by the Oscar effect, the global box office of "The Wolf of Wall Street" will have a great chance of exceeding $500 million.
