Under the strong insistence of Rotten Lanlan, after five days of negotiations, the crew of "Hard Fruit Candy" finally had a leading actor, and Murphy paid a one-time payment of $40,000 for this, although the current James Franco cannot be compared with the future, but he has also played the main role in two film and television dramas, which is not his real worth.

Murphy knows very well that James Franco's purpose in joining the crew is not pure, but he doesn't care, everyone just takes what they need.

At this point, the filming crew of "Hard Fruit Candy" has been officially formed, including Murphy, there are only fourteen people in total, and three of them are unpaid interns, which can be said to be extremely economical.

In fact, Murphy also wants to do all the work by himself and save all the salaries offered, but this is obviously impossible, he is just a person, although he has studied systematically in film school, it is impossible to be proficient in all the behind-the-scenes work of films.

There are two main actors in the film, namely the little girl Hayley and the photographer Jeff, in addition to the most scenes are one of Jeff's female neighbors, who has been forced by Murphy to give Jessica Chastain a cameo.

There is also a girl who died tragically in the opening scene, and Murphy also finalized the candidate, but the other party has very few scenes, and he will not enter the crew until the filming starts.

The other passerby roles are basically made cameos by Murphy and the crew, and the waiters who will inevitably appear during filming at the Miton Cafe are played by the people from the Miton Cafe, and the elder Lynch has specially prepared for this for a while.

Even if this is in Los Angeles, for ordinary people, the opportunity to appear in a film is still rare.

"Let me introduce you."

In the warehouse that served as a makeshift studio, Murphy, Carey Mulligan and James Franco got together for the first time, and he, the director, offered to introduce, "Carrey, this is James Franco, a great actor. ”

Then he turned to the introduction, "Jim, this is Carey Mulligan, the future Rose of England." ”

After Murphy finished speaking, he took the initiative to take a step back.

"Hello, can I call you Kerry?" James Franco put on a charming smile, took the initiative to step forward, and held out a hand, "I'm James Franco, you can call me Jim." ”

As if to see his face clearly, Carey Mulligan said with a little surprise, "How are you?" ”

"We meet again." James Franco's hand was still there.

Carey Mulligan didn't mean to shake his hand, turned his head directly, and said to Murphy, "Murphy, he's not a good guy. ”

James Franco's smile stiffened, and he withdrew his hand in a smug manner, his face somewhat embarrassed.

Murphy couldn't figure out what had happened between these two people at all, so he hurriedly played a round, "Kerry, what happened?" Jim is a very good actor. ”

"Humph......" Carey Mulligan just snorted twice through his nose.

Few girls at this age would like the kind of person who exposes themselves.

Looking at James Franco, Murphy didn't want to care about what the hell was going on with these two guys, and Carey Mulligan's agent was coming over in a moment, and he didn't have time to waste with these two guys.

Murphy walked over to the improvised desk, pulled out two schedules, handed them to James Franco and Carey Mulligan, and said, "I ask you to go through all the scenes in the schedule before shooting." ”

Before every movie is filmed, the actors have to go through a lot of rehearsals, and Hard Candy is no exception.

There was a knock on the door, and after Murphy called out to please come in, the agent named Bill Rothes pushed open the door, still carrying the packed juice and coffee in his hand, and walked over to greet Murphy first and deliver coffee, and then also politely exchanged a few words with James Franco and handed him a cup of coffee.

I have to say that if you want to become a qualified entertainment agent, it is a necessary skill to be able to handle interpersonal relationships and be exquisite.

Murphy is a first-time director, and now James Franco is not inconspicuous, and even the rehearsal site is just a warehouse, but Bill Rothes does not show any disdain, at least on the surface.

In Hollywood, celebrities can be arrogant and undesirable, but agents are not suitable.

Since Carey Mulligan is underage, agents or surrogate guardians are generally present at the work site, Murphy has no problem with this, and James Franco is not stupid, although Murphy strictly suspects that he has other purposes, but he has been polite since he saw Kerry Mulligan, even if it is an occasional set of words, it is a normal way to chat.

"Stanton Director ......"

After a few people finished drinking, Bill Rothes said at the right time to remind Murphy, "Carey still has class in the afternoon, and he must finish work at twelve o'clock." ”

Murphy nodded and gestured to James Franco, "Let's get started." ”

At the beginning of the rehearsal, James Franco read a monologue first, as if to warm up and find his form in this way, he has a lot of experience, not the kind of part-time waiter actor, Murphy is not too worried, after a brief look, his eyes fell on Carey Mulligan.

