The filming of "Youth Musical" is much harder than the first two, because it is a new 3D photography, and the shooting time is only five weeks, and there are a lot of singing and dancing scenes, you can only rehearse once or twice before you have to shoot officially, and try not to make mistakes, every staff member is under a lot of pressure, and the actors have to improvise while shooting, but fortunately, the effect is good, and everyone's hard work has paid off.

Becoming an actor has been Megan's dream since she was a child, so she gave up her education in a regular school and chose to study herself at home, so she did not attend a high school prom, and the filming of "Youth Musicals 3: Graduation Season" just made up for this regret.

Because of the appearance of Lin Mingyang, the "Youth Musical" series appeared in advance, and Meghan Fox's growth trajectory has also changed a lot, and Megan, who has multinational ancestry, has become the heroine of the film because of her unique beautiful appearance. And with the success of the "Youth Musical" series, Megan has become a hot youth idol.

Now that Meghan has become a full-time artist, she can do the job she desires the most. The most important thing is that the "Youth Musical" series of movies has laid a solid foundation for her to enter Hollywood, and she is no longer the Megan Fox who went from being an unknown little model to the screen overnight. With the idol halo of a young and beautiful girl on her head, Megan is realizing her dream step by step.

Because her aunt is Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts also attracted a lot of media attention during the filming of "Youth Musical" 3. Although she was still a little girl who had not grown up in front of Lin Mingyang, when she was interviewed by reporters, she still showed the maturity and sophistication of the Roberts family in the face of the interview.

Emma admits that when she first walked into the crew, she felt a little nervous working with several of the leading actors who had become stars, but their friendly attitude quickly dispelled this mentality, "They all treated me as a little sister and quickly included me in their team, and if they finished filming, they would chat in one of the rooms, and they would call or text me and ask me to come along." She considers it a lifetime of good fortune to be part of the team.

And director Kenny Ortega also has a good evaluation of this little girl, he believes that Emma's addition has injected fresh blood into the whole film.

More than a month of intense filming was fleeting, during which Disney had already launched an overwhelming amount of publicity. Two years ago, "High School Musical" was just a TV movie for kids watching cable TV, but it quickly became a global phenomenon: from Caracas to Colombia it had a cult following; An extremely wide platform: stage shows, concert tours, reality shows, a series of publications (sold 50 million copies in 24 languages); There are plenty of relevant advertisements for everything from breakfast cereals to Bible guides. The super popularity accumulated in the first two episodes of the film and the rising enthusiasm of fans directly pushed Disney to advance the release date of the film to March.

In early February, when the film was just finished, Disney had a small internal test screening, and after watching the film with special glasses, the company's top management gave good reviews, but they invited those veteran film critics, but the next day's newspaper, launched a fierce attack on the first-screen 3D song and dance film.

"Are you sick of this form of entertainment? I know I'm tired of this kind of stuff for a long time, but "Youth Musical" is such a movie, although director Kenny Ortega made the audience wear special eyes, and I admit that the film's excellent 3D effects combined with the hilarious singing and dancing scenes are indeed commendable, but that doesn't change the essence of the film, just like a bad movie like "Beverly Gold Dog", there will always be too many viewers to pay for it. ”

The comments from the New York Observer bordered on invective, while those from the Washington Post were more tactful.

Labeled as an idol star, Disney's 3D song and dance movie, which was created with a lot of money, is as empty as many commercial blockbuster movies, and the lively song and dance scenes and 3D special effects are just the ultimate interpretation of this superficial gorgeousness. It wasn't wise for Disney to bring the film to the screen, because Kenny Ortega was still just a TV movie to watch while sitting on the couch and eating potato chips. But if you liked the first two episodes and you like Felix Lin and Megan Fox, then you can only see the third episode by paying to go to the cinema. ”

...... other creators of "Youth Musical" were not affected by these movie reviews, but at the scene of the release of the new film, Lin Mingyang and Kenny Ortega's faces were a little gloomy. But the reporters in the audience refused to answer any similar questions, and Kenny Ortega, who was in a bad mood, refused to answer any similar questions after making a sharp sarcasm about the comment.

Lin Mingyang was not happy in his heart, but when those unwilling reporters pointed their questions at him, his venting answer suddenly detonated the atmosphere of the audience.

"It's not surprising to me that I can't get very good media reviews from the big screen. The people who commented on the film, all of them were forced to watch the film because of their work. I can imagine that most of them are middle-aged, elderly men with surnames, and a group of old women, who have never watched the first two episodes, and if it weren't for being on the big screen, I'm afraid they would never have watched the third episode. They don't have the slightest hint of youth in them, complaining about the generation gap between themselves and the next generation, and chattering with invisible glasses made up of stale ideas. If it weren't for the free viewing, there would be no such people in the screening room of the film, and they would have sat there with painful faces, wondering when they would be able to go home and wash and sleep...... So can you expect them to say something nice? ”

Just when the other reporters were still stunned by Lin Mingyang's astonishing speech, the special correspondent of the New York Times had already rushed in front of everyone and stood up to ask questions.

"So, you should have high expectations for the success of "Youth Musical" 3, so do you think the film can attract more audiences?"

