"There are currently 89 people who have signed up for the male lead audition, most of whom are unknown male actors."

In the office, Michelle Williams, who is the casting director, told Murphy, "There are more people who have signed up for the audition, more than one hundred people, and some of them have become famous."

Murphy nodded and asked, "Who are there?"

Before the audition was announced, the crew had already revealed to the public that the role's pay was no more than $500,000, and such a pay was almost no appeal to famous actresses.

They were auditions only for other purposes, such as his appeal.

In this regard, Murphy will not underestimate himself. Not to mention him, any new work of a Hollywood first-line director will be the focus of media attention. If you participate in such a work, your name will be mentioned in countless reports. Even young actors who have not paid attention to any media before will become the target of pursuit by paparazzi and reporters.

If possible, the crew also wants to choose famous actors. Their appeal and richer work experience can also prevent many unnecessary troubles in preparation and shooting.

Michel Williams also understood this, looked at the names specially marked on the list, and said, "There are Black Raffle, Lindsay Lohan, Lupita Nyono, Alessandra Dadario, Alicia Vikander..."

He suddenly glanced at Gal Gadot, who was sitting opposite Murphy, "And Miss Margot Robbie."

Gal Gadot said nothing, Murphy lifted his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Agree to them for the audition, except Lindsay Lohan and Lupita Nyono."

"Okay." Michelle Williams crossed the two men off the list.

For actors who don't look like they don't meet the requirements at first glance, Murphy won't let the crew waste time on them. Lindsay Lohan is simply synonymous with trouble. There are countless female stars taking drugs in Hollywood, but there are not many uncontrollable people like her. Lupita Nyongo is a black man. Murphy thanks for the main role of black actors who are also troublesome.

He doesn't want his crew to cause any scandals that discriminate against black actors in the future, and black actors are far less prominent than they claim to be.

In my impression, Lupita Nyono was also very interesting. In the second year of winning the Oscar-supporting actress, before participating in the Oscars, he claimed that he had prepared a pearl dress worth $150,000, which instantly attracted the attention of countless media. As a result, this white dress with 6,000 pearls was stolen on the eve of the award ceremony. The thief took down two pearls on the dress and took them to identify them. It turned out that the pearl was a fake. The angry thief then broke the news to the tmz website, saying: "We want to let the world see the hypocritical face of Lupita Nyono."

This is also the biggest joke at that Academy Awards Ceremony.

For several other main characters, the crew needs older actors. Murphy asked Michelle Williams to send audition invitations to actors such as Liam Neeson, Kevin Spacey, Christopher Walz, Gary Oldman, Ralph Fiennes, etc. The specific candidates will depend on the audition results.

Since there are too many actors who want to participate in the audition for the male and female lead actors, the crew will hold two auditions like auditions to eliminate those actors whose appearances do not meet the requirements.

Michelle Williams quickly left the office. When Murphy and Gal Gadot were left in the office, Gal Gadot suddenly said, "I invited David Robbie and Margot Robbie to visit the house on weekends."

"Yes." Murphy nodded, "You can handle these things."

He understood what Gal Gadot meant and said, "As long as Maggie audition is good, I will consider it."

Gal Gadot smiled and said nothing. Margot Robbie and Murphy have a good relationship. It is said that they met a long time ago, and Murphy will definitely give priority to her.

Hollywood also talks about relationships. Now Margot Robbie signs up for the audition. When Murphy heard her name, he was actually considering the feasibility of her as the heroine.

In this movie, the heroine is completely like a vase. With Margot Robbie's appearance and acting skills she has trained over the years, she is more than enough to play this role.

However, in the second part, the heroine will become more important and requires explosive performances. Margot Robbie's acting skills are relatively young.

But based on the principle of prioritizing oneself, Murphy will use her as long as the audition of Margot Robbie is not too bad.

After handing over the first audition to Michel Williams, Murphy devoted more energy to planning the entire project.

Twentieth Century Fox successfully raised funds from multiple channels, and the film even started pre-sales in the international market under the banner of the masterpiece of "Murphy Stanton". It has to be said that Murphy's signature is quite useful now, and many overseas publishers have gathered in Los Angeles, and it is basically no problem to advance pre-sale funds.

