Hollywood Road

Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a recommendation ticket!

Walking through the front courtyard surrounded by green trees, Murphy walked to the door of the main building. On the two tea-colored glass doors, there was a large movie poster, but the poster was pasted upside down, with the white side facing outwards. The crooked characters written with a carbon pen are extremely conspicuous. ＜＜≦≦﹤≤﹤﹤＜＜﹤

Just looking at the line of words, Murphy frowned, and the boredom and anger suppressed by work instantly rose in his heart.

He walked over, grabbed the poster and tore it off. The poster stuck to the door by scotch tape made an ugly tearing sound. The four corners were still attached to the door, and the rest fell into Murphy's hands.

Looking at the poster again, Murphy put down the suitcase in his left hand, and with both hands, the poster was completely torn apart.

The line on the poster is also torn apart-Murphy Stanton, it's over between us!

Pushing open the glass door, Murphy walked into the house and went upstairs and downstairs. The inside was empty. Not only was Carey Mulligan gone, but her clothes and suitcases were also gone.

It seems that after a period of conflict, the British girl has made up her mind.

Returning to the living room on the first floor, he took out his cell phone and sat on Changsha. Murphy dialed Carey Mulligan's cell phone number. It was still the same as before, but no one answered. After sending a text message, he thought about it, Bill Ross's number was called again.

After talking to Bill Rossis, Murphy put down his phone and waited. Although he still looked calm, his frowning reflected his current mood.

After living on both sides of the ocean for more than 20 years, this is still his first love.

Most people have an unusual attachment to their first love. Murphy's experience is a bit special, and he is still an ordinary person, so he cannot be exempt.

Now, his first love is on the verge of collapse, so of course he won't be in a good mood.

Within a few minutes, Bill Rosses called, "I also just learned that she moved from Santa Monica, and she is now going to the city, temporarily staying with Elizabeth Banks, when I called , and entrusted me to help her find a suitable house."

He advised Murphy, "You know her character, stop doing useless work, and don't let this affect your work too much. A few days ago, Erica Steinberg approached me, and he didn't say anything clearly, but It also implies that let me remind you not to let personal feelings affect the entire crew."

As Murphy said,

There are not many idiots in the crew. Jessica Chastain swallowed this dark loss because of him as the director and this rare opportunity as the heroine, but it doesn’t mean that others can’t understand what Carey Mulligan did little tricks.

After all, due to the success of "Chain Saw", most people are selling his face as a director.

Murphy turned his head. The poster that he had torn up was lying on the floor, and the words 'finished' could still be vaguely seen. He slowly let out the suffocation that had been pent up in his chest for a long time. It was time to make a decision.

"Bill, I know what to do."

When he said these words, he felt as if there was a needle in his chest, "You...you help her as much as you can during this time, and I will take care of all the expenses, if, if she wants..."

"Murphy, there is no if!" On the other side of the phone, Bill Rossis said in an extremely serious tone, "You know her character, even her parents will fall out and have no relationship, do you think she will regret it? Or do you think Will she go back?"

Murphy was silent.

Over there Bill Rosses warned him a few more words and hung up the phone.

In the office of the Death Star Building, Bill Rossis also frowned worriedly. Murphy had placed too many hopes on him, and he really didn't want to see him suffer a blow.

Undoubtedly, his most important client can always keep a clear mind when working, and has enough understanding of most things or interpersonal relationships, and can clearly see the conflicts of interest in many complicated events, which also shows With enough potential and ability, he was even considered as one of the most promising young directors in recent years in CAA's internal meeting.

The Murphy he knew had a very strong heart and an unusually firm personality. He also did not lack in hard work in studies and motivation to pursue his goals, and he could hardly see any obvious weaknesses.

Now, Bill Rossis is a little worried, Murphy's emotional intelligence...

In Hollywood, getting too attached to a relationship can have serious consequences.

He knew very well that in this circle, things like feelings should not be taken too seriously. If they were taken too seriously, he would only be hurt.

That afternoon, Bill Rosses introduced a real estate agent to Carey Mulligan. Unlike Murphy's confession, he did not do his best for Carey Mulligan, but lowered her future assessment by two. class.

