In fact, the drama here is not very difficult. It doesn't need deep excavation, nor does it need to pursue connotation, let alone the actor's acting skills. The most important thing is to show violence, blood and cruelty
Even so, Murphy didn't relax when shooting. He not only changed four angles in the morning, but also shot nearly an afternoon after lunch. When there was only one black-and-white film left, he gave the actors a long rest and continued shooting after the rest.
He did not rest, sitting in the car repeatedly watching the shot, in order to find any place that can be perfect.
This is only a few minutes of the opening play, Murphy attaches great importance to.
For any movie, the opening shot is like the key to open the door of the light and shadow world, leading the audience to open the movie journey.
It can be said that the opening shot plays an important role in whether a film can catch the audience's eyes in a moment and have a good chemical reaction with the audience. Therefore, for the directors and producers, the opening shot must be carefully considered. Sometimes it can be the beginning of the whole film story, and sometimes it can be the end of the whole film story When you fold, the willow is dark and the flower is bright.
The movie in Murphy's plan has a very simple opening. It's really cruel to point out the theme and tell the real side of the hero Jeff. But can people unconsciously think that such people will continue to commit crimes? What will happen?
Whether he continues to torture and kill other girls, or someone seeks revenge on him, it is a good gimmick, which can attract a group of audiences to watch.
"At the end of the play," bill rossis and Mike, the agent, still stand by the Bush in the morning. The former tells the latter, "he's using a typical head to tail approach."
"The most simple and crude opening shot technique."
After a field observation in the afternoon, Mike is obviously more serious than in the morning, "but it's also the way that the new director has the lowest chance to miss."
He looked at Murphy in the distance, "a very smart person, with a very clear understanding of himself."
In bill Rossi's eyes, this kind of lens technique is more likely to succeed in the use of new directors, and there are countless classic movies in the history of film.
Mike suddenly turned his head and asked, "are you interested in him?"
Bill - rossis does not deny, directly said, "with our position in the company, it is impossible to get high-quality customer resources, such as Julian - firos actor of this level, is our limit, we want to climb up, can only think of ways in the cultivation of new people."
"Do you think he can?" Asked Mike curiously.
"Who can guarantee that." Bill rosis shook his head. "I just think he has some potential."
Mike knows what he means. For new people like this, their agents of ordinary status will sign a few every year. If these people can get ahead, they will rise naturally as excavators. If they can't, they will have little loss.
"And he's a director." Bill Rochester emphasized.
A successful director looks much darker than the star actors in front of the screen, but the reality is just the opposite.
Following the director is the universal value of the film circle. Throughout the film history of more than one hundred years, the real movie leaders are directors. Without such great directors as James Cameron, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, there would be no world film in the golden age today.
"It's true that the director is the dominant type of work in the whole film industry," as a friend, Mike reminded, "but every year thousands of film practitioners dream of becoming directors. How many are successful?"
"Everything is risky." Bill rosis just laughed. "I think he has potential, that's enough."
Where does he not know that the road of directing is as difficult as heaven? Even today's big red Ann Lee has worked as a family cook for six years before that; even Quentin tastino, for example, was an unknown video shop guy before that.
The shooting over there starts again. Bill rosis and Mike continue to whisper.
"I've been in this group for a long time," bill rossis said, holding his arms to his chest and looking across the set. "One is to help Julian take care of Kerry, and the other is to watch this Murphy Stanton."
Mike frowned. "Does he really have the potential to be worth your attention?"
"Although the road to directing is different," bill rossis apparently made up his mind, "there is always some general truth hidden in it."
"The most important thing, of course, is to prove yourself by strength and achievements." He laughed at Mike. "I can't say that now. I've proved that my own director is not our turn."
"What about the others?" Mike is obviously interested.
"Pressure resistance! Director is a high-risk and high-pressure job. The hard work and high-pressure of shooting the film itself are enough to drive ordinary people crazy. "
Speaking of this, Bill - rosis looked at Murphy with a trace of admiration, "I have investigated, he has suffered a lot of blows, he was still in prison for a year, but did not recover, after he got out of prison, he did better, and even dare to put all his wealth into this film."Mike didn't think so. "Is this crazy?"
Bill rosis retorted, "aren't all the successful directors crazy?"
He continued, "a director should have the ability to direct the performance. Kerry Mulligan is my signing actor. The most direct reason why she has made great progress during this period is Murphy Stanton."
These words are not only for Mike, but also for bill rosis to convince himself that such a potential person should not be missed, "and the most important thing is the ability to control the script. Kurosawa has repeatedly pointed out that to become an excellent director, one must first become a qualified screenwriter. The script of this project comes from his own hands. "
"Of course, I'm not saying how good the play is. Hard candy is neat at best."
Mike saw the script, but Bill rosis still said, "the script is not good, but it is full of factors that attract the audience. Nowadays, small budget movies want to attract the audience only by writing on fists, plasma and women, which are reflected enough in" fruit candy. "
After going through the script in his mind, Mike finds that it's true. The beginning of the script is violent crime, with a large-scale underage girl punishing the murderer, and a sensitive Lolita plot interspersed in the middle
He couldn't help but look at Murphy and became interested in this guy. The script is really not good and creative, but it is full of gimmicks to attract the audience.
