Hollywood Road

"From the exposure of Natalie Portman, we have gradually discovered the truth of the world over the years!"

Whether it is traditional media or the Internet, Natalie Portman has briefly become the center of media focus. Similar news emerges endlessly. The tabloids have united the front, intending to drown out Natalie Portman with overwhelming saliva. A novel ≤≤\u003c\u003c≦≦≤≦\u003c\u003c\u003c\u003c\u003c

It is true that Natalie Portman is Jewish, and her mother's family still has some influence, but with the promotion of 20th Century Fox and CAA, and the tangible video evidence in Murphy's hand, she cannot be cleared at all .

After all, she is an ordinary Jew after all, and the media has neither the obligation nor the mood to help her clean up.

"Natalie Portman did not hesitate to seduce the director in order to get the leading actress in Murphy Stanton's new movie..."

There are also a lot of such news. Murphy's purpose is not only to fight back, but also to promote. Under the ingenious guidance of caring people, his new film "g", like Natalie Portman, has also attracted media attention. focus.

The public is also curious about what kind of film "g" is, which can not only attract the majestic Queen Padmé Amidala, but also make her drop all her shame and go for Murphy Stanton. Take the initiative to offer B1o.Job...

Of course, there are also some Jewish bigwigs in the circle who secretly expressed their dissatisfaction to Murphy through the channel of caa.

After taking a bad breath for himself and Gal Gadot, Murphy communicated with Bill Rossis and Kara Firth. The media they contacted and the subsequent hype did not follow Natalie Porter. Mann stayed on him for too long, and the main reason is to connect this scandal with the new film to make people curious.

Even so, Natalie Portman's reputation has been greatly affected.

"what should I do?"

Still in that suite, Natalie Portman was already at a loss, "Martin, what should I do?"

"Don't show up, don't speak, don't respond." Martin Miller said lightly, "Wait for this matter to pass quietly."

Natalie Portman said anxiously, "Then I won't be able to pick up work for a long time?"

Martin Miller nodded, "Don't appear in the public eye again for at least half a year."

"Then my career..." Her thick eyebrows twisted into an embarrassing horoscope,

"Our Oscar plans..."

"It can only be delayed!" Martin Miller did not hesitate, "It is the best choice to disappear for a short time now."

Natalie Portman is silent. As long as she can calm down, her mind is relatively clear. Not to mention the media now, even her fans have been lost on a large scale. The voices on the blog are almost full of abuse, writing The comments posted were so ugly that she didn't even want to read them, and even wanted to shut down the blog directly.

It is the best choice to dilute this matter with time. Natalie Portman knew this, stood up and let out a long breath, and said, "Martin, help me contact the school in Jerusalem, I want to go back to Israel for further studies."

"Very smart choice." Martin Miller praised.

Natalie Portman squeezed out an ugly smile, so that she could not only avoid the right and wrong center of Los Angeles and Hollywood, but also use this method to prove her importance to Jewish identity without any trace, so as to win back some people in the circle. The favor of some bigwigs...

She walked to the window and looked towards Century City, where the Death Star building was faintly visible.

"Murphy Stanton!" The name was squeezed out of her mouth sinisterly.

After the press conference, Murphy no longer specifically asked about this matter, and completely handed over the responsibility to the two agents, Bill Rosses and Grace, and returned to his own work.

As the wind changed, Charlize Theron responded as soon as possible. Her agent called and asked to sign a contract with the crew as soon as possible so that Charlize Theron could join the crew as soon as possible for the role of Amy. prepare.

There was no press conference, no publicity and hype, and no signing ceremony. Out of the need for later publicity, the two parties quietly signed an actor contract in Murphy's office.

"Welcome to join the crew."

Witnessed by the representatives of the Screen Actors Union and lawyers, the two parties signed a formal contract. Murphy stood up and offered his hand, "I finally found my favorite heroine."

"It's an honor to work with you, Murphy." Charlize Theron shook his hand firmly, "I am very happy that I can join an excellent team."

The signing was officially completed, and the rest was the work of lawyers and agents. Charlize Theron showed a bright smile, "Can you show me around? I also want to get to know the people in the crew earlier."

She knew that the previous hesitation would definitely leave a bad impression on the director Murphy. Unlike most Hollywood directors, Murphy was just a puppet in charge of shooting the camera, but a director who really held power. It is very necessary for him to have a good relationship.

