Chapter 40

Tomorrow will be the third watch of the day, with 2000 words in each chapter, at 9:00, 15:00 and 21:00 respectively. Continue to ask for the recommended ticket.

If you don't do anything practically, you won't find how difficult it is.

When the lights were rearranged, the actors were familiar with the scene again, and the crew was ready, Murphy, the director and photographer, began to make a trial shot. Like last time, when Kerry Mulligan turned his head, he called to stop again.

Everyone in the crew is looking at Murphy. They don't know what he's going to do. Kerry Mulligan, a man with an open mind, is already scratching his ears.

She had been brewing for a long time, but she only did one action and was called to stop. It was hard to avoid depression in her heart.

James - Franco simply find a chair to sit down, he can see clearly, this is completely unreliable director plus another group of unreliable people.

Fortunately, his goal is not to be a character or a movie. Otherwise, he has to go crazy to work with such a group of novices.

He looked into Murphy's eyes, inevitably with a bit of contempt, the so-called director's mouth is beautiful, but in fact, there are many problems.

It's good that Kerry Mulligan doesn't worship him that much.

Compared with the eccentric James Franco, the serious academic Jessica chastan is more professional. After Murphy stops again, she immediately comes to pick up the camera and asks, "what's wrong?"

Murphy did not consider, then blurted out, "Kerry's eyes are not bright enough, not enough God, will weaken the charm of the heroine image."

"What?" Kerry Mulligan obviously heard Murphy's words, pointed to his eyes, just wanted to distinguish a few words, but Murphy raised his hand and interrupted, "Kerry, it's not about you, it's about the light."

The camera lens is different from the human eye. In the eyes of ordinary people, no matter how bright the eyes are, the lens will be much dimmer.

"Eyes light!" Murphy angrily patted his forehead, "how can I forget the light in my eyes?"

He sighed. It's all the trouble of lack of experience.

This is the first positive lens of the heroine Haley. If her eyes are dim, the charm of the whole person will be greatly reduced. It is necessary to have eyes light.

Movies like "fruit candy" can leave a deep impression on the audience through the shining eyes of actresses.

According to Murphy's instructions, lighting engineer Douglas added a Fresnel lens spotlight under the main light, which was specially used to make eye light for Kerry Mulligan.

After half a day's work, Murphy finally achieved the desired light and shadow effect. After a headache, Murphy was a little relieved. There were not many scenes to be shot in the cafe, which was relatively simple. The biggest problem was shooting and lighting.

After adjusting the lighting, Murphy deliberately let Kerry Mulligan face himself. First, he casually took a close-up. In the lens, Kerry Mulligan's eyes are bright and naive, which seems to penetrate into people's heart.

Only a girl who looks innocent, beautiful and lovely can move the criminal's mind and fascinate him, can she?

Just because the lighting is done doesn't mean the crew can run smoothly.

This crew is full of novices and has no experience of cooperation before. Running in is inevitable, especially Kerry Mulligan. Like all new actors, it is impossible to adapt to film shooting immediately.

After the re start of the trial shooting, Murphy's shooting of her background and the moment of looking back were quite smooth, but when James Franco pushed the door into the cafe and came to say hello, the expression on her face and the tone of her voice changed.

As before, she was so emotional that even coffee shop owner Lynch could see that she hated people who came to say hello.

It's impossible to shoot like this. Haley, played by Kerry Mulligan, should show her innocent and lovely side to seduce Jeff.

"Stop!" Murphy stopped the whole crew, "half an hour off."

He had been busy with the lighting problem for so long before, so he needed to take a breath. He drank a cup of cold coffee and called Kerry Mulligan out of the cafe alone.

"Sorry, Murphy..."

Standing in front of the cafe, Kerry Mulligan seemed to have made a mistake. "It's all my fault. I'm not good enough."

For people like Kerry Mulligan, blame is counterproductive. Instead, Murphy asks, "is James so annoying?"

Before rehearsal, Kerry Mulligan had been able to control his emotion towards James Franco, and there was nothing special in the morning. Why did it suddenly become like this again?

"Lunch..." Kerry Mulligan drooped. "He said a lot of nasty things."

She then looked up. "Murphy, I really don't like him. When we rehearse, he is always trying to please me, obviously with an intention. "

"Oh?" Murphy looks at her. Kerry Mulligan is naive and rebellious, but not stupid.

