At the end of the day's shooting, Murphy handed over the work of cleaning up the set to Paul Wilson. He walked out of Studio Two and was going to talk to Robert Downey Jr., who was working out in Studio Three, to talk about tomorrow's shoot. The filming of the movie is far more difficult than today, mainly because there are many rival scenes between Robert Downey Jr. and the girl Nancy.

As we all know, children's plays are extremely difficult to control, which requires not only the director's on-site guidance, but also adult actors to drive.

Due to the limited number of young actors who signed up to audition, Murphy and the crew finally selected a blonde girl named Nikki Milton, who performed very well in the audition.

The crew members were still busy in the No. 2 studio. When Murphy walked out, it was unusually quiet outside. The distance between the two studios was not too far. In less than half a minute, he arrived at the door of the No. 3 studio. .

Just about to enter Studio No. 3, Murphy suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the passage leading to the back of the Disney studio on the left, and couldn't help but stop.

He stopped and listened for a while, and the voice that was faintly present suddenly became louder. This voice was very familiar, and it was clearly a person howling in pain.

It seems to be a man, no... a boy to be exact.

There were no underage boys in the crew. Murphy immediately thought of Rutger Hauer's son Rein Hauer. Could it be that something happened to him?

Thinking of this, Murphy turned around and walked quickly along the wall of the studio. The closer he was to the passage at the corner of the wall, the more obvious the boy's painful voice became.

When he was about to reach the corner, besides these, he heard a girl's voice.

The voice had a thick Australian accent, and only one girl on the set had this voice, David Robbie's sister Margaret.

No matter how fast Murphy walked, he turned the corner, and the first thing he saw was Margaret. The girl turned her back to this side, with her hands on her waist, looking down at her front.

"I'm a country bumpkin from Australia," the crisp words with an accent kept ringing out, "I've seen too many people like you who think you are noble, you're just selfish, hypocritical, and superficial rubbish!"

While speaking, she raised her leg and kicked the ground in front of her again, and her little brown leather boots fell on a curled up person resentfully.

Margaret's front,

A boy is like a boiled prawn, holding his belly with his hands, curled up on the ground, and he is the one who howled in pain.

With this kick on his body, the boy let out another howl.

"Maggie!" Murphy hurried over, "What are you doing?"

Hearing the voice behind, Margaret turned her head and saw that it was Murphy. She didn't panic, and said naturally, "I'm teaching Rein-Hall how to behave."

Murphy ignored her, passed by, squatted next to Rein-Hall, and separated the two of them at the same time.

"S...Mr. Stanton..." Rein-Hall also saw Murphy, lying on the ground turned his face, and said in pain, "Quick...help me..."

Hearing this, Murphy felt relieved, Rein Hal should be fine.

"Can you get up?" Murphy grabbed one of his arms, "What does it look like lying on the ground?"

"I..." Rein-Hall looked past Murphy who was squatting, just in time to see Margaret behind him, and quickly shrank his neck, "I can get up."

Following Murphy's pull, he stood up, still covering his stomach with one hand, and hid himself behind Murphy's body, as if he was very afraid of Margaret.

Murphy looked at Rein-Hal, and then at Margaret. Rein-Hal was nearly a head taller than Margaret...

He shook his head and looked at Margaret, "Maggie, what's going on?"

"She..." Seeing Murphy, Rein-Hall seemed to have found a backer, half of his body flashed out from behind, and wanted to speak first, Margaret raised his small fist and shook it, and he opened his mouth again. He swallowed the words back, looking very afraid of Margaret.

Margaret put away her fists, met Murphy's gaze, and said, "Since we met today, he has kept calling me a country bumpkin, showing his superiority in various ways."

Murphy frowned slightly as he looked back at Rein Hauer. Rutger Hauer is a gentle old actor, and he left a very good impression on the crew. Son...

Did Margaret lie? It can be seen from Rein-Hall's expression. Murphy shook his head slightly and turned back, "So you hit him?"

"I'm really a country bumpkin," Margaret picked up her pockets with both hands, "let's solve it in a country bumpkin way."

She tilted her head and looked behind Murphy, "Who knew he was so tall, he was never beaten, and he didn't look like a man at all."

Margaret grew up on a farm in Queensland from a young age, accompanied by horses, hounds and vast farmland, with a character like a cowboy.

"Well, Director S... Stanton," Rein-Hall murmured from behind, "You...can you...pretend you didn't see this?"

Murphy looked back at him suspiciously.

