The lights in the long corridor were dim, showing a strange quietness. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps sounded. Margot Robbie in a capable suit broke into the camera and walked closer to the camera along the corridor.

Then, a camera controlled by Philip Raschel moved slowly along the slide, continuously shooting Margot Robbie's profile from the side.

Margot Robbie kept a steady pace and walked to a large glass window, which was completely separated from the corridor by an iron fence, forming an independent space. Many people were sitting there, looking at the front. A man in a dark red suit who behaves quite funny.

She turned her head to look inside, and Philip Raschel's camera lens looked like the heroine's eyes and turned to the room.

At the same time, another camera controlled by a camera assistant officially started shooting in the camera position in the corner of the room.

Murphy ignored Margot Robbie on the monitor screen, and turned his gaze to James Franco.

Philip Raschel’s shots have been swept over Robert Downey, Seth Rogen, and Jonah Hill one by one, and given enough close-ups to the three of them, and finally stayed at James Franco’s. Body.

At this time James Franco was like a complete lunatic.

Before filming, Murphy told James Franco that his performance should be explosive and crazy enough.

And James Franco did the same.

"Do you know what this is?"

James Franco took out a plastic ball of the same color as clothes from his pocket, grabbed it in his right hand and lifted it up and shook it to a dozen people on the opposite side. His face was full of crazy expressions, "You think this is an ordinary Is it a plastic ball? Huh? Is it? Do you think it is? Or is it not? Or maybe it is, it may not be?"

The dozen or so people sitting opposite lacked interest and did everything. Robert Downey Jr. was reading the newspaper, Jonah Hill was drooling at Seth Rogen, and Seth Rogen was dumbfounded... …

Few people care about what James Franco says or does.

But James Franco didn't care at all, and continued loudly, "Wrong! You are all wrong! You thought it was a plastic ball, but it's not!"

Having said that, he suddenly shook his right hand. When it opened, the plastic ball was gone. The camera lens randomly turned to his left hand, and the plastic ball appeared on James Franco's left hand.

James Franco raised his left hand, looked at the ball and said, "This is the key to chaos! Chaos and killing are the best medicine to save the world!"

At the most appropriate moment, Philip Raschel’s lens turned back to Margot Robbie, and he walked quickly to Margot Robbie.

"He was also sent by the police?" Margot Robbie looked at James Franco and asked, "I don't remember having his information."

The staff member shook his head quickly, "He is not, he is a magician, there is a mental problem."

Margot Robbie took one last look, shook his head and walked away, muttering to herself, "A magician?"

Having said that, without knowing why, she stopped again, and instead of walking away as described in the script, she said, "Weird person."

"Stop!" Murphy yelled to stop. Margot Robbie quickly got rid of the character. Thinking of the last scene, she couldn't help but pat her forehead lightly, as if she made a mistake in the end, and she probably had to take another shot. , But what I didn't expect was that Murphy's words sounded again, "Maggie, James, well done! This one is over!"

Margot Robbie was stunned. "This one is over?"

Later, she wanted to understand, and her sudden and spontaneous performance on the spot was recognized by the director Murphy.

Behind the director's monitor, Murphy waved his hand to the crew assistant who brought the water glass, indicating that he didn't need it for the time being, and asked the assistant director to arrange the next scene. He rewinded the scene just shot and looked at it.

Margot Robbie’s final play did not meet the requirements of the script, but Murphy has never been a rigid director, and Margot Robbie’s live performance inspired him, Margot Robbie and James Franco. Can you dig deeper into the drama?

The magician of James Franco will be the main character in the second part and kill Jay Rachel, played by Margot Robbie, making the whole story darker and gloomy...

This is also the main reason why the studio only signed an agreement with Margot Robbie for two actors. There will be no more Jay Rachel in the third film.

But now, from Margot Robbie's interesting eyes to James Franco, Murphy suddenly felt that Jay Rachel could continue to exist and have more intersections with the magician.

The magician is a crazy villain, but he has his own logic, and that logic is still attractive. If Jay Rachel’s original beliefs are broken by the magician, what will she do if she loses the support of her beliefs? Is it even more jealous or hatred, or just throw away the previous beliefs and completely become another person?

