There is a reason why this situation occurs, and the lack of attention due to low investment is the main reason, after all, in the past two years, because of Sean, Reincarnation Pictures has invested in or participated in the production of films such as "National Treasure", "National Rivals", "Wedding Proud", etc., and now it is involved in the production of "Transformers", so it is natural to pay too much attention to the production of "Juno", which has an investment of only 10 million.

The lack of suitable actors is the second reason, other actors are easy to say, but the heroine Juno is difficult to find. Hollywood is not without actresses of that age, but there are very few who want to perform that kind of charm, the kind of people who have their own opinions at a young age, and have independent personalities but have adolescent characteristics.

Sean originally wanted Haydn to try, although she is now participating in the filming of "Super Heroes", but she can still spare time, but after thinking about it, forget it. She is more than cute, but not independent enough, otherwise she would not have rushed into Sean's arms and relied on him while trying to get rid of the shackles from the family.

Although there is Camila's instigation, her own personality is also very problematic, even if there is no Camila and Sean, she may find a man much older than herself to date in the future.

The topic returns to the actors, if you are looking for an actress of the same age, then the acting skills must be high enough, which is not generally high. If you want to find an actress with good acting skills, you have to find a baby-faced, which means that at least she looks like a high school student.

This story basically revolves around a female high school student who is unexpectedly pregnant, and with humanistic care, so at least the actress can't leave the audience with the impression of "where does this look like a high school student" as soon as she appears on the scene, this is not one of those campus comedies after all, as long as the plot attracts the audience, and even what you want is that contrast effect.

So several people in charge are very embarrassed, if it weren't for these two reasons, this script that was blacklisted in 05 would have been filmed a long time ago.

The so-called blacklist refers to a list of movies that are worth shooting made up by a producer and friends who have a good reputation in Hollywood. The list was initially circulated online, but as several of them were filmed or won at the box office, the list grew famous, and the producer and his friends regularized the list.

Sean had heard of the name of the blacklist in his previous life, and the translation was very simple, it was Blacklist, so he recalled it quickly after knowing it. He originally wanted to take down the other scripts on the list that had an impression or felt good intuition, but unfortunately after learning about it, he realized that these selected scripts were more or less already owned.

Well, that is, the blacklist is actually used to hype up fame, maybe it was just an unintentional work at first, and later, after gaining fame, it became a deliberate act. Moreover, even if there are many scripts on the blacklist that may fail after being made, it is enough to have five or six major successes, and people generally only remember the successful works and forget more about the failures.

But in any case, the script blacklist is a very interesting list, so after the casting ran into trouble, Sean also got involved.

Now that the trouble is gone, Sean is exchanging opinions with several responsible persons, and through them and the original author Diablo? Coty communicated and finally found a suitable candidate, a girl from Canada.

Is this called Alan? Peggy's Canadian girl is a year younger than Camilla, but her acting skills are much higher, not to mention that although the "Hard Candy" released last year is a niche movie, her performance in it has been unanimously praised.

She plays a 14-year-old girl whose friend was killed after meeting a man she met on the Internet, who was a pedophile, so she used herself as bait to find the murderer in the Internet, stunned the other party and humiliated him by pretending to castrate, and finally got the evidence of his crime and punished him.

Allen brought the girl who seemed confused but not generally mature to life, and the baby face was difficult to see the age, which was very much in line with Juno's image, and could even be said to be tailor-made.

And the other party was also very interested in reading the script, and the salary was cheap, so the problem that had been bothered for a long time was solved.

"This is what to say, no matter how big the difficulty is, there will be a time to solve it." Sean said this to his personal assistant after this matter was confirmed.

Emma smiled but didn't speak, but Sean guessed that she must have rolled her eyes in her heart. This is an inevitable thing, no matter how much you worship someone, as long as you have been by his side for a long time, you can see every bit in your eyes, and after finding that he is an ordinary person like yourself, the awe in your heart will naturally disappear.

Especially Sean has never put up a fight in front of Emma, even if he calls her at work, it's not a long time now, she will still treat it with a smile, and if she hears this kind of words in a few months, it is estimated that she will give him the same direct eyes as Galen.

