"Your acting talent?" Murphy frowned. Margaret stretched her head to the front and turned to look at Murphy, as if she wanted to know his answer, "Yes, yeah, how about my acting talent?"

"Sorry, Maggie." Murphy shook his head without hesitation. "I don't see acting talent in you."

"What?" Margaret's voice raised immediately, "I have no talent for acting? How is this possible?"

She didn't believe Murphy's words, "I haven't been exposed to acting before, and I only tried shooting a few times today, and you just called pass!"

"Because I have very low requirements for you!" Murphy was telling the truth, "Maggie, you have not been exposed to performances, and many emotions cannot be expressed in place, including the last time, I called for approval. It is because the film treats this character. The requirements are not strict."

"Really?" Margaret was disappointed.

Murphy nodded seriously, "You have a very good psychological quality, you are not nervous, and you are not stage fright. I can give you 10 points in this regard, but when it comes to acting talent, you only have a normal level of 60 points."

He might look away, but the probability of such an estimate is still very high.

Margaret returned to her seat, somewhat frustrated, "I still think that if I can't become a female rider, I will be a good actress in the future."

"You can be an actor if you are not talented," Murphy comforted casually. "As long as the opportunity is good, you can be successful."

"Hey, forget it," Margaret waved her hand, "I'll wait until I get older."

In the subsequent filming, Margaret officially became the actor of the girl Nancy. David Robbie approached Bill Rossis and asked him to temporarily serve as Margaret's agent, and signed a contract with the crew. A formal actor contract.

Just like Murphy said, Margaret’s acting talent is average, and her performance in filming is not very good. However, the girl Nancy’s role is limited and the requirements are not too high, as long as it is not like Nikki-Mil. I was so nervous and couldn't help myself and howl, even if some emotions were not expressed in place, he could still get through.

After filming the filming of the girl Nancy, James Franco, who played Dwight, also joined it. Due to Murphy’s appearance, James Franco’s actor path has undergone tremendous changes, and the biggest change is him. Did not appear in the "Spider-Man" the little green devil, but together with Murphy and a few buddies, continue to fumble in independent films.

In the film, the three most important male characters are all different, as if they were celibate. Dwight played by James Franco has the least monologue, which just fits the character's cold label.

When shooting, each character’s shape design is also very distinctive. Everyone has an obvious feature that distinguishes them from others, and must be able to express the character’s characteristics, such as Marvel’s strange face, Dwight’s The red sports car, the cross scar on Hardy's forehead and so on.

However, the most eye-catching character is still the "yellow bastard" of the second generation of city officials.

This character spent nearly five hours putting on makeup before each shooting, and a lot of makeup was also needed during shooting.

The identity of the yellow **** is extremely prominent. The bishop controls the city by controlling the church, and his younger brother is a senator. The family power is strong enough to want their only child, Huang Bastard, to become the president of the United States. In this case, the so-called state apparatus has no justice at all. In fact, there is no essential difference between the police and the gang.

When Huang Bashang raped and killed little girls one after another, except for the retired old policeman with heart disease, Hardy, who decided to kill the people, the other police officers sat idly by. Hardy’s assistant even shot him, Dang Ha After Dee was seriously injured and rescued the young Nancy, the predecessor of Huang Bastard, Locke, relied on his own power to convict Hadi of rape, adultery and child sex.

At the same time as the shooting, the special effects team composed of three special effects studios also entered the Disney Studios and was responsible for processing the shots that Murphy had already shot. One of the most important tasks was color grading.

All of Murphy's shots are in color. To achieve the comic style with black and white as the main tone, a lot of color processing must be done.

In his spare time during shooting, Murphy also frequently communicated with the special effects team to review their processing effects in time.

As far as the production plan of "Sin City" is concerned, to express its creative concept, the use of color is undoubtedly an element that Murphy attaches great importance to.

There will be differences in the color tone and style of the scenes in the movie. One is for the needs of narrative, and the other is for the needs of visual style. There are often great differences between them.

The strong contrast brought by the two colors of black and white required by Murphy, coupled with the scheduling of the lens and the angle of the light, many shots can be viewed separately as an independent picture of the comics, especially the use of black in the film. The layers are rich, showing the original features of "Sin City", even reaching the image quality that color movies can't get.

