In America, a land under the banner of so-called freedom, the Catholic forces have no way to attack Murphy. The best way is to continue to attack Murphy and his movies in the media, just like Murphy encouraged the two Like Tenth Century Fox's media to smear Catholicism, verbal wars may best reflect freedom of speech.

This place is neither heaven nor hell. Like most countries in the world, it has its beautiful side and its dirty side, but even Murphy has to admit that freedom of speech is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

For example, those guys in Hollywood liberals can spray the guy sitting in the White House without hesitation. Meryl Streep once dared to give her acceptance speech at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. The president's Donald Trump, apart from hitting back on social platforms, Donald Trump will not do anything to Meryl Streep.

Although I was used to seeing the media being cautious and cautious in this regard, Murphy has been here for so many years, and he has long been used to carrying the banner of freedom of speech and doing some personal things.

For example, choosing the focus of shooting is undoubtedly a very purposeful project.

Some of the words of Archbishop Marquez Costello are not wrong. Murphy's goal is to target the Catholic Church, so as to use the situation to target Oscar.

As for the goodwill released by the Vatican and Pope Benedict XVI, he was flattered and could not accept it.

If it was placed in the 1990s, maybe Murphy would have readily agreed, and then grandly went to the Vatican to visit a group, and maybe he could come back as an honorary citizen of the Vatican, although he didn't know if Catholicism had such a title...

But for now, forget it.

After all, the entire social environment is constantly evolving and changing.

Rejecting the hand of reconciliation extended by Pope Benedict XVI and the Holy See of the Vatican, Murphy's mentality is actually very understandable. To use the words used to describe villains on the other side of the Pacific, it is greedy for profit and takes risks...

Of course, Murphy didn't think he was taking a risk, after all, such a thing had been done before. Zero ↑ ​​Nine Novel Threads

Although in this wonderful land of America, the Catholic Church really has nothing to do with Murphy, let alone order him to cancel the focus preparations, but they have a huge influence in Italy, and they will not be reconciled to Murphy and 20th Century Fox. Get Spotlight delivered to your doorstep for the premiere.

After Twentieth Century Fox and Stanton Studios applied for the focus to participate in the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival, they have not received a response from the Venice Film Festival for a long time.

Under normal circumstances, Murphy's huge reputation and influence, coupled with such a topical subject, will inevitably be welcomed by the Venice Film Festival, which is undergoing market-oriented reforms. It is said that the Venice Film Festival may have been interfered by external forces.

However, Twentieth Century Fox is still working hard. If it doesn't work, it can also go to the Cannes Film Festival.

However, the Cannes Film Festival will be held in May. Although registration is still possible, Murphy must step up preparations and filming.

So the first choice is the Venice Film Festival.

In mid-December, Murphy's crew was formally established. The main actors were all from Stanton's party members, and the behind-the-scenes team was also those people he used to. Since the film was not particularly complicated, he only planned two months of preparation time, and the shooting was also very difficult. It is planned to be completed in about forty days.

As soon as the crew was established, he asked Gal Gadot and Michelle Williams to go to Boston to conduct on-the-spot investigations and contact locations. The exterior scenes will basically be shot in Boston, while the interior scenes will still be set in a warehouse on the outskirts of Venice. scene shooting.

In this film, the performance of the actors is very important. Murphy has already greeted Robert Downey Jr., James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Margot Robbie,

After the five people read the script, they also determined their roles. By the time the crew was established, the five guys had already done a long time of preparation for their respective roles, and even flew to Boston to meet with the prototype of their own characters. We met and talked in detail more than once. Zero ↑ ​​Nine Novel Threads

In terms of roles, Seth Rogen will play Marty Barone, editor-in-chief of the Boston Globe, Robert Downey Jr. will play Robbie Robinson, Jonah Hill will play McLeod Zeens, and James Franco will play lawyer Mitchell. Galloby Tine, the only heavyweight female character Sasha Pever is naturally played by Margot Robbie.

With their respective abilities, there is definitely no problem playing these roles. The only problem is the appearance. It is no exaggeration to say that except for Seth Rogen and Margot Robbie, the rest of the people and the real characters at the time The appearance difference is relatively large.

None of this is too much of a hassle, Hollywood and the film industry are all about turning fantasy into reality.

