Chapter 345 Special Talent

Whether it is a movie or a TV series, if you want to be successful, you must have a core concept and a clear theme. If you can't do these two things well, it can be said that you have already failed halfway. [fights break the sky

]【No pop-up window..】

From the initial formulation of the script to the informal preparations after "Gone Girl", Murphy and George Martin had enough exchanges, and the TV series will continue the core theme of the series.

Those who participated in today's meeting were the heads of all departments of the crew, and these people must understand the theme of the project.

"All our filming and production will be carried out around this theme." Murphy said very directly, "There is no absolute justice, only eternal power!"

Kara Firth glanced at Murphy. This project can undoubtedly truly reflect the cruelty of the world, rather than a childish play like a house.

In the script, each character does not tell people that kindness and justice are good people, and there will be good rewards. He just portrays everyone's choices and human struggles when facing major events. It is not perfect heroism, nor is it old and cunning. In the whole episode, perhaps only Ned Stark is loyal and kind from beginning to end. Others, whether it is Cersei, Tywin, little devil or Arya, have complex the human side.

There is nothing more fascinating about this script than this, and it is also different from other TV series.

Basically, Murphy was talking alone in the meeting, and there will be specific exchange meetings in the future. The meeting ended soon, but Murphy did not leave the Fox Building, but went to her office with Kara Firth.

When passing by a large office, Murphy met Dave Scola. Unlike in the past, this executive of 20th Century Fox didn't bother to say hello to him. He just looked at him with a dark face. And Coffee - Firth walked into the office on the other side.

"He seems to have less hair recently. [Fights Break Sphere]" Murphy pulled out a chair, leaned on it, and said lazily, "It's about to become the Mediterranean Sea."

"Because I don't want him to have a good time." Kara Firth pressed the intercom and asked the assistant to bring two cups of coffee. "As long as he is still in my way, his hair will be less and less."

The secretary quickly brought the coffee, and Murphy thanked him after receiving it, and said, "I heard that more and more people on the board of 20th Century Fox are dissatisfied with him?"

Kara Firth took a sip of coffee and said, "It's not a small matter to screw up a film with a cost of 150 million U.S. dollars, and it's not a small matter for any film company. If it weren't for the success of the "X-Men" series, Dave Firth would Cora is long gone."

She sneered, "But the company has high hopes for the release of "X-Men 3: The Last Stand" next year, and even invested more than 200 million U.S. dollars in production costs. If the film's North American box office fails to reach the expected 300 million U.S. dollars, Not having the $600 million expected worldwide, he's going to be in serious trouble."

"He thinks the film will live up to expectations?" Murphy asked.

"Yeah." Kara Firth nodded, "As far as I know, Dave Scola's box office target is 800 million US dollars."

Hearing Kara Firth's words, Murphy was not surprised. "X-Men 3: The Last Stand" is not the beginning of an original film or series after all, but based on the previous two films that were well-known and box office. The slogan of the final chapter of the trilogy was also launched. If the quality of the film is guaranteed, 800 million US dollars may not be impossible.

The production cost of the film is more than 200 million U.S. dollars, plus the necessary distribution promotion and marketing expenses, I am afraid that the figure of 800 million U.S. dollars can only be paid back through the box office.

If so, Dave - Scola would be quite conservative.

"It's a pity," Murphy picked up the coffee cup and shook his head before drinking, "Everyone thinks they are the protagonists of the world, but they are actually just dust from a period of history. [Gate of the Mysterious World]"

Karla Firth laughed, "You polished the script with George Martin, it seems that you have learned a lot."

"Indeed it is.

"Murphy raised his coffee cup to her and said, "The old man has rich experience and life experience. Although he is an otaku now, he has encountered many things before and has a thorough understanding of the world. Many points of view are worthwhile. place. "

George Martin's thoughts are actually fully reflected in his own works. For example, everyone thinks that he is the protagonist of the world before he dies, but in fact only history is.

It seems that everyone only pursues the realization of self-worth, and at the same time, they unconsciously promote social progress; good people and bad people are the same person, wise people and fools are the same person, friends and enemies are the same person; strategy and integrity It can help you fly high, and it can also make you die faster; doing the same thing will have different results, and it is often not something wrong that leads to bad results, but luck; everyone has their own advantages and limitations; life I like to joke with everyone, and it doesn’t only target anyone; persuading a person to do something with you can involve religious brainwashing, righteousness, coercion, emotional blackmail, etc., and different methods are used according to different objects; Ideal And honor is not as important as protecting loved ones, love and fantasy are not as important as reality.

