The dark room was unusually quiet, Murphy and the others were hiding in the most corner, the camera was focused on James Franco, and a sexy and hot girl pounced on him, kissing him frantically, like a goat in heat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

“cut！” Murphy shouted, "This is over. ”

James Franco stepped back and sat on the couch as Jack Watson went over to touch up his makeup while his assistant came to Amanda Seyfried to touch up the girl's makeup.

"Well done, Amanda." Murphy gave a thumbs up over there.

This is his usual style, and he always gives much more praise than criticism to actors, especially young actors, as long as their performance is not too bad, he will help them build confidence.

Amanda Seyfried's performance should be quite good among girls of the same age, when the character is quiet, she has a kind of pity that can touch people's hearts, and when the character should be as crazy as just now, she looks extremely sexy and coquettish.

Like the split of the character itself, Murphy ultimately chose Amanda Seyfried in order to use her to drive a wedge between the audience.

He likes this way of introducing characters, with Andy, played by Amanda Seyfried, sneaking in like a werewolf and lunging at Nick Dunn, who is clearly not too resistant.

When Murphy was looking for Andy's actors, he was very clear about finding someone who could immediately divide the audience into two factions, like wielding a big sword and splitting the theater in half, and the women would cross their arms in disgust, lean back in their chairs and say, 'He's a bastard,' and the men would touch their chins and lean forward and respond, 'yes.' It's understandable, though.'"

In the audition, Amanda Seyfried showed this ability, and the footage just shot also proves that she has this ability, she will make people feel that they can completely understand the reason for Nick Dunn's cheating, and on the other hand, they feel that this kind of deviance is rotten and must be punished severely.

The role seems simple, but in fact it is not easy to grasp, and Murphy will also give Amanda Seyfried enough guidance, and the creation of a successful role is often the result of the joint efforts of actors and directors.

As a comprehensive art, film will inevitably go through a long run-in, controversy and sparks in the creative process, and the director will adjust the state of the actors; The actor's ideas inspire the director, and sometimes he uses his own charm and energy to change the director's original intention, producing unexpected and better results; In the later stage, the director may process it again based on the shooting material.

In a film, the screenwriter is the soul, the actor is the soul, and the director is also the soul.

In this process, any link is indispensable.

After filming a series of scenes about Amanda Seyfried, Murphy pulled the entire crew out of town and began filming scenes where Amy's fans set up a search team to search for her traces.

Filming was also carried out in crossover, and the shooting of the search team, he mainly placed it in prime time shooting.

The golden hour is also known as "", and the use of "gold" and "magic" to describe it is enough to see the preciousness and magic of this time period. It lasted for a short period of time, with a predominantly golden color, and was mostly taken in the early morning after sunrise and in the evening before sunset.

As the sun approaches the horizon, the light becomes warmer and richer, and the atmosphere through which the light passes absorbs most of the blue light, leaving behind the warmer component of the spectrum, showing the charm of golden light.

The golden hour light has a golden color, which can bring a new look to the ordinary scene, and the picture is very charming.

Unlike the warm yellow artificial lighting under the fluorescent lamp, the outdoor natural light in the golden hour is warm, soft and layered, when the sun is just above the horizon, so the shadow is longer and deeper, which can add a lot of shooting possibilities visually.

However, Murphy and the crew also have to make a lot of preparations for this.

The golden shooting time is very short, Murphy will lead the crew to the venue in advance a few hours before the golden time arrives, and prepare all the equipment, which saves a lot of time to make mistakes, and if you can't shoot it all at once, you will waste a lot of time.

When shooting, he will have Filip Raschel face the light and use a wide-angle lens to shoot the search team, the light conditions in the golden shooting time can make any shooting scene look beautiful, the details are displayed, and the layers are shaped, and the use of close-up or telephoto lenses will hide the advantages of the golden shooting time.

Throughout the shoot, Murphy was in the middle of the shoot, and now he is rarely directly involved in the specific work.

Directors are different from photographers, lighting engineers, artists, editors and other types of work, and need to consider from storytelling, scheduling, editing, to actors, sets, recordings, soundtracks, etc., and need to master the skills and knowledge of each specific type of work, as well as extend to aesthetic expression, to meet the expression of the director's personal aesthetic, political, and worldview needs.

As a director, Murphy not only has the ability to control details, but also has the ability to control the story, scheduling, editing, actors, sets, recordings, soundtracks and other aspects.

