Hollywood Road

Today's three shifts, there are chapters at 3:00 pm and 9:00 pm, please recommend tickets!

"It's here, it's here."

Three vans, a slightly worn minibus and a black used Ford sedan parked in front of a detached house in the northern basin of the San Fernando Valley, and Murphy got out of the Ford and exclaimed, " Hurry up and unload the car, we're staying here today."

Makeup artist Jack Watson, lighting engineer John Douglas, props artist Mia Sucre, set designer Sonny Clegg, and three interns, including Paul Wilson, now have new identities - Loaders.

Murphy just rented three cars and didn't plan to hire a stevedore, let alone the rest of the crew. After saying hello, he took off his jacket and threw it into the driver's seat of the Ford. He was the first to go to load the camera equipment. The back of the van, opened the cabinet door at the back, and jumped up first.

The director leads by example, and others do not dare to neglect. These people are at the bottom of Hollywood, and they know that the multi-functionality of a job has always been a feature of a small crew.

James Franco, of course, had no interest in helping. He got out of the minibus and unconsciously walked to the rear door of the Ford sedan, but the window was closed, and Bill Rossis inside seemed to be talking to Carey Mulligan. Explain something.

"Murphy has hired a professional tutor for you, who is recommended by me..."

As if not seeing Carey Mulligan's expression, Bill Rossis said formulaically, "She will be there tomorrow at the latest, you have to maintain more than four hours of study time a day, and she will replace the next few days. I'll be with you."

Carey Mulligan's dissatisfaction was written on his face, "Can you not have a tutor?"

From the moment she entered the crew, she was like a bird out of a cage, free and happy, and the feeling of filming was also very good. This is the life she wants.

study? private teacher? A step-by-step life? Working hard for college? She really had enough of this!

Bill Rothys glanced at Carey Mulligan again and didn't say anything. Instead, he opened the door and got out of the car. He glanced at James Franco, who was standing on the other side of the car, and then looked into the distance.

At the end of the line of sight, you can see a bowl of clear water. The clear lake water and the blue sky bring a rare comfort. The weather here is much better than the dry urban area of ​​Los Angeles.

"Hi, Murphy."

He retracted his gaze, walked towards the van, and asked Murphy, who was carrying a few reels of film toward the house, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Thanks, we can get it done." Murphy waved a hand to him, "Just take care of Kerry."

Carrying the film, Murphy walked into the rented house and entered the living room through the entrance. Jessica Chastain was standing on the left side of the living room, directing everyone to put various goods into the two temporary storage rooms. In the room, the real estate agent named Wayne whom he had seen before stood by, constantly reminding the crew to be careful, so as not to damage the delicate decoration of the house.

Although most of the detached house is the same as when Murphy came last time, the scenes such as the living room and kitchen used for shooting have completely changed color. Long before the official start of shooting, he himself and set designer Sunny - Craig and others have been here many times, and they have also developed the background style of the set.

Sunny Clayton has been busy here for a week with two USC interns. With the cooperation of the professional team that Wayne found,

Several rooms used for shooting, such as the living room, have been replaced with new wallpapers, as well as sofas and table and chair coats, which have also been changed to Murphy's desired color.

To put it simply, the scene here should meet the needs of Hailey and Jeff's rivalry, and should be in proportion to the color of the two's clothing, so the overall color is mainly gray and red.

A good story is the foundation of a movie, but the importance of visual stimulation, let alone someone who has professional learning experience like Murphy, is clear to even ordinary movie fans.

After unloading the equipment and goods, and sending the real estate agent away, Murphy asked Jessica Chastain to take the others upstairs to choose their rooms. In order to save costs, for a long time in the future , the entire crew will live here.

The house is not particularly big, and it is impossible to have a room for each person. Except for Murphy and the hero and heroine James Franco and Carey Mulligan, others can only live in group dormitories.

There is also the issue of eating. With the end of the filming of the cafe, the free supply of old Lynch has also come to an end. Now Murphy can only pay for the expenses of the crew. For him now, a dozen people are at least a month. The diet is also a big number.

However, there are no actors who can be called star-level actors in the crew, and the catering does not need to be of high grade. Murphy's meals are based on relatively cheap food such as hamburgers and pizza.

Since it was already afternoon here, it didn't take long for the sun to drop below the horizon. After eating pizza from a fast food restaurant, Murphy went back to his room upstairs and continued to review the previously formulated shooting plan. After a period of filming in the cafe, he had a clearer understanding of himself, and he also knew that he still overestimated his ability. It should not be a difficult shooting plan in the imagination. Just the lighting issue made it difficult for the crew. long time.

Sitting in front of a desk, Murphy reviews the plans one by one, and there will definitely be many unforeseen difficulties in the future...

There was a soft knock on the door, and James Franco's voice came from outside, "Are you in there, Murphy?"

"Jim..." Murphy closed the plan and turned off the lamp, "Come in."

The door was pushed open from the outside. James Franco, holding a bottle of wine in his left hand and two glasses in his right hand, walked in to take a look, then sat on the small sofa opposite the door, and put the wine and glasses on the room. On the coffee table next to him, "Still working? Have a drink to relax."

Murphy put away the plan, walked over there, sat on the sofa on the other side of the coffee table, and was welcome, took the bottle of wine and opened it, poured a glass for himself and James Franco, and picked up the glass He gestured over there and took a sip, "Very good whisky."

"I brought it here specially from home." James Franco touched Murphy's glass and drank the small half glass of wine with a look of enjoyment on his face. "Excellent Scotch Chivas."

After drinking the wine in the glass, Murphy put down the glass and turned to look at James Franco, "It's really good wine..."

He can't drink good wine at all, but James Franco is definitely not looking for him to drink.

James Franco poured another glass for Murphy. Murphy saw the grinning face and asked directly, "Is there anything you want to do with me?"

"A little." James Franco paused, as if considering the words, before saying, "Murphy, I don't know why, Carey Mulligan has always been a little hostile to me. I told her There's a lot of opposites, and that affects the job. You get along really well with her, and I want to know how you did it."

He deliberately added, "If my relationship with her improves, the shooting will be much smoother."
