Next chapter

The dilapidated highway is full of cracks, the road is overgrown with grass on both sides, and a rusty sign stands in the middle of the grass at a military base two miles away!

The sign is located on the south side of the road, opposite to the north, is a row of garbage cans, the garbage cans seem to have been uncleaned for a long time, not only is it full of garbage, but also the outside is not visible, showing a somewhat disgusting gray-black, lying quietly on the side of the road by the grass.

This is a largely abandoned road, and in the past, not to mention vehicles, not even a single figure could be seen.

But today there was a lot of buzz here, five or six large trailer trucks and more than a dozen commercial vehicles parked on the nearby barren grass, dozens of people were busy around, some were setting up cameras, some were checking the light, some were setting up the site, and some were doing the final inspection of a few green military vehicles.

Murphy stood in the shadows behind a trailer, listening to the information gathered by the various departments, and glanced at Jessica Chastain standing next to him.

"Relax," he could tell Jessica Chastain, who was wearing heavy makeup, was a little nervous, "just like when you put on a stage play." ”

Jessica Chastain nodded and smiled.

Paul Wilson walked over, "The departments are ready. ”

"yes, I see." Murphy picked up a bottle of water from the high chair next to him, unscrewed it and took a big sip, turned around and walked behind a camera, picked up the megaphone, and shouted, "Shoot in five minutes!" ”

The crew entered the final preparations before the start of filming.

Jessica Chastain walked to the trash can, and under the command of Paul Wilson, got familiar with the move again, several military vehicles also drove nearby, and an actor from CAA, wearing a colonel uniform, stood on top of the front one.

In this crew, except for Robert Downey Jr. in the past and James Franco, who is gradually making a name, there are no relatively well-known actors, let alone looking for actors with a salary of more than 10 million dollars to press the lineup.

There is also the film worn, deliberately blurred and worn, which also requires money.

Murphy also gave up on this approach, a film must adapt to the development of society, deliberate blurring can indeed inspire nostalgia for a small number of people, but it will drive more audiences out of the theater, how many people enter the theater to watch a blurry and noisy film?

He didn't know exactly how much the film had grossed at the box office, but he vaguely remembered that the videotape sales were far better than the box office.

I have to say that the treatment of the picture effect in this film is very inconsistent with the needs of the cinema screening market, and is more suitable for home video audiences.

So, Murphy let Filly Raschel use a slightly dusk style of photography, but rejected the deliberately old-fashioned.

In the final analysis, he is not Robert Rodriguez after all, and he has no special feelings for the type of film "G-Day Ndhou", if it is shot in the style of Robert Rodriguez, and some well-known actors are invited, the $8 million is definitely not enough.

He remembered that "Planet of Terror" was originally released bundled with Quentin Tarantino's "Evidence of Death", and the cost and box office were calculated according to the sum of the two, but the result did not appear 1+1amp; gt; 2, not even 1+1=2 has been achieved.

There is no doubt that Quentin Tarantino's fame and achievements are far greater than Robert Rodriguez's, but on this film, which is collectively called "The Torture Room", Quentin Tarantino has dragged his feet, and "Death Proof" has been criticized and has become one of Quentin's few failed works.

This is the end of the collaboration between the two geniuses.

Of course, "Horror Planet" is not without criticism, especially when it is released in theaters, some things must be restrained, especially those that are too disgusting.

Just like "Saw Horror", gore and disgusting are not equated, the former can resonate with a considerable number of viewers, and the latter will make most people sick to their stomachs.

Now that 911 has only passed, this film must conform to the current social environment to be released on a large scale in theaters, and Murphy appropriately lowered the scale of the film, especially giving up some disgusting content about the lower body organs of the human body, and instead adding weight to absurdity and black humor.

In his conception, this is an absurd noir movie in which a beautiful woman and a handsome guy go into battle together to kill zombies.

With the crew's departments ready, Jessica Chastain and the rest of the cast in place, Murphy nodded to the camera, which placed the sign in front of the camera.

"'Planet Terror', Outside Scenes, Scene One, Act One, Start Now!"

The two cameras were shot at a 45-degree angle, with Murphy and DP Filie Raschel each operating one camera, and no lighting was used due to the good lighting conditions on set.

Jessica Chastain wrapped in a coat and walked slowly along the north side of the road, she stared at four-foot high-heeled leather boots on her feet, and she was wearing a short low-cut tight-body shirt similar to her hair color, which greatly highlighted the capital on her chest, and also exposed a snow-white waist, under the thin waist, was a short leather skirt that could not be shorter, and as her legs moved, you could vaguely see the scenery in it.

