"Have the director been finalized?" Murphy looked through it for a while and asked again, "Is there a script?"
"The director has basically confirmed that it should be Ridley Scott," Carla Fiss returned to his desk, searched for a while, walked over with a script, and handed it to Murphy, "This is the first version of the script, and it has not been finalized yet. ↖"
After she sat down, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What? Are you interested in this project?"
"This is not your project, right?" Murphy was not polite, and opened the script and read it. Many clips were basically similar to what I remembered.
"How could this kind of project fall on my head?" Cara Fais shook his head. "This is a project promoted by department director Dave Scola."
Murphy roughly flipped the script and gave it to Cara Fais, "A little blacksmith's crusador journey..."
"Do you think there is something wrong with this project?" Cara Fais learned about Murphy.
"No one knows whether there is any problem," Murphy said, shaking his head, "but don't you think that since the success of the "Gladiator" and "The Lord of the Rings" series, have there been too many big-time epics in Hollywood following the trend? Every time there is such a situation in Hollywood following the trend, there will always be a group of unlucky guys."
"It seems... it's true." Carla Fis thought for a while, "As far as I know, the epic films invested in $150 million include "Alexander the Great, "Troy", "King Arthur", and this project, and they are all concentrated in one or two years to be released..."
"It's easy to cause aesthetic fatigue?" Bill Roses took over.
"No one can tell this kind of thing," Murphy spread his hands, "but it is very likely to be judged based on the past situation in Hollywood."
When he saw these materials just now, he had an idea, otherwise he would not have asked Cara Fais, and then said, "I heard that Dave Scola is a person who likes to interfere in his own leading projects?"
Kara Fis nodded, "Yes, he's very strong."
"Even if the director is Ridley Scott, he probably won't give the final editing rights, right?" Seeing Carla Fies nodding again, Murphy lifted his chin and said, "Cara, it shouldn't be difficult for Dave Scola to intervene in this crew with your means, right? You also know that Ridley Scott's level is unstable, and he always succeeds in one piece and one piece, if someone intervenes..."
"I think so too," Carla Fisch smiled. It was indeed Murphy, who had the most tacit understanding with him. "Or why would I find these information?"
Hearing these words, Bill Roses looked at Murphy and then at Cara Fais. These two people were birds of a feather, especially Cara Fais, who completely ignored the interests of Twentieth Century Fox and actually used a large-scale investment project to seek selfish interests for himself.
But he didn't say anything. Anyone who wants to move to a higher level has to face fierce competition. This kind of legal competition is too common in commercial companies.
"Bill," Murphy said suddenly, "remember Mike?"
"Hmm?" Bill Roses was a little confused, not knowing what Murphy mentioned about him. "It has something to do with Mike?"
"This project is not yet ready," Murphy said lightly, "You can find a way to pull him in."
Carla Fis looked at Murphy, "Is this Mike in conflict with you?"
"He is looking for a private detective to investigate me," Murphy said vaguely, "is the news I provided to you, and it may also be the driving force behind the last director union investigation into "Sin City". But we have no evidence, so there is no way to deal with him for the time being."
"Want to investigate us?" Cara Fais sneered, "He's too naive."
There are too many things that cannot be shy about the media industry, which is definitely more or less than Hollywood, but few of them have been exposed. All companies have tacit understanding in this regard, which will guarantee their own secrets and ensure the safety of news producers, otherwise the work in this industry will not be carried out at all.
"You mean, drag him into this project," Bill Roses gradually understood, "and then, will we find a way to drag down this project?"
"Not us." Murphy raised a finger and shook it gently, "It's Dave Scora."
He believed that Kara Fis had such ability and means, and also knew that she could do whatever she could to achieve her goals.
The three of them discussed it again, and then the topic returned to normal.
"I was ruthlessly rejected by DC Comics and Warner Bros.," Murphy and Cara Fais said directly without any politeness, "so they can only come back to find you."
"Or Marvel? Did you like that character?" Carla Fiss was also very direct, "X-Men? Or Fantastic Four?"
"X-Men!" Murphy said no longer nonsense, "Didn't I tell you? X-Men can be completely split and shot."
"Do you want to shoot Wolverine? Or Magneto? or Professor X's independent film?" Bill Rosess didn't know which superhero Murphy was interested in.
