You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 145 The box office is rising steadily, and the awards are constantly being won (1, please gi

It's rare that all the young actors in front of Wang Quan are younger than himself. Wang Quan is both the director and the eldest brother, and his authority has reached its peak.

Wang Quan had never met any of these actors before, but in the end they all made the final decision.

The heroine Kristen Stewart is a child star. She starred opposite Jodie Foster at the age of 12. Wang Quan once talked about her with Jodie. Jodie was full of praise for her acting skills and said that this girl is a movie queen. posture.

She is not a Best Actress, but she is indeed nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress in the future. Given her drive to delve into the field of literary films, I feel that it is only a matter of time before she becomes a Best Actress.

Robert Pattinson, the male protagonist, is famous for last year's "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". He played Harry Potter's love rival and eventually died tragically, which earned him a lot of sympathy points.

The second male lead, Taylor Lautner, also made her debut as a child star. She started filming at the age of 9. Last year, she had a film called "A Lot of Children 2" released.

There are many beauties in other supporting roles, but Wang Quan is more concerned about a Chinese young man named Dou Xiao, who plays the heroine's classmate Eric, an Asian.

The original version was played by a short Korean with long hair. Not ugly, but compared to the white people around him, he was really not that good-looking. It was obvious that he was there as a foil, which is in line with the positioning of Asian actors in Hollywood. .

When Wang Quan was looking through the audition list, he saw this young man who had some impression on him, so he replaced him. He didn't know whether he would be grateful to him or hate him in the future. I heard that Director Zhang chose an amateur who had acted. Not yet.

Not only is Dou Xiao handsome, he is at least tall and has a sunny image. He didn't deliberately make his hair long when styling his hair. He just had his original refreshing short hair. Of course, he also had to make some slight changes to his personality.

When Dou Xiao got the royal power, he was obviously very excited. He immigrated with his parents when he was 10 years old. He is 18 years old this year. He recently participated in the "Sunshine Boy" talent show held by Maple Leaf Chinese Channel and won the championship.

When Wang Quan went to Vancouver to film "Juno", he was lucky enough to watch it. At that time, he thought, it would be great if he could be lucky enough to work with Director Wang. Unexpectedly, he soon heard that the crew of "The Twilight Saga" was recruiting Asian men. role, so he signed up and was selected.

After getting acquainted with the actors, Wang Quan said hello to the staff. This is the largest crew Wang Quan has ever experienced so far, and many of them are old partners who have worked together before.

For example, photographers Lao Huo, Hoyt Van Hoytema, lighting engineer Vernon Becky, sound engineer Isa Paez, and a larger special effects team.

The executive producer accompanying the team this time is a new recruit from the company. As the company's affairs increase, it will be difficult for Dorothy to follow the team as meticulously as before, but she will come over in a few days. have a look.

I don't know if I'm here to see you or someone else.

The movie officially started shooting in the afternoon. Since the young actors were all here, the first scene was shot when Bella got to know the Cullen family for the first time after she entered school and was introduced by her classmates Jessica, Eric and others.

Then several actors including Alexandra Daddario, Ashley Greene, and Robert Pattinson appeared on stage. The most prominent one was a handsome man and a beautiful woman who made the Cullen family look like an ordinary high school. The effects are very different, especially for the male protagonist Edward.

Although King Quan will not have a plot like the vulgar idol drama that makes girls shout "Murong Yunhai is so handsome!", there still needs to be a situation where he is the most handsome boy in the whole school and the focus of all the girls. Feel it, and then let the male protagonist and the female protagonist make eye contact and work together.

Wang Quan is actually very attentive to this Mary Sue movie. When doing the storyboards, he designed many new shots to superficially express the handsomeness of the male protagonist, the beauty of the female protagonist, and the beauty of the ambiguity between men and women. The overall sense of Sue has been improved. More than one level.

But in terms of plot, at least in the first film, he basically made no changes. He just left it as it was in the original film, so it was shot very quickly.

Another expectation he has for this movie is the special effects. This movie still has some special effects, much more than "Escape Room". Collaboration with the special effects department can prepare him for shooting larger-scale special effects blockbusters in the future. Base.

While he was filming the movie, good news came from Los Angeles. The 32nd Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards were officially announced. The Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award is one of the four major fronts and the first to be awarded among the four major fronts.

