At the end of the day's shooting, Murphy handed over the work of cleaning up the set to Paul Wilson, walked out of the studio No. 2 and prepared to go to Robert Downey Jr. who was exercising in the studio No. 3 to talk about tomorrow's shooting. Tomorrow's shooting is much more difficult than today, mainly because there are many rival scenes between Robert Downey Jr. and Nancy.
As we all know, children's plays are extremely difficult to control. This not only requires the director's live guidance, but also requires adult actors to lead them.
Due to the limited number of young actors who signed up for the audition, Murphy and the crew finally chose a blonde girl named Nikki Milton, who performed very well during the audition.
The crew members were basically busy in Studio 2. When Murphy walked out, it seemed extremely quiet outside. The two studios were not far apart. In just half a minute, he arrived at the door of Studio 3.
Just as he was about to enter Studio 3, Murphy suddenly heard a strange sound from the passage on the left to the end of the Disney set and couldn't help but stop.
He stopped and listened. The originally faint voice suddenly became louder. The sound was very familiar, and it was clearly a person screaming in pain.
It seems to be a man, not... to be precise, a boy.
There was no underage boy in the crew. Murphy immediately thought of Rutger Hal's son Rein Hal. Could it be that something happened to him?
Thinking of this, Murphy turned around and walked quickly along the studio wall. The closer to the passage at the corner of the wall, the more obvious the boy's painful voice was.
When he was about to walk to the corner, in addition to these, he also heard a girl's voice.
The voice had a strong Australian accent, and only one girl had this voice on the whole set, David Robbie's sister Margaret.
Murphy walked faster and turned around the corner. The first person he saw was Margaret. The girl turned her back to her side, her hands were placed on her waist, and she looked down at her front.
"I'm a country bumpkin from Australia," said crisp words with an accent. "I've seen many people like you who think you are noble, but they are just selfish, hypocritical, and mere trash!"
While speaking, she raised her legs and kicked the ground in front of her again, and the brown leather boots fell hatefully on a curled man.
In front of Margaret, a boy was like a cooked prawn, holding his stomach with his hands and curled up on the ground, and the howling of pain was made.
The boy screamed again when the kick hit him.
"Maggie!" Murphy hurried over, "What are you doing?"
Hearing the voice behind, Margaret turned around and saw that it was Murphy, she was not panicked. She said naturally, "I am educating Rein-Hal how to be a human being."
Murphy ignored her and went over from the side, squatting next to Rein-Hal, separating the two of them at the same time.
"Mr. Stanton..." Rein Hal also saw Murphy, lying on the ground and turned his face, and said in pain, "Hurry... Save me..."
Hearing this, Murphy felt relieved, and Rein Hal should be fine.
"Can you get up?" Murphy grabbed one of his arms, "What does it look like when lying on the ground?"
"I..." Rein Hal's eyes passed over Murphy who was squatting, and happened to see Margaret behind him. He quickly shrank his neck, "I can get up."
He stood up following the force of Murphy pulling, covering his stomach with one hand, and hid behind Murphy's body, as if he was very afraid of Margaret.
Murphy looked at Rein Hal, and then looked at Margaret. Rein Hal was closer to Margaret...
He shook his head and looked at Margaret, "Maggie, what's going on?"
"She..." When Rein Hal saw Murphy, he seemed to have found a backer. Half of his body flashed out from behind, and wanted to speak first. Margaret raised his small fist and shook it. He opened his mouth and swallowed the words back, looking very afraid of Margaret.
Margaret put away her fists and faced Murphy's gaze, saying, "From today's meeting, he kept calling me a country bumpkin, showing his superiority in various ways."
Murphy looked back at Rein Hall, frowned slightly. Rutger Hall is a gentle and elegant old actor, who left a very good impression on the crew, son...
Did Margaret lie? It can be seen from Rein Hal's expression. Murphy shook his head slightly and turned around, "So you hit him?"
"I'm really a country bumpkin," Margaret picked up his pockets with both hands, "just use the country bumpkin to solve it."
She tilted her head and looked behind Murphy, "Who knew he was so tall, he was not beaten at all, and he didn't look like a man at all."
Margaret grew up on a farm in Queensland. She grew up with horses, hounds and vast farmland, and her personality was like a cowboy.
"That, director Stanton," said Rine-Hal, who was behind him, stutteringly, "Can you... you... pretend you didn't see this?"
