A dilapidated truck got off the road and slowly entered the path leading to the barbecue restaurant, and after a bump, stopped in front of the prop faucet in front of the barbecue restaurant, the door was pushed open from the inside, and Robert Downey Jr. jumped out of the driver's seat first.
Murphy swapped the camera and gave Robert Downey Jr. a close-up.
He has scars on his face, several tattoos are faintly visible on his bare arms, and his whole person exudes a strong temperament.
The passenger door on the other side was also pushed open, and Philip Raschel was also switched to a close-up shot, with Carey Mulligan wearing a similar outfit to Robert Downey Jr., with short hair tied with a tie and a gloomy baby face full of murder.
This is the performance or brings the realistic love xΓΉ to the work, no one knows except herself, but it just caters to the requirements of the role.
She is not an innocent and cute Little Red Riding Hood, nor a drug-addicted girl who undergoes a cruel test, but a strong female killer with great skills.
This character is the younger sister of the male protagonist played by Robert Downey Jr., and ZΓ i did not exist in the original version, but was added by Murphy himself.
Due to the scale of the investment, as well as the limitation of the length of the film, Murphy does not plan to have too many starring roles in the film, and the plot will revolve around Jessica Chastain, Robert Downey Jr. and Carey Mulligan, and other main characters will also be led by these three people.
For example, the rotisserie owner and sheriff roles played by Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, as well as the doctor played by James Franco, have all undergone certain changes, especially James Franco's doctor, the role will be much heavier, and there will be an entanglement with the Ray brothers and sisters.
As for the other people who joined the ranks of fighting zombies, they basically belonged to the soy sauce crowd with names.
The reduction of roles can not only focus on a few main characters and highlight the main actors who are close to Murphy, but also reduce the scene transitions during filming, which can save a lot of money.
From the very beginning of the planning, Murphy took this aspect into account, and for a film like this, it was necessary to cut back on expenses.
In particular, you can't invite big-name stars, otherwise the cost will definitely pile up on an extremely terrifying number like the previous film.
Among the cast and crew of the entire crew, Murphy's salary is the highest, followed by Robert Downey Jr. and James Franco, and now Robert Downey Jr. is praising him when he is overwhelmed, and he is about the same salary as James Franco, both of which are compressed by Miramax below half a million dollars.
This is also a true reflection of the market value of the two.
Murphy made major changes to the whole film, also from the perspective of theatrical market screening.
As for the actual effect, it depends on the publicity.
The shot was completed smoothly, and as the scene in the barbecue restaurant was going back to the warehouse set outside Venice to be filmed, Jessica Chastain, who had not removed her makeup, once again joined the shooting.
Standing on the set, Murphy deliberately instructed the three actors to move, and said, "Donny, Jesse, you have to feel like you're calling, don't be as dry as you were in rehearsals." β
Jessica Chastain and Robert Downey Jr. both nodded.
Murphy turned his head and looked next to Robert Downey Jr., Carey Mulligan was not as active as he used to be, and rarely spoke on set.
"Carrey," he said, "your character and Jesse will eventually clash, and watch out for when it happens, before you get in the car." β
Hearing these words, Carey Mulligan just glanced at Murphy and didn't say anything.
Frowning, Murphy didn't say much, turned to leave, walked behind the camera set up in the track, and waited for the crew to complete the final preparations.
"She still won't talk to you?" Seth Rogen, who has no role for the time being, came to Murphy's side, "What the hell is going on with you guys?" β
Murphy shook his head and didn't speak.
"She's too headstrong, isn't she?" Seth Rogen looked at Kerry Mulligan over there, "It won't affect work, right?" β
In fact, he, Jonah Hill and James Franco don't like this innocent and cute English girl on the surface, but they are rebellious and willful on the inside, but for the sake of their friendship with Murphy, they have never shown it.
"Probably not." Murphy patted Seth Rogen on the shoulder, "Go get busy with you." β
Whether others have bad intentions or good intentions, he can tell it, and he can also see that Seth Rogan is complaining about himself.
However, Murphy is not worried, since Carey Mulligan has chosen the path of an actor, he must know when to do something, and he should also have the most basic qualities of an actor.
With the preparations complete, Murphy called to start, and Robert Downey Jr., Jessica Chastain and Carey Mulligan in the field walked toward the truck.
In a place where the camera couldn't shoot it, an experienced recording assistant, hanging a recording microphone with a pole, hung above the three of them, followed alongside.
