Chapter 314: Blood Reunion

A dark brown house sits on a secluded roadside, surrounded by lush grassy grassy grass that has been beautifully manicured, and the road below the grass is full of parked vehicles with satellite receivers, which Carla Firth borrowed from Fox Television for filming.

Around the car, reporters in Fox and other TV vests were around, their cameras and camera lenses all aimed at the dark brown house.

After coming here to complete some of the actors' solo scenes, Murphy began to shoot the scene where the Nick and Amy incident was tracked and reported by media reporters, which was also one of the few major scenes in the shooting, just like the current furnishings around the house, it was impossible to shoot in a low-key and quiet manner.

Originally, several shots for reporters and broadcast trucks went smoothly, but as the sun climbed into the sky and the town woke up from its slumber, the shooting order was instantly chaotic, and a large number of onlookers appeared.

One after another townsfolk appeared around the filming location without warning, and in this secluded town, there were not many collective entertainment activities, and the filming of the crew was obviously regarded by them as a good show to watch.

More and more people were showing up around the location, some dragging their families around, and even more exaggeratedly, some people brought in chairs, as if they wanted to spend the whole day here.

“cut!”

Near the entrance of the dark brown house, Murphy's voice rang out, and he called out to the crew, "Take a break for ten minutes." ”

James Franco and Charlize Theron, who are the heroes and heroines, are still putting on makeup in the trailer behind the house, and Murphy is now shooting the footage of the media and reporters, and suddenly so many people are messed up, completely disrupting the plan.

This was also an unplanned and sudden situation.

"Murphy......" Paul Wilson walked over, "do you want me to take someone to drive them away?" ”

"There are too many people." Murphy could already see hundreds of people, and the crew needed to shoot here for a considerable amount of time, and it would be very troublesome if the relationship with the local residents was strained, and he thought for a while, "No, we'll treat them as onlookers in the film." ”

In the film, Amy's disappearance caused a sensational social event, and it was normal for people to gather around to watch.

However, this is a country with relatively perfect copyright, and the same is true for personal portrait rights, if these people are allowed to appear in the movie screen without permission in the final film, once someone pursues it, it will also be very troublesome.

But it is the norm for Hollywood to be watched on exterior scenes, and it is not known which onlookers will be filmed into the camera, and each crew has a mature coping strategy.

"Ask the production assistant to draw up an agreement." Murphy then said to Paul Wilson, "Go to the official organization in town and have them accompany them to go door-to-door to find autographs." ”

There will be a lot of location shooting in the back, and there will definitely be people who will continue to watch, so that these troubles can be solved at once.

"No problem?"

After Paul Wilson left, Carla Firth came over, "Onlookers won't affect the filming?" ”

"In fact, it's not bad to have onlookers, and the media needs to stage a farce in the movie."

Murphy pointed to the growing number of townspeople with folding chairs, "That's pretty much what I wanted, and I wanted to show something like the one that happened on Grettner Green Street across the street from Nicole Brown Simpson's house at the time of the Simpson case."

He turned his head in the direction of the van behind the dark brown house and said, "During the rehearsal, I also had Jim refer to the Simpson wife murder case. ”

"But the two cases are different after all." Carla Firth stood next to him, looking at the grass below, and there were more and more people around him, and it seemed that half of the town had appeared, "Do you think the public reaction in the film's setting is logical?" ”

Murphy didn't answer directly, but said, "You used to do social current affairs news, you should know better than me." ”

Carla Firth nodded, "The orientation of media opinion to public opinion, and the fact that the public always only wants to see what they want to see, and only believes what they see. ”

"It's like this, the crowd in the square." Murphy pointed to the crowd of onlookers, "If you are incited, there will only be two reactions: the most excited cheers and the most vile accusations." ”

He shook his head, "Since Amy has come back to find her husband and bring out the best side of what they want to see with Nick, they would rather believe that this fairy tale is true." ”

The set has already been set up, just waiting for the two leading actors James Franco and Charlize Theron to finish their makeup, and what will be filmed is a very, very important scene in the whole movie, Amy kills her ex-boyfriend Collins and returns to Nick's side.

Murphy deliberately gave this scene a name - a bloody reunion!

There would be nothing to do, the crew was waiting, and Murphy had a few more words with Carla Fest.

