Chapter 92: Juno restart


Chapter 92—Junuo Restart
Flame Film Company announced on the official website the plan for the release of two films in the second half of the year. The first is "The Fragment of Memory". This independent film, which won the first screenwriter award at the Sundance Film Festival this year, will be held on Halloween. A small-scale release is scheduled. (Reading novels) This is something that was expected. I bought "The Fragment of Memory" from the record-breaking 8 million in the Flame movie. The media and film companies knew that it would be released. Wang Yang showed that to people. The dizzy suspense is considered a baby.
For ordinary audience fans, there are some expectations, not because the director is Christopher Nolan, and his popularity is close to none; but because it is so valued by the flame film and Wang Yang, and received the festival. The best screenwriter may be a very good movie. However, the flame film did not disclose any information about the story of "Memory Fragment". The newly launched "Memory Fragment" official website has only one jigsaw game that can be played online. The complete picture is the movie ’s stills, which also allows This movie adds a lot of mystery.
But what really made the media pay attention, excited the fans of the fans, and made the major film companies vigilant is the second plan announced by Flame Movies. Wang Yang will start to produce the long-prepared "Junuo". The three roles of film, director, and screenwriter, "Junuo" will be released this Christmas and the heroine "Junuo" is selected. The flame movie has not been announced yet; but Wang Yang revealed some of the contents of "Junuo": "This is a drama about a high school girl's pregnancy. Juno is a 16-year-old high school student. She is pregnant and the story begins."
"Energetic Magical Yang" This is the report of "The Los Angeles Times": "The third week of" When Happiness Comes to Knock "has just begun, and the magical kid is about to shoot the next movie. A plan announced by "When Happiness Comes to Knock", "Junuo." His production speed is surprising, but maybe this is the magical Yang. When I read "When Happiness Comes to Knock," it is about whether his mind is hot. The topic is no longer needed. "
"It is worth noting that the" Junuo "plan was announced by him last July. At that time, he auditioned thousands of girls for Juno's selection. Eventually the official explanation was that" the shooting plan will be postponed due to the selection of the heroine. " ; And now he obviously has found the girl, although we do n’t know who.

Relative to the curiosity of Juno's candidates, whether it is the media or the fans, the focus at this time is more on Wang Yang's "content", a high school girl pregnancy drama? Is n’t it a romantic campus love story? Isn't it a comic comedy like "American School"? Everyone who is actually about teenage pregnancy knows that this is a default taboo topic. This is a thankless thing. It can be said that there are no successful examples. How do you prepare for the 20-year-old Magic Yang? What is he going to say?
The editor ’s comment in the
Los Angeles Times
report said:
This seems surprising, but seriously, I had expected this for a long time. The performance of Miracle Yang in
When Happiness Comes to Knock on the Door
proves that he is super His age-based directorial ability also explains his pursuit of feature films. He is no longer a director of "teenage movies", since he gave up directing "High School Musical 2", announced "Junuo", "When happiness comes to knock on the door" "Plan, it can be seen that he has the idea," I will not shoot ordinary campus stories. If I want to shoot, I will shoot some difficult ones ", an ambitious young man."
But can Wang Yang shoot it? Will "Juno" be a high-level movie? This time the media did not make predictions, only expressed some expectations, and at the same time hinted that "this subject is difficult." Fans on the Internet can talk freely. They are very excited and looking forward to "Junuo". The higher the difficulty, the better. Only in this way can it be ridiculous and meet the style of Magic Yang, right?
"Guess what kind of movie" Junuo "will be? Girl pregnancy is a serious topic, so will it be a serious preaching movie? Tell us to do use condoms? Or should high school students not do ? "This popular post has quite a lot of replies:" I do n’t think so, he had a girlfriend in high school, maybe "Junuo" is the story of his high school, but we ca n’t see him having an illegitimate child, so this is for abortion. Story. "," Man, that's absolutely impossible, unless Miracle Yang is crazy, I firmly oppose abortion. If Miracle Yang agrees, I won't like him anymore. "
This is where the theme of teenage pregnancy is difficult. Seeing "teen pregnancy" reminds people of abortion. Is abortion okay? Is it legal? Once you express your point of view, you will offend half of the people, so that's why it's hard to please, why there is no similar movie of success.
In April of this year, 20th Century Fox launched a rare film "Sweetheart Yiren", which is teenage pregnancy. At a cost of 15 million, in the first week of 2437 theaters, it only received 18 million box office from the box office. In terms of performance, it failed. However, the evaluation it received was not bad, because it did not talk about pregnancy too much, and it did not involve the point of view of abortion. Its story focuses on the heroine Novara being strong and kind, knowing to find beauty, pregnancy is just a Just the beginning.
