Chapter 305: Self-directed and self-acted
A taxi pulled up near the gate of the warehouse on the outskirts of Venice, and Gal Gadot got out of the car and took out a suitcase from the trunk and pulled it into the warehouse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hi Gail."
As soon as she entered the warehouse, she was greeted by the officer on duty at the door, and Gal Gadot smiled and waved his hand over there, "Long time no see, John." ”
She walked in all the way and met a lot of people, whether they knew or didn't know each other, as long as someone greeted her, Gal Gadot would respond enthusiastically, and most of them showed a sincere smile, although she was not a member of the crew, her popularity was obviously very good.
"Gail, why are you back now?"
Met by Paul Wilson in the office area, Gal Gadot stopped and said, "There was something wrong with the club's plan, and there was not enough money, so I had to go back to Los Angeles early." ”
She pointed ahead, "Murphy in the office?" ”
"Hmm." Paul Wilson nodded, "You can go over." ”
Arriving at Murphy's office, Gal Gadot knocked lightly on the door, waited for the familiar sound of "please" to sound inside, and then pushed the door and walked in.
"Visual effects are a big part of the post-production process," he says.
In his office, Murphy was talking to the head of the digital field who was working on the project, "I have over 200 post-production VFX shots to ......"
Seeing Gal Gadot coming in, Murphy nodded to her, Gal Gadot had called before, and instead of going back to school, he came here directly.
Gal Gadot waved to a few people in the office and said with a smile, "You guys go ahead." ”
With that, she dragged her suitcase to the glass wall of the suite, opened the door and walked in, trying not to disturb Murphy and the others at work.
Closing the glass door, Gal Gadot put away her suitcase, took out the Nokia phone that Murphy had given her, flipped through some photos taken in San Francisco, and occasionally looked at Murphy through the characteristic glass.
The soundproofing here is very poor, and the sound from outside is clear and unmistakable, almost all of them are Murphy talking and everyone else is listening.
"We'll shoot on film all the time."
This is Murphy explaining something to Philip Raschel, "In a way, the mystery of the film is what I love so much, but at the same time, digital photography can also reduce the technical problems that the film will encounter in the development, maybe the number will not surprise you from time to time, but it is undeniable that it will reduce a lot of risks, it can allow you to sleep well, you don't have to wake up at 4 a.m. and call the processing room to ask if he needs to deal with some conditions today; But that doesn't mean your work will be less or easier, you still have to put the lights in the right place and make the right choices. ”
Putting down the phone, Gal Gadot held up his chin and looked at Murphy through the glass wall in a daze, the two have been dating for more than a year, and as time passed, the fiery passion not only did not subside, but accumulated more and more in her heart......
"Alright, that's all for today."
When the meeting outside dispersed and the others left, Murphy called out to Jonah Hill, who was also preparing to act as an assistant director because he thought it was funny, "Jonah, you wait a minute." ”
Seth Rogan patted Jonah Hill on the shoulder, "You're going to be reused by Murphy." ”
"I'm going to be exploited by him, a black-hearted capitalist!" Jonah Hill muttered deliberately.
He had just finished working on a comedy film and had nothing to do for the time being, plus Seth Rogen and James Franco were both here, so he simply joined the crew.
Unlike Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen went out of the office and immediately found Paul Wilson and an assistant producer and walked out the warehouse door ready to go on location together.
Outside the warehouse gate, it was no longer the quiet that Gal Gadot had been when he came, and suddenly a lot of paparazzi and entertainment reporters appeared, and Paul Wilson couldn't help frowning when he saw them.
"Why are these guys here?" He was quite confused.
The crew has always been very low-key, and because of the needs of publicity and marketing, they have always implemented the strictest confidentiality system, which has not attracted the attention of the media at all.
Those reporters were not targeting the crew, and when they saw Paul Wilson and Seth Rogan coming out, they just glanced at it and ignored it at all.
Seth Rogan shrugged, "We're being ignored. What are they waiting for? Waiting for Murphy and Gail? ”
It is clear that these journalists and paparazzi are waiting here specifically.
"It's not." Paul Wilson shook his head, and in the direction of him, a red Ford sedan drove slowly by, and from the front windshield, he could see that it was a very familiar star face driving the car, and he said, "They should be waiting for her." ”
The Ford stopped in the parking lot on the side of the warehouse, and a petite woman wearing light makeup and plain clothes pushed the door and walked down.
