Chapter 314 Bloody Reunion
A dark brown house is located on the quiet roadside, surrounded by lush grasslands, carefully trimmed, looking extremely beautiful. On the road below the grass, there are vehicles full of cars, and satellite receivers are installed on it. This is a news interview car that Carla Fais borrowed from Fox TV for filming.
Around the car, there were reporters wearing Fox TV and other TV station vests, with cameras and camera lenses in their hands all targeting the dark brown house.
After coming here to complete some of the actors' separate scenes, Murphy began to shoot the scene where the Nick and Amy incident was followed by media reporters. This is also a few large scenes in the shooting. Just like the current decorations around the residence, it is impossible to shoot in a low-key and quiet manner.
Originally, several shots of the reporters and broadcasters were very smooth, but as the sun climbed into the sky, the town woke up from its sleep, the shooting order was instantly chaotic, and a large number of onlookers appeared.
One township after another appeared around the crew's filming site without warning. In this secluded town, there was not much collective entertainment. The crew's filming was obviously regarded as a good show for onlookers.
More and more people appear around the exterior venue, and some people are sending their families with their families to move out. What's even more exaggerated is that some people have brought chairs, which seem to have wanted to spend all day here.
“cut!”
Near the door of the dark brown residence, Murphy's voice sounded, and he called to stop the crew, "Stay on ten minutes of rest."
James Franco and Charlize Theron, the leading actors, are still putting on makeup in the trailer behind the house. Murphy is now shooting shots of media and journalists. Suddenly, so many people have been involved, completely disrupting the plan.
This is also an unexpected situation.
"Murphy..." Paul Wilson came over, "Do you want me to take people to drive them away?"
"There are too many people." Murphy can see hundreds of people, and the crew needs to shoot here for a long time. If the relationship with local residents is tense, it will be very troublesome. He thought for a while, "No need, we will treat them as onlookers in the film."
In the video, Amy's disappearance triggered a sensational social event, and it is normal for someone to gather around to watch.
However, this is a country with relatively complete copyrights, and the same is true for personal portrait rights. If these people appear in the movie without permission in the final film, it will be troublesome if someone pursues the matter.
But it is normal for Hollywood to be watched by onlookers. Maybe one onlooker will be shot into the camera. Each crew has a mature response strategy.
"Let the production assistant draw up a deal," Murphy said to Paul Wilson again. "Go to find the official organization in the town and ask them to accompany them to find someone to sign the door to door."
There are still a lot of outdoor shootings later, and there will definitely be people who will continue to watch, which can solve these troubles at once.
"no problem?"
After Paul Wilson left, Carla Fiss came over and said, "Will the onlookers affect the shooting?"
"In fact, there are onlookers, and the media needs to stage a farce in the movie."
Murphy pointed to the more and more town residents who appeared with folding chairs, "This is almost the effect I wanted. What I originally wanted was a scene similar to the scene where Nicole Brown Simpson lives on Gretner Green Street when the Simpson case occurred."
He turned his head and looked at the direction of the makeup trailer parked behind the dark brown residence, and said, "During the rehearsal, I also asked Jim to refer to the Simpson wife murder case."
"But these two cases are different after all." Kara Fis stood beside him, looking at the grass below, with more and more people around him, as if half of the town had appeared. "Do you think the public reaction in the video setting is logical?"
Instead of answering directly, Murphy said, "You have done social current affairs news before, and you should know better than me."
Kara Fis nodded, "The orientation of media public opinion to public opinion, and the public always wants to see what they want to see, and only believes what they see."
"Like this, the crowd above the square." Murphy pointed to the crowd who watched again, "If incited, there will only be two reactions: the most exciting cheer and the most despicable accusation."
He shook his head, "Since Amy is coming back to find her husband and bring out the best side they want to see most with Nick, they would rather believe that this fairy tale is true."
The outdoor set has been arranged long ago, and we just wait for the two stars James Franko and Charlize Theron to finish their makeup. What we are going to shoot is a very, very important drama in the whole movie. Amy killed her ex-boyfriend Collins and returned to Nick.
Murphy specially gave the scene a name and bloody reunion!
There will be nothing to do here, the crew is waiting, and Murphy also chatted with Cara Festo.
