Chapter 347: A sense of imbalance

The crew's temporary office by the sea in Santa Monica has been plagued by a large number of entertainment agents recently, some of whom can still be found in front of Murphy's office, but are all stopped by Rosa Rodriguez, who acts as a temporary director's assistant.

Since the official establishment of the project, quite a few people who have been in a relationship with each other have wanted to squeeze into the crew and find a place.

There were even people who came to him in the name of Gal Gadot's distant relatives.

This is very common in Hollywood, and human relationships are unavoidable, and the best thing to do is to avoid them, so Murphy specially brought in Rosa Rodriguez, who is particularly heavy tonnage, to come to see the door.

Of course, this is only for outsiders.

As the head of the lighting team, David Robbie could easily meet Murphy, but this time he came not for work.

"Something?" Murphy sat behind his desk and looked at David Robbie, who wanted to talk and stopped, "David, sit casually and talk straight about something." ā€

In his team, David Robbie may not be the most capable, but he is a relatively honest person, on a par with Seth Rogan.

David Robbie pulled out the chair across from the desk, sat down, and said, "Is that so, Murphy, isn't the crew hiring a lot of actors?" ā€

"yes." Murphy nodded, roughly understanding his intentions, and said with a smile, "Do you have someone to recommend?" Just say. ā€

In terms of using practice instead of raw life, this side is actually very similar to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Murphy is not a person who does not understand the world, especially the main members of his team, and he will at least give a chance to audition for the recommended candidates.

"Is someone going to recommend......," David Robbie scratched his head embarrassedly, "My sister took a long leave to come to Los Angeles to study acting, and she has been doing it for a while, but she has no actual experience in acting, can you give her a small role." ā€

There are a lot of background characters in the shooting that only show their faces and have no lines, and there is not much difference who they use, and there is nothing difficult about this kind of thing.

Murphy didn't even think about it, "You take her to Seth Rogan." ā€

"Okay." David Robbie stood up, "Thank you, Murphy. ā€

"You're so polite." Murphy smiled, frowned slightly, and asked, "Your sister?" Margaret? ā€

He vaguely remembers the blonde girl who rode a pony on the farm, and later played Nancy as a teenager when she was filming "Sin City".

I haven't seen each other for so many years, and I have gradually forgotten the specific appearance of the other party.

David Robbie saw that Murphy remembered his sister, and hurriedly said, "It's her, it's Margaret." ā€

Anyway, this is someone who knows, Murphy thought for a moment, and then said, "Tell Seth to find a role for Margaret to shine." ā€

With that said, he got back to work, and David Robbie happily went to Seth Rogan.

The preparation of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" is moving forward step by step according to the plan, and the most important work at this stage is casting, like David Robbie, Murphy has used candidates recommended by friends or acquaintances in many roles, such as Joffrey Baratheon, the crew has confirmed that Dave Franco will play the role, he is James Franco's younger brother.

Although a bit older, Dave Franco was born with a baby face, and with proper makeup, it's not much of a problem.

Another confirmed candidate is Sean Bean, the British actor who auditioned for the crew without thinking about it for long, and he is also one of the biggest names in the future crew.

Of course, his salary is also expensive, with a single episode reaching $400,000.

This is a normal market situation, the craze of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has not subsided, and Boromir has also been sought after by many people, and it can now be said that Sean Bing has been at his peak since becoming an actor.

Another important male role, Jon Snow, Murphy has identified a rookie actor under CAA who is not well-known through a wide range of auditions.

All things being equal, Murphy will of course give preference to 'his own people'.

All of Hollywood is doing this, and there's no doubt about that.

In terms of the two most important female roles, Lina Heidi has not yet starred in "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", and her qualifications and fame are limited, and the crew did not spend much effort and cost to get the British actor.

And Daenerys Targaryen's candidate, Murphy also left it to acquaintances.

In line with the idea of appealing to a male audience as much as possible and using the familiar rather than the raw one, coupled with the positive response of the actor himself, Murphy decided that Jessica Alba would play the role after two auditions.

Although Daenerys Targaryen in the original book is petite and exquisite, Jessica Alba herself is not particularly tall, let alone Charlize Theron, who looks quite burly, slender and beautiful, and has a beautiful and sexy appearance, which is also very suitable for the requirements of this role, and George Martin has no objection.

