"You don't know me anymore?" The blonde girl standing opposite tilted her head to look at Murphy and shrugged, "The big guys are really forgetful. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Although he didn't recognize the moment he met, after looking at her more, Murphy had already remembered who this girl was, although she had grown a lot taller, took off the shabby denim suit in her impression, changed into a shape-shaping casual suit, and became a big girl with bumps, but the contours of her face and the long golden hair were not much, enough to remind him that this was an old man from Australia.

"You're David's sister, Margaret Robbie." Murphy smiled and said, "Maggie, you've grown up. ”

"It's only fifteen." The little girl abruptly corrected, "I'm not called Margaret now, I changed my name according to the American pronunciation convention." ”

Murphy frowned and thought for a moment, "Margot Robbie? ”

"Uh-huh." The girl shrugged again, "You can continue to call me Maggie." ”

Glancing at her again, Murphy shook his head slightly, probably because of age and the relationship he didn't pay much attention to, but he really didn't see that this little girl was a Harley Quinn.

Despite taking off her jeans, she left Murphy with the impression that she was still the little girl galloping on horseback.

"Why did you suddenly come to Los Angeles to study acting?" Murphy vaguely remembers that when she was filming Sin City, she wasn't too interested in acting, "Don't you want to be a cowboy?" ”

Margot Robbie blinked, "I watched my performance of Sin City and found that acting is quite interesting, so ......"

It's normal for little girls to shift their interests or hobbies, and Murphy doesn't think it's strange.

Murphy raised his hand and looked at his watch, and those who knew him well knew that it meant to be ready to end, but Margot Robbie didn't know, and still stood in front, with no intention of getting out of the way.

"Maggie," Murphy had to say, "anything else?" ”

"No," Margot Robbie scratched her face, "it's okay, I just haven't seen you in a long time, and I want to talk to you for a while." ”

She said a lot, "The last time I saw you, you were still a small director, but now you have become a famous big director all over the world, even David's stupid guy is famous, I'm curious how you did it." ”

"Would you like to talk about it later when you have time?" Murphy gestured to the top of the stairs, "I still have work to do." ”

"Ah......h

It didn't seem quite the same as when she was a child, and Margot Robbie actually showed an embarrassed expression, "Sorry, Murphy, I didn't know you were busy." ”

As she spoke, she quickly stepped aside.

Murphy nodded at her, "Goodbye, Maggie." ”

"Hmm......" she smiled and beckoned, "Goodbye, Murphy." ”

Going down to the first floor, Murphy met an agent from CAA, and because of Grace's relationship, he talked to him, and the other party also had a client who participated in the audition, but the audition was for the role of Arya Stark.

Of course, he wants Murphy to give his client the green light, but Murphy won't make any decisions and commitments lightly until he sees Seth Rogan's advice and audition tape, even if the agent hints that his young client's parents are super-wealthy people from the UK who can provide a lot of facilities to the crew in Northern Ireland, and even sponsor some of the expenses.

By the time he sent the agent away and came to the audition area, today's audition was over, and it happened that Seth Rogan was also going to have people go to him for the audition discussion that followed.

For major roles like Sansa Stark and Arya Stark, the final choice of the cast can only be decided by Murphy.

When the screen dimmed again, Murphy and Seth Rogan, who were sitting near the window, pulled back the thick black curtains, and the studio returned to light.

There were only four people in the office, and apart from an assistant and Seth Rogan, it was Murphy and Carla Firth.

"Seth, you've always been hosting the auditions." Murphy looked at the big, honest-looking fat man, "Tell me what you think." ”

"I think there are two people who stand out and you can focus on." Seth Rogan stood up, walked over to the projector, adjusted it, played a video of a young actor auditioning, and said, "This girl's name is Carla Delevei, from London, England, born in 1992......"

He pointed to the image on the big screen in front of him, "She has a very peculiar wild temperament about her, similar to Arya Stark. ”

Murphy looked at the audition screen and nodded slightly, the little girl was not very pretty, but she looked quite confident, in this year of little actors like Joe Ossmont.

Throughout Hollywood, such small actors are extremely limited.