The reason why a person becomes himself is caused by time, family, environment, experience and so on. All his choices, seemingly accidental, are actually inevitable. History is the past and the future.

If you don't adapt, you will perish.

In fact, after reading the adaptation of the script hosted by George Martin, Murphy was more touched than reading the original. Now he is undoubtedly in a game of power belonging to Hollywood, and some things can still resonate.

These games of power are often used all over the world.

For example, Murphy is an interestist, but he never makes all choices based on interests alone.

Benefits can unite many people, but not all. Terror can deter many people, but not all. Praise and honor can inspire a few people, sometimes few, but not extinct.

In the script, the delicate balance that Game of Thrones can achieve is the result of the two pillars of profit and terror, rather than honor, because the rules of the game in this world are actually the rules recognized by most people. This rule is called Self-interest is also called bullying and fearing the hard, and it is also called accepting what is good. These are rooted in human nature, and human nature has never been lacking in selfishness, jealousy and narrowness. Although these words have antonyms, the antonyms are just a tributary after all, and the long night has been like this since ancient times.

Of course, there are always people who maintain their honor. They become the laughing stock of the winners, and they also become the new gods that the rulers try to shape. It is not for everyone to learn Buddhism, but for everyone to believe in Buddhism.

"The dispute between you and Dave Scola," Murphy said without being polite to Kara Firth, "is also a game of thrones."

"That's right." Kara Firth said of course, "So, I have been chasing him fiercely, and I will never relax until he quits."

"Don't give up." Murphy encouraged, "There is only a thin line between kindness and weakness, and only the winner is worthy of the word kindness."

Kara Firth raised her eyebrows, "Do you think I'm a kind person?"

Murphy looked at her seriously, and after a while, he said, "It doesn't look like that at all."

So, he has absolutely no need to worry about Kara Firth.

The two talked a few more words, and the topic returned to "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones".

"The investment and crew have basically been determined." Kara Firth is more like Murphy's logistics minister. "We have prepared for a long time, but in terms of actors, have you thought about the specific candidates?"

"I plan to invite Sean Bean to audition for Ned Stark. He has a certain reputation, his acting skills are not bad, and his salary is not too high."

This is one of the few actors in "Game of Thrones" that Murphy has limited memory. "I also invited Lena Headey, who starred in "The Brothers Grimm" this year, to audition for Cersei Lannister."

He hadn't watched many episodes of this TV series before. The biggest impression he had on Cersei Lannister was having sex with his twin brother. He could remember the actress who played the role because Lena Headey also starred in " Leonardo's Queen in Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta.

Although these two people have not given a clear answer yet, judging from the feedback from Bill Rosses, it should not be a problem for them to participate in the audition.

"In the first season, there are seventeen main characters involved in the plot." Kara Firth frowned, "Other actors are easy to say, Hollywood has never been too difficult to find suitable actors, but..."

She frowned even tighter, "The little devil Tyrion Lannister is not easy to deal with."

"Yeah." Murphy nodded, "Qualified actors are not easy to find."

Maybe dwarves are not hard to find in this world, but dwarfs with acting skills may not be hard to find at all.

"Use forced perspective to shoot?" Kara Firth asked concerned, "Or find a stand-in actor to use CG technology to change the face?"

"Look around and see if you can find a suitable actor."

Murphy really can't remember the name of the little devil from the past, but he later starred in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" and many other films. He is definitely a very successful special actor, "I have already Let Bill go to find it through the channel of CAA."

Such a special talent should not be hard to find.

The "Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" directed by him, except for a few actors, will definitely change his face. In addition to not remembering who most of the actors are, another reason is time.

Those young actors and child actors who used to be are probably just children now, maybe some of them haven't been born yet.

Not everyone is Sean Bean, age is not a problem, and he can be clearly remembered by Murphy, a "Lord of the Rings" fan.

"Where's Daenerys Targaryen?"

This is almost a heroine-like existence, and Kara Firth is still quite concerned, "Do you have a candidate for Dragon Mother?" (To be continued.)
