Hollywood Road

The crew is located in a temporary office by the sea in Santa Monica. Recently a large number of entertainment agents have been haunted. Some of them can be found in front of Murphy's office, but they are all stopped by Rosa Rodriguez, who acts as a temporary assistant director. Down, this Latin woman with an unusually strong figure stunned those purposeful entertainment agents and actors and actresses who came to speculate.

Since the official establishment of the project, quite a lot of people who have been involved in the relationship have wanted to squeeze into the crew and get a place.

There were even people who came here under the name of Gal Gadot's distant relatives.

This is very common in Hollywood, and human relations are inevitable. The best way is to avoid them, so Murphy specially invited Rosa Rodriguez, who is particularly heavy, to come to visit.

Of course, this is only for outsiders.

As the head of the lighting team, David Robbie could easily meet Murphy, but this time he came here not for work.

"Something?" Murphy sat behind the desk, looking at David Robbie who was hesitant to talk. "David, sit down and say something straight."

In his team, David Robbie may not be the best in ability, but he is a relatively simple person, as famous as Seth Rogen.

David Robbie pulled the chair across from the desk, sat down, and said, "That's it, Murphy, isn't the crew recruiting a lot of actors?"

"Yes." Murphy nodded, knowing roughly what he was coming from, and said with a smile, "Do you have someone to recommend? Just say it."

In terms of using familiarity and not producing, Murphy is actually very similar to the other side of the Pacific. Murphy is not a person who does not understand the world, especially the main members of his team. The recommended candidate will at least give him an audition opportunity.

"Someone wants to recommend..." David Robbie scratched his head embarrassedly. "My sister has taken a long vacation to study acting in Los Angeles. It has been a while, but I don’t have any actual acting experience. Little character."

In the shooting, there are a lot of background characters who only show their faces and have no lines. There is not much difference between who they use, and there is no difficulty in this kind of thing.

Murphy didn't even think about it, "You take her to Seth Rogen."

"Okay." David Robbie stood up. "Thank you, Murphy."

"You are too polite." Murphy smiled, frowned slightly, and asked, "Your sister? Margaret?"

He can vaguely remember the blond girl who rode a pony on the farm back then, and later starred in Nancy as a girl when filming "Sin City".

I haven't seen each other for so many years, and gradually forgot the specific appearance of the other party.

David Robbie saw that Murphy still remembered his sister, and said quickly, "It's her, it's Margaret."

In any case, this is considered to be someone I know, and Murphy thinks a little, then said, "Tell Seth to find a good character for Margaret."

Having said this, he returned to work, and David Robbie went to Seth Logan happily.

The preparations for "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" are moving forward step by step according to the plan. The most important job at this stage is casting. Just like David Robbie, Murphy uses it in many roles. For candidates recommended by friends or acquaintances, such as Geoffrey Baratheon, the crew has determined that Dave Franco will play the role, he is the younger brother of James Franco.

Although he was a little older, Dave Franco was born with a baby face, and with proper makeup, it was not a big problem.

Another certain candidate is Sean Bing. The British actor participated in the audition for the crew without thinking about it long. He is also one of the most famous actors in the crew in the future.

Of course, his salary is not cheap, and a single episode reaches 400,000 US dollars.

This is a normal market situation. The enthusiasm of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has not yet receded. Boromir has also been sought after by many people. Now it can be said that Sean Bin became an actor in his peak period.

Another important male character, Jon Snow, Murphy, through a wide range of auditions, confirmed an unknown newcomer actor under CAA.

Under the same conditions, Murphy will of course choose his own person first.

All Hollywood is doing this, which is understandable.

In terms of the two most important female roles, Linna Heidi has not yet appeared in "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors". She has limited qualifications and reputation. The crew did not spend much effort and cost to get the British actor.

And Daenerys-Targaryen's candidate, Murphy also left to acquaintances.

In the view of attracting male audiences as much as possible and using familiarity, coupled with the positive response of the actor himself, Murphy decided to play the role by Jessica Alba after two auditions.

Although Daenerys Targaryen in the original book is petite and exquisite, Jessica Alba itself is not particularly tall, not to mention the burly appearance like Charlize Theron, slender and slender with beautiful **** appearance , Is also very suitable for the requirements of this role, and George Martin has no objection.