"I heard that Twentieth Century Fox is going to merge the film production department with the television production department?" He asked with interest, "Is it true?" ”

"It's currently being planned." Carla Firth nodded, "I guess I'll wait until after this year's Emmy Awards to merge." ”

"Isn't your power greater?"

"But there are also more competitors." Carla Firth smiled, "I'm also going to have to figure out how to make TV series, it's going to take a long time for your Game of Thrones to start production." ”

"Hmm......" Murphy frowned, he really didn't know much about American dramas, if it weren't for the name of "Game of Thrones" with the eye-catching "Song of Killing and", he wouldn't have specially found it and dragged it to watch, and it wouldn't have helped much.

He and Kara Firth are both very good friends and staunch strategic allies, and from projects such as "Deadpool", you can see that Kara Fez's full operation, as long as Murphy can do it, of course, he also wants to help Kara Fez.

What's more, if Carla Firth really goes to the top of Twentieth Century Fox, it will only be good for him, a director who mixes up with Hollywood.

"Game of Thrones" is still in the stage of writing the script, and the preparation is extremely complicated, and it is impossible to shoot and produce it immediately, is there anything else?

Suddenly, Murphy remembered what he had just said.

"Kara, what do you think of the Simpsons murder?" Murphy said thoughtfully, "With a different perspective, we filmed this case that shocked the whole United States into a mini-series. ”

Hearing these words, Carla Firth also fell into thought, "It seems to ...... It seems to have a certain feasibility. ”

"You get a professional to evaluate the project." Murphy just mentioned it, and he didn't know if it was feasible or not.

However, with the sensationality of the Simpson murder case, if the quality of the series is guaranteed, there should be no shortage of viewers.

The huge impact of this case in North America has been heard of by passers-by like Murphy.

In 1994, former American football star, then movie star O-J. Simpson was accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown and his friend Ronald Goldman, due to Simpson's star status, and the careful planning of the celebrity defense team he hired, the murder trial quickly evolved into a sensational news and entertainment event in the United States, with the prosecution having a huge amount of evidence, after 8 months of trial, the jury finally found Simpson not guilty.

This "trial of the century" had a profound impact on American culture and left a deep imprint on the hearts of every American at that time.

Even more than ten years after the verdict of the case was announced, the truth is still inconclusive, which is a good opportunity for TV dramas with visual as the main mode of expression to mobilize various means to express "ambiguous" intentions.

Murphy's words can only be regarded as a proposal, and there are still too many roads and procedures to go if it can really become a TV series project that can be filmed and produced.

After James Franco and Charlize Theron, who were dressed up, appeared in front of the house, Murphy put those aside for the time being and continued filming with the crew.

James Franco and Charlize Theron, who was covered in 'bloodstains', got acquainted with the position first, and then Murphy began to shoot.

As with the studio shoot, Murphy didn't need any hand-held shots and shake lenses, and the two cameras were set up behind the door and on the left side of a black Chevrolet sedan at angles that would not interfere with each other, and were used to film Charlize Theron and James Franco, respectively.

Filming soon began in earnest.

The first image that came to Murphy's director's monitor was from James Franco, captured by Camera 2.

He pushed open the door and walked out, saw the Chevrolet sedan parked in front of the house, and also noticed the woman in the driver's seat inside, and was stunned for a moment, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he seemed completely incomprehensible, why Amy, who had disappeared, suddenly appeared.

Murphy nodded, although he did not have the advantages that Ben's natural facial paralysis could bring, James Franco's acting skills were better, and his current condition was good enough, and there was no past laughter on his handsome face, which fully showed the mentality that Nick Dunn should have.

Across from him, Charlize Theron pushed open the door and swayed towards James Franco, her eyes looking straight at him, as if she had seen the big boy she had once fallen in love with.

The media reporter, who was played as an extra, immediately followed, and the camera lens in his hand was focused on Charlize Theron, especially the dark red blood stains on her white pajamas.

The two men got closer and closer, but the expressions on their faces were different.

James Franco was still in a daze, and Charlize Theron was already crying, throwing herself into James Franco's arms like a lost child finding a home.

Shot No. 1 was immediately adjusted to a close-up.

"You damn cousin!" James Franco finally spoke.

The surrounding reporters raised their cameras one after another and took pictures of the two hugging each other.

"Stop!" After Murphy shouted to stop, he walked quickly to James Franco and Charlize Theron, "This shot doesn't work well, I need to redesign!" (To be continued.) )
