Hollywood Road

Chapter 197: Let go of that girl

Everyone turned their eyes to Frank Miller, who was not very close to Hollywood.

"I think there is someone who is very suitable, and there is no need to wait or delay shooting." Frank Miller seemed to think about it when he came over, "There is a little **** the set these days, who often asks me about filming... Um, she is very quick thinking about the issue of the "Sin City" comics. I think I can give it a try."

Paul Wilson immediately thought of who it was, "Are you talking about David's sister?"

Frank Miller nodded, "This role doesn't need much acting skills, as long as it's not nervous... I don't think that little girl will be stage fright."

Murphy and Erica Steinberg exchanged opinions in a low voice, beckoning to the front, "David, come here."

David Robbie put down the job at hand and walked over immediately. Murphy simply said a few words to him. David Robbie seemed a little embarrassed, "Maggie has a wild temper, I don't guarantee that she can agree."

"Try it." Murphy said again to Bill Rossis. "You can also contact me to see if you can find a suitable candidate."

Having made a mistake once, Murphy will of course not continue to hang himself on a tree.

Leaving the shooting set, David Robbie soon found his boring sister playing handheld games in a corner of the studio.

"Let me go acting?" Margaret was surprised after hearing his narration, "I haven't learned acting again!"

"Something went wrong with the little actor on the crew," David Robbie persuaded, "Just let you go and try it."

Margaret turned off the game console and seemed to be thinking very seriously.

David Robbie said again, "You should help me."

Looking up at her brother, Margaret nodded slightly, "All right."

She followed David Robbie into the set and saw Murphy first. Murphy nodded to her, "Don't be nervous..."

Margaret shrugged and grinned as carelessly as before. "I'm never nervous."

"Jack, take Maggie to make-up." Murphy called her makeup artist over. "She is about the same figure as Nikki Milton, and the costume should still be usable. After putting on the makeup, bring it over. I want to look at it. Makeup effect."

Acting in a movie is not something that can be counted by just pulling someone over. The girl Nancy has a close-up role, not a passerby who acts as a background board.

Murphy and several people returned to the director's monitor to discuss the next step of the filming, and David Robbie also followed.

He was still a little worried. When Murphy's discussion was suspended, he asked, "Murphy, is Maggie suitable? She has never learned to act."

"I'll get it right away." Murphy glanced at his watch. "If it's inappropriate, let's not force it."

After another twenty minutes or so, Margaret was taken out of the dressing room by Jack Watson. Her denim dress was gone. She was replaced with a light-colored double-shoulder dress, which was originally casually combed into a ponytail. The blond hair, which has also been carefully taken care of, draped smoothly on his shoulders.

Compared to Nikki Milton, who had an excellent audition effect, Margaret's eyebrows were a bit weaker, with a unique strength.

"Philip!"

Murphy greeted, and Philip Raschel immediately let his camera assistant over and brought Margaret to the camera lens. He operated the high-definition digital video camera and gave Margaret a close-up of the face, a close-up of the whole body, and a distant view. Shooting with different lenses and close-up shots, the effects of the shots were also transmitted to Murphy's director's monitor for the first time.

"Hmm..." Frank Miller nodded first when he saw it, "Very good!"

Murphy is not the only preconceived notion, Frank Miller is no exception, and this is the person he recommends and must be supported in the first place.

After seeing a few shots next to him, Murphy thought it was just okay. Marguerite may be the reason for her temperament since she was a child. The effect of wearing makeup is not very good, not too bad, according to audition standards. , Which is a passing score of sixty points.

"What do you think?" Murphy asked Erica Steinberg.

For a child actor, the crew has been delayed for almost a day. If possible, Erica Steinberg nodded and said, "The makeup effect is okay, try it."

Murphy squeezed his chin, looked at Margaret in the camera again, and then slapped his palm hard, "Attention everyone, try one!"

He left the position of director and walked to the set, calling Robert Downey Jr. and Rise, who played the son of the senator, over.

"Maggie, I will try it out in a while." Murphy looked at the girl, "These two are your partners. He is Robert Downey Jr., and he is Riiser Oxon."

Both actors greeted Margaret kindly.

Margaret is not stage fright at all, just looking around curiously, standing in front of the green screen background and the camera lens, it feels completely different from looking outside.

"Maggie, you were taken away by Rise," Murphy took the time to talk to Margaret, "and was rescued by Downey..."

