Chapter 26

[broadcast] pay attention to "starting point reading" and get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes. Students who haven't won the red envelopes after Chinese new year can show their skills this time.

The professional knowledge that we have learned tells Jessica chastan that the opening and the ending should be able to echo, one by one, indicating that there is a strong dramatic change in the emotional fluctuations contained in the film.

For example, many professional actors usually only look at the first 10 pages and the last 10 pages of the script to determine whether there are drastic changes and whether they can attract the audience.

Without such a change, scripts are usually thrown into the garbage can in the corner.

After a general review, Jessica chastan didn't see anything from the script that can make people shine. Even if she hasn't formally contacted the film industry, it's not difficult to infer from the script that the future film will attract people with bloody, violent and extremely sensitive themes.

A little girl was murdered by a pedophile, and then another girl came to revenge

This is definitely not what mainstream movies should have.

However, she looked at this studio and Murphy on the opposite side, and realized that with the ability of this studio, it is impossible to produce mainstream films.

The script is not very good, but the structure is very neat, which is in line with the Hollywood production mode. Jessica chastan specially watched the opening and ending of the play. The opening play is that a girl is brutally killed, and the ending is that her friend brutally kills the murderer, which can be said to be in line with the requirements of the opening play and the final play.

From this point of view, the script that the opposite person came up with is quite reliable.

But how likely is such a play to succeed? Especially seeing some bloody scenes above, Jessica chastan unconsciously wants to shake her head.

Sensitive subjects, super large scale, not very high investment

This article flashed from my mind, Jessica chastan naturally came to the conclusion of black B-level film, and it is a black B-level film project with very small success probability.

All of a sudden, Jessica chastan once again raised the idea of whether she had made a wrong choice.

Especially when I look up and see Murphy, who is obviously younger than myself, there is no persuasion at all.

For a moment, she really wanted to give up, but she gave up when she thought of her salary of $300 a week and her access to film making.

"This is likely to be a failed project..."

Jessica chastan has his own conclusion from the neat but plain script, the crude studio and the unreliable boss, "I'm afraid this studio will close soon, but it's also a rare experience. I can witness the end of a film project and a home appliance film studio with my own eyes, and also accumulate some experience to avoid failure."

She doesn't like the project at all.

Jessica chastan put the script aside, took the contact form and the phone on her desk, and began to contact the hapless applicants.

Without any interference from the opposite voice, Murphy is absorbed in drawing the sub shot draft. This work has just begun, and what is being drawn is also the opening play of the script.

In the absence of sufficient funds, coupled with the relatively simple script and cast, as well as some weak story, in order to make the final film attractive, we must use some special means.

Especially in the opening play of the film, the role of the opening play is very important, not only to examine and approve the tone, mood and style of the film, but also to introduce the main characters, and show the audience the pre history of the main characters.

But the most important thing is to "bind" the audience to their seats and feel that "this is a good film!"

Murphy admits that the theme and scale of the film are somewhat large and tend to be dark, but he has only $300000 investment, which is the simplest and most effective way for a small cost film to succeed.

With his current ability, he can't make "electric saw" with 300000 US dollars, let alone make a big literary film.

He is just a novice, relatively simple film is the first choice.

At about eleven o'clock, Murphy put down her brush. Opposite Jessica chastan closed the file and said, "I contacted all the people on the list, and six of them were very interested in the position."

She looked down at the record she had made. "Two of the six were lighters, a set artist, two makeup artists and a prop artist."

Murphy nodded, raised her arm, and gently rubbed her forehead. Her head was aching again. This is an old problem for more than a year. It can also be said to be the sequela of this special experience.

"Have you made an appointment for the interview?" He asked.

"It's an appointment." Jessica chastan pushed a schedule to Murphy, "from 1:30 p.m."

As a student who has just left school, her mind is not very complicated. She specially reminds us that "two of the six are interns who have not graduated."

