Chapter 375: Deluxe Lineup (2nd Update)
[Thank you to 'Book Worm' 588 for tipping!] 】
The interviewee's name is Nina Dubov, and she is still a little immature.
Originally, Hu Yifei didn't choose her, but this girl was very interesting. She came all the way to Los Angeles not to participate in the interview, but to simply chase stars, or to love a book.
"I like you Galen, i-love-you-so-much, I'm a huge fan of yours and I love the vampires in you. It doesn't matter who the movie is, please be sure to give me an autographed group photo. She took out two copies of "Twilight" books from her bag and handed them to Hu Yifei with a solemn face.
Hu Yifei signed with interest, "Then Nina, I've already done the book signing, are you still interested in playing this role?" ”
The Canadian girl paused for a moment and said in surprise: "What, did I get this role?" Oh God, today must be my lucky day, it's amazing. ”
Her appearance is too sweet, and her beauty will even steal the heroine. Since Hu Yifei chose her, he had to make a slight change in the plot. was originally a female best friend who was very frustrated at school like Juno, but now she has been replaced by Nina, the cheerleader who is very mixed at school.
There is also a wealthy couple, Mark and Vinesa, who will no longer be so important because of the cuts in the scenes, that they will be completely reduced to supporting roles.
Sometimes Hu Yifei even wonders if so many scenes of adoptive couples in the original book are played by big-name actors like Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner, which causes the plot to favor adoptive couples?
But now he is looking for two bigger stars to play, but the nature is completely different, and the official supporting role performance has become a cameo. Choosing actors in this way makes it easier to find.
Hu Yifei flipped through his mobile phone number book, pulled it down from top to bottom, and finally stayed somewhere. Without much hesitation, he directly dialed the phone number of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the "most focused" gossip couple in Hollywood.
……
It was a sunny morning, and the bell of Toronto Orange County Middle School had already sounded, and classes were going on in the classroom as usual, but today many students were obviously absent-minded, and the students sitting by the window looked out the window on the school lawn, and from time to time the classmates next to them exchanged heads and ears.
The middle-aged female teacher who was teaching art class couldn't help but shake her head secretly when she saw the students like this, he walked to the window and looked outside, and said, "Do you want us to do an outdoor wind collection exercise today?" ”
The students in the classroom immediately started to heckle and praised the teacher Shengming. The middle-aged female teacher laughed, walked back to the podium, and said, "Okay, don't dream, you can give me a good lesson." ”
"Alas~ I knew!" The students were immediately disappointed. It was the first time a Hollywood movie had come to Orange County, and they were going to miss the first shoot.
The female teacher shrugged her shoulders and continued to talk about the importance of the choice of colors for painting, but when she saw that there was not a single student in the class who was paying attention, she couldn't help but complain a little in her heart, why did the principal's board approve a movie to be filmed here, don't you know that it will cause a lot of trouble to the school? But the essence of those people is more with the nature of businessmen, and for the sake of popularity, even if it is a matter of letting students take a holiday, it is estimated that they can do it, right?
Today is the day when the filming of the movie "Juno" starts, and from preparation to casting, the time is not small.
Except for the baby who was prepared early, the rest of the characters were ready to shoot immediately.
This is a peaceful town, full of European and American style rural buildings, but not sparse, and the width of the streets is also very suitable for film crews; And that high school is also quite ideal, although it is small, its environment, the playground environment is very quiet. It is said that because of Canada's unique geographical structure, the town is prone to fog as soon as winter begins.
…… This is exactly the kind of scene temperament that "Juno" needs.
In terms of film crew, personnel from several important departments such as photography, lighting, and recording are all members of "Inception"; For several positions such as art direction, art design, set makeup, etc., Hu Yifei chose some talents from Hollywood who are good at youth romance movies to join.
The photographer of "Juno" is naturally still Varay Pfister. After the two collaborated on two films, especially "Inception", his photographer invitations suddenly became rich, and he became famous in Hollywood today. To a certain extent, he was very grateful to Hu Yifei, coupled with the happy cooperation and tacit understanding between the two, so he declined the photography invitation of several movies and waited for "Juno" to start.
What's more, after "Juno", there are still several blockbusters waiting for him to manipulate the camera, how can he be willing to give up such a good opportunity?
As for what style and color tone to use to shoot "Juno", Hu Yifei and Valey Pfister have long discussed. "Juno" is a serious story about a teenage girl who becomes pregnant, goes through changes, and makes life decisions...... But the way it is expressed should be light and lively. Bright sunshine is indispensable, but it is not spring sunshine. It's also not the warm autumn sun like "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".
The tone of "Juno" should be like a winter sun, the light is soft and textured, which will reduce the seriousness of the story, making people feel not too frivolous, but it seems warm in the heart.
Some home shots should also appear warm, warm and full of style.
As the shooting approached, Baby looked very nervous. She knew that according to her own level, such a role before would not be her turn at all. So in private, although I don't like Scarlett, I also spent a lot of effort thinking about the role. Most of them are ruffians brought over from the role of "Jinx", who can sit crookedly and never sit seriously, looking like a rough girl.
"How's the preparation?" Hu Yifei walked over and asked.
Baby took a deep breath, pouted and coquettishly said, "I'm so nervous, what should I do?" ”
"Learn to relax." Hu Yifei looked at her style, pinched her sharp chin slightly, raised his head, looked at it carefully for a long time, and suddenly frowned and shouted, "Makeup artist." ”
Makeup artist Ellie Jie walked over, "What's wrong?" ”
Hu Yifei said: "This shape doesn't look right. His face was too small, he had too many bangs on his forehead, and almost half of his face was covered. There are also two big braids, which don't match this play very well. Let's break it up again and tie it into a ponytail. As for the face, can you think of any way to get more of her face on camera? ”
Ellie thought about it, and pointed it in front of the baby's forehead, so that the scattered bangs were divided to the sides, and the hanging hair on both sides was slightly messy. "I think I know what you're asking, I'll help her get her hair redone." ”
“OK。”
It's busy getting into the shooting mode.
At the same time, another film "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" made by Family Pictures is scheduled for Christmas, and it has entered the final period of intensive publicity.
This time it was announced in collaboration with Twentieth Century Fox, and with Will Smith's appeal, the film received widespread attention when it first launched. The media and fans are very interested in Will Smith's supposedly transformational work "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", which is an Oscar-oriented work.
What's more, the script of this movie was written by Hu Yifei, and he also served as a producer in it.
"Smith's family is out!"
The media and fans are quite interested in this situation, this is the first time Will Smith has brought his son Jaden Smith to act, and he also plays his own son in the play, "It's so funny." (To be continued.) )
