At the end of the day of shooting, Murphy handed over the work of cleaning up the set to Paul Wilson. He walked out of Studio No. 2 and prepared to talk to Robert Downey Jr., who was working out in Studio No. 3, about tomorrow’s shooting. The shooting of is far more difficult than today, mainly because there are a lot of rival scenes between Robert Downey Jr. and girl Nancy.

As we all know, children's play is extremely difficult to control, which requires not only the director's on-site guidance, but also adult actors.

Due to the limited number of small actors who signed up for the audition, Murphy and the crew finally chose a blonde girl named Nikki Milton, who performed very well during the audition.

The crew was still busy in Studio No. 2. When Murphy walked out, the outside seemed unusually quiet. The two studios were not far apart, but within half a minute, he arrived at the entrance of Studio No. 3. .

Just about to enter Studio No. 3, Murphy suddenly heard a strange sound on the left side leading to the back of the Disney studio, and couldn't help stopping.

He stopped and listened, the original Ruoyoruowu's voice suddenly became louder. This voice was familiar, and it was clearly a person howling in pain.

It seems to be a man, no...a boy to be exact.

There was no underage boy in the crew. Murphy immediately thought of Rutger Hall’s son Rein Hall. Could it be that he had some accident?

Thinking of this, Murphy turned around, walked along the wall of the studio, and walked there quickly. The closer he was to the passage at the corner of the wall, the more the boy's painful voice was.

When he approached the corner, besides these, he heard the voice of a girl.

The voice had a strong Australian accent, and only one **** the set had this voice, David Robbie's sister Margaret.

No matter how fast Murphy walked, turning around the corner, the first thing she saw was Margaret. The girl turned her back to this side, with her hands on her waist, looking down in front of her.

"I'm a hillbilly from Australia," the crisp words with accent continued to sound, "I see a lot of people like you who consider themselves noble, just some selfish, hypocritical, vain rubbish!"

As she spoke, she raised her leg and kicked the ground in front of her, and her little brown leather boots fell bitterly on a curled up person.

In front of Margaret, a boy was like a cooked prawn, curled up on the ground with his hands holding his stomach, his howling of pain was made by him.

With this kick on the body, the boy wailed again.

"Maggie!" Murphy hurriedly walked over, "What are you doing?"

Hearing the voice behind, Margaret turned her head and saw that it was Murphy. She didn't panic, and said naturally, "I'm educating Rein-Hall how to be a man."

Murphy ignored her and passed by, squatting next to Rein-Hal, separating the two at the same time.

"S...Mr. Stanton..." Rein-Hall also saw Murphy, turned his face on the ground, and said in pain, "Quick...Save me..."

Hearing this, Murphy relaxed, Rein-Hal should be fine.

"Can you get up?" Murphy took him by one arm. "What does it look like lying on the ground?"

"I..." Rein-Hall looked over Murphy who was squatting, just to see Margaret behind, and quickly shrank her neck, "I can get up."

Following the strength of Murphy's pulling, he stood up, still covering his stomach with one hand, and hiding behind Murphy's body, he seemed very afraid of Margaret.

Murphy looked at Rein-Hall, then at Margaret, Rein-Hall was nearly a head taller than Margaret...

He shook his head and looked at Margaret, "Maggie, what's the matter?"

"She..." Seeing Murphy, Rein-Hal seemed to have found the backer, half of his body flashed out from behind, and wanted to speak first. Margaret raised her small fist and shook it, and he opened it again. He swallowed the words back, looking terrified of Marguerite.

Margaret closed her fist, met Murphy's gaze, and said, "Since we met today, he has been calling me a hillbilly to show her superiority in various ways."

Murphy looked back at Rein-Hal, frowning slightly. Rutger-Hal is a gentle old drama bone, who left a very good impression on the crew, son...

Did Margaret lie? You can tell from Rein-Hall's expression. Murphy shook her head slightly and turned her head back, "So you hit him?"

"I'm really a hillbilly," Margaret picked up her pockets with both hands, "just use the way of a hillbilly to solve it."

She tilted her head and looked behind Murphy, "Who knew he was so tall, he didn't fight at all, he didn't look like a man at all."

Margaret grew up on a farm in Queensland. She grew up with horses, hounds and vast farmland, and her personality was like a cowboy.

"Well, Director S... Stanton," Rein-Hal whispered behind him, "You... can you... treat it as if you didn't see this?"

Murphy looked back at him suspiciously.

