I just received a notice from the editor today, and it will be on the shelves next week, I'm going to cry, what should I do if I don't save the manuscript! I can only work hard these days, so let's give some recommendation votes to encourage me.

It took another three days for Murphy to tweak the script again, and then moved on to storyboarding and storyboarding, which would not be the final version of the script, just like Hard Candy, and he would revise it as he needed during filming, and the film was independently funded by Stanton Studios, who had the most power as the director and producer.

At the same time, the work of casting the actors is also underway.

Just like last time, Murphy advertised jobs in local Los Angeles newspapers, and Bill Rothes recommended several of his signed actors.

Although this is a low-budget plasma horror film, it is a rare opportunity for new actors to star in a full-fledged feature film.

Especially if the director's previous film entered the theater, if this one can also enter the theater, the new actors in it will also have a qualification that can be used.

The first actors identified by Murphy are undoubtedly the two leading actors in the back room, with James Franco and Seth Rogan already signing official actor contracts with the crew.

Another important female role was handed over to Carey Mulligan, but Murphy was a little strange that the British girl had been staying in school quietly lately, and it was very different from her style.

"The school is keeping an eye on ......"

Sitting on a large chair in the living room of the studio, Carey Mulligan shook his feet, put down the script in his hand, and said to Murphy, who had just hung up the phone, "The school will only allow me to take a leave of absence until I get a good enough score on the test." ”

Putting away his phone, Murphy sat back down at the back of the drawing board and continued to draw the storyboard, "Test completed?" ”

"Not ...... yet," Kerry Mulligan shook his head, "next week." ”

She stood up, walked behind Murphy, clasped her hands on her chest, looked at the drawing board with interest, and said, "I will be completely free as long as I hold on for less than two months." ”

Murphy turned his head and looked at her in confusion, and Kerry Mulligan pursed his lips and reminded dissatisfiedly, "You forgot about it?" I told you, I'll drop out of school when I turn sixteen. ”

"Aren't you an exchange student?" Murphy doesn't understand these things in the United States, "Can you just drop out?" ”

"Of course not." Kerry Mulligan is confident, "But I've figured it out. ”

Hearing her say this, Murphy knew that this was not a joke, put down the carbon pencil in his hand, and frowned, "Be cautious about this matter, it's best to discuss it with your parents." ”

"Not really!" Kerry Mulligan turned his head and walked back, "They will never agree, so I don't want to discuss it with them!" ”

Then, he said dissatisfiedly, "Murphy, when did you become so verbose." ”

Murphy simply shut his mouth and went on with his work, no longer bothering the problem girl.

After the two storyboard drawings were drawn, there was a knock on the door outside, and Seth Rogan, who was in the small yard in front of the house to help Baker Klebert sort out the props, walked in with two people.

These are two women, one big and one small, the older one looks to be in her thirties, and the younger one is about ten years old, it should be a mother and daughter.

"Murphy ......" Seth Rogan, who brought the two men to Murphy's side, "these two are actors who came over to audition, and they and Bill made an appointment to meet here." ”

Murphy stood up, and Carey Mulligan in the back immediately ran over to deliver a towel, he took it, wiped his hands, returned the towel, and introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Murphy Stanton, the owner of this company and the director of the crew you are interviewing. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the two people without a trace, and he could see that the older woman was also examining him.

This woman is wearing delicate makeup, dressing to look quite tasteful, and carrying a Chanel bag in her hand, obviously not a character from the lower echelons of Hollywood.

"Hello, Director Stanton." The woman nodded to him and introduced herself, "I'm Jill Koren, and this is my daughter Lily. ”

"Hi, Lily." Murphy beckoned to the girl.

The little girl looked very cultured and said politely, "Hello, Director Stanton." ”

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Bill Rossis turned out of the entrance, saw Murphy and the others, and hurriedly walked over.

"I'm sorry, Jill." He smiled apologetically at the middle-aged woman, "There is a traffic jam on the road, it's late." ”

The woman nodded at him, "It's okay. ”

She turned to look at Murphy, "When can we start auditions?" ”

"Please wait a moment." Murphy instructed Seth Rogen, "Take the two guests to the lounge first and wait for my announcement." ”

Seth Rogen led two women, one older and one small, towards the lounge on the other side, and someone walked in at the door, James Franco and Paul Wilson were chatting while walking, and when they turned into the living room, their eyes somehow turned to Seth Rogen's side.

Bright-eyed and bright-toothed face, sweet appearance, a bit of retro temperament......

His feet were still walking towards Murphy, but James Franco's head couldn't turn, and he felt that the soul fire that he had been snuffed out by Carey Mulligan had been ignited again.

Fortunately, he still knew what this place was, and with all his strength he forced his head back, followed Paul Wilson, and came to Murphy's side.

"This is the client I signed a few days ago......" Bill Rothes was talking to Murphy about the origin of the two, "I finally managed to convince them to sign the contract, Jill Colon is the president of a women's club in Beverly Hills, she has a lot of influence in the circle, she wants to pave the way for her daughter's future acting career, if it wasn't for a friend introduction, they wouldn't have chosen me at all." ”

Murphy nodded, "As long as her daughter can get above the level." ”

The benefits of having a good relationship with such a person far outweigh the disadvantages.

"That little girl is a second-generation star." Bill Rothes continued, "Her father is a veteran British singer who once won an Oscar. ”

James Franco had been standing beside Murphy, pretending to be indifferent, and across from him, Carey Mulligan, who had placed the towel on his chest, looked at him with his hands on his chest, his big smart eyes blinking.

The little client was clearly taken seriously by Bill Rossis, and after a few words to Murphy, he turned away and walked towards the lounge where they were.

Waiting for Bill Rothes to walk away, James Franco asked in a low voice, "Murphy, were both of you going to audition just now?" ”

"No," Murphy shook his head, "that little girl is." ”

"Oh?" James Franco's eyes lit up, "It can't be my daughter, right?" ”

"That's right." Murphy walked towards the audition room, "She's auditioning for the role of your daughter in the film. ”
