As the representative of the American AIA insurance company on the crew, Kevin Pulis's most important job is to ensure that the filming can be completed as planned, but the first thing that started the filming, Murphy filmed all morning, continued in the afternoon, and now has to shoot again, which has greatly exceeded the time set by the plan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The crew was preparing for a reshoot, and he quietly found Murphy.

Kevin Pulis is certainly not a newcomer to this position, and no insurance company will use such a position to train a newcomer.

Therefore, he pays attention to ways and methods.

While Murphy was holding a cup of coffee, Kevin Pulis leaned over and said, "Director, how long will this one be filmed?" ”

"It depends." Murphy turned his head to look at him, "This one is important. ”

"I know." Kevin Pritz still reminded in a low voice, "It's out of schedule." ”

"Don't worry." Murphy put down his coffee cup, "We've got a hundred days to shoot, that's enough." ”

Unlike the short and fast filming method of "Deadpool", he set aside a hundred days of filming time for "Gone Girl".

It took two more shots before Murphy shouted through, but after setting the tone of the shoot and James Franco and Charlize Theron gradually found their groove, the rest of the shoot went smoothly, and by the time the evening was over, all the planned shoots for today were complete.

As Murphy grew older and gained more experience, he became more and more proficient in lens design and shooting.

The crew's day's work is done, but Murphy is not off work, it's not the weekend, Gal Gadot is at school, and there is no one to go home, so it is better to stay here and continue to work.

With a well-planned plan, filming for "Gone Girl" went according to plan, and Murphy was able to distract himself from reviewing the story outline of George Martin's Game of Thrones script.

It is impossible for a TV series to be filmed exactly along the lines of the novel, unless the heads of the production company are collectively watered, not to mention that Murphy thinks so, even George Martin, the original author who has written a Hollywood screenplay, knows this.

The story of the script has been somewhat changed compared to the original book, which is more compact and suitable for filming, and the story of course revolves around those families.

The office door was pushed open from the outside, and Carla Firth walked in, "Why haven't you left yet?" ”

Murphy shrugged, "There's nothing to do when you go back." ”

Carla Fesse pulled up a chair, sat across from his desk, and said, "One of the heads of the company's public relations department just called me and thought that the anti-family and anti-marriage tendencies of our film were too obvious, and that the PR campaign in the future awards season would be more difficult. ”

"It's okay." Murphy closed the outline of the script and said unconcernedly, "We are not a mainstream commercial film, and the negative impact in this regard will be much smaller." ”

If there is no negative impact on such direct ridicule, it is absolutely impossible, but Hollywood's so-called mainstream values of movies are more applicable to commercial productions than to films with a very strong personal style.

"If I were shooting a commercial blockbuster, I wouldn't have chosen such a theme." Murphy stood up, went to the coffee machine, and took a cup of coffee for himself and Carla Firth, "but it would be in line with the values of a normal Hollywood movie." ”

Carla Firth took the coffee from Murphy and asked suspiciously, "For example?" ”

"The most typical situation is that the background of the male protagonist is that the husband and wife divorce, the child and the mother, the mother remarries, the film begins, and finally the third party dies - even if he saves the life of the protagonist's family several times - the husband and wife will be reunited."

Murphy took a sip of coffee and said as he paced, "If the man remarries, the third party of the woman will not die, but she will quit in shame." ”

"Although the United States is a seemingly diverse country, its mainstream values have always been ****." Murphy continued, "The status of the family is incomparably high, and a good man must defend his family and country, love for his wife and children, for the people, and for the country, and be loyal, industrious, optimistic, and have a firm faith. ”

Carla Firth almost squirted the coffee that went into her mouth, "Why haven't I seen it on you?" ”

She sighed and said, "A film, no matter how avant-garde it is, how beautiful it is in Cannes, Berlin and Venice, and how much 'negative energy' it has at the Oscars. ”

"Bingo!" Murphy snapped his fingers, "So, the Oscars, especially the Oscars in the last ten years, have always been only the right ones, not the good ones." ”

"Our film isn't right." Carla Firth said.

"Our goal is not to win an Oscar!" Murphy seemed to be very unconcerned, "It's impossible for this film to win a golden man, I just want to use this awards season to tell those old men that I am not a pure commercial film director, but a stylized director, don't let them be too prejudiced against me, so as to prepare for the future." ”

The theme of this film is indeed not very flattering to the Oscar judges, but it is not so serious, after all, the hero and heroine are more about controlling each other than destroying other people's families.

