Early in the morning, Beverly Hills had already started a busy day, and the mansions on the side of the oak road exuded incredible warmth and charm, and in one of the 80,000-square-foot villas, James Franco woke up from his sleep and just opened his eyes to a huge magician's makeup photo across the bed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"A crazy day has begun!"

James Franco muttered a few words, quickly broke away from James Franco, entered the state of a magician, grabbed the black costume he took from the crew next to him, put it on his body, washed it as quickly as he could, held the iconic magic ball, walked out of the bedroom, and walked into the rehearsal room next to it.

It's a very large rehearsal room, and in the center of it is a huge model sand table with an unobstructed view of Manhattan.

Walking to the front of the sand table, James Franco stared at the location of the Brooklyn Bridge for a moment, and said to himself, "Cut off all traffic on Manhattan Island, create a reason to force people to leave, and then plant bombs on the ship......"

"Hahaha......" he let out a grotesque laugh, hoarse and piercing, "let them all blow up!" Everyone has become a bad guy! ”

James Franco had an eerie smile on his face, as if he was really planning an attack on Manhattan.

Suddenly, he felt the sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings in his head, "buzzing...... Buzzing and buzzing......" kept ringing, the sound changed from small to loud, and gradually escalated into a huge roar, he felt that something was squeezing outward from his veins and almost bursting his body, and the sounds around him were covered with sound insulation and blurred and deformed like electronic devices, and the patterns in his eyes kept shaking and distorting.

The skin began to chill, James Franco felt it twitching involuntarily, and the kitten scratched the raised goosebumps with the sharp tips of his claws, and the itching pain gradually penetrated into the bones along the pores, and he wanted to touch his hands but couldn't touch them, and it didn't work to scratch them, so he could only shake his body and try to rub the bones by shaking the flesh to try to stop the itching.

Ever since he hid at home studying the role of the magician, and has become more and more able to grasp the emotions of the characters, he has developed this strange feeling.

James Franco closed his eyes, shook his head vigorously, and stood here quietly for a few more minutes, completely out of his magician state.

There seemed to be psychological hints, and all kinds of weird sensations in his body and mind suddenly disappeared, and his whole person became energetic.

Gradually, James Franco returned to normal.

"I wonder how the crew is preparing?"

Thinking of this, he left the rehearsal room and prepared to go to the warehouse set in Venice, "Let's go meet that guy Murphy." ”

On the set of the warehouse in Venice, Murphy is discussing Chris Dane's action design with the action director, Chris Dane in the last film, he formulated the role of a captor rather than a judge, so as to set an unbreakable bottom line, so as not to slide into the abyss, which determines that he will not use weapons extensively, but mainly close hand-to-hand combat, in order to meet Murphy's realistic and sharp requirements, The action director and his team designed a set of mixed martial arts techniques that can be upgraded at any time based on his own conditions and the situation of his opponents.

This kind of zero-distance physical confrontation is also destined for Henry Cavill to train with a large amount of exercise.

Murphy was well aware that action scenes were very important for the film to be engaging.

The movie used to be an absolute classic, but the action scenes can only be said to be relatively general, if it weren't for the support of a strong industrial system, the action scenes are estimated to not even be qualified, especially the scene of Batman and the thugs, some places really make people can't look at it directly, not to mention the level of action scenes, and it doesn't even conform to the thinking logic of normal people.

The discussion was over, and no sooner had the action director left than James Franco knocked on the door and walked in.

"Hi, Murphy." James Franco was not polite at all, pulled over a chair, sat down opposite Murphy with his legs crossed, and asked casually, "Is the work going well?" ”

"All the best." Murphy glanced at him and frowned slightly, "Where have you been this month?" ”

If it weren't for the frequent phone conversations, he might have thought James Franco had disappeared from the face of the earth out of thin air.

"I ...... Well, I'm ......," James Franco shrugged, a rather awkward-looking smile, "I locked myself in my villa in Beverly Hills, studying the role of magician. ”

Hearing James Franco say this, Murphy couldn't help but put down what he was doing and looked up at him seriously.

It only takes one glance for Murphy to see that James Franco has clearly changed something from the last time the two met.

He was thinner than before, and it seemed that he had not rested well recently, and he looked a little haggard, and if he paid a little attention, he could find heavy dark circles under his eyes.

