"Amazing Young's New Plan, Another Cool Girl Story, 'Sweetheart'......"

Early in the morning, on the verdant front garden lawn, Jessica looked at the latest "Los Angeles Times" entertainment page in her hand, and suddenly her heart jumped, and she blurted out in surprise: "Honey?" Before she could open the newspaper and read it carefully, she ran to the back garden of the house, shouting, "Yang, Yang!"

She walked quickly to the back garden, only to see Wang Yang still sweating and playing on the small basketball court, making a "bang" sound. She walked to the sidelines, shook the newspaper in her hand, and asked excitedly, "Young, you're going to make a new movie again?" "Sweetheart", why don't you tell me? What kind of movie is that?"

"Whew, whew...... Do you see?" Wang Yang gasped and stopped, he smiled and wiped the sweat on his forehead, patted the basketball and walked towards her, and said: "It's a song and dance drama, and it's a dance-oriented aspect, it's street dance." Seeing that she didn't seem to know the details, he said: "Jessica, I won't be the director of "Sweetheart", I will only be a screenwriter and producer. It's written in the newspapers, right?"

"Oh! I'll see. Jessica was slightly stunned, then opened the newspaper and looked at the large interview on it, followed him, and asked while reading: "Why don't you be its director, do you have other plans?" Wang Yang threw the basketball under the plane tree, looked back at her, and said helplessly: "Hey, sweetheart, why do everyone ask that? It's not that you don't know that I'm going back to USC to study." ”

Jessica bared her white teeth, rolled her eyes up, and smiled, "Because you're a magical young." Wang Yang also laughed, pushed her head, and said, "In your place, I'm just little-young." Jessica smiled and continued to look down at the newspaper interview, Jan was not only writing the script, but also being a producer and executive producer...... It's also his movie, and she asks with interest, "Jan, is there a role for me in this movie? Can I play that cool girl?"

"Well, although I'm not a director, I'm a producer and one of the casting directors, so I still have some decision, I want to think about it......" Wang Yang frowned thoughtfully, slowly walked to the wooden table in the garden, picked up the mineral water and poured a few sips.

Seeing his thoughtful face, Jessica couldn't help but feel very disappointed, should she let Natalie play again? Thinking of Natalie's genius performance in "Juno", she looked at the newspaper and exclaimed, "Natalie is the best actress in Hollywood after the 80s, her talent is incomparable, and it is very pleasant to work with her." She felt a sense of refusal to admit defeat.

Jessica closed the newspaper, looked at him with serious eyes, and said, "Young, you should look at my acting skills now, I can handle a more difficult role than 'Gabriella'!"

Wang Yang looked at her deeply, and her eyes were filled with a longing for recognition and praise, which is why he made this movie for her. He didn't joke anymore, snapped his fingers and smiled: "I remember, there is a character that I specially left for you! Jessica was stunned and said, "Sweetheart?" Wang Yang smiled and said, "Well, heroine." ”

"Oh! Sweetheart...... Jessica nodded silently, and said with a frown: "You mean to say that the heroine of "Sweetheart" is called Sweetheart, like "Juno", and then let me play it? This movie is designed especially for you, who are you not the sweetheart?

Jessica felt a suffocating feeling in her heart, as she had done since she had been in love, and she exhaled, nodding her head and laughing, "Well, of course! As she spoke, she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms, and Wang Yang hugged her and kissed her on the lips.

The two hugged and kissed each other for a while before dragging their hands into the house. Jessica waved his hand and asked, "Yang, what is the story of "Sweetheart" about?" Wang Yang thought about the ideas he already had in his heart, and said: "The story of the script, the characters, and the style of the movie, I only have the framework idea now, and the first draft will take at least a month to come out, and then the crew can be formed." Its story probably goes ......"

Sweetheart is a beautiful and kind girl who grew up in a traditional conservative Catholic family, but she has loved rock and hip-hop since she was a child, two things that don't fit her identity, and after graduating from high school, she quietly came to the legendary Holy Land Dance City that all dancers yearn for. This passionate city is full of dancers of all kinds, and there is a dance competition that represents the highest honor for dancers.