"I think I think James Franco is like... " She looked up at Murphy, saw Murphy give an encouraging smile, no longer scruple, said directly, "I think he's like Jeff in the script.""So..." Murphy was not surprised. Instead, he raised his chin and began to think. Kerry Mulligan looked at him eagerly. His bright eyes flickered. It seemed that he was waiting for Murphy to replace the annoying guy for her. But after a while, Murphy said, "James is really like Jeff in the script."

"What?" Kerry Mulligan's eyes widened. "Is that true?"

She was just inexperienced, not stupid, and a little alarmed.

"Calm down, Kerry." Since Murphy said that, he naturally had a corresponding way to remind him, "you forget that Haley in the script is facing Jeff..."

"And I'm facing James Franco..." Under the comfort of Murphy's eyes, Kerry Mulligan gradually calmed down, with a look of thinking in his bright eyes, "a guy more timid than Jeff."

Murphy looked at her, eyes full of encouragement, "we deal with James Franco, should be very interesting."

"Yes Kerry Mulligan almost cried, quickly covered his mouth, and through the transparent glass door, carefully looked at James Franco inside, then said in a low voice, "I can use Haley's way to deal with him!"

"Just give him a lesson." A few drops of sweat appeared on Murphy's forehead.

But he didn't stop Kerry Mulligan. This was his deliberate provocation, and this is not a movie. I believe that the girl opposite will not do too much. At most, it will embarrass Fran.

But the benefits are obvious. In the face of James Franco and his star Jeff, Kerry Mulligan only needs to perform in his own way, which can undoubtedly reduce the difficulty of the performance.

Back at the cafe, Kerry Mulligan's performance in the shooting is completely like a different person. Facing Jeff, played by James Franco, she fully shows a girl's innocent, lovely, childish and sexy side, even causing James Franco to be stunned in the trial shooting

Looking at Kerry Mulligan in a red sweater, just like little red riding hood, with his lovely appearance and manner, James Franco almost couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart for a moment. Fortunately, he has grown up and played similar games several times before. Although he has never met such a fascinating type, he can also control himself.

“cut！” James Franco is still in a daze, but Murphy stops and thumbs up to the two actors, "this one's over. Jim, Kerry, you did a great job

This was originally a trial shot, but the effect exceeded Murphy's expectation, especially James Franco's stupefaction in the face of Kerry Mulligan, which vividly showed his urgent heart hidden under the elegant appearance.

With James Franco's current acting level, it is estimated that it is difficult to show the same performance.

"This is the real performance!" Murphy murmured to himself, "if these two people can perform naturally, the effect will be the best."

Just like Robert Downey Jr. to iron man, when actors perform best, their roles are often very similar to themselves in reality.

The occasional success can't cover up the problems existing in the cast of hard candy. The subsequent shooting has entered a cycle of making mistakes, making mistakes, and making mistakes again. Murphy's own inexperience is the main reason, while other people's ability is on the other hand.

After three days, the coffee shop didn't finish shooting a few minutes' play. Even Murphy could only pass one play a day. He could see clearly. The reason why the people he recruited were cheap was directly proportional to his ability.

Fortunately, he chose a relatively simple film like "fruit candy". Otherwise, if he is a novice director and a group of ordinary crew members go to make a film with a larger investment, he will certainly pit himself to death.

During these three days, Murphy fully realized that watching movies, analyzing movies and studying in the film academy are one thing, while shooting and making movies are another. The distance between the two sides is at least as far as that between Los Angeles and New York.

Despite all the difficulties, Murphy didn't want to give up. Now it's impossible to give up. He has invested more than 100000 dollars. Giving up means that all the investments are useless.

Murphy is determined to stick to it, but it is inevitable that he will be full of depression. There is another person who is as depressed as Murphy, and that is Lynch, the owner of Milton cafe.

When the crew wanted to shoot, Milton Cafe would definitely suspend its business. When he signed the contract with the crew, Lynch thought that such a play could be finished in two days at most, but he didn't notice that there was no time limit for Murphy's contract at all. When it was shot in the next few days, he couldn't help regretting it.

His cafe is not only out of business, but also provides free meals for the crew. All that goes out is money

Fortunately, there are not many scenes in the cafe. Before Lynch's tolerance reaches the bottom line, Murphy finally ends the single digit shooting here and leads the team to San Fernando Valley.
