"Kerry, I want to say sorry to you."

After listening to Carrie Mulligan’s choking description, Mike sighed, his tone full of sincerity, "It was my client who got the heroine."

Kerry Mulligan immediately looked over, his eyes widening.

Mike had already figured out what to do, "You know her, Murphy's former assistant, Jessica Chastain. She is now my contract client."

"She?" Kerry Mulligan's gloomy face darkened. "You..."

As if he didn’t see Kerry Mulligan’s face or heard her, Mike said to himself, “Kerry, don’t complain about this kind of thing, and don’t go to Murphy. Jesse will do it for him. After a long time..."

He deliberately emphasized the following words, "Personal assistant, isn't it normal for him to choose Jesse to give up other people?"

This sentence immediately diverted Kerry Mulligan's attention, and she turned her head back, silently looking into the distance.

"Hollywood is like this." Mike added, "Anyone chooses someone who is close to him."

Kerry Mulligan sat in the co-pilot and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he said, "Mike, can you send me to Santa Monica?"

"Of course." Mike nodded without hesitation. If I remember correctly, Murphy Stanton's new home is there.

Among the batch of brokers who walked out of the mail room together, he was originally the most promising one, and his ability was also recognized by the company and everyone else, otherwise Bill Rossis would not ask him to go see potential customers with him. But everything has changed.

He knows what Bill Rossis is relying on for his current position.

These may not be able to drag Murphy Stanton, it is bound to affect him, and he does not need to do anything.

Putting down Kerry Mulligan in the valley area of ​​Santa Monica, Mike drove towards Century City happily.

Opening the door and returning home, Kerry Mulligan walked into the living room of the main building, kicked off his sneakers, saw Murphy's picture frame placed on the entrance, grabbed it without thinking, and threw it out. Fortunately Throw it on top of the carpet, so it's not broken.

Her cell phone suddenly rang and she picked it up and looked at it. It was the agent Bill Rossis. After she was connected, she heard a few words over there, but her gloomy face didn't improve at all. "Just for these inexplicable things? Liz is My best friend! How can you do this?"

Kerry Mulligan's voice was raised again, "Don't tell me what Hollywood is like! I can see it myself! I'm not blind!"

Hanging up, she left the phone on the ground again.

Flopping down on the long sofa, Kerry Mulligan buried his face in a pillow, tears streaming down continuously, only feeling aggrieved by great grievances, not knowing how to explain to Elizabeth Banks.

Liz was so kind to her, although she only persuaded a few words when she had a conflict with Keira Knightley, but after that day, she stood on her side without hesitation, defending her everything.

They were so good to her good friend, to such a good person!

After receiving a call from Bill Rossis, Murphy went straight back home, and when she walked into the small building, she saw Kerry Mulligan, who was lying on the sofa and sobbing, sitting next to him.

"Still angry?" Murphy stroked her shoulder lightly.

Kerry Mulligan raised his head, his face was already lost, but he glared at him, "I don't want to talk to you!"

"Hey, my dear." Murphy has no experience in dealing with this situation, so he soothed, "Don't be angry, okay? I didn't mean to drive you away. The situation at the time was not suitable for talking about this."

How could a woman listen to these reasonable explanations at this time, Carrie Mulligan turned over and sat up, no tears on her face, just gloomy blackness.

Murphy said patiently, "Bill called you?"

Kerry Murray still glared, and didn't speak at all.

"I did that too..."

"Good for me?" Carrie Mulligan interrupted Murphy. "People all over the world are good for me! Julian Fellows is like this! My parents are like this! So are you!"

After speaking, she grabbed the pillow and threw it on Murphy, turned and ran to the stairs, and went straight upstairs.

When Murphy picked up the pillow on the ground, there was a huge door-slamming sound from the building, and the loud bang seemed to knock the whole building down.

Just about to go upstairs and explain a few more words, Murphy saw the mobile phone still on the carpet. After picking it up in the past, he found that there was something else near the coffee table.

Put the phone on the coffee table, bend over to pick up the photo frame, Murphy turned it over and took a look. The photo frame was not broken, but the outside glass was cracked with a big crack, which happened to pass through him in the photo, dividing him into In two parts.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

There was a noise upstairs, and there was the sound of something falling. Murphy sighed, put the photo frame, picked up the phone, and walked towards the stairs.

