If his friend had difficulties, Murphy would definitely help without hesitation, but a person who had worked with him only once was a different matter, even if the other party was a Hollywood star he once liked very much.

No matter from any perspective, Murphy is not a person with universal sentiment, nor does he have the lofty ideal of helping the world.

Giving will bring rewards. For people in his class, it is a very simple rule of conduct.

So, while providing a loan to Nicholas Cage, Stanton Studio also signed a formal contract with him.

The contract stipulates that the 20 million US dollars of funds are paid by Stanton Studio to Nicholas Cage in advance. Nicholas Cage will need to star in three films invested by Stanton Studio in the future and play an important role.

At an average price of less than $7 million per film, it is still a very cost-effective thing to invite Nicholas Cage, a star, especially when he has not completely become the king of bad movies.

Murphy then considered the project he was about to go on and decided not to use Nicholas Cage in "Inglorious Bastard".

The script and project plan of "Inglorious Bastard" are also the focus of Murphy's next work.

He went to the hospital to visit Quentin Tarantino again and had some simple exchanges on the project. This was the first time Murphy met Quentin Tarantino after the negotiations. The ruffian director also reminded Murphy that many things to pay attention to.

Leaving California Medical School, Murphy first lets Twentieth Century Fox deal with these potential troubles.

Quentin Tarantino initially wanted to make the film a "macaroni western" and he was also preparing to title the film "The Past of France in the Falling Period", but later gave up and decided to adopt "Inglorious Bastard".

The title of this film is a bit problematic. The English translation of an Italian film "Making a Meritorious Rebellion" released in North America in 1978 is "Inglorious Bastard".

In order to minimize the possibility of disputes in copyright, after Murphy communicated, the people of Twentieth Century Fox found the director of the film, Enzo Castilery, the director of "The Meritorious Reasons", agreed to Murphy to use the name "Inglorious Bastard", at the cost of showing a small face in the film.

This condition was nothing, and Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox agreed happily.

In terms of script writing, Murphy will definitely use the outline provided by Quentin Tarantino as the main line, but this project has been directed by him, so of course it is impossible to shoot and produce it in Quentin's way. The two's styles are just a bit similar, not the same.

So, Murphy hired a five-person screenwriter team to help him complete the script of "Inglorious Bastard" as soon as possible.

As long as he can control this team well, he can also provide more creativity for script writing when there are many people.

Creativity is a ability to express both self-expression and problem-solving. In both aspects, Murphy needs to gather a lot of fantasy ideas, but good ideas will not come out of thin air, which requires a lot of time and energy. As the saying goes, only when you use a book, you will regret it.

In order to get good ideas and good stories, the most common and commonly used by screenwriters is "brain storming", and teams gather together to discuss ways to solve problems.

But this so-called brainstorming cannot spread without limits and must be suitable for the film, and Murphy must restrict and guide appropriately.

Murphy first wants to let the entire screenwriter team clarify the first step. The first step is to clarify the idea, theme and situation of the script, chaos and anxiety are often caused by unknown themes.

When the screenwriters see the theme, they will naturally have their own ideas. They need to record these ideas. The screenwriters never lack ideas, but they lack good ideas and are suitable for making movies. Everyone in Murphy's team will have many novel ideas every day, especially at night.

So he asked every screenwriter to carry his pen and notebook with him, and when he was sleeping, he would write it down at any time when he suddenly had an idea.

Everyone has different ideas, which will cause contradictions and collisions. After recording enough ideas, Murphy gathered all the screenwriters together for the smoothest face-to-face communication. This is the so-called brainstorm when the Hollywood team screenwriters created.

Brainstorming is a good opportunity for thought communication and collision. When Murphy discusses problems with his friends, he will use a recorder to record the discussion process. No matter what the idea is, it is written on paper and nailed to the wall. Every 15 minutes, the team takes turns to share a solution. In the last 15 minutes, check all the discussions and problem lists and find many problems.

After brainstorming, people who can make decisions need to make decisions. Murphy is definitely responsible for this work. This is also a personal brainstorming. He has to think about the gains of the team's brainstorming.

