Although Kenny Ortega persuaded Lin Mingyang himself, the matter did not end there. Although the U.S. Labor Code is not as strict as that in the U.K., there are clear requirements for the management of underage employment. If Lin Mingyang wants to enter the crew for filming, he must obtain the consent of his guardian.

In fact, even if there is no legal provision, it is impossible to bypass Lin Mingyang's parents in this matter. Kenny Ortega visited Lin Qinghai and his wife with full sincerity, and this negotiation, which would have been difficult in Lin Mingyang's eyes, went very smoothly in the end. The two sides reached an agreement in a delicate compromise that he could do whatever he wanted as long as it didn't affect Lin Mingyang's studies.

This premise seems broad, but in order to meet this condition, Kenny Ortega had to move the entire crew to Florida, and the film was filmed at Moss Middle School. The hardware facilities supporting the school fully meet the requirements of filming, and all possible scenes in the script can be found here.

The Moss High School will welcome the crew to the filming, and several directors also believe that the film can bring great publicity to the school. The school's symbolic surname charged the crew $1 for the use of the venue. In return, Kenny Ortega promised to use Moss's original name wherever the name of the school was mentioned in the film.

In this win-win cooperation, Kenny Ortega's role gave Lin Mingyang a new understanding of the director's career positioning, and most directors could not support him to realize all his ideas with the budget he received from the producer.

The director's personal ability determines how much investment he can get, but Hollywood is a minority of demons like James Cameron. In order to get the maximum benefit with limited investment, the director must seriously consider how to allocate the resources at hand, whether to find big-name movie stars to support the scene, or choose money-burning special effects to ensure quality, these are all problems that make directors headaches.

Compared with those blockbusters that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, the filming cost of "Youth Musical" is insignificant, and Disney's executives just regard the film as a musical drama with novel concepts and strange ideas, and even Kenny Ortega did not expect how dazzling the film would be in the end. Of course, these are all later words, at this time, Lin Mingyang was sitting in the dressing room of the crew with a little apprehension, accepting the stylist to apply makeup for him for the first time.

"The first time you face the camera, you need to try to relax yourself!" Because he had a good impression of the boy, the stylist named Tony kindly reminded him.

"I look nervous right now?" Lin Mingyang was somewhat embarrassed to be accidentally broken by someone else, especially when Megan was sitting next to him at this time, and another stylist was helping her with her hair.

Fortunately, Meghan's attention at this time was attracted by the fashion magazine in her hand and she didn't hear the conversation between the two.

"Your mouth is a little unnatural, and your eyes are wandering, these are all signs of inner tension!" Tony explained with a smile.

"All the stylists on the crew are as observant as you?" If Lin Mingyang still had a trace of contempt in his heart before, then Tony's performance has made him completely put away this mentality, a simple stylist can have such a keen observation, it seems that the guy Kenny Ortega found is not simple.

Hearing the praise in Lin Mingyang's words, Tony felt that the boy in front of him was indeed very interesting, which gave him the idea of getting to know each other further. "A good stylist focuses not only on the outside, but also on the inside. A heartfelt smile is far more glamorous than putting a gaudy lip gloss on your lips. If the actors can maintain a good and suitable attitude, our work will become relatively easier and simpler! ”

Lin Mingyang heard that the other party was secretly mentioning that he needed to maintain a natural and peaceful state of mind in the performance, he nodded knowingly, it seems that as long as he has the attitude of everything to zero, everyone around him has something worth learning from.

"What are you talking about?" The conversation between the two finally caught Meghan's attention, and she put down the magazine in her hand and looked over curiously.

"We're talking about how to relieve tension!" Lin Mingyang replied in front of Tony.

"Felix, are you nervous?" Thinking of her performance when she was on camera for the first time, Meghan naturally showed a look of concern on her face.

"A little bit just now, but now it's better!" Lin Mingyang pursed his lips, and after chatting with Tony for a few words, he was indeed not as nervous as he was just now.

"Don't worry, I was so nervous when I first faced the camera that I forgot my lines, you will definitely perform much better than me!" Megan's sweet smile and words of encouragement suddenly made Lin Mingyang regain a lot of confidence.

Although Lin Mingyang also went to the radio station as a special guest once before the crossing, the microphone and the camera are completely different feelings. The first play that the crew will shoot today is the encounter between the male and female protagonists at the New Year's party. At the beginning, the actor trained basketball with the help of his father Lin Mingyang performed very well, his personal skills needless to say, the key is that the Firefox team had photographers on the scene in the previous finals, and he was not stunned by the opposite camera, he completely regarded this as a training, and the effect of the shooting naturally made Kenny Ortega very satisfied.