As for acting, that’s not a problem. Small-screen acting doesn’t require explosive power like movies. Jessica Alba is good enough to deal with it, and this role doesn’t require great acting skills.

Having said that, in Murphy's few impressions, the former Daenerys Targaryen may not be better than Jessica Alba.

In addition to the actor and other preparations, Murphy also worked with George Martin to make the final revisions to the script. The main revisions were basically from one character, Daenerys Targaryen.

The main storyline about her will not change. The character setting is also based on the original. What Murphy wants to change is Daenerys Targaryen's too obvious opening phenomenon.

During the communication with George Martin, Murphy learned that this is one of his favorite characters, and it is inevitable to be biased in creation. Compared with other main characters, Daenerys Tan is hard to see the halo of the protagonist. Grian can almost be described as frequent openings.

From the very beginning, the other protagonists have been suffering from misfortune and tragedy. There is no worst but worse, never luck. Compared with them, Daenerys Targaryen’s life is like riding on a rocket. If sometimes a little bit of unlucky, then the plot will help her open a bigger hang to compensate her later.

Compared to other protagonists, Daenerys Targaryen's line tends to make people feel quite unbalanced.

Of course, Murphy is mainly responsible for commenting and reviewing, and specific modifications will still respect the opinions of the original author, George Martin.

If this series can get on the right track, there is still a long way to go. There is no need to have too many conflicts with the original author. It is harmful and unhelpful. In many cases, compromise can often achieve better results.

George Martin is not the kind of stubborn person who has already seen, and he also appropriately adopted some of Murphy's suggestions, which will make Daenerys Targaryen's road a bit more difficult.

Over time, most of the main actors were basically determined. Except for Sean Bing and Jessica Alba, Murphy did not use other well-known actors. Most of the casts are those that have been mixed for many years and have not become famous. The main candidates are selected, so that you can save money on film remuneration and have more funds to invest in shooting and production.

After several consecutive meetings of the production committee, Murphy also determined that after the initial break-in, the crew will be divided into three shooting groups, one large, two small, and he will give Paul Wilson and Seth Rogen the right to shoot separately. .

The preparations for the crew in North America are also coming to an end. After finishing the final work, Murphy is ready to lead the entire crew across the Atlantic Ocean to Northern Ireland on the other side.

Because of Murphy's continuous success, many people and companies in Hollywood are paying attention to his dynamics. When they heard that he had thrown away movies and chose to direct and produce very unpopular fantasy TV series, most of them were sitting on the sidelines and waiting for this. A new Hollywood director who doesn't know the heights of the sky has a big somersault.

"Do you think he will succeed?"

In the luxurious office on the top floor of the Burbank Warner Building, Diego Harris looked at the new CEO Bruce Rosenblum across from him, and said, "There has never been a successful precedent for fantasy TV series."

He was extremely puzzled, "Why did he choose this subject matter?"

"This person's thoughts are always different from ordinary people." Bruce Rosenblum folded his arms, "Did you think he would choose Deadpool as a marginalized comic character after being rejected by Warner and DC? Can you think that "Deadpool" will eventually sell for $300 million in North America?"

Diego Harris shook his head, "I dare not think about it."

Bruce Rosenblum said again, "Also. You can imagine that after "Deadpool", he went to direct "The Lost Lover" and mocked all the values ​​of Hollywood as a golden rule, according to normal circumstances. Said that such a film will definitely be resisted by the audience, but as a result..."

He opened his hands, "The Lost Lovers sold more than 220 million U.S. dollars in North America, which proves to us that the so-called Hollywood movie value orientation can also be broken."

"Such a person..." Bruce Rosenblum raised his voice slightly, "Even if he chooses the most popular subject matter and the film's value orientation is counter-mainstream, I think he has a high chance of success."

Diego Harris thought for a while and nodded vigorously.

"You didn't read the plan seriously at the beginning." Bruce Rosenblum continued, "I was the only one who browsed it roughly. I still think that Murphy Stanton is the one who can lead the DC superhero movie. People who walked out of the trough and regained their glory!"

The fiasco of "Superman Returns" allowed him to take the opportunity to sit on the throne of Warner Bros. CEO. The DC comic film ruined Bruce Berman's future, and it was also related to his future and destiny.

"What shall we do next?" Diego Harris asked.

Bruce Rosenblum said calmly, "I'll go to Murphy Stanton and talk to him."
