Chapter 378: Finishing (Five Watches)
It's not just the actors who are working hard, but the art director staff is also trying to create something out of nothing, and they design the room decoration according to a few very brief sentences of the script.
Juno's bedroom has a number of band posters on the wall, Nina's room has a mural of an old man whom "she" finds attractive, and Polly's bedroom is designed in a slightly boyish style to reflect her innocence.
The film's art director, Steve Sacrad, is very good at making this aspect of the film, and also designed the house of Vanessa and Mark in the film along the lines of the script: "Vanessa reads a lot of books about family in order to give the impression that they will try to do the best for their children".
At this time, a young couple who played the role of adoptive father and adoptive mother finally appeared.
When Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie appeared together in the small town of Vancouver, most of the town came to watch. Nina Dubov, baby, and Andrew were also surprised. The supporting roles in this movie are actually used in such big roles, how did the director invite them?
"Hi Pete and Julie, thank you for coming. You've been a great help. Hu Yifei greeted him warmly.
Brad Pitt said, "It's okay, it's a vacation anyway." Since you have opened your mouth, we also have time, so why not do it. ”
He said it easily, but Hu Yifei wanted to write down this favor. Originally, he was going to pay for it, but the two starred in a direct friendship.
In the whole of Hollywood, it is unique to let a lineup of 20 million+ go to other movies to play supporting roles. The few examples will only appear in the popular works of great directors. Now let one of Hollywood's most talked-about couples appear in one of their own little movies as a cameo, or a cameo as a couple, that's really ...... That's amazing!
Not only the crew thinks so, but the whole of Hollywood thinks so.
seems to be amazed by Hu Yifei's strong connections again, and he always seems to have the ability to let big-name stars surrender their identities to play supporting roles in their own low-budget movies. The last time "The Hangover" had already shown this talent, the current "Juno" seems to be more relaxed.
But when you think about it, you may be surprised at first. But now Hu Yifei has played the role of Marvel, the family company, and is still a member of the board of directors of Disney. It only took two and a half years for him to span, but his identity is completely different. Especially when you think of his current age, no one can predict what status he will grow up to in the future.
In fact, if you can invite the two of Pitt, Hu Yifei's own movie reputation plays a greater role. If it is a bad movie with unknown roots and finding someone to play a supporting role, it is definitely a fool's dream, but Hu Yifei's works have quality assurance. This is the key to the two of them being able to put their minds at ease.
The arrival of the two big names also caused "Juno" to attract a wave of attention.
The media began to care about what Hu Yifei's new film was filming, "A drama film about a high school girl's pregnancy!? Isn't it a romantic campus love story? Isn't it a hilarious comedy like "American Pie"? It's actually about teenage pregnancy! ”
Everyone knows that this is a tacit taboo topic, this is a thankless task, it can be said that there are no successful examples, how is the 23-year-old Hu Yifei going to shoot? What is he going to shoot? Will it be another high school girl's version of The Hangover?
The Chicago Tribune's editorial commented, "It may seem surprising, but honestly, I expected it." This young director from the East has been challenging differently since his first work. IQ not to mention, with his current age, he has a calmness and film directing ability far beyond his age, and he is still an ambitious young man. The span from "The Hangover" to "Inception" just illustrates his pursuit of feature films. ”
Actually filmed a high school student's early pregnancy?
really surprised many people, the previous Chinese director Ang Lee won the Oscar for Best Director after filming a gay film. The latter Hu Yifei challenged the taboo topic again, did he also want to use the taboo topic to make an impact on the Oscars?
But can Hu Yifei shoot well?
The theme of teenage pregnancy has not been filmed in Hollywood before, and Twentieth Century Fox has previously launched a "Sweetheart", but unfortunately the box office is poor. Judging by the box office results alone, it has undoubtedly failed. However, the movie got a good review, that is because it does not say too much about pregnancy, let alone the point of view of abortion, its story focuses on the heroine Novali is strong, kind, and knows how to find beauty, and pregnancy is just the beginning. A single little mom with a child, going in search of the nearest love and happiness...... This is the story of "Sweetheart Iren".
So will it be the same with Juno? If you shoot like this, I'm afraid there is nothing magical.
Some people also discussed: teenage pregnancy is a very serious topic, so will it be a serious didactic movie? Tell us to have sex with a condom? Or should high school students not have sex?
Or teach people how to have an abortion? Oh my god, that's absolutely insane, resolutely against abortion!
If Hu Yifei does this, he will be finished, and don't think about mixing in the United States in the future.
So, will "Juno" be made as netizens speculated, and will it be a high-level movie?
This time, the media did not make predictions, only expressed some expectations, and hinted that "this subject is difficult". Fans on the Internet can talk freely, and they are all excited and looking forward to "Juno". At least since "Inception", the expectations of Hu Yifei's works have been high.
While fans are looking forward to it, they are also more worried that Hu Yifei's new film will be bleak, which will make the myth of "Inception" an empty one, which is absolutely unbearable.
In the evening, this rustic town appears more tranquil, with tree-lined lanes.
Baby and Andrew walk side by side on a path covered with golden leaves, and the camera is controlled by Valeflast to record this beautiful scenery.
After a month of filming, the time came to the beginning of November, and "Juno" was about to be completed before it knew it.
When Andrew held his guitar and played the "baby" song in front of the brand-new cradle, the baby man almost laughed and quickly covered his mouth. She always remembered what Hu Yifei looked like when she sang this song, but unfortunately outsiders didn't know that along with this baby song, there was also a "pig song" that had become popular all over the country.
“cut!”
Hu Yifei shouted the word again, and said after a while: "It's over!" It's done! There was a sudden noisy cheer in the crew, Hu Yifei smiled slightly, he can now calmly accept every finale scene.
When others are carnival and hugging, they also calmly save the materials.
"Phineas~~"
Baby ran over, looking at Hu Yifei fixedly with a pair of big eyes, "It's finally over." ”
Hu Yifei teased: "Thank you for your hard work." Look at you, you've lost weight, your already small breasts, and this thinness is back to before liberation, but it's a pity that my efforts for so long have had no effect. Go back, don't tell Li Huizhao that Fei Ge bullied you. ”
Baby's eyes were red, and he suddenly hugged Hu Yifei excitedly. Hu Yifei was slightly stunned and gently patted her shoulder to ease her emotions.
The little girl is under a lot of pressure, and it is the first time for her to pick up the main beam and film. Only a few people know about the efforts that have been made. That's the way it is in Hollywood, the process is not important, the result is important. (To be continued.) )
