Jessica Chastain learned that the opening and closing scenes should be able to echo, one plus one minus, indicating that the film contains a strong dramatic change in the plot fluctuations.

For example, many professional actors usually only look at the first 10 pages and the last 10 pages of the script to determine whether there are any drastic changes and whether they can attract the audience.

Without such changes, the script would have usually been tossed into the trash in the corner.

At a glance, Jessica Chastain didn't see anything in the script that would make people shine, and even if she hadn't officially touched the film industry, it was not difficult to deduce from the idea of the script that the future film would be nothing more than bloody, violent, and extremely sensitive themes.

A little girl gets loved. Pedophilia sadistic killing, and then another girl comes for revenge......

This is by no means what a mainstream movie should be.

However, she looked at the studio, and then at Murphy opposite, and realized that with the capabilities of this kind of studio, it was impossible to produce mainstream films.

The script is not very good, but the structure is very neat, very in line with the Hollywood model, Jessica Chastain deliberately watched the opening and ending again, the opening scene is a girl being brutally tortured and killed, and the ending is her friend who kills the murderer with the same cruelty, which can be said to be very in line with the requirements that the opening scene and the final scene must echo.

In this respect, the person opposite came up with a more reliable script.

But how likely is it that such a script will succeed? Especially seeing some of the bloody scenes above, Jessica Chastain unconsciously wanted to shake her head.

Sensitive subject matter, large scale, and unthinkable investment ......

This line flashed through her mind, and Jessica Chastain naturally came to the conclusion that it was a black B-movie, and it was a black B-movie project with a very small chance of success.

Suddenly, Jessica Chastain once again sprung up with the idea that she had made the wrong choice.

Especially when I looked up and saw Murphy opposite, who was obviously younger than myself, there was no convincing power at all.

For a moment, she really wanted to give up, but the thought of a salary of $300 a week and physical exposure to filmmaking made her give up again.

"It's very likely to be a failed project......"

From the neat but bland script and humble studio, and the unreliable boss, Jessica Chastain has her own conclusion, "I am afraid that this studio will close down soon, but it is also a rare experience, and seeing a film project and a film studio end can also accumulate some experience to avoid failure." ”

She wasn't optimistic about the project at all.

Jessica Chastain remained silent, put the script aside, took the contact form and the phone on the desk, and began to contact the unlucky ones who applied for the job one by one.

Undisturbed by the sound of a phone call from the other side, Murphy was engrossed in drawing the storyboard, which had just begun, and what was being drawn was the opening scene of the script.

In the absence of sufficient funds, coupled with a relatively simple script and cast, as well as a somewhat weak plot story, it is necessary to use some special means to make the final film have a certain appeal.

Especially in the opening scene of the film, the opening plays a great role, not only to review the tone, mood, and style of the film, but also to introduce the main characters and show the audience the previous history of the main characters.

But the most important thing is to "bind" the audience to their seats and think, "This is a good film!" ”

Murphy admits that the theme and scale of the film are a bit large and dark, but he only has an investment of $300,000, which is the easiest and most effective way for a small-budget film to succeed.

With his current ability, he can't make "Chainsaw" for $300,000, let alone a tall literary film.

He's just a newbie, and relatively simple movies are preferred.

It was about eleven o'clock when Murphy put down his paintbrush, and Jessica Chastain on the other side also closed the text in front of him and said, "I contacted everyone on the list, and there were six people who were interested in the position they were hiring. ”

She looked down at the record she had made, "Two of the six are lighting artists, a set artist, two makeup artists, and a prop master. ”

Murphy nodded, propped up his arm and gently rubbed the corners of his forehead, his head ached faintly, this is an old problem for more than a year, and it can also be said to be the sequelae of this special experience.

"Have you made an appointment for the interview?" He asked.

