"Hello, Mr. Stanton."

In the director's office of Studio 2, a middle-aged man first showed Murphy his identity materials, then nodded to Bill Roses and Erica Steinberg, and introduced himself, "I am Harry Pierce, from the director's union."

Murphy looked at the other party's identification documents and transferred them to Bill Roses and Erica Steinberg, asking, "Mr. Pierce, are you here to represent the director's union, or are you personally?"

"Director's Union."

An assistant brought coffee, Harry Pierce nodded and thanked, and then expressed his purpose. "The directors' union learned about a situation. There are two full-time directors on the project book of the crew of "Sin City". Is that true?"

"Our situation is quite special," Erica Steinberg took the initiative to take the initiative and said first, "the director's union may not know much."

Harry Pierce shook his hand, "Before I came, the directors' union had done enough investigation."

He opened his briefcase, took out a document, looked down, "The union investigation shows that the crew of "Sin City" has two full-time directors."

After looking at Murphy, Harry Pierce said, "One is your Mr. Stanton, and the other is Frank Miller, the original author of the comic."

Close the documents, he said to Murphy again, "If we are right, Mr. Stanton is a member of the director's union."

Murphy, Bill Rossis and Erica Steinberg looked at each other, their faces were calm. They had communicated a long time ago and speculated that this situation might happen. Now it happened, and there was no panic.

Harry Pierce spoke very quickly and didn't seem to want to give Murphy any chance to tell the difference. "Director Stanton, as a member of the Directors' Union, you have violated the union's rules. Your crew must suspend filming and be investigated by the Directors' Union."

"Prepause shooting?" Murphy frowned.

This is what he cannot accept the most.

"Yes!" Harry Pearson said calmly, "You are a member of the Directors' Union. You and the projects you direct must comply with the union's regulations!"

After saying that, he stood up and looked at Murphy and the other three, "I hope the crew can implement the union's decision."

Harry Pearson announced the director's union regulations and left Disney studio directly, leaving Murphy, Bill Rossis and Erica Steinberg in the office.

"The crew filming is really going to be suspended?" Murphy asked as he looked at the other two.

"Stop it first." Erica Steinberg knew this better than Murphy. "Although the director's union is just a union, there are some decisions that we should not confront each other openly."

Bill Roses nodded in agreement, "It won't be a few days to pause. Haven't we ever had a plan before?"

"Okay," Murphy stood up, "Bill, you will handle the matter of my temporary withdrawal from the director's union, I'll explain it to the crew."

The director's union asked the crew to shut down, which was a very troublesome thing, but it was not without a solution.

Murphy and Bill Roses assumed that they would communicate with Miramax later. It would be fine if the director union did not pay attention. If they were targeted, they would definitely have corresponding response measures.

Indeed, the Directors' Union now rarely pays attention to whether someone violates these remote regulations, but Hollywood has never been a pure land. The competition for fame and fortune has been magnified several times in this circle. No one can guarantee that anyone will be exposed to the Directors' Union.

Once this is the case, the director union will not turn a blind eye.

It is both troublesome and easy to deal with the current situation.

Since Frank Miller serves as a director position, it is the prerequisite for this cooperation and it is clearly written into the contract. It is definitely not allowed to be executed by default. If the directors' union is investigated, even if it can be successfully passed, how long will the crew be suspended?

This solution is certainly unclear.

The best way is to Murphy withdraw from the directors union. Frank Miller was not a member of the directors union. After he withdrew, just like George Lucas withdraws because the opening of Star Wars did not comply with the directors union regulations, the directors union had no reason and position to continue to force the crew to shut down.

Of course, this may bring some negative effects to Murphy personally, but he doesn't care. Moreover, Bill Roses also communicated with the senior management of Caa. As the director who is now focusing on cultivating, Caa's public relations department will also start to eliminate these effects.

After Murphy went out to announce the director's union's decision and made some explanation, the crew paused the filming.

"Sorry, Murphy." Frank Miller took the initiative to find him. "I don't know that the directors' union has such regulations. I didn't expect to cause these troubles to the crew. Is there a solution to Miramax and Caa?"

