Chapter 259

At the beginning of the production, Murphy talked with all the main creators about this idea. During the shooting, Murphy reiterated it for further emphasis, so that the heads of all departments should not forget this.

He has worked with this team to make three typical cut style black films, namely "chainsaw", "horror planet" and "Sin City". The style of these films will definitely affect everyone involved in the shooting and production, but Murphy does not want to make "dead man" like the first three films.

The reason is very simple. The producer of the film is 20th century fox, the investment of as much as 60 million dollars and his first film entering the mainstream commercial film circle determine that "death watch" can not be those films.

No matter how to say, "chainsaw", "horror planet" and "Sin City" are typical genre films, or the audience in genre films is relatively small. Their investment is relatively limited, and the audience is also a small group of people with very clear goals.

But "dead man" is different, this is a typical commercial film, Murphy has more box office expectations for this film.

As a director, it seems that talking about the box office is a very indecent and low artistic force, but in Hollywood, the director who doesn't talk about the box office is a hooligan.

At present, the mainstream commercial films in Hollywood are facing a very good era. Although in Hollywood, the standard of a director's success is never single, the box office is an extremely important basis. In the extremely commercialized and industrialized film industry circle of Hollywood, whether it is art film director or commercial film director, it can even be said that there is no box office and market price There is no possibility of being a director.

At first, Murphy's favorite superheroes were Marvel Comics and Batman, which are more suitable for this era. But the reality will not be shifted by his personal will. In the end, Murphy can only aim at the alternative role of deadman.

The film "dead man" bears too much hope for him. Murphy knows very well that if he first moves to a mainstream commercial film, he will be beaten back to the independent film industry if he fails, and he may not find a good opportunity for a long time in the future.

This also determines that the style of "death attendants" must make a compromise to the business, not too small and dark.

To put it bluntly, Murphy just wants more audiences to watch "dead man" and contribute to the box office of the film.

Therefore, the black style of "dead man" is more reflected in the color design and black humor than in the content and theme. For example, the color of the film will be gray, dark, cold and other extensions made in black.

In Hollywood films, tone is often a direct embodiment of the film and the protagonist.

For example, the black that Murphy has always been good at using has many meanings, such as negation, power, * * *, mystery, fear, anonymity, unhappiness, depth, style, evil, sadness, regret, anger and so on.

As long as the tone of the film does not deviate, shooting will be relatively smooth.

From the next day, Murphy added a lot of action scenes to the shooting, and continued to use some high-speed slow lenses to set off the fast. When shooting action scenes, he would also become an auditor, leaving the pure action scenes to the action guidance team.

However, all the action shots taken must be in accordance with his idea, and his action plays should also set off his character.

In the next few days, Murphy will listen to Seth Logan's advice when shooting some humorous scenes. He asked Seth Logan to join the crew as an assistant director in order to help him shoot some humorous and funny scenes.

There is no omniscient director in the world, and he is no exception. For example, verbal humor can be expressed by actors like Robert Downey Jr. Murphy is really not good at some typical American body humor. He is neither good at funny nor growing up in this country, nor can he understand and control American body humor.

For example, American humor frequently mentions sexual organs, and uses body movements to show large-scale sexual cues. Murphy finds it not funny at all, but some people can't stand up.

It's no exaggeration to say that his laughing points are not on the same plane as those around him.

By contrast, Murphy found some of Robert Downey's lines more interesting.

Among those who have designed the lines for the dead waiter are Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Seth Logan and Jonah hill, and even a scene in which Wade Wilson confesses to Vanessa is accompanied by a passage from Gail gado.

These lines can be said to pollute to a new level. In the whole script, there is basically no "clean" and straightforward "F" lines. In the script, the little cheap and cheap come with open mouth, and the Yellow jokes of various levels of connotation pop up every now and then.

In the words of little Robert Downey, watching this movie will definitely be a grade test to test the "dirty power level" of friends around him. The audience who laughs the most frequently and loudly is definitely a "dirty power level 10 scholar", because this person will definitely get all the Yellow jokes from straightforward to obscure to super obscure, and only know how many "f words" appear in the movie The audience, they are already very stupid and naive people.However, no matter how yellow the story is, it's just a verbal effort. If you want to pollute a new realm, of course, Murphy should let the dead waiter match it with action.