More than ten minutes after the opening, Novali gave birth to a child; after another ten minutes, the child raised by Novali was more than three years old, and then took the child Novari to pursue her love and happiness ... This is The story of "Sweetheart Iraqi". Is this the same for "Juneau"? If this is the case, why should "Junuo" continue to be magical? Fans of Wang Yang were also very worried while looking forward to it.
Wang Yang did not disclose more information about "Junuo", but he will not remain mysterious in the end. That kind of publicity is not suitable for campus dramas. The content of "Junuo" will be gradually revealed in stages to let fans. Maintain attention to it. And now it is not lacking in attention. If the news of Natalie Portman ’s starring in Juno is announced, probably the gossip tabloids will boil. He has been busy enough recently and does not want to be disturbed by gossip. After finding it, we will announce it together.
"Rachel, are you okay?" Wang Yang lay on the sofa, looking at a golden popcorn trophy on the coffee table, and asked the phone: "Is the cold better?" Rachel over there gently Um, I said, "Thank you, I'm fine, I'm almost done."
Last night was the awarding time of the 9th MTV Film Awards. The MTV Film Awards is an international film award held by the MTV Global Music Television Network. Unlike the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, its award is not determined by the judges, but completely. Produced by the vote of ordinary audience. Therefore, "High School Musical" has been nominated for 5 awards including Best Film, Actor Progress Award (Tom Willing), Actress Progress Award (Jessica Alba), Best Music, Best Scene, etc. It is the most popular in this MTV Movie Awards.
Wang Yang, Jessica, Tom Willing, Zachary and others were invited to participate in the recording of the award ceremony, but Rachel, who was also invited, did not attend because she had a bad cold. The MTV Film Awards finally ended in a joyous clamor, and the best film was won by "The Matrix"; "High School Musical" only took the gold popcorn trophy for the best music.
"That's good." Wang Yang smiled slightly and listened to her voice in good spirits, and asked: "Yes, Rachel, I'm going to Toronto to shoot" Junuo ". What's so beautiful? Would you like to introduce a country-style town where you can wear a net? The feeling of painting ... "
The reason why I chose to shoot in Toronto is because the weather and season there are suitable for the needs of the film; more importantly, saving money. In the account of Flame Film Company, the cash is almost zero, which is the company's financial status.
The soundtrack CD of "High School Musical" has sold nearly 7 million sets worldwide and DVDs have sold close to 12 million sets. After several discounts and price reductions, it can no longer be sold. The huge profit it brought is 100 million for the acquisition of blue sky work. Room, 30 million production costs, "High School Musical 2" with 20 million publicity costs, "Don't Happiness Comes to Knock" with a total cost of 60 million, 8 million purchased "Memory Fragment", and also pay salary bonuses for company employees, Planned purchases of copyrights for some old movies to expand the film library, as well as expand business in North America and overseas, increase the size of the company, etc., these work, the result is that the money is spent.
Cash is almost zero? This is definitely not a healthy financial situation. If any investment ends in failure, the loss will be severe or the debt will be serious. This is not Mark-Slante ’s idea. He has persuaded Wang Yang many times to accept joint ventures with other companies, such as the Lion Gate Company that has been seeking cooperation, so as to reduce risks; but Wang Yang ’s mouth is "", there is no This is necessary.
But the film rent for "When Happiness Comes to Knock" will take some time to receive; not to mention "High School Musical 2", which was released in August and I don't know whether it will be successful, so the production cost of "Junuo" is only 15 million. In addition to Natalie Portman and Michael Pitt ’s combined 7.3 million compensation, the remaining 7.7 million, on the one hand, has to pay the salary of members of the film crew such as Vale-Fest and other actors, these places are all It is difficult to save money, even if Wang Yang only paid himself a dollar. On the other hand, he also had to pay for equipment, film, crew and other shooting expenses, and this aspect can save money.
It's not that Canadian film is particularly cheap, but its wages for field work and group performances are much lower, and there are preferential policies for shooting, which can save a lot of taxes on movies. Compared with shooting in the United States, the entire cost is probably Save 15% -20%. As for the current situation of the flame film, "Junuo" will either postpone the filming and wait for the cinema company to pay the film rent before filming; or it will save money for filming. Filming in Canada will not affect the quality of the film, so he chose the latter.
