To be honest, at this time, Victoria's Secret and LTD Group are far from the later scenery, although through marketing and promotion throughout the 90s, Victoria's Secret occupies a certain market and popularity in North America, especially through the linkage with many American dramas, making Victoria's Secret models become a sexy spokesperson in North America.

But after all, it is still circulating among the middle class in big cities, and with the addition of television and traditional media, it is far less than the power of the Internet. Therefore, no matter how you look at Victoria's Secret now, it is not worth making people put in such a big effort to deal with it.

"We've already investigated, and Roy Raymond doesn't have any descendants, and after he divorced his wife, his wife remarried. Although he has several relatives of the younger generations, they are just ordinary people, and they do not have such great energy to launch a public opinion offensive on such a scale as now. Marketing Director Ed Ryzek said calmly.

"And will these gossip magazines be able to dig up the news?" asked Leslie Wexnay, unwillingly.

After all, he is the chairman of LTD Group, and he has been in the shopping mall for more than 20 years.

"It's difficult, all the inquiries we have on the table have been rejected by the other side, and the other party has also used the guise of press freedom, which makes it difficult for us to dig up the real news. Marketing Director Ed Ryzek also had a headache, "And I'm also worried that these things will affect our catwalk performance at the Cannes Film Festival in the middle of the year." ”

As an experimental step of the Victoria's Secret (big) show, this year's marriage with the Cannes Film Festival in France is definitely the company's top priority. To this end, the entire LTD Group has been preparing for several months.

Leslie Wexney pondered for a moment, "Dig!" he said viciously, "those gossip magazines, whether it's People magazine or U.S. Weekly, I don't believe they can be so tight-lipped!"

"They must have a loophole!"

————————————————————

Just when the entire LTD Group and Leslie Wexnay were overwhelmed by the sudden gossip, in the distant Toronto, Canada, a secretly settled Hollywood crew began its journey in the new year.

"Welcome to Juno's first tracking session. After Sid gave a brief start, the main behind-the-scenes crew and actors who sat in the circle applauded softly.

Sid glanced from left to right, except for the group of producers recommended by Henry. In order to improve the shooting, Sid still specially transferred Lance Arcord.

Other than that, "How's the set crew's preparation?" Sid asked solemnly.

"As required by the script, we have completed the sets for several of the main scenes, including Juno's house, school, Leah's house, and Brick's house. The set leader flipped through his notes, and then he added: "In addition, because the time span in the script is a whole year, we have also prepared the four seasons of these scenes, such as fake trees, blowers, etc. ”

"Yes, that's good. Sid nodded, then turned, "What about the clothing department?"

"In terms of costumes, according to your request from the director, we have adjusted the costumes of Juno, Leah, Juno's parents and adoptive couples, and you have also passed it. The head of the costume department said as he opened the photo album that set the makeup for each character.

Sid took it and looked through it, and made sure that it was indeed his own pass, so he nodded: "Yes, no problem." ”

This made everyone in the costume department breathe a sigh of relief, Sid then turned to look at the camera crew, and Lance Arcord rubbed his hair: "According to Sid's request, we are using standard film photography this time, so in terms of the choice of luminosity, do you want to change back to the style of "Curfew"?"

Sid thought for a moment and replied: "It doesn't need to be so colorful, but it should be more natural on the basis of "Little Sunshine Beauty". ”

"More natural?" asked Lance Arcord, a little confused.

Sid scratched his chin and said, "Well, it should be said that in addition to the main contrasting colors, there is no need to design too strong color contrast, and at the same time, keep the transitional color part clean, so that the overall picture is more natural in color and delicacy." ”

"OK, I see. Lance Arcod nodded, "I shoot low-light scenes at night, and then I use adjustments to get a little closer to low-light shots for indoor scenes, and try to be as natural as possible for daytime scenes." ”

"Good. Sid nodded with satisfaction, and asked Lance Arcord to personally take charge of the filming of "Juno", which was really helpful.

After arranging the filming for the rest of the meeting, Sid shifted the focus of the meeting to the actors.

