Hollywood Road

For the actors of the film, Gal Gadot has her own ideas. She has already contacted Bill Rossis and asked him to help find a not-so-famous and extremely good-looking actor and actress under the aa banner. It may be difficult in the circle, but it is too easy to do in Hollywood. There are countless handsome men and women in Hollywood who can't find a chance to make their mark.

In addition, she has also contacted several Victoria's Secret angel models. With the plump and tall figures of the Victoria's Secret supermodels, it is perfect to play the heroine. I just want to find the most beautiful faces among them, which will surely satisfy many people. Appetite, there are some Victoria's Secret supermodel faces that look quite weird. They may conform to the fashion aesthetics, but they may not please movie fans.

For the male lead, you can also find a professional male model...

None of this is in a hurry. Gal Gadot knows that the most important job now is to assist Murphy in the last two films including "Dark City". Murphy has made a strict plan for this since last year. The first step of the film was also very smooth and successful, as evidenced by the Oscar statuettes for Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture.

But she knew that what Murphy wanted was more than that, but to use the unprecedented favorable situation created to leave an indelible mark on Hollywood.

After learning about Murphy's plan, Gal Gadot also gradually understood why Murphy became friends with people like Diego Ross. They all seemed very fanatical in their pursuit of leaving a name in this world.

Gal Gadot shook his head suddenly. In this world, how many people can get rid of the influence of fame and fortune? Anyway, she and Murphy are impossible.

In the following time, her main energy was still on assisting Murphy in handling the work related to the studio and "Dark City", and the progress of "Fifty Shades of Gray" was very slow.

On the other hand, the wiretapping scandal of News Corporation and the Murdoch family did not directly affect 20th Century Fox in the end. "Dark City" will be released simultaneously in the UK as planned, which also makes Murphy feel relieved. This kind of major market is something he doesn't want to see anyway.

Everything is back to normal, and 2012 has passed. In the new year, the promotion and distribution of the film are proceeding as planned. After the commercial landed in the Super Bowl in early February, Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox The first official trailer of "Dark City" was released, and fans responded strongly. Countless people expressed through the Internet and social networking sites that they are looking forward to this film.

Subsequently, a special film market statistics agency released a piece of data. The data showed that in the past two years, "City of Chaos" was the most pirated film downloaded from the Internet. For Stanton Studios and Twentieth Century Fox To say that this is definitely not a good thing, but it is enough to prove that in the era of back theaters, "City of Chaos" has directly or indirectly laid a strong audience base for "City of Darkness" with its strong word-of-mouth effect.

Viral marketing, regular publicity, various statistics... 20th Century Fox has achieved the ultimate in publicity and marketing.

In late February, Murphy completed all the post-production work of the film after adding the title titles of 20th Century Fox and Stanton Studios. The effect brought by the projection is shocking.

"Murphy..."

Suppressing the discomfort caused by the sudden bright light after opening the curtains, James Murdoch looked straight at Murphy, like a devout believer looking at God, "I really don't know what to say, Such a film, such a shock, I can't find a suitable adjective."

Murphy said a little modestly, "You are too famous, James."

"No, no, no..." James Murdoch waved his hands again and again, "This is definitely the best commercial movie since the new century!"

He looked at Murphy like he looked at an apple tree that could automatically grow golden apples.

Other Fox high-level people around,

Could it be that they looked at Murphy like this? This was not the first time they watched the internal test screening of Murphy's film. Those films in the past were also very good and brilliant, but none of them was as shocking and shocking as "Dark City". soul!

This is definitely the pinnacle of Murphy Stanton's film career!

Although James Murdoch has only been in charge of 20th Century Fox for a few years, he is a film major and has a certain understanding of the market. At this moment, a strong idea gradually formed in his mind, "Dark City" must be a film that can generate a huge amount of money. Profitable commercial film, if it works well, a billion dollar box office worldwide...  

"Listen up!" James Murdoch knew very well that the quality of a film is only the basis for commercial success, and publicity and distribution are the key. "Mobilize all the resources the company can mobilize to operate the distribution of this film!"

He said to Murphy again, "I will personally call the CEOs of the three major commercial theaters in the United States to communicate with them about the theaters that are showing."

