Hollywood Road

I just received a notice from the editor today, and it will be on the shelves next week. I'm going to cry. What if I don't save the manuscript! I can only do my best these days, so please give some recommendation votes to encourage you.

After another three days, Murphy adjusted the script again, and then switched to drawing storyboards and sub-shot artwork. This will not be the final version of the script, just like "Fruit Candies". He will also Modifications were made according to the situation during the shooting. The film was independently invested by Stanton Studios, and he, the director and producer, has the most power.

At the same time, auditions for actors are also in progress.

Like last time, Murphy posted a job advertisement in the local Los Angeles newspaper, and Bill Rossis also recommended several contracted actors under his name.

Although this is a low-cost plasma horror film, for newly debuted actors, the opportunity to appear in an official feature film is very rare.

In particular, the director’s previous movie entered theaters. If this movie can also enter theaters, the new actors in it will also have a decent qualification.

The actors Murphy first identified are undoubtedly the two male protagonists in the secret room. James Franco and Seth Rogen have signed a formal actor contract with the crew.

Another important female character was handed over to Carey Mulligan, but Murphy was a little strange. This British girl has been staying in school safely and steadily for this period of time, very unlike her style.

"The school is watching very closely..."

Sitting on a large chair in the living room of the studio, Kerry Mulligan shook his feet, put down the script in his hand, and said to Murphy, who had just hung up the phone, "Only when I get good enough results in the test, the school Will allow me to ask for leave."

Putting away the phone, Murphy sat back behind the drawing board and continued to draw the sub-shot artwork, "Is the test finished?"

"Not yet..." Kerry Mulligan shook his head, "Next week."

She stood up, walked behind Murphy, folded her arms, looked at the drawing board with interest, and said, "As long as I persist for less than two months, I will be completely free."

Murphy turned her head and glanced at her puzzledly. Carrie Mulligan pouted, reminding dissatisfied, "You forgot? I told you, I will quit school when I turn sixteen. ."

"Aren't you an exchange student?" Murphy couldn't understand these things in the United States. "Can you drop out?"

"Of course not." Kerry Mulligan was confident, "but I have already figured out a way."

Hearing what she said, Murphy knew it was not a joke, put down the carbon pencil in his hand, frowned, "This matter must be taken care of, it is best to discuss it with your parents."

"No!" Kerry Mulligan turned his head and walked back, "They will never agree, I don't want to discuss with them!"

Then he said dissatisfiedly, "Murphy, when did you become so long-winded."

Murphy closed his mouth altogether, continued his work, and stopped paying attention to the problem girl.

After the two sub-shots were drawn, there was a knock on the door outside, and Seth Rogen, who assisted Baker Klebert in organizing props in the small yard in front of the house, walked in with two people.

These are two women, one large and one small. The elder looks in her thirties, and the younger is about ten years old. They should be a mother and daughter.

"Murphy..." Seth Rogen brought the two people to Murphy's side. "These two are actors who have come to audition. They and Bill have made an appointment to meet here."

Murphy stood up, and Kerry Mulligan from behind immediately ran over and gave a towel. He took it and wiped his hands, then returned the towel, introducing himself, "Hello, this is Murphy Stanton. , The boss of this company and the director of the crew you are going to interview."

As he spoke, he looked at the two people without a trace, and he could see that the older woman was also examining him.

This woman wore exquisite makeup and looked quite tasteful in her dress. She carried a Chanel bag in her hand, which was obviously not a figure from the lower Hollywood.

"Hello, Director Stanton." The woman nodded to him and introduced herself, "I'm Jill Coron, and this is my daughter Lily."

"Hi, Lily." Murphy beckoned to the girl.

The little girl looked very educated and said politely, "Hello, Director Stanton."

There was footsteps at the door, and Bill Rossis turned out from the hallway, and when he saw Murphy and others, he hurriedly walked over.

"Sorry, Jill." He smiled apologetically to the middle-aged woman. "There is a traffic jam on the road, it's late."

The woman nodded at him, "It's okay."

She turned to look at Murphy, "When can we start the audition?"

"Please wait a moment." Murphy told Seth Rogen, "Take two guests to the lounge first and wait for my notice."

Seth Rogen took two women, one large and one small, to the lounge on the other side. Someone walked in at the door. James Franco and Paul Wilson were walking and talking, and they turned into the living room. At that time, his gaze turned to Seth Rogen without knowing how.

A face with bright eyes and white teeth, a sweet look, a little retro temperament...

With his feet still walking towards Murphy, James Franco's head couldn't turn around, feeling that the soul fire that he had been forcibly extinguished by Kerry Mulligan had been ignited again.

Fortunately, he still knew where this was, and tried his best to forcibly pull back his head, followed Paul Wilson, and came to Murphy's side.

"This is a client I signed a few days ago..." Bill Rossis was telling Murphy about the origins of these two people. "I finally convinced them to sign the contract. Jill Coron is Beverly Hills. The chairperson of a women’s club has considerable influence in the circle. She wants to pave the way for her daughter to perform in the future. If it hadn’t been introduced by friends, they would never choose me.

Murphy nodded, "As long as her daughter can be above the level."

The benefits of having a good relationship with such a person far outweigh the disadvantages.

"That little girl is a second-generation star." Bill Rossis continued. "Her father is a veteran British singer who once won an Oscar."

James Franco has been standing next to Murphy, pretending to be indifferent, diagonally across from him, Carey Mulligan, who puts a towel on his chest, looked at him with his big smart eyes blinking.

This little client was obviously valued by Bill Rossis, and he told Murphy a few words, he turned and left, and walked towards the lounge where they were.

When Bill Rossis walked away, James Franco asked in a low voice, "Murphy, did both of you audition just now?"

"No," Murphy shook his head. "That little girl is."

"Oh?" James Franco's eyes lit up. "Isn't it my daughter?"

"Yes." Murphy walked towards the audition room. "The role she auditioned for is your daughter in the film."
