Hollywood Road

? A dark brown house is located on a secluded roadside, surrounded by lush grass, which has been carefully manicured and looks very beautiful. On the road below the grass, there are many cars parked, all of which are equipped with satellite receivers. This is Kara Firth's news interview vehicle on loan from Fox Television.

Around the car, there were reporters wearing vests from Fox TV and other TV stations moving around. The cameras and video cameras in their hands all targeted the dark brown house.

After coming here to complete some individual roles of actors, Murphy began to shoot the scene where Nick and Amy were followed and reported by media reporters. Low-key and quiet shooting.

Originally, several shots for reporters and OB vans were shot smoothly, but as the sun climbed into the sky and the town woke up from a deep sleep, the shooting order was instantly chaotic, and a large number of onlookers appeared.

One after another, townspeople appeared around the filming site without warning. In this secluded town, there were not many collective entertainment activities, and the filming of the film crew was obviously regarded as a good show that they could watch.

More and more people appeared around the location, some brought their families with them, and what was even more exaggerated was that some people brought chairs, as if they wanted to spend the whole day here.

"cut!"

Near the door of the dark brown house, Murphy's voice sounded, and he called to stop the crew, "Ten minutes of rest."

James Franco and Charlize Theron, who are the male and female protagonists, are still putting on makeup in the trailer behind the house. What Murphy is shooting now is the shots of the media and reporters. Suddenly so many people entered, completely disrupting the plan.

This is also an unplanned sudden situation.

"Murphy..." Paul Wilson came over, "Do you want me to bring someone to drive them away."

"There are too many people." There are already hundreds of people that Murphy can see, and the crew needs to shoot here for a long time. If the relationship with the local residents is tense, it will be very troublesome. He thought for a while , "No need, we treat them as onlookers in the film."

In the film, Amy's disappearance triggered a sensational social incident, and it is normal for people to gather around to watch.

However, this is a country with relatively complete copyrights, and the same is true for personal portrait rights. If these people are allowed to appear in the movie screen without permission in the final film, it will also be very troublesome if someone pursues it.

However, it is normal for Hollywood filming locations to be surrounded by onlookers, and some onlookers may be photographed in the shot, and each crew has mature coping strategies.

"Let the production assistant draw up an agreement." Murphy said to Paul Wilson again, "Go to the official organization in the town and ask them to go door-to-door to find someone to sign."

There will still be a lot of location shooting later, and there will definitely be people who will continue to watch, so that these troublesome things can be solved at once.

"no problem?"

After Paul Wilson left, Kara Firth approached, "Will the onlookers affect the shooting?"

"Actually, it's not bad to have onlookers. In the movie, the media needs to stage a farce."

Murphy pointed to more and more town residents carrying folding chairs, "This is almost exactly the effect I want. What I originally wanted to present was similar to the scene on Gretna Green Street when the Simpson case happened. Above, across the street from Nicole Brown Simpson's house".

He turned his head and glanced at the direction where the makeup trailer was parked behind the dark brown house, and said, "During the rehearsal, I also asked Jim to refer to the murder of Simpson's wife."

"But these two cases are different after all." Kara Firth stood beside him, looking at the grass below. There were more and more people around, and it seemed that half of the town had appeared, "Do you think the movie set Is the public reaction logical in the

Murphy didn't answer directly, but instead said, "What you did was social news, you should know better than me."

Kara Firth nodded, "The media's public opinion guides public opinion, and the public always only wants to see what they want to see, and only believes what they see."

"It's like this, the crowd on the square." Murphy pointed to the onlookers again, "If they are incited, there will only be the most excited cheers and the most despicable accusations."

He shook his head, "Since Amy came back to look for her husband, and together with Nick showed the best side they want to see most, they would rather believe that this fairy tale is true."

The location of the location has already been set up, just waiting for the two leading actors, James Franco and Charlize Theron, to finish their makeup. What will be filmed is a very, very important scene in the whole movie. Amy kills her ex-boyfriend Collins and returns to to Nick's side.

Murphy deliberately gave this scene a name - Scarlet Reunion!

There will be nothing to do here, the crew is waiting, and Murphy also chatted with Kara Feisduo.

"I heard that 20th Century Fox is going to merge the film production department and the TV production department into one?" He asked with interest, "Is it true?"

