"I'm sorry, Annie......" Wang Yang looked up from behind the camera, looked at Annie Darren standing in the middle of the audition room, shook his head, and said, "You are not suitable for this role." ”

The selection of supporting roles for "Juno" began a few days ago, and he stayed in the audition room almost all day every day, but because the roles of Juno's father and stepmother were not difficult to perform, and there were so many actors who came to audition, these works progressed quickly, and he could determine a person for the role that would be auditioned on the same day, and the role auditioned for today was Juno's best friend "Leah".

Anne Darren attended this audition, and she was the first to come and audition first. The reason why he eliminated Anne was not because of her performance, her performance was okay, but the decision to choose this role was not only based on her acting skills, but also because of the comparison between her and "Juno", that is, with Natalie Portman in terms of appearance and temperament, she wanted to get together with Juno, which was a feeling of "bad friends".

And Anne's own temperament is the quiet type, the classic image on the screen, the kind of dull and conservative good girl, like a librarian; if she makes her stage style revealed, it will have a weird and funny effect; Wang Yang thinks that if she is more exaggerated but delicate, she can even develop towards the crazy type. But she is not suitable for Leah, at least not for now, and maybe she will be able to do it later.

This is because of an excellent actor, his/her temperament can change, such as Will Smith, before the release of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", everyone thought he was the most suitable for hip-hop, no one knew that he could still play the kind of middle-aged man who had gone through the vicissitudes of life, but he successfully played Chris Gardner, and is now praised as "a strong contender for Best Actor at the Oscar next year".

In addition to the change of temperament through the design of the model, careful makeup, etc., more importantly, it requires high-level performance skills. For an actor who is in the immature stage of acting skills and understanding of the character script, it is best to act according to the temperaments that are most suitable for him, and when there is no longer any difficulty in "performing in his true colors", he will slowly challenge other temperaments and have a "screen transformation".

If you want to pull out the seedlings to help them grow, not only is it easy to mess up, but it will also affect the effect of the movie. That's why he rejected Jessica and eliminated Annie.

"Well, director, I see. Anne over there pursed her lips gently, her eyes flashed with disappointment and regret, she smiled and nodded again, "I understand, thank you for the opportunity to audition today." ”

Wang Yang sighed secretly, this is the third time he has denied Anne in the audition, every time she works so hard, looking at her pretty face, he said: "Anne, the problem is not your performance, I want you to understand this." Anne listened attentively with a serious face, Wang Yang shrugged her shoulders, and said: "You know, everyone has a suitable role, and there are also unsuitable roles, you just don't fit Leah." We must recognize our own temperament and strengths, so that we can develop our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. Your temperament is ladylike......"

After talking for a long time, Wang Yang suddenly remembered that this was an audition, and there were still many girls waiting outside, so he smiled at Anne and said, "Let's continue talking on the phone." Anne nodded, "Okay, goodbye then." Wang Yang hummed, walked back to the interviewer's desk and sat down, Anne picked up the handbag on the chair, and looked at Wang Yang and Ms. Lucy, the union interviewer, she smiled slightly: "Bye!" and walked out of the room.

"Mr. Wang, it looks like you know that girl?" asked Ms. Lucy. Wang Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Well, that's true, when I was looking for the heroine for "Smart-Ghost Shadow", she was the first person to interview. Lady Lucy was surprised, "That's funny." ”

After interviewing more than a dozen girls in a row, Wang Yang shouted "next" again, and soon the wooden door of the audition room was opened, and a white, brown-haired girl walked in outside the door, with a height of more than 170cm, big eyes, and a tall and long nose...... Wang Yang glanced at her, this girl's appearance and temperament are very good, and Natalie can be put together, and whether there is a feeling of "bad friends" depends on her performance. However, he frowned suspiciously, the girl was a little familiar.

"Hi Mr. and Madam Wang, hello. The brown-haired girl grinned and showed a bright smile, she walked up to hand her resume, photo collection and other documents to Wang Yang, and said with a smile: "I'm glad to come to the audition, my name is Annie......" Because she looked at Wang Yang, she didn't pay attention to the chair in the middle, she accidentally tripped on the foot of the chair, and suddenly lost her balance, she screamed: "Oh! God......"

Wang Yang and Ms. Lucy were stunned, watching her fall to the ground with a pop, reacting, he stood up suddenly, and saw the girl covering her forehead, falling into a sloppy manner, he couldn't help laughing, Ms. Lucy couldn't help laughing, Wang Yang smiled and asked, "Girl, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine......" The brown-haired girl quickly stood up from the ground, with an embarrassed expression on her face, she scolded herself in her heart, it's really terrible, the guy in front of her is amazing!

