Hollywood Road

All eyes turned to Frank Miller, who is not so closely connected with Hollywood.

"I think there is someone who is very suitable, and there is no need to wait or delay the shooting." Frank Miller seemed to have thought about it when he came over. "These days there is a little girl on the set who often asks me for some advice about filming... Well, the problem with the Sin City comics, she's very quick thinking, I think I can give it a try."

Paul Wilson immediately thought who it was, "You mean David's sister?"

Frank Miller nodded, "This role doesn't require great acting skills, as long as it's not nervous... I don't think that little girl will suffer from stage fright."

Murphy and Erica Steinberg exchanged opinions in a low voice, and waved to the front, "David, come here."

David Robbie put down the work at hand and walked over immediately. Murphy said a few words to him briefly. David Robbie seemed a little embarrassed, "Maggie has a wild temper, I don't guarantee that she will agree."

"Give it a try." Murphy said to Bill Rossis again, "Go and contact us to see if you can find a suitable candidate."

Having already made one mistake, Murphy certainly wouldn't go ahead and hang himself from a tree.

Leaving the filming set, David Robbie quickly found his sister who was bored playing handheld games in a corner of the studio.

"Ask me to act?" Margaret was surprised after hearing his report, "I have never studied acting!"

"There's something wrong with the little cast," David Robbie persuaded, "just to let you go and try."

Margaret turned off the game console and seemed to be thinking seriously.

David Robbie said again, "You should help me."

Looking up at her brother, Margaret nodded lightly, "Okay then."

She followed David Robbie into the set, and saw Murphy first, and Murphy nodded to her, "Don't be nervous..."

Margaret shrugged, as carefree as ever, "I'm never nervous."

"Jack, take Maggie to make up." Murphy called his makeup artist over, "She is about the same size as Nicky Milton, and the costume should still be usable. After putting on the makeup, I want to see the tape." makeup effect."

Acting in a movie is not something that can be counted by simply pulling someone over.

Teenage Nancy is a close-up character, not a passer-by who acts as a backdrop.

Murphy and the others returned to the director's monitor to discuss the next step of shooting, and David Robbie followed.

He was still a little worried, and when the discussion among Murphy and the others was suspended, he asked, "Murphy, is Maggie suitable? She has never studied acting."

"I'll know right away." Murphy glanced at his watch, "If it's not suitable, let's not force it."

About 20 minutes later, Margaret was brought out of the dressing room by Jack Watson. Her denim outfit was gone, and she was replaced by a light-colored double-shoulder dress, which was originally casually combed into a ponytail. The blond hair, which has also been carefully groomed, falls smoothly over the shoulders.

Compared with Nicky Milton, who performed well in the audition, Margaret's eyebrows are a little less weak, with a unique kind of firmness.

"Fili!"

After Murphy greeted, Philip Raschel immediately asked his photography assistant to go over and brought Margaret to the camera lens. He operated the high-definition digital camera and gave Margaret facial close-ups, full-body close-ups, and distant shots respectively. Shooting with a different lens than close-up shots, the shooting effect was immediately transmitted to the director's monitor on Murphy's side.

"Hmm..." Frank Miller nodded first after seeing it, "Very good!"

Murphy is not the only one who has preconceived notions, and Frank Miller is no exception, and this is the candidate he recommended, so he must support him immediately.

After seeing a few shots side by side, Murphy thought it was just okay. Margaret might be due to the temperament she developed since she was a child. The effect of wearing makeup is not very good, and it is not too bad. According to the audition standards , which is a passing score of sixty.

"What do you think?" Murphy asked Erica Steinberg.

For a child actor, the production team has been delayed for almost a day. If possible, Erica Steinberg didn't want to waste any more time. He nodded and said, "The makeup effect is not bad, try it."

Murphy squeezed his chin, looked at Margaret in the camera for a while, and then slapped his palm hard, "Attention everyone, try to take one!"

He left the director's seat, walked into the middle of the set, and called Robert Downey Jr. and Reese, who played the senator's son, over.

"Maggie, I'll try shooting later." Murphy looked at the girl, "These two are your partners, he is Robert Downey Jr., and he is Reese Oxon."

Both actors greeted Margaret friendly.

Margaret is not stage fright at all, she just looks around curiously, standing in front of the green screen background and the camera lens, the feeling is completely different from looking outside.

"Maggie, you were taken away by Riise," Murphy seized the time to tell Margaret, "and then you were rescued by Donnie..."

