"Wonder Young: Where's Juno?" was the headline in the latest Los Angeles Times entertainment section, along with a photo of Wang Yang walking his dog looking around, as if looking for something. This photo is Cole's masterpiece, he now has a nickname of "Wang Yang Album" in the industry, with a large number of photos of Wang Yang on hand, all kinds of expressions, and now the media about Wang Yang's information and pictures, almost all of which are provided by Cole.

The report said: "It has been nearly a month since we learned about Wonder Young's "Juno" project, but Juno's candidate has not yet been decided. Many people thought that Juno would be played by Jessica Alba, or Rachel McAdams, but no, they seemed to be kicked out early in the morning, at first everyone thought it was a schedule problem, but now it seems that this is not the case, it is understood that the young director has interviewed dozens of well-known female stars, thousands of new girls, and apparently he has found nothing. ”

"Juno's candidate is in a dilemma, what kind of girl is Wonder Young looking for? What kind of girl is Juno? Who will be Juno?"

In the study, Wang Yang was a little distracted and fiddled with the "Singing and Dancing Youth" cartoon plastic doll on the table, which is a peripheral product launched in cooperation with a toy company, and the sales are not bad, although it does not make much money, but it can increase its influence and cultivate hardcore fans of flame movies. He picked up a brown-haired cartoon doll, looked at her smiling face, the annoyance in his heart eased a little, smiled slightly, and put it down again.

The search for Juno is indeed in a predicament, it can be said that there is no progress, which also makes Wang Yang gradually become troubled by this, if he can't find Juno, then it makes no sense to find other actors first, but these days, he has interviewed countless girls, not thousands of people as the "Los Angeles Times" said, but more than 3,000 people. Every day, he examines hundreds of different types of young girls, this job from the beginning of the eye-catching, to the later boring, more than 3,000 girls without Juno, and the number of auditions in these two days, every day is greatly reduced, and the hope is getting slimmer and slimmer.

Wang Yang was stunned for a while, looked at the time, and at Jessica's usual pace of making dinner, it would take about half an hour. He looked at the computer screen, held the mouse and opened a script document called "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", the script of "Juno" has been preliminarily written, of course, it is only the first draft, as time goes by, daily thinking and changes in ideas, he will make detailed revisions to the script, even major changes, until he is most satisfied.

However, Wang Yang doesn't want to pay attention to the script of "Juno" now, and now when he mentions "Juno", what appears in front of him is thousands of girls who look blurry, as if they are playing slides quickly, and he feels like he is about to go crazy. So he decided to write the script of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" first, the plan of this movie, except for Jessica, he has not told anyone else for the time being, he is going to finish filming "Juno" first and then make "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and now the problem is that "Youth Musical" is about to start filming in early September, and the heroine of "Juno" is not suitable for anyone yet.

"When some people can't do something, they tell you that you can't ...... either"

When he typed this sentence, Wang Yang couldn't help but smile, remembering Harry George's sentence "You must fail! We are such people, losers!" He smiled and continued to type on the keyboard: "If you have a dream, you have to defend it, you have to work hard to achieve it." That's it. "The fat man is doing well now, he has become an assistant to Varay Pfister as he wished, and he can do what he likes every day.

The study was very quiet, only the sound of tapping on the keyboard, and just when Wang Yang was immersed in the script of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", his mobile phone suddenly rang. Wang Yang took it out and saw that it was Mark Slent's, he frowned, and then answered: "Mark, what's the matter?"

"Jan, I've sent something to your mailbox, you can take a look. Mark Slunter's voice was serious, and he added, "This matter is very urgent. ”

"What's the matter?" Wang Yang's face was full of disbelief, this guy said something urgent every time, and it didn't happen really a few times. He logged in to his mailbox, downloaded the picture file sent by Mark Snent, clicked on it, was stunned, and laughed silently: "What?!Mark, what are you sending me her picture for?"

Mark Slunt laughed and said, "See? These stills are all from her in "The End of the Heart", a movie that was only released in September. He asked seriously, "How's she? Doesn't she look like a high school student?

Looking at Natalie Portman on the screen, she wears a peaked cap and a lively smile on her face, and has to say that she has a lot of temperament. Wang Yang silently held the mouse and looked at it, when "Juno" is not Alan Peggy, no matter who is found to play it, the stylist and art director will design according to the different characteristics of each person, Natalie Portman's long hair shawl looks very mature and quiet, but when she has a ponytail and bangs, and a peaked cap, she looks very young and young, and she has the feeling of Juno.

And with Natalie's genius acting skills, she may be good to play Juno...... But. Wang Yang stood up, walked to the balcony, and said in a decisive tone: "Mark, forget it, don't think about this, I tell you clearly, I won't consider Natalie Portman." ”

"Why?" asked Mark Slent amusedly.

