The morning sunlight passed through the bright windows and fell on the drawn curtains, reflecting a golden color. Murphy came out of the bathroom with a toothbrush in his mouth, stood in front of the full-length mirror, and looked carefully, except His eyes were a little red, and yesterday's drunkenness did not leave much trace.

Shaking his head in the mirror, Murphy found that his headache had suddenly disappeared. He went back to the bathroom to spit out the foam in his mouth, and stood there for a while. Maybe yesterday's crazy play really made him relax.

Having had the experience of filming "Hard Candy", he gradually discovered some patterns of headaches. When he was under too much work pressure and his nerves were tense, it was likely to occur the most, and the whole person was completely relaxed. The pain will also disappear.

If he has been living in a relaxed state, Murphy believes that the sequelae of this strange experience will heal without medicine.

But this is obviously impossible, in a highly competitive society, unless he has no desires and desires, and he doesn't care about his future life.

But how many people in this world can do this?

After washing up, he called to order a takeaway. Murphy went downstairs to the living room. Today, the entire production crew was on vacation in order to recharge their energy and prepare to start filming. The studio was quiet and there was no one there.

Taking out the plan from a folder on a desk, Murphy sat down on a chair and flipped through it again.

The shooting is about to start, and he must treat every job carefully, trying to find any omissions in the plan.

For a whole day, Murphy hid at home and did not go out, keeping his hearing, vision and spirit in a relatively quiet state.

Early the next morning, he drove to the small city of Venice, entered the office at the entrance of the warehouse, and first told Paul Wilson, who was already waiting here, that the project was officially renamed "Chain Saw" from the previous code name M2.

"Chain Saw?"

The news quickly spread to the set. James Franco, who was putting on makeup, asked Seth Rogen next to him, "How did you come up with such a name?"

Seth Rogen reminded him, "Isn't the guy in the script called Jigsaw?"

With the arrival of Murphy, the studio began to get busy. Helena Espora was doing the final check beside the built basement toilet scene to check the setting of the set; on the reserved camera position, Philip La Scheer was adjusting the camera, and his assistant was holding a hand-held camera for test shooting; David Robbie used a pole to stir up the main background light, and constantly exchanged ideas with Murphy to determine the erection position of the main background light.

In the scene, Baker Kleibert squatted on the ground, checking the shackles of the props, and brushed his big hands over the metallic rubber props to make sure they were smooth and flat enough not to hurt the actor's ankles.

Murphy coordinated all the work, and the news from each department was passed to him.

There are also quite a few people on the periphery of the set. Although today only the scene between James Franco and Seth Rogen will be filmed, most of the main actors rushed over.

Bill Rossis also came, and Murphy was listed as a super potential client by him. Of course, he will not be absent when the new film starts shooting. In addition, he will accompany two other potential clients under his name.

Carey Mulligan, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, stared at Murphy with his arms crossed.

Beside her, Lily, who was shorter, blinked curiously and was also looking into the set.

"David, move the main background light three feet to the left and try to place it at a forty-five-degree angle of the bathtub," Murphy's voice kept ringing from the set, "Don't turn on all the fluorescent lights. One has a flickering effect."

"Fili, use a hand-held camera for the first shot, pay attention to the shake."

"Helen! Has the glass on the set been tested? Can it be broken? OK!"

"Jack! Jack! Is the actor ready for makeup? How long will it be?"

Watching Murphy command the entire crew in an orderly manner,

Bill Rossis nodded slightly. Compared with the rookie in the last filming, he matured very quickly and looked full of confidence, much like a successful director.

He also participated in a lot of preparatory work for the crew. The biggest feeling Murphy gave him was that the progress was too fast.

Bill Rossis is not the only director who has signed contracts with him, but the previous ones basically finished making a film and then disappeared without a second chance.

What about this guy? The first film won nearly five times the cost of the North American box office. Miramax's distribution ability is the key, but the commercial elements he successfully integrated into the film cannot be ignored.

As an agent and still working in CAA, Bill Rossis knew enough about the Hollywood circle, and also knew how a new director could attract attention, realize his own value, and promote the status of an agent.

One is to win heavyweight awards. Looking at Murphy's age and thinking about the resources in his agent's hands, Bill Rossis knows that these are things that are far away in the future.

The other is commercial performance, to put it simply, it is the box office.

According to Bill Rosses, there is nothing more practical than movie box office. Movie art is metaphysical after all. No one will invest in pure art movies. Even if there are, these art movies are inseparable from business. Movies are A product of money and power.

In today's era, if there is no appreciation of big names, it is the only way for many young filmmakers to develop slowly from small-budget films until they become mainstream directors. His film development path.

Bill Rosses has also read the script. Although the script in Hollywood is far from representative of the final film, it can also explain some problems. "Saw" far surpasses "Hard Candy" in terms of plot and selling points. He has seen Murphy's progress and believes that he should do better than "Hard Candy".

"See, little one." Carey Mulligan pointed to Murphy and said to Lily next to him, "Murphy must be the best director."

Lily is only twelve years old, and she has a lot of experience due to her background. She shook her head disapprovingly, "I live in Beverly Hills, and I have never heard of him before! A young director who can only shoot B-level movies That's all!"

"You little kid, what do you know!" Carey Mulligan turned her head and stared at Lily viciously, but her baby face was not scary at all. She raised a finger and said forcefully, "Wait another ten Look at this year, Murphy will definitely be the top director in Hollywood!"

"Cut..." Lily looked disdainful.

On the set, James Franco and Seth Rogen had already walked to their respective positions, and the filming was about to start. Carey Mulligan quickly shut his mouth, even breathing lightly, as if he was afraid of disturbing Murphy shooting.