There are all kinds of passion plays. In a large-scale shooting, the hero and heroine not only tease Master Yoda and Luke Skywalker, but also spend a whole year in bed from Valentine's day to Christmas.

And with the filming and success of sin city, Jessica Alba, who plays Vanessa, no longer refuses to shoot large-scale action plays.

However, for the sake of grading consideration and being able to appear in more overseas markets, Murphy has converged too much compared with sin city, and the picture is not too much. At most, Jessica Alba is naked, and Robert Downey, Jr. keeps the front and back of the key points For example, Murphy then filmed a play and asked Jessica Alba to pop chrysanthemums for little Robert Downey No, it's Vanessa's Chrysanthemum.

In this kind of play, even if there is a bottom line of the visible scale of the lens, the content of the lens "left blank" can absolutely make the audience "dirty eyes"!

The exact situation can be said that, although the camera is not completely shot, but xiaojianjian is definitely the first superhero on the screen to be "attacked by the Queen".

Among all the films that have been shot, in fact, Murphy is still very careful to control the scale. As a director, he knows very well that he is going to make a popular film instead of the pure black cut films before.

So, Murphy still makes the whole film dirty and warm, full of the so-called mainstream aesthetic of the North American audience, just like the humble, full of all kinds of non hero characteristics, but ultimately must run all the way on the hero's road.

He will let all the yellow, violent, dirty, cheap mix together, and then form a very warm and touching core.

There is no doubt that the so-called "die cheap" way of getting along with children is the most sincere way.

Half a month after filming at Fox Studios, Murphy led the crew to a bar contacted by Paul Wilson, hired a large number of strong, ferocious looking Australian extras, and began filming the part of mercenary bar.

That's where the dead waiter and Vanessa met.

The bar is crowded with people, full of alcohol and impulsive smell everywhere. One extras after another come out of the dressing car outside and walk into the bar. Then they are taken to their respective positions by Seth Logan and Paul Wilson, and tell them what to pay attention to when shooting later.

David Robbie is showing people to set up the lights; Helena espora adjusts the background of the bar to cover the whole white wall with a slightly shabby and gray set; Jack Watson stands beside Robert Downey Jr. and Jessica Alba, directing two makeup artists to make up for the leading actor and actress.

Murphy was standing in the corner of the bar, discussing the shooting with Philip Raschel for a while.

"I don't need a jittery shot." He rejected Philip Raschel's proposal to "give up hand-held cameras and switch to stannikon."

Philip Raschel nodded, "yes."

"I also need your main camera to take the panorama." He pointed to the bar counter. "After the heroine comes out, stannikon follows her and shoots in a semi-arc trajectory."

The shooting must be based on the actor's position.

After communicating with Felipe Raschel, Murphy went over to Robert Downey Jr. and Jessica Alba Jr. and announced the shooting as soon as all the preparations were ready.

"Oh, oh, oh, baby..."

In front of the bar counter, Jessica Alba, dressed as sexy, turned out from behind little Robert Downey, with a hand on his body, in a provocative tone, "do you want to shoot them all?"

A camera assistant with stanicon on it has been focusing on Jessica Alba.

This line also shows the identity of Vanessa, a woman who lives by selling her body.

Jessica Alba turned to Robert Downey Jr. "are you going to spend all your money?"

"Hard..." Robert Downey, Jr. first gestured vaguely and then asked, "do you know who I am?"

"Who are you?" Jessica Alba put one hand on little Robert Downey's chest and rowed down, "you'll tell me who you are."

She was the first to say, "I'm Vanessa."

Robert Downey Jr. replied, "I'm Wade."

Is the introduction of the leading actor and heroine a little dull? Some don't fit Wade Wilson's character? Thinking of this, Murphy yelled, "stop!"

Then he waved, "Donny, Jesse, you two come here."

Murphy is going to add a paragraph to the scene. (to be continued). ）For mobile phone users, please browse and read for better reading experience.
