Hollywood Road

Hearing Murphy’s words, Daisy’s eyes immediately brightened. She mailed so many letters without reply, so many thoughts could not communicate with her idol, disappointment is inevitable, but now she has such good news. Opportunity, can you tell Murphy about those thoughts in person, is there anything more to be happy about than this?

"Murphy, I like your movie very much."

Talking about her thoughts, Daisy immediately calmed down, and her words became very organized, "Especially the "Chain Saw" series, I like it very much."

Murphy couldn't help but glanced at her. A young girl likes such a large-scale movie, even in North America.

However, instead of interjecting, he asked her to continue to see what she wanted to say.

The excitement on Daisy’s face became calm, and calm was gradually replaced by fanaticism. “After watching the movie, I have a lot of ideas. I think of some ways to make people die more cruel and exciting. I think it might be It's helpful for this series."

She kept saying, "For example, I have read a book about torture in ancient China. There is a red copper pillar on it that can burn prisoners into coke."

Is this what a young and beautiful girl should have? Murphy looked at the girl opposite with a little surprise.

These things I want to say have been held in my heart for too long. At this moment, when I say it, Daisy is like a flood that has found a spillway. "Also, you can bury a person in the ground and show him above his chest. ..."

"Daisy!" Murphy couldn't help interrupting her, and said casually, "Your idea is very interesting."

"Really?" Daisy didn't even notice that Murphy was perfunctory, and said, "As long as I can help you, I can think of more and more interesting ways to kill."

Murphy frowned slightly. The girl didn't seem to be as simple as it seemed. After thinking about it, she said, "Let's do it, Daisy. I'm very busy today. I will ask you to send you the mailbox of Stanton Studio. Do you have any ideas? Email me."

"Is it really possible?" This was completely beyond Daisy's expectations, and some excitement was mixed in the enthusiasm, "Great! I will definitely email you."

Murphy nodded, cast a look at the staff following, and left here.

Daisy took an email address from the staff and looked at Murphy's back. She felt unusually tall and extremely excited. Can her whimsical ideas finally appear on the big screen?

Thinking of those peculiar killing methods, her hand holding the note trembled.

This discussion group leader named Daisy is definitely the person who impressed Murphy the most tonight, but he forgot it the next day. There is so much work that needs to be done recently. Distracted by such a thing that I don't really care about.

First, various peripheral products of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" are officially on sale in North America. T-shirts, mugs, dolls and various products have appeared in many North American store markets and e-commerce stores. On the webpage, the eagerly enthusiastic fans unbuttoned their pockets and exchanged a lot of money for their favorite peripheral products.

In addition, many manufacturers have also sought related authorizations from the Binghuo Studio jointly established by Stanton Studio and Twentieth Century Fox.

From the end of June to mid-July for more than half a month, various peripheral products plus North American authorization, "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" received a total of nearly 50 million US dollars in high income in North America.

The cost of this part of the income is not high, and the high profit margin is scary.

With this enthusiasm, in late July, 20th Century Fox officially released the first season DVD of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" through its own channels. In addition to the ten episodes of TV series, it also included a long More than 60 minutes of behind-the-scenes video, part of the preview of the second season, the whole strategy of Westeros, the inside story of the night watch and so on.

This regular DVD set sells for up to 39 dollars, and there is also a luxury Blu-ray set for up to 99 dollars.

The DVD sales of TV series cannot be comparable to Hollywood’s super-selling movies. Murphy knows this very well. However, in the first week of its launch in North America, DVD sales still sold 1.65 million sets, with sales of up to 60 million U.S. dollars.

This is only one week's sales, not counting follow-up sales and DVD rental income.

According to Fox's most conservative estimate of the 20th century, the first season of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" only one North American DVD can bring more than 100 million U.S. dollars in revenue to the producer.

At the same time, "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" also landed on the Hulu video website just established by Fox in the 20th century. TV series like this kind of main cable station are very conducive to attracting high-end brands because of the relationship between paying users. , BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, Chanel, Dior, Microsoft and Samsung are all advertisers of this series, which can bring in millions of dollars in advertising revenue.

