In the living room of Wave Manor Villa, Stanton Party members gathered together, and everyone's eyes were all looking at Murphy.

"Seth, Jonah, James..."

Murphy looked at the three people on his left, "Where has your movie progressed?"

Seth Logan, the director and producer of the political satirical comedy, replied, "The filming was completed in August and is now in the studio of Fox Building, and all productions can be completed by the end of November."

"End of November." Murphy nodded and asked, "Can you put in new work after you finish?"

These people all know Murphy’s plan, Seth Logan said without hesitation, “Of course there is no problem!”

Jonah Hill and James Franco also nodded, "Our schedule is also suitable."

Murphy turned to look at the other side, Robert Downey Jr. raised his hand and said, "I can let Marvel adjust the schedule. I must star in your movie!"

Margot Robbie, who was sitting on a single sofa next to him, then said, "I remember there was a female reporter in the team of "Focus" column at that time. You wouldn't want to hand over this role to someone else, right?"

"And I." Gal Gadot also stood up, "Let me leave the specific affairs of the crew to handle."

Murphy nodded, "I will send you the full version of the script later. You can see it first and then determine the role."

This movie will be a collective action by the Stanton Party members! And unlike the past, this is a group drama, and everyone's role is very important.

This is a film without a starring role, the story is the real protagonist

After a brief exchange, the core creators of the crew were confirmed. Murphy served as director and producer. Gal Gadot continued to escort him, serving as producers, Robert Downey Jr., Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, James Franko and Margot Robbie, and they happened to play the five most important roles of the film, Robbie Robinson, Mike Redenzes, Martin Barn, Sasha Pever and lawyer Mitchell Gellobettyne.

As for the specific role, it was still early, and Murphy was not in a hurry, and he would discuss it after they had read the script.

After talking about this, Murphy asked Seth Logan again, “Have the Interview confirmed the release date?”

"Twentieth Century Fox wants to be in February." Seth Logan held his glasses, "I talked to Cara Fais, the release time has been delayed, and it will probably be in October or November next year."

Thinking of the storm that happened in this movie, Murphy reminded, "You can think of some solutions in terms of publicity and marketing."

A considerable part of the investment in this film comes from Stanton Studio, and of course he doesn't want to do business at a loss.

However, no one can tell whether the farce was really hackers there, or whether some crazy guys in the United States hype themselves, and Murphy would not tell these things to Seth Logan.

He thought for a while and said, "You can give it a break, just say that this is the last comedy that the Stanton party members cooperated with."

"Uh..." Seth Logan scratched the back of his head. "This...is not suitable. I'm already planning a new comedy with Jonah."

In some ways, Seth Logan is the relatively honest one among the Stanton gangs. Jonah Hill on the other side understands what Murphy means and continues, "Seth, you big fool! Just let you talk about it and create some promotional and hype topics, not to let you really stop making comedy movies."

"That's it." Seth-Logan smiled, "It's also a good idea."

Murphy's idea that seemed bad was quickly accepted by Seth Logan. Anyway, this is also a common method in Hollywood and even the world's film circles.

There are too many such examples.

For example, some movie fans once complained, Luc Besson: I only made ten movies in my life. Quentin Tarantino: I only made ten movies in my life. James Cameron: "Avatar 2" is about to start filming! Ridley Scott: If there is another alien in my movie, I will cut my wrist and commit suicide! Michael Bey: This is the last "Transformers" I directed! Jack Chen: This is the last action movie I starred in. Miyazaki: I am going to retire! Daniel Craig: I will never play James Bond again...

These eye-catching slogans were shouted loudly, and none of them were truly achieved.

In publicity and marketing, these are nothing at all.

Some people even summarized the three major lies in the world film industry James Cameron: I will start filming soon; Michael Bay: I will not shoot the Transformers sequel anymore; Miyazaki: I will never come out again after retirement.

Some words, even if they are spoken from the super director, cannot be taken seriously.

Just as Murphy was actively planning a new project, "Dark City" continued to be released in North American theaters. Although the daily box office output was already very low, the weekly increase in box office was not even a million dollars, Twentieth Century Fox did not completely remove the film from North America when the film's North American market potential was about to run out.

