Chapter 588

On an ordinary Monday morning, several cars arrived at wave manor one after another. When the security personnel at the entrance of the manor saw the license plate and the people sitting in the driver's seat, they didn't go up to ask. They directly opened the door and let them enter the manor. Four luxury cars, Bentley, Acura, Lamborghini and Rolls Royce, seemed to have made an appointment in advance and parked in the parking lot in front of the white villa.

Robert Downey Jr. took the lead to get off the Acura car and walk towards the door of the villa. Seth Logan, Jonah hill and James Franco also got off their cars and followed.

When they arrived at the door of the villa, Gail gado, who had been informed by the guard, was waiting here.

"Why are you here?" Gail gado looked at the four little Robert Downey in surprise. "Have you had breakfast?"

Robert Downey Jr. took off his sunglasses and said, "not yet."

"Just in time." Jonah Hill said, "you didn't have breakfast, did you?"

Seeing Gail gado nodding, he was not polite at all. "It's time to have breakfast together."

Gail gado turned to the housekeeper and said, "come on, let's go to the restaurant."

These people are not polite. They follow Gail gado and walk towards the restaurant.

"Where's Murphy?" James Franco asked curiously, "isn't this guy up yet?"

Gail gado pushed open the door of the dining room. When four people came in, he said, "sit down. When you came, Murphy was doing morning exercises in the back. Now she's taking a shower. She'll be down in a minute

Robert donnella, Jr. opened his chair and sat on the left side of the long dining table

"Not as good as before." Gail gado picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for everyone. "Now work is not very busy. There is still time. When work gets busy..."

She shook her head.

As all of you know, Murphy's achievements today are mainly due to his talent in this field, and the hard work after tomorrow is also an important factor that cannot be ignored.

Several people chatted for a while. Some servants brought breakfast one after another. As soon as breakfast arrived, Murphy pushed the door into the restaurant.

"You guys, it's so early."

He came to Gail gado, opened his chair, took a sip of milk, and then asked, "come here so early, what's up?"

"I hear your breakfast is good." James Franco swallowed the bread in his mouth. "We have an appointment to come and have breakfast together."

How could Murphy believe that, "my breakfast here is mainly vegetarian. Would you be interested?"

"Vegetarianism is also good." Seth Logan looked down at his growing stomach. "You can lose weight."

Little Robert Downey is probably not very hungry, put down his knife and fork, seriously said, "Murphy, we are here, of course, to see you."

"Go ahead." Murphy didn't look up. "When are you going to be polite to me?"

"Your new project..." "We all want to join your new project," he said

James Franco also said, "we can all join."

"Are there any funny characters?" Jonah Hill's eyes widened. "This kind of role is exclusive to me. How can I do without such a role?"

Seth Logan helped his glasses. "If there is no suitable role, I can be your assistant director, and my post production is almost finished."

"You..." Murphy shook his head and said half jokingly, "I can't afford to pay you."

The estimated production cost of the whole project is only 25 million US dollars, which is not enough to pay the four of them.

Robert Downey, Jr. looked at Murphy and said seriously, "we've already discussed that everyone will only get a symbolic $100000 reward."

When Murphy was about to say something, James Franco said, "we all know that you didn't make this film for money or profit, but for friendship and commitment."

"We're friends, we're brothers, and we're willing to do that," Jonah hill, the most unorthodox, said

"Have you forgotten?" Seth Logan said, "we said at the beginning, everyone for me, I for everyone!"

Hearing these words, Gail gado's eyes swept over Robert Downey, James Franco, Seth Logan and Jonah hill. The friendship between these people and Murphy was deeper than she thought.

In particular, the words between the Three Musketeers and dardanion are impossible for ordinary friends.

Of course, working with one's own people is better than the improvised actors. Murphy has always been a decisive person and made a decision immediately, "OK! With you, I'm more confident. ""Murphy, I want to play rose!" Robert Downey Jr. doesn't seem to be joking at all. "This is a film about rose. The actor who plays rose should know enough about him. No one is more suitable than me in this point."

