Now that he accepted the request of Warner Bros., Murphy will certainly not miss the premiere of "Batman vs. Superman", so he flew to New York where the North American premiere was held.

Since the talk with Warner Bros. because of the reward, apart from knowing that Warner and DC have hired Zach Schneider to take over the DC series, Murphy has not continued to pay attention to it, but learned that Warner Bros. chose "Batman vs. Superman". He sighed secretly, he wanted to correct the way of DC movies, but the other party stubbornly returned to the old way.

And he really couldn't understand, the current DC series and Marvel series started almost at the same time, why is it so urgent?

Perhaps, Warner Bros. and DC Comics want to prove that without Murphy Stanton, DC superhero movies can still be extremely successful.

This is Murphy's own random guess, of course it is not accurate, but Warner Bros. and DC Comics did not take the step-by-step plan he originally made. It is indeed true.

Because I was busy with Oscar public relations before, and after Oscar public relations was preparing the script and plan of the new project, Murphy did not participate in the trial screening of "Batman v Superman", but judging from the news on the market, the reputation of the trial screening seems to be quite good. , The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is as high as 100%, and the seven media participating in the preview have all given praise. IMDB's score is temporarily 9.4.

Even Warner's media are still advocating zero negative reviews for this film.

All this is like the situation before the release of the movie "Batman v Superman" in Murphy's memory.

The reputation of the previous film in the trial screening before it was released was nothing short of unremarkable, and the fans who participated in the trial screening were even more critical. What was the result?

Before heading to the Lincoln Center for the Arts, Murphy deliberately watched the trailer for "Batman v Superman". This film appeared in advance because of his participation and was affected by his participation, with a strong and typical Zach Schneider style. Although the lack of Wonder Woman has caused many changes, it is not difficult to find Zach Schneider's deep-rooted personal style.

For die-hard comics fans, Zach Schneider is always the best adaptation director, but for passersby, Zach Schneider’s adaptation friendliness is too bad.

Arriving at the Lincoln Center, Murphy walked on the red carpet. Today's premiere is huge, and the atmosphere on the scene can be called fanatical. In any case, this is a movie of Superman and Batman, which naturally attracts people's attention.

Murphy knew that he was not the protagonist tonight, so he quickly walked across the red carpet and saw Chris Evans and Ben Affleck. The former continued to play Superman Clark Kent, and the latter played Batman Bruce. Wayne.

Although Murphy wanted to enter the theater directly after passing the red carpet, the media area set up in front of the theater was a must to pass, and it was impossible for those media reporters to let him go.

A reporter came up and asked loudly, "Director Stanton, why did you withdraw from DC's superhero series?"

Murphy shrugged slightly, "Because I have other films to make."

"What do you think of Zach Schneider taking over this series?" another reporter asked.

"Zach Schneider is a very good director." Murphy's answer was perfect, "I believe he will bring us a wonderful superhero movie."

After that, he ignored the other questions thrown by these reporters and went straight to the theater.

When approaching the entrance of the theater, there was a rapid sound of high-heeled shoes from behind, and it seemed that someone was chasing after him.

"Hi, Murphy."

Hearing the familiar voice, Murphy turned his head and looked at. Margot Robbie, wearing a goose yellow evening gown, had already walked over.

This can also be regarded as my friend, or Gal Gadot's best friend, Murphy nodded and said with a smile, "When did you arrive, Maggie, I didn't expect to see you here."

Margot Robbie walked up to Murphy, took his arm courteously, and walked towards the theater together, explaining as he walked, "Did you not hear? Warner Bros. and DC Comics are preparing to set up a project for the suicide squad." ."

"Are you interested in this project?" Murphy immediately understood what she meant.

"Yeah." Margot Robbie nodded, and didn't need to hide it from Murphy, and said directly, "My agent suggested that I get the role of Harley Quinn."

Murphy glanced at her, "Well, you are very suitable for this role."

Entering the front hall of the theater, Margot Robbie just remembered and asked, "Has Gail come back yet?"

"I came back in February and went back again." Murphy said simply, "She has something to deal with at home and will stay in Israel for a while."

Margot Robbie looked at Murphy and asked, "It won't be her parents..."

As a best friend, she knows some things about Gal Gadot, including her parents' hope that she can stay and develop in Tel Aviv.

"No." Murphy shook his head. "It's business."

