The long corridor was dimly lit, presenting a strange silence. Footsteps sounded suddenly, and Margot Robbie in a smart suit broke into the camera, walking towards the camera step by step along the corridor.

Then, a camera controlled by Philip Lascher moved slowly along the slide rail, shooting Margot Robbie's silhouette from the side.

Margot Robbie kept a steady pace and walked to a large glass window. The glass window was completely separated from the corridor by an iron fence, forming an independent space. There were many people sitting there, looking at the front A guy in a dark red suit with a rather funny demeanor.

She turned her head to look inside, and Philip Lascher's camera lens, like the heroine's eyes, also turned to the room.

At the same time, another camera controlled by a photography assistant officially started shooting at the photography position in the corner of the room.

Murphy ignored Margot Robbie on the monitor screen, and turned his gaze completely to James Franco.

Fili Lascher's camera swept over Robert Downey Jr., Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill one by one, and gave the three close-ups enough, and finally stopped at James Franco's body.

James Franco looked like a complete lunatic at this time.

Before filming, Murphy told James Franco that his performance should be full of explosive force and crazy enough.

And James Franco did the same.

"Do you know what this is?"

James Franco took out a plastic ball of the same color as his clothes from his pocket, grabbed it in his right hand, raised it up and shook it towards the dozen or so people opposite him, with a crazy expression on his face, "You think this is an ordinary ball?" Is it a plastic ball? Huh? Is it? Do you think it is? Or is it not? Or maybe, maybe not?"

The dozen or so people sitting across from each other lacked interest in everything. Robert Downey Jr. was reading the newspaper, Jonah Hill was drooling at Seth Rogen, and Seth Rogen was in a daze... …

Few people cared what James Franco said or did.

But James Franco didn't care at all, and continued to shout, "Wrong! You are all wrong! You think it is a plastic ball, but it is not!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly shook his right hand, and when he opened it, the plastic ball was gone, and the camera lens randomly turned to his left hand, and the plastic ball appeared on James Franco's left hand.

James Franco held up his left hand, looked at the ball and said, "This is the key to chaos! Chaos and killing are the best medicines to save the world!"

At the most opportune moment, Fili Lascher's camera panned back to Margot Robbie, and a man walked up to Margot Robbie.

"He was also sent in by the police?" Margot Robbie looked at James Franco and asked, "I don't remember having any information about him."

The staff member quickly shook his head, "He's not, he's a magician with mental problems."

Margot Robbie took one last look, shook her head and walked away, thinking to herself, "A magician?"

Speaking of this, she didn't know why, but she stopped again, and instead of walking away as described in the script, she said, "Very strange person."

"Stop!" Murphy yelled to stop, and Margot Robbie quickly got rid of the role. Thinking of the final scene, she couldn't help but patted her forehead lightly, as if she made a mistake in the end, and probably had to reshoot , but unexpectedly, Murphy's words sounded again, "Maggie, James, well done! This one is over!"

Margot Robbie was stunned, "This one passed?"

Afterwards, she figured it out, and her sudden and spontaneous performance on the spot was approved by the director Murphy.

Behind the director's monitor, Murphy waved to the crew assistant who brought the water cup, indicating that he didn't need it for the time being, and then asked the assistant director to arrange the next scene. He rewinded the shot just now,

looked up.

Margot Robbie's last scene didn't meet the requirements of the script, but Murphy has never been a rigid director, and Margot Robbie's scene waved him, Margot Robbie and James Franco Can the play be dug deeper?

James Franco's magician will be the main character of the second part and kill Margot Robbie's Jay Rachel, making the whole story even darker and more gloomy...

This is also the main reason why the studio only signed a contract with Margot Robbie for two actors, and there will be no Jay Rachel character in the third film at all.

But now, from Margot Robbie looking at James Franco with interest, Murphy suddenly felt that Jay Rachel could continue to exist and have more intersections with the magician.

The magician is a crazy villain, but he has his own logic, and that logic is still attractive. If Jay-Rachel's original belief was broken by the magician, what would she do without the support of her belief? Should he become more jealous, or just throw away his previous beliefs and become a completely different person?

