Chapter 83: Homicide seminar

Seeking collection and recommendation tickets!

In Murphy’s memory, the former director only took less than a week to complete the preparations and more than two weeks to complete the shooting. He didn’t know how the other party did it. Lionsgate Films also played an important role behind him. This is also a second-tier Hollywood company, and there is no doubt about its strength.

Leather bag companies like Stanton Studios are inferior to Lionsgate in any case. Except for Bill Rossis, Murphy does not have much support and can only rely on his own power more often.

By the end of March, Murphy, with the cooperation of Bill Rossis, had basically completed all the positions on the crew. Most of the people came from CAA. Unlike the crew of ten people in the early days of "Fruit Candies", the new project is only behind the scenes. The staff is close to 30 people, not counting the interns introduced by Paul Wilson.

Paul Wilson brought three classmates, even graduates of the USC Film School, there are not many opportunities to actually participate in the production of formal feature films.

In addition, Murphy's lawyer Robert will continue to serve as legal counsel to the crew.

With the arrival of the staff, the preparatory meeting was officially held in Stanton Studio. He, the director, will communicate and discuss the creation with the main creative staff to ensure that there is a unified artistic vision to guide the preparatory work. He also gave a director's explanation to all the staff , The purpose is to unify creative thinking.

After the meeting, Murphy kept the identified actors and discussed some things about the script.

He has been revising the script, but he is still dissatisfied with some things, and he wants to hear what the actors think.

In the study on the second floor of the studio, Paul Wilson temporarily served as a waiter, helping everyone to pour coffee, Murphy sat behind the desk, and James Franco and Seth Logan, who had walked closer recently, sat On the opposite couch, Bill Rossis was standing under a shelf where cameras and other equipment were placed, while Kerry Mulligan moved a chair and sat next to the water dispenser on Murphy's left.

"Everyone has read the script." Murphy tapped the desk lightly to attract everyone's attention, and said, "There will be all kinds of organ killing methods. These are also very important parts of the film."

He pointed to his head and said, "I can only think of a limit. Do you have more novel ways to kill?"

This sentence is ambiguous, making other people look at each other.

James Franco put his hands on his chest, with a surprised expression, deliberately said, "Do you want to kill? Who do you want to kill? Hurry up and kill, I will call the police now."

"Jim, this is not a joke." Murphy glared at him, "I mean it's serious, the mechanism in the movie kills people."

"I have!" Kerry Mulligan raised his hand. "I thought of one."

Murphy nodded to her, "Go ahead, Kerry."

Carey Mulligan's eyes turned to James Franco, "You can design a chair to tie the victim... like Jim, ah, I'm talking about Jim's character, tied to the chair."

The corners of James Franco's mouth were trembling, as if something bad was about to happen.

"There is a code lock on the chair," Kerry Mulligan continued, "If he can't open it within a certain period of time, the chair will pop out a knife and throw him..."

She smiled at James Franco, "castrated!"

Clamping his legs subconsciously, James Franco only felt cold in his lower body, as if a knife had really been shot out, and he stood up unconsciously.

After he stood up, he realized that everyone was staring here with strange eyes, opened his mouth, and barely squeezed out a smiling face, "I... I have some numb legs, stand up and walk around."

Murphy turned his head and looked to the side, Kerry Mulligan looked serious, but the smile in his eyes couldn't hide it.

"Anything else?" he asked the others.

In order to conceal his gaffe, James Franco took two steps back and forth, rolled his eyes, and suddenly said, "Murphy, don't you think Carrie's role is too small?"

It was as if he was thinking about Kerry Mulligan, "Her role passed the test too easily, and the way to find the key is to hurt others, not yourself."

Murphy looked at James Franco and nodded slightly. Hulanlan's words were not unreasonable.

He made a gesture of please continue.

James Franco turned his head and soon got an idea, "I think we can set up a channel between Kerry's character and the key concealer, and the channel is filled with..."

This role is to survive. Knife and the like will definitely not work. He has read the script and has to say that Murphy is very partial, so many people are dead, but the role of Kerry Mulligan is left.

"In the tunnel..." He thought, "It is full of needles with needles. If Kerry wants to survive, he has to get through these needles."

After listening to James Franco, Murphy picked up the pen and quickly jotted it down in the notebook. He didn't care if it was a grudge, he would use it as long as he provided substantial help to the script.

Carey Mulligan stared at James Franco fiercely for a while, then glanced at Murphy, and saw that he was taking notes and swallowing what he wanted to say back in his stomach. He chose wisely. silence.

Carey Mulligan said that he would not do anything that affected Murphy's view of her.

"Can you tell me what I think?" Seth Rogen raised his hand.

Murphy smiled, "Seth, don't hesitate to say if you have any ideas."

"Once I was in a chemistry experiment class," Seth Logan touched a scar on his hand, "dilute sulfuric acid accidentally splashed on my hand, the burning pain, I still remember it clearly. Chu."

He organized the language a little bit, "I think it is possible to set up such a device, a person is locked on a deadly device, and the key to save his life is placed in the sulfuric acid bottle beside him, and he needs to put his hand into it if he wants to survive. Inside the sulfuric acid..."

Paul Wilson, James Franco, Bill Rossis and Carey Mulligan all looked at this fat man. No one thought that this simple-looking guy would have thought of such a perverted idea.

Seth Logan raised Fu Xin's eyes and smiled embarrassedly, "I... I'm just a proposal."

Murphy took it down equally seriously.

Although the main point of the first part of this series is not on the organ killing show, it is also a good way to attract audiences.

Later, this brainstorming discussion directly turned into a homicide seminar. Even Bill Rossis said several perverted methods, such as hooks, chainsaw cutting, needle piercing, and other bad ideas. Everyone's mouth popped out.

Many of them are valuable, and Murphy will adopt them appropriately and continue to modify the script.