He glanced at Murphy and said tentatively, "If it really doesn't work, I'll be the assistant director."

"It's okay," Murphy shook his head, "we have a solution."

He couldn't hear it. What Frank Miller was talking about was the last resort. He didn't want to give up the director's power at all.

This is understandable. His position in the crew was a bit embarrassing. If the power stipulated in the contract was thrown away, he would be unable to intervene in the future filming if he did not follow the comic style.

There is no time or twice that the Hollywood adapted movie signed a contract and threw away the original author.

Murphy made a promise to him, but Frank Miller did not have social experience, so how could he just simply believe in promises?

Bill Rossis handled Murphy's withdrawal from the director's union, and the crew suspended filming, but this did not mean that all work would stop.

The shooting on the open side stopped, and the special effects production continued. The crew paused the shooting and waited for Bill Roses to complete the director's union procedures for him. During the two days when he was about to go through Bill Roses, Murphy, Felix Rascher and Helena Espora got together to watch a small number of special effects backgrounds submitted for review. Using the background as a reference, we continued to improve the future imaging effects and picture style.

Just like Murphy asked and reflected in the comics, the completed special effects backgrounds are completely based on black and white.

But Murphy was not very satisfied because the contrast of colors was not particularly strong.

"Helen, these need to be reworked!" Murphy said to Helena Espora, who was in charge of these in Miramax's studio. "I need to make the audience feel the super visual impact, and the picture must be beautiful enough! People can't forget it after a glance!"

"I will communicate with the special effects studio." Helena Espora nodded.

But Murphy reminded again, "I would like to emphasize again that the tone of the special effects background should be bright enough. In the treatment of black and white, there must be a strong contrast between light and dark to make the picture look clear and bright. White should be flawless, and black should be completely black!"

Helena Espora wrote Murphy's request one by one on the notebook.

These close-up background images were originally experimental items. The special effects working group submitted them and asked Murphy to see them in advance. Murphy also pointed out the parts that did not meet the requirements without hesitation.

"The colorful scenes are not done well," Murphy said, pointing to a section with a bright red bed, "Red is independent of black and white, but it also complements black and white. The red we make now is indeed bright enough, but it is completely separated from the relationship with black and white."

"Don't forget that color is a tool that reflects the feelings of characters and plots!" He has never stopped. "Different feelings need different colors to express, red is conducive to the ignition and expression of passion; black and white reflect the sinisterness and darkness of the city!"

After talking about the special effects background, Murphy turned to the shooting related to these backgrounds. The shooting was not completely separated from the background and was only done by relying on the green screen. Especially as the director and Philip Raschel, the photography director, even when facing the green screen, the complete scene construction appeared in his mind.

"Fili, pay attention to lens transitions when shooting." Although this has a greater relationship with editing, lens control during shooting is equally important. When shooting, reserve a clever editing point for lens transitions, which can make the lens grouping naturally coherent, rather than abruptly break. "In terms of eye-guiding transitions, language transitions, similar object transitions and action transitions, you can re-examine the photography plan."

It is not difficult for careful people to find that these transitions are commonly used in Hollywood movies. Through these clever transitions, the narrative of the film will appear smooth and natural, and naturally.

After the crew was suspended for three days, Bill Roses completed the matters related to Murphy's withdrawal from the director's union, and the crew was able to start filming again.

Now neither he nor Frank Miller are members of the Directors' Union, and the Directors' Union has no reason to intervene in violation of regulations.

In Disney Studio 2, many staff members were doing preparations before the filming. Bill Roses stood behind the director's monitor with Murphy, watching the scenes of Felix Raschel being tested continuously.

"The company has also asked someone to investigate," Bill Roses whispered. "The directors' union suddenly interfered with us because someone reported it."

Murphy turned his head and glanced at him, "Who is the whistleblower?"

"It's not clear yet." Bill Rossis shook his head. "Brian Lauder speculated that it might be a competitor to the company."

He sighed, "I thought it was too simple at the beginning. It didn't take any effort, let alone risk it. Just calling the director's union to report may attract attention."

Murphy shook his head, too.

Bill Rossis said again, "You can take photos with peace of mind now, and leave the rest to me."
