“What’s important?”

Seeing Murphy’s seriousness, James Franko couldn’t help but be curious, “Are you going to modify the character? This character is already very good now, so there is no need to change it.”

"It's not a change of the character." Murphy shook his head, thought about the words, and said, "James, no matter where you want to go, you feel in your heart or..."

He pointed to his head, "If you feel anxious mentally, please communicate with me in time."

"I thought you were saying something." James Franko waved his hand indifferently, "Don't worry, I have always distinguished reality from the role very clearly. There will be no situation you said, and do you think I am the kind of person you said?"

Murphy looked at him, and after a while, he said, "No."

James Franco is optimistic and likes to make trouble. He is not the kind of introverted and dull person at all. He is completely different from Heath Ledger who he once knew.

"I'm leaving." James Franko said goodbye and left, and Murphy didn't give it away, but just waved his hand, "Don't let me find you."

When leaving Murphy's office, James Franco happened to meet Gal Gadot, and Gal Gadot asked him, "Where are you going?"

"Go home." James Franco said with a smile, "experience the life of a magician."

After chatting with Gal Gadot, he walked out of the set, called his driver and took the bus home.

In the office on the warehouse set, Murphy discussed work with Gal Gadot for a while and reminded, "Remember to hire a psychological counselor."

Gal Gadot didn't understand it very much, and looked at Murphy with a little surprise. Murphy explained, "The character of Magic is too crazy, and Chris Dane's setting is also quite depressing. I'm worried that James and Henry Cavill will have psychological problems."

"Yes." Gal Gadot took out his cell phone and wrote it on the notepad, "I'll let someone do it later."

Murphy added another sentence, "As soon as possible."

Although James Franco is cheerful enough, he still has to be in case. After all, James Franco is not Heath Ledger. He will not blink when the latter died, but the former is his best friend. Of course, he does not want to see any accidents.

Thinking of this, Murphy suddenly realized that he had never seen any unexpected news about Heath Ledger in recent years. Perhaps the fate of this Australian actor has changed.

In order to prevent James Franco from having psychological problems, Gal Gadot called her assistant producer to ask for a psychological counselor, Murphy opened his email address, found James Franco's private email address, and sent him an email specifically.

He also deliberately used the attitude of communicating roles.

"In fact, the magician is more like a loan shark. While people get something from him, they also give up other things, and what they give up is the more noble part of people."

"When a person adheres to principles, he is insisting on his soul; when a person wants to show appropriateness, he is considering his dignity; when a person protects the bottom line, he is maintaining basic values."

"Even in our highly developed business society, people do all these things and want to give themselves a higher evaluation rather than a lower evaluation, injecting meaning into their lives, rather than taking time off them."

"Man is the kind of existence with strong plasticity. Of course, there is a possibility of falling, but this is not the only prospect; of course it has a selfish and cowardly side, but this is not the whole of human beings."

"How a person actually behaves depends on the environment provided to him."

"If a certain condition is too cramped, it only allows people to release the lower side of human nature, rather than the higher side of the soul; it only allows him to eat, drink, defecate and urinate without allowing him to pursue his ideal of value, otherwise severe punishment can be seen as a deprivation of him, intentionally putting him in humiliation and reducing his human nature and human dignity."

"In this case, it cannot be said that his life is like a pig, which is a life that is closer to human nature, and therefore a more real life. What is the truth of a person? What is his original appearance and the life he wants? This will only surface after the pressure is relieved."

"Talking about the truth of a person in a threat, taking the state of coercion as the moment when the truth emerges, and believing that despicable is the essence of a person, a mentally ill person like a magician will do this, because his own vision is here, just like the lines in the script, he strives to lower others to his own level."

Although I have a deeper understanding of this character, Murphy knows that such a character only exists in the movie, especially through the reminder of James Franko, the character's illusion, on the surface, the magician creates panic by threatening others. All of this is true. It is understandable that a person first and must think about himself.

