With Murphy's behavior style, the project he directed would definitely give priority to his own people, so he immediately notified the other members of the Stanton Party members. He has enough power in his hands, and the Stanton Party members have also proved themselves with success again and again. Due to its popularity, as long as James Franco and others have a suitable schedule, they can appear in this film and take a lot of money.

This kind of call is not mandatory, and if they have other better opportunities in their hands, Murphy certainly won't let them miss it.

First of all, Robert Downey Jr.'s schedule is not suitable. He just finished filming "Iron Man" not long ago, and took over Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes" based on Lionel Wigram's comic of the same name. Starring the famous Sherlock Holmes.

Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill also didn't have time. The super explosion of "The Hangover" made the two leading the project instantly hot. They planned another comedy movie and won David - Investment from Ellison's Sky Film Fund.

The only one who has a schedule is James Franco. Murphy has already communicated with him, and it is basically confirmed that James Franco will play the role of Lieutenant Aldo, the leader of the bastard team in the film.

Among the remaining important roles, Murphy needs a young actress with no Jewish characteristics in appearance, Jewish or non-Jewish; a strong Jewish actor who is as strong as a cow. Dwayne Johnson, but there seems to be something wrong with this one's appearance; a typical Germanic blonde beauty, it seems that the best candidate for this is Uma Thurman or Diane Kruger, the former is taking good care of her confidant There's no time for buddy riffraff Quentin, who already has Bill Rosses sending out an audition invitation...

These can all be addressed through auditions.

For the other two important roles, Murphy couldn't think of more suitable people for the time being, so he asked Michael Fassbender and Christopher Waltz to audition.

In the past two years, Michael Fassbender has gradually become famous in Hollywood, and Murphy has also read his detailed information at CAA. This handsome actor can impress him. Attributed to his parentage.

Michael Fassbinder was born in Germany and is a descendant of German and Irish people. Although he now lives in London, he speaks fluent German. In fact, German is his first language and English is his second language. German with a British accent is a perfect match for this role.

As for Christoph Waltz, almost everyone once saw Christoph Waltz in "Inglourious Basterds" and asked, "Who is that Nazi officer?"

It is no exaggeration to say that before the movie, fans basically knew nothing about him. Even in Austria or Germany, he is not a well-known first-line star. After he became famous, what fans can dig, It's nothing more than a few movies of mediocre quality, in which he solemnly pretends to be a literary and artistic miserable green youth.

Almost immediately after sending out the audition invitation, Murphy received a reply. Whether it was Michael Fassbender or Christoph Waltz, they all agreed to participate in the audition, and they would immediately come to Los Angeles to do relevant interviews for the audition roles. Prep work, even if they haven't seen any scripts for the characters yet.

This is the appeal of first-line directors. For actors who dream of becoming famous, this kind of invitation is tantamount to a godsend opportunity.

Before Christmas, the crew of "Inglourious Basterds" was formally established in Los Angeles. All the jobs in the crew are old people who have followed Murphy for many years. A close-knit team is also the most basic condition for making an excellent movie.

With 20th Century Fox and Weinstein Pictures' first $30 million in funds transferred to a third-party secured account, preparations for "Inglourious Basterds" have officially begun.

The first choice is the choice of location. The two assistant directors went to Paris with Harvey Weinstein.

The possibility of field trips to film in Paris.

The second is the film, which is different from the previous "Man of Steel". As Murphy said, no matter what kind of medium he has in his hands, it will serve the film after all. This time Murphy chose to use film entirely. shoot.

The reason is simple. The film will be released before the next awards season. He is not only considering the box office, but also the impact on the Oscars. In the eyes of those old-fashioned Oscar judges, film is always the best carrier for movies. Using digital shooting technology If not, it will naturally drop at least one notch in the Oscar competition.

Then there are the actors. The crew first decided on James Franco as Lieutenant Aldo, and a comedian as Hitler.

Originally, Jonah Hill was very interested in the role of Hitler, but unfortunately his schedule was not suitable, and his body shape was also very inappropriate.

Since there will not be any war scenes in the film, the only action scenes are limited to a very small range. Compared with "Man of Steel", the preparatory work this time is relatively simple, especially this kind of scene involving history. The historical details that need to be carefully studied in the film, not to mention can be completely ignored, and there is no need to spend a lot of effort to investigate.

In Murphy's words, this is not history that once happened, but a universe dedicated to assholes.

