Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

The press hall was crowded, hundreds of reporters gathered here, the camera lens in their hands was aimed at the group of people on the signing table in front, and kept pressing the shutter to capture every figure, maybe some people on the stage are not famous enough, but the project with an investment cost of 40 million US dollars can naturally attract people's attention.

Although in today's Hollywood, there are many films with an investment of hundreds of millions, but it is still very rare for an independent film to have a production cost of 40 million US dollars.

This is the signing ceremony of the cast of "Sin City", and it is also a media conference specially held by Miramax for publicity.

Robert Downey Jr., James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogan, Sienna Miller, Jessica Simpson, Purple Chang and many other actors who have long signed contracts with the crew have come to another formal signing.

Of course, there is no shortage of Jessica Alba.

After Murphy consumed a lot of saliva, the Latino actress with an angelic appearance and a devilish body finally signed her name on the actor's contract.

Although Hollywood vases are not difficult to find, there are not many conditions like Jessica Alba, otherwise with her bad acting skills, it would be difficult to almost become a second-tier actress like she once did.

Talent is sometimes a scarce resource.

Another point is that in the case of serious whitening of the main actors of the crew, a Latino actor with a heavy enough role can also reduce some criticism for the crew.

Murphy has been in a break room at the back of the press room, and Harvey Weinstein has brought in a heavyweight this time.

"Director Stanton," said a typical Latina walking across from him, probably in his forties, "I was very impressed with your first two films, and I'm sure you won't disappoint this time." ”

"Call me Murphy." Murphy smiled and shook his hand, and the man said, "Call me Ive." ”

Murphy nodded, his tone full of confidence, "Ivey, your investment will not fail!" ”

Ivy Nivohaha laughed, looking very admiring of him.

This is the suitor of Purple Zhang, not only a Jewish, but also an Israeli with American nationality, Murphy heard Erica Steinberg talk about him before, Ivy Warren is widely connected, one of the representative figures among Israelis in the United States, has a net worth of at least billions of dollars, is a shareholder of Time Warner, and is said to have been a behind-the-scenes supporter of Harvey Weinstein, who has invested in many projects for Miramax.

There's no harm in being nice to someone like that, and Murphy talks to him about the project for a while, and Ivy Nivo is obviously not the kind of investor who doesn't know anything about the film industry, but is also an expert.

In fact, Murphy also received some news that the conflict between the Weinstein brothers and the management of Walt Disney, especially the chairman Michael Eisner, is becoming more and more acute, and it is said that there is an idea of breaking away from the Walt Disney Group, and this rich man from Israel is their potential investor in the future.

After the previous signing ceremony and press conference, the cast returned to the break room, and Ivy Nyvo also left Murphy and Harvey Weinstein behind to chase his goals.

Unlike the other actors who got together to talk and laugh, Jessica Alba came over first to find Murphy.

"You're welcome to the crew."

After that time, Murphy didn't bother with Jessica Alba's negotiations with the crew, Jessica Alba pulled the long hair that drooped in front of her, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity." ”

Since she decided to take over the role and sign an actor contract with ****, she also let go of her concerns about her identity as a youth idol.

Jessica Alba walked away and went to Harvey Weinstein again, and James Franco came together.

"Murphy, your second spring has arrived!" Jonah Hill winked eyes at him.

James Franco looked at Jessica Alba not far away and said, "Pretty is beautiful, but the skin is not white enough." ”

"Well, I don't like the genre," Seth Rogan nodded, "I think Jessica Simpson is prettier!" ”

Robert Downey Jr. clasped his hands to his chest and asked seriously, "Murphy, are you interested in her?" ”

"What's the point?" Murphy shook his head without even thinking about it, "Don't you think she's too sweet?" Not my favorite type......"

Some things are hard to say, Jessica Alba is indeed beautiful, and she looks like a standard silly white sweet, but just like before, Murphy admires her appearance, but only admires it, and who would really treat a person like Jessica Alba as a silly white sweet?

After the press conference, the crew's preparations continued, and Murphy and Philip Raschel and Helena Espora walked around several small towns near the suburbs of Los Angeles in search of suitable locations with few shots, returned to Los Angeles, and gathered all the actors together to have the necessary character exchanges with Frank Miller.