"Oh, there will be a small but equally beautiful Taobao women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao women's winter coat m high school." Wang Yang turned over excitedly and continued: "No need to be as dreamy as Eastern High School, nothing School buses, students ride bicycles to school ... "
"No ... I don't know." Rachel interrupted him suddenly, and said, "I don't know, Yang. I can't understand your description. I feel dizzy and I have to go to bed."
Wang Yang was stunned, not sure if it was an illusion. He felt that Rachel had suddenly become hostile towards him recently, but weren't they already okay? Although it wo n’t be like it was a long time ago, but occasionally because of certain things, they will also have conversations with ordinary friends, now ... maybe it ’s just that she is ill, not in a good mood, at the MTV Film Awards, she could have danced and sang of. He nodded and said: "Okay, then take good care of your body. You know, the publicity of" High School Musical 2 "is about to start, and you can't do it without you." He said with a laugh.
"Well, I will, bye," Rachel said as soon as she stopped, and the phone blew out. Wang Yang put down his phone while saying "bye bye", suddenly thought of something, and frowned suddenly and wonderingly: "Why no nasal noise?" Rachel's voice was very light, but there was no nasal noise at all. Because Rachel had a heavy nasal voice last time, indicating that her physique is like this, but now she has a bad cold ...
Hey, you are not Sherlock Holmes and you have not really heard the class at the University of South Carolina Medical College. Wang Yang shook his head and reached for a thick book called "Pregnancy Handbook" on the coffee table to continue reading. Not only does Natalie Portman have to understand Juno and set up this role; he also needs to understand Juno ’s mind, to know what she will face throughout her pregnancy, and what specific changes will happen to her body, In this way, he can better understand such things as "girl pregnancy", understand the mentality changes Juno will have, and thus better control the story.
So since the establishment of "Junuo" last year, he has bought a lot of such books, "Pregnancy Psychology", "Pregnancy Encyclopedia", "How to be a happy pregnant woman" ... has been watching intermittently for nearly a year Now, he is simply a "master of pregnancy knowledge". If Jessica suddenly becomes pregnant, he will no longer feel in a hurry. He probably learns even if he is a student, even if he is just talking on paper.
In the reading plan, there are also books about slang and jokes. The reason why the girl Juno is cool and has a unique charm is expressed in words and deeds. "Word" is a very important item. What she said must be interesting and novel, and it can become a popular language. Popular in life and online. But many of the original lines are not applicable. There are reasons for the change of the story. What is more important is that many words are unintelligible. Just like "nest--g", what is g?
When he inadvertently played on the blog, he understood what g is, and understood that this sentence means "I dare to tell the blog that this is true." This is a variant of "nest--d", people It is necessary to tell the truth to God, and one of g's purposes is to express his truth, so there is "nest--g". But it obviously cannot be put in the present, because there are not many people playing g at present.
Juno wants to lead the trend, but also to stay in the trend. Nowadays, what young people say is popular, and she can't miss it. Fortunately, he himself is called "young" and there is no danger of falling behind. So how does Juno lead the trend? This is why he reads slang and joke books. He can get more inspiration and ideas from it, and think of some interesting phrases and jokes. He sometimes communicates and discusses with Natalie, such as letting her analyze a joke from a psychological point of view. Is n’t it funny? Natalie ’s answer is "From a psychological point of view, this is not funny, just a kind of make The human body has a trap of some kind of reaction; but from Natalie ’s point of view, it ’s funny.

With the passage of nearly a year, after the production of "When Happiness Comes to Knock", and thinking about "Junuo", Wang Yang has many new ideas, and the thickness of the script has been non-stop for nearly a year. The lines are changing, and he will take all the things he wants to shoot. When editing later, he will make those materials into a 120-minute film.
"The best place to conceive, one, a warm home ..." Wang Yang looked at the "Pregnancy Manual" in his hand and said ... He moved in his heart, and absently turned over for a while, then put down the book, picked up the phone and pulled After a number, he said softly: "Hi, sweetheart, good evening, how about coming to my house? I miss you."
Jessica smiled happily over there and sweetly said: "You are more sticky than Danny, we have only seen it in the morning." She was about to say something and suddenly understood what he really meant, saying: "Oh Not now, I do n’t want it now.
Wang Yang coughed and said,
I do n’t want anything? Do n’t get me wrong, I just want to discuss with you about pregnancy.
Jessica smiled and said,
Make me pregnant Things? Young, not tonight. "
Wang Yang couldn't help laughing, thinking he just had to coax her over, laughing: "Hey, why do you think about those -17 things? I tell you, this is a very serious matter." He thought Thinking, I said seriously: "I want to know that last year, we looked at the test sheet in the car, and then I said 'positive', you think you are pregnant, what do you think at that moment?" No When she answered, he said again: "I still have a lot of questions, so please, come here."