"Dark City" is also screened in large cities across the United States such as New York, Boston, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles, and the screening time will last at least until the end of January next year!

This is an agreement signed by Twentieth Century Fox and some theaters. According to the agreement, from September to the end of January next year, Twentieth Century Fox will not participate in the share of all the box office revenue generated by "Dark City".

It will definitely cost a film to maintain a long release time in the theater.

Twentieth Century Fox made these actions not to make the film's North American box office surpass "Avatar". Anyone with discerning eyes can see it clearly. Due to the shooting of the Hollywood Chinese Theater, "Dark City" is no longer able to compete with "Avatar" for the throne of the North American box office championship.

All of this is for awards season.

It is now the end of October, and the traditional North American awards season is coming, and all films and companies that are interested in Oscars are already ready to go.

Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox are no exception. Why did he choose to announce new projects when the awards season is coming, and not keep it as confidential as the previous movies? Instead, he directly informed the film's theme and content, in some ways, to make "Dark City" make a difference this awards season.

It is no exaggeration to say that under the influence of a series of emergencies, Hollywood has become arguing with the Catholic Church.

Although this situation exceeded Murphy's initial expectations and plans, it was undoubtedly very beneficial to him, especially after the press conference of the new project, there were basically a lot of applause from the Hollywood circle to the mainstream media.

As the Oscar has developed to the present, anyone can see that the impact of external factors on the ownership of important awards has been very great.

In addition to these, the public relations between Caa and Murphy is also being launched. Los Angeles City Hall contacted Murphy when the box office hit in the first week of "Dark City". Since Murphy is an authentic Los Angeles native, Los Angeles City Hall also added a famous tourist attraction to express his contribution to the city and wanted to build a Murphy-Stanton Film Memorial.

In accordance with Murphy's request, caa started negotiations with the Los Angeles City Hall. This kind of negotiation was not something that could be settled in a short period of time, so it was successfully delayed and it was not until now that it basically reached a consensus.

If nothing unexpected happens, the two sides will sign a formal agreement in December when the awards season begins and officially announce it to the public, which can invisibly add a lot of weight to Murphy's Oscars!

Whether it is Stanton Studio, Caa and Twentieth Century Fox, it has fully launched the Oscar Awards Project, just waiting for the awards season to begin!

On November 1st, Murphy did not go out. She sat in front of her computer and logged on Netflix's website. As soon as she arrived at 9 o'clock in the morning, she saw the latest new drama "House of Cards" released by the website!

"House of Cards" is a web drama jointly launched by streaming website Netflix and Stanton Studio. Unlike traditional American dramas that are broadcast on TV, "Chasing" and watching, "House of Cards" are all put online on this day with a total of 13 episodes.

With Netflix doing a lot of early publicity, "House of Cards" quickly became popular on the Internet and became a magical drama in the mouths of many people!

Even some politicians are obsessed with this show.

The O'Hei Tan in the White House tweeted: "Let's watch "House of Cards" tomorrow, please don't spoil it."

He also tagged the official Twitter of "House of Cards". The official Twitter was retweeted without comments, which made the heroine Kate Mara very excited and quickly retweeted: "This has just happened! The president is ready to watch our drama!"

The popularity of "House of Cards" also means that Stanton Studio, which can earn half of the profit, found a hen that can lay golden eggs in the series after "Game of Thrones"!

But the impact of this drama planned by Murphy is not just a magical drama, but even challenges the production model of the traditional TV industry's "separation of production and broadcasting".

"House of Cards" is not a simple artistic creation conducted by a production organization, but is based on the big data of Murphy Stanton, a golden signboard and the 30 million user viewing behavior stored on Netflix's website, and analyzed the "search and collection" habits of netizens.

The broadcast of this drama broke the traditional model of TV stations launching episodes one after another. Netflix website launched the episodes of the season in one day, adapting to the viewer habits of viewers in the Internet era, and the audience can participate in various links such as the production and promotion of TV programs through the Internet.

Of course, projects that can be made must continue to be produced.
Chapter completed!
