The periphery of the set was quiet, and even Margot Robbie, who talked a lot, kept his mouth shut, because the shooting in front of the green screen had already started, and the progress of the shooting was not ideal. Henry Cavill had frequent problems, not because his expression was not in place , that is, there is a problem with the lines, and Murphy is already a little bit angry.

Not only Gal Gadot, but everyone who is familiar with Murphy can see this. They know that Murphy will not get angry easily, but they dare not make any noise. If they disturb the shooting, the consequences may be serious.

"Cut!"

Gal Gadot heard Murphy's voice to stop again, "Take a five-minute break, Jack, touch up Henry's makeup! Henry, you did a good job! But you can do better!"

As filming paused, Margot Robbie murmured to Gal Gadot, "That's typical Murphy."

Gal Gadot smiled, "It's better than getting angry?"

Margot Robbie nodded solemnly, "Actually, what actors want to hear most is encouragement, and getting angry indiscriminately is more likely to be counterproductive."

This is not the first time she and Murphy have worked together, and when she is in a bad state, timely encouragement is very helpful to restore confidence.

Sure enough, Henry Cavill's performance is getting better and better, and after another shot, he can gradually match Liam Neeson.

Like Margot Robbie said before, this scene is a conversation about anger, determination and revenge.

A bonfire is lit in front of a green screen, the flames whistling in the created wind, illuminating the faces of Liam Neeson and Henry Cavill.

Gal Gadot looked over from this side and could see Murphy standing behind the main camera, observing every movement and expression of the two actors, as if he would stop at any moment.

However, Henry Cavill, who was in poor form before, finally found his feeling.

"You are strong, better than I thought." Liam Neeson added dry wood to the fire, and said to Henry Cavill, who was staring into the distance, "You are stronger than your father."

Henry Cavill turned his head and looked at each other, "You don't know my father."

"But I understand the anger in your heart!"

Compared to Henry Cavill, Liam Neeson's performance has been excellent, "Your anger makes you forget the pain for a while, until you can't bear to miss your loved ones, and one day you will wish they didn't exist, so that you can let them go." Your pain is gone."

Henry Cavill showed a slightly puzzled look, and Liam Neeson said calmly, "I haven't always been alone. I had a wife, the love of my life. She was brutally killed. I learned as much as you do." You can't condone bad people, you can't be merciful to them, anger gives you a lot of power, if you can't learn to control it, it will destroy you, anger almost ruined my life."

"How do you deal with anger?" Henry Cavill asked.

"revenge!"

"It doesn't work for me."

"Why? Why don't you avenge your parents, Chris?"

These two sentences show the differences in philosophy between Chris Dane and Reina, and they will inevitably part ways in the end.

"Cut!"

Murphy stopped shouting suddenly, Gal Gadot saw him beckoning, and called the two actors over, then Murphy's voice came faintly, "Liam, your expression is a bit too much, aren't you A bad person, you are just sticking to your philosophy and the organization you represent. You think that evil must be eradicated and a new order must be rebuilt on the ruins. In Reina's heart, this is a very correct view, and I firmly believe that suspect."

Then, Gal Gadot saw Murphy turn to Henry Cavill again, "Henry, this time is very good, but I need you to perform better, you must express the anger and fear hidden in your heart "

"Sorry," Henry Cavill's apologetic voice sounded, "I didn't adjust well."

Gal Gadot can see that Murphy's requirements are very strict, even though this is a very commercial movie, he has not relaxed at all.

As a producer, Gal Gadot has had enough friendship with Murphy to know that the performance of the actors is very important to the whole film, because the whole film has a dark and realistic style.

This requires not only realistic characters, but also the fictional city of New York. Darkness, corruption, murder, and crime shroud the entire New York. Such a city fits perfectly with the theme of the film, stripping the crime naked. Showing it to the audience makes people feel that this is not a movie or a fantasy, but the reality in front of them.

The filming has been going on for so long, and Gal Gadot can also see that Henry Cavill's performance is really mediocre compared to action scenes. There are many scenes that need to express the protagonist's character and heart, and there are no more than ten or twenty NGs. , It is impossible to complete, and this scene is also the same. After shooting a full twenty, she heard Murphy yell to pass.

