Chapter 41: Seeking Advice
Today's three watches, there is a chapter at 3 p.m. and 9 p.m., ask for recommendation votes!
"Here it is."
Three vans, a slightly worn minibus and a black used Ford sedan pulled up in front of a detached house in the northern basin of the San Fernando Valley, and Murphy got out of the Ford and said loudly, "Unload the car, we'll live here today." ”
Make-up artist Jack Watson, lighting designer John Douglas, prop designer Mia Sucre, set designer Sunny Clegg, and three interns, including Paul Wilson, now have a new identity – stevedores.
Murphy only rented three cars, and had no intention of hiring any more stevedores, let alone the rest of the crew, and after saying hello, he took off his coat and threw it into the driver's seat of the Ford, and was the first to walk behind the van loaded with camera equipment, open the cabinet door behind it, and jump on it first.
The director leads by example, and others dare not slack off, these people are at the bottom of Hollywood, and they know that multi-ability has always been the characteristic of small crews.
James Franco, of course, had no interest in helping, got out of the minibus and unconsciously walked to the back door of the Ford sedan, but the window was closed, and Bill Rothes inside seemed to be explaining something to Kerry Mulligan.
"Murphy has hired a professional tutor for you, and the person is my ...... recommend"
As if not seeing Carey Mulligan's expression, Bill Rothes formulaically said, "She'll be in place tomorrow at the latest, you have to keep more than four hours of study time a day, and she'll be with you in place of me for the next few days." ”
Carey Mulligan's dissatisfaction was written on his face, "Is it okay to do without a governess?" ”
From the beginning of joining the crew, she was like a bird out of the cage, free and happy, and the feeling of filming was also very good, this is the life she wants.
Learn? Tutor? A step-by-step life? Working hard for college? She's really fed up with these!
Bill Rothes glanced at Carey Mulligan again, didn't say anything, but opened the car door and got out of the car, first glanced at James Franco who was standing on the other side of the car, and then looked into the distance.
At the end of the line of sight, you can see a bowl of clear water, and the clear lake water combined with the clear blue sky brings a rare sense of comfort, and the weather here is much better than the dry city of Los Angeles.
"Hi, Murphy."
He withdrew his gaze and walked towards the van, asking Murphy, who was walking towards the house with a few reels of film, "Is there anything I need help with?" ”
"Thanks, we can take care of it." Murphy stretched out a free hand and waved it at his side, "You can just take care of Kerry." ”
Carrying the film, Murphy walked into the rented house and entered the living room through the entrance, Jessica Chastain stood on the left side of the living room, directing everyone to put the various goods shipped into the two rooms that served as temporary storage rooms, and the real estate agent named Wayne who had seen before was standing next to him, constantly reminding the crew to be careful so as not to damage the exquisite decoration of the house.
While most of the house is still the same as Murphy's last visit, the scenes used for filming, such as the living room and kitchen, have completely changed color, and he himself and set decorator Sunny Clegg have been here several times before filming begins, and the background style for the set has been worked out.
Sunny Clayton and two USC interns have been busy here for a full week, and with the cooperation of Wayne's professional team, several rooms used for filming, such as the living room, have been replaced with new wallpaper, as well as sofas, tables and chairs, and jackets, which have also been replaced with the colors Murphy wants.
To put it simply, the scene here should meet the needs of Hayley and Jeff's rivalry, and it should be commensurate with the colors of their costumes, so the overall color is mainly gray and red.
A good story is the foundation of a movie, but the importance of visual stimulation, let alone someone like Murphy who has a professional learning experience, even ordinary fans know it.
After unloading the equipment and goods that had been shipped and sending the real estate agent away, Murphy asked Jessica Chastain to take the others upstairs to pick their own rooms, and in order to save money, the entire crew would have to live here for a long time to come.
The house was not particularly large and it was impossible to have one room per person, except for Murphy and the heroes and heroines James Franco and Carey Mulligan, everyone else had to live in group dormitories.
There is also the problem of eating, with the end of the filming of the café, the free supply of old Lynch has also come to an end, and now Murphy can only take out the crew's pocket to be responsible for this part of the expenditure, for him now, the diet of a dozen people for at least a month is also a big number.
However, there are no star-level actors in the crew, and the catering does not need to be of high grade, and Murphy formulates a meal based on relatively cheap foods such as burgers and pizza.
Since it was already afternoon when he came here, it didn't take long for the sun to fall below the horizon, and after eating pizza from a fast food restaurant, Murphy returned to his room upstairs and continued to review the shooting plan previously formulated.
Sitting at a desk, Murphy reviewed the plan one by one, and there would definitely be many unpredictable difficulties in the future......
There was a soft knock on the door, and James Franco's voice came from outside, "Are you inside, Murphy?" ”
"Jim ......" Murphy closed the plan and turned off the lamp, "Please come in." ”
The door was pushed open from the outside, James Franco carried a bottle of wine in his left hand and two glasses in his right hand, walked in and looked at it, then sat down on the small sofa opposite the door, and put the wine and glass on the coffee table next to him, "Still working?" Relax with a drink. ”
Murphy put away the plan, walked over there, sat on the sofa on the other side of the coffee table, and was not polite, took the bottle of wine and opened it directly, poured a glass for himself and James Franco, picked up the glass and gestured over there, and took a sip, "Very good whiskey." ”
"I brought it from home." James Franco touched Murphy's glass, drank the small half glass of wine, and his face showed enjoyment, "The best Scotch Chivas Whisky." ”
Drinking the wine from the glass, Murphy put down the glass and turned to look at James Franco, "Good wine indeed......"
He couldn't drink good wine at all, but James Franco came over and definitely didn't ask him for a drink.
James Franco poured another glass for Murphy, and when Murphy saw the smirkling face, he asked directly, "Is there anything wrong with me?" ”
"A little." James Franco paused, as if considering the wording, and after a moment, he said, "Murphy, I don't know why, Carey Mulligan has always been a little hostile to me. I have to shoot a lot of rivalry scenes with her, which affects my work. You get along well with her, I wonder how you did it. ”
He deliberately added, "If my relationship with her improves, the filming will be much smoother." ”
