Chapter 90: Progress is too fast

Ask for a referral ticket!

The early morning sun shines through the bright window and falls on the drawn curtains, reflecting a golden yellow, and Murphy comes out of the bathroom, biting a toothbrush on his mouth, standing in front of the dressing mirror, and looks carefully, except for some infrared eyes, yesterday's drunkenness has not left many traces.

Shaking his head in the mirror, Murphy found that the headache was suddenly better, returned to the bathroom and spit out the foam in his mouth, and stood stunned for a while, maybe yesterday's crazy play really made him relax.

With the experience of filming "Hard Fruit Candy", he gradually discovered some patterns of headaches, when he is under too much pressure at work and nervous tension, the possibility is often the greatest, and the whole person is completely relaxed, and the inexplicable pain will disappear.

If he had been living in a relaxed state, Murphy believed that the after-effects of this strange experience would heal without medicine.

But this is obviously impossible, in a highly competitive society, unless he has no desires and no desire and does not care about the future life.

But how many people in this world can do this?

After washing up, he called to ask for a takeout, and Murphy went downstairs to the living room, because today the whole crew was on vacation to rest, so that they could recuperate and prepare to start filming, and the studio was quiet, and there was no one.

Taking out the plan from the paper folder of a desk, Murphy casually found a chair to sit down and looked through it again.

Filming was about to begin, and he had to be careful about every job, trying to find any omissions in the plan.

For the entire day, Murphy hid in his home and did not go out, keeping his hearing, sight, and spirit in relative peace.

Early the next morning, he drove to the small city of Venice, entered the office at the entrance of the warehouse, and first told Paul Wilson, who was already waiting here, that the project had been officially renamed "Saw Horror" from the previous code name M2.

"Chainsaw?"

The news quickly spread to the set, and James Franco, who was putting on makeup, asked Seth Rogan, who was next to him, "Why did you come up with such a name?" ”

Seth Rogan reminded him, "Isn't the guy in the script nicknamed Jigsaw?" ”

With Murphy's arrival, the set began to get busy, and Helena Espora did a final check on the set up by the basement toilet scene; In the reserved camera slot, Philip Raschel is setting up the camera, and his assistant is holding a hand-held camera in his hand. David Robbie picks up the main backlight with a lever and constantly exchanges ideas with Murphy to determine where the main backlight should be erected.

In the scene, Baker Klebert crouches on the ground, checking the prop's shackles, his large hands brushing over the metallic rubber props to make sure they are smooth enough not to hurt the actor's ankles.

Murphy coordinated all the work, and the news of one department after another was delivered to him.

There were also quite a few people on the periphery on the set, and although only the scene between James Franco and Seth Rogan would be filmed today, most of the main actors rushed over.

Bill Rothes is also here, Murphy is listed as a super potential client, and of course he will not be absent from the start of filming of the new film, in addition to accompanying two other potential clients under his name.

Kerry Mulligan was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, with his hands on his chest and staring at Murphy's side.

Next to her, the shorter Lily blinked curiously, also looking inside the set.

"David, move the main backlight three feet to the left and place it at a forty-five-degree angle in the bathtub," Murphy shouted from the other side of the set, "Don't turn on all the fluorescent lights, I'm going to turn on the lights and one of them will have a flickering effect." ”

"Fili, use a hand-held camera for the first shot, pay attention to the shaking."

"Helen! Has the glass on the set been realized? Can it be broken? ok! ”

"Jack! Jack! Is the actor doing his makeup? How long will it take? ”

Watching Murphy methodically direct the entire crew, Bill Rothes nodded slightly, compared to the rookie in the last shooting, he matured very quickly, full of confidence, much like a successful director.

He also participated in a lot of preparatory work for the crew, and the biggest feeling Murphy gave him was that he was making too fast progress.

Bill Rothes has signed more than one director, but the previous ones basically finished making a film and disappeared since, and there is no second chance.

What about this guy? The first film grossed nearly five times the cost of North America at the box office, and Miramax's ability to distribute was key, but he couldn't ignore the commercial elements he managed to incorporate into the film.

As an agent, still working at CAA, Bill Rothes knows enough about Hollywood circles and knows how new directors can attract attention, realize their own value, and drive the status of agents.

One is to win heavyweight awards. Looking at Murphy's age and thinking about the resources in the hands of his own agent, Bill Rothes knows that these are things that are far away in the future.

The other is commercial results, to put it simply, the box office.

In Bill Rosith's view, there is nothing more practical than the box office of a movie, after all, film art is metaphysical, no one will invest in pure art films, and even if there is, these art films are inseparable from business, and movies are the product of money and power.

In today's era, if there is no appreciation of big shots, starting from small-budget films and slowly developing until they become mainstream directors, this is the only way for many young filmmakers, and if a director's small-budget films can get a high box office, it will inevitably accelerate his film development path.

Bill Rothes has also read the script, although the script in Hollywood is far from representing the final film, but it can also explain some problems, "Chainsaw" is far more than "Hard Candy" in terms of plot and selling point, Murphy's progress is in his eyes, I believe he should do better than "Hard Candy".

"See, little one." Carey Mulligan pointed to Murphy and said to Lily next to him, "Murphy must be the best director." ”

Lily was only twelve years old, and she was born in a relationship but had a lot of knowledge, so she shook her head disapprovingly, "I live in Beverly Hills, and I haven't heard of him before!" A young director who can only shoot B-grade films! ”

"You little brat, you know!" Carey Mulligan turned her head and stared at Lily viciously, but unfortunately her baby face was not scary at all, she raised a finger and said forcefully, "In another ten years, you will see, Murphy will definitely be the top director in Hollywood!" ”

"Cut ......," Lily looked disdainful.

On the set, James Franco and Seth Rogan had already walked to their respective positions, and filming was about to start, Carey Mulligan quickly closed his mouth, and even breathed lightly, as if he was afraid of disturbing Murphy's filming.
