Starting tomorrow, there will be three updates a day, with 2,000 words per chapter, and the times will be 9 o'clock, 15 o'clock and 21 o'clock respectively. Continue to ask for referral votes.

If you don't actually do anything, you won't find out how hard it is.

The lights were rearranged, the actors were familiar with the movement again, the crew was ready, Murphy, the director and cinematographer, began the test shoot, and as last time, when Carey Mulligan turned his head, he called a halt again.

Everyone in the crew looked at Murphy and didn't know what he was going to do, and someone like Carey Mulligan, who was exposed, was already scratching his ears and cheeks.

She had been brewing for a long time, but she only made one action, and she was called to stop, and she was inevitably depressed.

James Franco simply found a chair and sat down, he kind of understood that this was a complete collection of unreliable directors and another group of unreliable people.

Fortunately, his purpose is not to play roles and movies, otherwise working with such a group of novices would have to go crazy.

He looked at Murphy's eyes, and couldn't help but have a little contempt, this so-called director said that it was beautiful, but in fact it was full of problems.

That's fine, lest Kerry Mulligan adore him so much.

Jessica Chastain, who came from a serious academy team, is more professional than James Franco, who has a weird personality, and after Murphy shouted to stop again, she immediately came over to pick up the camera and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Murphy didn't think about it either, and blurted out the words, "Carey's eyes are not bright enough, not bright enough, and it will weaken the charm of the heroine's image." ”

"What?" Carey Mulligan apparently heard Murphy's words, pointed to his eyes, and just wanted to distinguish a few words, but was interrupted by Murphy raising his hand, "Carey, it has nothing to do with you, it's still a matter of lighting." ”

The camera lens is different from the human eye, and no matter how bright and bright the eyes seem to ordinary people, the lens will be much darker.

"Eye light!" Murphy patted himself on the head angrily, "Why did I forget the light in my eyes." ”

He sighed, it was all a trouble from lack of experience.

This is the first frontal shot of the heroine Haley, if the eyes are dull, the charm of the whole person will be greatly reduced, and the light of the eyes is a must.

In a film of this genre like Hard Candy, the shining eyes of the actress can impress the audience.

Douglas, the gaffer, did as Murphy instructed, adding a Fresnel mirror spotlight to the bottom of the main light, specifically to create eye light for Kerry Mulligan.

After being busy for a long time, he finally achieved the desired light and shadow effect, Murphy had a headache, but also breathed a sigh of relief, there are not many scenes to shoot in the café, relatively speaking, it is relatively simple, the biggest thing is the shooting and lighting problems.

After adjusting the lighting, Murphy deliberately asked Carey Mulligan to face him, and first took a casual close-up, in which Carey Mulligan's eyes were bright and innocent, and seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

Such an innocent-looking, beautiful and cute girl can hook the heart of the criminal and fascinate him, right?

Getting the lighting right doesn't mean the crew can run smoothly.

This crew is full of novices, and there is no previous experience in working together, and the run-in is inevitable, especially Carey Mulligan, like all rookie actors, it is impossible to adapt to film shooting immediately.

After restarting the test shoot, Murphy's moment of photographing her background and turning around was quite smooth, but when James Franco pushed the door and walked into the café and came over to say hello, the expression on her face and the tone of her voice changed.

As before, her affection was so revealing that even Lynch, the owner of the coffee shop, could tell that she hated people who came up to greet her.

It can't be filmed like this, and Hailey, played by Carey Mulligan, should show her cute side in the open air at this time to seduce Jeff.

"Stop!" Murphy directly called out to stop the entire crew, "Rest for half an hour." ”

He needed to catch his breath after being busy with lighting issues for so long, drank a cold cup of coffee, and called Carey Mulligan out of the café alone.

"Sorry, Murphy......"

Standing at the door of the café, Kerry Mulligan looked like a good baby who had made a mistake, "It's all my fault, I'm not good enough." ”

For people like Carey Mulligan, blaming can only backfire, and Murphy instead asks, "Is James so nasty?" ”

During the previous rehearsals, Carey Mulligan had been able to restrain his affection for James Franco, and he hadn't seen anything special in the morning, so why did it suddenly become like this again?

"Eat at noon...... "Kerry Mulligan drooped his head, "he said a lot of nasty things. ”

She then looked up, "Murphy, I really don't like him. When we were rehearsing, he was always trying to please me, obviously with intentions. ”

"Oh?" Murphy looked at her, Carey Mulligan was naïve and rebellious, but not stupid.

