After two more days of shooting, only the basketball hall, the auditorium, and a duet for the New Year's holiday were left in the singing and dancing part. Basketball and the auditorium are the highlights, each with a few singing and dancing scenes, including Troy Burton and his teammates' practice, all the audition episodes, and the final chorus. Footage of the basketball arena will still be filmed at Eastern High School, while the auditorium will be done in the auditorium of another high school in Salt Lake City, Murray High School.

But the crew suspended their work, because the time came to Christmas, and the crew had a three-day holiday to let everyone go home for Christmas. Of course, you can choose to stay in Salt Lake City, and people like Michael Pitt, Harry George, and others will spend this Christmas in Salt Lake City in order to save money on the road.

And those with high incomes naturally choose to go home and spend Christmas happily with their families.

Rachel went back to Toronto, her attitude towards Wang Yang has become even colder in the past two days, even if it is about work, she doesn't express her opinions very much, and listens silently most of the time; Tom Welling went back to New York; Jessica and others also returned to Los Angeles, and Wang Yang stepped on the plane to San Francisco, he wanted to take this vacation to put down all his work and reunite with his family.

San Francisco's Chinatown, full of buildings with red walls and green tiles, is full of elements of Chinese culture. As Christmas approaches, Chinatown is lit up with Christmas decorations everywhere, and a Christmas tree full of lights is placed at the entrance of Wang's Restaurant.

Wang's Restaurant is a small two-storey building with restaurants below and homes above. When Wang Yang walked into his room and looked at everything familiar in the room, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, the familiar air, the familiar smell, which made him feel a warm feeling all over his body, and his heart was extremely peaceful.

The room was actually very small, and the walls on all sides were also dusty, but Wang Yang just felt very comfortable, he casually threw down his backpack, walked two steps, jumped onto the bed at once, put his head on the pillow, and said vaguely: "Oh my God, it's amazing!" He stuffed himself for a long time, until he couldn't stand it anymore, and then sat up.

Wang Yang took a big breath and scanned everything in the room with a smile, he grew up here, and it was full of good memories.

There are many, many things in the small room, the bookcase by the wall is full of all kinds of books, both English and Chinese, and there are several trophies and medals on the upper floor, all of which are some strange awards; there are many models on the desk next to it, including cameras and soldier dolls; and a full basketball is placed in the corner.

And the walls are covered with movie posters, all kinds of pasted like the poster wall of a movie theater, and there is hardly a vacant space.

Wang Yang got up and walked to the wall, looking at the movie posters, Forrest Gump from "Forrest Gump" sitting on a wooden bench, and the smiling faces of Ai Feido and Duoduo from "Cinema Paradiso...... All of his favorites. Wang Yang stretched out his hand and gently stroked these posters, there was no dust at all, obviously they had been cleaned, and he said with a smile: "Thank you, Mom." ”

He turned around and walked a few steps, picked up the backpack he had just thrown on the ground, and took out a brand-new movie poster from it, the poster of "Smart - Ghost Shadow".

Holding the poster, Wang Yang familiarly opened the drawer of the desk, took out a piece of glue, painted the corners of the poster, found a vacant space on the wall on the other side, moved a stool, and pasted the poster.

"Beautiful!" jumped off the stool, Wang Yang looked up at the poster with a smile, with a satisfied face, thinking about the trajectory of the past year, those bitter or exhilarating memories, he stood with a smile for a long time, the filming of "Song and Dance Youth" is coming to an end, maybe a new poster will be posted here soon.

He suddenly remembered the day when "Spirit-Ghost Shadow" was finished, he sighed at that time that he didn't know when he would be able to shout "action" and "cut" again, and suddenly remembered Rachel, he shook his head sharply and said to himself: "Don't! Don't think about it!" He won't bother Rachel's life anymore, she is right, some things are different, he can no longer pretend to be confused and deceive himself to hurt a girl.

