Although it is a summer vacation, the playground of the small town high school is very lively, there are people moving camera equipment on the red runway, and some people directing the movement of group performances.

This is not the first day of filming in the school of "Juno", but on the periphery of the crew's lockdown, some local fans and students will come to stop and watch every day, and even fans from other parts of Toronto will come to see the Star Wars Queen up close, see Wonder Young, and if you are lucky, you can chat for a couple of sentences, get autographs and group photos.

"Man, I seem to see Jessica Alba...... Oh, and Rachel McAdams!" A white boy screamed with surprise on his face as he cordoned off the runway on the perimeter. Another boy of the same age next to him looked at him suspiciously, and said, "No way, they are not actors in Juno...... Oh my God! I saw it, it was them, and Tom Welling's stinky guy. ”

"Tom, it's Tom!" Several girls not far away exclaimed, their eyes were red, and a blonde girl said intoxicatedly: "Oh, what an unexpected bonus, he is so cute and ......sweet" Another brunette girl also said excitedly: "We are so lucky, the entertainment news said that "Youth Musical" will come to Toronto to do publicity in the next few days, it seems that they are here to visit the class......"

Following their gaze, they saw the tall and handsome Tom Welling standing at the back of the camera team, laughing and talking with Zachary and Michael Pitt, while Jessica and Rachel, who attracted the boys' attention, were standing behind the camera, watching the shooting with great interest and concern.

"Juno, wait a minute, huh...... I almost forgot that you didn't need me to tell the show. Wang Yang stopped. Natalie, who was holding her big belly in both hands, urged: "So let's start, my amniotic water is broken." Hathaway, who was next to her, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and she grinned widely. Wang Yang frowned, then nodded and smiled: "This sentence is good, it means that this matter is ready and can be born at any time, not bad." Natalie blinked, "You know what? My baby just kicked me in the direction of you, and I think he wanted to kick you." ”

"Oh, what mom has kids, now applicable. Wang Yang smiled, looked at Hathaway and asked, "Leah, you're okay, right?" Hathaway nodded and said, "Well, no problem, I can handle it." Wang Yang turned around and walked back to the back of the camera, smiled at Jessica and Rachel, and then looked back at Natalie and the two in the scene, picked up the director's horn and said, "Let's start, everyone is ready." ”

Jessica smiled sweetly, her eyes looked at Wang Yang who had entered the working state, she really liked the way he looked when he was directing on the set, hearing him shout "action", she said softly: "Cool ......" Rachel who was standing next to Jessica smiled, hearing this familiar "action", she felt that the performance on her body was ignited and kept jumping, but it was not her who was performing.

Jessica was also eager to try, she looked at Natalie with a big belly in the field, and pursed her lips, Juno, that's her "child", if last year's pregnancy wasn't oolong, she would have tried that, her and Jan's child "Juno" has also been born, but now "Juno" is a movie. Looking at Natalie's performance of Natalie, who walks like a pregnant woman, has casual movements and a unique tone, Jessica, who is very familiar with the script of "Juno", can't help but secretly admire how well she acted...... Can I perform?" Jessica asked herself, looking around, glancing at Rachel again, and then trying to make an expression on her face, silently reciting Natalie's lines. But immediately, she realized that she couldn't see it, she didn't know how good or bad the performance was. Jessica suddenly noticed that Rachel was looking at her, she smiled unnaturally and said softly, "I just wanted to try." ”

"Me too, the character is funny. Rachel also said in a suppressed voice.

"cut!good-take!" At this time, Wang Yang clapped his hands vigorously, picked up the loudspeaker and said to the audience: "It's all very good, but try this shot again and try other effects." Juno, try to calm your mind a little more, and Leah, your smile is brighter. He looked at Vary-Pfister, who was in control of the camera, and said, "This time I'm going to shoot some close-ups." ”

Looking at the crowd who were busy again, Jessica and Rachel, who wanted to chat, turned around and walked to the periphery, Jessica looked at the blue sky in front of her and said, "Rachel, I was thinking that if I was asked to play Juno, how would I play it?" Rachel glanced at her, smiled lightly, "I can do the role of Leah, but Juno, after watching Natalie Portman's performance, to be honest, I don't have the confidence to play better than her." Jessica was silent for a moment, then nodded, "She played a great job." ”

"That's one reason, and neither of us is a good fit for Juno. Rachel smiled and said, "Jan is right, everyone has their own style and temperament, at least for the time being. She patted Jessica on the shoulder and encouraged, "Jessica, your performance is not bad at all, you don't need to compare with Natalie, don't care about that, you know Jan won't care." Thinking of the resolute face on the hospital bed, she smiled: "What he likes is you, including your performance, he just likes it." ”

"Thank you, Rachel. Jessica smiled at her and said, "I don't have that to worry about, I know." She suddenly saw Joshua sitting on a chair in the distance and falling asleep with her head up, she frowned, and said, "Rachel, I'll go over for a moment." With that, he ran quickly. Rachel exhaled with a smile.

