Hollywood Road

There will be three shifts a day starting tomorrow, with 2,000 words per chapter, at 9:00, 15:00 and 21:00. Keep asking for referrals.

If you don't actually do anything, you won't find out how difficult it is.

The lights were rearranged, the actors were familiar with their positions again, and the crew was ready. Murphy, the director and cameraman, began to test shots. Just like last time, when Carey Mulligan turned his head, he called out again.

Everyone on the crew looked at Murphy, not knowing what he was going to do, someone like Carey Mulligan was already scratching his head.

She had been brewing emotions for a long time, but she only made one action and was called to stop, and she was inevitably depressed.

James Franco simply found a chair and sat down. He understood that it was a big collection of unreliable directors and another group of unreliable people.

Fortunately, his purpose is not characters and movies, otherwise, working with such a group of newbies, he has to go crazy.

He looked into Murphy's eyes with a bit of contempt. The so-called director said that he was beautiful, but in reality, there were constant problems.

That's fine, lest Carey Mulligan adore him so much.

Compared to James Franco, who has a weird personality, Jessica Chastain, who is a serious college student, is more professional. After Murphy called to stop again, she immediately came over to take the camera and asked, "What's wrong? ."

Murphy didn't think about it either, and blurted out, "Kerry's eyes aren't bright enough, and she's not bright enough, which will weaken the charm of the heroine's image."

"What?" Carey Mulligan apparently heard Murphy's words, pointed to his eyes, just wanted to distinguish a few words, but was interrupted by Murphy raising his hand, "Kerry, it has nothing to do with you, it's the lights. question."

The camera lens is different from the human eye. In the eyes of ordinary people, no matter how bright the eye is, the lens will be much bleaker.

"Eye light!" Murphy slapped himself on the forehead angrily, "Why did I forget the look light."

He sighed, it was all trouble caused by inexperience.

This is the first frontal shot of the heroine Hailey. If the eyes are dull, the charm of the whole person will be greatly reduced, and eye light is a must.

Movies like Hard Candy can impress the audience with the shining starlight of the actress.

Douglas, the lighting engineer, added a Fresnel mirror spotlight below the main light, which was specially used to create eye light for Carey Mulligan, according to Murphy's instructions.

After being busy for a long time, I finally achieved the desired light and shadow effect. Murphy felt a little relieved while having a headache. There are not many scenes to be shot in the cafe, and it is relatively simple. The biggest thing is shooting and lighting. question.

After adjusting the lights, Murphy deliberately asked Carey Mulligan to face himself, and took a random close-up. In the shot, Carey Mulligan's eyes were bright and innocent, and seemed to penetrate into people's souls.

Such innocent-looking, beautiful, and cute girls can seduce the criminal's mind and fascinate him, right?

Getting the lights right doesn't mean the crew can run smoothly.

This crew is full of newbies and has no previous experience of cooperation, so running in is inevitable, especially Carey Mulligan, like all new actors, it is impossible to adapt to film shooting immediately.

After restarting the test shoot, Murphy's background shot and the moment she looked back went smoothly, but when James Franco pushed the door into the cafe and came over to say hello, the expression on her face and the tone of her speech changed. .

As before, her emotions were too exposed, and even Lynch, the owner of the coffee shop, could see that she hated people who came over to say hello.

It can't be filmed like this. Carey Mulligan's Hayley should show her cute side at this time to seduce Jeff.

"Stop!" Murphy called to stop the entire crew,

"Half an hour rest."

Having been busy with lighting issues for so long, he also needed to catch his breath, drank a cold cup of coffee, and called Carey Mulligan out of the cafe alone.

"Sorry, Murphy..."

Standing in front of the cafe, Carey Mulligan seemed like a good baby who made a mistake, "It's all my fault, I'm not good enough."

Blaming someone like Carey Mulligan backfired, and Murphy instead asked, "Is James so annoying?"

During the previous rehearsal, Carey Mulligan had been able to restrain his emotions towards James Franco, and there was nothing special in the morning. Why did it suddenly become like this?

"At noon..." Carey Mulligan lowered her head, "He said a lot of nasty things."

She then looked up. "Murphy, I really don't like him. When we were rehearsing, he was always trying to please me, obviously."

"Oh?" Murphy looked at her. Carey Mulligan was innocent and rebellious, but not a fool.