"I think it's very difficult to expand the audience to people who haven't watched the first two episodes after the film is released, and it has to do with the positioning of the film, and our advantage is that we know who our real audience is. To put it simply, today's youth films can be divided into two types: those that please children and those that please adults. If the audience is older than adolescence, they naturally prefer the latter. However, those alternative youth films that do not have the traditional fairy tale model of "Disney" princes and princesses can generally only appear at a small cost, and even dare not be released on a large scale, because they are appreciated by Chengren because they are different, but they miss the audience that youth films should really take care of: children under the age of 18. ”

Lin Mingyang held the microphone with one hand, and kept making some gestures with the other hand. He has always been emotional, and his current state does not look like answering a reporter's question at all, but more like explaining his understanding of the film. At this moment, he was like an unsheathed sword, and the whole person looked sharp.

"On the contrary, the characteristics and styles of Disney products have endured for many years precisely because they are always applicable to young people. Think about it, when everyone here is in middle school, they also like pure and healthy love stories, like handsome and sunny male protagonists, and like energetic and youthful characters. ”

"Most of the lead actors who sat with me, this film stayed with us for four whole years, and we are finally graduating. But even if we grow up with the protagonists in the film, we are still high school students in the film, whether it is the film or the characters, don't expect us to mature. But it is certain that the original fans of the film should be crazier this time than when they watched TV at home, because in addition to being high, they can also carnival with friends they don't know in the theater, and the singing and dancing scenes they used to like have become grander this time, the colors are more gorgeous, and the sound effects are more shocking, so what's not to be crazy? ”

These words made everyone present see a completely different side from the gentle and humble Lin Mingyang before. Everyone has a strange feeling that Lin Mingyang at this moment seems to be the most real him.

"People who like this film don't care what those bald film critic uncles say, as long as Felix Lin doesn't become a bald uncle and can still sing and dance, they will rush to the cinema with their friends and family, and sit there screaming at him who has become more handsome on the big screen!"

Lin Mingyang ended his speech in a high-pitched tone that bordered on arrogance in the surprised eyes of everyone. There is generally no such thing as applause at the press conference, but when Lin Mingyang put down the microphone, there was still a burst of warm applause from the audience. Because of his arrogant capital, and Hollywood has always preferred actors with a surname.

The term star aura has always been very mysterious, and this kind of thing does not appear in every star. However, at that moment just now, the kind of incomparably strong self-confidence released by Lin Mingyang really made many people feel the existence of this kind of aura on him.

The reporter's questions related to this film, Lin Mingyang answered them in his speech. After the speech, he changed back to the Lin Mingyang that everyone was familiar with before, and this back and forth change made everyone a little trance for a while.

Lin Mingyang's high IQ is well-known among Hollywood stars, and he is also known for his cunning. What he wants to say will tell you very directly, but what he doesn't want to say is that no matter how good the questioning skills are, the reporters don't want to get anything useful from him. The reporters present did not talk about themselves anymore, and the focus of questions naturally shifted to Megan Fox, who was sitting next to Lin Mingyang.

Meghan wore a gray knitted shirt today, black ultra-shorts with black knee-high socks and brown leather boots, which not only showed off her surname legs well, but also not too exposed, and exuded a lazy atmosphere like the sun in early spring in her charming surname.

Because there is no need to worry about the danger of going out, at the press conference, Meghan was the most relaxed of all the female leads, but the cameras of reporters were still firmly focused on her, especially the new tattoo on her arm. With the existence of this eye-catching and curious tattoo, the reporter's initial questions were all off topic without exception.

"This tattoo was there before the filming of "Youth Musical" 3 started, and in order to cooperate with the filming of the film, the makeup artist helped me deal with it, so everyone will not see this tattoo in the film." Meghan raised her hand to show her surname and took a few photos with the reporters in the audience, "But I personally like this tattoo, in fact, I have more than one tattoo on my body." ”

"So you plan to get rid of your role image in the "Youth Musical" series of movies in the future?"

"People always have to grow up, and I hope to be able to challenge some more difficult roles in the future." When answering reporters' questions, Meghan put her long hair on the side of her left shoulder with her hand, and then folded her hands to change to a more comfortable sitting position.

"Of course, I don't deny that this film has left us all with a very memorable experience, I don't know if I can turn it all into the most special memories, what I miss the most will be this special environment, it is such a safe and creative environment that has allowed us to work with peace of mind and grow with this film for the past four years. The most special thing is that in the film, when we sing "We Are Here", there seems to be some kind of magic in the picture, we become a family, and the feeling is magical. I remember both Monica and I crying during the performance, it was an amazing moment for me and I will always remember it! ”

The media is most concerned about the development of the "romance" between Meghan and Lin Mingyang in the film, when asked about this, Meghan said with emotion:

"Felix's scripts have always been great, but this ending is one of my favorites. At the end of the film, the prom did not end according to the old path of the hero and heroine in the traditional movie who were named the king of dances. Thanks to our director, he made the ball a collective show for everyone, while the real ball was 'skipped'. I believe that girls who like the film will be able to get a consensus from this ending: the prom is just a form for people who really love each other, and the most important thing is not what to wear and where it is held, but who you dance with. ”

And the inspiration that boys get from this film is perhaps more important, girls sometimes say that they break up or say no, not necessarily their original intention, but the implication is actually to test whether you are willing to further prove how strong and strong your love is. So as a boy, you can at least learn a little from here, when the woman turns around and wants to give up, what you have to do is not to give up and turn around, but to catch up. A lot of love ends because you give up because you don't know each other, and a lot of love starts because you don't give up. ”