This is not to say that Henry Cavill is not dedicated enough. His work attitude is actually very serious. Gal Gadot believes that Henry Cavill's acting skills are young on the one hand, and the other is that he just regards this film as a film. The general commercial productions only focus on action and ignore the character's heart, but the style of Murphy's film is doomed, and it will definitely not work to play Chris Dane in the same way as other Hollywood commercial film characters.

Gal Gadot felt that Murphy should have a good talk with Henry Cavill. Perhaps he was too busy recently, and Murphy might have overlooked this point. When he went home, he could remind Murphy.

The filming was still going on, Gal Gadot checked the time and was about to go back to his office.

"Why didn't you watch it?" Margot Robbie asked in a low voice.

Gal Gadot replied in a low voice, "I made an appointment with someone from a third-party guarantee company."

Margot Robbie nodded, and after watching Gal Gadot leave, her eyes turned to the set again. Although there is no heroine in the last two days, she can not come here, but she still comes here on time every day Since everyone knows that she has a lot to do with the crew, she must work hard to make those envious and jealous people speechless.

Watching Murphy shoot one after another, Margot Robbie thought of other directors she had worked with. Among the directors she met, Murphy was not only the most talented but also the hardest working.

After the day's shooting, Murphy returned to the filming room. As in the past, he continued to review the footage shot today and adjust the shooting plan for the next day. As a director, he couldn't relax for a moment.

The entire crew must work under his coordination and distribution.

Murphy is very clear about what he wants on the set, and he has already made it clear to the crew what he wants. If what they present is different from what he confessed, then Murphy must repeatedly emphasize his needs , For example, what size scene does he need, what aperture, how much side lighting, the effect of on-site ambient sound, camera scheduling and positioning.

A day on the set is like a set of dominoes, from the arrival of personnel, setting up the scene, lighting up, setting up camera positions, actor makeup, walking, to shooting, recording, script monitoring, collecting materials, reviewing materials and preparing for the next day. Shooting, if one of the links is down, the subsequent progress will have to follow.

Sometimes, the pressure on the set made it difficult for Murphy to see some things clearly, and even unable to feel what was happening in front of him.

Fortunately, Gal Gadot took over the production and financial issues, which did not take up too much of Murphy's energy, but sometimes, under pressure, Murphy would feel exhausted as soon as he arrived on the set. The extra energy is to experience the moment of the performance, which is obviously a team, but in fact it is a one-person battle.

The scene props are wrong, the lighting is not ideal enough, the camera position is wrong, and the camera scheduling cannot be connected.

The resulting effect was too far from the initial design effect, and he couldn't make do with it, which drove him crazy.

Because of this, it is better to stop shooting.

In fact, after working as a director for so many years, under the huge pressure, he also felt impulsive in his heart.

But this was the path he chose, and he persisted in the end.

At the very beginning, he, the director, was responsible for all the work and knots inside and outside the crew. Fortunately, friends came to help one after another, and then we have the mature production team now.

However, the team has always made progress. For example, this time, Philip Lascher had an accident. Because his assistant was poached, the crew was not running smoothly. Murphy was also reminded to always pay attention to replenishing the most important creative positions.

What kind of creator is considered excellent? qualified? Are the existing personnel perfectly suitable? Murphy is also watching the status of each member of the core team.

First of all, the crew must understand and accept these responsibilities he has for this project, understand the importance of the work, and ideally, the people he chooses need to have the same values.

In addition, the positioning type of this film, the concept of the story, what angle should be used to understand the story, how to present it, who in the team can be competent for these tasks, whether his style fits the film, how to go about it communicate.

Ability, each perform their own duties, generally organized according to reasonable norms, and use their majors to contribute practical ideas and suggestions to the crew.

When the director is busy instructing the actors, the director of photography will lead the technical staff to make various necessary decisions. The technical staff should ask the director of photography instead of the director. The executive director, executive producer and cinematographer Directing should share unnecessary burdens for the director, and the director only needs to devote his energy to directing the shooting.

It was completely dark before Murphy and Gal Gadot took a car back to Beverly Hills. Gal Gadot briefly described what he found during the day and said to Murphy, "I think you should go with Talk to Henry Cavill."
