In the period before Christmas 2010, Murphy was concentrating on shooting his own films. Judging from the news that Gal Gadot gave him, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen and James Fran Ke jumped up and down in Hollywood, striving to expand his network, fully using the reputation and appeal of Stanton’s party members, and attracting some big-name stars to appear in the film as much as possible.

These stars appear in soy sauce, which may not bring much box office appeal, but can significantly increase the topic of the film.

As long as there are enough topics, the promotion and marketing will become much simpler.

One week before Christmas, when Murphy called Seth Rogen to communicate, he clearly told Murphy that several quite famous stars had made it clear that they would join the ranks of guest appearances.

Among them, the most famous actor is Emma Watson; Rihanna, who has a close relationship with Seth Rogen, will also participate in the filming.

This film was independently invested by Stanton Studios. Although the investment amount is not large, Murphy is very concerned because if such a film works well, it will inevitably make a lot of profits. If it does not work well, it will become a complete Big bad movie.

No one wants to turn their investment films into bad films, and Murphy is no exception.

Therefore, during the Christmas holidays, he deliberately gathered several of the film’s main creators to the Wave Manor, which is not only a gathering of Stanton’s party members, but also to learn about the latest developments of the project.

On Christmas Day, James Franco and Lily Collins, Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey, Margot Robbie and Carla Faith, In addition, several agents headed by Bill Rossis came to the Wave Manor to participate in the Christmas party carefully prepared by Gal Gadot.

"our wedding?"

Facing Gal Gadot's question, James Franco smiled helplessly and said, "It can only be postponed to next year."

Susan Downey asked concerned, "Why?"

Lily Collins explained, "James is going to prepare this project with Seth, so we decided to postpone the wedding to next year."

The main topic of the party was the new project. Gal Gadot took the female family to the recreation room, while the remaining men discussed "The End of the World".

Several people were sitting around a large round table in the banquet hall. Murphy, as the host, poured a cup of tea for everyone and said, "Try it. This is the top Longjing from the other side of the Pacific Ocean. The taste is similar to the black tea we often drink. It's more refreshing and refreshing than that."

He put down the teapot, walked to his seat, opened the chair to sit down, and asked, "How did you get Emma Watson? Can she agree to a guest appearance for a friendly price of one dollar?"

If you remember correctly, these people have no friendship with Emma Watson and the Harry Potter crew, and this British girl is currently so red that it is not easy to impress her.

"This has nothing to do with me." Seth Rogen shook his head, "Bill invited it."

Bill Rossis put down his teacup and said, "Emma Watson has been a CAA customer several years ago. A few months ago, I just became one of her condo brokers."

"Good means, Bill!" Jonah Hill gave Bill Rossis a thumbs up directly.

It's not easy for a client like Emma Watson to get one of her agent positions.

Bill Rossis smiled, and then said, "She is a smart girl, I just suggested it, and she agreed."

"Oh?" James Franco thoughtfully, "It seems she is not stupid yet."

"I've dealt with Emma Watson." Robert Downey Jr. picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup, and said, "A very clear-headed girl, called Natalie Portmandy. two."

Hearing what he said, the others couldn't help turning their heads to look at Murphy. Murphy shrugged, "Does it have anything to do with me?"

Jonah Hill gave him a **** directly. After all, the dispute between Murphy and Natalie Portman was clear to everyone.

"Emma Watson is indeed very clear-headed." Bill Rossis fully agreed with Robert Downey Jr., "She is well aware of the dilemmas that she may face in the next few years."

The people here are all Hollywood insiders, and they naturally know the meaning of Bill Rothes’ words. The Harry Potter series is about to end. A young actress and female idol with a fixed image, even in the face of pain Transition Period.

With that said, everyone also understood that Emma Watson, under the advice of Bill Rossis, should be trying to establish a good relationship with the Stanton members, especially Murphy, the leader of the party.

"What about Rihanna?" Robert Downey Jr. asked concerned.

