Any director will find a theme that suits him at all costs, rather than waiting for the right project to come to him. Murphy can always be said to have "find nowhere to go", but fortunately, sometimes he will have the good luck of "get it without any effort"!

Just like the injured Quentin Tarantino and Inglourious Bastard, Murphy is lucky sometimes.

But good luck is only one aspect. If you want to succeed, you have to make corresponding efforts.

So far, almost all scripts of the film directed by Murphy have been handed over by him, at least in-depth participation in it.

The reason why he wrote scripts for all the films he directed or actively participated in the writing of scripts was not to become a dictator of a film, but because of pure technical reasons, the script was already part of the directing in Murphy's production style and model.

A script is not a book, not a novel, but a guide and an instruction to use.

During this shooting, whenever Murphy arrived at the shooting site, he had clear plans and ideas about the scenes he shot every day. If this was an action scene, everyone had to know what would happen before the work began. So he often made a "plot demonstration board" because the technicians and all crew members had to be familiar with their requirements.

If you are filming other scenes, Murphy doesn't like to use "plot boards", especially those scenes that require actors to have explosive performances, because this will restrict their hands and feet and follow his artworks rigidly, and it will never be comparable to the richness and colorfulness of reality...

Just like asking a dress master to make a piece of clothing and then go to the person who wears it.

Obviously, we should do the opposite: find this person, measure his size before asking someone to cut it, and we must check if there is room for improvement until the end...

Therefore, during this preparation period and filming, let the actors rehearse, and even do not intervene at the beginning. Those actors with good understanding will naturally choose the right position.

After so many years of work accumulation, Murphy can clearly know what to do better by observing the situation in place.

Apart from the necessary guidance, Murphy never demonstrates to actors what to do. Those people are much better than him in acting, and a smart director will not foolishly direct the actors' specific performance. That is completely putting the cart before the horse.

Many directors tend to over-direct their actors, and actors are addicted to this because they like to be over-directed, they like to discuss the characters endlessly; they like to make purely rational explorations of the entire process of shaping characters.

Usually, they are dizzy and lose their spontaneity or talent.

Many people always think that every director is James Cameron on the set and always squeezes actors. The actual situation is just the opposite. Most directors work like Murphy. As long as the actors don’t have any problems, they will basically create conditions for actors so that they can perform their full potential.

This book is also part of the director's work.

From the beginning of the filming, Murphy knew what was suitable for the starring actors and would not easily interrupt their good working conditions, which was useless.

On the contrary, they should be made easy for work...

Every director has his own style and work habits. This habit has its own advantages and disadvantages. The most typical one is Spielberg. This super director can indeed shoot any subject, but if you shoot and create any subject, as long as you carefully distinguish it, it is not difficult to find that they all look like they are made from the same mold.

Therefore, if you want the film to maintain its own style without becoming a patterned product, then every film must produce something fresh from photography to storyboarding to scene design and editing style. Otherwise, even the most outstanding director will be fed by the audience if he continues to shoot a movie every year.

Spielberg is also a typical example in this regard.

Just like Deadpool adds humor and quick editing, "The Disappearing Lover" combines suspense thriller, and "Man of Steel" gives superheroes a heavy theme, Murphy also has a lot of thought in the shooting and design of each scene in "Inglorious Bastard".

When Murphy was shooting special scenes, he tried to use a single shot, or did as much as possible, as long as it was not necessary, he did not switch and never shot the same scene from different angles.

This will prevent the actors from doing the same thing repeatedly, keeping fresh and spontaneous, and trying many different things, they may interpret the same scene in different ways every time without worrying whether this will match other shots.

As far as directing is concerned, this black film that integrates the black humor into the entire theme, plot and scene of the film, but does not highlight the jokes is a very demanding and strict genre film.

If you pull out a certain shot alone, it is difficult to find a suitable laugh, but if you put it in the theme of "Inglorious Bastard" and the background environment, these hidden black humors will become a favorite joke for the audience.

Since the early preparations, Murphy has been very clear that "Inglorious Bastard" is not "Man of Steel". The final film can nothing to hinder the audience's deserved laughter, and nothing can divert the audience's attention from where they should laugh.

If he had too many mobile cameras, too fast editing, he would risk killing laughter and would have difficulty making a wonderful noir film about World War II.

The final effect of "Inglorious Bastard" is to be dark, simple and clear.

What Murphy wants is actually a meticulous, concise, slightly dark picture. He wants to see everything when he works, and wants to see the actors do what they should do, and does not want to damage timing, because timing is crucial to the film.

His last movie was a very serious film noir, so he always had the urge to shoot, and he rushed out of his head to try something, enjoy the fun of the camera, and enjoy the fun of moving.

But this is not "Man of Steel". During the filming of "Inglorious Bastard", Murphy had to suppress this impulse.

In addition, Murphy must try to avoid many mistakes in all his work.

The first thing to avoid is not to do anything that does not help Inglorious Bastard.

This happens often, during filming, Murphy suddenly jumps out of an idea that he thinks he is smart, or wants to try something, but this idea is not suitable for Inglorious Bastard, so he must immediately put it aside.

Of course, this does not mean rigidity and stubbornness. On the contrary, rigidity and stubbornness are also wrong.

In Murphy's perception, the film "Inglorious Bastard" is like a plant. Once the seeds are sown, it begins to grow. If you want to see it grow, he must grow at the same rate, take into account various changes, and also open your mind to accept the opinions of others.

As a director, it is absolutely different from a screenwriter. When a screenwriter writes, he stays alone in the room and thinks that he can control everything he writes. The director brings the script to the set, which is completely different. The director needs to have control and needs the help of other people and the entire team to achieve his goal.

Any director must understand, accept, and pay attention to this point, and they must use the resources they have to work.

For directors, firmness is a quality, but not compromising is definitely a mistake.

Secondly, the director has a lot of power on the set and is likely to inflate, thinking that he knows everything about the movie, but this is a joke.

Many directors think that the audience will like a certain character, but they are not interested in him at all. Instead, they like characters that the other directors don’t care much about. The directors think they will laugh at some point, but they actually laugh at things that the director never finds funny…

This situation is very common, as long as anyone who watches movies often knows.

But because of this, the director's work is so magical, so fascinating, and so fun that if Murphy thought he knew everything about the movie, he would have long since stopped making movies.

Murphy likes this job. This job not only brings him money income, but also spiritual enjoyment. He is happy to do this job. This is not only what he is good at and his interest. Every time he shoots a video, he will be deeply immersed in it.

Even if you encounter difficulties, the process of overcoming those difficulties can lead to a spiritual pleasure.

For example, when shooting scenes of many high-ranking Nazi officials in cinemas, Murphy used 35mm film because of the awards season, and the tone was no longer as convenient as digital lenses. In order to reduce the trouble of post-production, many places used scenes and live dimming shooting.

The scenes of the cinema are dark and depressing. If you want to shoot in a low-light environment, you will naturally encounter many difficulties. Murphy made sufficient preparations and a lot of experiments for this.

Low-light shooting often requires constant attempts to find the most suitable method to achieve the ideal effect.

Therefore, the shooting process usually takes a long time, and preparations before shooting are also necessary. Murphy led the crew to arrive at the scene at least two hours in advance every day, prepare shooting equipment and arrange lights, and at the same time think about composition in his mind, and use the lens to express the picture he wants.

This traditional shooting method of using film is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it is necessary to achieve awards season and get better results.

For two films with similar situations, the college will choose film or number, and the answer is very obvious.

Although film shooting will cause some trouble, the shooting is always within a controllable range. When the shooting enters the later stage, Murphy encountered a real big problem with using film. (To be continued.)