Seeing her embarrassed, Wang Yang spread his hands and smiled: "It's nothing, my girlfriend Jessica also falls down often, and there is no chair on the ground, maybe it was just a pair of slippers that tripped her, who knows what's going on? The brown-haired girl smiled gratefully, and said in her heart, Magic Yang is really considerate as she imagined before! The girl stepped forward and handed the document to Wang Yang, and said with a smile: "Thank you, my name is Anne Hathaway." ”

"Hello Anne. Wang Yang took her papers, sat down and looked at her resume first, Anne Hathaway, born on November 12, 1982, is 18 years old on her birthday this year, 173cm tall, is a native of New Jersey, and made her debut on the screen in the TV series "Get-Real" last year, and was nominated for the "Young Artist Award" this year.

Wang Yang didn't remember that he had watched this TV series, he picked up Hathaway's photo album and looked at it, and read the name "Anne Hathaway?" Suddenly, several images flashed clearly in his mind, and he immediately understood why he felt familiar, Anne Hathaway, Luling in "Brokeback Mountain", the white queen in "Alice in Wonderland", and "Rachel's Wedding" Kemi, the heroine of , was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress in 2009 for this role.

But apparently she is still a little-known rookie actor, and she has to see how she is acting now, after all, "Rachel's Wedding" is in 2008. Rao was like this, and Wang Yang couldn't help muttering: "Brother." Although he had the information about her in his head from "Brokeback Mountain", since she was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress earlier than Natalie, it shows that her acting ability is very high, and her appearance and temperament are very suitable for Leah.

"Okay, let's start the audition. Wang Yang put down the document in his hand, got up and walked behind the camera. Hathaway, who was over there, also got up from her chair and looked at the camera with a smile on her face. After auditioning for the basic frontal and side shots, Wang Yang said: "Give me a few expressions, then I'm Juno now, and you're facing your best friend, then, surprised." Hathaway's eyes widened, making her already large eyes even more rounded. Wang Yang said again: "Well, let's have a disdainful expression." ”

Her expression is neither too calm nor too exaggerated, and Natalie's words of playing a good friend do not conflict with the feeling; in the next stage of the performance, Hathaway proved Wang Yang's idea, for Leah, who is not difficult, she seems to be very comfortable, when he said that he should have the feeling of "bad friends", her funny eyes and big grin to the good sister made him feel very satisfied.

"Well, Annie...... Wang Yang nodded silently, pressed the camera, and was about to say something, when the face with a little freckles on the nose suddenly appeared in front of him, Annie...... He looked at the brown-haired girl over there and said, "Hathaway, you say on your resume that you are a vegetarian?" Hathaway nodded and said with a smile: "Yes," Wang Yang also smiled slightly, and said, "That's good! I also know a vegetarian, maybe you can really become good friends." Hathaway blinked a little puzzled, and Wang Yang smiled: "She is Juno's actor, so Hathaway, your performance is great, you can play Leah." ”

"What!?" Hathaway gasped, took two steps back, and covered her mouth with her hands, "Really!? I can play Leah!?" Wang Yang nodded and said, "I'm not joking about this." Hathaway let out a surprise wow, covered her mouth and walked around the room excitedly, and got carried away and said, "Oh my God! I can make a movie! I can act in a movie like Wonderful! Oh my God, it's crazy! It's my lucky day!"

Ms. Lucy glanced at Wang Yang with a smile, the expression seemed to say "She's your fan", Wang Yang walked over and stretched out his hand to Hathaway, and said with a smile: "Welcome to Juno." Hathaway looked at him with excitement and joy, she suddenly stretched out her hands and hugged him, and said excitedly: "Thank you! I will definitely perform well, thank you!" Wang Yang was stunned, withdrew his outstretched hand and hugged her, then pushed her away with a smile, and said, "Then I thank you too." ”

It was determined that Anne Hathaway would play "Leah", and the day's work was over, but it took more than ten days for all the auditions to be completed, and the candidates for the roles found were all cheap and very suitable, so there were no big stars in the supporting cast, if the "future Oscar nominee" was counted as one, it would be another matter.

And during this time, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" also spent its third and fourth weeks of screening, in the week of June 2nd-8th, the number of theaters it screened increased by 120, the total reached 3540, almost any city on the map of North America, it was screened inside, this warm inspirational film did not disappoint the theater companies, movie theater owners, media fans like to call the young man "Magic Yang", they like to call "Grab Money Yang", this week "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" altogether" grabbed a box office of 39.4852 million, not only did the total box office exceed 100 million, but also became the weekly box office champion in North America again after a week!

In the second week of screening, "Spy 2" received 37.133 million box office in 3,653 theaters, ranking second, the third is the newly released comedy film "Undercover Fat Mom", which also has a box office of 25.201 million, and the fourth is "Dinosaur" with 16.81 million.