As for acting, that's not a problem, acting on a small screen doesn't require explosiveness like in movies, Jessica Alba is more than enough to deal with, and this role doesn't need to be very good acting either.

Having said that, in Murphy's few impressions, the former Daenerys Targaryen may not have better acting skills than Jessica Alba.

In addition to the actors and other aspects of preparation, Murphy also worked with George Martin to make final changes to the script, and the main changes were basically from one character, namely Daenerys Targaryen.

The main plot about her will not change, and the character settings are also based on the original book, what Murphy wants to change is that Daenerys Targaryen is too obvious to hang up.

In communication with George Martin, Murphy learns that this is one of his favorite characters, and that there is some partiality in the creation of the creation, and compared to the aura of the protagonist that is almost invisible to other main characters, Daenerys Targaryen can be described as frequent.

The other protagonists have been tragic and bad luck from the beginning, there is no worst only worse, and they have never been lucky, and Daenerys Targaryen compared to them, life is like riding a rocket, if she is a little unlucky sometimes, then the plot will help her open a bigger hook to compensate her.

Compared to the other protagonists, Daenerys Targaryen's line tends to make people feel quite unbalanced.

Of course, Murphy is mainly responsible for submitting comments and reviewing, and specific revisions will still respect the opinions of George Martin, the original author.

If this series can be on the right track, there is still a long way to go, and there is no need to have too many conflicts with the original author, which is harmful and unhelpful, and many times compromise can often achieve better results.

George Martin isn't the stubborn guy either, and has appropriately adopted some of Murphy's advice that would make Daenerys Targaryen's path a little harder.

Over time, most of the main cast members were basically determined, except for Sean Bean and Jessica Alba, Murphy did not use other well-known actors, and the cast was mostly dominated by the kind of candidates who had been in the mix for many years and did not become famous, so that they could save money on the film and have more money to invest in filming and production.

After several successive drama meetings, Murphy also confirmed that the crew would be divided into three crews, one large, two and small, after the initial run-in, and he would give Paul Wilson and Seth Rogan the right to shoot alone.

The crew's preparations in North America are also nearing completion, and after finishing the final work, Murphy is ready to lead the entire crew to fly across the Atlantic Ocean to Northern Ireland on the other side.

Due to Murphy's continuous success, many people and companies in Hollywood are paying attention to his dynamics, and when they heard that he threw away the movie and chose to direct and produce a very unpopular fantasy TV series, most people were watching from the sidelines, waiting for this new Hollywood director who does not know the height of the sky to plant a big heel.

"Do you think he'll succeed?"

In a luxurious office on the top floor of the Warner Tower in Burbank, Diego Harris looked across from the new CEO, Bruce Rosenbloom, and said, "There has never been a precedent for a fantasy TV series to succeed." ā€

He was extremely puzzled, "Why did he choose this kind of theme?" ā€

"This person's thinking is always different from that of ordinary people." Bruce Rosenblum clasped his hands to his chest, "Can you have imagined that after being rejected by Warner and DC, he would choose a marginalized comic book character like Deadpool?" Can you imagine that Deadpool could end up selling $300 million in North America? ā€

Diego Harris shook his head, "I can't think about it. ā€

Bruce Rosenblum added, "And yes. Can you imagine that after "Deadpool", he went to direct "Gone Girl" and mocked all the values that Hollywood enshrined as the golden rule, and under normal circumstances, such a film would definitely be boycotted by the audience, and the result would be ......"

He spread his hands, ""Gone Girl" sold more than 220 million dollars in North America, proving to us that the so-called value orientation of Hollywood movies can also be broken. ā€

"Such a person......" Bruce Rosenblum raised his voice slightly, "even if he chooses an unpopular subject matter and the value orientation of the film is anti-mainstream, I think he has a high chance of success." ā€

Diego Harris thought for a moment and nodded vigorously.

"You didn't even read the plan in the first place." Bruce Rosenblum continued, "Only I've skimmed through it, and I still think that Murphy Stanton is the one who can lead DC superhero movies out of the slump and back to glory! ā€

The fiasco of "Superman Returns" gave him the opportunity to sit on the throne of Warner Bros. CEO, and the DC comic book movie ruined Bruce Berman's future, which is also related to his future and fate.

"What are we going to do next?" Diego Harris asked.

Bruce Rosenblum said calmly, "I'll go to Murphy Stanton and talk to him again." (To be continued.) )
