Chapter 312 The standard of a good man
As the representative of AIA in the crew, Kevin Price's most important job is to ensure that the shooting can be completed according to the plan. However, Murphy's first shot was not mentioned in the morning, but continued in the afternoon. Now he has to shoot again, which has greatly exceeded the time of planning.
The crew was preparing for the reshoot, and he quietly found Murphy.
Kevin Price is definitely not a newcomer to hold this position, and no insurance company will use such a position to train newcomers.
Therefore, he pays great attention to the methods and methods.
While Murphy picked up the cup to drink coffee, Kevin Priss came over and said, "Director, how long will this be filmed?"
"It depends on the situation." Murphy turned his head and looked at him, "This one is very important."
"I know." Kevin Pritz still whispered, "It's beyond the plan."
"Don't worry." Murphy put down the coffee cup, "We have a hundred days of shooting time, which is enough."
Unlike the short and fast shooting method of "Deadpool", he set aside a hundred days for "The Lost Love".
After two more shootings, Murphy called for a pass, but after confirming the tone of the shooting, and James Franko and Charlize Theron gradually found their state, the remaining shooting became smooth. By the time they finished work and got off work in the evening, all the planned shooting content was completed today.
As Murphy grows older and accumulates work experience, he is becoming more and more proficient in lens design and shooting.
The crew completed the work of the day, but Murphy did not get off work. It was not a weekend now. Gal Gadot was at school and there was no one when he went home. It would be better to stay here and continue working.
Since a careful plan has been formulated, the filming of "The Disappearing Lover" can be done according to the plan, and Murphy can also distract some of his energy and instead review the outline of the script story of "Game of Thrones" submitted by George Martin.
It is impossible for TV series to be filmed exactly as the novel. Unless the people in the production company's heads are collectively flooded, they will be so stupid. Not to mention Murphy thinking so, even George Martin, the original author who has worked as a Hollywood screenwriter, knows this.
The story of the script is somewhat modified and more compact and suitable for shooting than the original work. Of course, the story still revolves around those families.
The office door was pushed open from outside, and Kara Fis walked in, "Why haven't you left yet?"
Murphy shrugged, "It's okay to go back."
Kara Fesla passed a chair and sat opposite his desk, saying, "A person in charge of the company's public relations department just called me and believed that the anti-family and anti-marriage tendency in our video is too obvious, and the public relations publicity in the future awards season will face more difficulties."
"It's okay." Murphy closed the script outline and said indifferently, "We are not mainstream commercial films, and the negative impact in this aspect will be much smaller."
If you directly use ridicule like this, there is no negative impact, then it is absolutely impossible. However, Hollywood's so-called mainstream values of films are more suitable for commercial productions than for such films with very strong personal style.
"If I were filming a commercial masterpiece, I wouldn't have chosen such a theme." Murphy stood up, went to the coffee machine, and received a cup of coffee for himself and Kara Fiss, "but it would be in line with the normal Hollywood movie-style value orientation."
Cara Fais took the coffee handed over by Murphy and asked in confusion, "What about?"
"In the most typical situation, the hero's background is the couple's divorce, the child is with the mother, and the mother remarries. The film begins, and the third party dies even if he saves the protagonist's life several times, the couple will reunite."
Murphy took a sip of coffee and said while walking, "If the man remarries, the woman's third party will not die, but she will withdraw in shame."
"Although the United States is a seemingly diversified country, its mainstream values have always been ****." Murphy continued, "The status of the family is extremely high. A good man must defend his country, be full of love, loyalty, hardworking, optimistic and firm beliefs."
Carla Fais almost squirted out the coffee he drank into his mouth, "Why haven't I seen it on you?"
She sighed and said, "A film, no matter how edgy the mind is, how glorious it is in Cannes, Berlin and Venice, is often not very open to eating such things as Oscars with "negative energy."
"Bingo!" Murphy snapped his fingers, "So, Oscars, especially the Oscars in the past decade, have always only chosen the right ones, not the best ones."
"Our video is not right," said Carla Fis.
"Our goal is not to get an Oscar!" Murphy seemed very indifferent. "This film could not get a Little Golden Man. I just wanted to tell those old men through this awards season that I am not a pure commercial director, but a stylized director. Don't let them have too much prejudice against me and prepare for the future."
