Chapter 168 is a bit absurd

These once again made Murphy see the difficulty of releasing movies. The extremely naive idea of ​​pulling some people to set up a distribution department and then publishing films that they shot and produced by themselves was becoming increasingly weak. If this idea really needs to be implemented, Stanton Studio would likely go bankrupt.

Even companies of the level of Miramax have certain limitations in participating in overseas film festivals and overseas distribution.

Fortunately, Murphy doesn't need to be too sensible in these things. After all, he is the director of the film, not the producer and investor. Many of the distribution-related links are just a participant, not a decision-maker, and he still focuses more on the filming and production of the film.

As agreed, the next day, Quentin Tarantino once again came to the warehouse set and took charge of the guide for a day in place of Murphy. He was not Robert Rodriguez, who was full of evil fun. Sometimes he said that the scale was very large, but he was very careful when shooting.

A director who does not follow the mainstream route can achieve Quentin Tarantino's future level, and actually knows how to control the scale reasonably.

Murphy planned to edit and compress the footage to about three to five minutes in the last edit.

Quentin Tarantino's cameo only lasted for one day, and then Murphy took back the crew's guide and continued to start the intense shooting.

The time has entered mid-February, 2002, and to complete all productions by the end of April, we must also hurry up.

In the center of the bedroom of the barbecue shop built on the warehouse set, there is a huge red heart-shaped water bed. Two cameras are set opposite the end of the bed. The crew has made the final preparations before shooting. Apart from Murphy and Felix Raschel who each control a camera, and David Robbie who needs to control the lights, everyone else has walked out one after another.

What we are going to shoot next is a scene with the heroine ****, and the crew needs to clear the scene to shoot.

Of course, this is not what Murphy asked, but the terms of the clear notes in the director contract signed by Jessica Chastain and the crew.

When shooting ****, except for directors, cameramen and a few necessary jobs, the crew must clear the scene to shoot.

This article is also written in the filing of the Actors Association.

Hollywood has developed to the present day, and various rules are extremely mature, especially actor contracts, from specific pay to small parts exposed when taking off clothes, there will be specific regulations.

Jessica Chastain and Robert Downey Jr. walked in one after another. They looked at each other. Robert Downey Jr. had been in Hollywood for many years and looked normal. Jessica Chastain had a little embarrassed face when she first filmed such a scene.

Murphy didn't care about this, and after the two actors were in place, he said directly, "Start the shooting!"

With his right leg wrapped around the green screen, Jessica Chastan lay on the edge of the water bed, Robert Downey Jr. took off his top, then unbuttoned his pants, and then took off Jessica Chastan's clothes.

Robert Downey Jr. has completely entered the role, with only the bust left in Jessica Chastan's upper body.

Her expression was stiff, and she was like a wooden man. She was already out of the show, but Murphy did not call for a stop. Most actresses basically needed an adaptation process, and it would be much better if they did it a few more times.

He completely treated this as a rehearsal.

Soon, Jessica Chastain was stripped naked. Her face was already pale and there was no trace of blood. However, she had enough professional qualities and at least she did not have emotional breakdown or yelling like some actresses who were first filming such scenes.

Jessica Chastain was very nervous and felt that she was almost breathless. She knew that she was out of the show and her performance must be as bad as she was. What she wanted to hear most now is the director shouting to stop, and then quickly pick up the blanket next to her to cover her body.

"Stop!" Finally, a sound like a heavenly sounded.

Robert Downey Jr. just dodged away, and Jessica Chastain pulled the blanket and covered it with her body. Due to the tension, her breathing became extremely rapid.

Murphy looked at him and said, "Jesse, you're so tight that you're about to break your band now, you need to relax!"

Hearing this purely working voice, Jessica Chastain held his trembling right hand and asked Murphy, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

"Who do you have cigarettes?" Murphy did not smoke.

David Robbie took out a cigarette and threw it to him along with the lighter. Jessica Chastain next stuffed the cigarette butt into her mouth, lifted the lighter with her right hand to light the cigarette, but her shaking hands were not in charge and did not light it several times in a row.

