"An excellent sci-fi film, before it is released, I entrust the hopes of everyone in the crew, especially the director. [Indestructible Dragon Emperor]"

Standing on the stage of the Chandler Hall of the Los Angeles Music Center, as the guest of honor, Robert Downey Jr. said a string of words in a serious manner, "The director is very important to a science fiction film. In the 1960s, Hollywood had Stanley Coub Rick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, George Lucas' Star Wars in the seventies, Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future in the eighties, Steven Spielberg's in the nineties "Jurassic Park."

Robert Downey Jr. did not speak fast this time, "In the new century, a large number of excellent science fiction films have emerged, especially in the past year."

He looked down at the card and said, "Sam Raimi from "Spider-Man 3", Michael Bay from "Transformers", Murphy Stanton from "Man of Steel" and "Best Director" from "Spider-Man 3" were nominated for the best director of this year's Saturn Awards. Gore Verbinski in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and Zack Snyder in Three Hundred."

These are all commercial films that sold well at the box office last year. The Saturn Awards have nothing to do with professional reviews and media reputation. They pay more attention to the popularity of the film among the audience, and...whether the nominees will come to accept the award on the spot.

For two films with similar circumstances, if one of the nominees is willing to come to the scene to accept the award, the organizer will basically award the award to him ∠★∠★, x.

In fact, it's not just the Saturn Awards. In North America, awards such as Teen Choice Awards and MTV Movie Awards also have such an unwritten but well-known rule.

The biggest stars of tonight's Saturn Awards Ceremony are Robert Downey Jr. and Michael Douglas, and the biggest director is Murphy. There will be no suspense when walking the red carpet who will win this award.

"The one who won the Saturn Award for Best Director is..." Robert Downey Jr. opened the envelope and took a look, opened his mouth wide, and said with a smile, "Murphy Stanton! Congratulations, Murphy!"

He raised his hands on the stage and clapped vigorously, and the applause below the stage also sounded at the same time. [Gate of Mysterious Realm]

Regardless of whether there are other reasons for the award, Murphy deserves the title of best director for "Man of Steel" in the eyes of most people.

"Man of Steel" brought not only a high box office, but also a high reputation, as well as a depth and thickness that previous superhero movies did not have.

"Murphy Stanton has proven to Hollywood that black style can also be sold worldwide."

Below the stage, a senior executive of Sony Columbia Pictures said to another person, "Heavy themes can make superhero movies have a more charming temperament. Can commercial movies also be considered to be produced in this way, such as the new "007" series And the Spider-Man series we're planning to reboot?"

The person nodded, "I think it's feasible. Just look at Murphy Stanton's current style, and you'll know how many fans in North America and the world like this style."

Amidst the warm applause, Murphy stood up and walked towards the stage. On the stage, he first hugged Robert Downey Jr., then took the trophy and stood in front of the microphone.

"It's a great pleasure to stand here. This award is the greatest affirmation of my work last year, thank you!"

After saying the routine thank you, it was time for commercials, which is why Murphy attended the award ceremony, "The support of fans is always the most proud thing for a director. You have recognized "Man of Steel", I hope you will Then I can also approve "Inglourious Basterds"!"

He raised the trophy and left the last sentence, "Thank you."

Regardless of the audience's reaction, Murphy turned around and walked to Robert Downey Jr., led by the staff, walked out of the stage and came backstage. [Gate of Mysterious Realm]

Except for some unspoken things, he and Robert Downey Jr. attended the Saturn Awards Ceremony for publicity.

Murphy was promoting "Inglourious Basterds," which will be released soon,

Robert Downey Jr. is running an announcement for the upcoming "Iron Man" disc and Blu-ray DVD.

Like the two of them, in most cases, big-name actors and directors have more than pure motives in attending such awards.

Because they didn't have much interest in the awards ceremony itself, Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. entered the backstage and were not in a hurry to go out. Moreover, the organizer arranged a routine interview event. After simply dealing with the reporters, the two stood in the interview area We chatted.

Speaking of attending together, Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. did not come to the awards ceremony at the same time. When they walked the red carpet, they followed the arrangement of the organizer, with many people separated in between.

"Man of Steel has been pulled from Gibraltar, where it was last screened?"

Seeing Murphy nodding, Robert Downey Jr. asked concerned, "How much is the global box office in the end, is it more than 1.2 billion US dollars?"

