Chapter 553

"I met Kevin Fitch the other day."

In a moving car at Beverly Hills, Carla Firth said to Murphy, sitting on top of the co pilot, "he called me several times in a row to meet me."

Gail gado next to him asked curiously, "is it about the schedule of Thor and city of chaos?"

Murphy also looked back at Carla Firth with concern. Carla Firth nodded and said, "yes, he wants us to change the schedule."

"How is that possible?" Gail gado shook his head. "If we change the schedule, our advance publicity is in vain!"

Carla Firth laughed and said, "so I turned down Kevin firch."

Listen to her, Murphy turns around. The beginning of summer season is a good time. In his opinion, it's better than Memorial Day at the end of May. Compared with pirates of the Caribbean 4 in memorial day, transformers 3 in mid June and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in Independence Day holiday, Raytheon is a better movie 》Thor is a real soft persimmon.

In the first weekend of May, plus Raytheon, a third rate superhero, Murphy and Kara Firth will certainly choose soft persimmons.

Moreover, the opening of "city of chaos" in the summer season can also avoid the conflict with other big works whose release date has long been set by the 20th Century Fox summer season.

For example, hangover 2, which has changed its director and some actors, will be released in mid May, X-Men: the first battle will be released in early June, the latest Rio adventure will be released in late June, and the rise of scarlet ball will be released in July

In addition, Murphy's "city of chaos", which is the main five films of 20th century fox in the summer of 2011, of course, we should spread the schedule, otherwise we will form our own competition situation, which will be sad.

Murphy looked into the distance, approaching James Franco's mansion in Beverly Hills, which he had never lived in, and asked, "what else are you talking about?"

"Well." Carla Firth said, "after I refused to change my schedule, Kevin firch wanted to make an agreement with me to avoid competition."

"Is it done?" Murphy didn't look back.

"Do you think the two films can avoid competition?" Asked carafes.

Murphy did not answer. The answer to the question is obvious. How can two films released on the same weekend not form a competitive relationship?

Carla Firth then said, "I made a verbal agreement with him to avoid vicious competition between the two films as much as possible. That would not be good for anyone."

In the 20th century, Fox and Walt Disney, the distributor of Raytheon, both belong to the top six Hollywood companies. The six companies compete and cooperate, but there is no bottom line in competition. Vicious competition without bottom line can be said to hurt each other.

In this regard, Murphy is reassured that Kara Firth will not hesitate when it's time to withdraw his hand, but Kara Firth will never let go when the time is right to attack the competitors.

The car slowly drove into James Franco's mansion, where there was a lot of noise, boom, cameras and make-up trailers everywhere, almost becoming a Hollywood film set.

In fact, this is one of the main shooting sites for Seth Logan's new film "the end of the world". This time, Murphy, Gail gado and Kara Firth came to take part in the shooting of this film.

Murphy's post production work has basically come to an end, leaving only a very small number of work unfinished, such as adding soundtrack, sound editing and subtitle production, to Michelle Williams for the time being, who can temporarily put himself into the shooting of the film.

"The end of the world" in early March, the preparation is completed, officially started shooting, Murphy in the inside of the play is not much, the actor is not a good person.

When she arrived at the set and the shooting was in progress, Murphy saw Seth Logan and Jonah Hill busy directing the production team, but did not say hello. Under the leadership of two staff members, she went to the men's and women's dressing rooms with Gail gado and Carla Firth respectively. After putting on her make-up, she came to the wide lawn in front of James Franco mansion and waited patiently for her part.

After standing here for a while, Murphy saw quite a few familiar faces, many of which can be said to be Hollywood stars.

In addition to the stantons and their girlfriends, Seth Logan, Jonah hill and James Franco have also recruited actors like Jay baruchel, Craig Robinson, Nicholas Cage and Selena Gomez. Besides, there are also guest stars such as Paul Luther, Emma Watson, Taylor swift and Rihanna.

Of course, most people just show up as guest stars.

It's a party play. When Gail gado and Carla Firth come over, they'll be informed that they're ready to take part in the shooting.