"If...if my father knows..." Rein-Hall lowered his head.

One is twelve years old and the other is thirteen years old. This is two children fighting. This kind of thing is common all over the world. Murphy is too lazy to take care of it. "You two don't want to have a next time!"

Rein-Hall nodded, and Margaret shrugged.

"Let's go," Murphy shook his head, worried that he would fight again after leaving, "Go back to the studio."

Margaret followed behind him, and Rein-Hall intentionally kept a distance, patting the dust on his body as he walked, as if he was afraid that his father would notice something.

"Are all the boys in Los Angeles like him?" Margaret's voice was not loud, but Murphy could hear it, "They can only move their mouths and shoot, and they will turn into turtles when they encounter problems."

Without looking back, Murphy said, "You tell David yourself."

Margaret looked very responsible, "Of course I will be responsible for what I do."

Murphy took it as a fight between two children and ignored it. He went directly to Studio 3 to find Robert Downey Jr. and told him to pay attention to the child actress when shooting the next day.

But things didn't go as smoothly as expected. Children are emotional. Even though the child actor who was found for Nancy was already twelve years old, something happened.

Before the filming started, Nikki Milton was still in good condition, but as soon as Murphy called the start, she was surrounded by three cameras, her face turned pale from nervousness, and her body was so stiff that she couldn't make any movements.

"Stop!" Murphy yelled to stop the crew for the fifteenth time, and Robert Downey Jr., who was playing with the girl, was already impatient.

To be honest, he was also a little impatient. In order to reduce Nikki Milton's tension, Murphy reduced the three cameras to two, and cleared the scene for the next few shots to reduce the number of onlookers. Except for the necessary personnel In addition, few people can see the filming.

But she was still a far cry from her audition performance.

Murphy walked over and squatted patiently in front of Nikki Milton. Nikki Milton was opposite him, her little hands were trembling, and her lips were turning pale...

"Hey, honey," she didn't seem to see Murphy, and kept in a daze. Murphy tried to slow down his tone and said patiently, "Look, there are no monsters here, and there are no other people here. There is nothing like your family. The difference, we are just playing a game, there is a villain who wants to catch you, and he..."

Murphy pointed to Robert Downey Jr., "He's a good guy and will come out to save you. This is just a game."

From morning to afternoon, there was no progress in the shooting, and Murphy's patience was about to run out. The little girl seemed to have heard his words and nodded vigorously.

"Half an hour's rest!" Murphy yelled, and then nodded to the girl's mother and manager, telling them to come over.

Compared with a strange director like myself, familiar people like them can make the girl relax more.

Frankly speaking, he really didn't expect that the young actor who performed well in the audition would be so nervous on the set, not to mention that he, the director, tried his best to guide her, even Robert Downey Jr. was also driving her. , the problem is that as soon as the shooting starts, the other party becomes nervous and turns into a stone. Everything he did before was useless.

Murphy understood that when he auditioned, he only looked at the images of young actors and their good acting skills, but ignored that they were not adult actors, and ignored the important evaluation of psychological quality.

Not every kid with a talent for acting is as immune to stage fright as Natalie Portman, Kirsten Dunst and Christina Richie.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Nikki Milton was not nervous this time, but it was worse.

Just as Murphy yelled, the camera turned to focus on her. The girl opened her mouth and began to cry. The cry was unusually loud, and it spread far away. Her mother and agent came in to comfort her, but her emotions were obvious. collapsed.

"This is not the way," Robert Downey Jr. walked out of the set and found Murphy behind the monitor. "If this continues, we won't be able to complete a single shot in a day."

Murphy nodded slightly, and said to Paul Wilson, "Get Fran, Bill, and Erica."

Not to mention anything else, if the filming continues, the representative of the guarantee company will come and make trouble.

Frank - Miller and Erica - Steinberg quickly found over.

"We can't drag it on like this." Murphy frowned and said, "Substitute, if any of you have familiar young actors, contact one immediately."

Like most Hollywood crews, there are special notes in the contracts signed between the crew and the young actors. Once the filming is really impossible, the two parties can coordinate to terminate the contract.

"I know Kristen Stewart's agent," Bill Rosses said, "but it's hard to say if the schedule is right."

For this difficulty, Murphy still didn't predict enough. If the young actor dragged on for too long, it would definitely affect the crew's shooting plan.

"Is it possible to coordinate this week?" He asked again.

Bill Rossis and Erica Steinberg both shook their heads, and Frank Miller suddenly said, "I've got someone right." (To be continued.)