Moreover, the advantages of movies in action scenes and the free use of colors are far superior to comics, which directly bring visually sharp effects.

"Most of the time, the shots are black and white, but the blood splashing out is so fierce and red that the blood covering the faces of the characters is particularly shocking."

In the special effects studio, Murphy told the special effects staff about the basic color adjustment concept, "This kind of black and white two-color throughout...no, there are actually red, yellow and green that are rendered to the extreme. Whether it is blood red The sky, the golden monster, and the green eyes of the beauties, in the world of pure colors of black, gray and white, they all look even more powerful!"

In addition to being able to fully fit the two-color world of the original comics, the movie will also bring effects that cannot be seen in the comics-without losing the visual impact, moderately reducing the negative effects of violence and blood for the audience, even Make some **** shots look quite humorous, and the film is easier to pass the MPAA R rating.

The overall shooting speed is not fast. Murphy has always been firmly in control of the rhythm of the crew. Since some of the shots that have been graded almost reproduce the comic scene, Frank Miller, who served as another director, did not become the filming. Tie, although the crew is relatively large, they can still unite together and work towards the same goal and direction.

In January of 2003, it passed. Murphy gave the crew three days off. David Robbie also asked him for a few days off. After playing Margaret for a while in Los Angeles, he took her off. Sent back to Australia.

Entering February, the filming continues to be busy, and more actors enter the crew, such as Ziyi-Zhang who plays Mihui and Rosario Dawson who plays Gail, and more actresses who will form Guilty The red light district of the city.

The crew also began to shoot more action scenes. Murphy not only used a lot of high-speed slow-motion, but also shot some fast-action shots appropriately, giving some action scenes a strong contrast between speed and slowness.

However, there is not much to see in the shots, and these shots rely more on the processing of post-production special effects.

For a week in a row, the Disney Studios Studio No. 3 was filled with women wearing **** leather outfits, guns or whips in hand. It was absolutely unstoppable drooling, according to the comics. According to the setting, the clothes on these female characters can't be shorter, and the clothes on these female characters can't be less.

As Murphy said before, he not only doesn't oppose **** that can mobilize the audience's emotions, but he also supports it.

During the filming, these **** actresses in front of the camera were also the focus of the crew's private discussions.

"I swear, Downey, I am absolutely not mistaken!"

During a break at noon, a few people gathered in Murphy’s director’s office, and Jonah Hill vowed to say, “After the crew got off work the night before, you walked into Rosario’s dressing room and spent the least amount of time in it. Twenty minutes!"

James Franco found mineral water from the cupboard, threw a bottle of Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Seth Logan and Jonah Hill each, and said, "It won’t be true. Right, Donny, your taste is too strong!"

Robert Downey Jr. did not deny either, raising his brows, "Jim, do I have your taste?"

Hearing this, all three of Murphy laughed, and Jonah Hill also gossiped to ask James Franco and Lily how far they are...

"You guys," Murphy squeezed out the mineral water and took a sip, warning these guys who were not doing well, "Don't mess around during working hours."

"Relax, Murphy," Robert Downey Jr. exclaimed, "We are all your strong supporters."

"That's right!" Jonah Hill booed, "Even if I want to be nonsense, I'm still off work."

He turned his head to look at Seth Rogen, "Don't you like Asian girls? How about that chapter."

Seth Logan touched his nose. "It's okay."

"It's better not to take her idea," Robert Downey Jr. warned. "Her suitor is Ivy Niwo, a Jewish person who has a deep connection with Hollywood."

James Franco also said, "We'd better not provoke those Jews, we can't afford to provoke them now."

"I'm not confused yet," Seth Logan distinguished for himself. "I don't like the type of chapter. The Asian girl I like has deep eye sockets and small nose..."

For a while, James Franco said, "Have you heard that the Miss Universe from various countries who participated in the finals of Miss Universe this year have arrived in Malibu. We need to train and promote there. We can go and see if we have time. ."

Murphy remembered the party he had lobbied for Frank Miller and asked, "When will the game be held?"

"Are you interested too?" James Frank thought for a while, "If I remember correctly, it seems to be coming soon, just a few months from now."

The five people agreed that if there is time, they will go to the Miss Universe contest together.

As time passed, the filming of the crew came to the end, and Jessica Alba also entered the Disney Studios.
