If you don’t do anything in practice, you won’t find how difficult it is.

After rearranging the lighting, the actors became familiar with the movement again, and the crew was ready. Murphy, the director and photographer, began to test the shooting. Like last time, when Carey Mulligan turned his head, he shouted to stop again.

Everyone in the crew looked at Murphy, not knowing what he was going to do, and those who showed emotions like Carrey Mulligan were already scratching their heads.

She had been in a state of emotion for a long time, but after only one move, she was called to stop, and she was inevitably depressed.

James Franco simply found a chair and sat down. He understood it. This was a total collection of unreliable directors and another group of unreliable people.

Fortunately, his purpose is not characters or movies, otherwise he would have to go crazy when working with such a group of novices.

He looked at Murphy with a little contempt. The so-called director said beautifully, but in fact he had problems.

This would be fine, so as not to admire him so much.

Compared to James Franco, who has a weird personality, Jessica Chastain, who was from a serious academy, is more professional. After Murphy called for a stop again, she immediately came over to take the camera and asked, "What's wrong with it."

Murphy didn't think about it, and blurted out, "Carry's eyes are not bright enough and not as bright as they are, which will weaken the charm of the heroine's image."

"What?" Carrey Mulligan obviously heard Murphy's words and pointed at his eyes. He was about to tell a few words, but was interrupted by Murphy's hand. "Carrey, it has nothing to do with you, it's still a matter of lighting."

The camera lens is different from the naked eye of human beings. In the eyes of ordinary people, no matter how bright and divine the eyes are, the lens will be much dim.

"Eye light!" Murphy slapped his forehead angrily, "Why did I forget the eye light?"

He sighed, it was all trouble caused by lack of experience.

This is the first frontal shot of the heroine Haley. If the eyes are dull, the charm of the whole person will be greatly reduced, and the light eyes are necessary.

Movies like "Hard Fruit Candy" can leave a deep impression on the audience through the actress's shining eyes.

According to Murphy's instructions, lighting engineer Douglas added a Fresnel mirror spotlight under the main light, specifically used to create eyelights for Carrey Mulligan.

After a long time of busyness, he finally achieved the desired light and shadow effect. Murphy was also relieved after having a headache. There were not many scenes to shoot in the cafe, and it was relatively simple. The biggest thing was shooting and lighting.

After adjusting the lights, Murphy specifically asked Carrey Mulligan to face him and took a close-up shot. In the camera, Carrey Mulligan's eyes were bright and innocent, and seemed to be able to penetrate into people's hearts.

Only such a innocent, beautiful and cute girl can touch the criminal's mind and fascinate him, right?

Getting the lights does not mean that the crew can run smoothly.

The crew is full of novices and has no experience in collaborating before, so running-in is inevitable, especially Carrie Mulligan, like all new actors, cannot adapt to filming immediately.

After starting the trial again, Murphy's background and looking back were smooth, but when James Franco pushed the door and walked into the cafe and came to say hello, the expression on her face and tone of speaking changed.

As before, her emotions were too exposed, even the coffee shop owner Lynch could see that she hated the people who came over to say hello.

It is impossible to shoot this way. Hailey, played by Carey Mulligan, should show her innocent and cute side to seduce Jeff.

"Stop!" Murphy directly called to stop the entire crew, "Stay for half an hour."

He had been busy with the Guangping problem for so long before, so he needed to take a breath, drank a cup of cold coffee, and called Carrie Mulligan out of the cafe alone.

"Sorry, Murphy..."

Standing at the entrance of the cafe, Carey Mulligan seemed to have made a mistake in a good baby. "It's all my fault, I didn't do well enough."

For people like Carey Mulligan, blaming them will only backfire. Murphy asked, "Does James hate it so much?"

During the rehearsal, Carey Mulligan was able to restrain his emotions towards James Franco, and he didn't see anything special in the morning. Why did it suddenly become like this?

"Have lunch..." Carrie Mulligan lowered his head, "He said a lot of annoying things."

She then raised her head, "Murphy, I really don't like him. When we rehearsal, he always deliberately pleased me, obviously having an intention."

"Oh?" Murphy looked at her. Carrey Mulligan was naive and rebellious, but not a fool.