Just as Murphy was talking to Margot Robbie, a man walked over and greeted very politely, "Hi, Murphy, it's been a long time."

"Hello, Bruce." Murphy shook his right hand stretched out. "It's been a long time indeed."

The person who came over was Bruce Rosenblum, the CEO of Warner Bros., who had worked with him on Man of Steel.

Thinking of Margot Robbie preparing to fight for the role of Harley Quinn, Murphy then introduced Bruce Rosenblum, "This is my friend, Margot Robbie."

"Hello, Miss Robbie." Bruce Rosenblum and Margot Robbie shook hands lightly. "Your role as Sansa Stark is very impressive."

Margot Robbie immediately made a look of surprise, "Thank you, it's an honor for you to watch this show."

Bruce Rosenblum was only looking at Murphy’s face, and he exchanged a greeting with a little-known actor, then turned his face and said to Murphy, "Your "Man of Steel" gives We have created a very good situation. This film by Zach Schneider is almost seamlessly connected to the "Man of Steel"."

"Really?" Murphy didn't say much. "Then I'll take a good look at this movie."

"You can watch it as many times as you want." Bruce Rosenblum was somewhat contented, "Warner Bros. can give you free tickets."

Murphy shook his head, "That's not enough."

Bruce Rosenblum pointed to the door of the theater, "I have other people to greet, you are free."

Seeing Murphy nodding his head, he turned and walked towards the entrance of the theater, turning his head slightly in the middle to look at it, and seeing Murphy talking and laughing with Margot Robbie, he was a little disappointed.

The partner that Warner Bros wanted most at the time was Murphy Stanton, but the price he offered was too high. Twelve-five percent of the film’s total revenue was shared, which is simply too ridiculous. That way, Warner Bros. Almost half of the profits will be paid to him.

No one in Hollywood is willing to pay such a high price for a director, so he chose to give up, and then look for a new director. After multiple recommendations, he found a Zach Schneider with the style most similar to Murphy Stanton, and the other party The pay is cheap enough.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Zach Schneider has done quite well. Warner Bros. has organized a trial show for **** fans of DC comics. Nearly a thousand fans of the comics have no bad reviews. Let him and Warner’s senior executives, There are more expectations for this "Batman v Superman".

If the film is successful, it can pull the entire DC superhero series from the shadows of Murphy Stanton and "Man of Steel", and it can also prove that the choice between him and Warner Bros. is correct.

As long as the box office and word of mouth explode, all this is not a problem.

We greeted some people who were there, Murphy entered the theater, Margot Robbie also followed, and changed seats with the person next to Murphy and sat on his left.

"Murphy."

The film hasn't started screening yet, Margot Robbie asked, "What do you think of this film?"

"How would I know?" Murphy opened his hand. "I didn't attend the Warner Bros. screening. How can I know if the film is good or bad if I haven't watched it."

Margot Robbie shrugged. "I thought you had seen it."

Soon, the movie began to be screened, similar to Murphy’s memory. The movie started with Batman’s perspective. The absolute protagonist in "Man of Steel" inevitably became Batman’s supporting role. In fact, this is nothing, but After watching for a while, he could only shake his head.

This "Batman vs. Superman" is definitely not a bad movie. It's still a long way from Hollywood's super bad movie, but like the previous one, no matter how you look at it, this one directed by Zach Schneider The films are all for DC comic fans.

It is not a popular and diversified commercial film at all, nor is it an easy-to-understand work. Another reason is that a lot of things have been deleted from the editing. Even so, it is still too informative, even if it is roughly seen by Murphy. People in comics sometimes get trapped and can’t digest them in time...

Indeed, the movie itself is personalized, especially the Zach Schneider in Murphy's impression has always had his own style. Perhaps fans think that he has restored the comics very well in this way, and the dark style is just right.

But the problem is that as the first few parts of a whole series, it can be said to be a foundation work. The foundation works are not used to attract fans, but only to please the old fans. For the production company, this is really nothing. Problem?

Another point is that the film’s tempo is too slow and the plot is too long. Now is the information age of over-tempo. Such a tempo is almost destined to make it unacceptable for many audiences who have adapted to the fast-paced life.

"puff……"

In the final part of Batman vs. Superman, Margot Robbie beside Murphy couldn't help laughing anymore, and then there were more exaggerated laughter in the theater.

This is a dark and heavy film without any jokes. It makes people laugh. What does that mean?