"Uh..." Seth Rogen was still thinking about how to word his words, Jonah Hill directly vented his old bottom, "Seth and Rihanna are ******** everyone watching Rogan, laughed at the same time.

"Seth, your taste is so strong."

"Wow, Rihanna's tastes really strong."

Unconsciously, the others split into two factions.

In short, in the mouths of people like Murphy, whether it is Rihanna or Seth Logan, they have become heavy taste lovers.

After talking and laughing for a while, everyone continued to discuss the topic of "The End of the World." Bill Rossis added, "The company has some contracted customers who are also interested in guest appearances."

Murphy said, "You give Seth a list, and he chooses it."

He remembered another thing, "Seth, you can contact Nicholas Cage."

Nicholas Cage also has a three-point low-paid film contract with Stanton Studios. Originally, Murphy wanted to use him in his next film, but Margot Robbie’s dramatic changes have already made him decide The role was cancelled, and it was simply handed over to Seth Rogen.

Most of the power of the crew was delegated to Seth Rogen, who was the director and producer. Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and James Franco were responsible for the project.

Of course, James Franco is habitually lazy, and Jonah Hill is sometimes unreliable, mainly relying on the fat man Seth Rogen.

"Seth, the preparations are already underway." Murphy asked concerned, "When can I start shooting?"

"The fastest word..." Seth Rogen thought about it seriously. "The shooting will not start until mid-January at the earliest. I plan to finish all production in October next year. The 20th Century Fox wants to It will be released during Thanksgiving in November or Christmas time in December."

"Yes." Murphy thought for a while, "Seth, you communicate with Carla Festo in this regard."

In fact, Kara-Fiss and Twentieth Century Fox did not pay much attention to the film "The End of the World". After all, for Twentieth Century Fox, an investment of $30 million in a project is really nothing.

In addition to Seth Logan, Murphy will also ask Gal Gadot to follow up with the release of "The End of the World."

The most important market for this film is North America. In fact, including Murphy's new project, Stanton Studio's projects are mainly aimed at the North American market.

Let alone now, even in the past five years, North America is still the world’s largest film market. If you consider not only the box office, but also the revenue of the entire industry chain, I am afraid that in the future, North America will be It is the world's largest film market.

Therefore, when Murphy makes movies, the first consideration is the North American audience, and then other markets.

For example, in the investment negotiations between Stanton Studios and Wanda, Wanda first made a request for an actress named Tian Jing on the other side of the Pacific to replace Margot before the two sides reached any agreement. -Robbie is the heroine of this film.

At the beginning, Murphy didn't figure out who the actress was. After all, the file in front of him was the transliterated name. Later, he thought of the famous one...

It doesn’t really matter who Wanda requires as the actress, because Murphy didn’t plan to use it at all. He knew that his extremely dark film, even if it appeared in the theater over there through the scissor’s review, would not be there. Too many viewers, the box office will be very average.

As for the profitable peripheral products of Hollywood movies, Murphy did not even consider it. This aspect is basically negligible.

But having said that, Murphy is still quite curious about the background of that actress. This is a question he once puzzled. When the other party was unknown, he could let a group of big names serve as green leaves for her. However, it is not popular, it is a box office poisonous existence...

However, not only did this have no negative impact, the actress's path has become wider and wider, and later she has taken some important roles in Hollywood super blockbuster films, which has to be said to be a miracle.

What is even more surprising is that no matter which media it is, they dare not report on her specific origins and who is behind her. Even in a relatively open place on the Internet, there is no real information about her background.

An actress, to such an extent, is definitely not able to be maintained or praised by the rich. If there is no strong background behind her, no one will believe it.

Both the former Murphy and the well-informed Murphy now believe that this actress is definitely a super strange existence.

Since Murphy did not intend to use actors on the other side of the Pacific, he directly rejected Wanda’s prerequisite, and the negotiations between the two sides inevitably broke down. Murphy’s idea of ​​investing in the Wanda cinema was completely aborted and might even affect it. When the film was reviewed over there, Twentieth Century Fox also made preparations for the film not to be reviewed in the Pacific Ocean market.