"I see." Murphy picked up the watch, stood up and said, "that's all for the morning, Jesse. You go to lunch."Just as Jessica chastan breathed a sigh of relief, Murphy said, "after lunch, hurry to the USC film school and the California Academy of the arts and put up all the posters."

After packing up, Jessica chastan carried her to the outside. After turning her head, she turned her mouth unnaturally. Obviously, she had some opinions on doing this kind of work.

Some things, Murphy can see, but did not say much, now in the initial stage, it is normal to encounter any difficulties.

After a simple lunch, Murphy went back to the house to take a nap. Before 1:30, Murphy arrived at the Milton coffee shop in old Chinatown. He was still in the previous position and soon waited for the first person to interview.

"My name is Paul Wilson."

This is a shy looking young man, sitting opposite Murphy, with a slightly shy smile, "I'd like to apply for your company's set master."

Murphy glanced at his resume and asked, "haven't you graduated yet?"

"No Paul Wilson first shook his head, and then said, "but I have experience in this field. I participated in the shooting of two experimental films in the college, where I worked as a set designer and a lighting engineer. I think I am very suitable for this industry, and I also want to make some achievements in film."

With that, he quickly took his backpack, took out a video tape from it and put it on the coffee table. "This is the video of the experimental film."

"You're more experienced than many of the students I've met."

Looking at the young man opposite, Murphy said seriously, "but the experimental film is different from the movie. Why should I use you?"

Paul Wilson scratched his head and didn't seem to know what to say.

Murphy stares at him and says, "Stanton Studios is a very professional film production company, providing staff with very promising jobs."

Of course, this kind of empty talk is not very convincing.

"I don't know if you've seen the most influential documentary recently called" Sin City "

It has to be said that this documentary has created a certain popularity in Los Angeles because of its theme. When Murphy saw the young man on the opposite side nodding his head, he showed a confident smile. "This documentary is co produced by Stanton studio and channel 6 of fox Los Angeles local station. If you look carefully, you can see these, and I..."

He pointed to himself, "the deputy director of sin city."

As for the fact that Stanton's studio and himself are just nominal, Murphy will not tell anyone anything.

With his current relationship with Carla Firth, the actual director of the documentary, the TV station will not disclose this.

Paul Wilson's eyes lit up.

"You don't have work experience."

But I really appreciate young people with lofty goals, and Stanton studio is willing to provide these young people with contact and real opportunities to enter the film industry

Murphy deliberately opened his hand and said, "it's not a formal position, but this opportunity to really participate in film production is very rare in Hollywood. Stanton studio is not shooting commercials, but real movies!"

Paul Wilson has unconsciously nodded his head.

"Mr. Wilson..." Murphy deliberately pointed to his resume, "I can see a lot of your special points from it. I think you are a talent. What you lack now is experience. If you want, I can reserve an intern position for you in the film project to be prepared and the production team to be set up. You can get in touch with those professionals who have actually made films and change as soon as possible We have to grow up. "

Although there is no salary position, it's hard for interns to participate in a real film production. Paul Wilson almost didn't think about it, so he kept nodding, "I'm willing, I'm willing to do this job!"

After finishing the internship, Murphy explained that he would sign a formal internship contract another day and send Paul Wilson away with his eyes.

He likes such free employees best.

It's true that the other side has no experience, but it won't be a problem to do some chores.

After that, Murphy only needed to meet five interns, but he didn't have time to meet another intern.

In fact, it's not hard to imagine that people who can come to such an unknown project and company for an interview have poor qualifications. For example, these makeup artists, lighting artists and props artists with relevant work experience have no independent work experience at all.

Of course, Murphy is also very clear that with the salary he can provide, he can't hire excellent people.

It's very difficult to start any career with all the available resources. Murphy is no exception. In the evening, he rushed to channel 6 to meet Kara Firth, who just got off work, and met a props designer she introduced.PS. children's shoes, do you still have free appreciation tickets and starting point coins?