On the other hand, under the leadership of Ivey Nivo, Miramax took the lead in reaching a pre-sale agreement with an Israeli film distribution company, and then more overseas distributors also signed pre-sale agreements.

At the same time, the special effects of the film are also being produced, especially the background effects that replace the green screen, which have already started before the shooting, and one of the studios under the digital domain and two other special effects studios will work together to provide sufficient technical support for the special effects of the film.

From mid-October to the end of December, after more than two months of preparation, the preparation work was gradually ready, and when the dawn of 2003 arrived, the preparation for "Sin City" was nearing completion.

"This is the set? Why is it so rundown? ”

Sitting on the top of the battery car, a little blonde girl kept looking around, many parts of the Disney studio were in disrepair, and it really didn't look very good, "It's not as good as our farmhouse in the countryside." ”

Along the way, David Robbie listened to his sister's complaints, "Maggie, are you here to travel, or are you here to complain?" ”

"Well, it's not easy for me to convince Mom and Dad to come here on vacation," Margaret Robbie said, gesturing to the dirty studios around the road, "Are you going to let me see this?" ”

"Don't you want to watch a movie?" David Robbie is also quite helpless about his sister, "A little patience, okay?" ”

"By the way," Margaret asked curiously, "is Carrey on the crew?" ”

"Well...... David Robbie thought for a moment and said, "she didn't participate in the movie, so I guess you won't get to meet her." ”

Margaret scratched her face, "Isn't the director Murphy?" ”

"yes." David Robbie nodded.

"Why didn't she join?" Margaret's face was full of confusion, "I remember she said that she would be involved in every one of Murphy's films. ”

"Don't ask so much, you'll understand some things then," the battery car gradually approached the second studio, and David Robbie pointed there, "This is the studio where the crew is shooting." ”

When the battery car stopped, Margaret gently pressed the seat with her right hand and jumped straight down, and her little leather boots fell to the ground with a crisp clattering sound.

After parking the battery car, David Robbie took Margaret and walked to the studio, telling him as he went, "You have to start filming in a while, and don't talk while shooting." ”

"Don't worry," Margaret waved her hand, "I'm not a talker. ”

Following David Robbie into the studio, Margaret's eyes immediately widened, as if she had come to a green world, on the ceiling, on the ground, and on the surrounding walls, there were all large green curtains, and people were already busy in the green.

"Hi David." The person I met took the initiative to say hello, "Who is this little beauty next to you?" ”

"My sister Maggie ......"

When passing by a room that was supposed to be a makeup artist, a fat man came out of it, and the fat man's face was pasted with some strange things, which looked very rough, ugly, and even a little scary.

"Hey, David, why did you bring someone here? Extras? The fat man asked.

"No," David Robbie said, turning Margaritra over, "this is my sister Maggie, who came from Australia for the summer, and I brought her over to have a look." ”

He then introduced his sister, "Maggie, this is Seth Rogan, one of the main stars of the crew. ”

"Hello, Mr. Logan." Although Margaret was born with a bit of a cowgirl's wildness, she was very polite, "I know you." ”

Seth Rogen looked at the pretty little girl opposite, "You know me?" I don't remember seeing each other. ”

Margaret looked at him, "Aren't you the fat man who died in the secret room?" ”

"That's right! Right! Right! Seth Rogan suddenly realized, "That's me." ”

David Robbie turned to look at his sister, "You peeked at the tape?" ”

"That's the movie you worked on!" Margaret did not avoid her brother's gaze, and her mouth was full of words, "I always want to see what my brother's movie is, right?" ”

Seth Rogan laughed.

"Don't bother you," David Robbie said, looking at the time, "you keep busy, Seth." ”

With that, he picked up Margaret and prepared to leave.

"David, wait." Seth Rogan stopped him and reminded, "You bring someone over, you'd better go and say hello to Murphy." ”

Margaret preemptively said, "We already told Murphy yesterday that I know him. ”

Seth Rogan nodded, waved at the two of them, and returned to the dressing room.

David Robbie took Margaret out of the logistics service area, walked to the shooting location surrounded by green screens, came to the warehouse of the lighting team, and explained, "You stay here first, don't run around." ”

"David," Margaret didn't answer, instead gesturing to a lone man standing on the green screen, "may I go and say hello to Murphy?" (To be continued.) )
