"Harvey, you want to recommend Bruce Willis to play hardy"

in a reception room of Burbank Miramax, Murphy frowned at Harvey Weinstein and objected without hesitation. "I don't think it's appropriate"

"because he's not a client of CAA," Harvey Weinstein asked.

He owes Bruce Willis a favor to his agent. When he heard about the project, Bruce Willis, in particular, heard that it was Frank Miller's cartoon works, showed great interest.

"He's not CAA's client." Murphy doesn't know this at all. To be honest, he doesn't care if the actors used are from CAA. Let bill rosis and CAA package their own projects just because they can make him a director with less worry and effort. He added, "Harvey, it has nothing to do with whether Bruce Willis is a client of CAA."

"Oh," Harvey Weinstein didn't seem to believe it, "did he"

Murphy couldn't just object without reason. In just a few minutes, he thought out the reason.

"I don't think Bruce Willis is more suitable for the role of hardy than Robert Downey Jr." although Robert Downey Jr. is the last person to join, he also said that he should watch and help each other. As the leader of this small group, Murphy of course has to defend his own people. "Downey's reputation is not very good in recent years, but after the terrorist planet, he has recovered a lot of popularity, and Bruce Willis is famous It's louder than Downey, but Harvey, have you ever thought that he's also out of breath "

with this alone, it's impossible to convince Harvey Weinstein. Murphy also said," what's Bruce Willis's possible salary? Will he play at friendship price "?

this is not a prize winning film, unless Bruce Willis and his agent have problems.

Harvey Weinstein didn't speak. Murphy continued, "is it five million dollars or eight million dollars? Little Robert Downey's pay is only a quarter or less of his"

controlling investment is what Miramax and Harvey Weinstein have been doing.

"If Bruce Willis can bring extraordinary performance, we can consider him." Murphy didn't stop, "but Bruce Willis is never good at acting. I don't think his acting is as good as little Robert Downey"

after that, Murphy took a big sip of cold coffee on the coffee table. As soon as he was ready to say something more, Harvey Weinstein suddenly changed Idea.

"You have a point," he seemed to agree with Murphy. "I've always supported you. Since you're against it, I'll turn down Bruce Willis's agent."

Harvey Weinstein was so convinced by himself that Murphy was a little surprised. He was ready to continue to find reasons and excuses

when he walked out of the meeting room, Murphy was still very confused. He didn't understand until he left the building and got into his car.

Harvey Weinstein is a sly old fox.

He came here to fight Bruce Willis playing Hardy.

Hollywood is well-informed, and some things are easy to spread. Harvey Weinstein's rejection of Bruce Willis can be put on his head, showing Bruce Willis and his agency that it's not that I don't want to use you, but my director's strong opposition. I always have to respect the director's opinions

in this way, I can easily throw the villain to him, and Harvey's Weinstein would hardly hurt his network.

Even, his director has to accept Harvey Weinstein's favor. After all, the other party finally listened to him and used Robert Downey Jr.

This abacus is definitely not the best one.

driving a black Cadillac to the Disney studio, Murphy sighed that none of these Hollywood bigwigs is simple.

This kind of hindsight also reminds him that we must not relax some necessary vigilance just because the two sides are cooperating, otherwise we will be sold for money.

After arriving at the Disney studio, Murphy transfers to a battery car and goes to Studio 2 and studio 3 rented by the crime city crew.

In recent years, there has been a serious outflow of Hollywood studios, especially those of major commercial films, which have rarely been filmed in Los Angeles. Except for a few studios in Hollywood, most of them have become tourist areas. Disney studios are no exception. Only Studio 2 and studio 3 can see people in the studios of Norda.

Crime city would not have stayed in Los Angeles if Miramax had not been able to apply for tax rebates from several popular shooting locations in other states and overseas.

Although the slogan of supporting independent films in the United States is resounding, the priority of tax rebate subsidy is always the mainstream commercial films. The tax rebate policy in various regions is to stimulate investment and promote employment, which has nothing to do with the pursuit of film art. The role of commercial films with large investment and large production is undoubtedly more obvious.

