Chapter 41

There is a chapter at three o'clock today, three o'clock in the afternoon and nine o'clock in the evening.

"Here it is."

Three vans, a slightly worn-out minibus and a used black Ford car were parked in front of a detached house in the northern basin of the San Fernando Valley. Murphy got out of the Ford and said, "get out of the car and we'll live here today."

Jack Watson, the makeup artist, John Douglas, the lighting artist, Mia Sucre, the prop artist, sonny Clegg, the set artist, and three interns, including Paul Wilson, now have a new identity as a stevedore.

Murphy just rented three cars, and didn't plan to hire any more loaders, let alone other crew members. After a greeting, he took off his coat and threw it into the driver's seat of the Ford. He was the first one to go to the back of the van loaded with photographic equipment, opened the back door of the cabinet, and jumped up first.

The director sets an example, and others dare not neglect him. These people are at the bottom of Hollywood, and it's always the characteristic of a small drama group to know how many abilities there are in a position.

Of course, James Franco was not interested in helping. He got out of the minibus and unconsciously went to the rear door of the Ford car. But the window was closed, and bill rosis in it seemed to explain something to Kerry Mulligan.

"Murphy has hired a professional tutor for you. I recommend you..."

As if I didn't see Kerry Mulligan's expression, Bill rosis formularized, "she will be in place tomorrow at the latest. You must keep more than four hours of study time every day, and she will accompany you instead of me in the next few days."

Kerry Mulligan's dissatisfaction was written on his face, "can we not have a tutor?"

From the beginning, she is like a bird out of the cage, free and happy, filming feeling is also very good, this is the life she wants.

Learning? private tutor? Step by step life? Working hard for the university? She's really fed up with this!

Bill rosis took another look at Kerry Mulligan. Instead of saying much, he opened the door and got out of the car. He first glanced at James Franco, who was standing on the other side of the car, and then looked into the distance.

At the end of the line of sight, you can see a bowl of blue water, clear lake water and blue sky, which brings a rare sense of comfort. The weather here is much better than the dry downtown of Los Angeles.

"Hi, Murphy."

Murphy headed for the van and asked, "what can I do for you?"

"Thank you. We can take care of it." Murphy gave him a free hand and waved, "just take care of Kerry."

Carrying the film, Murphy walks into the rental house and enters the living room through the porch. Jessica chastan is standing on the left side of the living room, directing the people to put all kinds of goods into the two rooms serving as temporary storage rooms. The real estate agent named Wayne, who I have seen before, is standing nearby, constantly reminding the crew to be careful not to damage the delicate decoration in the house Repair.

Although most of this independent house is the same as Murphy's last visit, the scenes used for shooting, such as the living room and kitchen, have completely changed their colors. Long before the official shooting, he himself, together with the set designer Sonny Clegg, came here for many times, and also formulated the background style of the set.

Sonny Clayton and two interns from USC have been busy here for a week. With the cooperation of the professional team Wayne got, the living room and other rooms used for shooting have been replaced with brand-new wallpaper, as well as the sofa and the jacket of tables and chairs. They have also been replaced with the color Murphy wanted.

To put it simply, the scene here should meet the needs of Haley and Jeff's opponent's play, and should be symmetrical with their clothing color, so the overall color is mainly gray and red.

A good story is the foundation of a movie, but the importance of visual stimulation, let alone Murphy, who has had professional learning experience, is clear to even ordinary fans.

After unloading the equipment and goods, and seeing off the real estate agent, Murphy asked Jessica chastan to take others upstairs to choose their own rooms. In order to save money, the whole crew will live here for a long time to come.

The house is not so big that it is impossible to have one room for each person. Except for Murphy and the leading roles James Franco and Kerry Mulligan, other people can only live in dormitories.

There is also the problem of eating. With the end of shooting in the coffee shop, the free supply of old Lynch has come to an end. Now Murphy can only take out the money of the crew to pay for this piece of expenses. For him now, the diet of more than a dozen people for at least one month is also a big number.

However, there are no stars in the cast, and the catering doesn't need to be high-grade. Murphy's meal plan is based on relatively cheap food such as hamburgers and pizzas.

As it was afternoon, the sun soon fell below the horizon. After eating a pizza from a fast food restaurant, Murphy went back to his room upstairs and continued to review the previous shooting plan. After a period of shooting in the coffee shop, he had a clearer understanding of himself and knew that he overestimated his ability, which should be considered in his imagination It's not a very difficult shooting plan. The only problem with lighting has embarrassed the crew for a long time.Sitting in front of a desk, Murphy reviews the plan one by one. There will be many unexpected difficulties in the future

There was a slight knock on the door, and from outside came James Franco's voice, "are you in there, Murphy?"

"Jim..." Murphy closed the plan and turned off the lamp. "Please come in."

The door was pushed open from the outside. James Franco came in with a bottle of wine in his left hand and two cups in his right. Then he sat on the sofa opposite the door and put the wine and cups on the coffee table. "Still working? Have a drink and let it go. "

Murphy put away the plan, went over there and sat on the sofa on the other side of the coffee table. He took the bottle of wine and opened it directly. He poured a glass for himself and James Franco. He picked up the glass, motioned to the other side and took a sip. "Very good whiskey."

"I brought it from home." James Franco touched Murphy's glass. He drank half of the wine in one gulp, with a look of enjoyment on his face. "Excellent Scotch Chivas whisky."

After drinking the wine in the glass, Murphy put down the glass and turned to look at James Franco, "it's really good wine..."

If it's a good wine, he can't drink it at all, but James Franco didn't come here to ask him to drink.

James Franco poured another glass for Murphy. Murphy saw the smiling face and asked, "what can I do for you?"

"A little bit." James Franco pauses, as if thinking about the wording, and then says, "Murphy, I don't know why, Kerry Mulligan is always hostile to me. She and I are going to shoot a lot of opposite plays, which will affect our work. You get on well with her and I want to know how you do it

He purposely added, "if my relationship with her improves, the shooting will go much better."
