Hollywood Road

As for the actors of the film, Gal Gadot has her own ideas. She has already contacted Bill Rossis and asked him to help find the less famous and outstanding actors and actresses under the CAA. This will be put in other places. There may be difficulties in the circle, but it is too easy to do in Hollywood. There are countless handsome men and women who can't find a chance in Hollywood.

In addition, she also contacted several Victoria’s Secret angel models. With the plump and tall figures of the Victoria’s Secret supermodels, it’s perfect to play the heroine. Just find the ones with the most beautiful faces. I think they can satisfy many people. Appetite, there are some Victoria's Secret supermodel faces that look quite weird. They may be in line with the fashion aesthetic, but they may not be liked by movie fans.

As for the male lead, you can also look for professional male models...

These are not in a hurry. Gal Gadot knows that the most important task now is to help Murphy get the last two films including "Dark City". Murphy has formulated a rigorous plan for this purpose since last year. The first step was also very smooth and successful. The best actor, best director and Oscar statuette for best picture are the best proof.

But she knew that Murphy wanted more than that, but to use the unprecedented favorable situation created to leave indelible traces throughout Hollywood.

After learning about Murphy's plan, Gal Gadot also gradually understood why Murphy became friends with people like Diego-Ros, and their pursuit of being famous in this world seemed very enthusiastic.

Gal Gadot suddenly shook his head. How many people in this world can escape the influence of fame and fortune? It's impossible for her and Murphy anyway.

In the following time, her main energy was still on assisting Murphy with the work related to the studio and "Dark City". The progress of "Fifty Shades of Gray" was very slow.

On the other hand, the eavesdropping scandal by News Corp and the Murdoch family did not directly affect 20th Century Fox in the end. "Dark City" will be released simultaneously in the UK as planned. This also made Murphy a sigh of relief and lost the UK. This kind of main market is something he doesn't want to see anyway.

Everything is back on track. 2012 has passed. In the new year, the promotion and distribution of the film are proceeding as planned. After the commercial landed in the Super Bowl advertising time in early February, Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox The first official trailer of "Dark City" was released, and fans responded strongly. Countless people expressed their eagerness for this film through the Internet and social networking sites.

Subsequently, a special film market statistics agency released a data showing that in the past two years, "City of Chaos" was the most pirated film downloaded online. For Stanton Studios and Twentieth Century Fox Said that this is definitely not a good thing, but it is enough to prove that in the backyard era, "City of Chaos" directly or indirectly laid a strong audience foundation for "Dark City" by virtue of its strong word-of-mouth effect.

Viral marketing, regular publicity, various statistics...20th Century Fox has achieved the ultimate in publicity and marketing.

In late February, Murphy completed all the post-production work of the film after adding the titles of Twentieth Century Fox and Stanton Studios. The film immediately held a very small-scale preview inside Twentieth Century Fox. The effect brought by the reflection is shocking.

"Murphy..."

Enduring the discomfort caused by the bright light that suddenly appeared after the curtains were opened, James Murdoch looked straight at Murphy, like a devout believer looking at God, "I really don’t know what to say. I can't find a suitable adjective for such a movie, such a shock."

Murphy said a little modestly, "You are too acclaimed, James."

"No, no, no..." James Murdoch waved his hand again and again, "This is definitely the best commercial movie in the new century!"

He looked at Murphy like an apple tree that could grow golden apples automatically.

Other Fox executives around are also watching Murphy like this. It’s not the first time that they have watched Murphy’s internal screenings. Those films in the past are also very good and brilliant, but there is no one like "Dark City". "So shocking, shocking the soul!

This is definitely Murphy Stanton's most peak work since filming!

Although James Murdoch has been in charge of 20th Century Fox for a few years, he has a professional background in film and has a certain understanding of the market. At this moment, a strong idea in his mind gradually emerged. "The Dark City" must be a movie that can generate huge sums. A profitable commercial film, if it works well, has a billion-dollar box office around the world...

"You all listen!" James Murdoch is very clear that the quality of a film is only the basis for commercial success, and publicity and distribution are the key, "mobilize all the resources that the company can mobilize to operate the distribution of this film!"