Wang Quan did not attend, so Dorothy took Lily there, and they said she would win a prize.

In the evening, Wang Quan received a call from Dorothy, reporting the results to him.

"Damn, you're so stingy, so I gave you three awards!"

Three is not a small number, Wang Quan asked, "What kind of prize is it?"

"Phil's Best Score, Lily's Best Newcomer, and you have second place for Best Screenplay, with the first place being the screenwriter of The Queen."

Because in addition to the winner of this kind of film criticism award, there is usually a second place as a consolation. Wang Quan is the one who is comforted, and ties also happen from time to time. There may be four winners for one project, so Dorothy is the one who gets the consolation. Feeling dissatisfied.

Dorothy told King Power, “The Queen is the biggest winner this time, runner-up for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, and tied with us for Best Score. The weight award pissed Suter off."

Wang Quan smiled and said, "After all, it is Weinstein's flagship project this year, and Harvey's influence in Los Angeles cannot be compared to ours. It is not unfair to lose this time."

Moreover, Los Angeles is the base of the Big Six, and they are more powerful among film critics. Warner's "Letter from Iwo Jima" and "The Last Days", and Universal's "Flight 93" and "Children of Men" also had many successes.

Dorothy said, "I plan to go to the New York Film Critics Awards in person."

The New York Film Critics Award is the second of the four outposts, and is less affected by the power of Hollywood.

Next there are the American Critics Circle Award and the National Society of Film Critics Award.

These four awards are the so-called Four Outposts. They are actually the four most famous film critics awards, reflecting the preferences of film critics.

In addition to these four, Dorothy is also eyeing Chicago, Boston, Florida, Detroit, Western and other heavyweight Film Critics Association Awards. The third week expansion of "Juno" will take care of these regions.

Soon, the second-week box office of "Juno" was released, which was not bad. The total box office jumped from more than 800,000 to more than 2.7 million. Even after the expansion, it still maintained the performance of 10,000 US dollars per venue.

In the third week, the North American screening scale expanded to 380 venues. "Juno" can be seen in several major cities in North America, and there are more and more discussions about this movie.

When the crew of "Twilight" took a weekend break, actress Kristen Stewart invited three girls, Ashley Greene, Kaley Cuoco, and Alexandra Daddario, to the cinema. When it comes to "Juno," they haven't seen it yet, and this is the first time "Juno" has been released in Oregon.

At the same time, Robert Pattinson also called Dou Xiao, Taylor Lautner and several others, and confirmed, "Can 14-year-olds watch this movie?"

Dou Xiao said, "It's PG-13, so of course it's fine for a 14-year-old, but I don't know if he can understand it."

The little werewolf smiled coolly, "I can already make women pregnant, of course I can understand, but sunshine boy, have you ever had a girlfriend~"

~

Kristen Stewart, her name is too long, let’s call her Little K. She said, “Some of my classmates have already watched it. They said Juno is super cool, but it hurts too much when giving birth.”

"How much does it hurt?" Daddario asked, shaking.

Little K, "I heard that the painful scenes are all black and white~"

They entered the cinema and found that there were quite a few people there, mostly young viewers who didn't go to school on weekends.

At the beginning of the movie, Juno, played by Lilly, walks to a convenience store with a large bucket of juice. This scene uses a sketch animation cutscene. Kaley Cuoco, who has a bit of a silly lady temperament, whispered, "I heard that the scenes in this scene are all... The director drew it himself, he is so talented!”

The quirky Ashley Greene nodded, "I saw the Twilight storyboard manuscript he drew, so I wanted to steal a few."

Little K smiled coolly, "I've already stolen it."

"What!"

"Shh, let me go back and let you watch~" Little K hummed along with the cut-scene music. This song is so nice.

The movie progresses at a soothing pace, and there are a few laughs from time to time, which are very easy for American natives to get. Little K fell in love with this story right away. He feels that the heroine is just like him, but she is actually very rebellious at heart. Oh my god. , why didn’t she play Juno in the first place? She liked this role so much!

She felt that Lily Collins looked too harmless and was not suitable for her.

However, Robert Pattinson in the theater next door had a different opinion. He thought Lily's performance was particularly good.

