Chapter 374: Charm (1st Update)
[Thank you for the 588 reward of 'Rape Saint Qin Hui'! ] 】
Pregnant teenagers naturally have no idea at all, but no matter how regret is gone, it is useless. The question now is what to do with the child in Juno's womb in a place like the United States, where abortion is prohibited by law.
Juno, who was unexpectedly pregnant, discussed with her friend Kelly and wanted to have an abortion at first, and it was obviously unreliable for her to finalize it with Brick for life. But after some psychological changes, she decided to give birth to the child and began to look for adoptive parents for the child. Juno told her father and stepmother about her pregnancy, and they didn't blame Juno too much, but still gave her warm support and prepared for the arrival of the child.
After much deliberation and deliberation, Juno finally settled on a wealthy couple, Mark and Vinesa. However, things did not go as smoothly as expected. How should Juno deal with the bitter consequences of this youthful impulse and ignorance?
……
This is probably the story of the original "Juno", but Hu Yifei does not plan to just follow the script.
If it had been before the "pregnancy incident", he would not have had any special feelings about the story; But now, he doesn't really like the whole story. Filmed like this, the heroine in the movie is everything, and the male protagonist will become synonymous with wreckage.
Hu Yifei also doesn't think that Juno's refusal to have an abortion, giving birth to the child, and giving it to the adoptive parents is a kind of redemption and a good result. He is now going to be a father, although he is still a little caught off guard, but he also feels a lot.
Giving a child to someone else?
Or a divorced single mom?
Although you can use excuses such as "I'm still young", "I don't have the ability to take care of me", "You are an adult, you can come", etc., it is still an act of mischaracter.
This is a movie, so don't think about whether it is raised in reality. Because that's not cool enough, it's an escape. As soon as the child is sent, the whole person is finished. It will never work in China, even if the mother is young, she will not give up the meat that fell from her pregnancy in October so easily.
If you don't even like the movie you make, how can the audience feel refreshed.
……
Hu Yifei decided to make this movie at the beginning, but it was only a temporary idea, wanting the baby to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood. He won't think about winning the award in the first place, and there will be opportunities in the future, but now he has to try to please as many audiences as possible to seek the box office.
What kind of movie has a box office, Hu Yifei is not very clear. But he knows that no matter how close you shoot an abusive drama, it doesn't have more box office potential than a cool drama.
Juno and Brick decided to take on a real responsibility and raise their children together, no matter what the odds and hardships lay ahead.
The actor of the original movie did not take on the role, it was purely redundant, and now it naturally needs to be changed. "You have to take responsibility for your own results, and you can't shirk your responsibility."
In his script, the story is much fuller, with an additional line of the male protagonist.
He will photograph the change in mentality of these two young people, Juno went from wanting to have an abortion, to having a baby, to looking for adoptive parents, and decided to raise them by himself after an accident; Brick went from being irresponsible at the beginning, to slowly introspecting, and then to wanting to be responsible. He began to use his talents to break the conformity of school and become strong.
Spoke for his girlfriend, used his spare time to work, and finally earned a sum of money with his musical talent to buy a luxurious bassinet for his children. Shared responsibility for raising the little ones.
When I was a child learning Chinese and doing reading comprehension exercises, the teacher would always ask me to analyze what the main idea of the passage was. Maybe the author of this article doesn't know what his central idea is, but the teacher still asks the students to analyze it. In the past, Hu Yifei also thought that such a rigid Chinese teaching was useless, but now as a film director, he must recognize what his film wants to express.
He is no longer the nobody he was at the beginning, if he is too naïve, he will not look good when he is criticized by the media.
If the original central idea of the film "Juno" was "respect for life, tolerance and understanding of family", then the current script wants to explore more about the issue of responsibility, "In the face of sudden changes, in the face of different views of the people around them, teenagers change their mentality along the way, and finally have the courage and courage to take responsibility." ”
- That's the movie he wanted to make.
So in order to highlight this theme, the content of the movie will add more campus plots and life plots, and it is no longer important to cut down on the interaction between Juno and the adoptive couple.
The plot of campus and life, in fact, has a lot to dig into. What would it be like for a girl to go to school with a big belly? I believe that American audiences will also want to watch this kind of plot.
The original Juno did a simple, even evasive, approach to this; But Hu Yifei just wants to write about this, he wants to strengthen the difficulties and strange things that Juno has suffered, of course, she will face it with a very optimistic attitude, and she will also show it in a sunny and interesting way when shooting.
Hu Yifei will also strengthen the role of the actor Brick, pregnancy is a matter of both men and women, Brick can no longer be like a wooden man, he wants to become a man. At the critical moment, give Juno strong help, this is the plot and routine that youth movies should have.
Of course, the focus of the story is still Juno, and the film needs Juno's charm, a sharp-tongued, quirky, and endearing Chinese girl. Because only under the influence of her charm, the serious and heavy theme of "teenage pregnancy" will have a sunny, relaxed feeling, and youthful atmosphere. Therefore, the performance of the heroine of "Juno" is very important and the key to success or failure.
If Baby is a previous acting act, it is naturally lacking. Fortunately, she is still young and very malleable. just finished filming "Inception", which suddenly expanded her horizons. has been studying with a real pregnant woman for so long, if Hu Yifei carefully adjusts it, he should be able to take on a heavy responsibility.
In addition, Juno and Jinx's personalities are similar, which will be much easier for the baby.
Brick character, he found the baby-faced "The Amazing Spider-Man" Andrew Garfield. In fact, this guy is one year older than Hu Yifei, but the others graduated from the Central School of Speech and Drama of the University of London with a bachelor's degree in acting. Last year, he starred in the first work in his life "Crazy Hormones", which can be regarded as officially entering the entertainment industry.
Although the role of the male protagonist has been increased in the script, I believe that this high-achieving student can also be competent.
Of course, routine auditions are indispensable.
The crew auditioned for Juno's girlfriend role, and the news was released in the actors' union, and the interviewers gathered that day.
Hu Yifei found a sweet-looking Canadian girl from many actors. Born in 1989 in the same year as baby, he was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, and later became a Canadian citizen, and was also a former Canadian Olympic gymnast. He also debuted as a model, actor, and amateur singer at a very young age. (To be continued.) )