The play to be shot is not difficult. Both Murphy and Gail gado appear in the film as they are in real life. They accept the invitation and come to the party held by James Franco. They leave early because of something. Then the world changes dramatically. Good people are protected by the light from the sky and enter heaven smoothly. The notorious guys like Stanton gangsters are very happy However, he continued to do evil in the world like purgatory."Murphy..."

In the set, Murphy and Gail gado stand in front of Seth Logan and listen to him say, "you and Gail walk around the party, and then you meet Carla Firth, just chat a few words, say goodbye to James if you have something urgent."

He turned to Gail gado and Carla Firth and said, "just do what you usually do at a party, now."

Gail gado and Carla Firth nodded.

After getting familiar with the location twice, the shooting started soon. Almost all the guest stars, including Murphy, wore their own evening dresses at the party, and Gail gado and Kara Firth were no exception.

Murphy, holding Gail gado in his arm, wanders around the party and sometimes stops to chat with others. Seth Logan doesn't set the lines here. It's all about the free play of the guest stars. This kind of unlimited performance is also conducive to the improvisation of the stars.

The party is always going on, and the shooting is actually divided into two parts. Seth Logan and Jonah Hill lead a group to shoot on both sides that will not interfere with each other. Jonah Hill's plays with professional actors such as James Franco and Robert Downey Jr. don't require him to be an interim director, while those with mediocre acting skills like Murphy, Seth Logan, of course, had to watch for himself.

has a video camera. From the front side, Murphy and Gail make complaints about Seth and Rogan. He knows that Murphy's acting will be crazy, but he plays a role of a great director, but it is very conducive to the film production and promotion.

It has to be said that the stantons are influenced by Murphy to some extent.

Because they are all real-life characters in the film, and the performance also depends on the on-the-spot performance, Murphy and Gail gado are not far away from each other. Before they can find Carla Firth, someone nearby comes to say hello.

"Hi, Murphy."

A blonde girl in a sky blue short dress suddenly walks up to Murphy and Gail gado. "Long time no see."

"It's been a long time." Murphy tried to be natural. "Hello, Miss swift."

Taylor Swift turned to Murphy. "Hello, are you miss Gail gado?"

Gail gado nodded his head, as if attending a normal party, and said politely, "Hello, Miss swift."

"You are so lucky." Tyler swift said, "I can be Murphy's girlfriend."

There was a very secret irony in this sentence, and people like Murphy could hear it. They looked at Gail gado and said, "I'm the lucky one!"

Gail gado smiles and doesn't bother to argue with such a little girl.

Tyler Swift's embarrassment flashed away and said, "we'll talk another day."

With that, she takes the initiative to get out of the way. Murphy and Gail gado continue to move forward. Maybe the camera turns to the front to remind Murphy that she is shooting a movie

The existence of the camera has just appeared in my mind. The expression on Murphy's face is instantly stiff, and her steps have also changed. Maybe the naked eye can't see much difference, but when she is shot by a high-definition movie camera, it's hard to avoid a very big change from her just natural look.

“Cut！” Seth Logan's voice rang out, "Murphy, take it easy, be natural!"

Murphy nodded slightly and adjusted her breathing.

Seth Logan knew that Murphy would guide the actors in acting, but his acting skills were quite ordinary. He came up to him and said in a low voice, "you just performed very well. You forgot that you were making a movie and the camera lens. This is an ordinary party. You have to go to many parties every year."

"I know." Murphy adjusted his breathing. "Give me a few minutes to adjust."

Gail gado gently shook his hand. "Honey, calm down. Don't worry."

In spite of that, Murphy couldn't find a state in the later shooting. As a director, he knew very well how to shoot a play and how to act as an actor. It was very difficult for him to perform in person.

Even if he knew that he could be himself in life, he couldn't ignore the camera, which led to the interruption of shooting.

After breaking the original state of nature, for Murphy, this role becomes extremely complicated. In addition to playing himself in the film, he also needs to play another version of himself, which is like playing himself with another self. (to be continued). )
