Since it will land in overseas markets on a large scale this weekend, according to the publicity plan formulated by 20th Century Fox, Murphy needs to take the main members of the crew to Europe to participate in some publicity and promotion in important cities in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Spain Activity.

Twentieth Century Fox specially provided the crew with a private business jet, which carried the crew around Europe.

Gal Gadot drove Murphy to a private tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport early Tuesday morning.

"If there is something you can't solve, remember to call me."

When Murphy got out of the car, he kissed Gal Gadot's lips vigorously, and Gal Gadot nodded slightly, "I will."

She will not participate in the overseas promotion of the crew, but plans to go back to Israel and go to Tel Aviv to see how her mother is doing.

Waving goodbye to Gal Gadot, Murphy had just boarded the plane when the phone rang.

Picking up the phone, a relatively unfamiliar voice rang through the receiver. The voice said a few words very politely, and then introduced himself. Murphy figured out his origin. The new co-chairman and director of 20th Century Fox CEO James Murdoch, the youngest son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and Kara Firth's high school classmate.

A long time ago, he heard Kara Firth mention that she and James Murdoch were high school classmates, and she also got the support of the other party when she entered 20th Century Fox, and the reason why James Murdoch supported her was to be in the Twentieth Century Fox cultivates its own team, so that it can smoothly control Twentieth Century Fox in the future.

Even if Murphy doesn't know much about the news media industry, he knows that the print media is gradually declining. He also heard from Kara Firth that Rupert Murdoch has been trying to split News Corporation into Fox and Paper in recent years. Mass media should be divided into two parts, lest the latter slow down the development of the former.

In any big family, the competition for succession rights is probably very fierce. Since James Murdoch is recognized by the outside world as the most suitable successor to Rupert Murdoch, he must also have certain abilities. Twentieth Century Fox, which is composed of high-quality assets such as online media, Fox TV network and film and television production department, is more valuable.

If Murphy himself were in the position of James Murdoch and engaged in such a battle for assets, he would also consider winning 20th Century Fox first, and then plan for the rest of News Corporation.

However, according to normal circumstances, shouldn't James Murdoch be in the UK? Then until the 'Bugginggate' scandal took the blame and resigned...

"Holding a party in a while?" Thoughts were running wild in his head, but Murphy didn't stop talking, "Of course, I will definitely go to it."

James Murdoch personally called to invite him to attend a party held some time ago. The other party was the new co-chairman and CEO of 20th Century Fox. Of course, Murphy had no reason to refuse.

After hanging up the phone, under the guidance of the flight attendant, he came to his seat and sat down. Murphy was still thinking about James Murdoch.

The youngest son of Rupert Murdoch, like Kara Firth, often uses unscrupulous means to achieve his goals. Many of the British "tapping gates" may have been personally instructed by him, such as wiretapping Prince William and the British government. It is impossible for the reporters below to make their own claims about the royal family, and there must be support from the highest level of News Corporation.

Murphy does not reject such a person, but James Murdoch is not Kara Firth after all, and he must be reserved when dealing with him.

Why did he return to North America from England now?

This is what Murphy was curious about, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it might be because Kara Firth had influenced James Murdoch.

After all, he vaguely remembered that in the past, James Murdoch was forced to resign due to the "tapping gate", and then lay dormant for several years before he took charge of Twentieth Century Fox.

Murphy shook his head lightly. Who knows how these things changed? After all, the world is constantly moving forward.

"Hi, Murphy."

The voice of greeting sounded, Murphy looked up and saw Margot Robbie sitting opposite, nodded to her, and said, "Are you obsessed with suits?"

I vaguely remember that Margot Robbie seldom wore skirts since the shooting of Jay Rachel. She always wore a well-fitting lady suit like Jay Rachel, looking very smart and capable .

"I have good news for you." Margot Robbie deliberately winked at Murphy, "I met Natalie Portman yesterday."

Without even thinking about it, Murphy asked, "Did you go to provoke?"

He knew Margot Robbie ten years ago. After she came to Hollywood, she was basically the same as David Robbie. Her career basically revolved around the Stanton studio, and she was best friends with Gal Gadot , so Murphy still knows her better.