After the filming of the search team, the crew left the town and moved to a nearby lake villa area not far away to shoot Amy's captivity by her ex-lover Collins.

Here, Murphy shot a lot of large-scale shots, not only the scene where Charlize Theron 'blew up' a chrysanthemum with a wine bottle, but also a lot of dew point shots.

This must be an R-rated film, and Murphy knows it very well, so as early as when he signed the contract, it was indicated that the actors and actresses would have dew scenes, and guys like James Franco were not a problem at all, and Charlize Theron was no problem.

In the films that South African Diamond has starred in in the past, the dew point scene is not one or two.

The most important scene here is when Amy fabricates false evidence to frame Collins for kidnapping her and then killing Collins.

For many of the lines here, Murphy has been polished many times to reduce logical loopholes, such as when Amy came in, Collins told her that the surveillance system had just been activated, and the surveillance system was mainly aimed at the outside of the villa and near the doorway, not the inside of the house.

No one likes to live under surveillance, not even a character like Collins, who is equally controlling.

As for Amy's ability to get the wallpaper knife after being tied up, Murphy deliberately left it behind, and this loophole was deliberately shown to the audience in order to echo the anti-Hollywood emotions and naked ridicule of the media later.

He deliberately exaggerated this part of the scene with artistic techniques.

Murphy didn't want to make this part very close to reality in the first place, but deliberately made the scene of Amy's imprisonment to the counter-murder exaggerated to the point of unbelievable, and it will be more paradoxical later, but he liked the filming process of this part.

It's not that two people get along sweetly, but that one of them gets what he wants, and the other becomes a sacrifice to achieve his goal, and when this scene is filmed, it is more troublesome than expected, not because of the content inside, but mainly because of the problem of cleaning.

Murphy filmed for two days in total, and changed the wardrobe, bed, and pillow more than 30 times, because every time the reshoot was made, all the supplies stained with prop blood needed to be replaced.

"It is a shameful thing for a person to be slaughtered like a lamb in the process of mating, but someone always needs to do it."

Gal Gadot, who came to visit the class, stood near the director's monitor, accompanying Murphy to watch the footage that had just been filmed, probably because he had been under a lot of pressure recently, and Murphy seemed a little chattering, "Amy is trying to use these video records to create a new incident and add a new piece to her victimization history." So she was going to mess up his hair, rip off his shirt, and make him bleed, and of course, she let him get a shot, and she sent him on his way. ”

However, from the footage, only blood can be seen, and there is no scene where Collins' throat is ruptured, which needs to be added in post-production.

Gal Gadot had read the script before and asked curiously, "Will you die if you cut your throat like this?" ”

"That's one of Amy's reasons for giving him a shot, because after strenuous exercise, the blood flow will increase."

After thinking for a while, Murphy said, "If you want to kill someone in prison, you will often be in the playground, because the heart beats faster after strenuous exercise, and at this time it hurts the main blood vessels, and it is only a matter of a few seconds to hang up, and it is too late to call someone." ”

Hearing this, Gal Gadot suddenly felt heartache, moved closer to Murphy, and hugged him gently, and only she knew that in the dead of night, Murphy would often wake up from nightmares in his sleep, and some memories in prison did have an extremely profound impact on him.

"It's okay." Murphy could feel Gal Gadot's concern, and regardless of whether it was on the set, he kissed her lightly and continued the topic just now, "Amy's setting is a very knowledgeable Harvard top student who knows this truth very well, so this drama treatment is very much in line with her psychopath's character. ”

Every time Gal Gadot sees this character, he has a chill down his spine, and it would be too scary if there was such a woman in the real world.

Frankly speaking, she has never been a fan of Murphy, and Murphy's films have never met her aesthetics, and this one can be described as typical.

This is a script that makes her feel aggrieved, because in the end, she didn't give people a serious catharsis, was Amy brought to justice? No. Did Nick expose her? No. In the end, this marriage locked the two of them tightly like a cage, and it was even more uncomfortable than at the beginning.

At least at that time, although they complained about each other, there was still the possibility of divorce, but now they have to pretend to be harmonious while hating, and acting for others is really more uncomfortable than a capital crime.

Gal Gadot's eyes turned to Murphy, "This guy always likes to shoot the dark things in human nature. (To be continued.) )