The champion of the dance competition is her sweetheart's dream, and she naturally wants to participate, but her rock and roll dress that is incompatible with hip-hop and the street dance level of the three-legged cat make her receive a cold reception from the dance teams. Sweetheart, who refuses to admit defeat, simply forms her own team to participate in the competition, but when she looks for her partners, the difficulties have just begun, and she must help and arouse the determination of the hero, supporting actor, supporting actress and others who are "waste" in the eyes of others to chase their dreams...... When Sweetheart does this, her understanding of dreams and dance grows deeper, and she forms a strong friendship with them, their strange, wasteful team trains hard every day to prepare for the upcoming competition. At this moment, an opportunity suddenly appeared in front of her sweetheart, and a film director invited her to be the heroine of the movie.

It was a completely different path to stardom from that of a dancer, but Sweetheart didn't say yes in the end, but participated in the contest with her best friends and chased her dreams.

In the end, after a series of fierce dance battles, they won the championship and won the highest honor for dancers.

The story isn't complicated, it doesn't need to be complicated, it might be a bit cliché in 10 years, but it's not now, and it's just a summary. Wang Yang clearly knows the positioning of this film, that is, commercialization, there is no need to require a profound theme like "Juno", what "Sweetheart" wants to do is to have a good-looking story, a group of charming young people, and the scenes, music and dance in it can fully mobilize the audience's emotions and make them "step-up".

As for the male lead, supporting actors and actresses and other team members, he already has some preliminary ideas for the role, including a decadent man, he used to be a dazzling hip-hop star in the dance city, but because of an accident and injured his hands, not only did he lose the game, but his hands were no longer able to do those difficult hip-hop moves, and he became a "waste". With the "help" of his sweetheart, he finally reluctantly cheered up and tried other dances that did not use his hands.

In Wang Yang's initial thoughts, this role is none other than Michael Pitt, Michael stays up a few nights and has a cigarette, which perfectly interprets what decadence is.

There is also a man with a funny personality, a little lewd narcissism, and a little inferiority complex in his heart, he has learned and mastered ballet since he was a child, but in the city of dance, which advocates passion, this has become the reason why he is ridiculed. He was the first to be persuaded by Sweetheart to join, when Sweetheart slapped him on the head with a guitar. In fact, Wang Yang probably has a candidate, that is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, I don't know why, as soon as he designed this role, the person who came to his mind was Joseph.

"Sweetheart" is almost such a story, a group of young people full of personality, driven by sweethearts, combined an alternative team with different elements such as rock, hip-hop, ballet, etc., and launched an impact on their dreams together.

"Jan, the story is interesting, what kind of character is sweetheart?" asked Jessica in the dining room, with an interested look on her face, bringing the fried poached eggs and soaked cereal to the dining table. Wang Yang over there took off his jersey, revealing his strong upper body, and while changing into a T-shirt, he said: "Like you, kind, sweet, a little confused, easy to be mixed up......" He smiled slightly and said: "But the most important thing is personality." ”

Characters that do not have a unique personality and have a personality that teenagers like, no matter how well they are played, even if they win the Oscar, they will not become a trend, of course, the two do not conflict. For example, Captain Jack in his mind is definitely a character that can make teenagers crazy, thanks to Johnny Depp's invincible interpretation, as well as the charm and personality of the character itself, and Juno's popularity is also because of his personality.

Sweetheart wants to be sought after by teenagers, and compared with the supporting role of the team who is not individualized, she herself naturally can't be bad, and she can't be an ordinary "good girl".

Wang Yang washed his hands, sat down in a chair, took a sip of cereal, looked at Jessica opposite, and said: "I think now, she is a stubborn rock girl, she likes hip-hop, and she is not a hip-hop master...... She's a 'self-defeating' guy, she says she's bored and she'll beat people up with her guitar......"