Now Margot Robbie looks like a beautiful, generous, shrewd, and capable girl, but in fact, she still has the wildness of the Australian cowgirl in her childhood.

She is extroverted, unlike Gal Gadot, who is a bit introverted. Since she met Natalie Portman and still has a certain amount of capital, it would be strange not to jump out to find trouble.

"It's not provocative!" Margot Robbie lowered her voice and said, "I'm just discussing the gap with her and telling her the gap between her and you."

Murphy rolled his eyes, "You're boring enough."

"Hey!" Margot Robbie's eyes widened, "Aren't we bad people? How can bad people not do bad things?"

As soon as these words came out, Murphy was speechless and didn't bother to talk to her anymore.

Just in time, the flight attendant came over and reminded them to fasten their seat belts, the plane was about to take off.

After the plane entered a stable flight state, Henry Cavill suddenly walked over.

"What's the matter, Henry?" Murphy looked at him and asked.

Henry Cavill scratched his head and said with a smile, "Nothing special, just want to say thank you."

"You're welcome." Murphy shook his head, "You deserve it."

"Really, Murphy." Henry Cavill said sincerely, "I am very grateful that you chose me."

Facing such a smiling person, Murphy was also quite polite, "You also proved that I did not choose the wrong person."

Henry Cavill laughed a few times, said some polite words to Murphy, and returned to his seat.

Margot Robbie looked at Henry Cavill, then at Murphy, and said, "Should I also thank you specifically?"

"No need." Murphy said directly, "We are friends, so there is no need to say such polite words."

After chatting with Margot Robbie for a few words, Murphy took the materials he carried with him, checked the latest developments of the film, and at the same time passed the boring journey.

Yesterday’s Monday ushered in the first working day after it was released in North America. Thanks to the previous topic hype and good word-of-mouth, the film’s decline was relatively ideal, with a single-day harvest of 9.5 million US dollars, although it fell below 10 million US dollars. , but it is also a good result.

There is no such a stable trend. Affected by poor word of mouth, the single-day box office of this film on Monday plummeted by more than 70% compared with last Sunday, and only received more than 3.4 million US dollars.

Many box office forecasting agencies have also released the latest box office forecasts, most of which believe that the final box office in North America will be difficult to break through 150 million US dollars.

At the same time, these agencies predict that as long as the box office does not decline sharply this weekend, it will not be difficult for the North American box office to exceed US$200 million, and it may even hit the US$250 million mark.

Murphy is very clear that the second weekend in North America is quite critical, and now it will basically not be threatened by the second weekend, and it has never caused much trouble. The real threat is the new movie released this weekend.

Under normal circumstances, the first week of the summer file will consume quite a lot of enthusiasm accumulated by fans. The second weekend of the summer file is not a good time, just like choosing the first week of the summer file. There are very few super masterpieces in Hollywood. It will be released on the second weekend.

However, according to the information Murphy saw, a film still caught his attention. The film released by Universal Pictures will be released this weekend. This is a standard summer comedy. Yes, there has never been a lack of market, and the producer of the film is Judd Apatow.

That is, the leader of the Apatow Party, another Hollywood team-fighting organization.

In today's Hollywood, it is recognized that there are three organizations that are relatively united and like to fight in groups. They are Murphy's own Stanton Party, Judd Apatow's Apatow Party, and Ben Stiller's Rotten Party. Aberdeen.

The films produced by these three groups have always achieved good commercial results.

It's also the only film that Murphy has seen this weekend that has a real chance of doing well at the box office.

However, this film is completely different from the audience, and there will be no direct competition between the two releases.

Compared to that, Murphy is more concerned about the performance in overseas markets, after all, his overseas performance of films has not been particularly good.

The plane arrived in London smoothly. As soon as Murphy and his party walked out of the airport, they were surrounded by a large group of crazy British reporters. These guys were far crazier than their American counterparts. Even a large group of security personnel could not separate them.

"Director Stanton..."

Most British journalists didn't care about movies at all, and their thoughts were all about celebrity lace, "Are you and James Franco really gay?"

Some reporters saw Margot Robbie walking next to Murphy, and immediately thought about the two of them.
