Hollywood Road

I just received the editor's notice today, and it will be on the shelves next week. I'm going to cry, what should I do if I don't save the manuscript! I can only work hard these days, please give some recommendation tickets to encourage.

It took another three days for Murphy to adjust the script again, and then began to draw the storyboard and shot artwork. This will not be the final version of the script, just like "Hard Candy", he will also Modifications were made according to the situation during shooting, and the film was independently invested by Stanton Studios, and he, the director and producer, had the greatest power.

Meanwhile, casting auditions are underway.

Like last time, Murphy published a job advertisement in the local newspaper in Los Angeles, and Bill Rosses also recommended several contracted actors under his name.

Although this is a low-budget plasma horror film, it is a rare opportunity for new actors to star in an official feature film.

In particular, the director's previous film has entered theater screenings. If this one can also enter theaters, the newcomers in it will also have a proven qualification.

Murphy's first confirmed actors are undoubtedly the two leading actors in the Chamber of Secrets. James Franco and Seth Rogen have signed formal actor contracts with the crew.

Another important female role was handed over to Carey Mulligan, but Murphy was a little surprised. This British girl has been staying in school in peace and stability recently, which is very unlike her style.

"The school is watching closely..."

Sitting on a big chair in the living room of the studio, Carey Mulligan shook his feet, put down the script in his hand, and said to Murphy who had just hung up the phone, "Only by getting good enough grades in the test, the school Only then will I be allowed to ask for leave."

Putting away the phone, Murphy sat back behind the drawing board and continued to draw the sub-camera artwork, "The test is complete?"

"Not yet..." Carey Mulligan shook his head. "Next week."

She stood up, walked behind Murphy, crossed her arms, looked at the drawing board with interest, and said, "As long as I persist for less than two months, I will be completely free."

Murphy turned around and looked at her in confusion. Carey Mulligan pouted and reminded dissatisfiedly, "Did you forget? I told you, I will drop out of school when I turn sixteen." .”

"Aren't you an exchange student?" Murphy didn't understand these things in the United States, "You can drop out of school at will?"

"Of course not." Carey Mulligan was full of confidence, "but I've figured out a way."

Hearing what she said, Murphy knew it was not a joke, put down the carbon pencil in his hand, and frowned, "Be careful about this matter, it's best to discuss it with your parents."

"No!" Carey Mulligan turned his head and walked back, "They will never agree, so I don't want to discuss it with them!"

Then, he said dissatisfiedly, "Murphy, when did you become so verbose."

Murphy simply shut up and continued with his work, ignoring the troubled girl.

After the two shot drawings were finished, there was a knock on the door outside, and Seth Rogen, who was helping Baker Kleibert organize the props in the small yard in front of the house, walked in with two people.

These are two women, one big and one small. The older one looks to be in her thirties, and the younger one is about ten years old. They should be a mother and daughter.

"Murphy..." Seth Rogen brought the two of them to Murphy's side, "These two are actors who came to audition, and they made an appointment with Bill to meet here."

Murphy stood up, and Carey Mulligan immediately ran over to deliver a towel. He wiped his hands, returned the towel, and introduced himself, "Hi, I'm Murphy Stanton. , the boss of this company and the director of the crew you are going to interview."

While speaking, he sized up the two people without any trace, and he could see that the older woman,

Also scrutinizing him.

This woman is wearing exquisite makeup, looks quite tasteful in her clothes, and is carrying a Chanel bag in her hand. She is obviously not a figure in the lower class of Hollywood.

"Hello, Director Stanton." The woman nodded to him and introduced herself, "I'm Jill Coren, and this is my daughter Lily."

"Hi, Lily." Murphy waved to the girl.

The little girl seemed very educated, and said politely, "Hello, Director Stanton."

At this moment, footsteps could be heard at the door, and Bill Rossis turned out from the entrance. When he saw Murphy and the others, he hurried over.

"Sorry, Jill." He smiled apologetically at the middle-aged woman, "There's a traffic jam on the road, I'm late."

The woman nodded to him, "It's okay."

She turned to Murphy, "When can we start auditioning?"

"Please wait for a while." Murphy told Seth Rogen, "Take the two guests to the lounge first, and wait for my notice."

Seth Rogen led two women, one large and one small, towards the lounge on the other side, and someone walked in from the door. James Franco and Paul Wilson were walking and chatting, and turned into the living room. At that time, his eyes turned to Seth Rogen for some reason.

A face with bright eyes and white teeth, a sweet appearance, and a bit of retro temperament...

His feet were still walking towards Murphy, but James Franco couldn't turn his head. He felt that the fire in his soul that was extinguished by Carey Mulligan was ignited again.

Fortunately, he still knew where this was, and he tried his best to force his head back, followed Paul Wilson, and came to Murphy's side.

"This is a client I just signed a few days ago..." Bill Rossis was talking about the origins of these two people with Murphy, "I finally persuaded them to sign the contract. Jill Coren is Beverly Hills. The chairperson of a women's club has considerable influence in the circle, she wants to pave the way for her daughter's future acting career, if it wasn't for the introduction from a friend, they wouldn't have chosen me at all."

Murphy nodded, "As long as her daughter can reach above the standard line."

The benefits of building a good relationship with such a person far outweigh the disadvantages.

"That little girl is a second-generation star." Bill Rosses continued, "Her father is a veteran British singer who once won an Oscar."

James Franco has been standing next to Murphy, pretending to be indifferent. Diagonally across from him, Carey Mulligan, who has put away the towel, is looking at him with his hands folded, his big smart eyes blinking non-stop.

This small client was obviously valued by Bill Rossis. After explaining a few words to Murphy, he turned and left, walking towards the lounge where they were.

When Bill Rossis walked away, James Franco asked in a low voice, "Murphy, did both of you want to audition just now?"

"No," Murphy shook his head, "That little girl is."

"Oh?" James Franco's eyes lit up, "It can't be my daughter?"

"That's right." Murphy walked towards the audition room, "The role she auditioned for is your daughter in the film."