"Jim, didn't I tell me if I had any questions?" Murphy raised his hand and asked, "You're in a bad mental state." ”

James Franco's hard work is good, but he also doesn't want to see that the film hasn't started filming yet, and Rotlan Lan will boil down his body first.

"Hmm...... I studied the films and characters you recommended, and then locked myself in my room in the villa for a whole month, writing in my diary, trying different madness, and finally getting myself into a psychopath......"

Leaning back in his chair, James Franco pulled out a smile, "Since last week, I've only been able to sleep four hours a night, and I've been thinking all night and exhausted. ”

"You ......," Murphy shook his head, "do you remember what I said?" ”

James Franco smiled again, "Don't worry, Murphy. I'm very clear-headed, and I know where my limits are. ”

"It's good to be sober! If you're depressed because of the character, they won't let me go! ”

Murphy was talking about the rest of the Stanton party, and James Franco knew it, so he finally laughed and said to Murphy, "You, sometimes you think too much. ”

That's true, Murphy also admits it, maybe James Franco can't understand it, but he himself knows very well, after all, the former Heath Ledger can't forget it at will.

Murphy stood up and walked across from him and patted James Franco on the shoulder, "Give yourself a vacation to relax, call Lily, it's better to go to the Caribbean or Hawaii together for a vacation, and wait for my notice." ”

James Franco thought of the worse state of life lately and nodded, "Hmm...... I really should go out and relax. ”

Murphy hurriedly said, "You wait for my call, don't rush into the crew." ”

Seeing that James Franco's mental state is not very bad, he is also relieved, but it is better to let him relax first, health is more important than the role.

Sending off James Franco, Murphy went to Gal Gadot's office and briefly looked at the financial statements of the crew.

One of the basic skills of a Hollywood producer includes "financial statements", and the complete industrial production system of Hollywood has extremely complex requirements for production management, requiring producers to prepare financial statements every week, including how to spend money in the coming week......

This part of the crew is jointly handled by Gal Gadot and a third-party guarantee, although they are both producers, but Murphy and Gal Gadot have a very different division of labor.

Compared to Gal Gadot's overall management, Murphy is completely a creative producer.

In a Hollywood drama, the producer is the operator of the project and has a key determinant of its success. As the driving force of the project, the creative producer is what creativity is all about. Whether it's the interpretation of the story, the choice of actors, the selection of directors or even the promotion of the film, it requires the pioneering and sincere brains of creative producers.

Throughout the project, the creative producer plays multiple roles at every moment – mother, father, lover, affair partner, bosom friend, teacher, fighter, negotiator, arbiter, dreamer, and so on.

The creative producer watches the project is completed, fantasizes about the next project, gives birth to the project and then grasps it in his hands, so that the project has a life of its own, constantly shaping, taking shape, injecting content to show the whole world, and then giving hope to be able to stand out.

There's nothing more gratifying for a director than working with a creative producer, and no film or audiovisual marriage story can compare to the great collaboration between a producer and a director.

But even in Hollywood, there are quite few excellent creative producers, and Gal Gadot still has some gaps, so Murphy has to shoulder part of the work of creative producers, and Gal Gadot is responsible for the specific management.

Just like he climbed up from the bottom step by step, producers also need to accumulate work experience.

On the other hand, whether in preparation or filming, like the division of labor between him and Gal Gadot, Murphy requires his crew to have a highly professional division of labor.

As we all know, the production system of the Hollywood film industry is based on the production process of fine division of labor, and there are currently more than 140 types of work in the production process of Hollywood films.

Although movies are an entertaining spiritual product, Hollywood has materialized and industrialized it based on the needs of the market.

As a result of this fine division of labor, on the one hand, every detail of the film production, such as set design, scene performance, character dialogue, etc., will be very good and exquisite because of the control of quite proficient experts; On the other hand, when every detail expert wants to express his or her own creative personality, many personalities will collide with each other and fail to grasp the overall situation, and eventually be drowned in the noise of the crowd, becoming the appendage of production procedures and standardization.

Until now, all Hollywood commercial productions are part of it.

However, in the process of production, Murphy also established the concept of the 'big film industry' with Twentieth Century Fox.