"When Happiness Knocks on the Door" returns to the top of the week! Magical Yang has the last laugh!" This is exactly the headline of the weekly box office list review of "Movie Weekly", which reads: "This week's box office total fell by 32.4% compared with last week, and last week's champion "Spy 2" fell by 55%; Surprisingly, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" only dropped by 17.4%, which has plenty of stamina! It also defeated the big man "Spy 2" and regained the championship throne, following "Dinosaur", "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" Let the 125 million cost "Spy 2" taste the second taste, we can't know their final box office now, but considering the cost of the movie, the person who laughs last is almost certainly Miracle Young. ”

Seeing this situation, Will Smith's fans were overjoyed: "To hell with the worst actor in the golden sour plum, now what we should be looking forward to is next year's Oscars, will Will Will he get the little golden man?!", "Thank you Magic Young, I solemnly apologize for the contempt I had for him before, Will didn't take the wrong movie, it's great, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is his masterpiece!"

However, many Tom Cruise fans are very angry, "Spy 2" is only in the second week of screening, and it can't continue to win the weekly box office champion, what are you kidding?!

The market is no joke, and the box office charts of the new week have verified this, with "When Happiness Knocks" taking in another 27.687 million box office in 3,610 theaters in its fourth week of screening, a figure that still puts it in second place this week, although the percentage is down more than 30%. The film that topped the championship was the newly released "60 Seconds" starring Nicolas Cage, which received 37.178 million box office in 3,006 theaters, followed by "Spy in Spy 2" with 21.38 million and "Undercover Fat Mom" with 17.645 million.

"When Happiness Knocks on the Door" lost the championship again, but no one and no media will laugh at it, because it swept 155,701,200 in four weeks after its screening, that is, a box office of 155 million! Even if the percentage of the box office declines seriously, it is a high probability that it will rush to 200 million at the box office, and the 32 million cost of the drama biopic is very likely to receive 200 million in North America alone, and it will be released in various countries around the world in July, according to the laws of the market, its overseas box office will definitely not fail, and it will receive 100 million US dollars, 150 million US dollars, 200 million US dollars? This is possible, you must know that the number of fans overseas is not a small number, especially in Asia, especially in Hong Kong, In Taiwan and other Greater China regions, he is even more popular than James Cameron.

"Miracle!" This seems to be a rotten word on Wang Yang, and the media have no choice but to continue to use it, otherwise what words can be used to describe all this? At the age of 20, he made three movies, the first with a global box office of 310 million, the second with a total global box office of 411 million, and now the third one is currently 155 million, and he already has a total global box office of 876 million, and it is only a matter of time before he breaks through to 1 billion, and this time will not exceed this year, that is, he is 20 years old.

This situation has made Wang Yang a hot topic again, and many newspapers and magazines have launched reports on character topics, "From DV kid to the best director in the future, he only took two years!", "Amazing, still magical!...... This time, even some parents who have always lacked a good impression of Wang Yang also gave a thumbs up, and on the Internet, a "Latest Parent Recommended Movie List", "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" ranked first, a middle-aged male parent commented: "This is a touching and meaningful movie, it made my little boy ask me for the first time, 'What is a dream'? You're a good dad too', I'm going to take my kids to the cinema again on Father's Day 19th, and I need that compliment. ”

But since Wang Yang revealed that "Juno" is a movie about teenage pregnancy, many parents have expressed their worries, and Magic Yang's movie has a great influence among young people, and "Youth Musical" has also proved that he has the ability to create trends, will he bring any bad culture this time? A female parent only wrote one sentence: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." ”

Just when Wang Yang's popularity was at its peak, Flame Movies suddenly announced the entire cast of "Juno" on its official website, and media fans who had been following it for a long time immediately flocked to see who the "Juno" who Magic Yang interviewed thousands of girls and couldn't find would be in the end?

The actor Paulie is played by Michael Pitt, just like Tom Welling, he is a newcomer launched by Wonder Young, oh, this is not his big screen debut, he has previously played a "genius hacker" in "High School Musical", close to a small role, the supporting roles are some unknown candidates, like Anne Heatherway, and the heroine Juno, Natalie...... Natalie Portman!?

Is this true?!Or are you joking? Whether it is an ordinary entertainment media or an entertainment tabloid that specializes in gossip as a selling point, whether it is Wang Yang's, Natalie's, Jessica's fans are all taken aback. Their first reaction was to think of the "scandal" last year, Wang Yang and Natalie! Now Natalie is playing Juno? Is he done playing Jessica? Look at the time, it is exactly one year, and it is also the breakup time predicted by "Daily Entertainment"!
