"Have you finalized the director?" Murphy flipped through it for a while and asked again, "Do you have a script?"

"The director is basically confirmed, it should be Ridley Scott," Kara Firth returned to her desk, rummaged for a while, came over with a script, and handed it to Murphy, "This It’s the first version of the script, and it hasn’t been finalized yet. Bayi \u003cNovel Network])]??]]”

After she sat down, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What? Are you interested in this project?"

"This isn't your project, is it?" Murphy wasn't polite. He opened the script and looked through it. Many fragments were basically similar to what he remembered.

"How could this kind of project fall on my head?" Kara Firth shook her head, "This is a project promoted by department director Dave Scola."

Murphy roughly flipped through the script and returned it to Kara Firth, "A Little Blacksmith's Journey to the Crusade..."

"You think there's something wrong with this project?" Kara Firth knew Murphy.

"No one knows if there is a problem," Murphy said, shaking his head, "But don't you think that since the success of the "Gladiator" and "Lord of the Rings" series, Hollywood has followed suit with too many big-budget epic films? Every time there’s a follow-up like this in Hollywood, there’s always a bunch of unlucky ones.”

"It seems... that's true." Kara Firth thought for a while, "As far as I know, the epic films with an investment of 150 million US dollars include "Alexander the Great", "Troy", "King Arthur", and this projects, and they are all released in a year or two..."

"Is it easy to cause aesthetic fatigue?" Bill Rossis took over the conversation.

"No one can say for sure about this kind of thing," Murphy spread his hands, "but judging from Hollywood's past situation, it's very possible."

When he saw these materials just now, he had an idea, otherwise he would not have asked Kara Firth, and then he said, "I heard that Dave Scola is a person who likes to interfere in the projects he leads very much?"

Kara Firth nodded, "Yes, he is very strong."

"Even if the director is Ridley Scott, presumably he won't give the right to the final editing?" Seeing Kara Firth nodding again, Murphy raised his chin and said, "Karla, with your means, it doesn't matter. It shouldn’t be difficult for Dave Scola to intervene in this crew, right? You also know that Ridley Scott’s level is unstable, and he always succeeds one time and one fails. If someone intervenes..."

"I think so too,

"Kara Firth laughed, and it really was Murphy who had the most tacit understanding with her, "Otherwise, why would I look for these materials. "

Hearing these words, Bill Rossis looked at Murphy and then at Kara Firth. These two people were exactly the same, especially Kara Firth, who completely disregarded the interests of Twentieth Century Fox and used A large investment project, wanting to seek personal gain for oneself.

But he didn't say anything. Anyone who wants to advance to a higher place has to face fierce competition. In commercial companies, this kind of legal competition is too common.

"Bill," Murphy said suddenly, "remember Mike?"

"Huh?" Bill Rossis was a little puzzled, not knowing what Murphy had mentioned to him, "Is this related to Mike?"

"This project hasn't been prepared yet." Murphy said flatly, "You can find a way to bring him in."

Kara Firth looked at Murphy, "This Mike has conflicts with you?"

"He's looking for a private investigator to investigate me," Murphy said vaguely. "It's the news I gave you at the beginning, and it may be the driving force behind the last investigation of "Sin City" by the Directors' Union. But we don't have any evidence, so let's take it for now. He can't help it."

"Want to investigate us?" Kara Firth put on a sneer, "He's too naive."

There are too many shady things in the media industry. Compared with Hollywood, there are definitely a lot more, but few of them have been exposed. All companies have a tacit understanding in this regard, they will guarantee their own secrets, and they will also protect the news producers. **, otherwise the work in this line cannot be carried out at all.

"You mean, drag him into this project," Bill Rosses gradually understood, "and then we try to drag this project down?"

"It's not us." Murphy raised a finger and shook it lightly, "It's Dave Scola."

He believes that Kara Firth has such abilities and means, and he also knows how she does things by unscrupulous means to achieve her goals.

The three discussed again, and then the topic returned to the right track.

"I was ruthlessly rejected by DC Comics and Warner Bros." Murphy and Kara Firth said without being polite, "so I can only come back to you."

"Or Marvel Comics? Which character do you like?" Kara Firth was also very direct, "X-Men? Or Fantastic Four?"

"X-Men!" Murphy stopped talking nonsense and said, "Didn't I tell you? The X-Men can be split and filmed."