Well, the problem of casting is not only in "Juno", but also in the "Gossip Girl" TV series that is about to start filming. It's just that "Juno" couldn't start because it really couldn't find a suitable actor, but "Gossip Girl" slowed down the casting work because there was no suitable TV station.

As strange as it may sound, Samsara Pictures has already produced several TV series with pretty good ratings, and there are still TV stations that refuse to show their TV series. But that's the way it is, it's simple, each station has its own positioning, for example, CBS, which is now the main crime drama, while fox is the draft leader, and ABC has a tendency to develop into women's friends after "Desperate Housewives".

If it exceeds its own positioning, it's okay to say just a little, but too much may be counterproductive. And youth idol dramas like "Gossip Girl" have never had high ratings, such as "Orange County Boy" or "Superman Prequel" - there is no doubt that "Superman Prequel" is indeed an idol drama genre. Even Samsara Pictures' "Crush Detective" for UPN has seen its ratings plummet after a decent first season.

And "Gossip Girl" does not rely on advertising profits, or not on advertising profits brought by ratings, Sean has recalled some things after Ji Lu took over the copyright of the book, and these things have also been handed over to professionals for argumentation. Therefore, it is unlikely that the four major TV stations will broadcast this TV series, and the only ones who are willing to broadcast it will be UPN or WB, that is, CBS and Warner's small stations.

Here is the problem again, the situation of UPN and WB is not very good, as I said before, because of the problem of insufficient coverage, some places are wireless stations, some places are wired stations, it sounds like it takes care of both, but in fact, it can't compete with the big four on wireless stations, and it can't compete with professional HBO on wired stations. UPN is a little better, in the past two years, with the support of reincarnation pictures' "American Supermodel Competition", "Crush School Detective" and other fairly good programs, it barely managed to break even, but WB has been losing money year after year.

It's hard to say what the outcome would have been if "Gossip Girl" had been handed over to them, and such a deal should have been avoided, so the TV series that was supposed to be on the agenda slowed down. However, now there is news that UPN and WB are not willing to sit still, so they are planning a merger, and Sean has determined through Vladimir that Viacom is also interested in working with Time Warner to build another PR TV network.

After the merger of the two TV stations, they will make up for each other's shortcomings, and they should be able to expand the TV network to the whole country, although it is definitely not enough compared to the Big Four, but at least it will not be as embarrassing as it is now.

To be honest, Sean would love to get involved, having been in Hollywood for so many years, he knows the importance of owning the media, even if the merged TV station is not as good as the four major TV stations, at least it is a media with good influence. And he is not without money now, and when he was asked to quit Google's board of directors before, his people still fought for some interests, at least the diluted equity was relatively small.

Sean doesn't expect to get much out of it, so the little benefit he gets from Google should be enough, as long as he can get between Viacom and Time Warner when the time comes. Unfortunately, when he asked Vladimir about it, the latter unceremoniously dismissed him.

"If it's just Viacom and Warner, then after the merger is successful, they each have a 50% stake, and neither can ride on the other's head, so they can naturally cooperate well, but if there is a third party......" Speaking of this, Vladimir spread his hands and did not continue.

This means obviously, if there is a third shareholder, there is no way to reach a balance, and if there is any operational conflict, as long as a third party is co-opted, the other party can be overwhelmed, and then it is likely to fall into the vortex of power struggle.

Well, Sean admits that he was thinking too well about it, patronizing the idea of going right and back with Viacom and Time Warner, without thinking about whether they would like it. However, he did not give up, and the way of each holding 50% of the shares is very balanced, but once there is a contradiction that cannot be compromised, the final result will only be to give up, which takes into account the overall situation, but it is easy to let the opportunity slip away from hand.

So he still paid attention to Vladimir, and then asked the investment company to think of a way, anyway, he did his best to obey the fate of God, it would be better if he could intervene, it didn't matter if he couldn't, some of the things he was holding in his hands would also start to exert force.

Back to the topic, if the merger of UPN and WB goes well, then it is okay for "Gossip Girl" to be released on a new TV station, if it doesn't go well...... But there's no hurry, there's still time anyway, just make the first episode before the trade fair in May. So although the casting was suspended, it did not completely stop, which is at least better than "Twilight", Sean spent a lot of effort on the film rights of this novel, but there is no intention of preparing until now.