"There are also two small actors who audition with Carla Delevei about the same effect." Seth Rogan, knowing that he was not the decision-maker and was just trying to retell the situation as much as he could, pushed his glasses and said, "But I recommend Carla Delevei." ”

Murphy looked at Seth Rogen, and when he said this, it must be that the conditions of the other party are very suitable for the needs of the crew.

"If we were sure to use Cara Delevei, her parents would be able to offer a lot of facilities to the crew in Northern Ireland and provide a significant sponsorship fee." To a certain extent, Seth Rogan is also tainted with some of Murphy's style, "which is something that the other two actors can't compare." ”

Hearing Seth Rogan say this, Murphy immediately thought of the CAA agent he met before, and found Carla Delevei's information and looked at it, and sure enough, it was the little client mentioned by the other party.

"What do you think?" Murphy asked Carla Firth.

"The sponsorship is in the seven figures." Carla Firth naturally said, "We have no reason to refuse, do we?" ”

Both she and Seth Rogan looked at Murphy and waited for Murphy to make a final decision.

Such a decision was not difficult to make, and after watching Carla Delevei's audition video and profile again, Murphy thought about it for a moment and said, "Then let's be sure, with Carla Delevei playing Arya Stark." ”

He turned to Seth Rogan and said, "Let Carla Delevei's agent be informed as soon as possible, I need her to prepare for the role as soon as possible." ”

The actors for the other roles have already been decided, and they have also got their own scripts, some even went to Belfast in advance to start rehearsals, and the rest of the actors Murphy also needs to make decisions as quickly as possible.

Seth Rogen made a note on his notebook and said, "Sansa Stark's cast candidate, I recommend Margot Robbie ......"

Speaking of which, he added, "Maggie is really good, and the audition turned out to be an absolute surprise." ”

Carla Firth asked curiously, "Is it David Robbie's sister?" ”

Seth Rogan nodded slightly, "It's his sister." once starred in Nancy, a girl in "Sin City". ”

I've just seen Margot Robbie's audition video, it's really good, it's perfect for a pure vase role like Sansa Stark, plus David Robbie's relationship is here, she's almost the most suitable choice.

Although David Robbie is not like Robert Downey Jr., who has such an iron relationship with him, he can be regarded as a good partner and a good friend, and since Margot Robbie's basic conditions are suitable, Murphy will not give up on her and use other candidates.

Just like Steven Spielberg's godson and goddaughter, getting roles based on relationships is a very common phenomenon in Hollywood.

"Does she have an agent?" Murphy asked again.

Seth Rogan thought for a moment, "It seems that there is, it should be the same agent that David uses." ”

"That's good." Murphy stood up, "You also inform them as soon as possible." ”

The last two actors were confirmed, and the crew was ready to make final preparations before going to Belfast, and the rest of the work could continue on the set in Northern Ireland.

November 2005 had just arrived, and Murphy led the main cast and crew of the crew to fly to Northern Ireland on a charter flight to make the final preparations, and then strive to be able to officially start filming before the arrival of December.

The plane landed at Belfast International Airport, which is located in the heart of the city, and when he took a special car to pick him up from the hotel, Murphy saw many famous sights along the way, such as Queen's University Belfast and the Titanic Museum, where the big ship was built a century ago.

When he came to Northern Ireland, Murphy didn't take too much rest and adjust to the jet lag, and he threw himself into the work non-stop, especially gathering Philip Raschel, Helena Espola and David Robbie and others, and ran through the locations one by one to discuss the difficulties that may be encountered during the actual shooting.

The main filming location of the crew will be the oil painting hall of the Titanic studio in Belfast, such as Bran's bedroom and the council chamber of the black castle to be filmed, which were actually built in this huge film studio, and this was once the factory building of the Harland and Wolf shipyards, with enough space for the crew to set up and remodel.

In addition, Murphy took a trip to Glasgow, Scotland, to inspect an ancient castle here.

Situated 40 minutes' drive from Glasgow, the 14th-century castle was built to be the future backdrop of the Stark family in Winterfall and the first location in the planning.

Although a lot of CG compositing technology will be used in post-production, as long as there are shots that can be shot in real time, Murphy will still try to shoot them as much as possible.

The preparations went smoothly, and by the time mid-November was approaching, some of the preparations had already been completed, and Murphy was ready to start filming at any time, and the rest of the work such as setting up and costume production could be carried out while shooting.