Robert Downey Jr. walked up to her and said with a gentlemanly manner, "Do you need me to help you?"

Jessica Chastain looked up at Robert Downey Jr. He had not put on his clothes yet, and was wearing a weird-shaped safety shorts on his lower body, just standing in front of him...

Seeing Robert Downey Jr.'s appearance, Jessica Chastain's nervousness and fear suddenly disappeared. For some reason, she just wanted to laugh, and then she made a neurotic giggle.

Robert Downey Jr. had no idea what happened, and looked at Jessica Chastan in surprise. Jessica Chastan was just laughing there. He had to turn his head and look at Murphy. Murphy and Felli Raschel were discussing something, but he didn't notice this at all.

Perhaps he noticed Rott-Donny's surprised attitude, Jessica Chastan held his waist and said breathlessly, "You...you look...a bit ridiculous."

Hearing this, Robert Downey Jr. looked down, feeling a little embarrassed, but he didn't care too much. It's good to shoot such a film. Many European art films often walk around naked on the set.

Compared to the nude and cyan scales of those films, this film is nothing at all.

"Sorry, Donny." Jessica Chastain finally controlled his emotions, "I... have no other meaning."

In front of a beautiful woman, Robert Downey Jr. will always be like a humble gentleman, "It's okay, Jesse. Just relax."

Once Jessica Chastain relaxed, the scene would not be difficult. After two more filming, Murphy called for a pass. He specially marked the film he shot and would have someone to keep it to prevent it from spreading.

This is the provision of the contract between the two parties. Hollywood's rules and regulations in this regard have always been strict. Once it is spread, even Miramax will encounter a lot of trouble.

In Hollywood, no matter it is an actress or a male actor, **** is common, and the actors' union has clear regulations on this.

Sometimes such **** or bed scenes appear in movies. The actors' union and producers' alliance have corresponding contract terms for this special scene before, during and after shooting, to protect the interests of the producers and actors.

The Actors' Union has a relevant agreement on this, requiring the relevant actors or stand-in to sign a "Naked Waiver Statement" before performing these scenes. This statement is not only a pre-declaration of an actor's voluntary performance of nudity and bed scenes, but also must contain a description of the degree of nudity or physical contact, ensuring that the filming will be carried out within the scope of the actor's acceptance in accordance with the agreement reached by both parties in the subsequent shooting process.

Of course, if an actor repents after signing the statement and allows them to withdraw their statement, the producer will directly send a substitute to the stage. Without the actor's consent, even a substitute cannot be played casually.

Due to their particularity, in order to avoid being used by others and spread to the actors, the actors will strictly stipulate the procedures for these scenes during filming.

Except for the main actors and staff, the scene shall not be disclosed to any party. No one is allowed to take stills of these scenes without the actor's prior written permission.

Sometimes in order to prevent producers from using performance clips of nude or bed scenes in other places, experienced actor agents will use prohibited clauses during negotiations to dispel the ideas that producers may have, so that they are not allowed to use these clips outside the main film. Even if they are used in the main film, the actors need to have the right to review the ** when the sample is used.

In short, this will never be like what the outsiders imagine, directors or others can take advantage of the opportunity to shoot such scenes and make some messy actions.

Of course, there will be no director that is so stupid.

Murphy focused all the large-scale blue scenes on filming in the past two days. Except for Jessica Chastain who had just walked out of the ivory tower, other actresses participating in the film have been in Hollywood for quite a long time. This kind of scene is just ordinary. The filming lasted for two days and finally came to an end.

Then, Murphy brought the crew away from Venice and came to an abandoned small airport between Los Angeles and Long Beach to film the remaining final battle scenes.

There are a lot of shots of gunfights and explosions here, which is also the scene with the biggest expenses in the film. However, compared to the past stinginess and petty scruples, Kim Kleiman, the representative of the guarantor, did not cause trouble for Murphy, but instead shut his mouth and just watched the shooting progress.

The reason is very simple. At this point, Murphy's not only did not exceed the planned budget, but instead saved some of the funds. Although these funds were only tens of thousands of dollars, Kim Kleiman also understood that Murphy was a director who knew how to be frugal.
