Yes, Daniel is planning to start filming this "Juno", and he himself did not give this script in advance. Daniel doesn't quite remember what caused him to forget this iconic work, he remembers that he still remembered "Juno" three or four years ago, but it just didn't seem to be the right lead at that time - and he didn't think it was appropriate to put out a potentially controversial production at the beginning of DD Pictures.

"Juno" is indeed a film with a feminist leaning, and a sensitive subject like teenage pregnancy needs to be considered in the United States, where conservatives and liberals have long debated abortion laws — because their respective supporters have different interests on the issue. Young voters, women, and minorities -- who support the Democratic Party, and who often have higher abortion rates, support the current bill — that babies up to 24 weeks of gestation can be operated. Correspondingly, conservative Midwestern voters in the United States, which is the dominant area of the Republican Party, want to push the time limit forward by 4 weeks, that is, 20 weeks, on the federal level, and stipulate that fetuses over 20 weeks old are not allowed to have abortions.

The controversy between the two sides is very fierce, and the social opinions are obviously opposed, and both the Republicans and the Democratic Party are relatively cautious.

"Juno" is not clear on the issue of abortion, but on the one hand it seems to inspire respect for the new life - after all, Juno eventually gave birth to the child and chose an adoptive family for him. But on the other hand, Juno's discrimination, confusion and hardship seem to tell young girls that if you get pregnant unexpectedly, you're in big trouble — and that abortion is certainly a more straightforward option.

Anyway, Daniel knows. This script by Coty is a non-descriptive representation of the girl's self-awareness!

Is pregnancy a big deal? Why be so serious? Girls can bear everything, even if this society is so unkind and discriminatory - a girl, whether she becomes pregnant early or not, no matter how she decides. should be recognized and respected by the society, which is why Diablo. Coty's purpose is to live her own life and values.

This script was indeed picked out of the series by Melissa's team, but she was a little hesitant about it - so she handed it to Daniel, the screenwriter Diablo. Coty is a young girl who, after she has awakened to her self-awareness, refuses to be a good card - she is even so radical that she goes to participate in a detachment. Clothing contest, but lost because of "no talent".

Jason. Reitman relaxed from Daniel's description and began to talk about his own understanding of the story.

"She had to buy a few more urine sticks. At least three, think about it, a big, swearing, ignorant girl in front of a drugstore, poured a large bottle of juice into her stomach, and then walked in, and was ridiculed and sarcastic by the salesperson - but Juno would never go against the grain. She will not shed tears, she will definitely sneer at her. And it's very arrogant, but the actor has to perform on more levels, no matter how she performs, but an unprepared girl who is unexpectedly pregnant, she has to be worried and uneasy, which requires a little acting skills. At Juno's age, there may be more than just a little bit of acting...... Perhaps, we can also design another hot girl who is a thief? A rock girl? How to come out of the way, but when she overheard the news of Juno's pregnancy. Be amazed - just like the sanctimonious worldly people......"

Jason began to describe it endlessly, and clear pictures appeared in his mind, and since he saw the script, he began to unconsciously flash in his mind one scene after another, in the drugstore, in the basement, in the alley, in the classroom—there were so many and different faces, some kind, some hateful, some touching, some hateful—but everything was charming.

Daniel listened quietly, comparing it with the "Juno" in his head, and nodded slowly.

"You have strengthened my confidence, Jason, that you will succeed and that DD will support you in all your work." After Daniel sent Jason out of the office, and after the actors and producers were determined, the next casting, framing, set, preparation, and of course a series of document negotiations were already a professional process for DD to operate, and Daniel would not be involved.

With a soft breath, he was always very busy when he came to the DD office.

Seeing Sally come in again, holding her iconic notebook, and later following David, Daniel made a rare complaint, "DD Pictures is running very well when I'm not there, why do I have so many jobs when I come here." ”

"It's like this company is mine."