"Just say it here." Jessica remained unwavering. Wang Yang rolled his eyes angrily, smiled again, and said with a nasty voice: "You will not come, then I will go to your home" Jessica laughed from the phone, she said: "Well, I wait Come over to you. "
"I'll come bye now" Wang Yang pressed the end call button, and he felt an impulse in his heart. He jumped off the sofa, put on his slippers and came out of the house, and ran to the direction of Jessica's house at full speed. Under the moonlight, he ran through the tree-lined trails, small fountains ... The distance of a few hundred meters seemed to be almost instantaneous, and when he saw the brightly lit house, he smiled slightly gaspingly and he slowed down. Come to the lawn, walk to the side of the house, and look out to a bright window on the second floor, which is Jessica's room. He spread his hands to his mouth and called softly, "Hey, Juliet? It's me, Romeo, hey, Juliet ..."
Suddenly, Danny's bark came from the house, and Jessica appeared in the window. She looked down, her face was surprised and funny, and she said, "Yang, you are really here" Wang Yang spread his hands and said: "You see me" He looked around and smiled and said: "How should I climb into your room? Juliet, is there any rope or something? Give me a hey, I am really Envy the Spider-Man guy. "
Jessica leaned against the window and smiled with her chin, looking at him helpless, laughing: "Forgot? You don't need rope and spider silk, fly in directly, Superman" Wang Yang smiled with his back on his back, Nodded and said: "You reminded me that I am Superman, but I need a phone booth and a pair of red underwear ..."
"Don't move my gun to aim at you" At this time, a serious voice sounded behind it, it was Mark Alba, he shouted: "If you don't want to eat bullets, raise your hands" is really bad ... Wang Yang He slowly raised his hands and said, "Relax, Mark, it's me, Yang." Jessica also looked nervous, hurriedly shouted: "He's Yang, my God, Dad, he's Yang."
"I know it's him." Mark Alba said quietly, and Wang Yang suddenly froze: "What?" He turned around and saw that Mark was empty-handed. How could there be any guns? He covered his forehead and smiled: "Mark, are you really Mark?" Jessica looked around and said helplessly, "Dad, how can you make such a joke and scare me to death"
Mark-Albahaha said that he had long wanted to beat the boy hard. Since he couldn't beat it, it would be a lesson to scare him. Mark walked to Wang Yang, patted his shoulder, and pressed his voice: "Boy, don't you like to joke? Red panties?" He looked at Wang Yang's eyes and said, "Don't be on my site." Make trouble, or even if you are Superman, I will beat you. "Wang Yang shrugged and grinned:" OK, your territory, you have the final say. "
Falling on the bed in Jessica's boudoir, Wang Yang took a breath and looked at Jessica in the vest and shorts over there, saying: "I almost became Romeo, Jessie, I only know that your father has this One side. "Jessica smiled with her arms around her chest." Want to talk about pregnancy? "Wang Yang glanced at her slender and thighs and rolled her eyes." No, although I really want to discuss , But forget it, this is not my site. "
Suddenly Wang Yang thought whether they should live together. Although Catholics are not allowed to live together, there are many things that Catholics are not allowed to do, like premarital sex, but he has no money to buy a big house, and he will soon go to Toronto to shoot "Junuo", let's talk about it when we have money.
"Oh, it was you who abstained ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Jessica walked to the bed with a smile, bent over and kissed him on the face. She sat down and picked up a movie magazine on the bedside table. Looking over. Wang Yang closed his eyes and murmured softly, "Alright, I will start the audition again tomorrow, take a good rest." Jesse, can I just sleep here? "
Jessica ignored his last sentence and patted his thigh with a serious tone of voice: "Yang, how about my good sister Leah playing Juno? Can I go to the audition?" Wang Yang opened his eyes and looked Holding her, she shook her head and said: "The appearance is okay, but the temperament is not in line. You and Leah are completely two types, and you are too stealing." If she is alone in Leah, maybe it is OK; but He Na Tali Portman put together to act as a good sister, there is no chemical reaction in terms of temperament.
"You still have to promote" High School Musical 2 ", don't you?" Wang Yang added, knowing her thoughts and comfortingly: "Jessica, we will have the opportunity to continue making movies together." Jie A trace of disappointment flashed on Sika's face, smiling: "Well, it's okay, I know."