But this good state of entry went wrong when shooting the second set of shots, which captured the plot of the hero and heroine being selected by the lights at a lively party and asked to sing a song together.

As soon as there were many actors around, Lin Mingyang was a little nervous. At the beginning, his nervousness was a good expression of the feeling of being out of place when the actor who was not good at interacting with people suddenly came to a strange party, but when the two walked on the stage together, Lin Mingyang's nervousness was still not eliminated, holding the microphone to face the camera, he suddenly didn't know what to sing. Although the lyrics were displayed on the electronic screen opposite, his mind was blank!

Lin Mingyang put down the microphone in discouragement and made a very helpless expression at director Kenny Ortega sitting behind the camera. Meghan Fox, who was next to her, patted him on the shoulder, and the director told everyone to rest for a while, and she had to go down to touch up her makeup.

After she left, Kenny Ortega called Lin Mingyang aside, "Felix, what's wrong?" ”

"I don't know, I just can't find that feeling like singing in front of the camera!" Lin Mingyang wanted to hold his head in some pain, but Kenny Ortega stopped him in time.

"You're going to ruin the hairstyle Tony just got for you, we have to cherish the fruits of other people's labor!" Kenny Ortega soothed Lin Mingyang, who was a little restless, "Aren't you singing very well in the studio?" And you were also in place in the previous performance, and you couldn't find the feeling, we can repeat it a few more times, but you have to have confidence in yourself, is that okay? ”

"I'll do my best!" Lin Mingyang nodded hard, he knew that if he wanted to develop further on the road of being an actor, he had to cross this hurdle today. In other words, such difficulties can only be regarded as a beginning, and there are more and more difficult problems waiting for him later, if even this difficulty cannot be overcome, then all future development is empty talk.

Before starting the second shoot, Megan gave him an encouraging smile, and Lin Mingyang let out a long sigh of relief and nodded at Kenny Ortega, signaling that he was ready!

After the clapperboard closes in front of the camera, the director shouts to start. Looking at the lyrics beating on the electronic screen, Lin Mingyang sang the first lyrics hard, and the effect was good. Kenny Ortega, who was sitting in front of the small screen monitoring the shooting results, nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to the assistant director Jack next to him and said, "I found out that this little guy has endless potential at the beginning, and it seems that he has found his form now!" ”

"Your guidance should have been earlier!" Jack smiled, at first he was skeptical that Kenny Ortega would have such a boy who had never been exposed to acting to play the lead role, but now he felt that this concern was completely unnecessary, "So that we can call it a day early!" ”

'If he gets into the groove too early, maybe we'll have to repeat it a few more times. Don't you think that his current state of gradual relaxation just coincides with the mentality of the hero and heroine in the plot from strange to familiar? This kind of performance is the most real! Kenny Ortega was proud of his arrangement, "Jack, you still underestimate that boy, he's the author of the script, and he doesn't need my guidance when it comes to the plot!" ”

This song "starofsomethingnew" was nominally composed by Lin Mingyang himself, and after slowly finding the feeling, his singing began to gradually enter the state, and the cooperation between him and Megan became more tacit, and he has completely integrated himself into the plot.

At first, the surrounding actors were just dancing according to the director's instructions, but slowly, Lin Mingyang's singing voice seemed to have a kind of magic, making their bodies naturally sway to the rhythm, and Kenny Ortega, who was wearing headphones, also shook his head with the music. sang the most exciting part, Lin Mingyang pulled the microphone off the fixed stand, and Megan also held her microphone tightly with both hands, and the affectionate duet between the two pushed the atmosphere of the shooting scene to **.

“cut！” Kenny Ortega's voice rang out just before the end of the day, and everyone came back to their senses from the music-driven atmosphere. Everyone gave warm applause to Lin Mingyang's wonderful singing performance, and Megan was even more excited and gave him a warm hug.

"Felix, you made it! You're the best actor I've ever met! ”

Lin Mingyang, who was also excited, ignored everyone's gaze and hugged Megan and spun around wildly on the stage, "Success is not me, but us!" ”

Kenny Ortega, who saw all this in his eyes, also sighed slightly, and he sniffled vigorously, "It's been a long time since I've seen a scene like this, and I can't help but feel the urge to cry, Jack, bring paper?" ”

Jack handed over a box of tissues with some emotion, to say that the scene is the most talented actor, who can compare to the great director next to him?

(To explain the plot about basketball above, this arrangement is mainly to pave the way for "Youth Musical", but also to allow the protagonist to better integrate into American high school life.) This is a trajectory of the protagonist's growth, first becoming a campus star, and then moving to a broader stage! ）
