Hollywood Road

Since entering the North American release of Michael Bay’s "Transformers" in July, "Man of Steel" is no longer as hot as before. Although it can still stay in the top ten of the North American box office rankings every weekend, every The daily increase in box office numbers has fallen to the level of millions of dollars, and the box office of some working days has even fallen below one million dollars.

No matter how hot the summer archives are, it is always difficult to get rid of the crazy fast-going law. More than half of the total box office in North America is often generated in the first few weeks.

"Man of Steel" is no exception. After the North American box office surpassed the US$400 million mark, the number of theaters and schedule rates continued to decline in July. By the end of the month, the number of North American theaters dropped to 1,200, and the schedule rate was insufficient. Five percent has reached the end of the screening.

After a long screening of this month, "Man of Steel" took over 37 million U.S. dollars from North America, and the total box office in North America reached 444.55 million U.S. dollars!

When "Spider-Man 3" and "Shrek 3" were dragged down by the audience's word of mouth, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" was no longer the courage of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and "Transformers" was still the first episode. 4 The box office figure of US$44.55 million is enough to ensure that "Man of Steel" won the first place in this year's North American box office list!

This will also be Murphy's first North American annual box office champion since entering Hollywood.

Overseas, as there is no new heavyweight market to join the ranks of the screenings, the entire July "Man of Steel" only got more than 150 million US dollars in box office revenue.

However, the global box office number of "Man of Steel" has been infinitely close to the $1 billion mark.

As long as the global box office exceeds one billion U.S. dollars, "Man of Steel" will inevitably soar to the sky, and even the director of Murphy will also benefit greatly from it.

In August, "Man of Steel" was officially released in Japan, which became the key to the film's global box office breaking through one billion.

As we all know, the Japanese film market has always been a rather weird place. No one can measure the audience in this country by general market rules. But one thing is certain. American-style comic hero movies have never been popular in this country. It is known as the most popular American comic hero Spider-Man in Japan, and the box office numbers won by the trilogy are not too eye-catching.

But "Man of Steel" only needs the help of the new market, and does not need much explosion. Even if the Japanese market is not good, it will not be a problem to get a box office of tens of millions of dollars.

There is also North America. Although entering the end of the screening, it still contributes hundreds of thousands of dollars in box office figures every day. Coupled with the contribution of other overseas markets, by mid-August, "Man of Steel" had no overseas box office. Suspense broke the billion dollar mark.

After the third weekend of August, the latest box office statistics of "Man of Steel" showed that the North American box office totaled 451.68 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office totaled 1,011.59 million U.S. dollars!

Following the "Titanic", "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul Gathering Coffin" thick, "Man of Steel" became the film's birth, the fourth global box office has exceeded one billion US dollars. Off the movie.

Murphy is also the fourth director to accomplish this feat.

The most important point is that he is only 27 years old this year, far younger than others, and young in the eyes of Hollywood and the media means unlimited potential.

There is an inevitable law in Hollywood. When a star or director is going smoothly and getting brilliant results, the media is basically praised.

This time is no exception. The third week of August in North American entertainment media can be renamed "Murphy Stanton Week."

"Hollywood has never seen a director like Murphy Stanton. Throughout the history of movies around the world, there has never been a director who can do such an outstanding job at Murphy Stanton’s current age. ."

——"Entertainment Weekly"

"Murphy Stanton has a natural director talent and endless curiosity. He has created countless unforgettable moments, but he still strives for perfection, continues to challenge himself, and achieves unattainable achievements!"

-"Los Angeles Times"

"Murphy Stanton's work is a paradox. Although he is gentle, he has always been extremely bold in art. He shuttles back and forth between various forms and has the courage to take risks. In the controversial "Man of Steel" In, he succeeded in giving comic book-like heroes a sense of human true feelings. In "The Lost Lovers", the characteristics of thrillers are used to describe deeper and deeper things."

-"Vanity Fair"

"Almost no director can contribute more to film noir like Murphy Stanton. He is a visionary who likes to extend the boundaries of media imagination, clearly depict his endless desires, and at the same time change our habits of watching movies."

-"Miami Herald"

Just looking at the high praise from the media, Murphy seems to have become the top batch of super directors in Hollywood. In fact, it is not much different. The box office and reputation of "Man of Steel" has exploded in the industry. The status has improved a lot.

Now that Murphy is a first-line director in Hollywood, I believe that 90% of people will not refute, but nod in agreement.

This crazy media report culminated in the listing of Murphy on the cover of Time Magazine.

Since there was no real interview with Murphy, the cover intercepted a photo of Murphy on the set of "Man of Steel". The article that matched the cover character was also told from the perspective of a third party.

"When we met Murphy Stanton on the set of "Man of Steel", we saw that he was a young man with energetic and creative desire. He was tall, strong, handsome, with a touch of elegance and handsomeness, and he seemed to be a career. It’s an actor, but he chose the director who doesn’t need to rely on appearance the least."

"When he speaks, his voice is very light, his accent is not heavy, and sometimes he makes a little mockery. He takes every question seriously. It seems that he hasn't heard of these questions before. He doesn't have that kind of pre-existence. I won’t talk about the answers I have practiced."

"Like other great artists, Murphy Stanton's thinking about life and the world has not become a burden for him, but an opportunity for him. These have stimulated his curiosity and stimulated his desire to explore. "

"He is a director who likes to communicate with people. He is smart, funny, and sometimes a little humble-of course, he is still proud of his films, whether it's black entertainment or thought-provoking dark films."

"Although he is twenty-seven years old, he can still see that kind of childishness-even a kind of innocence."

"However, when we enter the working state, we see a director who is completely different from that in his free time. Murphy Stanton is in full control of the overall situation of the set. He said that if there is light, there must be light, no matter what method is used; At the same time, he also firmly believes that humans will not suddenly evolve to a certain stage, and then immediately hand in hand to sing world peace and world harmony. Peace must be obtained through higher-level military force. This deep-rooted concept has given Murphy Stanton’s The unique elements of the work are deep, dark, serious..."

"In Murphy Stanton's movie world, he is the king, and fate accidentally brought this once lost young man into the movie world, undoubtedly opening the Pandora's Box. What he wants to achieve is impossible."

There is no doubt that the media can guide public opinion. After the crazy hymn of the media, Murphy has reached a peak in both fame and prestige, especially in the industry. He has firmly stood on the front line.

At the same time, in major cities in North America, various Murphy Stanton fan associations have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, appearing one after another. In the IMDB discussion group, they have also entered the top ten of all directors and stars in one fell swoop.

Bill Rossis is also very busy. Warner Bros. and DC Comics fought a very box office turnaround through "Man of Steel". This is seen in everyone's eyes, although the two sides did not renew their contracts due to high remuneration issues. The new director's contract does not prevent other Hollywood filmmakers from chasing after a successful young director.

The film appointments were sent to CAA, many of which were invitations from other five major companies. Murphy also asked Bill Rossis to pick out some good invitations and send them to him for review. If there is a suitable type, I don’t mind signing. One contract, the premise is definitely that there must be a corresponding director's remuneration.

Since he has not found it yet, Murphy will first hand these to Bill Rossis, and he will participate in an auction with Gal Gadot to bid for the "Flower of Liss."