"If... if my father knew..." Rein-Hal lowered his head.

A twelve-year-old and a thirteen-year-old. This is two children fighting. This kind of thing is common all over the world. Murphy is too lazy to worry about it, "You two don't have another time!"

Rein-Hal nodded, and Margaret shrugged.

"Let's go," Murphy worries about leaving and fighting again, swinging her head, "Go back to the studio."

Margaret followed him, and Rein-Hal deliberately separated a certain distance, slapping the dust on his body as he walked, as if he was afraid that his father would see anything.

"Are all the boys in Los Angeles like him?" Margaret's voice is not loud, but Murphy can hear him, "I just use my mouth and fire a cannon, and when things happen, I turn my head into a turtle."

Without looking back, Murphy said, "Tell David yourself."

Margaret looked very responsible, "Of course I will be responsible for what I do."

Murphy regarded this as a fight between the two children, and didn't care about it. He went directly to Studio No. 3 to find Robert Downey Jr., and told him to pay attention to driving the child actress when shooting the next day.

But things didn't go as smoothly as expected. The children were emotional. Even though the child actor recruited for Nancy was twelve years old, something went wrong.

Before the filming started, Nikki Milton was still in good condition, but as soon as Murphy called to start, she was surrounded by three cameras, her face pale and nervous, her body stiff and unable to make any movements.

"Stop!" Murphy called to stop the crew for the fifteenth time, and Robert Downey Jr., who was playing with the girl, was already impatient.

To be honest, he was also a bit impatient. In order to reduce Nikki Milton’s tension, Murphy reduced the three cameras to two. The scene was cleared for the next few shootings to reduce the number of onlookers. The crew except for the necessary personnel Besides, few people can see the filming.

But she was still very different from what she did during the audition.

Murphy walked over and squatted patiently in front of Nikki Milton. Nikki Milton was right across from him, her hands trembling constantly, and her lips were a little pale...

"Hey, my dear," she didn't seem to see Murphy, she was stunned, Murphy slowed down as much as possible, and said patiently, "Look, there are no monsters here, no other people, and no one in your family. The difference, we are just playing games, there is a bad guy who wants to catch you, and he..."

Murphy pointed to Robert Downey Jr., "He is a good man and will come out to save you. This is a game."

From morning to afternoon, there was no progress in filming, and Murphy's patience was about to come to an end. The little girl seemed to hear his words and nodded vigorously.

"Take half an hour!" Murphy yelled, then nodded to the girl's mother and agent, and asked them to come over.

Compared to a strange director, these familiar people can relax the girl even more.

Frankly speaking, he really did not expect that the young actor who performed well during the audition would be so nervous when actually shooting on the set. Not to mention that he, the director, tried his best to guide her, even Robert Downey Jr. was also driving her. , The problem is that when the other party is nervous, it becomes a rock, and everything I did before was useless.

Murphy understands that when she auditioned, she only saw the image of young actors and their good acting skills, but ignored that they were not adult actors and ignored the important assessment of their psychological quality.

Not every kid with a talent for acting is as non-stage fright as Natalie Portman, Kirsten Dunst and Christina Rich.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Nikki Milton was not nervous this time, but it was even worse.

Murphy just started shouting, the camera lens turned to point at her, the girl opened her mouth and cried, the cry was still very loud, it was far from saying that her mother and agent came in to comfort her, obviously emotional collapsed.

"This is not the way," Robert Downey Jr. walked out of the set and found Murphy behind the monitor. "If this continues, we won't be able to complete a shot in a day."

Murphy nodded slightly and said to Paul Wilson, "Get Fran, Bill and Erica."

If you continue shooting, the representatives from the guarantee company will come over and ask for trouble.

Frank Miller and Erica Steinberg quickly found them.

"We can't drag on like this." Murphy frowned and said, "Let's change someone. Anyone of you who is familiar with the actor should contact one of you."

Like most Hollywood crews, there are special remarks in the contract signed between the crew and the young actors. Once the filming really fails, the two parties can coordinate to terminate the contract.

"I know Kristen Stewart's agent," Bill Rossis said, "but it's hard to say if the schedule is right."

Murphy's prediction is still not enough for the difficulties in this regard. If the young actors drag on for too long, it will definitely affect the crew's filming plan.

"Can you coordinate this week?" He asked again.

Bill Rossis and Erica Steinberg both shook their heads, but Frank Miller said suddenly, "I have a suitable candidate."
