In the long corridor, the light is dim, showing a strange quiet. The sound of footsteps suddenly rings. Margot Robbie, a smart suit, breaks into the camera and walks along the corridor step by step towards the camera.
Next, a camera controlled by Philip Raschel moves slowly along the slide, taking the profile of Margot Robbie from the side.
Margot Robbie kept a steady pace and walked to a large glass window, which was completely separated from the corridor by iron bars, forming an independent space. There were many people sitting there, looking at a man in a dark red suit at the front, who looked very funny.
She turned her head and looked inside, and Philip Raschel's camera lens, like the eyes of the heroine, turned indoors.
At the same time, another camera controlled by a photo assistant, in the corner of the room, began shooting.
Murphy doesn't pay attention to Margot Robbie on the monitor, but turns to James Franco.
Filie Raschel's camera shot one by one from little Robert Downey, Seth Logan and Jonah hill, and gave them enough close-up, and finally stayed in James Franco's body.
At this time, James Franco was like a complete lunatic.
Before filming, Murphy told James Franco that his performance should be explosive and crazy enough.
And so did James Franco.
"Do you know what this is?"
James Franco took out a plastic ball of the same color as clothes from his pocket, held it up in his right hand and shook it to a dozen people opposite him. His face was full of crazy expression. "Do you think this is an ordinary plastic ball? Huh? Is it? What do you think it is? Or not? Or maybe, maybe not? "
More than a dozen people sitting opposite are not interested in anything. Little Robert Downey is reading the newspaper, Jonah hill is drooling at Seth Logan, and Seth Logan is in a daze
Few people care about what James Franco says or does.
But James Franco didn't care at all. He continued to shout, "no! You are all wrong! You think it's a plastic ball, but it's not! "
At this point, he suddenly grasped his right hand. When he opened it, the plastic ball was gone. The camera lens randomly turned to his left hand, and the plastic ball appeared on James Franco's left hand.
James Franco raised his left hand, looked at the ball and said, "this is the key to chaos! Chaos and killing are the best medicine to save the world
At the most appropriate moment, Felipe Raschel's camera turns back to Margot Robbie, and a man quickly walks up to Margot Robbie.
"Is he the one who was sent in by the police, too?" Margot Robbie looked at James Franco and asked, "I don't remember having his information."
The staff member quickly shook his head, "he is not, he is a magician, mental problems."
Margot Robbie took one last look, shook his head, walked away and said to himself, "a magician?"
At this point, I don't know why, she stopped again. Instead of walking away as described in the script, she said, "very strange person."
"Stop!" Murphy's voice rang out, and Margot Robbie quickly got rid of the role. Thinking of the final play, he patted his forehead gently. It seemed that he made a mistake and might have to retake it again. But what he didn't expect was that Murphy's words rang out again, "Maggie, James, well done! This one's over! "
Margot Robbie was stunned. "This one passed?"
Then, she wanted to understand that her sudden spontaneous performance on the spot was recognized by the director Murphy.
Behind the director's monitor, Murphy waved to the assistant who brought the water cup, indicating that he didn't need it for the time being, and asked the assistant director to arrange the next scene. He went back to the shot and watched it.
Margot Robbie's last play does not meet the requirements of the script, but Murphy has never been a rigid director, and Margot Robbie's live performance inspired him. Can Margot Robbie and James Franco's play be further explored?
James Franco's magician will be the main character in the second part, and kill Jay Rachel played by Margaret Robbie, making the whole story more dark and gloomy
This is also the main reason why the studio only signed two actor agreements with Margot Robbie. Jay Rachel will not be seen in the third film at all.
But now, from Margot Robbie's interesting eyes to James Franco, Murphy suddenly feels that Jay Rachel can continue to exist and have more contact with the magician.
The magician is a crazy villain, but she has her own logic, and that logic has certain attraction. If Jay Rachel's original belief is broken by the magician, what will she do if she loses the support of her belief? Are you more jealous of evil, or do you just throw away your previous belief and become someone else?People are always complex, when facing extremely difficult circumstances, people will always make some unexpected choices.