In fact, Quentin Tarantino's works can completely form a universe by themselves. Anyway, it is always full of blood and violence, and all the characters are a group of complete jerks.

"What is Murphy's biggest purpose for taking over this film?"

In a restaurant in Century City, Margot Robbie with a golden ponytail looked at Gal Gadot sitting opposite, "You know that?"

Gal Gadot shook his head, "I didn't ask Murphy."

"You, it's always like this." Margot Robbie took a sip from the water glass, shook her head and said, "Gail, I'm not talking about you, you always focus on Murphy in everything you do, and you will lose yourself in this way. "

"I think it's fine now." Gal Gadot smiled, "Very happy."

Margot Robbie shrugged, did not continue the topic, and returned to the question just now, "Murphy is your boyfriend, guess what his purpose is."

"Honey." After getting along for the past two years, the relationship between the two is very good. Gal Gadot completely treats Margot Robbie as a best friend, and she has no scruples in speaking, "You must have someone who asks such a question. It’s better for you to guess.”

Margot Robbie was also polite, saying, "For a friendship with Quentin Tarantino?"

She then shook her head, "No, with Murphy as a person, he would do this for you and those Stantonites, but Quentin Tarantino hasn't reached this level yet."

Although it has never been mentioned before, Gal Gadot understands what kind of person Murphy is, and actually knows some of Murphy's thoughts about taking this film, nodded slightly, and approved Margot Robbie's words.

"For making money?" Margot Robbie shook her head again, "I've read the script, this is not a typical popular movie, even if it hits the box office, it can't be like Man of Steel."

Gal Gadot also took a sip of water, "Maggie, you know more and more."

"Don't always think I'm a wild boy from the Australian countryside." Margot Robbie is now exquisite and well-dressed. How can she look like an Australian cowgirl back then?

At least not from the outside.

"You are a beautiful big girl now." Gal Gadot praised, and Margot Robbie showed a little surprise, "You really think so?"

"Of course." Gal Gadot nodded slightly, "Anyone who says you're not beautiful must be blind."

She remembers very clearly that Margot Robbie is now seventeen years old and has gradually grown. She has a tall and sexy figure, a delicate and three-dimensional face, and is filled with a temperament that is exclusive to young girls. She is definitely a top-notch blonde. Beauty.

Let alone a man, even she, a woman, would be moved by seeing it.

Margot Robbie deliberately put on a smug expression, which caused Gal Gadot to laugh again unconsciously.

"I can't guess." Margot Robbie changed the subject again, "You must know!"

She looked at Gal Gadot, "Isn't it? Tell me!"

"I can guess some, but you don't have to take it too seriously." Girlfriends always exchange some little secrets, and Gal Gadot is no exception. She said, "Murphy took this film, on the one hand it is indeed Because of his friendship with Quentin, Quentin gave him a lot of help back then, and it was impossible for Murphy to watch him being sued for breach of contract by 20th Century Fox; on the other hand, Murphy filmed it for the judges of the academy..."

"The judges of the academy." Margot Robbie has been in this circle for a while, and there is an older brother like David Robbie, plus his mind is smart enough, he immediately understood what Gal Gadot meant. Huhu said, "I know!"

"Ah..." Thinking of Gal Gadot's ethnicity, she was a little embarrassed, opened her mouth, and swallowed the next words back into her stomach.

Gal Gadot could guess what Margot Robbie wanted to say and smiled, "Maggie, it's okay."

"Then I'll be straight."

Seeing Gal Gadot nodding, Margot Robbie spat out the words she had swallowed again. She had read the script and said what she said was based on the plot, "Murphy's filming of this movie can be compared to the Jewish people in Hollywood. The bosses said: I make a movie where Jews scalp the Nazis, don’t you think it’s cool? Not enough? Then make a fool of them with a group of stupid Nazis, and then come another stupid Hitler, shoot him a hundred times a hundred times, it’s over Shut down all the high-ranking Nazis in the movie theater, set it on fire, machine-gunned it, and blown it up with dynamite again, isn’t it enjoyable enough? Can you win an Oscar, can you give it to a few statuettes?”

"You..."

Hearing Margot Robbie's joking words, Gal Gadot laughed, not only didn't care, but also seemed to be in a good mood.

Margot Robbie was very happy to see Gal Gadot, she also laughed, and then said at the right time, "Gal, there is a Jewish girl in the script who doesn't look like a Jew..."