"It's an appointment." Jessica Chastain shoved a schedule in front of Murphy, "starting at half past one in the afternoon." ”

As a student who has just come out of school, her mind is relatively not very complicated, so she specially reminded her, "Two of the six people are interns who have not yet graduated." ”

"I see." Murphy picked up the watch, stood up, and said, "That's all for the morning, Jesse, you go to lunch." ”

Jessica Chastain had just breathed a sigh of relief, and Murphy said, "After lunch, hurry up and go to the USC Film School and the California Institute of the Arts to put up all the posters." ”

Packing up her things, Jessica Chastain carried it and walked outside, and after turning her head, her mouth pursed unnaturally, obviously having some opinion about doing such a job.

There are some things that Murphy can see, but he doesn't say much, and now that he is in his infancy, it is normal to encounter any difficulties.

After a brief lunch, and back to the house for a nap, Murphy rushed to the Miton Coffee Shop in Old Chinatown before half past one, still in his previous position, and soon waited for the first interviewer.

"My name is Paul Wilson."

It was a shy looking young man sitting across from Murphy with a slightly shy smile, "I'd like to apply for a job as a set designer for your company." ”

Murphy briefly flipped through the resume he handed over and asked, "Haven't you graduated yet?" ”

"Nope." Paul Wilson shook his head, then added, "But I have experience working in this area, I've worked on two pilot films in the academy, working as a set designer and lighting engineer, and I think I'm a good fit for the industry and want to do something in film." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly took his backpack, took out a box of video tapes from it, and put it on the coffee table, "This is the video of the test film." ”

"Compared to a lot of the students I've met, you're really experienced."

Looking at the young man opposite, Murphy said seriously, "But the experimental film is different from the movie, why should I use you?" ”

Paul Wilson scratched his head, seemingly unsure of what to say.

Murphy stared at him and added, "Stanton Studios is a very professional film production company, and the staff are very promising jobs. ”

This kind of empty rhetoric is certainly not very convincing.

"I wonder if you've seen a recent documentary called Sin City, which has had a lot of influence?"

I have to say that this documentary has created a certain popularity in the Los Angeles area because of the subject matter, Murphy nodded when he saw the young man opposite, showing a confident smile, "This documentary is jointly produced by Stanton Studio and Fox Los Angeles Local Channel 6, if you look closely, you can see these, and I ......"

He pointed to himself, "It's the assistant director of Sin City." ”

As for the fact that Stanton Studios and himself are just nominal, Murphy said that he would not sue anyone else.

With his current relationship with Carla Fez, the actual person in charge of the documentary, the TV station will not disclose this to the public.

Paul Wilson's eyes lit up.

"You don't have work experience."

This sentence darkened Paul Wilson's gaze again, and Murphy was in complete control, "but I appreciate young people who have big goals, and Stanton Studios is willing to provide these young people with the opportunity to reach and really step into the film industry." ”

Murphy deliberately spread his hands and said, "Although it is not an official position, this kind of opportunity to really participate in film production is very rare in Hollywood, and Stanton Studios is not shooting commercials, but real movies!" ”

Paul Wilson nodded unconsciously.

"Mr. Wilson......" Murphy deliberately pointed to his resume, "I can see a lot of your special features in it, I think you are a talent, what is lacking now is experience, if you want, I can leave you an intern position in the upcoming film project and the set up crew, you can get in touch with those professionals who have actually made films, and become mature as quickly as possible." ”

Although it is an unpaid position, it is already rare for an intern to be able to participate in a real film production, and Paul Wilson barely gave it any thought, just nodding his head, "I do, I want to do this job!" ”

After getting this intern, Murphy explained that he would sign a formal internship contract another day and sent Paul Wilson away with his eyes.

He liked this kind of free staff the most.

The other party really has no experience, but it won't have much of a problem doing some chores.

In the time that followed, Murphy met with five more interviewees, but only in a similar way to get another intern, without identifying those for the official positions, and he needed to meet more interviewees.

In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that the people who can come to such an unknown project and company for an interview have almost no qualifications, such as these makeup artists, lighting artists and props masters who have relevant work experience, and have no experience of working independently at all.

Of course, Murphy also knew that with the salary he could offer, he would not be able to hire good people.

Any business is very difficult to start with, and you have to use all the resources at your disposal, and Murphy is no exception, and in the evening he rushes to Channel 6 to meet Kara Firth, who has just gotten off work, to meet a prop master she has introduced.