The theme of this film is indeed not very pleasing to the Oscar judges, but it is not that serious. After all, the male and female protagonists control each other more than destroy other people's families.
In Hollywood movies, destroying other people's families is truly hated by gods and ghosts. Although there have been countless cases of family damage in Hollywood in reality, it is easy to lose both reputation and box office when promoting it in movies. Even if you are as handsome as Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Dawson will still make a fuss in the end.
Murphy also saw some scripts of "Return of Superman" that Warner Bros. is producing from Caa. Brian Singer, who has filmed "The Very Suspect", dared not violate this rule in commercial masterpieces.
The famous green tea in the dc world, Louis Ryan, has an ambiguous relationship with Superman's body and transformation state. Then he has a husband, and the child is from Superman. Because he is mixed, he has to take a bunch of pills for a long time. His husband actually realized it very quickly, but in order to maintain the child's tender heart and family integrity, he is determined to continue to be a father silently...
Finally, the child drew a picture, which was a family of three and Superman.
Putting down the coffee cup, Murphy continues this boring topic, which can be used as a relaxation after work, and also reminds Kara Fisch in the future when making videos.
"This often subtly penetrates many aspects of mainstream commercial movies," he said, "For example, the earliest bento in youth horror movies must be girls with indecent private lives, and the ultimate counterattack is all kind and kind girls with integrity."
"It seems..." Cara Fais thought for a while, then nodded slightly, "It seems that it is indeed the case."
She is extremely smart and immediately linked to social reality from the film. "Family and marriage are also valued by society. No matter how dissatisfied it is before marriage, it is OK, but once you get married, you have to take responsibility. Cheating and other things are also very eye-catching in real society. For example, presidential candidates must show that they have a perfect family, and only when they are kind and filial to their children can be favored by voters."
Murphy laughed, "So Hillary, who is interested in the presidential throne, never divorced Zipper Dun."
The two of them laughed for a while. Anyway, they didn't have to worry that such private jokes would have a negative impact on themselves. They also started to use the big names in Washington to make a few more comments, and the topic returned to the movie.
"Actually, I've always been a little worried about this video." Kara Fis said suddenly.
Murphy was a little confused, "Because of what I just said?"
"Those are part of it," Kara Fis said directly, "In the big-selling film, there is always an aggressive male protagonist, and our male protagonist is a waste."
"So you're worried about this." Murphy joked on purpose, "Although I'm poor and rude and not motivated, I know I'm a good man. Real trash has a good job, considerate, handsome, and dressed in formal clothes. My woman is just blind and fooled by hypocrites. Only I know who is the real lyrics..."
"You..." Carafes pointed at him and laughed.
Murphy spread his hands and said, "It is certainly impossible to succeed in using such a person as the protagonist, but Nick Dunn is not such a person. After Amy left, he has made progress from being confused to self-salvation, and then to the declaration in the TV interview. He has made great efforts to become the Nick Dunn that Amy wants to see."
Carla Fis rolled his eyes, "Stop talking about these jokes, I'm serious."
Although she has been fully supporting her since she knew Murphy had this script, the concerns in her heart did exist.
It’s okay to say that the awards season is, after all, there are too many factors that affect the awards, but can such an anti-mainstream film really make a big hit at the box office?
"This video does not lack entertainment elements, and there are many scenes that the audience likes."
Seeing Cara Fais nodding, Murphy said seriously, "Don't forget our special publicity plan. Even if we eliminate these, there are still many favorable factors."
"Hollywood-style mainstream values of films are indeed recognized by the vast majority of audiences, but are they really untouchable?"
Without Cara Faiss' answer, Murphy gave the answer, "After so many years of baptism of mainstream Hollywood films, this kind of old plot and old tits movie has just reached the average level of the Hollywood production line at most. This Hollywood-style main theme plot, if you watch too much, it makes you feel bored. It is a deduction of points and a lazy expression of the screenwriter. He wants to please the audience, but has no good ideas. If there are no other plus points in the movie, the level of this kind of movie is destined not to be higher than mediocrity."
Murphy said confidently, "What about our videos? They will bring a fresh, completely different stimulation to the audience who have been hypnotized by this pattern!"