Wang Yang stood at the door of the balcony, looked at the sky that was about to go dark, and said, "Why? He had an inexplicable affair with Natalie Portman before, what kind of flirtatious and love-showing movie review "Natalie is my dream"...... The problem is that the film review in the school magazine was indeed written by him, and even though he is with Jessica now, everyone thinks that he once had a crazy crush on Natalie Portman, and the room was plastered with her posters and so on.

If "Juno" invites Natalie to star now, you don't have to think about it, the gossip media will definitely mention the outrageous scandal again, saying that he has no love for Natalie or something, and it will make a fuss.

But he doesn't care about these, maybe it can make "Juno" more popular, and a scandal is a scandal, it's not true, it will always come to an end, and the real reason for his clear refusal is Jessica.

Why do you have to look for her and not find someone else? Whether it's a job or a movie, no matter what the reason, any girl will not feel good in this situation, and maybe they will quarrel on the spot.

Why did he want to film "Juno", it was precisely because of the pregnancy oolong incident with Jessica, Juno was their "daughter", and he didn't want "Juno's mother" Jessica to misunderstand and feel uncomfortable, and he didn't want to do it at all. So he wouldn't think about Natalie Portman, no matter how good she is.

Thinking of this, Wang Yang said again: "Mark, forget it, I won't think about Natalie." ”

"My boss, you really can't do this!" Mark Slimnt sighed helplessly and anxiously, "I know you're afraid that your little girlfriend will misunderstand, but can't you explain it?" ”

Walking to the railing of the balcony, Wang Yang looked at the bright kitchen downstairs, he smiled warmly, and said: "No need to explain, this will hurt her anyway, that's my girlfriend!" and almost got married this month, he smiled and said: "I don't want her to have any misunderstanding and discomfort, she is uncomfortable, and I am even more uncomfortable." You also have a family and a wife, you should understand. I want her to be happy, otherwise I won't be happy if the movie is a success. ”

"I promise you, it's not going to hurt anyone, it's just a movie. Mark Slunt also wanted to persuade, saying: "My wife can understand this, the key is communication, you try." Wang Yang said neatly: "No, no need to say it again, I'm ready to hang up." Mark Slunt suddenly went a little crazy, took a breath, and said, "Young, you are too immature this time!"

"Okay, I'm just immature, I'm only 19 years old, why do I want anything mature?" Wang Yang laughed in a scoundrel tone, laughed a few times, and said seriously: "Mark, I admit that Natalie is a good fit for Juno, but one thing she is most unsuitable for is that sentence, she will make my girlfriend angry." Man, it's not just Natalie who can act in this world, I'd rather interview 10,000 more people, to the UK and Italy, than to upset Jessica, that's all. Bye-bye, Mark, and get ready for tomorrow's auditions!"

Mark Slunt said helplessly, "OK, you're such a good boyfriend." ”

"You're right, I'm trying to be like that. Wang Yang smiled and pressed to end the call, put the phone back in his pocket, and turned around and walked back to the room, but when he turned around, he was stunned, only to see Jessica standing not far in front with a smile on her face, he was silent for a while, and then smiled casually: "Hi, Jessica." He strode back to the computer, turned off Natalie's picture, and dragged it into the retraction station.

Jessica walked over and whispered, "Jan, dinner is ready." Wang Yang said "Okay", and was about to click to clean up the recycle bin, her hand was held down by Jessica, she shook her head with a smile, and controlled the mouse to restore the picture again. She remembered Wang Yang's words just now, her heart was beating fast, full of the feeling of being loved, and she said softly: "I heard it all." ”

"Oh. Wang Yang shrugged, a little unsure of what to say, smiled, and said, "Fortunately, I didn't mean bad things about you." ”

Jessica grinned toothily, held the mouse and opened the picture, she looked at Natalie Portman wearing a peaked cap on the screen, and remembered what Wang Yang said about Juno's appearance requirements these days, she smiled: "It's very similar to Juno, Yang, contact her!"

"Leave this alone. Wang Yang snatched the mouse, dragged the pictures back into the trash can to delete them all, dragged Jessica's hand and walked out of the room, and said with a smile: "Dinner time." Jesse, there's pumpkin pie tonight, right?"