In the beginning, he became Carey Mulligan's manager because of his old friend Julian Fellowes. Now that Carey Mulligan has fallen out with Julian Fellowes, he values ​​her later and pays more attention to her. Probably because she is Murphy Stanton's girlfriend.

Now, because of something trivial, because Murphy didn't do what she wanted, she fell out with Murphy again...

Although it is not sure whether Murphy's EQ is a problem, Bill Rossis is very sure that this British girl's EQ is very problematic.

Such a person, even if the talent is amazing, it is impossible to achieve much, let alone her talent is far from amazing.

Compared to Carey Mulligan, Bill Rossis is more concerned about Murphy, and worried that his current work will be affected because of the blow.

This is a production with an investment of up to 8 million US dollars. If Murphy messes up, he will fall directly into the abyss; if the film can get twice or twice the North American box office of the investment cost, then he will steadily move towards the position of a second-tier director. go ahead.

In this regard, he is as calm as Murphy, and a 50 times return on investment like "Chain Saw" cannot happen every time.

The next day, the "Planet Terror" crew resumed filming at the warehouse studio in Venice, and Bill Rossis rushed there immediately.

"David, your eyes are too bright,"

As soon as he walked to the busiest part of the set, Bill Rossis heard Murphy's loud shout, "These are two dying people, can they have such bright eyes? And Philip, let your The assistant snapped a close-up of Jonah's face!"

The voice was full of air, no different from the Murphy he knew before, "Jonah, Seth, this is not for you two to act humorously, you are brothers, you are going to die! Where is your brotherhood? "

Bill Rosses still noticed the difference from the past, and Murphy's temper was obviously a little bit bigger.

"Jack, touch up the actor's makeup! Reshoot in ten minutes!"

Seeing Murphy back behind the director's monitor, Bill Rossis walked over and asked, "Have a bad day?"

"It's okay." Murphy picked up the water glass and took a big sip. "Jonah and Seth are too relaxed. This is for making a movie, not for them to play."

Indeed, this film has a lot of playful and absurd elements, but as a commercial film facing the market, these must be done in moderation. If it goes too far, the consequences will be quite serious.

Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez in the past undoubtedly pursued these effects a little too deliberately. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that they are out of play, but the impact on the market is real.

After a few words with Bill Rossis, Murphy restarted shooting. After the crew experienced four weeks of shooting on location, the working conditions were adjusted quite well, and the rear shots were passed in one pass.

The two fat guys, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen, also used brotherhood to create a sensational scene.

In this regard, Murphy integrated a lot of opinions from Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen, and used a lot of plots that have been verified by Hollywood and the North American market. To put it simply, it is three vulgar spoofs and brotherhood.

Of course, these must be perfectly integrated with the film itself, and Murphy has also spent a lot of thought on this aspect.

Then there are the actors. No matter how good the director thinks, he needs to have the right actors to show it. Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen, these two guys, can always be serious and funny, and then perform in the funny A kind of brotherhood that is different from ordinary ones.

After finishing this scene, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen came to an end for today's work. When they left after taking off their makeup, they came over to say hello to Murphy.

"We're going to have a party at Jim's side tonight." Seth Rogen knew some of Murphy's habits, standing on the side of the monitor instead of leaning over, "Do you have time to go over?"

Jonah Hill knew that Murphy was in a bad mood recently, and surrounded him, "Go, we haven't been together for a long time."

"I want to go too," Murphy shook his head helplessly, "but time doesn't allow it. Miramax needs to confirm the schedule for the Cannes Film Festival, and Harvey Weinstein is coming tonight."

This is serious business, both Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen knew it well, the latter's simple and honest voice sounded again, "Then another day, another day we will go to your house for a barbecue party."

"Okay!" Murphy agreed happily.

He knew that these guys were a little worried about him, and they obviously wanted to help him out of this difficult period.

After getting along for nearly a year, Murphy also recognizes Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen and James Franco very much. They do have their own faults and shortcomings, and they will even be criticized by some Flag people disdain, but treat friends very loyal.

Murphy values ​​this more than anything else.

Therefore, their small group not only continued, but also joined Robert Downey Jr., who was even more despised by moral people.

After lunch, Murphy continued filming. Harvey Weinstein came here without waiting for the evening, and besides himself, he also brought another heavyweight, who was also a director Murphy once liked very much. . (To be continued.)
