Hearing what Gal Gadot said, Murphy looked down and saw names like Bella and Edward, and immediately understood what she was looking at. She shook her head and said, "My dear, unless You play the heroine yourself."

Gal Gadot gave him a pair of eyeballs.

This kind of film is completely banned from being adapted. It doesn't matter how the two play in private, as long as they are happy with each other, it is quite another matter to get it on the screen for others to appreciate.

Murphy thought of a bad idea, "Why not, I will get a video camera, next time we make a large-scale movie, we will star in the two of us..."

Gal Gadot was also interested, "Yes, we will use it to cheer up in the future."

After discussing this topic for a while, Gal Gadot asked again, "You bought the copyright of this fan novel and really want to adapt it into a movie? Are you afraid of infringing on Stephanie Meyer's copyright?"

This novel has received a lot of attention on the Internet, but the names of the heroes and heroines are Isabella Swann and Edward Cullen, which are completely fan fictions of "Twilight".

"Don't look, go to sleep." Murphy took Gal Gadot's phone, turned it off and put it aside, and explained, "I have asked Erica Leonard to change the character's name. "

Today Erica Leonard has not even used the pen name of EL James, and the sadomasochistic novels written by Isabella Swann and Edward Cullen are only a small part of it published on the Internet. , Has not yet produced a sensational effect, Murphy’s Stanton Studio did not expend much effort to get Erica Leonard to sign a copyright agreement, which will be fully operated by Stanton Studio. All matters from publication to film adaptation.

Before, Murphy also met Erica Leonard and suggested that she should be renamed "Fifty Shadows of XXX".

As long as Erica Leonard makes changes, Stanton Studios will cooperate with Amazon to launch the first e-book series of this novel.

After having a certain reader base, then adapt the film.

Because they slept late at night, Murphy and Gal Gadot did not get up early as usual, nor did they take care of work, and they rarely slept at home.

Compared to the young Murphy and Gal Gadot, Stan Lee is older and feels less. As long as there is something he can't let go of, he often gets up early.

As soon as the sun climbed into the sky, a Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped in front of Marvel Studios. Stan Lee pushed the door and got out of the car. He happened to meet Kevin Fitch and greeted him with Together, he walked towards the big conference room of Marvel Studios.

Although there is still some time before work, Marvel Comics executives have been waiting in the conference room long ago. Marvel Comics CEO Avi-Allard sat at the top of the conference table without saying a word. Like everyone else, just in Wait quietly, waiting for the arrival of the protagonist of this meeting.

That person has reason to make them wait, because he has created brilliant performance for Marvel comics, one person almost propped up Marvel Pictures, and once again brought glory.

The door of the conference room was knocked lightly, and a secretary walked in with Stan Lee and Kevin Fitch. Everyone’s eyes instantly focused on Kevin Fitch alone, as if looking at the comic. A mighty hero.

Kevin Fitch walked toward his seat and nodded at the look.

Just walking to the conference table, Avi Allard stood up and waited here. He took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shook his hand heavily with Kevin Fitch. After he sat down, he announced the start of the Jane meeting.

This is a business meeting with very clear goals and pertinence. There is no verbosity, and the meeting goes straight to the theme.

"The exact statistics for the early box office of "Thor" have come out."

The speaker is Avi-Allard himself, everyone’s ears are pricked up, and everyone here is the executives of Marvel Comics. The performance of the company is closely related to their future and destiny. No one wants to see "Thor" a big success. success.

"The early box office is $6.56 million!"

As Avi Allard said this sentence, many people showed a smile on their faces.

Indeed, compared to the midnight box office record of more than 10 million US dollars created by "Iron Man 2", the figure of US$6.56 million is not too dazzling, but here are all true industry insiders. For a non-sequel movie, the significance is very unusual.

The only thing that makes them suspicious is the competition.

However, the numbers Avi Allard said made these people smile more brightly.

"Murphy Stanton's "City of Chaos" has an early box office of only 3.58 million US dollars!"

There was a burst of laughter in the conference room. Stan Lee clapped his palms first, and the applause was abrupt and monotonous, but after a while, the rest of the people also applauded, and the applause gathered into the ocean!

They are convinced that as long as the first weekend box office can continue the early performance, "Thor" is undoubtedly a success, and Marvel's superhero movie will be a great success again!