So, Wang Yang's eyes swept everywhere, trying to find something else to attract his attention, but he suddenly frowned, and muttered helplessly: "e-on!" He walked to the bedside table and picked up a wooden photo frame placed on it, the photo in the frame, a blonde girl holding his arm, they leaned together, smiling very happily and sweetly, with the Golden Gate Bridge behind him.

"Young, you're a bastard! I hate you, you should die......"

Wang Yang walked quickly to the desk, opened the lower cabinet at the bottom of the sundries, threw the photo frame in, slammed the cabinet door, and said, "It's clean!" He took out his mobile phone, made a call, and said with a smile: "Hi, Jessica, I'm home." Yes, warm home ......"

He chatted with Jessica for a while, and suddenly, he heard his mother's shout from below: "Yang, come down to eat!" Wang Yang responded loudly: "Oh, I'll come down right away!" Jessica over there said suspiciously: "Yang, what do you mean?" Wang Yang laughed at the phone and explained: "Oh, this is Chinese, which means I'm going to eat." Okay, Jessica, bye-bye! Wait, kiss me first. Jessica laughed and said, "No, I asked Danny to kiss you, ha, and it said no." Bye-bye!"

Wang Yang smiled and put away his mobile phone and walked downstairs.

After spending the Christmas holiday happily and leisurely in San Francisco, Wang Yang returned to Salt Lake City, and the crew of "Youth Musical" reassembled for the final stage of filming.

In the café of the hotel, Wang Yang looked at Jessica in a big sweater opposite, he said "Bell Bell Bell" sound, what was going to be taken out from behind him, Jessica was full of curiosity and expectation, he finally took out the gift and put it on the table, and smiled mysteriously: "Christmas gift!"

"Thanks, what's it?" Jessica glanced at him happily, she took the box of gifts and opened the colored paper, and suddenly smelled a burst of fragrance, she frowned and said, "This smells ......" She opened the gift box, her heart beat fast, and she said in surprise: "Oh, my God!"

Wang Yang looked at the box of cakes and said with a smile: "Yes, wife cakes, specially made for you." He didn't lie this time, these cakes were indeed made by himself in an old bakery, and the owner of the bakery was good friends with his father, so he was able to knead the flour and beat the eggs himself, and finally sent them to the baking oven, all the time in person, he wanted to make up for the lie of the year. Looking at the surprised Jessica, he smiled and said, "Although it's not hot, it hasn't spoiled yet, eat one?"

"Of course!" Jessica nodded with joy on her face, picked up one and took a bite, and said with admiration, "Wow, it's delicious! Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "It's nothing, I'm the chef's son." Jessica looked at him and smiled sweetly, "Jan, you're so nice." Wang Yang jokingly said, "Oh, is that the only sentence? I also want a Christmas present, what happened, Santa Claus actually forgot me?"

Jessica rolled her eyes with a smile, she stood up and walked over, looked around, bent down and kissed Wang Yang's cheek quickly, and said with a sweet smile: "This is my gift." ”

Wang Yang touched the cheek that was kissed by her, and sighed: "Wow, thank you, what a good gift! He laughed and said, "You're doomed...... Because I still have a gift!" Jessica was stunned and said, "And?" Wang Yang smiled and took something out of his pocket, and said, "Of course, compared to other Santa Claus, my Santa Claus is very dedicated." He took out a rectangular box, took out a silver necklace from it, and said solemnly: "Do you like it?"

Jessica looked at the necklace, then at the box of cakes, felt Wang Yang's heart for her, and her heart was suddenly filled with a sense of happiness, she nodded, and said with a sweet smile: "Thank you, very beautiful necklace." ”

"Come on. Wang Yang stood up with a smile and said with interest: "I'll put it on for you and see what the lens effect will be." ”

"Ok, Director!" Jessica smiled and rolled her eyes.

※※The time quickly came to the middle of January 1999, and the filming of "Youth Musical" went smoothly, and after completing all the singing and dancing scenes in the basketball hall of Eastern High School and the party duet for the New Year's holiday, the crew came to the auditorium of Murray High School to shoot the last scene.