As the first batch of funds were transferred to the accounts of third-party guarantee companies, the crew's preparations were also fully launched.

The crew's base camp is still on the Venice warehouse set under Stanton Studio. No matter where the crew uses the venue, they have to pay a certain venue fee. In this regard, Murphy will of course give priority to his own set. He has always been taboo about "flood water flows into outsiders' fields."

After the assembly on the warehouse set, Murphy's director team was immediately divided into two parts, with a small number assisting Michelle Williams in the operation of the actor's audition, while others wrote more specific shooting plans.

The most important ones are writing storyboard scripts and drawing storyboard artworks, and refining the shooting budget to each shooting scene.

At the same time, the crew is recruiting behind-the-scenes staff, the departments responsible for Filey Raschel, Helena Espora and David Robbie, all need to temporarily add some staff.

Then, Gal Gadot flew to New York with a team of producers to inspect the outdoor shooting site in advance and explore the feasibility of real shooting on the streets in New York.

Next is the essential prop production and equipment rental. Murphy has detailed plans and is enough to have the heads of various departments responsible for it.

As a director, Murphy has enough knowledge of all kinds of work in the project, but today, he has enough funds and manpower to allocate. Many things will not be done as personally as they did when he started. He is more about coordinating the overall situation and rationally mobilizing and allocating the preparation tasks of various departments as much as possible.

"In terms of props, the protagonist's path has special requirements."

The day after moving to the warehouse set, Murphy specially found props Wells Brooks. It was the first time he worked with him. Of course, he had to give some advice, "First of all, the protagonist's outfit is mainly black, which should reflect the texture of Kevlar materials. In this regard, you communicate more with Jack's styling department."

Wells Brooks nodded straight.

Murphy looked at him and trusted the prop group solemnly recommended by Bill Roses and Caa. After all, Caa recommended him not to be an average prop teacher.

Since the prop team that he has been working with has left the prop industry, established a special effects company and changed careers to do special effects production, Murphy can only seek a new prop group.

“Also, I need a motorcycle.”

Before, Murphy had handed over the concept sketch to the prop set, and then emphasized, "This motorcycle needs to have a very strong sense of technology."

Wells Brooks asked tentatively, "Can you add some science fiction elements?"

"You can add a little bit appropriately." Murphy raised a finger, "but it cannot be deviated from reality. This is a realistic black crime movie, not a science fiction movie!"

"I understand what to do," Wells Brooks said cautiously. "I will design and create a reduced-scale model first."

"Yes." Murphy nodded, "Let's go and do it."

Since he chose to use this prop team, he will of course give them a certain degree of autonomy.

Of course, the premise is that motorcycles cannot look like the product of the science fiction world. Realistic and avoiding science fiction can be said to be the tone of this film.

Murphy emphasized this in his initial crew preparation meeting. The film is a real-world black crime film based on the theme of showing ideological conflicts, rather than a popcorn science fiction film with severe homogeneity in Hollywood.

From computers to tools to transportation, some of the equipment in the film may be slightly ahead of the current era, but they will definitely not lead too much, let alone have too much sci-fi feel. All props and background productions must be based on the concept of dark realism.

Darkness is Murphy's style. This darkness is not only the tone of the film, but also the theme. Realism is the basic requirement for shooting and production...

In order to be realistic, Murphy also planned to use film to shoot videos, using film to present the realistic texture. He also asked Gal Gadot to contact Imax and wanted some clips of the video to be shot through the Imax camera.

With a cost of $150 million, it is impossible to shoot too many imax lenses. Murphy plans to have thirty to forty minutes of imax lenses in the final cost.

IMAX technology has unparalleled advantages in displaying panoramic lenses.

However, such plans still need to be approved by Twentieth Century Fox. Although these plans were submitted to Twentieth Century Fox very early, there has been no specific feedback.

After Murphy called and urged him, Twentieth Century Fox sent Cara Fes over, but sent her over to not make friends, but to send her a message to Murphy.

When he came to Murphy's office on the warehouse set, Carla Fisch was not polite and directly proposed the 20th Century Fox's idea.
