"Then it's the ability to command and drive the team."
All directors have to thank their team when they win awards, and many people may think that this is polite words and scene words, but professional entertainment agents like Bill Rothes know very well that this is a reaction to the real situation, and one of the biggest differences between film and other arts is that the art of film is not something that can be completed by a single person or a few people, and a feature-length film is at least the brainchild of a team of dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people.
Although Hollywood is in charge of the producer, and the producer has absolute power over the film, the director is the real leader in the specific shooting process of the film.
The director must not only coordinate the actors' schedules and direct the actors' performances, but also coordinate the work schedule and plans of the cameramen, set designers and other specific types of work.
His eyes fell on Jack Watson, who was touching up Emily and James Franco's makeup, "Mike, you should be able to tell that except for this makeup artist, everyone else is destined to be eliminated by Hollywood." Murphy Stanton is the one who commanded and led such a group of people, conducted three weeks of filming, and also formed a certain tacit understanding of these losers, which is very rare. ”
Bill Rothes's words are very polite, but they are some real reflections of this circle, "Everyone wants to succeed, especially in a place with fierce competition like Hollywood, but they are not afraid of wolf-like opponents, but they are afraid of pig-like teammates, sometimes a person works hard by himself, and as a result, he can't get the support of his teammates at all, and even various restrictions, even if he makes some shining achievements, he is completely drowned in the mediocrity of other teammates, and he can't get the corresponding reward."
In the end, he said sonorously, "On the other hand, Murphy Stanton, surrounded by pig teammates, can do his best to drive this group of pigs to run." ”
Hearing him say this, McHaha laughed, "I want to rob you of being praised by you like this." ”
Bill Rothes also laughed, he certainly knew it was a joke, and he thought Murphy Stanton had potential, but others didn't.
The two spoke a few more words, and the shooting over there seemed to be over, and Bill Rothes was just about to pass over, and Mike seemed to remember something and suddenly called out to him.
"Bill, I just remembered that someone from the sports agency mentioned it more than a month ago," he frowned, "this Murphy Stanton has had some trouble with the company. ”
"I know, I've looked into it." Bill Rothes simply didn't care, "I don't know what he filmed, squeezing $100,000 out of Kobe Bryant, the star player in the basketball department." ”
He laughed, "It's just a basketball department that the company doesn't pay attention to." ”
If it were to American football, he would think about it.
"That's it for today!" Murphy jumped out of the Ford, handed the camera to Paul Wilson, and exclaimed, "Hurry up and clean up the set, I've ordered a great dinner for everyone." ”
Paul Wilson grabbed the camera and muttered, "It's not going to be a burger and pizza again, is it?" ”
Murphy made a gesture to make a joke and added, "Not just burgers and pizzas, but hot dogs and cokes." ”
The eyes of the people around them were blank, and the fast food was about to torture their stomachs lately.
It's just Murphy's joke, he knows how to work loosely and tightly, and the crew has been working for many days in a row, except for a day off at the beginning, and there has been no rest until now, and he also needs to reward these guys appropriately.
At noon, he asked Jessica Chastain to contact a barbecue restaurant in the town, and directly contracted the entire storefront, and the crew went to enjoy a barbecue dinner collectively tonight.
Of course, as a northern basin area far from the bustling area of Los Angeles, the price of barbecue here is relatively low.
Directing Paul Wilson and Jessica Chastain to load the film, Murphy heard a greeting sound on the left.
"Hi, Murphy."
He immediately turned around and shook the hand that was reaching across from him, "Hi, Bill. ”
Then, he shook hands with the person next to him, "Hello, Mike." ”
"Do you have time?" Bill Rothes looked around, the set was almost cleaned up, "I want to talk to you. ”
"It just so happens that I have something to talk to you about." Murphy took the lead towards a quiet spot by the lake, waited for Bill Rothes to catch up, and said, "When will my heroine come back for filming?" Without her, the crew would have stopped. ”
Carey Mulligan left the cast a few days ago to return to school in Los Angeles.
There are two main characters in the film, and James Franco's one-man show has been almost filmed in the past few days, and the heroine will never come back, and Murphy is really going crazy.
"Murphy, I'd love to have Kerry back, too." Bill Rothes's attitude has never been more sincere, "With your help, Carrey's acting skills have improved very quickly. ”
He sighed, "But you know, Carey took too much leave some time ago, and the school already had an opinion, and she also complained to the children's association, and she always had to stay in school for a few days. ”
Hearing these words, Murphy had a headache, as an investor, he was really a little disgusted with various trade unions or associations.
However, this is not something he can change, now he is just a small person, who cares about his thoughts and opinions.
Murphy knew that the school and children's associations were much tougher than the Mulligans, who were far away in London, England, and Julian Fellowes, Carey Mulligan's temporary guardian in Los Angeles.
"Don't worry,"
When Murphy came to a stop at the lake, Bill Rothes followed, "I'll urge the school and the children's association to get her over as soon as Kerry can take a leave of absence." ”
Turning his head, Murphy looked at him with a little surprise, Bill Rothes is a multifaceted agent, yes, but when did the attitude get so good?
The corners of his mouth curled, tilted his head slightly, and asked, "Bill, is there something wrong with you?" Let's just say it. ”
"It's not a big deal." Bill Rothes laughed, changed to a relaxed tone, and asked tentatively, "Murphy, if I'm not mistaken, you don't have an agent yet, do you?" ”
Murphy scratched his head, he had been busy since he started to prepare, and he had long neglected the matter of his agent, and no agency would be interested in him.
"Not really." Murphy shrugged, "I'm just a newbie without any resume. ”
"No, no,......" Bill Rothes shook his finger at a pinch, "I think you have a lot of potential." ”
At this point, Murphy couldn't hear what he meant, he was really stupid, he glared at the other side, "Could it be that you want to be my agent?" ”
Bill Rothes nodded, "That's what I meant." ”
Things were a bit sudden, Murphy thought for a moment and said, "Well, you go to the crew's barbecue dinner together, and we'll talk about it when we get to town." ”