He also said to Murphy, "I will personally call the CEOs of the three major commercial theaters in the United States to communicate with them about the theaters."

Murphy nodded slightly, smiled and said, "I'm waiting for your good news."

James Murdoch said a few more words, did not stay too much, together with other senior 20th Century Fox, quickly left this large conference room used for temporary screenings, Murphy followed Carla Faith, Went to her office.

"coffee?"

Entering the office, Carla Faith asked, "Or black tea?"

Murphy was not polite to her, "Coffee."

Carla Faith walked to the coffee machine, took a cup of coffee to Murphy, and said, "I thought "Man of Steel" was your limit in commercial movies. I didn't think about this "Dark City"..."

She didn't seem to know what to say. She thought for a while, and then said, "If it weren't for time, the film could be released in this awards season, I think you have a high chance of winning the Oscar for Best Director. "

"This kind of thing..." Murphy shook his head, "Who can tell."

Carla Faith put the coffee cup on the table in front of Murphy and said, "You must still have a back hand."

Murphy knew what she was talking about, and did not deny, "As far as I know, the Catholic Church and the Vatican are very dissatisfied with the film "Diego-Face" and the choice of Oscar. An investigation process has been initiated internally. Although they don’t know which step they have reached, they will certainly not abandon the diocese of central and southern California."

He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, "My biggest worry is that the Catholic Church is silent. If they don't do anything, the situation is not good for us. It seems that the Catholic Church will not remain silent forever."

Not to mention the Archbishop Marquez Costello. Since the last Oscars, the Vatican has been Pope Benedict XVI alone. He has expressed his views on him and the "Diego" on several occasions. -Ross, and the dissatisfaction of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

This group of people in Hollywood, whether they are old men or young people, actually have one thing in common, that is, they think that they are all different beings and deserve more freedom...

Therefore, Hollywood is the place where liberalism is the most widespread in the United States. Those stars and celebrities, carrying the banner of liberalism, relying on their charisma and reputation, dare to publicly insult the US president.

Those who dare to spray George W. Bush, Austrian black charcoal and ***, and even some other group forces, are actually not fools, but smart people. They all know that in this era, as super celebrities, they flaunt the banner of freedom. It is impossible for those people to do anything to them, but to improve their reputation.

The foundation of all these existences is actually the so-called freedom. Without these so-called freedoms, Hollywood would not be Hollywood.

"I heard you are still operating for Diego Rose?" Carla Faith changed the subject. "Can he get parole?"

Murphy took a sip from the coffee cup, "It's very difficult, but I always have to try."

Carla Faith shrugged slightly. "It's not like you."

"Me?" Murphy asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with me?"

"You have helped him leave the world famous." Carla Faith said directly, "it's worthy of the friendship between you."

"You can't say that." Murphy made an analogy. "It's like I'm in jail, what would you do."

"Me?" Carla Faith pointed to herself, and suddenly smiled, "I promise to visit you in prison every month until you are released from prison."

Murphy was speechless and didn't bother to talk about this. As long as there was a one percent chance, he didn't want Ross to die in prison. Although it was very difficult, he never gave up.

Carla Faith sighed and didn't intend to persuade her anymore. She knew what Murphy was like, and just said, "Don't put yourself in, you always have to think about how Gadot feels."

"I know." Murphy nodded, "Did you know me the first day? How could I let things involve me."

He couldn't get people out, and even put himself in. He never did this kind of stupid thing.

Murphy also changed the topic, "The film was released in early May. Do we have strong opponents on the weekends?"

The news that "Dark City" was set for the 2013 summer file and started the weekend was circulated very early in the circle, and there was no heavyweight film competition at the same weekend.

"Yes." Carla Faith thought for a moment and said, "Van Diesel's "Fast and Furious" series has always been released on the last weekend of April, and "Fast and Furious 6" will be released the previous weekend. ."

"What about the next weekend?" Murphy asked.

"The movie of your old friend." Carla Faith suddenly laughed. "Leonardo DiCaprio's "The Great Gatsby" will be released on May 10."

Murphy tapped on the arm of the chair lightly. "These two films."