Thinking will reveal problems, and then he will solve them, study them as deeply as possible, look at them from all angles, and calm down to find the differences between problems and differences.

You can't ignore rest when you work. When Murphy has a general plot and scene design, you can stop and take a break and do something completely different. Inspiration always flashes inadvertently, such as taking a bath or Superman vs. Wonder Woman.

While resting, Murphy also pays attention to maintaining exercise. Appropriate exercise can make the blood burn. Aristotle was called the "Little Love School philosopher" because of his rampage during teaching and brainstorming.

Murphy will capture every idea related to Inglorious Bastard, and whether it is useful or not, it will be recorded in time through a notebook or recording device.

During this period, he had some crazy ideas, but did not abandon them casually or limit his thinking to the rules and regulations. Due to the theme and content of the film, he let go and let his thoughts go crazy! Regardless of whether these ideas are stupid or very impossible, he just followed the steps of his thinking to fly freely.

Many questions are not because they have no answers, but because they dare not think about it.

If you think too much, you will have questions in your heart. When necessary, Murphy will ignore the doubts in your heart.

When he encounters a problem, there will always be a voice deep in his heart telling himself, "This idea is not good, this thing won't work."

It is this voice that hinders the pace of work, it will never stop, you must know that this is not the work of "it", its work is to question and criticize.

A successful director must learn to distinguish and listen to the good voice deep in his heart, the young, energetic, dare to think and do, and more creative voice.

Finally, Murphy is going to transform the story of Quentin Tarantino

For every movie you watch or every book you read, he can rethink from three different aspects, such as the beginning of it is not like this, or the story takes place elsewhere, and then at the end of the film or story, he can also imagine three different endings, tragedy, comedy or open endings.

In this way, Murphy led the screenwriter team to complete the first draft of the script of "Inglorious Bastard" as fast as possible. The first draft was like walking barefoot across the grass, keeping it romantic, naughty and absurd, and making an ending for it.

Next, more detailed modification work.

Murphy participated in the writing of the script throughout the whole process, but it was not basically done by himself as before. As a director and screenwriter, he also wanted to try a new model.

In some ways, Hollywood has two types of directors: one is to write scripts by themselves, and the other is not to write scripts by themselves.

This is rare if you have both and be able to alternate between the movie you wrote and the movie you didn't write.

This is not to say that one type of director is more appreciated than another type of director. They are just different. If you write the script yourself, you will get a film with personal qualities. A style will emerge quickly, and some interests will often reappear.

Therefore, when faced with the works of such directors, the audience is more exposed to a personality.

And if a director adapts a movie script written by someone else every time, he may be extremely well directed. If the script is good, a great movie might be born, but he will never have the personal qualities that an author possesses.

Similarly, if you write your own script and make a film with personal characteristics, but you can't say anything interesting or fresh about the film, then such a film will never be as good as a film adapted by a director with a good script.

“Once this distinction is made, I think all directors should make movies for themselves, and their responsibility is to make sure that no matter what obstacles they face, the film is their own from beginning to end.”

At Santa Monica's home, Murphy sat next to Gal Gadot, who was looking through the script's first draft, and said, "The director must always be the master of the film. Once he becomes a slave, he will be numb."

Gal Gadot looked up and said curiously, "You mean don't care about the audience?"

"No!" Murphy shook his head without hesitation, "I mean that the first thing I do is to satisfy myself when I make a movie. I don't mean that you should despise the audience. My personal feeling is that if you make a film that suits your own wishes and does it well, the audience will also like it, or at least some of the audience will like it."

"Yeah..." Gal Gadot nodded repeatedly, his eyes fell back to the script. When he saw the end, he couldn't help laughing, "What a feast of revenge for Jews."

She turned to look at Murphy, "Thank you, my dear."

Murphy shrugged but did not accept her words. This so-called Jewish revenge feast was just for the needs of the film and had nothing to do with Gal Gadot's ethnic group.

Gal Gadot went to see the finale, Murphy shook his head and said casually, "Why didn't the Jews resist at that time?"
Chapter completed!