In the first audition, and in the subsequent communication, the girl showed some acting skills, she has been performing in the troupe since she was a primary school in the UK, and what she lacks is a real acting opportunity.

In Murphy's eyes, this girl's acting talent is not top-notch, but it is not bad.

Of course, he is only a novice and may not be able to see it accurately.

A few minutes later, Carey Mulligan and James Franco began rehearsals for the first scene, a scene where the two had just met.

James Franco walks to Carey Mulligan from behind, "Hayley ......"

Carey Mulligan turned his head and wiped his lips lightly as the script had written, "Jeff? ”

There was a little surprise in her voice, but it was not like that on her face, Carey Mulligan just said that she didn't like James Franco very much, like hers, love is almost written on her face, even if she doesn't use a camera close-up, Murphy can see the disgust in those bright eyes, and even almost write the words "I'm going to kill you villain" on his face.

"Carrey......" Murphy interrupted the rehearsal and beckoned, "Come here." ”

Scratching his short blonde hair, Carey Mulligan walked across from the desk where Murphy was sitting and asked, "Am I doing something wrong?" ”

She could read a lot of things through Guò Murphy's expression.

Murphy immediately remembered that she was not an ordinary girl, and that she was very rebellious, so she groaned a little and changed her words, "Carrey, do I remember that time we talked in the café?" ”

"Hmm." She nodded slightly, "I'll never forget." What determines our future is never what we think, but how we do it. ”

Murphy laughed, looked at her, and then at the inexplicable James Franco.

Carey Mulligan was naïve and rebellious, but not stupid, and immediately understood, leaned closer and said in a low voice, "I know, an actor has to have the professionalism of an actor, you can rest assured, Murphy, I won't let you down." ”

It wasn't loud, but the warehouse wasn't too big, and both James Franco and Bill Rothes heard it, and they looked at Murphy at the same time.

James Franco tilted his head and realized that his handsome face and charming smile, which had been useful before, were not as effective as a few words from the guy opposite.

The other party seems to be very good at dealing with girls of this age, and is simply his best learning object.

Unlike the quirky James Franco, Bill Rothes, a professional entertainment agent, knows how rebellious Carey Mulligan is and knows that this is a very difficult girl, and if it weren't for the introduction of long-time client Julian Fellowes, he would not have been her agent.

Even, he can imagine that this rebellious girl who forced her parents to have no way out and had to let her step into the showbiz will turn this small crew upside down.

But the qiē that appeared in front of him completely overturned the previous view, and this rookie director named Murphy Stanton was able to suppress Carey Mulligan...... No, rather, he's manipulating Kerry Mulligan in an extremely clever way.

Interesting...... Bill Rothes clasped his hands to his chest and looked over there, but didn't say a word.

He was a little skeptical that Carey Mulligan was going to play this role, and if it was also related to this little director named Murphy Stanton?

If that's the case, it's probably a talent.

Seeing that Carey Mulligan realized what was wrong, Murphy stood up, nodded approvingly to her, and waited for the girl to smile happily before speaking again.

"Carey, you look at the scene you just rehearsed, Hayley doesn't like Jeff, she hates it very much, right?"

"Yes." Carey Mulligan nodded busily.

"Jeff said that Hayley is very mature," Murphy briefly analyzed for her, "but I wish she was a fool, and Hayley just wanted to make Jeff think she was a fool, so ......"

Murphy looked at Carey Mulligan, who was not bad at understanding, and said, "So Hayley is innocent about chocolate cakes, likes those bands, likes cool T-shirts, and this is completely a naïve girl's face, so that Jeff can let his guard down and mislead him in the wrong direction." ”

"Bingo." Murphy snapped his fingers, "I have to say you're really smart." ”

Carey Mulligan is just a decoy to attract James Franco, even if he is not there, the independent rehearsal of the male and female protagonists mentioned before cannot really be realized, and Bill Rosies, the agent, will basically be by Carey Mulligan's side.

These Murphy have long thought about it.

On the other side, Carey Mulligan unconsciously cocked his chin and smiled very cutely, but this smile was only given to Murphy alone.

Looking over there, James Franco's heart was pounding as if it was about to burst out of his chest, and he took a deep breath and suppressed the boiling blood.

What a great guy, James Franco's eyes fell on Murphy, and he said that if he had such a means, he would not always have more goals and less gains before.
