In the dilapidated huge warehouse, the lights on the ceiling gradually went out, and only the light for shooting arranged by David Robbie was still flashing. Under the light, there was a huge iron cage. On the left side of the cage, there were two oblique 45 degree angles, each with a 35mm camera. Murphy and photographer director Philip Raschel were standing behind each other.
Seen from the camera, the iron cage is covered with sharp barbed wire, and Beck klebert's fake things made of rubber look real.
A fat man in a small underpants comes out of the makeshift dressing room. James Franco whistles at his fat body. The fat man turns his head and puts up a middle finger. He strides to the entrance of the cage and looks at Murphy.
It's not an official shoot, it's just a test of props, lighting and make-up effects. Murphy doesn't speak and makes an "OK" gesture to the fat man.
Fat man lowered his head into the cage, as if there was a woman behind him who was bigger than him, trying to get into the cage.
The barbed wire hung on him one by one, and the fat man howled miserably, as if he was being stabbed by a female wolf. The place where he was stabbed by the barbed wire also flowed bright red liquid, which looked so dazzling.
Subsequently, the silicone on the fat man's body collapsed according to the plan, and the "wounds" were shocking.
"Stop!" Murphy turned off the camera, went to the back of another camera, exchanged a few words with Philip Raschel, and said in a loud voice, "the cage and the wire are OK, the set is OK..."
The fat man had pulled out of the cage and was looking at Murphy. Murphy nodded to him. "Jonah's performance was good, too."
Fat man also ignores to brush the bright red liquid on the body, split big mouth to smile.
Murphy has never been that kind of strict to abnormal people, compared to angry with actors, he preferred to encourage actors.
After that, he also pointed out the shortcomings. First of all, he said to the lighting group, "David, this is a black movie. Your lighting is still a little soft. I want the lighting to be harder. In addition, when the official shooting, add background light to Jonah, I want him to appear paler in the lens. "
He turned to Jack Watson and said, "when Jonah's character dies, his make-up is whiter."
Barbed wire can't kill people directly. Fat people die because they lose too much blood. In this case, the body must be whiter than other ways of death.
Others wrote down Murphy's requests one by one and began to discuss with their assistants how to solve them.
"That's all for today." Murphy looked at the time. "Before shooting officially, solve all the problems this afternoon."
He went back to the back of the camera, and Philip Raschel was still playing back the shot of the fat man just taken. Because the barbed wire was made of rubber, when it was hung on the body, some places inevitably looked fake.
Editor Jody Griffith also stood here. He looked at it and said, "we can use jump editing. We keep the close-up of the barbed wire, and then the panoramic camera shows the actor climbing forward, ignoring the process of the wire hanging on the body, and switching directly to the terrible wound on the actor's body."
As long as no one touches the barbed wire, it looks like it's real, and Jack Watson's make-up effect is guaranteed, which is undoubtedly a good solution.
Murphy nodded. "You can do that."
At the end of a day's work, Murphy packed up the film, walked out of the set and came to the security room and the temporary office of the crew near the entrance of the warehouse. Two fat and one thin men were sitting on the chairs here, talking and laughing loudly.
"You don't know, Seth."
The fat man in the iron cage has taken off his make-up, put on a large T-shirt and jeans, straightened up his fat stomach, and danced, "when rehearsing the scene of father's love for his daughter, Jim, a mean and shameless guy multiplied by ten times, looked at Lily's eyes straight."
James Franco wanted to close his big mouth. "Jonah, shut your mouth!"
As most of the people were gone, the fat man named Jonah spoke with unbridled, foaming, "Jim, don't admit it! Do you dare to say that you were not hard at that time? "
He made an exaggerated gesture of straightening his lower body. "If you don't have it, I'll cut it off and throw it into Seth's mouth!"
"Hey! well! Jonah... " Seth Logan jumped straight out of his chair. "You faggot! Don't pull on me. "
Murphy stood at the door, knocked on the door, three guys see Murphy, except not very familiar fat Jonah, the other two people are not embarrassed, or in unbridled smile.
"Hi, director Stanton." Jonah turned to say hello.
"You're welcome." Murphy nodded at him with a smile. "Just call me Murphy."
James Franco was not polite to Murphy at all. He came up to him and grabbed him. He said, "well, guys, it's a treat tonight. Think of a place."
Murphy looked at James - Franco, James - Franco pulled him out, "don't hesitate, workaholic, to know how to relax, relax will have higher efficiency."Jonah followed. "I know there's a good place in Venice. It's a good show."
Seth Logan walked at the end and said in a loud voice to the front, "Jonah hill, you faggot, don't you want to take us to the gay bar?"
"You fat man!" Jonah Hill turned around, swearing, "you're the fag! You fat faggot
Tomorrow is the rest day of the crew, and Murphy didn't refuse.
It can be seen that the relationship between the three people is very good. Murphy drives his car, James Franco sits in the co driver's seat, and two fat men are crowded in the back. When he starts the car, Jonah Hill points to the road, and doesn't forget a few words from Seth Logan and James Franco.
Listening to these people's blatant swearing, Murphy suddenly felt his nervous tension relaxed a lot. In the past, he has been too tight. Even when he was alone, his body could relax, but his spirit was still tight.
From the day he left the prison, he knew that time was precious to him. In order to become a top director, Murphy had strict requirements on whether he was a free journalist running the social news or switching to the film industry. He also put a lot of pressure on himself, resulting in headache from time to time.
People can't be busy all the time. Sometimes they need to relax.
It wasn't far from the car, and Murphy could see that Jonah hill, who was less than 20 years old, was the most eloquent.
Of course, they are no better than this fat man.
James Franco seems to be the most serious of the four people, but this guy's elegant and handsome face is a very different character. Sometimes his behavior is absurd. The biggest disadvantage is that he is too timid and likes to hide behind others when he meets unexpected situations.
Seth Logan looks honest and honest, but the jokes are endless. It's not too much to say that he is a bitch.
According to Jonah Hill's instructions, the black Ford car slowly stopped in front of an underground strip club.