In Hollywood movies, destroying other people's families is really hated by God, although there have been countless cases of such family destruction in Hollywood in reality, but it is promoted in the movie, it is easy to hit the street with word of mouth and box office, even if he is as handsome as Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Dawson still has to fart in the end.

And Murphy has seen part of the script of "Superman Returns" being produced by Warner Bros. from the channels of CAA, and Brian Singh, who has filmed "The Usual Suspect", does not dare to violate this rule in a commercial blockbuster.

The famous green tea in the DC world, Louis Lane, has an ambiguous relationship with Superman's ontology and transformation state, and then he has a husband, and the child is born with Superman, because he is mixed-race, so he has to take a bunch of pills for a long time, and the husband actually realized it quickly, but in order to maintain the child's immature heart and the integrity of the family, he is determined to continue to be a father silently......

In the end, the child drew a picture of a family of three plus Superman.

Putting down the coffee cup, Murphy continues this boring topic, both as a relaxation after work and as a reminder of the minefield of future film production.

"This tends to trickle down to many aspects of mainstream commercial films." He also said, "For example, in youth horror movies, the earliest bento must be girls with disorderly private lives, and in the end, the ultimate counter-kills are all kind girls with discipline." ”

"Seems ......" Carla Firth thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "It seems like it is." ”

She is extremely smart, and immediately connected to social reality from the film, "Family and marriage are also valued by society, no matter how debauched you are before you get married, it's okay, but once you get married, you have to take responsibility." Splitting legs or something is also very eye-catching in real society, such as presidential candidates must show that they have a perfect family, and mothers and children can be favored by voters. ”

Murphy laughed, "So Hillary, who is interested in the presidency, has never divorced Zipperton." ”

The two laughed for a while, anyway, they didn't have to worry about the negative impact of this kind of private joke circulating, and they made a few more remarks about the big names in Washington, and the topic returned to the movie.

"Actually, I've always been a little worried about this film." Carla Firth said suddenly.

Murphy was a little confused, "Because of what you just said?" ”

"That's part of it." Carla Firth did not hide it, and said directly, "In blockbuster films, there is always a motivated male protagonist, but our male protagonist is a waste. ”

"So you're worried about this." Murphy deliberately joked, "Although I am poor, rough and unmotivated, I know that I am a good man." Real trash has good jobs, is considerate, handsome, and wears formal attire. My woman is just blind and a hypocrite, and only I know who the real loser is......"

"You ......," Carla Firth laughed as she pointed at him.

Murphy spread his hands and said, "Of course, it is impossible to succeed with such a person as the leading actor, but Nick Dunn is not such a person, after Amy left, he went from being a mess to self-salvation, and then to the declaration in the TV interview, he has progressed to Nick Dunn that Amy wants to see, and he is working hard." ”

Carla Firth rolled her eyes, "Don't say the jokes, I'm serious. ”

Although she has been fully supportive of Murphy since she knew that she had this script, the worry in her heart has indeed always been there.

It's okay to say that the awards season is okay, after all, there are too many factors that affect the awards, but can such an anti-mainstream film really be a box office hit?

"There is no shortage of entertainment elements in this film, and there are many scenes that the audience likes to see."

Seeing Carla Firth nodding, Murphy said seriously, "Don't forget our special publicity plan. Even if these are excluded, there are actually many favorable factors. ”

"The mainstream values of Hollywood-style movies are indeed recognized by the vast majority of audiences, but are they really untouchable?"

Murphy gave the answer without Carla Firth answering, "After so many years of Hollywood-style mainstream films, this kind of old plot and old stalk movies have at most just reached the general level of Hollywood production lines." This kind of Hollywood-style main theme plot makes people feel very bored after watching too much, it is a deduction of points, and it is a manifestation of the screenwriter's laziness, who wants to please the audience and has no good ideas. If there are no other plus points in the movie, the standard of this kind of film is destined to be no higher than mediocrity. ”

Murphy said confidently, "And what about our films? It will bring a fresh and completely different movie-watching stimulation to the audience group that has been hypnotized to numb by this mode! ”

"You're ignoring another point!" Murphy cocked up a finger, "Our film has a naturally existing audience, and it will resonate with them!" (To be continued.) )