"I think...I think, James Franko is like..." She looked up at Murphy, and saw Murphy giving an encouragement smile, and said directly, "I think he is like Jeff in the script."

"That's it..." Murphy was not surprised at all, but lifted her chin and thought. Carey Mulligan looked at him with his eyes flickering, as if he was waiting for Murphy to replace the annoying guy for her, but after a while, Murphy said, "James is indeed very similar to Jeff in the script."

"What?" Carrie Mulligan widened his eyes. "Is this true?"

She just lacks experience, is not stupid, and seems a little panicked.

"Calm down, Carey." Since Murphy said that, there was a corresponding solution, reminding him, "You forgot that Haley in the script is facing Jeff..."

"And I'm facing James Franko..." Under Murphy's comforting gaze, Carey Mulligan gradually calmed down, and a look of thought appeared in his bright eyes, "A guy who is more timid than Jeff."

Murphy looked at her with encouragement in her eyes, "It should be interesting to deal with James Franco."

"Yes!" Carey Mulligan almost screamed, quickly covered his mouth, and then carefully looked at James Franco inside through the transparent glass door, then lowered his voice, "I can use Hayley's method to deal with him!"

"Just teach him a little lesson." A few drops of sweat appeared on Murphy's forehead.

However, he did not stop Carrie Mulligan. This was his intentional provocation, and this was not a movie. I believe the girl on the other side would not do too much, at most embarrass Fu Lanlan.

The benefits are obvious. When facing James Franko and Jeff, he played, Carrey Mulligan only needs to perform in his true form, which undoubtedly reduces the difficulty of the performance.

Back at the cafe, Carey Mulligan's performance in the filming was like a different person. Facing Jeff played by James Franko, she fully demonstrated a girl's innocent, cute, childish and a little sexy side, which even caused James Franko to be stunned during the test film...

Looking at Carrie Mulligan, who was wearing a red sweatshirt and like a little Red Riding Hood, with his innocent and cute appearance and expression, James Franco almost couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart for a moment. Fortunately, he was already an adult and had played similar games several times before. Although he had never encountered such a fascinated type, he could control himself.

"Cut!" James Franko was still stunned, but Murphy stopped and raised his thumbs to the two actors, "This one has passed. Jim, Carrey, you guys have done a great job!"

This was originally a test shot, but the effect exceeded Murphy's expectations, especially James Franko's stunned look when facing Carey Mulligan, which showed his urgent heart that was hidden under the elegant appearance.

With James Franco's current acting skills, it is estimated that it will be difficult to show the same performance.

"This is the true performance!" Murphy muttered a few words to himself, "If these two people can perform in a true performance, the effect will definitely be the best."

Just like Robert Downey Jr. to Iron Man, when actors perform best, their roles are often very similar to their real self.

The occasional success cannot cover up the various problems in the crew of "Hard Fruit Candy". The subsequent filming entered a cycle of making mistakes, making mistakes, and making mistakes again. Murphy's own lack of experience is the main reason, while other personnel abilities are generally on the other hand.

After three days, the cafe was not filmed for a few minutes, and even one was only allowed to pass one in a day. Murphy could see it thoroughly. The reason why the people he recruited were cheap was simply proportional to his ability.

Fortunately, he chose a relatively simple movie like "Hard Fruit Candy". Otherwise, if he, a novice director, plus a group of crew members with average abilities, to shoot a film with greater investment, he would definitely kill himself.

These three days also made Murphy fully realize that watching movies, analyzing movies and professional learning at the film school is one thing, while shooting and making movies is another thing. Not to mention the equality between the two sides, the distance between them is at least as far as Los Angeles and New York.

Despite many difficulties, Murphy never thought of giving up. It is impossible to give up now. He has invested more than 100,000 US dollars. Giving up means that all investments are useless.

Murphy was sure to persevere, but it was inevitable that he was depressed. There was another person who was as depressed as Murphy, that was Lynch, the owner of Miton Cafe.

The crew is going to film, and Midton Cafe will definitely suspend business. When he signed a contract with the crew, Lynch thought that such a small scene could be finished in at most two days, and he didn't notice that there was no time limit for the contract prepared by Murphy. After filming in the next few days, he couldn't help but regret it.

Not only is his cafe unopened, he also has to provide free catering to the crew, and all that goes out is money...