"For Marvel Pictures, for Marvel Comics, this summer is a critical moment."

Waiting for the applause to stop, Avi-Allard's gaze swept over the Marvel comics executives one by one, and said very solemnly, "Next year we will launch "Avengers" to the market. Important, the focus of this summer is "Thor", mobilize all corresponding resources to fully support this film!"

The specific tasks were assigned one by one, and the meeting soon came to an end. Everyone at Marvel was full of enthusiasm and appeared extremely confident.

"Wait next time I meet Murphy Stanton..."

Stan Lee said to the young people next to him, "I will use the facts to educate him, how powerful Marvel's superhero is!"

A knock on the door suddenly sounded, and one of Kevin Firth's assistants came in with the file, walked directly next to Kevin Firth, first handed the file to Kevin Fitch, and then whispered in his ear.

As he was sitting close to Kevin Fitch, Stan Lee could see that Kevin Fitch opened the file and took a look, his face seemed to change.

"What's wrong, Kevin?" he asked concerned.

Kevin Fitch has always had no affection for Stan Lee and ignored him. Instead, he stood up and said, "I just got a statistics."

Hearing what he said, the chaotic conference room immediately quieted down, and Avi-Allard also cast his attention.

There was no smile on Kevin Fitch's face. "CinemaScore just released a statistics and forecast."

It has not been a year or two since Marvel Comics has directly entered the film business. CinemaScore's accurate statistics and predictions on the North American film market are somewhat known to the senior management of Marvel Comics.

Stan Lee looked at Kevin Fitch's face and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Kevin Fitch said slowly, "The latest "Thor" theater audience rating by CinemaScore is B, and only about 66% of the early audiences are satisfied with our movie!"

"what?"

"What?"

"This is impossible!"

"This unscientific?"

"how so?"

There was a strange voice in the conference room, which formed a sharp contrast with the excitement just now.

"Where is Murphy Stanton?" Stan Lee asked anxiously, "What about his "City of Chaos"?"

"The situation is very unfavorable for us!" Kevin Fitch said solemnly, "The "City of Chaos" theater has the highest A+ rating, and nearly 91% of the early audiences think this film is very exciting!"

Stan Lee's previous smile gradually stiffened.

Kevin Fitch added, “Based on previous pre-sales and last night’s midnight box office statistics, as well as live audience ratings, CinemaScore made box office predictions for Thor and City of Chaos.”

Everyone pricked their ears. After all, they all know that CinemaScore's prediction accuracy is still quite high.

"They think "Thor" can get around $24 million in the box office on the first day, and "City of Chaos" can get around $22 million."

Hearing these two numbers, Stan Lee felt a lot more relaxed, smiled, and said, "Then we are still the box office champions!"

Interrupted by Stan Lee, Kevin Fitch frowned and continued, "But CinemaScore believes that Thor has insufficient stamina and will be impacted by Chaos City. The North American box office will be suppressed by 5000 in the first weekend. Less than 10,000 U.S. dollars, and "City of Chaos" will win this weekend's box office championship with about 60 million U.S. dollars!"

The smile that pulled out hadn't been put away, and it froze on Stan Lee's face. He coughed in a low voice, and to avoid embarrassment, he said, "CinemaScore's prediction may not be accurate. They didn't miss the time."

"That's right!"

"Isn't "Iron Man" they also predicted low?"

There were a lot of voices echoing Stan Lee in the office. After all, the early box office of "Thor" was nearly twice that of "City of Chaos", which was clearly placed in front of them, and it was more realistic than those ethereal predictions.

"Everyone! Everyone!" Kevin Fitch patted the table lightly, and the discussion in the conference room gradually disappeared. Then he said, "I said these statistics, not that our "Thor" is not good. It is to remind everyone that we must never take it lightly, because we are facing a very strong competitor, and there is no one who can underestimate Murphy Stanton and his movies!"

He strongly emphasized, "Have you all forgotten how strong the word-of-mouth effect of Murphy Stanton's film is? The spontaneous spread of word-of-mouth by the audience will make his film more and more famous!"

"So, we can't underestimate the enemy!" Kevin Fitch continued, "We have to put out all available resources and continue to use them in the promotion of this film, especially in the name of the Avengers!"

This proposal was approved by most people, and the meeting also began to discuss how to let Thor interact with the Avengers to increase the topic of the film.
