The sun disappeared behind the only building nearby. Jessica Chastan stepped on the sand on the cracked asphalt road and walked towards the place where the crowds gathered in the intersection ahead. The reporters and paparazzi hiding around saw her and quickly turned the camera and started shooting. Jessica Chastan did not go to see these, and focused entirely on the outdoor set in front. There were constant sounds on the set, which should be gunfire, as if shooting the scenes of the gunfight.

"Hello, it's being filmed here."

Suddenly a security officer appeared and stood in front of her, "Please stop."

Jessica Chastain stopped and said, "I came here to visit the set. I called Miss Gal Gadot before."

The security officer pressed the telephone, said a few words, and said, "Please come in, Miss Chastain."

At the same time, he reminded, "The crew is filming."

"I know." Jessica Chastain said quite politely, "I won't disturb the shooting."

She walked forward for a while and saw some people standing outside watching. She stopped and stood here.

Just like I heard before, the crew was indeed filming a gunfight scene. Standing here, you can see Robert Downey, with scars on his face, hiding behind a car. Under the cover of a bald black man, he was shooting at a group of people who were constantly approaching, and at the same time he called his own people to leave quickly.

Jessica Chastain looked around but didn't see Murphy. She looked carefully and found Murphy behind an old 35mm film camera. He seemed to have taken the photo personally.

"cut!" Murphy's loud voice sounded on the set, just like before, "Donny, you are fighting with other gangs and hiding yourself, now you are not Iron Man!"

Then, Jessica Chastain saw Murphy calling Robert Downey Jr. and several other actors to her side, as if she was talking about the show, but it was far away from here, so she couldn't hear what she was talking about.

Looking at Murphy who was fully committed to his work, Jessica Chastain couldn't help but think of the situation when he was his assistant. Now he is as focused and serious as before he succeeds. He seems to have no current status and achievements at all and has a slack in his work attitude.

Jessica Chastain admitted that she had taken a blind eye to Murphy and made the wrong choice back then, otherwise her career would not have been so bumpy.

Now that I think about it, when I first filmed "Hard Fruit Candy", Murphy showed some of the qualities that successful people must have, right? Thinking of this, Jessica Chastan shook his head and could only sigh in secret, "Why am I blind to what he shows?"

From then until now, Murphy Stanton, whom she saw and paid attention to, was full of adventure. He would never say words such as "impossible" or "unfeasible". No matter how big the problem was, he would not waver. Although he always faced pressure and endured anger, he always kept a calm mind and regarded himself as an independent outsider in the crew. He could always make timely criticisms and suggestions to the staff who made mistakes.

Even when Murphy was filming and making a movie, he gave her a strange feeling, as if he was the Creator, and he said that if there was light, there must be light, no matter what method was used.

But Jessica Chastain knew that Murphy had achieved what he had done today, and that all of this was what he deserved. Most people, including him, had this understanding that Murphy would always be the director who came out of the set with infinite enthusiasm and creativity, and everyone else lived surrounded by his powerful aura.

Jessica Chastain remembers clearly that when he was just starting to prepare for "Hard Fruit Candy", Murphy once told her, "Once we start this adventure and the film starts shooting, there is nothing that can stop me! The only way to stop me is to kill me!"

At that time, she just thought it was joking and arrogant. Later, she realized that he really thought so. He would not hand over his destiny to anyone, but would only hold it in his own hands!

The filming of the movie was suspended, and a staff member came to inform her that she could enter the temporary set. Jessica Chastain, led by an assistant director, came to a camera.

"Hi, Murphy."

With a distance between them, Jessica Chastain raised her hand and greeted her, "Is the shooting going smoothly?"

Murphy looked up, looked over, and then a smile came out, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Jesse."

Jessica Chastain walked over, opened her hands and hugged Murphy gently, "It won't disturb your work, right."

“I have five minutes to rest.”

Murphy was still quite polite to his former assistant, "There is no way, the shooting time is too tight. I will strive to finish all the shots before the 20th of next month, otherwise the 20th Century Fox will kill me."

"You always have such strict requirements on yourself," Jessica Chastain said with a smile.

