"Have you finalized the director?" Murphy looked around for a while and asked, "Is there a script?"

"The director is basically determined, it should be Ridley Scott," Carla Faith returned to his desk, rummaged for a while, walked over with a script, and handed it to Murphy. "This It's the first version of the script, and it has not been finalized yet."

After she sat down, she raised her brows and asked, "What? Are you interested in this project?"

"This won't be your project, right?" Murphy was also polite, opening the script and looking through it, many fragments were basically similar to the impressions.

"Why does this kind of project fall on my head?" Carla Faith shook his head. "This is a project promoted by department director Dave Scola."

Murphy roughly flipped through the script and returned it to Carla Faith, "A little blacksmith's crusade..."

"Do you think there is a problem with this project?" Carla Faith knew Murphy.

"No one knows if there is any problem," Murphy shook his head and said, "but don't you think that since the success of the "Gladiator" and "Lord of the Rings" series, Hollywood has followed the trend of making too many epics? Every time there is such a follow-up situation in Hollywood, there will always be a batch of unlucky people."

"It seems...that is indeed the case." Carla Faith thought for a while. "As far as I know, there are "Alexander the Great," "Troy", "King Arthur", and this epic film invested in 150 million US dollars. Projects, and they are all released in one or two years..."

"Easy to cause aesthetic fatigue?" Bill Rossis took over.

"No one can say this kind of thing," Murphy opened his hand, "but judging from the past in Hollywood, it's very possible."

When he saw these materials, he had an idea, otherwise he would not ask Carla Firth, and then he said, "I heard that Dave Scola is a person who likes to intervene in the projects he leads?"

Carla Firth nodded, "Yes, he is strong."

"Even if the director is Ridley Scott, surely he won't give the final editing rights?" Seeing Carla Faith nodded again, Murphy cupped his chin and said, "Carla, by your means, don't pay. It shouldn’t be difficult for Dave Scola to intervene in the crew, right? You know, Ridley Scott’s level is unstable and he always succeeds in a bad one. If someone intervenes..."

"I think so too," Carla Faith laughed, and it was Murphy who had the most understanding with him. "Otherwise, why should I look for this information."

Hearing these words, Bill Roses looked at Murphy and then at Carla Firth. The two men were like a scorpion, especially Carla Firth, who completely ignored the interests of Twentieth Century Fox. A big investment project, I want to seek personal gain for myself.

But he didn't say anything. Anyone who wants to advance to a higher place has to face fierce competition. In commercial companies, this kind of legal competition is too common.

"Bill," Murphy said suddenly, "remember Mike?"

"Huh?" Bill Rossis was a little confused, wondering what Murphy did with him, "It has something to do with Mike?"

"This project has not been prepared yet." Murphy said flatly, "You can find a way to get him in."

Kara Firth looked at Murphy, "This Mike has a contradiction with you?"

"He's looking for a private investigator to investigate me," Murphy said vaguely. "It's the news I provided you at the time. It may also be the driving force behind the directors' union investigation of "Sin City". But we have no evidence. He can't help it."

"Want to investigate us?" Carla Faith sneered. "He is too naive."

There are so many things that the media industry can’t see. They are definitely a lot more than Hollywood, but few have been stabbed out. All companies have a tacit understanding in this regard, and they will guarantee their own secrets and the news producers. Privacy, otherwise the work in this industry simply cannot be carried out.

"You mean, drag him into this project," Bill Rossis gradually understood. "Then, do we find a way to bring down this project?"

"It's not us." Murphy raised a finger and shook it gently. "It's Dave Scola."

He believes that Carla Feis has such abilities and means, and also knows her unscrupulous way of doing things to achieve goals.

The three discussed again, and then the topic returned to the right track.

"I was ruthlessly rejected by DC Comics and Warner Bros.," Murphy and Carla Faith said without courtesy, "So I can only come back and find you."

"Still Marvel Comics? Did you fancy that character?" Kara Feith was also very direct, "X-Men? Or Fantastic Four?"

"X-Men!" Murphy stopped talking nonsense, and said, "Didn't I tell you? X-Men can completely separate and shoot."

"Do you want to shoot Wolverine? Or Magneto? Or Professor X's independent film?" Bill Rossis didn't know which superhero Murphy had fancy.