People's hearts are always complicated. When faced with extremely difficult situations, people will always make some unexpected choices.

He can completely increase the weight of the role of Jay Rachel, and use this role to show the possible results caused by mutations in human ideas and ideologies.

But the time of a film is limited, and Jay Rachel’s role becomes heavier, which will inevitably weaken the role of other characters. How to balance the various roles without appearing out of balance?

Perhaps, the role of another prosecutor can be eliminated...

This thought uncontrollably appeared in Murphy's mind, and it became stronger and stronger, as if it had to be done.

But Murphy also knows very well that if this is the case, many of the stories in the second part will basically be overturned, many characters and frameworks need to be rebuilt, and the final fate of Margot Robbie's character must be handled with caution. Whether it died at the end of the second part or reappeared in the third part, it needs to be carefully measured.

This situation can be described as touching the whole body.

Thinking of this, Murphy shook his head and got rid of it temporarily. The ongoing shooting is more important. Whether Margot Robbie's role is changed or not, he can wait until the film is finished, and he calms down a little bit. Thinking.

"Hi, Murphy."

Seth Logan greeted him. Murphy turned his head to look. He had already walked over and nodded and said, "Is this going to leave?"

Including James Franco, they didn't have many shots in this film.

"A few of them went to the studio." Seth Rogen was not polite, pulled a chair, sat on Murphy's left hand, and said, "My new project is about to begin preparations, you finish this filming. Is there time for this movie? How about going to play a role with me?"

"Me?" Murphy pointed to himself, "You know my acting skills, "The Hangover" has been criticized a lot, and it has pulled you back, so forget it."

Where did Seth Logan give up easily, and then said, "This time is different, you forgot? You are in the film, or you are yourself."

Murphy has read the script and plan for a long time, knowing that there will be no fictional characters in the film, and all the characters are based on real identities.

For example, if he plays, he is still Murphy Stanton and Hollywood director in the film, which is exactly the same as his real life identity.

In this way, the difficulty of the performance is indeed greatly reduced.

Seth Rogen continued, "I want to make it a big gathering of our Stanton party members. The main characters in the film are a few of us and our friends. Without you, it would be seriously incomplete. "

"A few of them agreed to play?" Murphy asked.

"Of course!" Seth Logan would not tell Murphy his plan. "I have invited a lot of people."

Murphy thought for a while, and finally nodded slowly, "Okay, count me."

Hearing Murphy say this, Seth Logan relaxed, but didn't leave, and said, "You can get Gail together."

"Don't ask me for this kind of thing." Murphy waved his hand. "You can talk to her by yourself."

Seth Rogen shrugged, "Well, I'm going to see Gale."

In their eyes, Gal Gadot is completely centered on Murphy. As long as Murphy agrees to play, it is not difficult to get Gal Gadot.

In fact, except for Robert Downey Jr.'s departure beforehand, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and James Franco had no plans to leave at all. The three of them moved separately and appeared everywhere in the warehouse studios in Venice. , Frequent contact with the people of Murphy's production team, all kinds of rhetoric are endless, it is bound to bring them to appear in front of the stage together.

The effect is also quite good. Seth Logan succeeded in advocating Gal Gadot, and under the banner of Gadot, he brought in Margot Robbie and David Robbie brothers and sisters; James Ford Ranko successfully won Philip Raschel and Helena Espola; Jonah Hill had a chat with Christopher Waltz and others, and it was quite fruitful.

Of course, most people are just friendly guest appearances, otherwise the actor's pay alone will overwhelm the entire budget.

For this film, Stanton Studios only issued a budget of 30 million U.S. dollars, and it is impossible to support so many star actors.

Therefore, the vast majority of celebrity actors are just friendly guest appearances.

In the following period of time, while Murphy was shooting, he also asked Gal Gadot to pass on the developments of Seth Rogen’s project to him in a timely manner. Preparations for this project officially began in mid-November. Rogan gave up the original title of "Apocalypse" and renamed it "The End of the World."

Also, Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jonah Hill lobbied everywhere and attracted more celebrity cameos.
