β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm currently performing at a community theater,"

Jessica Chastain was also observing the situation on the other side, and seeing that Murphy looked unmoved, she added, "I also serve as the director of this community theater, and I have to handle a lot of work such as ticketing and arranging venues. ”

Murphy nodded, from her previous self-introduction, it can be seen that this top student of Juilliard has encountered a lot of trouble entering society, and the Hollywood road she wants to embark on is very uneven like most people.

Looking down at his notebook, Murphy looked at her and asked, "Why should I hire you?" ”

Hearing this, Jessica Chastain thought about it for a moment and said, "I have some expertise, I have worked in theater at Lincoln Center and Off-Broadway in New York, and when I came to Hollywood, I also worked as a temporary assistant on a production crew, and I believe I can do the job......"

She hesitated, but said, "I need this job, a job that has close ties to Hollywood and the film industry." ”

Murphy turned the pen in his hand and asked, "You haven't graduated yet?" ”

"Yes." Jessica Chastain simply admitted, "I'm doing an internship. ”

"Well......" Murphy groaned, and after a long moment, he said, "I can hire you." ”

Jessica Chastain on the other side was visibly relieved.

But Murphy then said, "But since you haven't graduated yet, I can only use you as an intern." ”

This is what it means that there is no salary, Jessica Chastain understood, and immediately shook her head, "Sorry, I can't do it, I need money now." ”

Murphy's words just now were more of a temptation, if the other party agreed, there would be a free labor available; If she doesn't agree, it can also lower her psychological expectations in terms of salary.

"I'm giving you a chance to explore your career options and get to know my company." Murphy gave her hope again, "I'll look at your watch later, and give you the opportunity to work full-time." ”

He deliberately emphasized, "My company and I are going to shoot a film soon, and it is expected to start shooting in a month and a half to two months. ”

Does this really seem like a good opportunity? Jessica Chastain was somewhat moved when she heard that a movie was about to be filmed, biting her lip, but swallowing the words she wanted to promise back into her stomach.

Murphy observed these reactions, and the girl clearly lacked sufficient social experience, but was not a fool either.

The previous words worked somewhat, Jessica Chastain hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I need a salary, I just moved out of my home and need money." ”

She looked at Murphy and looked like she wanted the job so badly.

Murphy was well aware that the fact that he was talking about a movie about to shoot had already made the girl interested enough in the job.

"Well, given your actual situation...... Murphy made a very embarrassed expression, "I can give you $300 a week." ”

This salary is not much compared to her academic qualifications, but it is always an opportunity, Jessica Chastain thought about it for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, when can I start working?" ”

Murphy thought for a moment, "It's Friday, and I'll get in touch with you from next Monday." ”

Jessica Chastain stood up and held out her right hand to Murphy, "Thank you, thank you for giving me this opportunity." ”

Shaking her hand, Murphy said confidently, "You won't regret your choice." ”

With a polite smile in return, Jessica Chastain said goodbye and left the coffee shop.

Thankfully, Murphy is no longer alone, and Studio Stanton has its first temporary employee, Jessica Chastain.

On Monday morning, Murphy received a call from Jessica Chastain and ran to the three-way intersection to take her into the Latino community.

Two ruffian young men walked in front of him, the tattoos exposed were a little scary, and then looked at the dilapidated buildings around him, Jessica Chastain suddenly regretted his previous choice, looking at the back of Murphy who was walking in front, and very suspected that he had met a bad liar.

What kind of film studio, exactly, would work in a slum?

She put one hand into her pocket, pretending to look at the time, took out her mobile phone and quietly pressed the three numbers "911", and when she put it back, her left thumb was always pressed on the dial button, as long as the situation was not right, she would immediately call the police.

To be able to follow Murphy here, the documents I saw yesterday played an important role, and if it weren't for those real company documents, she wouldn't have followed a man to a place like this.

Turning around in this Latino neighborhood and finally coming to a dilapidated gray building, Jessica Chastain unconsciously raised her guard when she saw Murphy turn into the stairwell, and grabbed her leather bag with the powerful anti-wolf spray in her other hand.

"The company is just getting started, and all the money is invested in the film project."