"I heard that Twentieth Century Fox is going to combine the film production department and the TV production department into one?" he asked with interest, "Is it true?"
"Planning is underway." Cara Fais nodded, "I guess it will merge after this year's Emmy Awards."
"Then aren't your power greater?"
"But there are more competitors." Carla Fais smiled. "I also have to find a way to produce TV series. It will take a long time for your Game of Thrones to start production."
"Well..." Murphy frowned. He didn't know much about American dramas. If it weren't for "Game of Thrones"'s eye-catching title "Song of Killing and Fucking", he wouldn't have just been asked to read it. He wouldn't have helped much in this regard.
He and Kara Fis are both very good friends and firm strategic ally. From projects such as Deadpool, we can see Carra Fis's full efforts. As long as Murphy can do it, of course he also wants to help Kara Fis's care.
What's more, if Carla Fis really goes to the top of the 20th Century Fox, it will only benefit him, a director who is in Hollywood.
"Game of Thrones" is still in the stage of writing the script, and the preparation is extremely complicated. It is impossible to shoot and produce it immediately. Is there anything else?
Suddenly, Murphy thought of what she had just said.
"Kara, what do you think of the subject of Simpson's wife murder case?" Murphy said thoughtfully, "from a different perspective, shoot this case that shocked the United States into a mini series."
Hearing these words, Kara Fis also fell into thought, "It seems...it seems to be feasible."
"You can find a professional to evaluate this project." Murphy just mentioned, and he didn't know whether it was feasible.
However, with the sensation of the Simpson wife murder case, if the quality of the series is guaranteed, there should be no shortage of viewers.
This case has had a huge impact in North America, and even passers-by like Murphy, I have heard of it a lot.
In 1994, former American football star, then-movie star O-J-Simpson was charged with murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown and his friend Ronald Goldman. Due to Simpson's star identity and the careful planning of the star defense team he hired, the trial of the murder quickly evolved into a news and entertainment incident that caused a sensation across the United States. With the prosecutor's possession of massive evidence, he went through an eight-month trial, and the jury finally found Simpson innocent.
This "Judgement of the Century" had a profound impact on American culture and left a deep impression in the hearts of every American back then.
Even more than ten years after the verdict of the case, the truth is still undecided. This is a good opportunity for TV dramas with vision as the main way to express their "abnormal" intentions.
Murphy's words can only be regarded as a proposal. If you want to truly become a TV series project that can be filmed and produced, there are too many ways and procedures to go.
After James Franco and Charlize Theron appeared in front of the house, Murphy temporarily put down these and continued filming on the crew.
James Franco and Charlize Theron, who was covered in blood, became familiar with the movements first, and then Murphy started shooting.
Like the shooting in the studio, Murphy does not have any portable shooting or shaking lenses. The two cameras are respectively set up behind the door and on the left side of a black Chevrolet sedan at an angle that does not interfere with each other, and are used to photograph Charlize Theron and James Franco.
The shooting officially began soon.
The first scene that was transmitted to Murphy's director monitor was from James Franko, captured by the No. 2.
He pushed open the door and walked out, saw the Chevrolet sedan parked in front of the house, and also noticed the woman in the driver's seat. He was stunned, his eyes were full of disbelief, as if he could not understand at all, why did Amy suddenly appear after disappearing.
Murphy nodded. Although there was no advantage that Xiao Ben's natural facial paralysis could bring, James Franco's acting skills were better and his current condition was good enough. His handsome face was completely free of past laughter, fully showing the mentality that Nick Dunn should have.
Opposite him, Charlize Theron pushed open the car door and shaking his body towards James Franco, her eyes straight at him, as if she had seen the big boy she had fallen in love with.
Media reporters, who were acting as extras, immediately followed, and the camera lenses in their hands were pointed at Charlize Theron, especially the dark red blood stains on her white pajamas.
The two of them got closer and closer, but their expressions on their faces were different.
James Franco was still stunned, Charlize Theron was already crying, and like a lost child found a home, he rushed into James Franco's arms.
The number one lens was immediately adjusted to a close-up.
"You damn cousin!" James Franco finally spoke.
The reporters around them raised their cameras and took pictures of the two embracing each other.
Chapter completed!
