The scenes filmed here are actually not very difficult, neither need to dig deeply, nor do they need to pursue connotation, let alone the actors' acting skills, and the most important thing is to show violent, bloody and cruel......

Even so, Murphy did not relax in filming, not only did he change the shooting angle in the morning, but after lunch, he shot for nearly an afternoon, and when there was only one plate of black and white film left, he gave the actors a long break, and continued filming after the break was over.

He himself did not rest, sitting in the car and looking at the footage that had been filmed repeatedly in order to find anything that could be improved.

This opening scene, which is only a few minutes long, Murphy attaches great importance to it.

For any film, the opening shot is like the key that opens the door to the world of light and shadow, leading the audience to the cinematic journey.

It can be said that whether a film can catch the audience's attention in a moment and have a good chemistry with the audience, the opening shot plays an important role, so for the director and the production staff, the long shot must be well thought out, sometimes it can be the beginning of the whole movie story, and sometimes it can also be the end of the whole movie story.

The opening scene of Murphy's planned movie is very simple, and it comes up to point out the theme and explain the true side of Jeff as the male protagonist, which is indeed cruel, but can it make people unconsciously think that such a person will continue to commit crimes? What will happen to you?

Whether he continues to torture and kill other girls, or someone seeks revenge on him, it is a good gimmick that can attract a group of viewers to watch it.

"Combined with the end of the script,"

Bill Rothes and the agent named Mike were still standing by the bushes in the morning, and the former said to the latter, "He used the typical beginning and end opening shots. ”

"The simplest and most brutal opening shot."

After an afternoon of on-the-ground observations, Mike was obviously much more serious than in the morning, "but it is also the way that the rookie director has the lowest chance of missing." ”

He looked at Murphy in the distance, "A very smart person, with a very clear understanding of himself. ”

In Bill Rossius's eyes, such camera techniques are also more likely to succeed in the use of new directors, and there are countless classic echoes in the history of cinema.

Mike suddenly turned his head and asked, "You're interested in him?" ”

Bill Rothes did not deny it, and said directly, "With our position in the company, it is impossible to get high-quality customer resources, and an actor of Julian Fellowes' level is already our limit, and if we want to climb up, we can only find a way to cultivate new talents." ”

"Do you think he could?" Mike asked curiously.

"Who can guarantee this kind of thing." Bill Rothes shook his head, "I just think he has some potential. ”

Mike understood what he meant, newcomers like this, they would sign a few agents of average status every year, these people could get ahead, they would naturally rise as diggers, and if they couldn't, they would have little to lose.

"And he's a director." Bill Rosiste emphasized.

Successful directors look much bleaker than the star actors in front of the screen, but the reality is quite the opposite.

Throughout the history of film for more than a hundred years, the real film leaders are directors, without great directors such as James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, and George Lucas, there would be no world cinema that has entered the golden age today.

"It's true that directing is the dominant job in the entire film industry," Mike reminded as a friend, "but every year there are thousands of filmmakers who dream of becoming directors, and how many succeed?" ”

"Anything is risky." Bill Rothes just smiled, "I think he has potential, and that's enough." ”

How did he not know the truth that the road to directing is as difficult as climbing to the sky? Even Ahn Lee, who is now popular, worked as a family cook for 6 years before that; Even Quentin Tastino, who was a nameless video shop guy before that.

Filming resumes over there, and Bill Rothes and Mike continue to whisper.

"I've been on this crew for a long time," Bill Rothes said, with his arms over his chest, looking over the set, "one is to help Julian take care of Carrey, and the other is to observe this Murphy Stanton." ”

Mike frowned slightly, "Does he really have the potential to deserve your attention?" ”

"While the path to directing varies," Bill Rothes clearly makes, "there is always some universal truth lurking inside." ”

"The most important thing is, of course, to prove yourself by strength and results." He smiled at Mike, "I can't say that now, and it's not our turn to be a director who has proven himself." ”

"What about the others?" Mike was clearly interested.

"Ability to work under pressure! Directing is a high-risk and high-pressure job, and the hard work and high pressure of shooting the film itself are enough to drive ordinary people crazy. ”

Speaking of this, Bill Rothes looked at Murphy with a hint of admiration, "I have investigated, he has suffered a lot of blows, and he has been in prison for a year, but he has not collapsed, but after he was released from prison, he did a better job, and even dared to put all the wealth he had gathered into this movie." ”

Mike was a little unimpressed, "This is a madman, right?" ”

Bill Rothes retorted, "Aren't all successful directors crazy? ”

He continued, "A director has to be able to direct the performance, and Carey Mulligan is my contracted actor, and she has improved tremendously during this time, and the most direct reason is Murphy Stanton. ”

These words are both for Mike, and Bill Rothes is also convincing himself that he can't miss out on such a potential person, "and most importantly, the ability to navigate the script." Akira Kurosawa has repeatedly pointed out that in order to become a good director, you must first become a qualified screenwriter, and the script for this project came from his own hand. ”

"Of course, I'm not saying how good this script is, "Hard Candy" is at most a workmanship."

Mike has read the script, Bill Rothes still analyzed, "The script is not excellent, but it is full of factors that attract the audience, and today's small-budget movies, if they want to attract the audience, they are nothing more than making a fuss about fists, plasma and women, which are reflected enough in "Hard Candy". ”

After going through the script in his mind, Mike found that this was indeed the case, the script began with a violent crime, with a large-scale underage girl punishing the murderer in the middle, interspersed with a sensitive Lolita plot in between......

He couldn't help but look at Murphy's side, and he was also interested in this guy, the script was really not excellent, and there was nothing creative to speak of, but it was full of gimmicks to attract the audience.
