Hollywood Road

Chapter 347 Feeling Unbalanced

The crew is located in a temporary office by the sea in Santa Monica. Recently, a large number of entertainment agents have been haunting. Some of them can still find Murphy's office door, but they are all stopped by Rosa Rodriguez, who is acting as a temporary director's assistant. After coming down, this Latin woman's unusually strong figure shocked those entertainment agents with other purposes and the actors and actresses who came to speculate. [Gate of Mysterious Realm]

Since the official establishment of the project, quite a few people who have passed through the relationship have wanted to squeeze into the crew and get a place.

There were even people who came here in the name of Gal Gadot's distant relatives.

This is very common in Hollywood, and human relationships are unavoidable, and the best way is to avoid them, so Murphy specially invited Rosa Rodriguez, who is particularly heavy tonnage, to visit the door.

Of course, this is only for foreigners.

As the head of the lighting team, David Robbie could easily meet Murphy, but this time he came here, not for work.

"What's the matter?" Murphy sat behind the desk, looking at David Robbie who was hesitant to speak, "David, sit down wherever you want, and speak up if you have something to say."

In his team, David Robbie may not be the most capable, but he is relatively simple and honest, and he is as famous as Seth Rogen.

David Robbie pulled the chair across from the desk, sat down, and said, "That's right, Murphy, isn't the crew recruiting a large number of actors?"

"Yeah." Murphy nodded, roughly understood his purpose, and said with a smile, "Do you have someone to recommend? Just say it."

In terms of using familiarity and not rawness, this side is actually very similar to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Murphy is not a person who does not understand the world, especially the main members of his team. He will at least give the recommended candidates a chance to audition.

"Someone wants to recommend..." David Robbie scratched his head embarrassingly, "My sister took a long vacation to study acting in Los Angeles. It's been a while, but she has no actual experience in acting. Can you give her a Small character. [Fights Break the Sphere]"

During the filming, there are a large number of characters in background paintings who only show their faces and have no lines. There is not much difference in who is used, and there is no embarrassment in this kind of thing.

Murphy didn't even think about it, "Take her to Seth Rogen."

"Okay." David Robbie stood up, "Thank you, Murphy."

"You're too polite." Murphy smiled, frowned slightly, and asked, "Your sister? Margaret?"

He can still vaguely remember the blonde girl who rode a pony on the farm, and later played Nancy as a girl when she was filming "Sin City".

I haven't seen each other for so many years, and I have gradually forgotten the specific appearance of the other party.

Seeing that Murphy still remembered his sister, David Robbie quickly said, "It's her, it's Margaret."

Anyway, this is someone I know. Murphy thought for a while, and said, "Tell Seth, find an outstanding role for Margaret."

After saying this, he went back to work, and David Robbie happily went to find Seth Rogen.

The preparations for "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" are moving forward step by step according to the plan. The most important job at this stage is casting. Like David Robbie, Murphy uses The cast has chosen candidates recommended by friends or acquaintances, such as Geoffrey Baratheon, and the crew has confirmed that Dave Franco will play the role, he is James Franco's younger brother.

Although he is a bit older, Dave Franco is born with a baby face, coupled with proper makeup, the problem is not big.

Another confirmed candidate is Sean Bean. This British actor participated in the audition of the crew without thinking about it for a long time. He is also one of the most famous actors in the future crew.

Of course, his salary is also high, with a single episode reaching 400,000 US dollars.

This is a normal market situation. The enthusiasm for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has not subsided, and Boromir has also been sought after by many people. It can be said that Sean Bean is at his peak since he became an actor.

[Gate of Mysterious Realm]

Another important male role, Jon Snow, Murphy, through a wide range of auditions, determined a little-known rookie actor under CAA.

Under the same conditions, of course, Murphy would give priority to 'one of his own'.

All of Hollywood is doing it, and there's nothing wrong with it.

In terms of the two most important female roles, Lena Headey has not yet appeared in "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", and her own qualifications and reputation are limited. The crew did not spend much effort and cost to get the British actor.

As for Daenerys Targaryen, Murphy also left it to acquaintances.

In line with the point of view of attracting male audiences as much as possible and using familiarity instead of rawness, coupled with the positive response of the actors themselves, after two auditions, Murphy decided that Jessica Alba would play the role.

Although Daenerys Targaryen in the original book is petite and exquisite, Jessica Alba is not particularly tall, nor does she look quite burly like Charlize Theron, slim and slender with a beautiful and sexy appearance , is also very suitable for the requirements of this role, and George Martin has no objection.

