"Your acting talent?" Murphy frowned. Marguerite put her head in front of her. She looked at Murphy as if she wanted to know his answer. "Yes, yes. What's my acting talent like?"
"Sorry, Maggie." Murphy shook his head without hesitation. "I don't see acting talent in you."
"What?" Margaret's voice immediately raised, "I don't have acting talent? How is that possible? "
She didn't believe Murphy's words. "I haven't been in touch with performances before. Today, I just tried to shoot them a few times, and you just said yes!"
"Because I'm very low on you!" Murphy is telling the truth, "Maggie, you haven't been in touch with the performance, many emotions can't be expressed in place, including the last time, I called through, because the film's requirements for this role are not strict."
"Really?" Margaret was a little disappointed.
Murphy nodded seriously, "you have good psychological quality, no tension, no stage fright. I can give you ten points in this aspect, but when it comes to acting talent, you only have 60 points of normal level."
He may lose sight, but the possibility of such estimation is still very high.
Marguerite went back to her seat, somewhat depressed. "I also thought that if I can't be a female rider, it's good to be an actor in the future."
"You can be an actor if you don't have a good talent," Murphy said casually. "As long as you have a good chance, you can succeed."
"Well, forget it," Marguerite waved. "I'd better wait until I grow up."
In the subsequent shooting, Marguerite officially became the actress of Nancy. David Robbie asked Bill rosis to temporarily act as Marguerite's agent and signed a formal actor contract with the cast.
Just like Murphy said, Margaret's acting talent is general, and her performance in the shooting is not very good. However, the role of girl Nancy is limited, and her demands are not high. As long as she is not as nervous as Nicky Milton and can't help crying, even if some feelings can't be expressed in place, she can pass the exam.
After shooting the part of young girl Nancy, James Franco, who plays Dwight, also joined in. Due to the appearance of Murphy, the actor's path of James Franco has changed greatly. The biggest change is that he didn't play the little green devil in spider man. Instead, he continued to fight in independent movies with Murphy and several close friends.
In the film, the three most important male characters are all different, just like celibacy. James Franco's Dwight has the least monologue, which is just in line with the character's cold character.
When shooting, each character's modeling design is also very characteristic. Everyone has an obvious feature to distinguish them from others, and it should be able to show the character's personality characteristics, such as muffle's strange face, Dwight's red sports car, the cross shaped scar on Hardy's forehead, and so on.
However, the most eye-catching figure is the "yellow hybrid" of the second generation of officials in the city.
This character takes nearly five hours to make up before each shooting, and needs a lot of makeup when shooting.
The Yellow hybrid's status is extremely prominent. The bishop dominates the city by controlling the church, and his brother is a senator. The family is powerful enough to make their only child, the Yellow Bastard, become the president of the United States. In this case, the so-called state machine has no justice, and there is no essential difference between the police and the gangs.
When the Yellow hybrid raped and killed the little girl one after another, all the police, except Hardy, an old retired policeman with heart disease, decided to get rid of the harm for the people. Hardy's assistant even shot him. When Hardy was seriously injured and rescued the young Nancy, Locke, the predecessor of the yellow hybrid, relied on his own power to sentence Hardy to the crime of raping the young girl.
At the same time, a special effects team composed of three special effects studios also entered the Disney studio to deal with the scenes that Murphy had already shot. One of the most important tasks was color matching. All the shots taken by Murphy are color. If you want to realize the cartoon style of black and white as the keynote, you must do a lot of color processing.
In the spare time of shooting, Murphy also frequently communicated with the special effects group to check their processing effect in time.
As far as the production plan of sin city is concerned, if you want to express its creative concept, the use of color is undoubtedly an important factor for Murphy.
There will be differences in the color tone and style of the scene in the film, one is for the needs of narration, the other is for the needs of visual style, and there are often great differences between them.
The strong contrast between black and white required by Murphy, together with the scheduling of the lens and the angle of light, many lenses can be seen as an independent picture of the cartoon. In particular, the use of black in the film must be rich in layers, showing the original appearance of "Sin City", and even reaching the image texture that color film can't get.Moreover, the advantages of the film in action scenes and the ease in the use of colors are far better than those of comics, which directly brings about sharp visual effects.