Coming to the chair and looking at her brother who was sleeping sweetly and drooling at the corner of her mouth, Jessica walked around the chair twice, reached out and punched him in the shoulder, shouting, "Joshua!" Joshua suddenly woke up from his sleep, his eyes widened and said, "What!?" He saw clearly that it was Jessica, slumped in the chair, and scolded helplessly: "My good sister, you are so boring." I knew it would be a disaster for you to visit. ”

"I'm bored?ha!Joshua Alba, how can you be lazy here?" Jessica sneered, pushed him off the chair hard, and pointed to the other side of the shooting, "Go see if you need help, hurry!"

Joshua sat back in his chair and said, "There's nothing to help, I'm not the leading actor, and my main job is to deliver water and ......food," he closed his eyes and said, "You just let me rest for a while, it's not in the way, and I'm almost exhausted, I work from morning to night every day, and I have to help you keep an eye on Young." Jessica was slightly stunned, and then said angrily: "Don't do boring things, I tell you, I trust Yang 100%, understand?"

"Don't worry, I didn't do anything, I just watched, no one was angry!" Joshua's face was full of energy, and he beat his mouth and said, "Ahem, it's time to report to you on my results." Good news, and bad news!"

Jessica rolled her eyes, and heard him say mysteriously: "Let's talk bad news first, that nasty woman and Jan have a good conversation, they often joke with each other, some of them are vulgar, they shouldn't be made by ordinary friends......" Jessica interjected: "That's they stirring up the lines, Jan told me, do you want to listen to a few jokes they made?"

Joshua shrugged his shoulders and said, "I've heard a lot, and it's not limited to jokes, they often talk about a lot of weird things, what humans, what nature, oh my God, they all make you want to sleep, the only normal thing is 'dogs', they all love dogs, of course you too, who doesn't like dogs? He glared at Jessica, and said in a deep voice: "They occasionally chat in Chinese, and Wang Yang also teaches her to learn Chinese......!

"Tune your head!" Jessica patted him on the head angrily, but Chinese? she raised an eyebrow, she should learn this, that way she could learn more about Young.

"Okay, then I'll have good news. Joshua touched his head in pain and said, "That woman doesn't like basketball and is a 'waste of time' for basketball fans, Jan is a basketball fan, he says life is different, she's vegan and tries to persuade Jan to be a vegetarian, but where did Jan grow up? He's a ruthless guy and he didn't agree." Crucially, she is not a Catholic. ”

Jessica covered her forehead and said, "Of course, she's Jewish. But what does it matter?" Joshua spread his hands and said, "Because the Lord will bless you." After a pause, he muttered quietly, "They have only one choice." He suddenly slapped his palm and said, "Wow, look at what I said, I will do too!" Jessica shook her head and laughed, "Joshua, I haven't told you yet, Natalie was the one I asked Jan to contact, and I'm happy now, she played a great job!"

"What? You're a madman!" Joshua stood up in surprise and glared, "You're pushing your boyfriend to someone else." Jessica looked at Wang Yang, who was commanding with a loudspeaker in the distance, smiled slightly, her eyes were full of seriousness, and said, "I'm not crazy, I'm very confident in my relationship with Yang." Joshua, you don't have to 'stare at' Yang anymore, go work hard. With that, she patted her brother on the shoulder.

Joshua reluctantly said "ok" and walked over to the film crew, shouting, "Hey, is anyone thirsty?"

After a morning of shooting, it was lunch time at noon, Wang Yang could officially receive his girlfriends and friends who came to visit the class, and have a good chat with them, looking at Zachary and Tom Welling, he spread his hands and smiled: "Hey, guys!" and they came to a hug solidly, he smiled and said hello to Rachel, then hugged Jessica and kissed her forehead.

Michael Pitt and Hathaway behind him were smiling, while Joshua gave Natalie a quick glance and saw her have a Juno-style teasing, in Young's words, the "hateful version", nothing out of the ordinary, but he didn't let his guard down, this woman's acting skills were too strong.

After getting to know each other, everyone walked to the shade rest area of the crew, looked at the good friends around them, Wang Yang said: "There is a classroom scene in the afternoon, are you interested in making a cameo? He knew Jessica had this in mind, and she wanted to appear in his movie, even if it wasn't a role, just a one-second group performance, and she wanted to participate.

If it is also beneficial from a publicity point of view, "The leading actors of "Youth Musical" will make a cameo appearance in "Juno"" will make more young people interested, and there will be no lines and a few short seconds as a background, and it will not destroy the sense of substitution in the movie.