Such a small-budget production, sexy and hot heroine is one of the main selling points, in the North American film market, although zombie films are a small category, there are also many related films, why should the audience buy this film?

Zombies are much the same, so you have to figure out how to kill them and who kills them.

A sexy and hot stripper killing zombies is of course different from a strong man, and it is more interesting.

Murphy's camera lens is mainly aimed at Jessica Chastain, and Filipe Raschel uses a panoramic shot to include Jessica Chastain and the road next to her.

Several military vehicles from far and near, suddenly broke into the camera, without any slowdown, whizzing past Jessica Chastain, Jessica Chastain seemed to be taken by the vehicle, her body was crooked, and she fell right on the trash can on the side of the road, the trash can was immediately overturned, and some debris buried her underneath.

A recording assistant appropriately sent the recording microphone down with a lever.

Jessica Chastain, who was lying on the ground, let out a burst of curses, and when Murphy heard it, he frowned and shouted to stop, "Cut! ”

The busy crew immediately stopped, and everyone looked to Murphy, since the director shouted to stop, it means that someone must have made a mistake.

"Jesse!" Murphy sat behind the camera and shouted to Jessica Chastain in the trash, "You're a nightclub stripper now, not a Juilliard student, do you know how strippers can curse?" Not as soft-voiced as you! ”

He gave a rough request, "Be vulgar!" ”

After saying that, Murphy shouted, "Rearrange the set and do it again in ten minutes!" ”

Throwing away the rotten vegetable leaves hanging on her body, Jessica Chastain got up from the ground, rubbed her sore knee just now, and hurried towards the makeup trailer, she had to touch up her makeup due to time constraints.

As she walked, she turned her head to look at Murphy, who was sitting behind the camera giving orders, the former penniless gangster director has become the controller of the crew with an investment of nearly 10 million US dollars, and he commands the crew in a skillful and orderly manner, and the youth of the past has almost completely disappeared.

The rate at which he has grown is phenomenal and he seems to have been born to adapt to the industry.

Back in the makeup trailer, Jessica Chastain changed into the same costume again at the request of the costume artist, but the costume seemed to be smaller, and it felt like the furrow on her chest was deeper, and more skin was exposed under the leather skirt.

Thinking of the setting of this role now, looking at her extremely gaudy outfit in the mirror, Jessica Chastain always feels a little sad in her heart, is this the film career she is pursuing?

No one paid attention to her, let alone communicated with her heart, and everyone here was like every part of the assembly line, turning closely and busily to complete their own part of the work.

Filming soon resumed, and after another repetition, the first shot of Planet Terror was declared complete.

The crew cleaned up the set as quickly as possible, and before the sun turned to the south, they rushed to the bridge not far ahead, on the river bank opposite the bridge, Helena Espora's team had already built a wooden barbecue restaurant, the barbecue restaurant was mainly set and models, of course, it was impossible to enter it to shoot, Murphy just directed people to shoot some panoramic shots, and the scenes in the barbecue restaurant had to wait until they returned to the warehouse in Venice to shoot.

Helena Espora took the finishing touches, Robert Downey Jr. and Carey Mulligan, who arrived early in the morning, got into the makeup trailer to start putting on makeup, and an old truck was driven by the props crew to the wasteland next to the barbecue restaurant.

When the venue was almost set up, Murphy deliberately went to the women's makeup trailer, Carey Mulligan had finished putting on her makeup and was sitting in front of the mirror in a daze, Jack Watson's female assistant was very eye-catching, and when she saw Murphy coming in, she whispered a word and walked out of the makeup trailer.

Carey Mulligan sat still, but her eyes were looking at Murphy in the mirror.

"Hey," Murphy said as he walked up behind her, "what do you think?" ”

Kerry Mulligan just looked at him in the mirror, as he did all this time, and didn't say anything.

Murphy frowned, "Dear ......"

"I don't want to talk to you!" Carey Mulligan finally turned his head, his baby's face gloomy, "I don't want to hear you either!" I've seen it all this time, and you, like Julian Fellowos, and my parents, say you think about me, but you don't think about my feelings at all! ”

There was a banging on the door, and someone outside reminded, "Director, the preparations are ready, it's time to start shooting." (To be continued.) )