Murphy nodded slightly, said with a slight smile, "I'll wait for your good news."

James Murdoch said a few more words without stopping, and together with other 20th Century Fox executives, quickly left this large conference room for temporary screenings, while Murphy followed Kara Firth, Went to her office.

"coffee?"

Entering the office, Kara Feith asked, "Or black tea?"

Murphy was not polite to her, "Coffee."

Kara Firth walked to the coffee machine, took a cup of coffee for Murphy, and said, "I thought "Man of Steel" was your limit in commercial movies, but I didn't expect this "Dark City"..."

She didn't seem to know what to say, she thought for a while, and then said, "If it wasn't for time, if the film could be released this awards season, I think you have a good chance of winning the Oscar for Best Director again. "

"This kind of thing..." Murphy shook his head, "Who can say for sure."

Kara Firth put the coffee mug on the table in front of Murphy and said, "You must still have someone behind you."

Murphy knew what she was talking about and didn't deny it, "As far as I know, the Catholic Church and the Vatican are very dissatisfied with the choice of the film "Diego Fez" and the Oscar, and an internal investigation process has been initiated. , although they don’t know where they are at the moment, but they will certainly not give up on the Diocese of South Central California.”

He picked up his coffee cup and took a sip. "My biggest concern is that the Catholic Church is silent. If they don't do anything, the situation will be against us. Now it seems that the Catholic Church will not remain silent forever."

Not to mention that Archbishop Marquez Costello, since the last Academy Awards ceremony, the Vatican alone has expressed its respect for him and "Diego" on several occasions. -Ross, and the displeasure of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

This group of people in Hollywood, no matter if they are old men or young people, actually have one thing in common, that is, they think that they are different and should enjoy more freedom...

Therefore, Hollywood is the place where liberalism is the most rampant in the United States. Those stars and celebrities, carrying the banner of liberalism and relying on their appeal and fame, dare to publicly insult the President of the United States.

Those who dare to criticize Bush Jr., Austrian Heitan, Trump, and even some other group forces are not fools, but some smart people. They all know that in this era, as super celebrities, they flaunt the banner of freedom. It is impossible for those people to do anything to them, but to improve their reputation.

The basis of all these existences is actually the so-called freedom. Without these so-called freedoms, Hollywood would not be Hollywood.

"I heard you're still working for Diego Rose?" Kara Firth changed the subject, "Can he get parole?"

Murphy picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, "It's very difficult, but you have to try."

Kara Firth shrugged slightly, "This is not like you."

"Me?" Murphy asked puzzled, "What's wrong with me?"

"You have helped him to make a name for the whole world." Kara Firth said directly, "It is also worthy of the friendship between you."

"You can't say that." Murphy made a metaphor, "It's like I'm in jail, what would you do."

"Me?" Carla Firth pointed at herself and suddenly smiled, "I promise to visit you in prison every month until you are released after serving your sentence."

Murphy was speechless and didn't bother to talk about this matter. As long as there was a one percent possibility, he didn't want Ross to die old in prison. Although it was very, very difficult, he never gave up.

Carla Firth sighed, and was not going to persuade him anymore. She knew what Murphy was like, so she just said, "Don't put yourself in it, you always have to consider Gadot's feelings."

"I know." Murphy nodded, "Did you know me on the first day, how could I let things get involved in me."

He would never do such a foolish thing when he couldn't get anyone out, but still put himself in.

Murphy also changed the subject, "The film will be released in early May, do we have strong opponents around the weekend?"

The news that "Dark City" has been scheduled for the opening weekend of the 2013 summer vacation has been circulating in the circle for a long time, and there is no heavyweight film competition on the same weekend.

"Yes." Kara Firth thought for a moment and said, "Vin Diesel's "Fast and Furious" series has always been released on the last weekend of April, and "Fast and Furious 6" will be released on the weekend before us. .”

"What about the next weekend?" Murphy asked.

"Your old friend's movie." Kara Firth suddenly laughed, "Leonardo DiCaprio's "The Great Gatsby" will be released on May 10."

Murphy tapped the armrest of the chair lightly, "These two films."