Murphy shrugged slightly, "If the requirements are not strict, I will lose motivation."

The crew has limited rest time, and Murphy also has to check the venue layout. He really doesn't have much time, so he asked, "How is he working with Meghan Ellison recently?"

Although he has little cooperation with the Ellison brother and sister, the two parties still maintain a close contact. Megan Ellison is more intelligent than her brother David Ellison. In addition to investing in Murphy's films, the remaining independent films invested in have achieved profitability.

In this regard, Megan Ellison is at least a qualified independent film investor.

"It's not bad." Jessica Chastain thought about it and decided to tell the truth. "Megan Ellison recently got a new project about Seals Six and bin Laden. She intends to let me play the leading role, and the director is Katherine Bigelow."

"Congratulations." Murphy smiled, "This subject is still very useful after taking pictures."

The two chatted for a while, and Jessica Chastain looked at the time and took the initiative to say goodbye, "I won't disturb you anymore."

"Yeah." The various departments of the crew started working again, and Murphy didn't try to keep him. He said politely, "If you have something to do, you can call Bill."

Seeing Jessica Chastain turn and leave under the guidance of an assistant, Murphy continued his own shooting. The shooting scene just now had all ended. Although the crew did not change the location, the shooting was not on the outdoor set of the intersection, but was changed to a low building next to the intersection.

When Murphy walked to the entrance of the building, Felix Raschel was taking people to set up cameras outside, while David Robbie took several assistants to arrange the lights in the building.

"David!" Murphy reminded, "The lights should be cold and hard, dark!"

Behind the building door, David Robbie showed his head and gestured with an "ok" gesture.

What needs to be shot here is a long shot, with only Robert Downey Jr. in the shot, and Murphy wants to show the anxiety and anger of Diego Ross, who he played, and specially designed this shot for this.

Diego Ross, who had just grown up, asked someone to help collect information about the Catholic priest back then. Unexpectedly, what he got was that after being called to the police by many parents of the abused children, he not only did not receive the punishment he deserved, but was transferred back to the Vatican by the Catholic Holy See, and his position was promoted.

Such news seriously affected Diego Ross' judgment on this world, and he finally decided that this was an evil world after all.

If he wants to live in such a world, he can only be even more vicious.

The next shot is the process of his final change in his thoughts.

At the beginning, Murphy did not enter the building, but stood outside the door and looked inside, so that he could better observe the scene captured by the entire camera.

He looked for a while and called Helena Espora, pointed to the wall facing the door, and said, "I remember there is a large angel depravity picture inside the prop, hanging here."

After giving the art direction, Murphy saw Robert Downey Jr. walking over after putting on makeup and calling him into the building together.

This is the front hall of the small building. The door is the wall Murphy just mentioned and the stairs leading upstairs. The stairs are a bit dilapidated, and there is a pillar with a decorative tower head at the bottom of the handrail.

Murphy stood next to the pillar and said to Robert Downey Jr., "When shooting, you will walk back and forth because of anxiety, and no matter how you walk, you must be within the scope of the painting on this wall."

"Angelic Fallen Picture?" Robert Downey Jr. obviously heard Murphy's words just now, and said, "I understand."

"And," Murphy pointed to the head of the tower on the pillar under the stair railing, "Where you are still shot, you must keep the head of the pillar pointing to your head."

Although he didn't quite understand why Murphy asked this, Robert Downey Jr. nodded seriously, "No problem."

Murphy patted Robert Downey Jr. on the shoulder, "You are familiar with the move, and you can control the stop and walk yourself."

After saying that, he walked out of the building and checked the camera set up opposite the door of Filey Raschel.

Everything is ready and the shooting begins.

According to Murphy's request, Robert Downey Jr. happened to stand between the door frame and the door. The shots taken by Filey Raschel also have a complete guide line, which will subconsciously guide the audience's eyes to a subject.

In photography, this is a tool that allows the audience to see the key points the director wants them to pay attention to.

In this shot, the angel's fallen painting on the wall will lead people to look at the door frame, and in the open door, the wire will lead people to look at the main character. In order to express it more clearly, Murphy even pointed the head of the pillar directly at Robert Downey Jr.'s head.