"Natalie Portman......" Seth Rogen, of course, recognized the woman, "it turned out to be Queen Padmé Amidala driving, no wonder these reporters and paparazzi are waiting here." ”
Paul Wilson retracted his gaze, uninterested in the apparently self-directed play, reminded, "Let's go, don't delay, we still have several locations to see." ”
Although most of the storyline of the film takes place in Missouri, Murphy is not ready to go to Missouri for on-location filming because he can't get tax rebates and other related preferential policies, and the crew will basically stay in Los Angeles to find a suitable location.
Seth Rogan took one last look over there, and Natalie Portman, who got out of the car, was already surrounded by reporters and paparazzi, but the reporters and paparazzi were in very good order.
"Miss Portman, Director Stanton's new film is in preparation here."
A reporter put the microphone in front of Natalie Portman and asked aloud, "Are you here with the intention of working with Director Stanton?" ”
"Murphy is a great director." Natalie Portman was full of praise, "It's an honor for every actor to work with him, the heroine of his new work is really amazing, I've never met such a brilliant role, I came here to discuss the possibility of working with him." ”
Another reporter asked, "Can you tell us about it?" ”
Natalie Portman shook her head, "I'm sorry, I can't do that until the crew officially reveals it." ”
A script is often widely circulated in Hollywood, and may pass through the hands of many people, and it seems that the specific content can be circulated at any time, but in fact it rarely happens, and there has long been an unwritten consensus within the circle, no one will take the initiative to reveal the content of the script they see, if you really do this, the consequences will be very serious, and you will be rejected by the entire circle.
As an actor, especially a well-known actor, you can see a lot of scripts, if the content of one is revealed to the public, what will the crew who want to cooperate with them think in the future? When you give a script to an actor's character, there will inevitably be doubts about whether they will leak secrets.
Natalie Portman is a smart guy and certainly wouldn't do anything to be a public enemy in the circle.
"What do you think of this collaboration?" The reporter asked a question as if the two sides had already cooperated.
"I'll do my best." Natalie Portman smiled, "I have a lot of respect for director Stanton, his style is so unique, I never dreamed of working with him. ”
Turning around, Natalie Portman walked towards the warehouse gate, and the reporters and paparazzi not only did not block it, but also gave way to both sides, like a farewell queen, watching Natalie Portman leave.
There was no one in front of her, the enthusiastic smile on her face disappeared in an instant, Natalie Portman hooked the corners of her mouth, using the media to build momentum, which was also a common means for her to get roles in the past, everyone said it was suitable, plus the next careful preparation, Amy's role is not ready to be captured?
She can handle even such big names as Luc Besson and George Lucas, let alone a young director like Murphy Stanton?
She also did some understanding before she came, and from the analysis of the news she got, it is not difficult to see that Murphy Stanton is not the dedicated boyfriend in the eyes of Gal Gadot's silly girl at all, and before dating Gal Gadot, she also dated a British girl, as if it was because of Jessica Chastain's intervention, which led to the breakup, and then it was revealed that Jessica Alba had an unclear relationship with him......
What is Hollywood circles like, Natalie Portman certainly knows that such rumors are 99% true.
"Are you...... You're Padmé Amidala ......" The officer on duty at the door was wearing a Star Wars shirt, and his eyes were straight when he saw Natalie Portman, "No, you're Miss Natalie Portman." ”
"I'm looking for Murphy." Natalie Portman put on a warm and affectionate smile.
The officer on duty immediately said, "Please go this way, Director Stanton is in the office." ”
The face was a complete pass, and with little effort, Natalie Portman found Murphy's office and gently knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Hearing this, she pushed the door open and walked in, where Murphy was sitting behind a simple desk, talking to a fat man with his back to her.
"Hi, Murphy." Natalie Portman beckoned over there, and Murphy didn't expect it to be her at all, but nodded anyway, "Hello, Nat." ”
Jonah Hill turned his head to look, also beckoned to Natalie Portman, turned around and deliberately squeezed his eyes at Murphy, and stood up, "That's all for today, I still have work to do, let's go first." ”
With that, he smiled at Natalie Portman again and walked briskly out of the office. (To be continued.) )
