"Kerry, I'm sorry to tell you."

After listening to Carey Mulligan's description with a sob, Mike sighed, his tone full of sincerity, "It was my client who got this heroine." ”

Kerry Mulligan immediately looked over with wide eyes.

Mike had already figured out what to do, "You know her, Murphy's former assistant, Jessica Chastain. She is now my contracted client. ”

"She?" Carey Mulligan's gloomy face darkened, "You ......"

Seemingly not seeing Carey Mulligan's face and not hearing her words, Mike said to himself, "Carrey, don't complain about this kind of thing, and don't go to Murphy, Jesse has served him as a ...... for a long time"

He deliberately accentuated the words that followed, "Personal assistant, isn't it normal for him to choose Jesse to give up on the others?" ”

The words immediately diverted Kerry Mulligan's attention, and she turned her head and silently looked into the distance.

"That's how Hollywood is." "Everyone chooses someone who is close to them." ”

Carey Mulligan sat in the passenger seat, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a long moment, he said, "Mike, can you send me to Santa Monica?" ”

"Absolutely." Mike nodded without hesitation, and if memory serves, Murphy Stanton's new home is there.

Among the agents who walked out of the mailroom together, he was originally the most optimistic one, and his ability was also recognized by the company and everyone, otherwise Bill Rothes would not have asked him to see potential customers at that time, but recently they have changed.

He knew what Bill Rothes was based on to get to where he is now.

These may not be able to drag down Murphy Stanton, they will inevitably affect him, and he doesn't need to do anything.

Dropping off Carey Mulligan in Santa Monica's Valley, Mike was in a good mood as he drove toward Century City.

When he opened the door and returned home, Kerry Mulligan walked into the living room of the main building, kicked off the sneakers on his feet, and saw Murphy's picture frame placed on the hallway.

Her mobile phone rang suddenly, picked it up and looked at it, it was the agent Bill Rossis, after connecting it, she heard a few words from there, and her gloomy face did not improve in the slightest, "Just for these inexplicable things?" Liz is my best friend! How can you do that? ”

Carey Mulligan's voice was raised again, "Don't tell me what real Hollywood looks like!" I can see it myself! I'm not blind! ”

Hanging up the phone, she casually put the phone on the ground again.

Throwing himself down on the long sofa, Kerry Mulligan's face was buried in a pillow, tears kept flowing, only to feel that he had been greatly wronged, and he didn't know how to explain to Elizabeth Banks.

Liz was so good to her, although she only persuaded a few words when she had a conflict with Keira Knightley before, but after that day, she did not hesitate to stand by her side and defend her in everything.

They were so good to her good friend, to such a good person!

After receiving a call from Bill Rosith, Murphy went straight home, and when he walked into the small building, he saw Carey Mulligan, who was lying on the sofa and sobbing, and went over to sit next to him.

"Still angry?" Murphy caressed her shoulder.

Carey Mulligan looked up, his face already glazed, but he glared angrily, "I don't want to talk to you!" ”

"Hey, dear." Murphy had no experience in dealing with this situation at all, so he had to reassure, "Don't be angry, okay?" I didn't mean to drive you away, and the circumstances were not suitable for talking about it. ”

How could a woman at such a time listen to these reasonable explanations, Carey Mulligan rolled over and sat up, no longer tears on her face, just gloomy blackening.

Murphy said patiently, "Did Bill call you?" ”

Kerry Murrayne still glared at him and didn't speak at all.

"It's ...... for me to do that"

"Good for me?" Carey Mulligan interrupted Murphy, "People all over the world are for my good!" Julian Fellowes is like that! That's how my parents are! So are you! ”

With that, she grabbed the pillow and threw it at Murphy, turned around and ran to the side of the stairs, and went straight upstairs.

When Murphy picked up the pillow on the floor, there was a loud slamming sound from upstairs, a loud bang, that seemed to collapse the entire building.

Just as he wanted to go upstairs to explain a few more words, Murphy saw the phone still on the carpet, and when he picked it up, he found that there was something else near the coffee table.

The phone was placed on the coffee table, and he bent down to pick up the picture frame, and Murphy turned it over and looked at it, the picture frame was not broken, but the glass on the outside was cracked by a large crack, which passed through him in the photo and split him into two parts.

"Bang! Bang! ”

There was a commotion upstairs, and there was the sound of falling things, and Murphy sighed, put the picture frame away, picked up his phone, and walked towards the stairs.