In terms of the main actors, in addition to Lindsay playing Juno, who plays Juno's boyfriend Brick, Sid finally chose Joseph Gordon to play it, that is, the pseudo-Zhengtai with the nickname of Joseph.

Although he was 19 years old at this time, he was born baby-faced, and he looked no different from a 14- or 5-year-old teenager in terms of height, temperament, and appearance. At the same time, although he is still far from becoming famous, his rich experience in the film makes Sid quite satisfied with his basic acting skills.

Well, of course, there is Juno's friend, Leah, who has more roles in this film, although she was originally going to be played by Lindsay's little best friend Amanda Seyfried, but because of something at home, she temporarily withdrew from filming. Therefore, Sid chose a young actor who was accidentally discovered in the materials submitted by the casting directors.

Twelve-year-old Blake Lively —— the heroine of the "historical" teen fashion drama "Gossip Girl" and the actor of QueenS.

When Sid saw her information, he was still a little hesitant, after all, Blake Lively, who was only 12 years old, was younger than Lindsay now, but when she came to the audition, Sid and others were surprised to find that this 12-year-old girl was already 1.6 meters tall!

And her appearance - "I don't think she's twelve, but like twenties!" was Lance Arcord's first reaction at the time.

Yes, to say that the teenager is precocious, this QueenS is even more exaggerated than Sid. With his trademark long blonde hair and a height half a head taller than his peers, he has a slightly green, but quite recognizable "mature" face.

It's no wonder that the casting director strongly recommended the little girl to Sid in the first place.

Among the other adult actors, the actors who play Juno's parents are JK Simmons and Alison Janney in the original version, and Sid didn't care too much, but found the actor who best suited the role in the shortlist submitted by the casting director.

Sid, a couple who wanted to adopt Juno's child, chose Mark Ruffalo and Amy Adams. Jeremy was overwhelmed by the intense filming of "24 Hours". And Sid chose Mark Ruffalo on the one hand, of course, because this will be the Hulk of the future.

On the other hand, because he had already starred in a film shortlisted for the Oscar at this time, Sid also maintained certain expectations for his acting skills.

"It all started with this couch. Lindsay turned the first page and read.

The general script reading meeting is mainly to make the actors familiar with the script, and will not ask for any performance factors.

Juno was standing in the bedroom, and Brick was sitting on the couch. "It's Sid himself who reads the descriptive part," Juno said about it, pulling off her underwear and walking over to the couch and sitting down on Brick's lap. ”

Although he was reading the script very seriously, but after reading, Sid himself felt that the more he listened to it, the more he looked like Xiao Huangwen's hurry! And Lindsay and Amy Adams and others couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, while Mark Ruffalo and Joseph Gordon and others showed expressions that wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

Sid put down the script and said helplessly: "Okay, just laugh if you want." ”

"Puff-" "Hahaha-" Regardless of the group of men, Lindsay, Amanda, and Amy Adams laughed first, while Mark Ruffalo and the others covered their mouths and snickered.

"OK, OK, before the filming of this scene started, a bunch of people have already begun to disrespect the director. Sid shrugged and laughed self-deprecatingly.

After the joke, the likes of Mark Ruffalo and Joseph Gordon relaxed, and the filming of "Juno" officially began.

"Juno", as a movie about the early pregnancy of a teenager, hides a feminist "ambition" under the unique cool wrapping of the heroine Juno!

In fact, this is evident in the original story. Whether it is Juno's boyfriend or the husband of the couple who intends to adopt a child, they are all men with weak personalities, no opinions, and can't bear the pressure at all.

But Sid doesn't intend to portray the men as so incompetent, not just because he is a man himself, but because both men and women should play a corresponding role in the story, so that the whole story is more balanced, and the film can be better.

As a maverick high school girl, Juno became pregnant unexpectedly after secretly tasting the forbidden fruit with her boyfriend, but whether it was at school or at home, she showed a sharp image of an independent personality and a cool personality.

Even Leah, Juno's friend, is quite mature, from carrying the sofa at the beginning, to going to have an abortion, to finding an adoptive couple. This pair of little girlfriends in the film, while complaining and scolding with foul mouths, completed independently, quite a bit of "Crazy Flowers of the End".
