Chapter 393: Zero Talent
"Welcome ......"
As soon as he entered the studio, Murphy saw Jonah Hill coming up to him, "Murphy, Gail, it's great that you guys can come to the crew in time." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Hi, Jonah." Gal Gadot greeted him, and Murphy went over and asked directly, "Did the shooting go well?" ”
"It wasn't too smooth." Jonah Hill shook his head slightly, "The crew has been filming for twelve days, and the filming speed is three days behind the plan, Seth's talent is good, but not as good as you were at the beginning." ”
Murphy shook his head, "Not necessarily. ”
If he were to make a pure comedy movie, he would definitely mess up, and Murphy is self-aware, and he is far inferior to Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill in this regard.
Coming to the vicinity of the set, Seth Rogen was directing the filming, and James Franco and Robert Downey Jr. in front of the camera seemed to be saying something funny, causing the two to laugh directly, and the filming could only be temporarily suspended.
Seth Rogen was busy, and Murphy just went over to say hello to him and walked into the set, which was set up as a luxurious presidential suite, which looked extremely luxurious, but a veteran like him looked at it twice and knew that these were just gold and jade, and most of the things were veritable props.
Robert Downey Jr. and James Franco were talking about the problem that had just arisen, and Murphy didn't bother them, and together with Gal Gadot, led by a staff member, went straight to the dressing room.
After putting on makeup, Murphy also devoted himself to filming, this is still his first official role, and the performance will naturally not be very good.
“cut!” Seth Rogan shouted a halt and shouted directly to Murphy who was in a daze on the set, "Expression! Murphy, you have a look on your face. ”
Murphy raised his hand to the director's monitor, "Give me five minutes, I'll find a feeling." ”
Just after five minutes, filming restarted, Murphy didn't find a feeling at all, I have to say that the difference between a director and an actor is really big, watching an actor's performance from the camera lens and giving targeted guidance is one thing, and it's another thing entirely.
"Stop! Murphy, you're out of the right place! ”
This first shot became a difficulty, and Murphy kept making mistakes.
"You're so stiff! Be natural. ”
"Don't get in the way of James's face, we need him to be handsome!"
This cameo performance was not as easy as expected, and after a dozen NGs, Seth Rogan barely shouted through, compared to Murphy, a shot of Gal Gadot's appearance below was only shot twice and was declared complete.
"Talent, talent!" Robert Downey Jr. patted Murphy on the shoulder and shook his head, "Your talent as an actor is basically zero!" ”
Finally seized the opportunity to hit Murphy, where would these friends easily let go, James Franco also came over and said, "It's a negative number at all." ”
Murphy is too lazy to argue, justifying will only make these guys more excited, Seth Rogan has already communicated with him just now, and will make some changes to the groom's setting to make it easier for him to act.
This kind of comedy doesn't need to dig deep into the characters, and it is impossible to shoot repeatedly for an actor, especially since Murphy himself doesn't have so much time, and "Man of Steel" still has a lot of post-production work waiting for him.
To put it simply, during the filming of this film, the roles were clearly divided, Jonah Hill was responsible for selling ass, James Franco was responsible for playing handsome, Seth Rogan was responsible for selling cute, Robert Downey Jr. was responsible for selling mouth, and Murphy was a natural nerd.
Murphy is a cameo and doesn't have many scenes, and Gal Gadot has even less, she only stayed on the set for two days before completing her role and returning to school.
According to the plan, Murphy's scenes ended in a total of five days, but his acting skills were so average that NG's situation was far higher than expected, and he had to add it to a week, and he also had to go to Las Vegas with the crew.
"A real tiger?"
In a manor rented by the Las Vegas crew, Murphy heard a faint roar and asked, "Did you really get a tiger?" ”
"Rented from the circus." Seth Rogan pointed to a van truck not far away, "It's not expensive to rent, it's cheaper than using CGI." ”
Murphy nodded slightly, "Let's go over and have a look." ”
Walking up to the truck, Murphy saw a sturdy black man, who he certainly recognized as Michael Tyson, and Seth Rogan explained, "Of all the sports stars he came into contact with, he was the most famous and offered the lowest price." ”
Michael Tyson is no longer the Michael Tyson of his time as a boxing champion, and like most black sports stars, retirement is also the beginning of bankruptcy.