Murphy shook his head. In the last few markets where "Man of Steel" was released, the countries with the largest populations were all less than one million people. How could there be a box office explosion?

"You're overestimating the volume of these small markets." He patted Robert Downey Jr.'s arm lightly, "The final global box office is still far from $1.2 billion, only $1.13247 billion."

"That's it..." Robert Downey Jr. said deliberately, "I'm still waiting for you to surpass that old bastard James Cameron."

Murphy shrugged, "The only person who can surpass James Cameron is probably himself."

How many directors are willing to spend years researching and experimenting with new technologies for a film like James Cameron? Anyway, he couldn't do it himself.

After chatting for a while, the two left the interview area and were about to return to Chandler Hall. When they turned into the passage next to it, Robert Downey Jr. seemed to have spotted a familiar figure. Pulled Murphy.

"What's wrong?" Murphy asked suspiciously.

"I wanted to wait until the award ceremony was over, but I didn't expect to meet it now..." Robert Downey Jr. swayed his chin to the interview area, "Michael Douglas is here."

Murphy didn't say much, but pointed to Robert Downey Jr. a surveillance camera facing here in the distance.

"Don't worry." Robert Downey Jr. took a deep breath, "I've endured it for a few years, I'm not that impulsive."

Standing here, Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. waited for a few minutes, when the clear sound of leather shoes landing, Michael Douglas in a gray suit turned from the passage door.

Michael Douglas obviously didn't expect that there were people in the passage, and when he saw the faces of Murphy and Robert Downey Jr., he couldn't help but froze.

Robert Downey Jr. looked at Michael Douglas, and Michael Douglas looked at Robert Downey Jr.

Michael Douglas didn't even look at Murphy, probably because he didn't want to provoke Murphy, so he walked five feet in front of Robert Downey Jr., and suddenly laughed.

"Donnie, how many years have we not seen each other?" His smile seemed to have a meaning, "The last time we talked face to face like this was before you went to prison... Oh, yes, why didn't you notify me when you got out of prison? Look at The two of us..."

He suddenly emphasized his tone, "For the sake of deep friendship, I will pick you up."

Robert Downey Jr. looked at Michael Douglas, but did not immediately fight back.

"Oh, that's right." Michael Douglas made no secret of his distaste for the surname Downey, "Mr. Downey, an addict, I heard that you have successfully rehabilitated drugs. This is definitely not true..."

"Of course I am not as serious as when your mother put a green hat on your father." Robert Downey Jr. finally counterattacked. He spoke so fast that Michael Douglas could hear him clearly, "Maybe you I also don’t understand the meaning of the green hat, in Chinatown, it’s used to describe a woman messing around with other people behind her husband’s back…”

Before Michael Douglas could react, Robert Downey Jr. continued, "At that time, Mrs. Douglas was beautiful and charming, and she was the top socialite in Hollywood."

What this term describes in Hollywood is clear to everyone present.

"Your father paid a terrible price..." Michael Douglas squeezed out a sentence sinisterly, but before he finished speaking, he was robbed by Robert Downey Jr. again.

He shrugged playfully, "I can tell you very responsibly that old Robert Downey is still reminiscing about Mrs. Glass."

In the past, Murphy didn't know much about the grievances between the Douglas family and the Downey family, but now he gradually understands that it seems that the old Robert Downey made a mistake first, and then Kirk Douglas took revenge. Not enough to relieve his anger, he teamed up with Michael Douglas to make a layout, and cheated Robert Downey Jr. together.

Of course, this is just speculation, and he doesn't bother to know what's going on.

Is it important to know cause and effect? So what if it was old Robert Downey who made the mess in the first place? Murphy has always been very clear that his best friend and brother is called Robert Downey Jr., not Douglas.

It is very simple to determine a position in this shitty thing in Hollywood, and that is kinship.

However, watching Robert Downey Jr. and Michael Douglas argue with each other, Murphy has no intention of helping him from the beginning to the end. If Robert Downey Jr. can't win Michael Douglas in a war of words, all these years of talking about it are really in vain.

Moreover, Murphy always believes that action is the real lethality compared to talking about it.

As for Kirk Douglas, one of the focus of their talk, Murphy knew that he was the top powerful figure in Hollywood back then, not to mention the old Robert Downey, even Stanley Kubrick dared not provoke him.

But that year is not now after all.

(These of Downey and Douglas are all for the plot, don't take it too seriously.) (To be continued.)
