Chapter 590

For example, the investment scale of this kind of film is limited and the time-consuming is not long. It is impossible for Murphy to spend a lot of money and time shooting in the studio, let alone using the time-consuming and labor-consuming digital special effects technology. Since rose has never left the city since he was born, it is undoubtedly the most time-saving choice to go to some places near the old Chinatown Choose.

For example, apart from the need to pay attention to safety issues, shooting in such places is rarely restricted by municipal departments.

Murphy also made his fortune in the downtown slums, where he lived in the Latin community for a long time, especially the first Stanton studio, whose house has not been sold up to now.

Murphy had a better understanding of the situation near old Chinatown before, but in recent years, except for meeting rose several times in the past, he has hardly gone back. It is necessary to make a field investigation before shooting.

It's definitely not Murphy himself to investigate the shooting. Philip Raschel and Helena espora are indispensable. The photography director and art director must also look at the actual situation of the intended shooting place.

And Gail gado, if Murphy and others decide on a suitable shooting site, she needs to negotiate with the site management.

Accompanied by several bodyguards, the party took a business car and went into the city center, circling the old Chinatown for several times.

"There's no improvement in law and order here."

Sitting in the car, looking at a community far more chaotic than the suburbs, Helena espora shook her head. "It's not better than it used to be."

She first came to Los Angeles and lived in this area.

The car stopped in front of a dilapidated bar. Murphy lowered the window, pointed to the unimportant store and said, "this is the bar that Diego Ross often comes to. The location of the bar can be shot here, and the interior..."

Murphy looked at Gail gado. "You take my business card and talk to the boss. It shouldn't be a big problem."

The boss here is also a friend of Ross, who knows him and Robert Downey Jr.

Later, they went to see the other ten locations that rose often mentioned in Murphy's memory. There were some places he had been to before. Although a few years had passed, the deserted slums were still the same as before, basically unchanged.

These places are not suitable for direct shooting, Murphy must let Helena espora make certain background adjustment.

It was only in the middle of the afternoon that the field trip came to an end. Murphy asked other people to go back first and drove a car to see where they used to live and work.

Because there was other work to do, Gail gado didn't follow. Seeing Murphy get into the driver's seat of another SUV, he took out his cell phone, dialed a number and whispered, "follow up."

Several bodyguards followed Murphy in another SUV.

Through the rear-view mirror, Murphy can see the bodyguards coming up, but he doesn't say anything. After all, he hasn't been here for several years, and he doesn't know what's going on in that Latin community. It's more reassuring to have bodyguards.

Turn around a trident and enter the Latin community. Drive all the way to the innermost part of the community. Murphy sees the small building.

The buildings here are more old, dilapidated and crowded than what he remembers. It seems that no one has cleaned and tidied them for many years. Compared with Beverly Hills, where he lives, they are the difference between heaven and hell.

Murphy is very clear that these two places are the best portrayal of the dual nature of this country.

Wearing sunglasses and baseball cap, Murphy jumped out of the car and immediately noticed that several people nearby were casting hostile eyes, and others were staring at his luxury off-road car, unconsciously approaching at his feet.

But another car stopped by, and the three men in black suits immediately let the smoke go.

Three bodyguards to Murphy's side a station, even if it is a fool also know that this is not provoking people.

Murphy didn't take care of this. He was very clear about the public security situation here. He left a bodyguard to watch the car and took the other two people upstairs. He found the apartment with his memory. From a hidden gap above the apartment door, he dug out the dusty key and opened the door.

A bodyguard led the first to have a look. After confirming that there was no hidden danger, he let Murphy in.

Murphy knew that they were ordered by Gail gado and did not stop them. Besides, he is not what he used to be, and it is right to ensure safety.

After entering this small apartment and looking at the almost empty room, Murphy turns around. All the useful things he had moved away when he moved. The rest are only the old sofa and the furniture that began to rot, and it also exudes a musty smell.

"You wait here."

To the two bodyguards, Murphy walked into the original workshop. In addition to the empty shelf, there was a desk completely covered with dust.