She seemed weak and couldn't afford anything. As an audience, his first reaction was that this weak girl would choose to abort the child to save herself some trouble. But when he saw her driving a big Jeep alone to the state black clinic next door At the time, Pattinson felt that this girl was actually brave at her core.

So when she later decided to give birth to the child and had a showdown with her parents, Pattinson was pleasantly surprised but not surprised at all. He read this part with a smile on his face.

What really made him dissatisfied was the male lead. What was so good about this guy being dull? He should have played this role!

In fact, he is very dissatisfied with the story of "Twilight". He is the same as King Quan in this regard, but his agent said that this story is very popular. He can only play a supporting role in Harry Potter, but in Twilight You can be the protagonist in the city, maybe it will be as popular as the Daniel trio, take your pick.

So he forced himself to read the original novel, endured his nausea and let himself get into Edward's psychology, and finally got the role during the audition. This is a great male protagonist.

But if he was asked to choose, he would rather choose the second-rate good-for-nothing male lead in "Juno".

This is a so-called literary film that is highly entertaining. When she saw the little Juno standing in front of the floor-length mirror wearing only underwear and looking at her round belly, Kristen Stewart started biting her fingers. This scene was very shocking. , this feeling is amazing.

Can I also give birth to life?

Then when he saw the scene of giving birth later, Little K immediately shook his head and said, forget it, it looked so painful.

Just like what the classmates said, when Juno was pushed into the delivery room, the previously cheerful music magically changed. It was still the same melody, but it unknowingly made people worried, and the picture also lost its color and turned into black and white.

The doctor said that the mother was too young and had difficulty giving birth. After heart-breaking rescue efforts, a little baby boy was wrapped up by a nurse. The picture returned to color, but the color on Juno's face disappeared and the music returned to normal.

Little K, who had been slightly spoiled, watched with concentration, and found out that he was indeed a little boy, with his breasts exposed.

However, in the last scene of the movie, years later, when Juno saw the child's adoptive mother Venisa, she was holding a little girl in her hand and passed by Juno's sight happily.

Juno's expression was so complicated that little K couldn't understand what kind of emotional expression it conveyed, but her heart ached so much, and she cried.

But Kaley Cuoco, who was very nervous next to her, applauded, "It's great, it's so complete. Juno has started a new life, Venisa has a baby, and tomorrow is a new day!"

Robert Pattinson, who was next door, patted the sofa, "So that's it, he was so brave!"

Little Werewolf Taylor asked, "What's wrong? What do you mean?"

Pattinson said proudly, "Kid, you don't understand. Director Wang should continue to make movies like this. Twilight is such a waste of his talent!"

Dou Xiao, "Well, I seem to understand. In fact, Juno didn't send her child away at all. She raised her child by herself!"

Pattinson suddenly said "Huh", "Why do you think so?"

Dou Xiao, "Isn't it wrong?"

"Of course it's wrong, it's completely wrong, you, you don't understand Director Wang at all!"

Wang Quan feels that the person who understands him best is Gadot.

Knowing that she was too lonely on the set, she came from Los Angeles to visit her class this weekend, and the two had a picnic at Oxbow Regional Park, where the film was shot.

This is a nature conservation park with ancient primeval forest landscapes and is inaccessible.

Under a huge fir tree far away from the camping spot, the two kissed passionately. Sparks flew and almost set the big tree on fire.

They then got back to the car and returned to their hotel room, where they stayed there all night.

After Gadot left, Dorothy received good news from New York.

After this week, the cumulative box office of "Juno" reached 9.8 million, and it is expected to expand to 1,000 theaters in the fourth week!

At the same time, "Juno" won a tie for best picture at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, second place for best director (The King), second place for best actress (Lily), best screenplay, and best score. (Phil) won five awards, and "The Departed" became the biggest winner of the night!

Controversial topics about "Juno" are also rising.

This good news also seems to indicate that "Juno" has a chance to get Oscar tickets!

At this time, Long Toutou and two brokerage companies have hired a public relations company, which is an essential expense for the Olympics.

But the money was well spent. Soon, "Juno" won all the Chicago, Boston, Florida, Detroit and other film critics association awards, and even Wang Quan won a best director award.

Soon, the day for Oscar nominations is coming. As a judge of the screenwriting department, Wang Quan has already made his own nomination list...

(It’s the last day, please vote for me!)