Hairstyles can be changed, faces can be made up, and body types can also gain or lose weight. For example, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen have lost nearly 30 pounds of fat in the past month or so in order to let themselves The reminders look more in line with the character's requirements.

For the rest of the actors, Murphy has asked the crew to post recruitment announcements on the Screen Actors Union and social platforms, and will audition the rest of the main candidates within 20 days.

In addition, Murphy also held meetings and consultations with Josh Griffith, Helena Espora, David Robbie, and Philip Raschel, and basically determined some technical issues.

For example, the picture of the film continues Murphy's consistent style, mainly in blue and black tones, and Helena Espora's set design and David Robbie's lighting must match it.

In terms of photography, Murphy is not going to use too many techniques, just like a bard who tells a story objectively, laying out the whole film with unremarkable shots.

In order to achieve this seemingly ordinary but actually special requirement, Murphy once again decided to use film to shoot, which can also achieve the special texture of the early 20th century. Thirty-five mm film can also bring some nostalgia to the film. color.

Nostalgia is quite important for a film aiming at Oscars.

In addition, Murphy and Karafes have also determined the release strategy of the film. Focus will most likely try to premiere at the Venice Film Festival. If the word of mouth and response go well, return to North America to participate in the Toronto Film Festival and continue to create momentum , and finally in November, it entered the North American theaters with a small-scale screening method, impacting the next North American awards season!

As for Catholicism, there is no need to worry about North America. The biggest trouble is still in Europe, after all, it is the stronghold of Catholicism.

However, it is not the last century after all. As long as those overseas distributors see that the focus is profitable, they will definitely introduce this film, even if they enter the Catholic Church strongly, they will not be able to stop it.

Murphy remembered very clearly that the previous movie appeared in theaters in most countries and regions in the world.

In the remaining days of December, Murphy, in addition to overseeing the preparations for the crew at the warehouse studio in Venice, exchanging opinions on roles with Robert Downey Jr. and James Franco from time to time, also flew to Boston frequently, considering Suitable location for shooting.

During the period, I also encountered a lot of troubles. After all, Catholicism is the largest denomination in the Boston area, and they are also trying to slow down the crew. For example, any church owned by the Catholic Church is strictly prohibited from filming. Facilities, the crew is also not allowed to enter.

Fortunately, Murphy predicted that the film does not have many church scenes, which can be solved through the setting.

Most of the other locations, with the help of Robbie Robinson and the Boston Globe, were finalized before Christmas. Gal Gadot also signed a formal shooting agreement with the other party on behalf of the crew.

In just ten days, Murphy and Gal Gadot flew to Boston three times. Fortunately, they had their own commercial jets, which made it easier to come and go, which greatly improved the work efficiency of the crew.

Before Christmas, Murphy gave the crew two days off. He and Gal Gadot didn't go out, but hid at home. Taking advantage of the short time, they planned to take a good rest.

As time went by, there were fewer reporters outside the Wave Manor, but the media attacks of Hollywood interest groups against Catholicism and Catholicism against Hollywood have not stopped, and the two sides are still trying their best to attack their opponents.

However, anyone with a discerning eye in the circle can see that after the public opinion is divided and opposed, it is impossible for the Catholic Church to interfere in Hollywood's plan.

In the eyes of many people, Murphy is the key to it, especially at the moment when the public opinion of the two sides is at its sharpest, announcing the shooting and gathering of such a film, the combination of a super big director and sensitive themes, makes Hollywood's interest alliance completely gain momentum. Overwhelmed the party headed by the Catholic Church.

In this regard, many Hollywood insiders, especially those with vested interests, quite approve of Murphy's actions.

Even some old men, including Howard Koch, the current chairman of the academy, praised him and his films.

These are all Murphy's capital in this awards season, especially the capital that surpassed Twelve Years a Slave!

In the past ten days or so, at the behest of Murphy and Carafes, some 20th Century Fox media have dragged out the matter of Woody Allen and Song Yi, so as to attract Blue Jasmine and Kate hind legs.

But they couldn't do 12 Years a Slave. Whether Murphy liked it or not, the topic of black people was too sensitive.

However, Leonardo DiCaprio is not sensitive, and Murphy will never let him go for the best actor and past grievances. (Maker Fiction Network)