Murphy had no interest in saying hello, walked to the iron fence on the side of the truck, looked at the tiger inside, and left.
The tiger was then added to the filming.
Unable to stay in the crew for too long, Murphy soon ushered in his final scene, which was less difficult than the previous filming and more like a pure puppet.
On the top deck of Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas, the crew of "The Hangover" has made all the preparations before filming.
"The one hundred and forty-first one, the eleventh act, begins now."
As the sound of the scene notes sounded on the platform, the shooting officially began.
"Doug!"
"Doug!"
A series of shouts rang out from Robert Downey Jr. and James Franco, and a camera pointed at the iron door at the exit of the platform, and the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and Robert Downey Jr., James Franco, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogun rushed out of it.
"Doug, are you here?"
Jonah Hill, who was running at the back, was a little agitated, and specially found a stone to block the iron door to prevent several people from being locked up on it.
Several people scatter around to look for them, and the camera follows Seth Rogan's trail along the rail, and then Murphy's long legs appear in the shot.
"Guys, Doug is here!"
Seth Rogan pointed at Murphy and turned back to several of the others and shouted, "Doug is here!" ”
Murphy sat on the floor, leaning against a wall, shielding himself from the blazing Las Vegas sun with the only shadow, his hard-line face tanned by the makeup artist, as if he had been exposed to the sun for a whole day.
At Seth Rogen's request, Murphy sat motionless, like a stone sculpture.
Robert Downey Jr., James Franco, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen ran to Murphy's side one after another, and James Franco crouched down and grabbed Murphy's hand and said loudly, "Great, he's okay, we've finally found him!" ”
Murphy raised his head, as if he was really stupid by the scorching sun, and looked at the four people with a blank face.
Robert Downey Jr. dragged him up, "Alright, we don't have time to waste, we have to go now!" ”
"I'm getting married today......" Murphy acted like a fool, this is the best he can do, "I'm getting married today, send me home!" ”
"Don't worry!" James Franco swore and said, "It's all up to us!" ”
“ok!” The assistant director, who temporarily replaced Seth Rogen, said loudly, "Very good, this is over!" ”
Hearing this voice, Murphy breathed a long sigh of relief, beckoned to the rear, and immediately a crew member of the crew brought a water cup, he took it and drank two large sips in a row, which made him feel much better, although it was not really baked by the scorching sun for a day, but the desert climate of Las Vegas is indeed not very pleasant, and it is inevitable that the population will be dry after such a long time.
Several other people were also drinking water, and after a while, Jonah Hill stretched and said to Murphy with regret, "It's a pity, you have to rush back in the afternoon, we are going to go to the casino of Caesar's Palace in the evening, you can't participate." ”
Murphy returned the glass to the staff member, "I wish you all the best of luck losing your panties." ”
He looked at the time, "I won't tell you, I'll remove my makeup." ”
Robert Downey Jr. and James Franco knew that Murphy was going to catch up with a Warner Bros. promotional event in the evening, and they didn't say much, just nodded at him.
Murphy waved his hand to a few of his friends, walked towards the exit, went down to a suite on the top floor that served as a makeshift dressing room, asked the makeup artist to remove his makeup as quickly as possible, simply looked at his belongings, and went downstairs to take the car provided by the hotel, rushed to a nearby helicopter airport, and transferred to a helicopter to fly to Los Angeles.
Murphy simply slept with earplugs in the face of the loud noise of the helicopter, and when he arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, which was holding the event, the dizziness from the sun had completely disappeared, and the whole person was refreshed.
Before entering the hotel, Murphy was stopped by several reporters, and now it was not a formal occasion, and he made a point of talking about the comedy film he had invested in.
"It's really nice to be an actor, it's a completely different feeling from a director."
Faced with a question from a media reporter about his role in a film, Murphy said, "The filming of 'The Hangover' was really enjoyable, the actors were very energetic, and there was such an interesting script. ”
He can be said to be working very hard to promote the film he has invested in, "There is also a baby actor in the crew, and filming with small babies is really pleasant, because the children themselves have a factor that makes people feel happy and warm, as long as you try to stay with the baby all day, you will definitely be able to be happy in your heart." ”
Answering several questions from reporters related to The Hangover, Murphy walked into the hotel's press room, ready to start a new battle. (To be continued.) )