As for acting skills, that's not a problem. Small-screen acting skills don't require explosive power like movies. Jessica Alba is enough to handle it, and this role doesn't need great acting skills.

Having said that, in Murphy's few impressions, the former Daenerys Targaryen may not have better acting skills than Jessica Alba.

In addition to actors and other preparations, Murphy also worked with George Martin to make final revisions to the script. The main revised scenes basically came from one character, Daenerys Targaryen.

The main plot about her will not change, and the character setting is also based on the original book. What Murphy wants to change is Daenerys Targaryen's too obvious cheating phenomenon.

In the communication with George Martin, Murphy learned that this is one of his favorite characters, and it is inevitable to be biased when creating it. Compared with other protagonists who are less familiar with the aura, Daenerys Targaryen is simply It can be described as frequent opening and hanging.

The other protagonists have had bad luck and tragedies from the very beginning. There is no worst but worse. They have never been lucky. Compared with them, Daenerys-Targaryen's life is like sitting on a rocket. If she is a little bit unlucky sometimes, then the plot will help her make a bigger hook to compensate her later.

Compared with other protagonists, Daenerys-Targaryen's line tends to make people feel quite unbalanced.

Of course, Murphy is mainly responsible for making comments and reviewing, and specific revisions will still respect the opinions of George Martin, the original author.

If this series can get on the right track, there is still a long way to go in the future. There is no need to have too many conflicts with the original author, which is harmful and not beneficial, and often compromises can often achieve better results.

George Martin is not the kind of stubborn and see-through person, and he also appropriately adopted some of Murphy's suggestions, which will make Daenerys Targaryen's road a little more difficult.

With the passage of time, most of the main actors were basically determined. Except for Sean Bean and Jessica Alba, Murphy did not use other well-known actors. Candidates are the main choice, so that the cost of remuneration can be saved, and more funds can be invested in filming and production.

Several times in a row, the crew will communicate with each other, and Murphy also confirmed that the crew will be divided into three filming groups, one big, two small, and three shooting groups after the initial run-in. He will give Paul Wilson and Seth Rogen the right to shoot alone .

The crew's preparations in North America are also coming to an end. After finishing the final work, Murphy is going to lead the entire crew to fly across the Atlantic Ocean to Northern Ireland on the other side.

Due to Murphy's continuous success, many people and companies in Hollywood are paying attention to his developments. When they heard that he abandoned the movie and chose to direct and produce a very unpopular fantasy TV series, most of them were watching with cold eyes, waiting for this. A cutting-edge Hollywood director who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth has a big fall.

"Do you think he will succeed?"

In the luxurious office on the top floor of the Warner Building in Burbank, Diego Harris looked at the new CEO Bruce Rosenblum opposite him and said, "Fantasy TV shows have never had a successful precedent."

He was very puzzled, "Why did he choose this subject?"

"This person's thinking will always be different from that of ordinary people." Bruce Rosenblum folded his arms, "Did you think that after being rejected by Warner and DC, he would choose a marginalized comic character like Deadpool? Can you imagine that "Deadpool" can finally sell 300 million US dollars in North America?"

Diego Harris shook his head, "I don't dare to think about it."

Bruce Rosenblum added, "Also. Can you imagine that after "Deadpool", he went to direct "Gone Girl", mocking all the values ​​that Hollywood regards as the golden rule, according to the normal situation It is said that such a film will definitely be boycotted by the audience, and the result..."

He spread his hands, ""Gone Girl" sold more than 220 million US dollars in North America, proving to us that the so-called value orientation of Hollywood movies can also be broken."

"Such a person..." Bruce Rosenblum slightly raised his voice, "Even if he chooses an unpopular subject, and no matter how anti-mainstream the film's value orientation is, I think he has a high chance of success."

Diego Harris thought for a while, then nodded vigorously.

"You didn't read the plan carefully at the beginning." Bruce Rosenbloom continued, "Only I browsed it roughly, and I still think that Murphy Stanton is the one who can lead the DC superhero movie. People who have come out of the trough and regained their glory!"

The disastrous failure of "Superman Returns" allowed him to take the opportunity to sit on the throne of Warner Bros. CEO. The DC comic film ruined the future of Bruce Berman, and it also related to his future and destiny.

"What do we do next?" Diego Harris asked.

Bruce Rosenblum said calmly, "I'll go to Murphy Stanton and talk to him." (To be continued.)