David looked at Sally, "It's better to show him our usual communication materials, phone calls, and emails, so that he can know why the company can operate normally when he is not at DD Pictures." ”

Sally certainly wouldn't make fun of the boss with her friends.

In fact, Daniel has always dealt with DD's affairs, but sometimes Sally will ask him very succinctly in her daily reports, and sometimes it will be decided by others according to the authority he has granted - this has increased the workload for David, Sally, and even Ferguson, Melissa, Cusa, etc., but freed Daniel himself.

So when he heard him make such a jealous complaint, he became more and more good-tempered, and David, who had gradually forgotten about Brooklyn, couldn't help but stab him a few words.

"Okay," Daniel hurriedly raised his hands in surrender, "who is next?" ”

"Gabridage, Steven, - and me."

"So much, what are they for?" Daniel took a sip of tea, it was a little cold, Jason said it for too long, he thought about it, and still didn't ask Sally to make him a new drink, "Huh? ”

After waiting for a while, no one responded to him, and he turned his head to look at David in confusion.

"David, oh, your eyes are getting bigger...... Uh, why are you keeping your eyes open so wide? I'm just kidding. ”

Daniel quickly remembered—it wasn't that his memory had faded, it was that he had just emptied his mind to ask such ridiculous questions.

Director, screenwriter and producer of When Happiness Knocks on the Door.

He succeeded in convincing Will. Once the Smiths joined and formed the project team, they handed over the job to David, who had to work on his own as the CEO of DD Pictures, nominally the parent company of MGM Pictures, and who had to grow quickly. Although his talent and experience over the years helped him become an excellent studio leader, as DD and MGM continued to grow in size, David's vision, insight, and ability were inadequate. So Daniel is consciously cultivating this friend. Of course, there is another reason, the project has been going relatively well, so there is very little news that can be delivered to Daniel - and Daniel's main energy, in addition to the shooting of the two films "Night at the Museum" and "Unstoppable", needs to be spent on the release of the MGM series, not to mention, he and Raymond have developed a huge development strategy for Plutos, which is the most important - that takes up a lot of his time and attention.

As a result, direct attention to When Happiness Knocks on the Door has become scarce.

In fact, it's not just "Knocking on the Door", "Saw 3" released in November, and "The Hangover 2" next year, and the director of the first part of "Chainsaw" James. Won's new horror film, The Conjuring, and more, are now run by a team of companies led by David, with little direct involvement in Daniel himself. "Unstoppable" is the work he starred in, and as his Olympic film, he attaches more importance to it, but more work is obviously James. Mangold does. Paul. Walker's "Transformers" he also paid more attention to, purely because the success of this film could completely establish a strong position for DD Pictures. On MGM Pictures' side, he intervened very late in "Bad Teacher", and "Youth Musical" had to do a little more, but for example, "Black Swan", and even "007: Casino Royale", he actually cared very little.

Lack of energy is a big problem, and it is impossible for any large studio to rely on the big boss to drive all the projects alone.

This is the trend after DD and MGM.

"It's amazing, you remember." David continued to taunt him.

"Finished shooting?" Daniel looked uncertainly at Sally, who vaguely remembered as if it were so. But finalization is an important juncture for the lead actors, directors and others, but not for the producers - if there is no problem with the budget. Because there are still several versions of editing to come, and a lot of distribution publicity planning and implementation, that's where the busy schedule for producers and distributors begins.

"Yes, Gabriel has cut out a version, and we thought we should talk to you, and you should also see the effect first."

"Have you seen it?"

For Gabriech, the Italian director, it was not DD Pictures who led the choice, but Will Film. Recommended by Smith. Will even did a lot of work to get Gabrich, who barely spoke English, to direct - and DD Pictures also assigned him an additional working translator.

David nodded, "I think it's quite touching, it's good." ”

Daniel remembers that the cast of "When Happiness Knocks" is no different from the original, so he is not too worried about the film changing - from good film to garbage, and David's judgment makes him more reassured.

"Okay, they're coming?"

"Four o'clock." (To be continued.) )