Murphy shook his head, "It's not these, Dave Scola can't let Kara get these first-line characters. What I want is Wade Wilson, Deadpool!"
Carla Fis thought about it before remembering the role, "That chatterbox?"
"Yes, the chatter and alternatives in the X-Men," Murphy asked Carla Fiss, "He can only be considered a second-tier character in the X-Men now. Can you get his movie copyright?"
Bill Roses looked at Murphy. This should not be a sudden idea and did not interfere.
Hearing Murphy’s question, Cara Fais did not answer. He pondered for a while before nodding, "Leave the copyright to me!"
Now, unlike in the past, she used to persuade Murphy to stay in the news industry, but after four movies, she has gained enough confidence in his talent and ability in film.
The two's joint efforts in the news industry have caused turmoil in the entire Greater Los Angeles region. Cara Fais believes that they can also succeed in the film industry.
However, if you want to get the copyright, you can't just rely on a mouth. Carafes said again, "You always have to give me a script and a plan to convince the people above."
Murphy nodded and said, "Give me ten days."
After agreeing on the most important thing, Murphy left Fox Building and asked Bill Roses to send him back to Stanton Studio in Santa Monica, and began preparing the scripts and plans that Cara Fais needed.
Since its establishment time is relatively short, the popularity of Deadpool is still not comparable to that of ten years later. However, among the superheroes of Marvel Comics, it is definitely a very alternative and special existence.
His abilities are very outrageous because he has two biggest differences from other heroes.
First of all, he is a very talkative character. If you read the Deadpool comics, it will make people feel illusioned. It is not reading a comic at all, but reading a plain text novel, and there are many things that are not right and messy.
This is because in the Deadpool setting, he loves nonsense and relies on his ability to die and talks nonsense all day long, which makes many heroes stay away from him, which shows his venomous tongue skills.
Another difference is that Deadpool knows that he is in the comics world, so Deadpool is in a state of "everyone is drunk and I am awake alone".
Also, Deadpool himself likes to enjoy it very much, so he likes money very much. He always talks about "just give money" and with this purpose, he has become "both good and evil". Whoever gives more will give him work for whom - in fact, he has saved humanity many times in his series, but many decent heroes are unwilling to admit it, Deadpool himself doesn't care about these things - so his reputation is very bad in the entire hero world, but this does not affect his recklessness.
If you make a movie, the most important thing among all Deadpool abilities is actually the mouth cannon.
Therefore, it is very important to find a verbal actor to act as the starring Deadpool. If the two complement each other, it will greatly increase the charm of the role and the film.
In fact, now is not the best time to make this film. The fact that this alternative superhero movie was once popular was not unrelated to the aesthetic fatigue caused by many routine superhero movies. When the audience was a little tired of the successive superheroes who "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", a superhero who "the greater the ability, the less responsible the" can bring them a different kind of movie-watching excitement.
The only amazing superhero movies that are truly popular are "X-Men" and "Spider-Man", which are not the era when Marvel heroes are flying all over the big screen. Murphy knows very well that completing this film now will inevitably be affected to a certain extent.
From the success of "Spider-Man", we can also see the mainstream aesthetics of the market that appeared. Peter Parker himself is also a verbal, and is ranked alongside Deadpool with two verbal and unreliable. However, under the demand of the market, the "Spider-Man" film has become a "great hatred and deep bitterness" type, and has spread the concept of "the greater the ability, the less irresponsible" widely.
However, Murphy has been struggling in Hollywood for several years and is very clear that films like "Deadpool" with black styles, full of humor and large-scale images, have never lacked audiences in North America. Perhaps due to time and environment, the film will not be as popular as before, but as long as the production quality and promotional distribution are guaranteed, there will be no problems with the big sale.
Moreover, such a film does not require much investment, and the pressure to recover and make profits is relatively small.
After Marvel Comics and DC Comics suffered consecutive setbacks, Murphy wanted to enter the mainstream film industry and could make a hit, but there were not many choices.
To get Carla Fisch to get the adaptation rights, he must have a good enough script and plan. In the following time, Murphy spent almost all his energy on this, except for talking on the phone with Gal Gadot several times a day.