After explaining the requirements of the role carefully, he personally demonstrated Nancy's role position. Here Margaret doesn't need to move too much, but there is a relatively simple position change.

Afterwards, Robert Downey Jr. and Riise were brought together to guide Margaret to familiarize herself with the position.

Half an hour later, Murphy stood behind the director's monitor and said, "Begin the test shoot!"

Locke hugged Margaret and ran onto the green screen arranged in the shape of a small pier bridge. Robert Downey Jr. in a windbreaker chased him up with a pistol and blocked him on the bridge.

"Lock, surrender!" Downey pointed the gun at Riise, "Let go of that girl!"

"You can't touch me, Hardy!" Lise said sternly, "You know who I am and my father's identity, so you dare not touch me!"

"I do not care!"

The gun in Donnie's hand was pointed at Riise. Riise let out a scream, fell to the ground, and let go of Margaret. Just like what Murphy explained and the previous drill, Margaret hurriedly crawled to the ground. When I got to the edge of the "bridge", I hid beside a circular green screen pier and looked at the two people.

Fili-Rascher's main camera immediately pans to give her a close-up.

Seeing this scene on the monitor screen, Murphy shook his head and shouted directly, "Stop!"

Calling to stop the test shoot, Murphy walked into the set and waved to Margaret, who looked confused and didn't know what was going on, "Maggie."

"Oh," Margaret stood up and came over, "is it my fault?"

She has been in the crew for several days, knowing that the director called to stop, it is usually because of problems in the shooting, and the actors who have the most problems are usually the actors.

Margaret was just a novice who was temporarily pulled over for a try. Murphy called her over and said, "Maggie, what should a girl look like when she sees two men shooting each other with guns?"

"Excited? Scared?" Margaret asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, it's just fear." Murphy reminded, "You weren't afraid just now."

"Scared..." Margaret scratched her face, and said in embarrassment, "I haven't been afraid for several years, so I have to think about it."

Murphy gave her ten minutes to get her feel. After all, Margaret hadn't studied professionally as an actor, and her performance after ten minutes was still mediocre, but Bill Rossis and Erica Steinberg and other actors The contact with the young actors who had passed the audition was not smooth, and a suitable actor could not be found in a short time.

Children are uncontrollable factors in the crew, which is recognized by all crews. Those young actors with good psychological quality and some acting skills are scarce resources in Hollywood.

Hearing the news from Bill Rosses and Erica Steinberg, Murphy restrained himself. Margaret's acting skills are indeed terrible, but she is more suitable than the previous Nikki Milton. She is a little No stage fright, no idea what nervousness is.

Like Nicky Milton, she does have some acting skills, but the problem is that her psychological quality is not good enough. She performed well in the audition with a camera and a few people, but when she went to the real shooting surrounded by cameras on the set, she actually broke down emotionally. Unable to continue using.

Fortunately, Margaret has no acting skills, but she is a smart girl who can find the problem from the mistakes. During the last test shoot of the day, Murphy directly shouted it through. There is no need to re-shoot this one, and you can directly Used as material for post-production.

Of course, this will not be available until the crew signs a contract with Margaret and her guardian in the United States, David Robbie.

"Thank you both,"

Margaret was very kind and polite to those who were willing to help her. After the crew stopped, she went out to find Robert Downey Jr. and Reese Oxon, "I'm dragging you down."

"It's okay." Facing such a sincere thanks from a girl, the two just smiled.

At the end of the day's work, Murphy walked out of the studio and got on a battery car. Just as he was about to start the car and leave, a crisp voice stopped him, "Wait for me!"

Margaret leaned against the wall on the left side of the studio. After seeing Murphy, she walked over and got on the battery car.

"What's the matter?" Murphy started the car and asked.

He could see that Margaret was waiting for him.

"Yeah." Margaret took off her backpack and put it on the seat next to her. "David has something to do. He's going to the entrance of the studio first. Can you give me a ride?"

The speed of the battery car was not fast, and it was slowly driving towards the entrance of the Disney studio. Murphy didn't speak, but just focused on driving.

"What do you think of my performance today?" Margaret asked suddenly.

Murphy replied casually, "It's okay."

"A few days ago I was watching other people's filming, but today I found out that the performance is quite interesting." Margaret seemed to be aroused, "Being in front of the camera, it feels very special to suddenly become another person. Riding on the farm is also fun."

"Really?" Murphy turned to look at her, Margaret nodded hastily, and said, "I've heard someone say before that a good actor needs talent. What do you think of my talent?" (To be continued.)