Few ordinary people have experienced such extreme situations, so it is difficult to imagine how they perform or whether they are ideal in that situation. However, this tolerant idea quietly conceals the fact that this is a force that can control people in its hands so accurately, like a gecko being stepped on its tail, and must hand over a part of itself? Should people admit that this force is coerced to themselves?

Is this a person's performance at the last moment? It's really something they don't know under normal circumstances.

Think about the 9-11 incident, in which a person on one of the plane fought desperately with the hijackers. They knew what consequences this would have, but they still chose to do it. People are not only negative, but also have a glorious side. If they stand at a higher level, it is not difficult to find that people are not only small but also have another face.

Gal Gadot finished the phone call and said, "By the way, my dear, there is a new situation, you may be interested."

"Oh?" Murphy asked, ending his random thoughts, "What's the situation?"

"I got the news that Sony Columbia Pictures is not doing well because of its poor performance." As Gal Gadot's social circle widens, he often hears some latest news in the circle. "It is said that Sony's headquarters is preparing to optimize Sony Entertainment sufficiently, and it may divest Sony Entertainment's music business from it and then package and sell it in the TV and film production and distribution department."

"Is this true?" Murphy immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

Gal Gadot shook his head, "The authenticity of the news cannot be verified, but it has spread in the circle."

Murphy put his hands on his chest and thought for a moment, "It's possible."

Last year and this year, Sony Columbia Pictures ranked last among the six traditional Hollywood companies, with a market share of less than 8%. It can only be described as a dismal performance.

In Sony Entertainment, in terms of music business, television and film production and distribution, it has been a year or two for the poor operation of Sony Columbia Pictures. Since Sony took over Columbia Pictures, except for the years when the "Spider-Man" trilogy was released, among the other six traditional companies, the performance was either the last or the second to last.

This must have made Sony headquarters in Tokyo very depressed.

Although I don’t remember it very clearly, Murphy has a vague impression that the entire Sony Electronics has performed poorly in recent years, and a considerable number of departments have been separated from the group and then packaged for sale...

Is Sony really going to sell Sony Columbia Pictures?

Murphy shook his head. It may be possible in the future. The chances should not be high now. Sony Columbia still has the magic weapon "Spider-Man" in his hand. They should restart "Spider-Man" and continue to squeeze out the value of this series.

Unless the restart of "Spider-Man" has a bad response and revenue, Sony Columbia Pictures has no way to go besides the film library.

"Gal." Murphy asked, "Is there any rumours about Sony Columbia Pictures rebooting the Spider-Man series?"

"Rumor?" Gal Gadot had the urge to roll his eyes. Murphy was becoming more and more like a workaholic who was devoted to work. She resisted the impulse and said, "Sony Columbia Pictures' re-version of Spider-Man is called "Amazing Spider-Man". The film will be released in July this summer!"

"Uh..." Murphy smiled embarrassedly, "I have never seen news about this, and no one has ever told me about it."

He then put away his smile and said seriously, "Even if Sony wants to take action against Sony Columbia Pictures, it is impossible for them to be now. They must have great expectations for the new Spider-Man. As long as this restart series is successful, Sony Columbia Pictures will temporarily get rid of the current embarrassing situation."

Gal Gadot thought about it, nodded slightly, and agreed to Murphy's opinion. Sony Columbia Pictures has not yet reached the point where it has no way to go and cannot save itself.

"What a pity..." Gal Gadot sighed, "Sony Columbia Pictures..."

She shook her head, without saying anything behind.

"No chance now does not mean there is no future." Murphy stood on the armrest of the chair, and his other hand gently tapped the desk. "We stared at Sony Entertainment. Once they had the possibility of stripping and taking action against Sony Columbia Pictures, we could consider taking over."

We can only do this. After all, it is not their final say whether Sony will sell Columbia Pictures or not. Whether such an opportunity will appear can only be seen in the future development of Sony Columbia Pictures.

"I'm going to Twentieth Century Fox to discuss publicity with Cara." Gal Gadot was about to leave, "You have to wait for me, I'll go home just after I finish."