This is the first time he has really had a conflict with Kerry Mulligan since his relationship, at the beginning, Murphy was still able to persuade patiently, and later he was also inspired by Kerry Mulligan, his experience on both sides of the strait combined is only in his early twenties, and he is also young and vigorous, and from his and Bill Rothes's point of view, Kerry Mulligan is more like being vexatious.

In the days that followed, Carey Mulligan came home and locked himself in the master bedroom and didn't talk to him, and Murphy simply moved into a bedroom in the annex for the time being, intending to wait for Kerry Mulligan to calm down before talking.

But the girl's rebellion was just as Murphy had predicted, and she didn't say a word to him for nearly a week.

At the beginning, Murphy was still creating and looking for opportunities to alleviate conflicts and reconcile, but as time went by, the preparation of "Planet of Terror" became more and more, although there was no need to work part-time, but many things needed to be personally involved by him, the director, and gradually put this matter aside for the time being.

He left Los Angeles with Erica Steinberg, Kim Kleiman, Paul Wilson, Philip Raschel, David Robbie, and Helena Espora to head to a wilderness area on the border between California and Nevada to investigate locations suitable for filming needs.

Completely different from the previous two films, "Terror Planet" has a lot of location shots, and quite a lot of action scenes have to be filmed on location.

The two vans pulled up at the edge of a bridge, and Murphy was the first to get out of the car, walk to the bridge and hold on to the rusty metal guardrail, and look down at the somewhat blackened river, then to the opposite bank, where there was a barbed wire fence, and behind it was a large clearing of typical wilderness, with no end in sight.

"Helen, Filet," Murphy beckoned the two over, pointing to the barbed wire fence, "How about a barbecue restaurant over there?" ”

"There's no problem setting up." Helena Espora said.

Philip Raschel looked up at the dazzling eyes, "The direct sun in the afternoon will affect the long-range framing, making it difficult to grade in the later stage. ”

Murphy nodded, "Fine-tune the plan then, and put the long shot in the morning." ”

All the shots in this film take place in the dark, but the shooting doesn't do that, basically it is shot during the day, and then graded by the Da Vinci palette in Guò.

Erica Steinberg followed, and after a brief discussion with the four of them, they decided that this was the first choice for the barbecue restaurant location.

"What about the town?" Helena Espora asked, "Do we shoot on set up too?" ”

"No, no, no!" Kim Kleiman, who had been standing behind the four people and had not spoken, jumped out, "The cost of setting up the scenery is too high, and it will exceed the budget!" ”

Any proposal that might exceed the budget was the object of his strong opposition.

He stood on the bridge and pointed to the east, "I've been here once before, and there's a small town over there, which is remote and unrenovated all year round, and looks dilapidated......"

Seeing that several people were looking at it, he said, "Murphy, I think that town fits your requirements very well." ”

Before Murphy arrived, representatives of the sponsorship company and one of Erica Steinberg's location producers had visited many places in the neighborhood.

It's better if you don't have to set up a scene, Murphy nodded and walked towards the car, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

The town is located about five miles away, very small, perhaps a small village is more appropriate, Murphy and his party walked around it, made sure it was not bad, and got in touch with the management of the town, they are not like Hollywood movies, people in remote places are always hostile to outsiders, but they are very welcoming to Murphy and his party, and they are also very happy to agree to cooperate with the shooting.

In fact, the situation is not complicated, the crew is not filming here for free, it will definitely give a fee, and so many people eat and drink Lazar, which can also bring some income to this town.

After five days in California and Nevada, Murphy completed all the location shooting, returned to Los Angeles, and in addition to continuing to prepare the film, he also met with the international distributors brought by Harvey Weinstein, after all, some of the subsequent investment in the film came from overseas pre-sales, and it was necessary to give these distributors some confidence.

"Director Stanton, we are very much looking forward to your new work."

A representative of a film company from Israel expressed his enthusiasm, "Saw is a big hit in Israel, and if possible, when Planet Terror is released, I hope you can go to Israel with the crew to promote it." ”

"I hope so, too." Murphy could only respond vaguely.

This is a film invested and distributed by Miramax, whether it will be promoted overseas, and if it will, how it will be formed, it will be determined by Miramax.

Sending off these overseas distributors and giving the crew a Christmas break, the new year has just begun, and Murphy led the crew out of Los Angeles to begin the filming journey. (To be continued.) )
