After a short rehearsal, filming began in earnest at the end of February 2007.

Since the film's shooting budget was only $10 million, Christine, in order to save her boyfriend's money, suggested that the "Juno" crew abandon the original plan to shoot in Minnesota and shoot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. In order to save budget, many scenes in the movie were shot in Canada and the United States.

After such a toss, Xiahou Zhongying found that he couldn't spend his $10 million to the bottom, and only spent $6.5 million, which made him speechless.

Although Xiahou Zhongying has lived in the United States with his father for three years, his habits and preferences for Americans are inevitably not as good as those of Christine and Jennifer. Native Americans such as Ghana and J.K. Simmons know it, so they are often asked for their opinions and opinions during the filming process.

For example, in the choice of music, he completely accepted Christine's suggestion. Before the filming of the movie started, Xiahou Zhongying asked Christine, "What do you think Juno will like to listen to?" "Kristen recommended Jinya? Dawson's "Moldy Peach" and the song "Ocean of Love" covered by Catwoman Magic, among others.

The entire filming cycle for Juno took only six weeks to complete, with 30 days spent on the main shoot. The reason why it is so fast is because the acting skills and actions of the actors in the movie are very good, and there is almost no situation where a single shot has to be shot repeatedly and non-stop, and many shots are passed at one time. The actor's acting skills are so high that Xiahou Zhongying couldn't imagine before.

For example, when the film is being filmed. Christine completely threw herself into the role, and all other factors were excluded, even Xiahou Zhongying was ignored by her, and she completely lost her usual sticky appearance like a bird.

Another example is Michael? Serra, once in their free time, the two chatted, Xiahou Zhongying asked him what he was doing, and when he was shooting, he could always keep his whole body in a state of high and excited. He said that no matter what he makes, even when he makes a short web comedy that he directs and acts, he imagines it to be a really good work, can achieve very good results, and then makes himself excited.

The small ones are already like this, not to mention the old stars who have proven themselves for many years in Hollywood. Their dedication and work attitude made Xiahou Zhongying have to sigh. The overall quality of Hollywood actors is really too high to say.

Other than that. Through the secret recommendation of Hollywood stars, Xiahou Zhongying recruited the staff of the American branch of ZX Group from various production companies with excellent professional skills and played a great role in the filming process of the movie. It can be said that the film is able to complete the main shot quickly and excellently. They are indebted.

For example, they are based only on the screenwriter Diablo. In a very brief sentence in the script, Coty designed the room decoration that was needed. Even Diablo said she was deeply moved by the way they decorated Juno's bedroom. Because that room reminded her of how she felt when she was a girl. It's like a haven for hers.

Juno's bedroom has posters of bands on the walls, Leah's room has a mural of an old man whom "she" finds attractive, and Paulie's bedroom is designed in a slightly boyish style to reflect her innocence.

The film's art director Steve? Sacrad also designed Vanessa and Mark's house along the lines of "Vanessa's reading a lot of books about family in order to give the impression that they would do their best for their children."

And costume designer Monica? Pradholmer's clothing for Vanessa is based on a "simple and tasteful" approach that maintains quality. and prepared a more conservative costume for Mark as a complement to Vanessa's taste.

The professionalism of these people made the staff who Xiahou Zhongying called from South Korea to help couldn't help but be covered in a cold sweat after seeing it, and they were willing to help them on the side, and by the way, they stole teachers to learn.

In fact, not only did Xiahou Zhongying admire the actors and crew who participated in the filming, but they were also impressed by Xiahou Zhongying's ability. Whether it is in the choice of shots, the control of scenes, the tension of shooting angles, the design of actions, crazy imagination, and the crazy serious work attitude, they all feel that Xiahou Zhongying is already an international quasi-first-class director.

And when others learned from Christine's mouth that Xiahou Zhongying was just studying in a big road goods rapid director class in South Korea for a month, and then he personally went into battle to direct his first movie "Green Apple Paradise", learning while filming during the filming process, and until today he has not undergone formal director training, he is even more speechless, looking at him as if he is looking at a monster.

"Thank you for your support of my work during this time, and for saving me a lot of money, so I decided to treat everyone to a good meal when I return to Los Angeles." On the way back to Los Angeles, Xiahou Zhongying smiled at the crew and actor Ha Luha.

"Zhongying, it doesn't matter if you eat or not, you just take out the money for inviting us to dinner and let us divide it equally." Michael? Sierra laughed.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"I said Michael, are you sure?" Xiahou Zhongying had a strange smile on his face.

Listen to Xiahou Zhongying say this, Michael? Serra hesitated. In the filming process of more than a month, everyone not only felt Xiahou Zhongying's excellent directing ability, but also felt his omnipresent ability to complete the person. Sometimes he makes jokes, and he can make people want to die.

"Let's eat." Under uncertainty, Michael? Serra replied hesitantly.

Everyone laughed again, casting him a very understanding look.

"Alas, it's a pity." Xiahou Zhongying sighed, "I thought I could save a lot of trouble." I'm just going to invite you to my house for dinner, it doesn't cost much, just pay for the groceries, Michael, why don't you insist on it? ”

Everyone laughed again, and then asked excitedly: "Is it the Chinese food that has seduces many big-name celebrities to go to your house to eat?" ”

Although there are many Chinese restaurants in the United States, many of which are very famous, no matter how famous they are, in order to match the taste of Americans, many dishes have changed their tastes. And the chef invited by Xiahou Zhongying only makes authentic Chinese food that meets Xiahou Zhongying's taste, it should be spicy, and it should be sweet, no matter what your American taste.

However, it is precisely because of this that it makes those foreigners who have eaten too much American Chinese food feel particularly fresh, spicy and spicy, so sweet that they are so sweet that they can't eat for three days, but they are still happy to want to eat at Xiahou Mountain Mansion when they have the opportunity.

Seeing Xiahou Zhongying nodding, everyone cheered, and they all said that they had to go to the legendary Xiahou Mountain Mansion to eat a Chinese meal that was rumored to be highly sought after by a big Hollywood star. (To be continued......)
