"Your acting talent?" Murphy frowned, and Margaret put her head in front of her and turned her face to look at Murphy, as if she really wanted to know his answer, "yes, yes, how is my acting talent?" ”

"I'm sorry, Maggie." Murphy shook his head without hesitation, "I don't see such a thing as acting talent in you. ”

"What?" Margaret's voice immediately raised, "I don't have acting talent? How is this possible? ”

She didn't believe Murphy's words, "I haven't been exposed to acting before, and I only tried to shoot a few times today, and you shouted through!" ”

"Because I have very low requirements for you!" Murphy was telling the truth, "Maggie, you haven't been exposed to acting, and a lot of emotions can't be expressed in place, including the last time, I shouted through because the film is not strict about this role." ”

"Really?" Margaret was a little disappointed.

Murphy nodded very seriously, "You have a good psychological quality, you are not nervous, you are not stage frightened, I can give you ten points in this regard, but when it comes to acting talent, you only have sixty points at the normal level." ”

He may be blind, but the probability of such an estimate is still high.

Margaret returned to her seat, a little frustrated, "I also thought that if I couldn't become a female rider, it would be good to be an actress in the future." ”

"You can be an actor if you don't have good talent," Murphy casually comforted, "as long as you have a good opportunity, you can still succeed." ”

"Well, forget it," Margaret waved her hand, "I'd better wait until I'm older." ”

In the subsequent filming, Margaret officially became the actor of the girl Nancy, and David Robbie approached Bill Rosis and asked him to temporarily serve as Margaret's agent and signed a formal actor contract with the crew.

As Murphy said, Margaret's acting talent is average, and her performance in filming is not very good, but the role of the girl Nancy is limited, and the requirements are not too high, as long as she is not as nervous as Nikki Milton who can't help herself and cry, even if some emotions are not expressed properly, she can pass.

After filming the scene of the girl Nancy, James Franco, who played Dwight, also joined in, due to the appearance of Murphy, James Franco's actor path has changed greatly, the biggest change is that he did not play the little green goblin in "Spider-Man", but continued to crawl in independent films with Murphy and several friends.

The three most important male characters in the film are all different, as if they were made celibately, and James Franco's Dwight has the least monologue, which fits the character's grim label.

When shooting, each character design is also very distinctive, each person has a distinct feature that distinguishes them from others, and it has to be able to show the character's personality traits, such as Muffle's strange face, Dwight's red sports car, the cross scar on Hardy's forehead, and so on.

However, the most eye-catching figure is still the "yellow mongrel" of the second generation of officials in the city.

The character spent close to five hours on make-up before each shoot, and a lot of touch-ups were required during the shoot.

The identity of the yellow mongrel is extremely prominent. The bishop rules the city by controlling the church, his younger brother is a senator, and the family is powerful enough to want their only child, the yellow bastard, to become the president of the United States, in which case there is no justice left in the so-called state apparatus, and there is actually no essential difference between the police and the gangsters.

When the yellow mongrels rape one after another. When the little girl was killed, except for the soon-to-retire, an old policeman with heart disease, Hardy decided to eliminate the harm for the people, the other police officers sat idly by, and Hardy's assistant even shot him, and when Hardy was seriously injured and rescued the young Nancy, Locke, the predecessor of the yellow mongrel, relied on his power to sentence Hardy to rape. Kinky young. Female sin.

At the same time as the shooting, a special effects team of three special effects studios also entered the Disney studios to work on the shots that Murphy had already shot, one of the most important of which was color grading.

All of Murphy's shots were in color, and a lot of color processing was necessary to achieve the black and white style of the comics.

In his spare time during filming, Murphy also frequently communicates with the special effects team to review their processing effects in a timely manner.

As far as Sin City's production plan was concerned, the use of color was undoubtedly an element of great importance to Murphy in order to express its creative concept.

There will be differences in the color tone and style of the scenes in the movie, one is for the needs of the narrative, the other is for the needs of the visual style, and often the difference between them is very large.

The contrast between black and white that Murphy requires, coupled with the scheduling of the lenses and the angle of the light, many shots can be enjoyed separately as an independent picture of the comics, especially the use of black in the film must be rich in layers, showing the original face of "Sin City", and even reaching the image texture that cannot be obtained in color films.