"I think...I think James Franco is like..." She looked up at Murphy, saw Murphy give an encouraging smile, no longer hesitated, and said directly, "I think he is like a script Jeff inside."

"That's it..." Murphy didn't have any surprise, but raised his chin and thought about it. Carey Mulligan looked at him eagerly, his bright eyes flickering, as if waiting for Murphy to replace the annoying one for her. Dude, but after a while, Murphy said, "James does look a lot like Jeff from the script."

"What?" Carey Mulligan's eyes widened. "Is this true?"

She was just inexperienced, not stupid, and seemed a little panicked.

"Calm down, Kerry." Since Murphy said so, he naturally had a corresponding solution and reminded, "You forgot, Hailey in the script is facing Jeff..."

"And I'm facing James Franco..." Under Murphy's soothing gaze, Carey Mulligan gradually calmed down, and a look of thought appeared in his bright eyes. Timid guy."

Murphy looked at her with encouragement in his eyes, "We're going to have a lot of fun with James Franco."

"Yeah!" Carey Mulligan almost screamed, covering his mouth quickly, then through the transparent glass door, carefully looking at James Franco inside, and then said in a low voice, "I can use the sea Li's way to deal with him!"

"Just teach him a little lesson." A few drops of sweat appeared on Murphy's forehead.

However, he didn't stop Carey Mulligan. This is what he deliberately provoked, and this is not a movie. I believe that the girl on the opposite side will not do too much, and at most embarrass Fu Lanlan.

The benefits are obvious. In the face of James Franco and his Jeff, Carey Mulligan only needs to perform in his true colors, which will undoubtedly reduce the difficulty of the performance.

Back at the cafe, Carey Mulligan's performance in the filming was completely changed. Facing Jeff, played by James Franco, she fully transformed a girl into an innocent, cute, naive and a little sexy The side of the show was shown, and even caused James Franco to appear stunned during the test shooting...

Looking at Carey Mulligan, who was wearing a red sweater and looked like Little Red Riding Hood, with such a cute appearance and demeanor that day, James Franco almost couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart for a moment. Played similar games a few times, and although I have never encountered such a fascinating type, I can control myself.

"Cut!" James Franco was still in a daze, but Murphy stopped and gave the two actors a thumbs up, "This one is over. Jim, Carrey, you did a great job!"

This was originally a test shot, but the effect exceeded Murphy's expectations, especially James Franco's stunned confrontation with Carey Mulligan, which was extremely vivid and showed his urgent heart concealed by his elegant appearance.

With James Franco's current level of acting skills, it is estimated that it will be difficult to show the same performance again.

"This is the true performance!" Murphy muttered to himself, "If these two people can perform in their true colors, the effect will definitely be the best."

Just like Robert Downey Jr. was to Iron Man, when actors perform at their best, the characters are often very similar to their real self.

Occasionally it went well, but it could not cover up the various problems that existed in the crew of "Hard Candy". After that, the filming entered a cycle of making mistakes, making mistakes, making mistakes again. on the other hand.

After three days, the scenes in the cafe were not filmed for just a few minutes, and even only one scene a day was passed. Murphy could see it clearly. The reason why these people he recruited were cheap and their ability was fundamentally different. proportional.

Fortunately, he chose a relatively simple movie like "Hard Candy", otherwise, if he, a novice director and a group of mediocre crew members, went to shoot a movie with a larger investment, he would definitely kill himself.

During these three days, Murphy fully realized that watching movies, analyzing movies, and studying professionally in film academies is one thing, but shooting and making movies is another. , the distance between them is at least as far as Los Angeles to New York.

Despite encountering many difficulties, Murphy never thought of giving up, and it is impossible to give up now. He has already invested hundreds of thousands of dollars. Giving up means that all investments are useless.

Murphy was determined to persevere, but it was inevitable to be full of depression. There was another person who was as depressed as Murphy, and that was Lynch, the owner of Milton Cafe.

The crew was going to shoot, and the Milton Cafe would definitely be closed. When the contract was signed with the crew, Old Lynch thought that the filming of such a scene would take at most two days. He didn't notice that the contract prepared by Murphy had no time limit at all. After a few days of filming, I can't help but regret it.

Not only is his cafe unable to operate, but he also provides free meals for the crew, and all that goes out is money...

Fortunately, there are really not many scenes in the cafe. Before the old Lynch endured to reach the bottom line, Murphy finally ended the single-digit shooting here and led the team to the San Fernando Valley.