Walking past the desk, Murphy reaches out a finger and touches it gently. The dust is smeared out of a groove, revealing the mottled desktop inside.Murphy looked at the table and let out a breath.

How time flies! Editing that video here, designing and directing the police bandit show, in order to win the first step of funding, it seems like yesterday

Turn around and walk to the window. Through the glass, Murphy can see that the old hamburger shop is still there. At the beginning, he was poor and even had a problem eating. He could only eat the cheapest hamburger to eat. If he didn't succeed in the adventure, he might end up on the same road as rose.

Standing in today's place, no matter how you look back, the original adventure is worth it.

After a while in the workshop, Murphy came out and nodded to the two bodyguards. "Let's go."

Leaving the apartment, locking the door again, and going down the old stairs, Murphy suddenly thought that the property right of the apartment seemed to be in the hands of Murphy Stanton's aunt, who had moved to England, and had never contacted him.

Of course, Murphy doesn't have contact information.

"Maybe she's dead."

Murphy can only think so, after all, he can not contact each other, the other side has never contacted him.

As for the property right, it doesn't matter who owns it. Murphy never thought about selling this small apartment. After all, it's the best witness of struggling all the way from the bottom to the present position.

Once people get older, they will always feel the past, and Murphy is no exception.

Not long after staying in the Latin community, Murphy, accompanied by three bodyguards, left downtown Los Angeles and returned to Beverly Hills.

It's OK to miss the past and do it occasionally, but he won't be bothered by this kind of emotion. He still has more ambitious goals to pursue in the future.

Murphy soon got rid of the nostalgia for the past and continued to work on the preparations for the new film Diego rose.

"Misha..."

In the office of the Venice warehouse set, Murphy called his casting director, Michelle Williams, and asked, "is there any progress in the audition for black actors?"

It took only half a year from the preparation to the completion of the production of this film. Everything needs the highest efficiency. He doesn't have so much time for the crew to select the actors carefully.

"I contacted several and some responded."

Probably prepared, Michelle Williams put a list on Murphy's desk and continued, "Don Chandler called me in person and wanted to play, but his schedule is not very suitable. In addition, Will Smith's agent contacted me, willing to accept only one third of the normal film pay, but asked to increase the part of the role, to be equal to the actor's part

Murphy waved his hand. "Will Smith is fine."

Will Smith is great, but his family is known for their troubles.

He took the list and looked at it. "Don Chandler, too. His appearance is too simple and honest for him."

"In that case..." Michelle Williams thought about it and said, "of all the interested actors, theres Gibson is the most famous."

Murphy looked up at Michelle Williams. Michelle Williams said seriously, "the image of tyris Gibson is more in line with the humorous image depicted in the script, and has a good reputation all the time. There are few rumors about chaos."

As an old man who follows Murphy, Michelle Williams certainly knows why Murphy doesn't like to use black actors. Frankly speaking, quite a number of black actors are synonymous with trouble.

He added, "theres Gibson doesn't have a high demand for the film's remuneration. If we negotiate, we can get it done for about $500000."

"Tyris Gibson?"

This reputation is familiar. Murphy looks through the materials, and Michelle Williams explains, "tiris Gibson is from Los Angeles. He has played Robert EPPs in transformers and Roman pyhess in speed and passion before."

After listening to Michelle Williams, Murphy immediately remembered who tyris Gibson was. He had seen both the transformers series and the speed and passion series, and the bald black man also had an impression.

"Well..." Murphy nodded. "You get in touch with tyris Gibson's agent. If you can, get him to audition as soon as possible."

In addition to tyris Gibson, the cast also invited several other black actors with good reputation in the circle to audition.

In addition, some other gang actors are needed in the shooting. Murphy simply asked Michelle Williams to post recruitment information on the official social networking sites of the cast Union and the cast respectively, and recruit some strong and fierce looking actors and extras.

In terms of props, guns and vehicles are not difficult for Hollywood crew. Besides these two props, there are drugs. (to be continued). )