"Most of the time, the lens is black and white, only the splashing blood is red and fierce, which makes the blood of the characters' faces particularly shocking."
In the special effects studio, Murphy talked to the special effects staff about the basic concept of color adjustment, "this kind of black and white throughout No, in fact, there are the extreme colors of red, yellow and green. Whether it's the blood red sky, the golden monster, or the green beauty's eyes, in the pure color world of black, gray and white, it's even more imposing! "
In addition to being able to fully fit the two-color world of the original comic book, the film also brings some effects that can't be seen in the comic book. On the premise of not losing the visual impact, the film moderately reduces the negative effects of violent and bloody scenes on the audience, and even makes some bloody scenes appear quite silent. The film is easier to pass the R rating of MPAA.
The overall shooting speed is not fast, and Murphy always firmly controls the rhythm of the crew. As part of the scenes that complete the color matching almost reproduce the scene of the cartoon, Frank Miller, who is another director, has not become a hindrance to the shooting. Although the crew is relatively large, they can still unite together and work towards the same goal and direction.
In January 2003, Murphy gave the crew three days off, and David Robbie asked him for a few days off. After taking Marguerite to Los Angeles for a while, he sent her back to Australia.
In February, the shooting continues to be busy, with more actors on the cast, such as Ziyi Zhang as meihui and Rosario Dawson as Gail, and more actresses, who will form the red light district of sin city.
The crew also began to shoot more action plays. Murphy not only used a lot of high-speed and slow motion lenses, but also shot some fast motion lenses appropriately, so as to form a strong contrast between the speed of some action plays.
However, there are not many things to see in the shot, and these shots are more dependent on the processing of special effects.
For a week in a row, the No. 3 studio of Disney Studios has been full of women in sexy leather clothes, guns or whips. It's absolutely salivating. According to the setting of the cartoon, the clothes on these female characters can't be any shorter or less.
As Murphy said before, he is not only not against nudity that can arouse the audience's emotions, but also very supportive.
During the interval of shooting, these sexy actresses dressed in front of the camera are also the focus of the crew's private discussion.
"I swear, Donny, I'm absolutely right!"
During the lunch break, several people gathered in Murphy's director's office. Jonah Hill vowed, "the night before yesterday, after the crew got off work, you went into Rosario's dressing room and stayed in it for at least 20 minutes!"
James Franco found the mineral water from the cupboard, threw a bottle of it to Murphy, Robert Downey, Jr., Seth Logan and Jonah hill, and said, "it can't be true, Downey. Your taste is too strong!"
Robert Downey, Jr. did not deny it. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Jim, do I have your taste?"
Hearing this, Murphy laughed. Jonah Hill also asked James Franco and Lily where they were going
"You guys," Murphy took a sip of the mineral water and warned these guys, "don't fool around during working hours."
"Don't worry, Murphy." Robert Downey, Jr. yelled, "we are all your strong supporters."
"That's it Jonah Hill coaxed, "even if I'm going to fool around, I'm at the end of the day."
He turned to Seth Logan and said, "don't you like Asian girls very much? How about that chapter. "
Seth Logan touched his nose. "All right."
"It's best not to make up her mind," Robert Downey Jr. warned. "Her suitor is Ivy Nevo, a Jew who is deeply involved in Hollywood."
James Franco also said, "we'd better not mess with the Jews. We can't mess with them now."
"I'm not confused," Seth Logan told himself. "I don't like Zhang's type. The Asian girl I like has deep eye socket and small nose..."
After a while, James Franco said, "have you heard that Miss Universe, who participated in the Miss Universe final this year, has arrived in Malibu, where we need to train and publicize. If we have time, we can go and have a look."
Murphy thought of the party lobbying Frank Miller and asked, "when's the game going to be?"
"You're interested, too?" James Frank thought for a moment, "if you remember correctly, it seems that it will be soon, just a few months later."
The five agreed that if they had time, they would go to the Miss Universe contest together.
As time went on, the filming of the crew went to the end, and Jessica Alba also entered the Disney Studio. (to be continued). )For mobile phone users, please browse and read for better reading experience.