Murphy shook his head, "It's not that, and it's impossible for Dave Scola to let Kara get these first-line roles. What I want is Wade Wilson, Deadpool!"

Carla Faith thought for a while before remembering the character, "What about that?"

"Yes, the words in the X-Men are chatty and alternative," Murphy asked Carla Faith. "He can only be regarded as a second-line role in the X-Men now. Can you win the rights to his movie?"

Bill Rossis looked at Murphy, it shouldn't be a whim, and there was no interference.

Hearing Murphy's question, Carla Faith didn't answer, he pondered for a while before nodding, "Leave me the copyright matter!"

Now is different from the past, she used to persuade Murphy to stay in the news industry, but after four films, she has enough confidence in his talents and abilities in film.

The combination of the two in the news industry has caused turmoil throughout the greater Los Angeles area, and Carla Faith 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. Kara-Fiss said, "You always have to give me a script and a plan to convince the people on it."

Murphy nodded and said, "Give me ten days."

Agreed on the most important thing, Murphy left the Fox Tower and asked Bill Rosses to send him back to Stanton's studio in Santa Monica, where he began to prepare the script and plan for Carla Faith.

Due to the relatively short time of establishment, the popularity of Deadpool today cannot be compared with that of ten years later, but among the superheroes of Marvel Comics, there is definitely a very special and unusual existence.

His ability is very outrageous, because he is different from other heroes in two biggest ways.

First of all, he is a very, very talkative character. If you watch the "Deadpool" series of comics, you will have the illusion that you are not reading a comic at all, but reading a text-only novel. There are a lot of things that don't have the right lips and the horse's mouth are in a mess.

This is because in the setting of Deadpool, he himself loves nonsense very much, relying on his indestructible ability to talk nonsense all day, so that many heroes stay away from him, and his poisonous tongue is evident.

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 alone".

In addition, Deadpool himself likes to enjoy it very much, so he likes money very much, and he always puts "just give money" to his lips. With this purpose, he has also become "both good and evil". Who gives more Who does he work for? In fact, in his series, he has saved mankind many times, but many decent heroes don’t want to admit it, and Deadpool himself doesn’t care about this. So his reputation is very bad in the entire hero world, but it doesn’t Does not affect his nonsense.

If you are making a movie, the most important thing among all the abilities of Deadpool is actually the most important thing.

Therefore, it is very important to find a mouth-cannon-shaped actor to act as the leading role of Deadpool. If the two complement each other, it will greatly increase the charm of the character and the film.

In fact, now is not the best time to make this film. Once this alternative superhero movie can catch fire, it has nothing to do with the aesthetic fatigue caused by many routine superhero movies. When superheroes with greater responsibility are a little bored, a superhero with greater abilities and irresponsibility can bring them a different kind of movie-watching excitement.

Nowadays, the only real marvelous superhero movies are "X-Men" and "Spider-Man". It is not the era when Marvel heroes are flying all over the big screen. Murphy knows very well that the completion of this movie now will inevitably be affected.

From the success of "Spider-Man", we can also see the mainstream aesthetics of the current market. Peter Parker himself is also a mouthpiece, and he is tied with Deadpool, the two big mouths and unreliable Marvel comics, but the "Spider-Man" movie However, under the demand of the market, it has become a type of "great hatred and deep suffering", and it has spread the concept of "the greater the ability, the more irresponsible".

However, Murphy has been in Hollywood for several years, and it is also very clear that movies with a black style like "Deadpool", full of humor and large-scale pictures, have never lacked audiences in North America, perhaps because of the time and environment. Relationship, the film will not be as popular as it used to be, but as long as the production quality and publicity and distribution are guaranteed, there are still not too many problems with big sales.

Moreover, such a film does not require much investment, and the pressure on cost return and profitability is relatively small.

After Marvel Comics and DC Comics suffered a series of setbacks, Murphy wanted to enter the mainstream film circle, and it would be an instant success. There were not many choices.

In order for Carla Faith to win the right to adapt, he must have a good enough script and plan. In the subsequent time, Murphy spent almost all his energy on the phone except for the phone call with Gal Gadot several times a day. On top of this.

The script of Deadpool he wants is absolutely different from the typical movie script. The latter is based on the story, while the former is based on the character!
