Hollywood Road

? Although due to the relationship of the times, many previous stalks cannot be used, but in Murphy's plan, the tone of the film will not change. "Deadpool" must not only satisfy fans of the original comics, but also please mainstream audiences. It is necessary to break the fourth wall from time to time and shout directly to the audience, while laughing at the concept of superheroes, while not forgetting to make jokes about celebrities and all kinds of messy events in North America.

In Murphy’s sub-camera sketch, you can see Deadpool using lip balm shortly after the opening scene, because there is a famous stalk in the “Deadpool” comics, he put a Band-Aid on Wolverine, which can be said to be full of affection .

Like Robert Downey Jr. mentioned about him and Leonardo DiCaprio, now that the actors have changed, those references to the Green Lantern Corps are of course useless, but Robert Downey Jr. is totally fine Tease yourself in the video.

The previous bed. The joke is a joke on the "Star Wars" series. There will be such a scene in the script. When Deadpool and Vanessa are making out, Vanessa will say that it looks like Master Yoda riding on Luke's back Ride me like that, Wade replied that this is a joke from "Star Wars", the heroine said it was "The Empire Strikes Back".

At this time, on the bed, Jianjian was hugging the heroine Vanessa Carlisler from behind.

Of course, ridicule of other superheroes is also indispensable, such as the little spider who is tied with the other two big mouth guns of surprise.

Also, Murphy accepted James Franco's suggestion to add a bit of Batman.

For example, when Deadpool describes his relationship with the landlady-we are like Batman and Robin, except that she is older and darker, and she still loves me. Wait, I'm pretty sure Robin loves Batman too!

Murphy did not give up the opportunity to laugh at himself. Deadpool will break the fourth wall and directly attack him as a director. For example, there will be many lines such as inexperienced in directing a superhero movie for the first time.

Several people discussed until very late. When Bill Rosses left, he specifically reminded Murphy, "Determine the final draft of the script as soon as possible. The guarantee company has been waiting for it. Our project still needs financing!"

The financing investment method adopted by 20th Century Fox, the completion guarantee is essential.

"I know." Of course Murphy knew this.

After sending these people away, he returned to the backyard. The backyard was not a mess, but there was also a lot of garbage. Gal Gadot was standing by the pool, holding a tong with a long handle, cleaning up the peels that fell on the ground.

"Hey honey."

Murphy let her come over on weekends to relax, not to be his servant, so he hurried over and grabbed the clip from her hand, "Don't worry about it,

People from the housekeeping company will come to clean up tomorrow. "

"Take away these peels first," Gal Gadot picked up the garbage bag next to him, walked to the table, and said while collecting the remaining peels, "The weather is still hot now, and the taste will change tomorrow .”

She turned her head to look at Murphy, "Don't you want our backyard to become a smelly garbage dump."

"Of course not." Murphy also walked over to help.

The two were busy for less than ten minutes. They simply cleaned up the backyard and walked back to the main building together. On the way, Gal Gadot kept his head down and thought, as if he had encountered some troubles.

Gal Gadot first took Murphy to the bathroom on the first floor to wash her hands. When they went upstairs together, Murphy saw her strangeness and couldn't help asking, "Honey, are you worried?"

"I just came to Los Angeles," Gal Gadot complained, "you're leaving."

"I just went to Australia to shoot, and I will be back soon, and I have to wait two months before going there." Murphy took her hand and comforted her in a low voice, "The shooting will take up to two months, weekends and holidays, I Will be back too."

Gal Gadot just complained, knowing Murphy's careerism and admiring him, he immediately shook his head, "I'll go find you then."

Murphy hugged her waist and kissed Gal Gadot's cheek lightly.

In the next two days, after collecting many suggestions, he quickly finished the final draft of the script, and then, together with Kara Firth, met with the people from the completion guarantee company.

In the previous three films, the crew also introduced a completion guarantee, but Murphy is more of a pure director. Apart from knowing the representative of the guarantor stationed in the crew and working with the other party in a fairly harmonious way, there is no I have actually participated in the process of introducing a completion guarantee for the crew, and this time I simply accompanied Kara Firth to complete the work in this area.

In Hollywood, art and science have jointly created the prosperity of this industry. Commercial computing needs the support of science, especially in Hollywood. The discovery and mining of data is a sharp tool for commercial success. Since the birth of Hollywood, market research has begun The establishment, the data accumulated, and the tools evolved from it are the strong foundations of the Hollywood industry.

According to market research, the producer will determine the investment for the film, and then raise funds from outsiders. To ensure the real use of the investment, the investor will inevitably use certain supervision measures. The film completion guarantee system is undoubtedly the most powerful guarantee.

The Hollywood film industry has long since evolved from operating forms and handicrafts to a high-tech era of large-scale industrialization, and the industrialization of production management has naturally emerged as the times require.

The entire Hollywood film production management actually has a text system, and everyone will act in accordance with this production system. The completion guarantee is just what Hollywood needs, and it is a part of the entire production system.

