Ask for recommendation votes, brothers, give points to those who have tickets in their hands!
"You can rest assured." Murphy thought for a moment and said to James Franco, "There's no going to be a scene between you guys. ”
James Franco gritted his teeth and seemed to use a lot of strength to make up his mind, "I'll say hello to my agent." ”
Seeing that Murphy and James Franco's words came to an end, Seth Rogan squinted his eyes and asked tentatively, "Are you talking about making movies?" ”
Murphy nodded.
James Franco said with a wide tongue, "His first film just came off the North American stage, and a second is in the works." ”
"Oh......" Seth Rogen looks honest, but he is not stupid at all, thinking that he has been bumping into Hollywood for months like a fly without a head, but he can't even get a small role, he quickly said, "Director Stanton......"
"Murphy," Murphy reminded him, "call me Murphy." ”
Seth Rogen nodded, scratched the back of his head, and squeezed out a sentence, "I...... I'm also an actor. ”
This guy has a very old face, and if you just look at his appearance, he seems to be older than James Franco, but he is a fledgling who has just entered Hollywood, and his face has not been exercised at all.
"We had a bit of a bad time," Murphy said first at Seth Rogan and then at James Franco, "but like Jim, I think we're pretty close together." So, you come to my studio tomorrow and we'll talk about it. ”
"Do you have a pen?" He turned to James Franco, who took a pen out of his pocket and handed it over, and Murphy glanced at it, with a brand new label on it, and deliberately sarcastically said, "Where did you get it from?" ”
James Franco shrugged, neither admitting nor denying it.
He took a napkin and gave it to Seth Rogan, where Murphy wrote down his contact details and the full address where the studio was located.
After dinner, the three of them chatted for a while, and did not disperse until the early hours of the morning.
Early the next morning, as soon as Murphy had finished breakfast, Seth Rogan came looking for him.
"Paul, this is Seth Rogan, an actor from Canada."
In the living room of the studio, Murphy introduced the two of them, "Seth, this is Paul Wilson, my assistant director. ”
After the two said hello, he led Seth Rogan into a room on the left, which was converted into an audition room, Murphy has always been cautious in doing things, and he would definitely not be casually pulled into his crew just because he called Seth Rogen, who knows what state these guys were in when they were not famous.
He randomly found a scene script and asked Seth Rogen to improvise, which was also a first interview.
Unlike James Franco, who has worked with him, Murphy doesn't know much about Seth Rogan, so naturally he won't give an important role casually.
However, this guy's performance is good, and it is not boasting that he can win the second place in any acting competition, and after a more than two-minute impromptu performance, Murphy has a preliminary recognition of him.
The two chatted a few more words, and Murphy realized that this guy was even younger than himself, and if he looked at his appearance alone, how could he be in his thirties.
"The project has not yet begun to be prepared in earnest."
Out of the audition room, Murphy said to Seth Rogan, who was following him, as he walked, "If filming starts in late April or early May, you can arrange the schedule." ”
"No arrangement." Seth Rogen's eyes narrowed, "I don't have anything else to do. Murphy, I'll just wait for your video. ”
He's not stupid, after going back last night, he went to the Internet to check, James Franco needless to say, is already a well-known actor, the name Murphy Stanton can also be found on IMDB, and the last work "Hard Candy" also won nearly $1.5 million at the box office in North America at a cost of $300,000......
Compared with the TV drama crews who went some time ago and the dispensable small roles that they applied for, this opportunity to appear in the movie is too rare.
And last night's one, it seems that there are some benefits, the three of them chatted very speculatively, I believe that as long as they are not bad, the possibility of getting the role is very large.
With so much to do at work, Murphy let Seth Rogan walk around on his own while he started his busy day.
Interview the finance staff who came to apply for the job, contact James Franco's agent, communicate with Bill Rothes about the required behind-the-scenes work, and further revise the script......
It was busy until noon that he walked out of the study.
Coming downstairs, Murphy found that Seth Rogan was not leaving, but was helping Paul Wilson move things, and couldn't help but think of what this guy said, it seems that it is not bad to get a free labor for the time being?
The takeaway for lunch, the receptionist, the cleaner, and the telephone operator were double, and she didn't go to Murphy's side, sitting on the chair that might fall apart at any moment, quietly enjoying the doughnuts and fried chicken legs.
The three of Murphy gathered around a table.
"You're welcome, Seth." Murphy shoved a bento into the fat man's hand, "The studio is just getting started, lunch is a little simple, don't mind." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Seth Rogan sat back in his chair, waved his hand and said, "It's much richer than a Canadian working meal." ”
Paul Wilson picked up a Coke glass and took a big sip, "Most Hollywood crews don't have as much lunch as we do." ”
All three laughed.
"Murphy, Seth is amazing." Paul Wilson added, "He wrote a script for a Canadian TV show and was adopted. ”
Seth Rogan scratched the back of his head and said modestly, "It's just a small show on local TV in Vancouver." ”
"I didn't expect you to be so versatile." Murphy didn't seem to hear him, and suddenly asked, "Seth, are you interested in the behind-the-scenes work of the crew?" ”
"Actually......" Seth Rogen smiled sheepishly, "in addition to being a screenwriter, I also want to be a producer and director." ”
He sighed, "These are the ideas in Vancouver, and when I came to Los Angeles, I realized that it was not easy to enter Hollywood, and I couldn't even play the best acting." ”
"I can give you a chance." "If you're interested, you can come to my side and do some behind-the-scenes work for the time being." ”
"Really?" Seth Rogan looked pleasantly surprised, "Can I?" ”
"Of course." Murphy nodded solemnly, "You can come over at any time." ”
He looked at Paul Wilson, "You can be Paul's assistant for a while." ”
"Good! Good! Seth Rogan's chubby face was already smiling, "I'm worried that I have nothing to do." Thank you, Murphy. ”
If he can audition, in addition to the cast list, he can give another title such as assistant director or assistant producer, which doesn't cost money anyway, but can earn a free labor.
Although Paul Wilson is contacting classmates to come over for internships, the more free labor the better.