Explaining the requirements of the role carefully, he personally demonstrated the position of Nancy. There is no need for Margaret to move too much, just a relatively simple position change.

Afterwards, let Robert Downey Jr. and Riise together lead Margaret to become familiar with the position.

Half an hour later, Murphy stood behind the director's monitor and said, "Test shooting begins!"

Locke held Margaret and ran up to the green screen arranged in the shape of a small pier. Robert Downey Jr. in a trench coat chased him with a pistol and blocked him on the bridge.

"Rock, surrender!" Downey's gun pointed at Rise, "Let go of that girl!"

"You can't move me, Hardy!" Risser lied inwardly, "You know who I am, you know who my father is, so you dare not move me!"

"I do not care!"

Downey’s gun was aimed at Rise, and Rise let out a scream, fell to the ground, and let go of Margaret. Just as Murphy explained and the previous drill, Margaret hurriedly crawled. When I reached the edge of the "bridge", hidden by a circular green-screen pier, I looked at the two people.

Philip Raschel's main camera immediately turned around and gave her a close-up shot.

Seeing this shot on the monitor screen, Murphy shook his head and shouted directly, "Stop!"

Calling to stop the test shooting, Murphy walked into the set and beckoned to Margaret, who was confused and didn't know what was happening, "Maggie."

"Oh," Margaret stood up and walked over. "Is it my fault?"

She has been in the crew for several days, knowing that the director called to stop, usually there are problems with the shooting, and the actors who have the most problems are usually the actors.

Margaret was just a newbie who was temporarily pulled over to try. Murphy called her over and said, "Maggie, what should a girl look like when she sees two men shooting at each other with guns?"

"Excited? Scared?" Margaret asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it's just fear," Murphy said as a reminder. "You weren't afraid just now."

"Afraid..." Margaret scratched her face and said embarrassedly, "I haven't been afraid for years, so think about it."

Murphy gave her ten minutes to find her feelings. Margaret had never studied as a professional actor. After ten minutes, her filming performance was still average, but Bill Rossis and Erica Steinberg participated in the performances. The young actors who had auditioned didn't get in touch smoothly, and no suitable actors were found within a short period of time.

Children are an uncontrollable factor in the crew, which is recognized by all crews. Those little actors with good psychological qualities and some acting skills are scarce resources throughout Hollywood.

Hearing the news from Bill Rossis and Erica Steinberg, Murphy is resistant to temper. Margaret's acting skills are indeed terrible, but she is more suitable than the previous Nikki Milton. She is a little bit better. No stage fright, no idea what tension is.

Like Nikki Milton, she does have some acting skills. The problem is that her mental quality is not enough. When she auditioned for a camera and a few people, she performed well. In the real shooting surrounded by cameras on the set, she actually broke down directly. Can't continue to use it.

Fortunately, Margaret has no acting skills, but she is a clever girl who can find the problem from her mistakes. On the last test shooting on this day, Murphy directly yelled through. This one does not need to be re-shooted, but can be directly taken. Used as material for post-production.

Of course, this will not be available until the crew signs a contract with Margaret and her guardian David Robbie in the United States.

"Thank you both,"

Margaret was very kind and polite to those who were willing to help herself. After the crew stopped, she specifically found Robert Downey Jr. and Riiser Oxon, "I'm dragging you down."

"It's okay." Faced with such sincere thanks from a girl, the two just smiled.

At the end of the day's work, Murphy walked out of the studio and got into a battery car. Just about to start leaving, a clear voice called him, "Wait for me!"

Margaret leaned on the left wall of the studio. After seeing Murphy, she walked over and got into the battery car.

"Something?" Murphy started the car and asked.

He could see that Marguerite was waiting for herself.

"Yeah," Margaret took off her backpack and put it on the seat next to her. "David has something to do. Go to the studio door first. Will you take me for a ride?"

The battery car was not fast and drove slowly towards the door of the Disney studio. Murphy didn't speak, but just concentrated on driving.

"What do you think of my performance today?" Margaret asked suddenly.

Murphy replied casually, "It's okay."

"I watched other people's shooting a few days ago. Today I found out that the performance is quite interesting." Marguerite seemed to be aroused. "Being in front of the camera, suddenly becoming another person. It’s interesting to ride a horse on the farm."

"Really?" Murphy turned to look at her, Margaret nodded eagerly, and then said, "I have heard people say that a good actor needs talent, what do you think of my talent?"