While walking up the stairs, Murphy said some basic information to the red-haired girl behind him, a person like him can naturally see the other party's vigilance, this is also a normal situation, if Jessica Chastain is a stupid stupid fool, he doesn't dare to use it, "I can only work here for the time being, but I'm looking for a suitable house." ”

The right house was, of course, the location of the film, but Murphy didn't say that.

Jessica Chastain nodded, but did not let her guard down, and after coming to the third floor, she followed Murphy to the door, and after Murphy opened the door, she did not mean to go inside, but observed for a while.

This is the wariness of normal people, and Murphy does not care, and opens the door to the maximum to dispel the other party's doubts.

After looking at it for a while, Jessica Chastain didn't find anything wrong, this house is not big, you can see the inside at a glance through the door, facing her is the living room and bedroom, the furnishings are very simple, beds, sofas, TVs, etc., it looks relatively old, but all the qiΔ“ are neatly tied, showing that the owner is a person who likes to clean the environment.

There is also a door open next to the living room, and from this view, you can see that there is not much space inside, just let go of a desk and a shelf, the desk is near the window with a laptop and a printer, and the shelves are only video cameras and telephoto cameras.

After observing for a while, Jessica Chastain finally took the step and stepped into the Stanton studio.

When his first employee walked into the studio, Murphy pointed to where the kettle was, "The water is over there, and there's a burger joint fifty feet away from the downstairs and left, it's cheap and affordable." ”

He sat down on the side of his desk near the window and gestured to the chair opposite, "You're working here for the time being." ”

Jessica Chastain didn't say anything, but sighed in her heart that it was really shabby, worse than her worst imagination.

Murphy took a stack of Wen JiΓ n from the folder on the left, "I'll tell you about your work today." ”

He started by pushing a list of them, "These are some of the people who are interested in joining our film project, and they have their contact information on it, and you can contact them and decide on a time and place for an interview, preferably at the Middleton coffee shop." ”

After speaking, he pushed over another text, "This is the camera equipment I need, haven't you been in a few crews?" It should be no stranger, determine where there are renters, look at a few more, and I want the lowest price. ”

Immediately afterward, Murphy handed Jessica Chastain a stack of folded printed posters, "Here are some job postings, you go to the USC Film School and the California Institute of the Arts in the afternoon and post them near the two colleges." ”

Among the people who contacted Murphy, there were also a few professional students who had entered the internship period, and seeing that their posters were effective, Murphy specially made a batch of them.

Finally, Murphy threw the script that had just been registered last week to Jessica Chastain, "This is the script for the project we are going to shoot for the production zuΓ², this is the first draft, you can familiarize yourself with it first, and I also need you to help me with the schedule and shooting plan." ”

Seeing this script, Jessica Chastain's hanging heart finally relaxed, the person opposite is really not a liar, it looks like someone who is going to make a career.

"Can I read the script first?" She asked tentatively.

Murphy had already taken the drawing board, prepared to draw the storyboard, and waved her hand to let her feel free.

Jessica Chastain opened the script and read it carefully, she is a top student in the Juilliard School Drama Department, and she has a certain amount of research on the script, so she first browsed it as quickly as possible to determine that it was a very neatly structured script.

The first page of the script is the opening scene, which is somewhat bloody and brutal, but it is a good way to attract the audience, although the text is different from the picture, and the meaning expressed is somewhat obscure, Jessica Chastain can still imagine that this is a scene of a perverted adult man abusing and killing an underage girl.

She looked at Murphy on the other side, and the other party was drawing something very seriously, which seemed to be a storyboard artwork.

"This kind of script ......"

Jessica Chastain shook her head and continued to look down, and the script was clearly on the fifth page.

With the addition of the following pages, pages 1 to 10 are standard foreshadowing.

A standardized Hollywood script should express its own tone, mood, type and subject matter at the beginning, and the opening is also a good opportunity to show the www.biquge.info of the protagonist's pen, if the screenwriter shows a "beforehand" impression, then there will be a "post-facto" overview to show how things developed......

The script in her hand clearly has that.

Also, the opening of the script must have a corresponding beat: the finale.

A good script must evolve and change, and these two scenes are the way to clarify how the film develops and changes.