Film production is the starting point of the entire film industry chain, and film completion guarantee is a special division of labor that embodies industrialization in production management.

The "Deadpool" crew introduced the American International Insurance Company. This company provides film completion guarantee services not only for the producer, but also for investment institutions such as banks and funds.

In Hollywood, for all production companies, being able to obtain the support of completion guarantee is the key to financing from banks or funds, and even determines whether overseas distribution companies will provide pre-sale financing to the production company. For distribution companies The confirmation of the completion guarantee means that the film will be delivered to the distribution company on schedule with considerable guarantees, so producers, directors, and other main creators will actively cooperate with the "strict" management of the completion guarantee company before and during the event.

Murphy is no exception, he is used to this kind of system in Hollywood.

When the two parties signed the agreement, it was stipulated that during the filming in Australia, the representatives of the guarantee company in the crew would communicate with Murphy and Kara Firth every day or meet or call to confirm the next day’s shooting plan, and they would arrive the night before. Various departments and personnel of the crew, in order to ensure that the next day's shooting plan is in order, and will not waste time and money.

Of course, not all film projects can be guaranteed by insurance companies, and there are many unreliable Hollywood film projects that die. If a project goes wrong, it will be very troublesome for the insurance company.

Just like Hollywood film companies will review investment projects, every commercial company will not easily give the green light to commercial activities, let alone guarantee a project with just one script.

In order to obtain the support of the American International Insurance Company, so that the crew can pre-sell and finance as soon as possible, Murphy and Kara Firth submitted a series of basic documents to the American International Insurance Company to evaluate the project.

The first is the final script that has been finalized, which is the premise for the crew to shoot.

After submitting the application and confirming the script, unless the director and investors reach a consensus on major changes during the shooting process, only minor changes can be made. Projects like King of Sunglasses that start shooting without a script cannot get a completion guarantee at all. , but the King of Sunglasses came to Hollywood to make a film, and he also needed a script first.

The second is the budget table for online and offline costs. In this regard, Murphy's plan has been formulated, and 20th Century Fox has made some revisions on this basis.

The third is the 20-100-day shooting plan. Too short or too long is not conducive to risk control, and it is more difficult to pass the internal audit of the insurance company.

The general cycle of Hollywood film shooting is between days, so the shooting plan provided is required to be very accurate, so as to ensure the precise operation of the shooting. For investors, the overdue and overspending of the plan may lead to the final financial account of the project. Unrecognizable, of course, means that the investment risk has increased sharply.

Murphy's plan was to finish filming in two months, which was perfectly fine.

Finally, there is the shooting budget.

For the budget statement during the shooting period, the richer the details, the more favorable it is for the completion guarantee company to evaluate the rationality of the project. The completion guarantee company will compare the daily report during the shooting period to supervise the implementation of the project. If there is any change, the completion guarantee company will I will communicate with the producer and director first, how to complete the plan in the rest of the shooting.

However, if the problem is very serious and the conflict is irreconcilable, the completion guarantor will freeze the co-management bank account, or even take over the entire project.

Because Murphy and Kara Firth had prepared very well, and "Deadpool" was a project from 20th Century Fox, the crew soon signed a formal agreement with the American International Insurance Company.

Probably because of his personal participation, it was the first time that Murphy read this agreement very seriously, especially the part that would have a significant impact on him as a director.

During the filming of "Deadpool", the completion guarantee party will send representatives to the crew to supervise on-site. The producer and director team must submit daily reports, crew-related information and the next day's shooting plan, and the completion guarantee party will check whether it is consistent with the plan. Consistent to ensure that the expected goals and settings are carried out.

According to the agreement between the two parties, in order to effectively allow Kara Firth's production department and Murphy's creative department to implement the plan on time and on budget, the completion guarantee company will establish a joint bank account with the crew, and the pre-seller The investment funds from investors and investors will be transferred to the co-management account according to the agreement after the film completion guarantor confirms that the producer has performed the contract.

The American International Insurance Company can not only show transparency, but also use the bank account that actually intervenes to restrict the crew's withdrawal of investment funds. Once Murphy and Kara Firth's overspending or overdue behavior that violates the plan endangers the interests of investors, The completion guarantee party has the right to freeze the account and take over the film in accordance with the completion guarantee agreement, including changing the director and producer to complete the delivery of the film to the distribution company, and bear the expenses required for the completion of the film after taking over, so as to protect the interests of investors.

Of course, this situation is only the bottom line of the completion guarantee agreement, and the completion guarantee party will not exercise it unless it must be triggered.

Formally with this kind of supervision restrictions on producers and crews, Hollywood does not lack a steady stream of investment.

Murphy and Kara Firth seem to have found the Sword of Damocles for their crew, but in fact they have established an investment guarantee. This is a realistic business society, and no one's money is blown by the wind. Investors are not fools. (To be continued.)