"Do you want to make Wolverine? Or Magneto? Or Professor X's independent film?" Bill Rossis didn't know which superhero Murphy had his eyes on.

Murphy shook his head, "Not these, Dave Scola can't let Carla get these first-line roles. What I want is Wade Wilson, Deadpool!"

Kara Firth thought for a while before remembering this character, "That chatter?"

"That's right, the talk in X-Men is outrageous," Murphy asked Kara Firth, "he can only be regarded as a second-line character in X-Men now, can you win his movie copyright?"

Bill Rossis looked at Murphy, it shouldn't be a whim, and he didn't interfere.

Hearing Murphy's question, Kara Firth didn't answer. After pondering for a while, she nodded, "Leave the copyright to me!"

Now it is different from the past. She persuaded Murphy to stay in the journalism industry before, but after four films, she already has enough confidence in his talent and ability in film.

The combination of the two in the news industry once caused turmoil in the entire Greater Los Angeles area. Kara Firth believes that they can also succeed in the film industry.

However, if you want to win the copyright, you can't just rely on your mouth. Kara Firth said, "You always have to give me a script, a plan, and convince the people above."

Murphy nodded and said, "Give me ten days."

Agreeing on the most important thing, Murphy left the Fox Building and asked Bill Rosses to send him back to the Stanton studio in Santa Monica to start preparing the scripts and plans that Kara Firth needed.

Due to the relatively short time since its establishment, the popularity of Deadpool now cannot be compared with ten years later, but among the superheroes of Marvel Comics, it is definitely a very different and special existence.

His abilities are pretty outrageous because of the two biggest differences between him and other heroes.

First of all, he is a very, very talkative character. If you read the "Deadpool" series of comics, it will give people the illusion that you are not reading a comic at all, but reading a pure text novel. He said a lot of things that were wrong and messed up.

This is because in the setting of Deadpool, he loves to talk nonsense very much, relying on his ability to not die, he talks nonsense all day long, which makes many heroes stay away from him, which can be seen from his poisonous tongue.

Another difference is that Deadpool knows that he is in the world of comics, so Deadpool is in a state of "everyone is drunk and I am alone".

Also, Deadpool himself likes to enjoy himself very much, so he likes money very much, and he always talks about "as long as you give money". Who does he work for—in fact, he has saved humans many times in his series, but many decent heroes don’t want to admit it, and Deadpool himself doesn’t care about it—so his reputation is very bad in the hero world, but it doesn’t It doesn't affect his nonsense.

If you make a movie, among all the abilities of Deadpool, the most important thing is actually talking.

Therefore, it is very important to find a talkative actor to play the leading role of Deadpool. If the two complement each other, it will greatly increase the charm of the character and the film.

In fact, now is not the best time to make this movie. The popularity of this alternative superhero movie is not unrelated to the aesthetic fatigue caused by many routine superhero movies. When the superheroes with "greater responsibility and greater responsibility" are a little tired, a superhero with "greater ability and less responsibility" can bring them a different kind of movie-watching excitement.

Nowadays, only "X-Men" and "Spider-Man" are the only amazing hero movies that are really popular. It is not the era when Marvel heroes are flying all over the big screen. Murphy knows very well that the completion of this movie now will inevitably be affected to a certain extent.

From the success of "Spider-Man", we can also see the mainstream aesthetics in the current market. Peter Parker himself is also a talker, and he is tied with Deadpool. However, under the demand of the market, it has become a type of "great hatred and deep suffering", and it has widely spread the concept of "the greater the ability, the less responsible".

However, Murphy has been working in Hollywood for several years, and he is also very clear that films like "Deadpool", full of humor and large-scale pictures, have never lacked audiences in North America, perhaps because of time and environment. Regardless, the film will not be as popular as it used to be, but as long as the production quality and publicity are guaranteed, there is not much problem in selling well.

Moreover, such a film does not require a high investment, and the pressure to return costs and make profits is relatively small.

After the successive setbacks of Marvel Comics and DC Comics, Murphy wanted to enter the mainstream film industry, and he didn't have many choices if he wanted to be a hit.

In order for Kara Firth to win the right to adapt, a good enough script and proposal must be obtained. In the following time, Murphy put almost all his energy into over here.

The script of Deadpool he wants is completely different from the typical movie script, the latter is based on the story, but the former is based on the character! (To be continued.)