The human heart is always complicated. When faced with extremely difficult situations, people will always make some unexpected choices.

He can definitely increase the weight of the role of Jay-Rachel, and use this role to show the possible results of people's ideas and ideological mutations.

But a film has limited time, Jay-Rachel's role will increase, which will inevitably weaken the roles of other characters. How to balance each role without appearing unbalanced?

Perhaps, the role of another prosecutor can be eliminated...

This idea appeared in Murphy's mind uncontrollably, and it became more and more intense, as if he had to do it.

But Murphy is also very clear that if this happens, many stories in the second part will basically have to be overthrown, and many characters and frameworks will need to be rebuilt. The final fate of Margot Robbie's character must also be handled carefully. , Whether it dies at the end of the second part or reappears in the third part needs to be carefully weighed.

This kind of situation can be described as pulling one and moving the whole body.

Thinking of this, Murphy shook his head, and temporarily got rid of it. The ongoing filming is more important. Whether Margot Robbie's role is changed or not, he can wait until the film is finished, and he can calm down and decide bit by bit. think.

"Hi, Murphy."

Seth Rogen's voice greeted him from the side, and Murphy turned his head to see that he had already walked over, nodded quickly and said, "Are you ready to leave?"

They don't have many shots in the film, including James Franco.

"A few of them went to the set." Seth Rogen was not polite, pulled a chair, sat on Murphy's left, and said, "My new project is about to start preparations. After you finish filming this Do you have time for a movie? How about playing a part with me?"

"Me?" Murphy pointed to himself, "You know my acting skills. "The Hangover" has been criticized a lot, and it has also hindered you, so forget it."

Where would Seth Rogen give up easily, and said, "This time is different, have you forgotten? You are in the film, or yourself."

Murphy had read the script and proposal a long time ago, and knew that there would be no fictional characters in the film, and all characters would be based on their real identities.

For example, if he plays the role, he will still be Murphy Stanton and a major Hollywood director in the film, that is, his identity is exactly the same as in real life.

In this way, the difficulty of performing is indeed greatly reduced.

Seth Rogen continued, "I wanted to make it a big rally for us Stantonites, the main characters in the film are us and our friends, and it would be seriously incomplete without you. "

"How many of them agreed to play?" Murphy asked.

"Of course!" Seth Rogen would not tell Murphy about his plan, "I have already invited many people."

Murphy thought for a while, and finally nodded slowly, "Okay, count me in."

Hearing what Murphy said, Seth Rogen was relieved, but he didn't leave, and said, "You take Gail with you."

"Don't ask me for this kind of thing." Murphy waved his hand, "You can talk to her yourself."

Seth Rogen shrugged, "Okay, I'm going to find Gale."

In their eyes, Gal Gadot is completely centered on Murphy. As long as Murphy agrees to play, it is not difficult to get Gal Gadot.

In fact, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and James Franco had no plans to leave except for Robert Downey Jr.’s departure. The three of them acted separately and haunted the warehouse set in Venice. , frequent contact with Murphy's production team, all kinds of rhetoric emerge in endlessly, it is bound to pull them to appear in front of the stage together.

The effect is also quite good. Seth Rogen successfully persuaded Gal Gadot, and under the banner of Gal Gadot, he brought Margot Robbie and David Robbie brothers and sisters; Ranko successfully won Philip Lascher and Helena Espora; Jonah Hill chatted with Christoph Waltz and others, and it was also fruitful.

Of course, most of them are just guest appearances, otherwise the actors' remuneration alone will overwhelm the entire budget.

For this film, Stanton Studios only offered a budget of 100,000 US dollars, and it was impossible to support so many stars.

Therefore, the vast majority of celebrity actors are just guest appearances in friendship.

In the following period of time, Murphy also asked Gal Gadot to pass on the news of the Seth Rogen project to him in a timely manner while shooting. The project officially started preparations in mid-November. S-Rogen abandoned the original title of "Apocalypse" and renamed it "The End of the World".

Also, Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jonah Hill lobbied for more star cameos.