Murphy turned around and looked at him in confusion.
"If...if my father knew..." Rein-Hal lowered his head.
One is twelve years old, the other is thirteen years old, and this is the fight between two children. This kind of thing is common all over the world, and Murphy is too lazy to care about it, "Don't have the next time you two!"
Rein Hal nodded, and Margaret shrugged.
"Let's go," Murphy was worried that she would leave and fight again, so she waved her head, "Go back to the studio."
Margaret followed him, and Rein Harr deliberately separated for a while, slapped the dust on his body while walking, as if he was afraid that his father would see something.
"Are all boys in Los Angeles as masturbating as him?" Margaret's voice was not loud, but Murphy could hear it. "You can only use your mouth to fire, and when you encounter something, you will turn into a turtle with your head."
Murphy said without looking back, "Tell it to David yourself."
Margaret looked very responsible, "Of course I will be responsible for what I do."
Murphy treated this as a fight between two children, and ignored it. He went to Studio No. 3 to find Robert Downey Jr., and told him to pay attention to driving the child actress during the next day's shooting.
But things were not as smooth as expected. Children were emotional. Even though the child actor he found for Nancy was twelve years old, there was still a situation.
Before the shooting began, Nikki Milton was in good condition, but when Murphy called out, she was surrounded by three cameras, and immediately had a nervous face pale and her body was stiff and unable to do anything.
"Stop!" Murphy called for the crew to stop for the fifteenth time, and Robert Downey, a younger girl, was already impatient.
To be honest, he was also a little impatient. In order to reduce Nikki Milton's nervousness, Murphy reduced the three cameras to two, and cleared the scene several times in the subsequent shooting to reduce onlookers. Apart from the necessary personnel, few people in the crew could see the shooting.
But she is still a huge difference from her performance during the audition.
Murphy walked over and squatted in front of Nikki Milton patiently. Nikki Milton was right opposite him, his hands trembling constantly, and his lips were a little white...
"Hey, my dear," she seemed to have not seen Murphy, and she was stunned. Murphy tried to slow down her tone as much as possible and said patiently, "Look, there are no monsters here, and there is no other person, no difference from your family. We are just playing games, and there is a bad guy who wants to catch you, and he..."
Murphy pointed to Robert Downey Jr., "He is a good guy and will come out to save you. This is a game."
From morning to afternoon, the shooting was no progress, and Murphy's patience was almost over. The little girl seemed to hear his words and nodded vigorously.
"Stay for half an hour!" Murphy shouted, then nodded to the girl's mother and agent, asking them to come over.
Compared to myself, a strange director, these familiar people can help the girl relax better.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that the young actor who performed well during the audition would be so nervous when he went to the set to actually shoot. Not to mention that he, the director, used all his best to guide him, even Robert Downey Jr., was driving her. The problem was that when the filming started, the other party became a stone, and everything he had done before was useless.
Murphy understood that when she auditioned, she only saw the image of the young actors and their good acting skills, but ignored that they were not adult actors and ignored the important assessment of psychological quality.
Not every child with acting talent is as unfrightened as Natalie Portman, Kelsten Dunst and Christina Ritchie.
Half an hour passed quickly, Nikki Milton was not nervous this time, but it was even worse.
Murphy had just shouted and started. The camera shot turned and pointed at her. The girl opened her mouth and cried. The crying was extremely loud. Not to mention it when it was heard, her mother and her agent came in to comfort her, and she was obviously emotionally broken.
"This is not a solution," Robert Downey Jr. walked out of the set and found Murphy behind the monitor. "If this continues, we will not be able to complete a single shot in a day."
Murphy nodded slightly and said to Paul Wilson, "Come Fran, Bill and Erica."
If you don’t talk about anything else, if you continue shooting, the representatives from the guarantee company will come to cause trouble.
Frank Miller and Erica Steinberg soon found them.
"We can't drag it on like this." Murphy said with a frown, "Switch it, whoever you have a familiar little actor, please contact one quickly."
Like most Hollywood crews, there are special notes in the contract signed by the crew and the young actors. Once the filming is really impossible, the two parties can coordinate the commission to be squad.
"I know Kristen Stewart's agent," Bill Roses said, "but it's hard to say whether the schedule is right or not."
Murphy predicted that this aspect would not be enough. If the young actor delayed too long, it would definitely affect the crew's shooting plan.
"Can you be able to coordinate this week?" he asked again.