The scene of the New Year's holiday party, filmed in a resort hotel under the Vasadar Mountains, just as it was snowing in Salt Lake City, and the surrounding mountains were white, and the picture effect was very good, which is not comparable to the interior set. The shot of the hero and heroine watching the fireworks, according to the plan already designed by Wang Yang, used the lifting rocker arm to shoot a shot of looking up, and then took a panoramic view of the side, although there are no fireworks in the sky, but I believe that after the post-production of special effects, the final effect will be more beautiful than the real fireworks.

In the auditorium of Murray High School, the crew has been filming for a few days, and today, at this moment, the filming has come to the last set of shots, as long as this set of shots is passed, the filming of "Youth Musical" is declared complete.

This set of shots is some close-up shots of Troy Burton and Gabriela participating in the second round of auditions, on the stage of the auditorium, with a piano on the left, Zoe Deschanel in a red women's suit playing, Tom Welling and Jessica holding microphones, walking around according to the rehearsaled moves, singing the song "Free" composed by David Lawrence.

The audience under the stage was full of lead actors and extras, who were looking at each other with smiles on their faces, at the front of the stage there were two cameras, one of which was carried by Valey Pfister to film Tom Welling and Jessica, and the other was operated by a camera assistant to shoot the expressions of the audience, and Wang Yang and Anne Fletcher stood to the side, staring at whether the two lead actors were dancing correctly.

Jessica's eyes passed over Tom Welling's shoulders, looking at Wang Yang who was smiling with her hands on her chest in the distance, she sang happily: "We spread our wings and fly high-" Tom Welling, who was wearing a basketball team uniform, danced and sang: "Fly-"

Carrying the camera, Vary-Pfister circles around them, making the camera spin. Seeing Jessica looking over, Wang Yang smiled and gave a thumbs up, and continued to watch their performance, there was no problem, Jessica would look over this side when she needed to perform with her eyes, she seemed to have found the secret of acting.

As the song ended, there was warm applause under the stage, and Wang Yang shouted excitedly: "Cut!" He looked at Valey Pfister, Valey nodded that it was no problem, he couldn't help but wave his fist, walked out from the side of the stage, and smiled at everyone: "It's over!"

Everyone immediately cheered, and all the crew, leading actors and extras laughed and applauded, and the entire auditorium was boiling for a while.

"It's over, the shooting is over. Wang Yang exhaled, it lasted a month and a half, the filming of the movie was completed, his mood was indescribable, excited, happy and satisfied, very comfortable. He hugged Anne Fletcher, walked to the middle of the stage, looked at Valey Pfister, and said with a smile: "Vare, thank you for your hard work." ”

"Jan, you too. Vary-Pfister put down the camera, he hugged Wang Yang, and said with a smile: "It's been a pleasure working with you, you're not a powder keg director, man, that's good." ”

The two patted each other's shoulders, and Wang Yang smiled: "Vale, don't say this sentence so early, the work is not over yet, and there will be more work in the later stage." Valey Pfister laughed, "Yes, I know, so keep it up." Wang Yang let go of him and slapped his ass with a smile. For more than a month, he became good friends with this 37-year-old guy, Varay Pfister did not despise him and taught him many, many things, and he is grateful to this "old guy".

Wang Yang walked towards Tom Welling again, hugged him and smiled: "Thank you, Tom, the performance is very exciting, hard work." He turned to look at Jessica next to him, and she looked at him quietly with a sweet smile on her face. Wang Yang stretched out his hands and hugged the girl hard, and laughed softly: "Thank you, my sweetheart, the recent performance is great." ”

Jessica closed her eyes with a smile and leaned on his shoulder in enjoyment, she finally became the heroine of Wang Yang's movie, and she felt unprecedented joy to witness this moment together. She smiled, "Jan, that's because of you." ”

"OK!" Wang Yang let go of Jessica with a smile, looking at the crew under the stage, Rachel, Zachary and other leading actors, as well as those young and young extras, seeing the happy and beautiful smiling faces, he shouted: "Thank you!" At this time, Jessica handed him the microphone in his hand, Wang Yang nodded and took it, patted the microphone, and said with a smile: "Wow, can you hear it?"