"You want to say goodbye without saying goodbye?" Jessica Chastain grabbed Robert Downey Jr.'s arm with one hand, "Where are you going?" β
Robert Downey Jr. turned around and looked at Jessica Chastain affectionately, "You know what I do, I don't stay in one place for long!" It's useless for you to come along......"
"I came here to sue you!" The corners of Jessica Chastain's mouth curled, "I took the initiative to leave last time, and I dumped you!" β
Robert Downey Jr. was slightly stunned.
Jessica Chastain walked over to the truck and turned her head, "Now, I want you to give me a ride!" β
"You're dreaming!" A slightly gloomy voice sounded, "I'm not going to let this nasty woman get in the car!" β
Carey Mulligan walked over briskly and reached out and nudged Jessica Chastain hard.
According to the set position, Jessica Chastain will fall on the grass next to the car, although the grass is not thick, but it can also avoid injury.
But things didn't go the way they were set at all, and Carey Mulligan walked over and pushed her angle, not on the grass, but the side of the truck.
She used a lot of force.
Jessica Chastain was defenseless, and was pushed hard by the white little hands, unconsciously took two steps backwards in a row, and the side of her body hit the door handle directly, and the protruding old truck handle made a close contact directly with the white shoulder.
"Ah......h
Sharp pain came from her shoulder, and Jessica Chastain couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, and she squatted down with her other hand over her shoulder.
Looking at Jessica Chastain, Carey Mulligan felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.
Robert Downey Jr. had already run over, not that he saw that something was wrong, but that he was still in a state of performance, and it wasn't until he finished his lines and was about to help Jessica Chastain to her feet that he saw that her shoulder was already bruised.
"Doctor!" Robert Downey Jr. immediately shouted to Murphy's side, "A doctor is needed here!" β
Murphy immediately called the crew to stop, asked Paul Wilson to call the doctor assigned by the crew, and hurriedly walked over.
He squeezed down to take a look, and although there was no bleeding on Jessica Chastain's shoulder, the bruises were unusually obvious, and beads of sweat continued to roll down her fair forehead, which was obviously very painful.
β*οΌβ Murphy cursed in a low voice and shouted loudly, "Is the doctor here?" β
Several other leaders of the crew also came over, and the doctor with the medical kit trotted all the way, got out of the crowd, and squatted in front of Jessica Chastain.
"Irrelevant personnel, please get out of here." He said loudly.
Murphy waved his hand around, and the others slowly dispersed, and he turned his head to look for a moment, and Kerry Mulligan was leaning against the front of the truck, standing there with his hands on his chest, as if what had happened had nothing to do with her.
"It's okay," the doctor's voice sounded, "it's just a skin injury, and it shouldn't hurt the bones." β
"Thank you......" Jessica Chastain's voice was very low.
She turned her head, looked at Kerry Mulligan on the other side of the car, then at Murphy next to her, and let out another scream of pain.
"Paul," Murphy called his assistant director, "to arrange for a car to take Miss Chastain to the nearest hospital for a check-up, and inform Erica of this." β
He walked over to the truck door and the doorknob was a little crooked when he was hit by Jessica Chastain.
Maybe Murphy didn't notice it when he was shooting, but now he can find out that this is not the position set during the shooting at all.
In a scene like this with the risk of injury, any crew will have a relatively strict fixation, and Murphy is no exception, he will not let people hit the metal of the truck, not to mention anything else, once the actor is injured, the delay can be maddening.
Murphy glanced at Carey Mulligan and didn't do anything for the time being.
A spacious business car quickly drove over, Jessica Chastain got into the car with the help of the doctor, and Murphy walked over to the producer in charge of the life of the crew, and told him to get into the car too, and the car drove off the trail and rushed to the nearest hospital.
Many of the people in the crew are old fritters who have been in Hollywood for many years, have seen a lot of bad things on the set, and some people with lively heads have frequently fallen on Carey Mulligan.
But no one is stupid enough to stand up and say anything, although no one has ever made it public, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this actress is the director's girlfriend.
"Paul, that's all for today's shooting." Murphy confessed to his assistant director, "Now you're in charge." β
After saying that, he walked to the front of the truck, and when he passed next to Carey Mulligan, he said coldly, "You come with me, let's talk." β
He walked towards the bridge, halfway through, and found that there was no movement behind him, and when he looked back, Carey Mulligan didn't follow at all, but walked towards her makeup trailer, just like Murphy, the director, was just out of the air.
Murphy turned around and watched as Carey Mulligan got into the makeup trailer, thought for a moment, and walked over. (To be continued.) )