"I think...... I think James Franco is like a ......" She looked up at Murphy, saw Murphy give an encouraging smile, no longer scruples, and said directly, "I think he's like the Jeff in the script." ”

"That's right......" Murphy didn't look surprised, but held his chin and thought about it, Carey Mulligan looked at him blankly, his bright eyes flickered, as if he was waiting for Murphy to replace that nasty guy for her, but after a while, Murphy said, "James is indeed very much like Jeff in the script." ”

"What?" Kerry Mulligan's eyes widened, "Is this true?" ”

She's just inexperienced, she's not stupid, and she seems a little panicked.

"Calm down, Kerry." Since Murphy said this, he naturally had a corresponding solution, reminding, "You forgot, Hayley in the script is facing Jeff......"

"And I'm facing James Franco......" Under Murphy's reassuring gaze, Carey Mulligan gradually calmed down, and there was a thoughtful look in his bright eyes, "A more timid guy than Jeff." ”

Murphy looked at her with encouragement in his eyes, "It's going to be fun for us to deal with James Franco." ”

"That's right!" Carey Mulligan almost screamed, quickly covered his mouth, and through the transparent glass door, he cautiously looked at James Franco inside, and then lowered his voice and said, "I can use Hayley's method to deal with him!" ”

"Just teach him a little lesson." A few drops of sweat appeared on Murphy's forehead.

However, he didn't stop Carey Mulligan, this was deliberately provoked by him, and this is not a movie, I believe that the girl opposite will not do too much, at most embarrassing Rotlan Lanlan.

The benefits are obvious, when facing James Franco and his role as Jeff, Carey Mulligan only needs to perform in his true colors, which will undoubtedly reduce the difficulty of acting.

Back at the café, Carey Mulligan's appearance in the shooting was completely different, and in the face of James Franco's Jeff, she fully showed a girl's innocent, cute, childish and a little sexy side, and even caused James Franco to be stunned during the test shooting......

Looking at Carey Mulligan, who was wearing a red sweatshirt and looked like Little Red Riding Hood, with that innocent and cute appearance and demeanor, James Franco almost couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart for a moment, but fortunately, he was an adult and had played similar games a few times before, although he had never encountered such a fascinating type, he could also control himself.

“Cut！” James Franco was still stunned, but Murphy shouted to stop and cocked his thumbs to the two actors, "This is over." Jim, Carrey, you're doing a great job! ”

It was supposed to be a test shot, but it turned out to be more than Murphy expected, especially when James Franco was stunned by Carey Mulligan, and the extremely expressive expression showed his inner urgency hidden under the urbane exterior.

With James Franco's current acting skills, it is estimated that it will be difficult to come up with the same performance.

"This is the true nature of the show!" Murphy muttered to himself, "If these two people can perform in their true colors, the effect will definitely be the best." ”

Just like Robert Downey Jr. to Iron Man, when the cast is at its best, the characters are often very similar to themselves in reality.

The occasional smooth lì can't hide the various problems in the crew of "Hard Candy", and the subsequent filming has entered a cycle of making mistakes, making mistakes, and making mistakes again, Murphy's own lack of experience is the main reason, and the ability of other personnel is generally another side.

After three days, the café was not filmed in just a few minutes, and even one guò was only available a day, and Murphy could see it thoroughly, the reason why the people he recruited were cheap was directly proportional to their ability.

Fortunately, he chose a relatively simple movie like "Hard Candy", otherwise he, a novice director and a group of crew members with mediocre ability, would definitely kill himself if he went to shoot a film with a larger investment.

These three days also made Murphy fully realize that watching movies, analyzing movies, and studying professionally at film school is one thing, and making movies is another, not to mention the difference between the two sides, the distance between Los Angeles and New York is at least as far as Los Angeles and New York.

Despite all the difficulties, Murphy didn't want to give up, and now he can't give up, he has invested more than 100,000 dollars, and giving up means that all the investments are useless.

Murphy is sure to persevere, but it is inevitable that he will be depressed, and there is another person who is just as depressed as Murphy, and that is Lynch, the owner of Miton's Cafe.

When the crew signed the contract with the crew, Lynch Sr. thought that such a scene could be filmed in two days at most, and he didn't notice that the contract prepared by Murphy had no time limit at all, and he couldn't help but regret it after filming in the next few days.

Not only is his café unable to operate, but he also has to provide free meals for the crew, which is all money......

Fortunately, there were really not many scenes in the café, and before Lynch Sr. endured reaching the bottom line, Murphy finally ended the single-digit shot here and led the team into the San Fernando Valley.