Everyone on and off the stage applauded, everyone fell silent, looking at Wang Yang in the middle of the stage, and Jessica, Tom Welling and others also walked off the stage with smiles. Wang Yang glanced left and right, he was the only one left, looking at the people under the stage, he said with a puzzled expression: "Oh, what's the matter? I seem to be holding a solo concert." ”

"Haha!" Everyone laughed, some people applauded and whistled, and the fat man Harry George shouted coaxingly: "Director, let's sing!" Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders, looked at Valey Pfister below, and said with a smile: "Valeigh, take a picture of me singing, the plot of this time has been changed to my personal solo." Valey Pfister replied loudly: "Okay!" Everyone smiled, and Wang Yang then said seriously: "It's over, the filming of "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" has been completed, and everyone has worked hard for more than a month. ”

His voice echoed through the loudspeaker, and everyone listened quietly, Wang Yang continued: "We have paid countless sweats, countless efforts, and countless films. Everyone laughed, Jessica, who had been the most numerous, covered her face with a smile, and Wang Yang smiled again: "But we also got a movie, thank you for your efforts."

Wang Yang looked at the familiar faces below and said with a smile: "Valei, I think you will get the best photography, in the near future." Valey Pfister smiled and spread his hands, and Wang Yang laughed and shouted again: "Tom, are you ready to be a big star?" Tom Welling smiled like a big boy next door, Wang Yang looked at Rachel who was smiling, his eyes passed without stopping, and said: "Zachary, your Wren is so funny......"

After making jokes about a few people, Wang Yang's expression slowly calmed down, and said: "But, what did those media say, tell me......! Jessica Alba with a head in the water, because she didn't choose "Idle Hands". Everyone laughed, and Jessica laughed and pulled her hair so that her head didn't get into the water, and if she had chosen "Idle Hands" at the time, she shuddered to think about it.

"Hey, guys. Wang Yang said quietly: "Let's see who is worse!"

The applause and whistles resounded in the auditorium again, and when they stopped, Wang Yang then laughed and said: "I believe that in a few months, everyone will be able to see "Youth Musical" in the cinema and see our common achievements!" He said louder and louder: "When the time comes, those bastard media will know that this is not a bad movie, not a muddy work of a child director who has been blinded by success, ignorant of the sky, and is blindly confident, no, it is not! It will overturn those media and film critics and kick their ass hard!"

Jessica looked at Wang Yang on the stage with sweet eyes, kept clapping her palms hard, and shouted with a smile: "Yang, you are so cool!"

"Dude, that's a great point!" Harry George happily shouted, "Kick their ass!" Michael Pitt next to him leaned back in his chair, smiled and hugged his chest, and suddenly shouted, "Young, we will definitely make it!"

Rachel smiled faintly, clapping her hands, very happy for Wang Yang, but also a little confused, it's over, the shooting is over, and the script won't be said again. She looked at Wang Yang on the stage and muttered, "Yang, good luck." ”

Zachary, Tom Welling, Zoe Deschanel...... Valey Pfister, Anne Fletcher, David Lawrence...... Everyone applauded, whether it was the old guy who didn't think so, or the young man who was full of confidence in this, they all gave the applause to Wang Yang and themselves at this time.

"Guys!" Wang Yang on the stage shouted again, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your efforts! The concert is over, goodbye!" After that, he saluted everyone and walked to the bottom of the stage.

Everyone stood up, applause rose and fell, and the auditorium was filled with happy smiling faces, and everyone hugged each other and high-fived each other to say goodbye. As the filming of the film ends, everyone else will return to their own lives, except for the leading actors who need to do post-production recordings, as well as those who will do post-editing and soundtrack work.

Wang Yang came to the bottom of the stage, walked quickly to Jessica, and hugged her tightly with open hands: "Jessica, I'm so happy!"

"Jan, I'm so proud of you!" Jessica hugged him tightly, her eyes full of tenderness and happiness.