Jessica didn't answer his question, she stood still and refused to leave, she looked at Wang Yang who turned around, and said seriously: "Yang, I won't be angry, and I won't be unhappy." I have confidence in our relationship, and I absolutely believe in you!" she said with tenderness in her eyes, "I'm your girlfriend, I won't care about your affair with Natalie, because I know it's not true; ”

She knew that for the sake of Juno's candidate, during this time, Wang Yang scratched her head, and in the last few days, she was even more dull, so she felt very worried about it, but she couldn't help much, but now there is a good candidate. She looked at Wang Yang and said again, "Contact Natalie, Yang." ”

"Jessica, thank you. Wang Yang smiled slightly, and said, "But I really don't want to make a scandal......" Jessica frowned, interrupted him, and said commandingly: "Contact her!" Wang Yang was stunned, Jessica frowned and took a step forward, reached into his pocket and took out his mobile phone, immediately pressed a number in the address book, called, and said: "Hello, Mr. Snent, Jan asked me to tell you, contact Natalie Portman." Well, bye-bye!"

Wang Yang covered his forehead, looked at her and laughed. Jessica hung up the phone, with a sweet smile on her face, put the phone back in his pocket, and smiled, "Okay, it's done." Wang Yang smiled and dragged her hand, walked outside, and said, "Let's eat!"

After a happy dinner, Wang Yang and Jessica leaned on the sofa and watched TV, but soon received a call from Mark Slent, as if he was afraid that Wang Yang would regret it, he quickly contacted Natalie Portman's agent. Jessica took the remote control to turn down the volume of the TV, Wang Yang put one hand around her waist, and on the other hand, held the mobile phone to her ear, and listened to Mark Slant say: "Young, I have already contacted, Natalie Portman said that she is not interested, she wants to concentrate on school." ”

"Haha!" Wang Yang couldn't help but smile, and his heart suddenly relaxed, because from a calm and rational point of view, he couldn't convince himself that Natalie couldn't play Juno, but from an emotional point of view, he really didn't want to cooperate with Natalie. Fortunately, now the matter is settled!" he smiled and said, "It's a pity, isn't it, then we have to continue looking for someone." ”

Jessica next to her frowned when she heard this, Wang Yang smiled at her, but heard Mark Slenter laugh again, and said, "Hey, my boss, I haven't finished my words yet, Natalie's attitude is not very resolute, she agrees to start a phone conversation with you, right now." I'll text you with her number. After a pause, Mark said in a serious tone, "Young, you have to convince her." ”

Listening to Jessica laughing again, she patted Wang Yang's shoulder, stood up and walked to the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Yang, come on, I'll clean up the dishes." ”

Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders, half-lay on the sofa, looked at the number sent by Mark Slent, read it twice and remembered it, got through, looked at the program on the TV screen, and said, "Hi, hello, is it Miss Natalie Portman? Well, I'm Wang Yang." ”

Natalie Portman's voice came from there, and she said lightly, "Hi, Mr. Wang. After saying hello, Wang Yang said directly to the phone: "Miss Portman, I want to invite you to star in "Juno". Natalie immediately answered: "Mr. Wang, it's September soon, and I'm going to study at Harvard." I hope to enjoy the university and have a normal growth trajectory. ”

"But I love the funny, meaningful stories, some of which can make me desperate," she added. But seriously, I'm not interested in a story like "Youth Musical", if it's an ordinary campus story, wouldn't it be better for me to experience it directly in college? Mr. Wang. ”

"Hmm. Wang Yang answered her, Natalie's meaning was obvious, if "Juno" was like "Youth Musical", don't bother her. He organized it and said, "I understand, Miss Portman, let me tell you about the general content of "Juno", Juno is a very casual, solitary 16-year-old girl, one day she was probably idle and bored, and decided to have sex with a track team teenager Paulie, and then she became pregnant......"

Next, he told the story of "Juno", and Natalie listened quietly all the time, and when he was finished, she asked, "What do you want to shoot this story?"

Wang Yang sat down and began to become serious, and said to her: "Pregnancy is just an opportunity, Juno is facing all kinds of changes, on the one hand, she has entered the adult world, she has seen the values of the adoptive couple, on the other hand, she is still in the young and immature campus, and Pauli has a story, Poly is very immature, but he also has things that adults do not have. Juno learned a lot during this pregnancy, she thought a lot, and her mindset changed......"

Waiting for him to finish speaking again, Natalie seemed to let out an "oh" with interest, she was silent for a moment, and said, "Mr. Wang, I would like to see the full script." When I see the story in its entirety, I know if I'm really interested. ”

Wang Yang laughed and said, "Of course." "A lot of things need to be made clear in person, and he's going to have to come face to face to see if Natalie Portman is really a good fit for Juno, and it's a mutual examining process. Hearing that Natalie was silent over there, Wang Yang had nothing to say, and said, "Then, goodbye." The rest of the matter was to tell her agent to arrange a meeting time, the place was naturally New York, and he had to fly over.

"Okay, goodbye. Natalie Portman said a few words and ended the call.

Listening to the "beep" sound of the mobile phone, Wang Yang pressed the end button, he looked at Jessica who came over there, she asked with a smile, "How is it?" Wang Yang smiled at her and said, "I'm going to New York again." ”