But how to show her personality and charm is how she helps those lost "waste", in the process, it is not a simple bitterness, it must not be. What kind of stories to write, how to connect those stories beautifully and smoothly, so that each character has their own personal lines, and how to highlight the charming charm of sweethearts...... It's all something he has to slowly consider and explore for this script.

After listening to his initial thoughts, Jessica nodded, and from this information now, she understood that Sweetheart was a very "strange" girl, not as single-minded and easy to control as Gabriella. This made her feel very excited, this was an opportunity for her to prove herself! She smiled and clenched her fists, and said confidently, "Young, I will definitely play a good sweetheart!"

She thought about Natalie's portrayal of Juno, and said to herself, "From now on, I'm going to start figuring out the psychology of sweethearts." Seeing Wang Yang nodding with a smile, she remembered something again, and couldn't help but say regretfully: "It's a pity that you are not the director." ”

"Jesse, I'll be with you. Wang Yang said softly that for her, he also had to write the script of "Sweetheart" and make this movie. Although he does not direct, he will also participate in a lot, including the director's storyboard script, the shooting plan of the film crew, the post-editing, etc., he, as the producer, is not responsible for managing finances and logistics, but only responsible for the creation of the entire film.

In fact, as a director, he generally hates producers who don't know how to pretend to understand and point fingers, Wang Yang naturally knows and understands this, so he sets himself the goal of "helping rather than controlling, don't stifle the director's creative passion", there is a degree in this, a good producer helps the director, and a bad producer destroys the director, he hopes that he can grasp that degree.

"Well, I can't wait to play Sweetheart!" Wang Yang bit the tender poached egg and said with a smile: "Wow, I can't wait to see you dancing hip-hop." He twisted his neck in the Bollywood style and sighed: "Oh ~ Lord, hot!" Jessica rolled her eyes with a smile, her heart was very sweet, but she smiled and said, "Yang, you are really bad sometimes!" Wang Yang spread his hands innocently and said, "What? Why?" Jessica laughed: "You know it yourself!"

After breakfast, the two got tired of it for a while, and then drove away from home, Wang Yang was going to Flame Film Company, which had an important annual meeting today, and Jessica was going to do the post-recording work of "Youth Musical" 3.

Looking at the road conditions in front of him, Wang Yang held the steering wheel and hummed a song, at this time the mobile phone suddenly rang, he stopped the playback of the record, pressed the mobile phone, and said: "Harrow, good morning!" Then I heard Natalie's voice in the headphones, and she said excitedly: "Dude, it's me! I see your new plan, I want to play sweetheart." Wang Yang turned the steering wheel and said with a smile: "Man, I'm afraid not, there are already candidates for the heroine." ”

"What, so fast?" Natalie over there was silent for a moment, and then asked loudly, "Who?" Wang Yang smiled and said, "Jessica." Natalie snorted coldly, her tone suddenly became very angry, and shouted, "OK!good!good! Bye!"

Hearing the "beep" sound that sounded immediately, Wang Yang was stunned for a moment, what medicine did she take wrong? He frowned and thought about it, and realized in his heart that something was wrong, why was Natalie so angry? She hadn't even read the script...... He laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head, oh come on, do you think you're a heartthrob? Maybe it's just her "good friend" coming.

Before he could think about it, after a few seconds, the phone rang again, and he pressed it: "Good morning, Harrow!" Natalie laughed through the headphones, and said, "Yes, I'm back!So what kind of story is that? You made this movie to wash away Juno's influence, and for your beautiful girlfriend?"

"Clever! Wang Yang smiled, stopped at the intersection in front of the red light, looked at the photo frame in front of him, Jessica and his happy photo under the Eiffel Tower, and smiled: "I have to do something for her." Natalie laughed, "Romantic, very romantic!" man, why don't you just direct it yourself?"

"I'm too calm. Seeing that the green light was lit up in front, Wang Yang stepped on the accelerator and continued: "That's not an emotional ...... suitable for directing."