Sure enough, when she heard that she could make a cameo, a hint of joy flashed on Jessica's face, and Zachary seemed even more excited, and said happily: "Really? That's great!" Tom Welling smiled and said, "Okay!" Rachel was also very happy and asked, "Is this okay?" Wang Yang nodded and said, "Well, no problem, it's just a background shot, you can't grab the camera." He laughs, "That way Juno will be even more special." ”

"Oh, why?" asked Natalie, in agreement. Wang Yang looked at her, then at Jessica, Rachel, Zachary and other friends, and said with a smile: "Think about it, ten years later, 2010." If someone comes back to see the movie, then he's like, 'Oh, that's crazy!' The movie has Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Rachel McAdams, Michael Pitt, Tom Welling, Zachary Levi, ...... They all look young!'"

Everyone laughed, and at this time, Joshua in the back shouted: "Hey, man, you missed it, and Joshua Alba! He is the Oscar for Best Actor!" Everyone laughed again, Wang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, there is Joshua Alba." Joshua plays a small role with lines, likes Juno, but the expression is mocking the arrogant boy of the school team, thanks to the "true color performance", he plays it very well, and the appearance of mocking Natalie is definitely Oscar-level.

"See, strong lineup!" Wang Yang smiled, and a quiet face with a freckled nose suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, the blonde girl also named Annie, she also participated in the movie, although she failed to audition for Leah, but got a small role suitable for her. A few days ago, she came to Toronto in a hurry, and went back to Los Angeles after filming her own scene.

Ten years later, will the exclamation of the person who watched "Juno" be the name "Anne Darren"? Wang Yang thought silently, a little distracted for a while.

"Wow, speaking of which, I think if 'Juno' was a movie that swept the golden sour plum, it would be good. Natalie laughed, a teasing smile. Everyone knew she was joking, and they all smiled. Wang Yang, who came back to his senses, frowned, and pretended to think about it: "Probably not, right? Hmm, if you win the Golden Sour Award for Worst Actress, beat me up, or make another film, we will hit the Oscars!"

While everyone was laughing, there was a shout in the distance: "Director, director!" Wang Yang looked over there and saw Jill Thaddeus waving to him, he smiled at everyone, looked at Jessica and said, "I'll go over and see what's going on." With that, he ran towards Gil Thaddeus.

"Is there something wrong with the hamburger?" Joshua muttered worriedly. Zachary said in a pleading tone, "Natalie, can you do me a favor? Can you ask Mr. George Lucas for an autograph for me? I'm a big Star Wars fan." Natalie was like a different person, without the slightest bit of arrogance, with a faint smile on her face, she nodded, "Well, okay." ”

During the afternoon shooting, Jessica, Rachel and others successfully completed cameos and became part of the "Juno" credits. In order to have a small reunion with Jessica, and the progress of the shooting was faster than expected, Wang Yang ended the filming this afternoon ahead of schedule. He drove Jessica to a nearby town, where he had been drunk that day, and they watched the sunset in front of that beautiful lake, and had dinner at a restaurant in the city, and played until late, and he sent Jessica back to the hotel before returning to the town inn.

In the corridor, Wang Yang opened the door, but found that the light was on in the room, he walked in suspiciously, only to see a black and brown-haired girl sitting in front of the desk, looking at the book on the table in fascination, he was stunned and said: "Nancy, what are you doing?" Nancy over there was startled, turned her head to look over, stood up and said, "I'm reading." Wang Yang smiled, walked to the kettle and poured a glass of warm water, and said, "Of course I know, I mean it's so late, it's almost 1 o'clock at 12 o'clock, why are you still reading here?"

"I'm sorry. Nancy looked at her feet a little embarrassed and said, "After I finished sorting out the papers, I saw the film study book on your desk, I flipped it up, and the annotated notes in it were great, and I saw it in the blink of an eye......" She looked at the thick stack of books on the desk and smiled, "I thought you wouldn't be back tonight." ”

Wang Yang smiled and took a sip of water, without answering this question, what can he say, could it be true that Jessica is a good friend, and she is a little uncomfortable and needs to rest well, and she can't stay overnight? Seeing that Nancy was still a little embarrassed, he smiled and said: "It's nothing, if you want to continue reading, I will lend you those books, you take them back to the room and read them slowly, but leave me a copy." ”

"Oh, is that okay, really?" Nancy's eyes lit up, and when she saw Wang Yang nodding, she happily picked up the stack of books with both hands, and only a new one remained, and she said happily: "Thank you, director, then I'm leaving, good night." ”

Looking at her back as she walked outside with a book in her hand, Wang Yang remembered how embarrassed she was when she was in Park City, struggling to carry the projector, and ten years later, in 2010, when the person watching "Juno" was browsing the credits, would he be surprised that one of the assistant directors was Nancy Reno?

Wang Yang can't be sure of this, but he can be sure of one thing, that is, in ten, twenty, or thirty years, there will be an excellent female director named Nancy Lino.