Although she is an Oscar queen, Charlize Theron is not in a daze, and the other party has the full support of 20th Century Fox, so she cannot be regarded as an ordinary young director at all.

In the Hollywood crew, unless the director can really be bullied, it is better to have a good relationship.

"Let's go." Murphy led the way, walked out of the office, waited for Charlize Theron to catch up, and said, "I'll introduce you to the other leading actors, as well as members of my filming team."

After Charlize Theron signed the actor contract, all the main actors of the "Gone Girl" crew have been confirmed.

I took Charlize Theron around the set, and finally came to the actor's rehearsal, and met James Franco and Amanda Seyfried, who played Nick Dunn's lover. After a brief introduction, he accompanied Charlize Theron to watch a rehearsal.

Murphy pointed to Charlize Theron's shorts from the last time they met, and said, "You need to wear a vacation when you shoot."

"No problem." Charlize Theron nodded first, and then said with a little doubt, "Will there be any trouble with close-up shots?"

"During post-production, the special effects team will modify all your false lines." Murphy is not worried at all, "Digital technology will make you perfect."

Because of the needs of the plot and special editing, the appearance of the heroine Amy must please the audience. Now Charlize Theron is wearing a short style with a hard style, so Murphy asked someone to prepare a long vacation for her. In the future, almost all of her The fake lines in the shot must be modified with post-production special effects technology. The fake technology has not improved much since Shakespeare's time. In this movie, Murphy didn't think of any good method, but fortunately there is digital post-production technology.

When James Franco and Amanda Seyfried rehearsed, Murphy handed Charlize Theron over to James Franco and went on with his work.

The turmoil of the outside world has been put aside by Murphy, and even the cooperation of "Chain Saw 3" has been completely handed over to Bill Rossis. The two screenwriters hired by George Martin and Stanton Studio wrote The outline of the first episode of "Game of Thrones" was also temporarily pushed aside by him, all of which was to concentrate on preparing for "The Gone Girl".

Murphy would not leave the crew to the assistant director or producer, and no successful director would do this. From props to scene layout to location selection, he needs to ask about everything. Although the specific process does not need to be done, but Will definitely be responsible for the final review.

Also, some scenes in the script still need to be polished. After all, this is not a pure romance film. Since it has a strong suspenseful color, the fewer bugs, the better.

A movie, no matter how hard you try, can't completely eliminate bugs, but it's better to avoid fatal bugs that affect logic.

For example, when Amy was imprisoned by the rich ex-boyfriend, Murphy added a little dialogue. The rich ex-boyfriend would tell Amy when she just entered the mansion that the surveillance system here had just been activated, and the bathroom and bedroom There are no surveillance cameras or the like in the private environment.

Some things can be explained through dialogue, so as to reduce the confusion or doubts of the audience.

For many dialogues in the film, Murphy thought over and over again, and brought Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill together to find loopholes and areas that could be improved, and at the same time listened to the suggestions of the leading actors who started rehearsing.

The dialogue of this film can be said to be very, very important.

Murphy is very clear that dialogue is the most obvious element in the movie, because when the dialogue unfolds, the audience's attention is all focused on it. The most fundamental function of dialogue is to promote the development of the plot and explain where the characters in the movie go. From.

There is also a big problem with creating explanatory dialogue like this. It is difficult to write lines that can make the audience agree and convincing-the core problem is that in the real world, two people who have a certain relationship will not explain each other. things they know together.

So in many cases, it is much more effective to convey information to an outsider in a film than to have the character repeat what he already knows.

Every word and sentence of a well-polished character can reflect their own characteristics to the movie viewer, but Murphy also knows that movie dialogue and chat are not the same: in real life, chat dialogue is loose. So what he needs is not small talk in reality, but concise but undistorted dialogue.

At the end of the day, the quality of the dialogue is determined by the characters in the play, which is why it is so important to show the characters in the dialogue. If the characters are well-polished, then what they say must make sense.

Due to his rich preparatory experience, after the turmoil caused by Natalie Portman, the crew's preparatory work went very smoothly, and even exceeded the original plan. By mid-December of 2004, Murphy was ready to start filming up. (To be continued.)