Moreover, the advantages of the movie in action scenes and the ease of use of color are far superior to those of comics, which directly bring about a visually sharp effect.

"Most of the time the shots are black and white, only the blood that bursts out is red and tragic, which makes the blood of the characters particularly shocking."

In the special effects studio, Murphy told the special effects staff about the basic concept of color adjustment, "This black and white throughout...... No, there are actually reds, yellows, and greens that are rendered to the extreme. Whether it's the blood-red sky, the golden monster, or the green beauty eyes, in the solid color world of black, gray and white, they all look even more imposing! ”

In addition to being able to completely fit the two-color world of the original comics, the film also brings effects that cannot be seen in the comics - without losing the visual impact, moderately reducing the negative effects of violence and gore to the audience, and even making some bloody scenes seem quite humorous, and the film is more likely to pass the MPAA's R rating.

The overall shooting speed is not fast, Murphy has always firmly controlled the rhythm of the crew, because some of the shots that have completed the color grading almost reproduce the scenes of the comics, Frank Miller, who holds another directorial position, has not become a stumbling block to the shooting, although the crew is relatively large, but it can still be more united and work towards the same goal and direction.

January 2003 passed like this, Murphy gave the crew three days off, and David Robbie took him a few days off to take Margaret back to Australia after spending some time in Los Angeles.

Heading into February, filming continues to be busy, with more actors coming into the set, such as Purple Chang as Mei Hui and Rosario Dawson as Gail, as well as more actresses who will form Sin City's Red Light District.

The crew also began to shoot more action scenes, and Murphy not only used a lot of high-speed slow motion, but also appropriately shot some fast action shots, so that some action scenes formed a strong contrast between fast and slow.

However, there is not much to see in the shots, and these shots rely more on the processing of post-production special effects.

For a week, the third studio of Disney Studios was filled with women in sexy leather suits, guns or leather whips, which definitely made people drool uncontrollably, according to the setting of the comics, the clothes on these female characters could not be shorter, and the clothes could not be less.

As Murphy said before, he not only does not object to nudity that can arouse the audience's emotions, but also supports it very much.

In between filming, these actresses dressed sexily in front of the camera were also the focus of the crew's private discussions.

"I swear, Donnie, I was absolutely not mistaken!"

During the lunch break, several people gathered in Murphy's director's office, and Jonah Hill swore solemnly, "After the crew got off work the night before, you walked into Rosario's dressing room and stayed in it for at least twenty minutes!" ”

James Franco took the mineral water out of the cupboard, threw a bottle at Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Seth Rogen, and Jonah Hill, and said, "It can't be true, Donnie, your taste is too heavy!" ”

Robert Downey Jr. didn't deny it either, raising an eyebrow, "Jim, do I have your taste heavy?" ”

Hearing this, the three of Murphy laughed, and Jonah Hill gossiped about James Franco and Lily......

"You guys," Murphy unscrewed and took a sip of the mineral water, warning the guys who weren't doing it properly, "don't be nonsense during working hours." ”

"Don't worry, Murphy." Robert Downey Jr. exclaimed, "We are all strong supporters of you. ”

"That's it!" Jonah Hill coaxed, "Even if I want to come here, I'm off work." ”

He turned to look at Seth Rogan, "Don't you like Asians a lot?" How about that chapter. ”

Seth Rogan touched his nose, "It's okay. ”

"It's better not to beat her mind," warns Robert Downey Jr., "whose suitor is Ivy Nivo, a Jew who is very deeply involved in Hollywood." ”

James Franco also said, "We'd better not mess with the Jews, we can't afford to mess with them right now." ”

"I'm not confused," Seth Rogan said for herself, "I don't like the type of chapter, I like Asian girls with deep eye sockets and small ...... noses"

After a while, James Franco said, "Have you heard that the Miss Universe of all countries participating in the final finals of Miss Universe this year has arrived in Malibu to train and promote there, and we can go and see it when we have time." ”

Murphy remembered that party lobbying Frank Miller and asked, "When is the game going to take place?" ”

"You're interested, too?" James Frank thought for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be soon, just a few months away." ”

The five agreed that if they had time, they would go to watch the Miss Universe contest together.

As time went on, the filming of the crew reached the end, and Jessica Alba also entered the Disney studio. (To be continued.) )