This was the first real conflict between him and Carey Mulligan since his relationship. At the beginning, Murphy was able to persuade him patiently. Later, Carey Mulligan was also aroused by his anger. His experiences on both sides of the strait add up to no more than two. He was in his early ten years when he was young and vigorous, and from the perspective of him and Bill Rossis, Carey Mulligan seemed to be making trouble out of nowhere.

In the next few days, Carey Mulligan locked himself in the master bedroom when he returned home and did not speak to him. Murphy simply moved into a bedroom in the annex building temporarily, intending to wait for Carey Mulligan to calm down. Have a good talk after you get down.

But the girl's rebellion was exactly as Murphy had predicted. She didn't say a word to him in the past week.

In the beginning, Murphy was still creating and looking for opportunities to ease the conflict and reconcile, but as time passed, the preparations for "Planet of Horror" became more and more. Although there is no need to be a part-time producer, many things are It was necessary for him as the director to personally participate, and gradually put this matter aside for the time being.

He left Los Angeles with Erica Steinberg, Kim Kleiman, Paul Wilson, Philip Raschel, David Robbie, Helena Espola, and went to California and Neda. A wilderness area at the border of China, to investigate locations suitable for filming needs.

Completely different from the previous two films, "Horror Planet" has a large number of location shots, and quite a lot of action scenes are shot in location.

Two commercial vehicles stopped by a bridge. Murphy was the first to get out of the car and walked to the bridge with the rusty metal guardrail. He looked down at the darkened river, and then looked towards the opposite bank. A piece of barbed wire, behind a large area of ​​typical wilderness clearing, can't see the end at a glance.

"Helen, Philip," Murphy greeted the two of them and pointed to the barbed wire fence. "How about setting up the barbecue restaurant over there?"

"There is no problem setting up the scene." Helena Espola said.

Philip Raschel raised his head and looked at the dazzling eyes. "The direct sunlight here in the afternoon will affect the long-range shooting and make it difficult to grade later."

Murphy nodded, "At that time, fine-tune the plan and put the long-range shots in the morning."

All the shots of this film took place in the dark, but the shooting would not do this. Basically, they would be shot during the day and then graded through the Da Vinci color palette in the later stage.

Erica Steinberg also followed, and the four of them briefly discussed it and decided that this place was the first choice for the location of the barbecue restaurant.

"Where is the town?" Helena Espola asked, "Should we also shoot the scene?"

"No, no, no!" Kim Kleiman, who had not spoken behind the four people, jumped out, "The cost of setting up the scene is too high and it will exceed the budget!"

Any plan that may exceed the budget is the object of his strong opposition.

He stood on the bridge head and pointed to the east, "I've been here once before. There is a small town over there. The location is remote and there is no renovation all the year round. It looks very dilapidated..."

Seeing how many people were watching, he said again, "Murphy, I think that town meets your shooting requirements."

Before Murphy came, representatives of the guarantee company and a location producer under Erica Steinberg had visited many places nearby.

It’s better if you don’t have to take a scene. Murphy nodded and walked towards the car, "Let’s go over and take a look."

The town is located about five miles away. It is very small. Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it is a small village. Murphy and his party walked around and determined that it was not bad. They contacted the management agency of the town. As shown in Hollywood movies, people in remote places are always hostile to outsiders. On the contrary, Murphy and his party are very welcome, and they happily agreed to cooperate with the filming.

In fact, the situation is not complicated. The crew is not shooting here for free, and it will definitely pay a fee, and so many people eat and drink Lhasa, which can also bring some income to this small town.

After spending five days in California and Nevada where he was socializing, Murphy managed all the location shooting and returned to Los Angeles. In addition to continuing to prepare the film, he also met with the international distributors brought by Harvey Weinstein. After all, part of the subsequent investment in the film comes from overseas pre-sales, and it is also necessary to give these distributors some confidence.

"Director Stanton, we look forward to your new work very much."

A representative of a film company from Israel expressed enthusiasm, "The Chainsaw is very popular in Israel. If possible, when "Planet of Horror" is released, I hope you can go to Israel with the crew to promote it. "

"I hope so too." Murphy can only respond vaguely.

This is a film invested and released by Miramax. Whether it will be promoted overseas, and how it will be formed, it will be determined by Miramax.

Sending off these overseas distributors, and giving the crew a Christmas holiday. The new year has just begun. Murphy led the crew to leave Los Angeles and start the filming journey.