"Currently planning." Carla Firth nodded, "It is estimated that they will merge after this year's Emmy Awards."

"Then your power is greater?"

"But there are more competitors." Kara Feith smiled, "I also have to find a way in the production of TV series. It will take a long time for your "Game of Thrones" to start production."

"Hmm..." Murphy frowned. He really doesn't know much about American dramas. If it wasn't for "Game of Thrones" with the eye-catching title "Song of Killing and Fucking", he wouldn't have specifically asked for it. After dragging and looking, it can't help much in this regard.

He and Kara Firth are not only very good friends, but also staunch strategic allies. From "Deadpool" and other projects, you can see that Kara Firth is fully operating. As long as Murphy can do it, of course he wants to Do Kara Firth a favor.

What's more, if Kara Firth really ascends to the top position of 20th Century Fox, it will only be good for him, a director who has been in Hollywood.

"Game of Thrones" is still in the stage of writing the script, and the preparations are extremely complicated. It is impossible to shoot and produce immediately. Is there anything else?

Suddenly, Murphy thought of what he had just said.

"Kara, what do you think of the subject matter of the murder of Simpson's wife?" Murphy said thoughtfully, "From a different perspective, this case that shocked the whole of America is filmed into a mini-series."

Hearing these words, Kara Firth also fell into thought, "It seems...it seems to be feasible."

"You should find a professional to evaluate this project." Murphy just mentioned, and he didn't know if it was feasible.

However, given the sensational nature of Simpson's murder of his wife, if the quality of the series is guaranteed, there should be no shortage of viewers.

Even passers-by like Murphy have heard of the huge impact of this case in North America.

In 1994, the former American football star and then movie star O-J Simpson was accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown and his friend Ronald Goldman. Due to Simpson's star status and the careful planning of the star defense team he hired, The trial of this murder case quickly turned into a sensational news and entertainment event in the United States. With the public prosecutor having a large amount of evidence, after eight months of trial, the jury finally found Simpson not guilty.

This "trial of the century" had a profound impact on American culture and left a deep mark on the hearts of every American at that time.

Even more than ten years after the case was pronounced, the truth is still undecided. For TV dramas whose main form of expression is visual, it is a good opportunity to mobilize various means to express "ambiguous" intentions.

Murphy's words can only be regarded as a proposal, and there are still too many roads and procedures to go before it can truly become a TV drama project that can be filmed and produced.

After James Franco and Charlize Theron appeared in front of the house in full make-up, Murphy put them aside for a while and continued filming.

James Franco and Charlize Theron, who was covered in blood, got familiar with their positions before Murphy started shooting.

Just like the shooting in the studio, Murphy does not want any hand-held shooting or shaking the lens. The two cameras are set up behind the door and on the left side of a black Chevrolet sedan at angles that will not interfere with each other. They are used to shoot Charlize Theron and James Franco.

Filming will begin soon.

The first image transmitted to Murphy's director's monitor is from James Franco captured by the second camera.

He opened the door and walked out, saw the Chevrolet sedan parked in front of the house, and also noticed the woman in the driver's seat inside, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes were full of disbelief, it seemed completely incomprehensible, and disappeared Why did Amy suddenly appear.

Murphy nodded. Although he didn't have the advantage of Xiao Ben's natural facial paralysis, James Franco's acting skills were better, and his current state was good enough. There was no past laughter on his handsome face. Fully demonstrated the mentality that Nick Dunn should have.

Opposite him, Charlize Theron pushed open the car door and swayed towards James Franco. Her eyes looked straight at him, as if she saw the big boy she had fallen in love with.

The media reporters who acted as extras immediately followed up, and the cameras in their hands were aimed at Charlize Theron, especially the dark red blood on her white pajamas.

The two people got closer and closer, but the expressions on their faces were different.

James Franco was still in a daze, but Charlize Theron was already crying, like a lost child finding a home, and threw herself into James Franco's arms.

Shot No. 1 was immediately adjusted to a close-up.

"You bloody cousin!" James Franco said at last.

The surrounding reporters raised their cameras one after another and took pictures of the two embracing each other.

"Stop!" After Murphy shouted to stop, he walked quickly to James Franco and Charlize Theron, "This shot is not good, I need to redesign it!" (To be continued.)