Entering the No.2 main studio, Helena is leading the set team to set up the green screen. Almost all the shots in the film will be shot in front of the green screen, and only a few shots need to be set up and put on the location, which will also reduce the workload of the set team and the production team in setting or selecting the venue.Murphy had just started the assignment. She had a few words with Helena in the past, mainly to listen to her opinions on the sketchpad.

This time, the script is very simple, but Murphy uses comics as the blueprint and makes a large number of continuous drawing boards to guide the shooting. The drawing board also has its own advantages, which can make the shooting more conform to the style of comics and make the scene clear at a glance.

The disadvantage is that it is too patterned and lacks creativity and flexibility.

This has little influence on the shooting of sin city. Murphy just wants to reproduce the cartoon.

Of course, he would not hesitate to make a change.

In the crew's office, Murphy meets Philip Raschel, and Frank Miller is here.

"Murphy"

"director"

the crew took the initiative to say hello, and Murphy nodded to them one by one. Then he went to Philip Raschel and Frank Miller in conversation. After they finished, he asked, "Philip, do you rent the camera?"

"I contacted nearly ten equipment rental companies, and none of them had the latest Sony digital photography "We have two companies to coordinate, and the cameras will be in place by next week at the latest, which will not affect our work."

Murphy said, "you're looking at this."

"Well." Philip Raschel nodded.

"What's more," Murphy said, "I've told the action director team that they will cooperate with each other. When the camera is in place, you can shoot the high-speed slow motion lens immediately"

Philip Raschel just wanted to say that it's OK. Frank Miller took the lead in saying, "high speed slow lens Murphy, do you want to shoot the action lens with the high-speed slow lens

"Fran" didn't wait for him to finish, Murphy interrupted, "it's not sure yet, it's just experimental shooting, whether to use it or not, and whether we can discuss it until the effect of experimental shooting comes out"

"this" Frank Miller hesitated for a moment.

When he didn't see the actual effect, he just spoke out against it. He really had no confidence.

And after a long time in the crew, he can see that to achieve the style of comics, he needs a lot of film technology that he has never heard of.

Up to now, he has to admit that he is a layman in film making, and his understanding of film making is still at least ten years ago. Shooting a film and drawing a cartoon with the style of film shots are totally different things.

Murphy agrees that Frank Miller will join the production team and directly participate in the production of the film, which is based on CAA's full investigation and understanding. As long as he gets the right of adaptation, even if Frank Miller wants to tell the story, he doesn't know where to start. It's too far from directing the production team to know some film knowledge.

Even if Frank Miller wants to direct, there are a few people in the crew willing to listen to him

there is a gap between making a commitment and actual implementation.

Frank Miller didn't object at last. He planned to wait for the effect of the experimental shooting to come out before deciding whether to support or oppose it.

Murphy then went to studio 3. It has been confirmed that Robert Downey Jr., James Franco, Seth Logan and Jonah hill, who are playing in the film, are working out, and they will receive professional training in motion guidance after working out.

They all have action plays in the film. They will play police officer Hardy, big muffle, killer Kevin and Dwight respectively. Especially Jonah hill, who plays killer Kevin, must lose weight under Murphy's order, at least.

The action director, named woodwater, turned out to be a little-known figure. When he took part in the shooting of the two sequels of the matrix, he was inspired by Kung Fu and combined free combat with other fighting skills to create a more suitable action mode for Hollywood movies.

It's not unreasonable for CAA to sign him.

Of course, the action routines suitable for film shooting have nothing to do with actual combat. When Woodward just entered the production group, Robert Downey, Jr., who had a fight with Murphy and rose in prison, had a simple competition with him. Woodward was not an opponent at all.

No one is surprised. After all, everyone knows that fighting in the movie is different from actual combat.

Murphy did not disturb the four people in the fitness. He found Paul Wilson, who is also the casting director, and asked about the audition registration.

There are a lot of characters in the film, most of which will be solved through auditions.

"The situation is much better than we expected. It should be that the cartoon is well-known and a large number of people have signed up."

Paul Wilson gave Murphy an application form, on which Murphy saw many familiar names, such as cliff Owen, Sophia vegala, Jessica Simpson, and Jessica Alba. For mobile phone users, please browse. Read for better reading experience.