Gail gado turns to look at Murphy, who is frowning.

It's true that Robert Downey, Jr. knows Ross better. At present, Ross is serving a sentence in California state prison. It's very inconvenient to communicate with the actors. It's very risky to find an actor who hardly knows Ross.

In this respect, Robert Downey Jr. is the most suitable.

But Murphy also has doubts. Ross is a typical Latino, not Robert Downey Jr. Ross is tall, but Robert Downey Jr. is obviously short.

But these are nothing for today's film industry, whether it is makeup or shooting technology, can solve.

"I think so." Murphy turned to Gail gado and said, "talk to Carla Firth."

Then he said to the housekeeper standing in the back, "go to my study and make four copies of the script" Diego Ross "on the first floor of the left shelf."

Seeing the housekeeper turn away, Murphy turns and says, "each of you has a copy of the script. Seth, no major role is suitable for you. You are the first deputy director. I will send a project plan to your email later. "

"All right." Seth Logan nodded.

After breakfast, he gave everyone a copy of the script, and Murphy explained some precautions one by one. Robert Downey Jr. and others left one after another and began to prepare for the project.

Gail gado then drove out to meet Carla Firth at 20th century fox. Murphy hid in his study. After confirming that Robert Downey Jr. is the leading actor and plays their good friend Diego Ross, he needs to prepare the information of the role from the perspective of an actor.

It's easy for screenwriters to simplify the logic of the story, resulting in the design of "because of a, so B". When actors see the script, they will think and feel the character from more dimensions, asking questions in detail - what family the protagonist is, what hobbies he has, how he likes to talk, what little actions he has, how many times he has fallen in love, and how many friends he has

Although little Robert Downey has a certain degree of understanding of rose, it is far less than Murphy. Murphy will add more detailed basic information about rose to little Robert Downey's role play.

This information has been organized into a simple biography by Murphy.

In order to help the actor "enter" the role thoroughly and experience every meticulous emotion, the role script of course needs to understand all aspects of the role.

At this time, the character biography can come in handy. Although many details may not be written in the script, it can help the actor to improve his imagination of the characters.

For example, many people go to see biographical movies and pay attention to the unimportant actions of the characters -

"why does he cross his legs?"

"Why does he stand so straight?"

"Why smile first and then slap?"

These are not random addition, often from the personal habits of the role prototype.

In order to get the biography, Murphy also needs to consider the relationship between the characters. As the actor of rose is Robert Downey Jr., the relationship between him, Robert Downey Jr. and rose must be taken out completely. He must not appear in the film. He did the same thing before. The play ended with Ross entering prison for the first time, and they didn't know each other at that time.

There is another point that Murphy pays special attention to in every stage of script creation, that is, the protagonist's initiative and passivity. Passivity is the protagonist's taboo. If he is used all the time and becomes a chess piece, it will hurt the characters.

Murphy can't deny that rose has suffered a lot of unfair treatment, but it is his own initiative to take the road.

Here, the script is close to the final draft, and Murphy needs to do the last thing. In the whole plot of the script, whether the choice of characters arranged for the need of the plot is faithful to the character of the characters.

Most Hollywood writers, including Murphy, like to calculate the rhythm: here the protagonist needs misunderstanding, there the protagonist needs to make up, and where the role needs to be funny. Therefore, the role is led by the demand, crying, laughing, losing the consistency of character and emotion.

So it becomes a common Hollywood commercial film, not the biography that Murphy wants.

In the end, Murphy wrote a line on the script for himself - Biography should be an organic combination of "history" and "art"!

After the final script is finalized, Gail gado talks with 20th century fox on a series of issues, including investment, preparation, production and distribution. Murphy gathers his own team to make final preparations for the film.

Before that, although Murphy had made biographical films like Wall Street wolf, Jordan Belfort was different from rose. At that time, his films were more for commercial considerations, while Rose's film had relatively less commercial elements, so Murphy naturally considered more about the theme and other aspects.Sometimes, when people think too much, they will create problems for themselves.