He can add weight to the role of Jay Rachel, and use this role to show the possible results caused by the mutation of human ideas and ideology.
But the time of a film is limited, and the weight of Jay Rachel's role increases, which will inevitably weaken the role of other roles. How to balance the roles without imbalance?
Maybe we can get rid of the role of another prosecutor
This idea appeared in Murphy's mind irresistibly, and it became more and more intense, as if it had to be done.
However, Murphy is also very clear that in this way, many of the stories in the second part of the novel will be overturned, and many of the characters and frameworks will need to be rebuilt. The final fate of Margot Robbie's character should also be handled carefully. Whether it will die at the end of the second part or reappear in the third part needs to be carefully measured.
This kind of situation can be described by pulling one hair and moving the whole body.
Thinking of this, Murphy shakes his head and gets rid of it for a while. The ongoing shooting is more important. Whether the role of Margot Robbie is changed or not can wait until the film is finished. He can calm down and think a little bit.
"Hi, Murphy."
Next came Seth Logan's greeting voice. Murphy turned to look at it. He had already come, nodded and said, "are you ready to go?"
Including James Franco, they don't have many scenes in the film.
"Some of them went to the set." Seth Logan pulled a chair, sat down on Murphy's left, and said, "my new project is about to start. Do you have time after this film? How about going to my part? "
"Me?" Murphy pointed to himself, "you know my acting skills," hangover "has been criticized a lot, and it's holding you back, so forget it."
How could Seth Logan give up easily? He said, "this time is different. Have you forgotten? You're in the film, you're yourself. "
Murphy has read the script and plan for a long time, and knows that there will be no fictional characters in the film, and all the characters are based on their real identities.
For example, if he plays in the film, he is still Murphy Stanton and Hollywood's big director, which is exactly the same as his identity in real life.
In this way, the difficulty of performance will be greatly reduced.
Seth Logan continued, "I want to make it a big gathering of stantons. The main characters in the film are us and our friends. Without you, it would be seriously incomplete."
"How many of them have agreed to play?" Murphy asked.
"Of course!" Seth Logan won't tell Murphy about his plan. "I've invited a lot of people."
Murphy thought for a moment, and finally nodded slowly, "well, count me in."
Hearing Murphy say so, Seth Logan let go, but did not leave, and said, "you pull Gail together."
"Don't come to me for such a thing." Murphy waved her hand. "Go talk to her yourself."
Seth Logan shrugged. "Well, I'll go find Gail."
In their eyes, Gail gado is completely centered on Murphy. As long as Murphy agrees to play, it's not difficult to deal with Gail gado.
As a matter of fact, except for Robert Downey Jr., Seth Logan, Jonah hill and James Franco have no intention of leaving at all. The three of them act separately and roam around the warehouse set in Venice. They have frequent contact with Murphy's production team, and all kinds of rhetoric emerge in endlessly, which is bound to lead them to appear in front of the stage together.
The effect is also quite good. Seth Logan succeeded in persuading Gail gado, and under the banner of Gail gado, he brought in brother and sister Margot Robbie and David Robbie; James Franco succeeded in winning Philip Raschel and Helena espora; Jonah Hill talked with Christopher Waltz and others, and the results were quite fruitful.
Of course, most people are just guest stars, otherwise the whole budget will be crushed by the actor's salary alone.
Stanton studio only has a budget of $30 million for this film, which can't support so many stars.
Therefore, the vast majority of celebrity actors, just cameo.
In the following period of time, Murphy also asked Gail gado to timely transmit the news of Seth Logan's project to him. The project officially started preparation in mid November. Seth Logan gave up the original title of "Apocalypse" and renamed it "the end of the world".
In addition, Seth Logan, James Franco and Jonah Hill lobbied everywhere to attract more stars. (to be continued). )