At this time, no one has questioned the ability of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" to attract money, and "Vanity Fair" magazine even praised it, "Probably no TV series has "Game of Thrones" on its TV network. So make money. It paid off in just one season and became a global phenomenon. This fantasy masterpiece is a beautiful but extremely successful gamble by Murphy Stanton."

Unknowingly, Murphy's Stanton Studio has taken up to $100 million from the first revenue share of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones."

This not only allowed the Stanton Studio to get back the high cost of investment, and easily paid off David Ellison's loan, but also realized a large amount of profit.

"A large sum of money is in your hands, and it has no use except depreciation."

On a cruise ship off California, Murphy sat under a parasol on the top deck and said to a few friends, "So the best way is to invest as soon as possible."

"Murphy makes sense!" said David Ellison, who borrowed the yacht. "The depreciation speed of the dollar is almost comparable to the collapse of the World Trade Center."

Jonah Hill, James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Robert Downey Jr. let out a hearty laugh. The laughter attracted the women not far away. Carla Faith took Gail. Gadot, Megan Ellison, Susan Downey and others walked back and sat at a table near a large sun umbrella.

"Congratulations, Carla!" James Franco took the lead and raised the beer can to Carla Faith.

Robert Downey Jr. also said, "How does the production director feel like?"

"It must be very good." Jonah Hill said interface.

Seth Rogen shook his head, "The pressure has become even greater."

"Don't talk nonsense." Murphy also raised a beer can to Carla Faith. "Anyway, Carla becoming the production director is good news for us."

David Ellison is not the first chick anymore, echoing, "Of course it's good news."

He tentatively asked Carla Firth, "Is your department short of production funds? If you don't, you can consider my Sky Film Foundation."

"I will." Carla Faith nodded seriously.

She and Murphy have similar views. At this stage, David Ellison is definitely a high-quality film investor.

Everyone had a drink together, and Gal Gadot suddenly said, "Don't be too busy with congratulations, you guys, let's help Kara think about how to solve the current problem."

"What problem?" Robert Downey Jr. asked curiously, "Can you stump our strong woman?"

"The latest task I faced when I took office was forced down from above." Kara Feith did not hide it, and said directly, "The box office performance and word-of-mouth response of "X-Men 3: Last Stand" are seriously lower than expected, and the entire series may Facing the collapse, I must revitalize this series in the next two to three years."

"X-Men 3: Last Stand" is well known for its poor reputation and much lower than expected North American and global box office results. This is the direct reason why Carla Faith was able to take over as production director, but it’s easy for a series to fail. It is very difficult to win back the hearts of the audience.

Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill, who had always been talkative, were silent at the same time. They knew very well that such a problem was beyond their ability.

James Franco drank beer on his own, knowing he couldn't help at all.

Seth Rogen was thinking hard, what should he do if he is the director or producer of this series?

David Ellison shook his head, investing in his business and revitalizing his reputation in the rotten movie series. He is a layman.

Everyone's eyes finally fell on Murphy. Today, the best box office and word-of-mouth movie in the "X-Men" series is "Deadpool" directed by him.

"The next X-Men movie, you can consider overturning the current trilogy." Murphy thought for a while and said to Kara Feith, "You better get Brian Singer back. The new work should not follow the current setting, focus on Charles and Eric when they were young, to tell some stories that happened when they were young, so that the mutants can be brought into the historical events of great influence in the past, such as the Cuban Missile Crisis. Isn't it related to mutants? Was John F. Kennedy assassinated by Magneto? Didn't that bullet have a weird trajectory? It fits Magneto's setting..."

Hearing Murphy talked about Chase, Robert Downey Jr. nodded first and said, "It looks pretty good."

Carla Faith's eyes flashed with thoughts, "It's really good."

David Ellison also came interested, "I can provide financial support."

"I'm sorry, David." Carla Faith shook his head firmly. "After "Deadpool", Twentieth Century Fox no longer agrees in principle with foreign funds to intervene in his own ace series."

"David, do you want to invest?" Murphy said suddenly, "I have a comedy project."
