Chapter Ninety-Five: Strange Voices
It will be on the shelves after 12 noon on Friday, and it will explode when the time comes, asking for recommendation tickets!
Leaning on Murphy's shoulder, Kerry Mulligan was just crying, tears quickly wet Murphy's clothes, and he gently patted the girl's shoulder, but he didn't know what to say.
Whether he lives on the other side of the Pacific or comes to the United States, he is alone, and he can see people's hearts clearly, and he really wants to comfort a young girl, but he doesn't know what to do.
He had no experience in this area at all.
"Alright, dear." Murphy could only gently pat Kerry Mulligan on the shoulder and whispered, "It's okay, it's going to be okay." ”
Not far away, James Franco faintly heard this sentence and couldn't help but cover his forehead, this guy was not as smart as he thought.
"I'm scared, Murphy......" Kerry Mulligan finally looked up, "I'm really scared." ”
Murphy squeezed out a smile, "It's all over." ”
This is Kerry Mulligan's last scene, and it's already clear.
"Get up," Murphy tilted his head to gesture to the people around him, "they're all watching, it doesn't look like a lady." ”
"I don't want to be a lady."
With that said, Carey Mulligan wrinkled her nose, pushed herself Murphy's body, stood up, reached out to wipe the tears from her face, she looked rather weird with a needle on her body.
"Baker! Jack! Murphy instructed the two men next to him, "Remove Kerry's makeup." ”
With that, he patted Carey Mulligan's hand lightly and walked towards the director's monitor.
Kerry Mulligan turned his head to look at him, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked upwards on his originally broken face, and this feeling of being cared for was wonderful.
Even if she catches the pig intestines again...... Kerry Mulligan quickly shook his head, so disgusting things should not have a next time.
After watching the footage just shot, Murphy asked the crew to move the venue to shoot other scenes, and Tobin Bell, who played the jigsaw, also appeared on the set.
Originally, Murphy wanted to find a random actor to replace Tobin Bell, but the audition of several people was not ideal, and preconceived notions often have a deep impact on people at some times, so he simply asked Bill Rothes to contact Tobin Bell, fortunately, the other party has played many small roles in the film, it is not difficult to find, and the salary is not high.
Since the conditions are right, Murphy naturally has no reason to find someone else, not to mention that in his heart, Tobin Bell is the spokesperson of the jigsaw at all.
Time passed, the third week of filming had passed, and the entire plan was only more than two-thirds of the way, perhaps his own ability was really insufficient, Murphy did not complete the shooting in less than twenty days like the online materials he had seen.
Another important reason is that he is not only a director, but also a producer of the project, in addition to the director's work, he also needs to be responsible for a lot of daily work of the crew.
For example, the safety management and logistics management of the crew.
Needless to say, such as personnel safety, on-set safety, equipment safety, and financial safety, each item is related to whether the crew can shoot smoothly as planned, and there must be no sloppiness.
This also made Murphy understand the importance of a professional producer, he can be a director under the name, if he has to take on this actual position in the future, he will definitely be tired to death if he changes to a slightly larger project.
Originally, he had a suitable candidate, but unfortunately his project and company were too small, and the other party's goals and ambitions were too big.
In mid-May, one actor after another came to the crew, and after filming a few scenes, they left one after another, including Murphy, basically all the behind-the-scenes production personnel made a cameo, Murphy was ready to transfer back to Stanton Studios for filming, but before that, the crew was given two days off, after a long time of filming, most of the people were a little tired, and actors like Lily, who had not yet appeared in the filming, also had to use these two days to conduct some necessary rehearsals.
In the past two days, except for James Franco and a few actors to rehearse, the rest of the behind-the-scenes staff have basically taken a holiday, but Murphy just slept lazily and still came to the warehouse set in the small city of Venice to deal with some work.
Some budgets in terms of logistics and finances need to be reviewed and signed by him, and he also needs to adjust the shooting plan for the next few days according to the actual situation of the shooting.
Sitting in the office at the door of the warehouse, Murphy put aside the revised shooting plan, took a copy of the financial statements and looked through it, the project is now in progress, the crew still has nearly $150,000 left on their books, and the remaining shooting can be completed in a few days, and if the post-production can ensure speed, the original plan of $800,000 is very likely to complete the entire film.
The dollar is constantly depreciating, and the film, which came out a few years in advance, plus Murphy removed some oversized scenes such as car chases, basically controlled the budget.
The office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Kerry Mulligan, whose hair was dyed back to blonde, reached in to take a look, and when he saw Murphy, his eyes crooked, and he pushed the door and walked in.
Murphy glanced up at her, didn't say anything, and continued to look at his financial statements.
Carey Mulligan took two bottles of mineral water from the box behind the door, walked over and put one bottle on Murphy's desk, opened the other bottle himself, took two large sips, brought a chair, and sat across from Murphy.
She just looked at Murphy, but didn't speak, as if she was afraid of disturbing his work.
After a while, when Murphy closed the stack of materials, he said with a slight complaint, "I knew you wouldn't rest, and your head should hurt again if you do this again." ”
Murphy looked up, looked at her and smiled, putting the financial statements aside, "Isn't it time to take a break?" ”
"Really?" Carey Mulligan's eyes widened, he jumped out of his chair and turned to his side, "Let's go, let's go out for a walk, this little city has a great view." ”
She reached out, grabbed Murphy's arm, and left.
Since the last movie, they have been working together, and Carey Mulligan knows that Murphy is prone to headaches once he is too busy, and this time he came to catch him out and relax.
"Don't worry, wait a minute." Murphy broke free of Carey Mulligan's hand, packed up all the papers, locked them in the iron cabinet in the back, and followed her out of the office.
As soon as they went out, the two looked at each other in surprise, and then they both turned their heads to look at the set of the warehouse.
Someone!
This warehouse has been simply renovated by the crew, but it is still dilapidated, and it is not filmed today, the light on the set is dim, and when you look at it from the office, it looks dark, and there are bursts of strange sounds, which seem to be crying and laughing.
"I'll take a look."
Murphy whispered and walked over there, and Carey Mulligan hurried after him and grabbed Murphy's arm, "Don't leave me behind." ”
The two of them walked lightly to the side of the set, the sound seemed to come from a set near the back wall of the warehouse, and after getting closer, they could hear that it was a little girl's voice, which was a little familiar.
Carey Mulligan leaned into Murphy's ear and reminded, "Lily Collins. ”
