Founded in 1960, Alveno Heights College is a private women's college affiliated with the Catholic Church.

Despite its age, it is only in its forties, but the architectural style of Florence, Italy, has made it a mecca for many movies, such as "Dear Mother" in 1980, "Nowhere to Hide" in 1987, and "True Lies" in 1994.

In this way, when the production team found out that the movie "Princess Diaries" needed a Mediterranean-style school to act as the Grove High School where the heroine Mia attended school, Jon Landau, who had accompanied James Cameron here as early as 93, contacted the principal of the school again, and with a familiar relationship, won the filming authorization.

Not only that, after learning that more than 20 minutes of movie scenes would be filmed in the school, the principal also rented the school's three long-vacant warehouses to the crew for them to store props and change clothes, so when the crew notified the crew to assemble, Highland College, which has a logistics base and is close to Hollywood, became the only destination.

Of course, even if the principal agrees to the crew coming here to film, it doesn't mean that the crew can walk sideways in the school, after all, in this era where students will be reported if they say 'inside, inside, inside', they can't meet the needs of the bar spirit if they don't say or do it, and if they don't want to be saddled with the black pot of suspected racial discrimination, the best thing to do is not to appear in front of these guys.

In this way, it is inevitable to enter the market at a staggered peak.

As a result, Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning has become a legend witnessed by the crew members.

All right......

Arrived so early, in fact, I came to shoot the heroine Mia stepping on the glow of the sun's school, it was already dawn at five o'clock, and there was a place where the glow was filmed at six o'clock, if you don't prepare in advance, you will only miss everything.

But because I only finished watching the Oscars a few hours ago, I ......

Yawning and looking tired, is the real working state of everyone.

I don't know if it's because I'm too tired and perfunctory, or if the makeup artist's skills are really superb, in short, when Anne Hathaway, who plays the leading role, comes out of the dressing room, the look is really the same as the Mia described in the script, no beauty.

If the dark blue long-sleeved jacket with a plaid skirt has already concealed her advantages, then the black stockings that reached her knees were like a saw, sawing off her long legs.

The color distribution of dark blue, light blue, white, and black made her look as tall as Reese Witherspoon at five feet and eight inches, and after wearing a fluffy wig like a beast, a pair of black glasses that could make people chant, and a pair of thick eyebrows, she was completely wrapped in an ordinary thing that could not be found in the crowd.

This state also made Evelyn Watson, who saw each other for the first time, raise eyebrows.

"This is the actress that the boss has personally chosen?"

"It's too green, isn't it?"

She muttered to producer Jon Landau next to her.

As the spokesperson of Warcraft Film and Television hand-picked by Roland, the production process of "Princess Diaries" naturally does not need to be checked by Evelyn Watson personally, and everyone thinks that the CEO of a film and television company must understand the difference in the production of all projects, in fact, the CEO of a film and television company only needs to be responsible for the financial report to ensure that the company can make steady profits, that is their fundamental work, and the creation of all aspects does not require them to participate in person at all.

Not only that, producers don't have to stay on site all the time, the purpose of their existence is to urge the entire project to be produced on time and according to the requirements of the management.

But the problem is that these common senses can't be applied to the tasks assigned by the boss himself.

So, on the first day of filming, even at four o'clock in the morning, they arrived on time.

After hearing the other party's words, Jon Landau turned his head slightly, glanced at the airborne boss, and then turned his gaze to the filming location, nodded and said, "That's right, she is the actor personally selected by Roland." ”

"What? Isn't it like? ”

"Not really." Evelyn Watson smiled, "I thought the boss only liked the plump ones. ”

"Like Kate Winslet's figure, and Charlize Theron, who was selected in the casting of "X-Men" before, her figure is also very beautiful, and now, this one named Anne Hathaway is simply two extremes compared to them."

“Wow！ Wow！ Wow！ Evelyn Watson's words provoked Jon Landau to exclaim again and again.

However, although the fat man made a surprised noise, there was a happy smile on his unshaven face.

"Evelyn! Roland is your boss! ”

"How dare you belittle the boss and the boss behind the boss's back?"

"I don't think you want to do it!"

The joking rebuke made Evelyn Watson shake her head.

She didn't give a supplementary explanation of her words, but asked back, "Okay, okay, don't act in front of me, okay?" Which guy on the scene didn't think so? ”

"If it weren't for the fact that Boss was about to get married, would you believe that they would immediately treat her like Boss's girlfriend?"

As she spoke, Evelyn Watson raised her right hand and pointed around.

In the area included, there is a mood of pro-(begging) and cutting (good), all of which are shrouded.

This situation made Jon Landau pout.

Even if he didn't give a clear response, the recognition was already on his face.

That's right, although the fundamental purpose of Roland's investment in "The Princess Diaries" is to reach a long-term good cooperative relationship with Disney, find Disney's weaknesses in the process of mutual communication and integration, and then attack it violently.

But the problem is that only he knows this kind of thing in his own heart!

In the eyes of others, his shooting is full of mystery.

It's like ......

Kanaya Zangjiao.

Originally, as a film and television company, the involvement in various themes can actually be called diversification, and there will never be anyone who will die with the boring question of why a film and television company that started with horror films would shoot historical dramas, but all along, Roland's Warcraft Films and Television's films are very casual, or in other words, full of purpose:

Insiders know that the reason why Roland invested in "The Seven Deadly Sins" was because the film director David Fincher wanted to make this work, and he was George Lucas's man, so Roland helped his friend;

They also know that the reason why Roland invested in "Virgin Suicide" was also because he looked at Sofia Coppola's father's face, and when Francis Coppola wanted to intervene, Roland took the initiative to sell the project;

Not only that, everyone still knows that the reason why Roland will carry out the three projects of "Harry Potter", "The Lord of the Rings" and "X-Men" at the same time is all because he wants to buy an award for himself and his wife.

Under this habit of having a purpose first and then investing, Roland suddenly proposed to make a Cinderella-type movie.

As long as it's a person, it's weird.

Because the author is not his friend, the director is not his friend, the producer is not his friend, that ......

What is Roland?

Money?

No kidding.

Film and television dramas are the riskiest gamble in the world!

In the case of being able to make money with financial tools, film and television dramas are actually toys.

But if it is filmed in a bright and bright way, then everyone will not be entangled, because they can understand that Roland wants to advertise his R and K brand through a Cinderella-type movie, but the problem is ......

The leading actor is not only predetermined, but also not a well-known actor!

Forget about the newcomer, but this newcomer is not a relationship between the Jewish gang and the British gang!

Huh!

You can't blame anyone else!

When the members of the group knew that the protagonist of this project without public casting had been scheduled, everyone's faces showed a knowing smile;

When they learned that Anne Hathaway, who exuded youth all over her body, was personally selected by Roland, it came from the understanding of gentlemen and made them smile even more;

And when they learned that Warcraft Film and Television signed a five-year three-to-six-part guaranteed negative contract with Anne Hathaway in one go, these guys, while keeping a distance from her, also gave a spring breeze-like warmth.

For example, when writing the script, screenwriter Gina Wincoles met with Anne Hathaway first, and after learning that the other party was Catholic, except for the two kisses necessary for the plot, she deleted all other meaningless passion scenes of the heroine.

For example, when Mario Iskovich, the executive producer who docked with Anne Hathaway, learned that Anne Hathaway usually has cats, he didn't need to look for the 'excitement' of the stuntman, so he directly signed the other party's cat.

For another example, after the group was established, when they connected with R and K and asked the other party to come over and design crown jewelry according to Anne Hathaway's personal style, when the designer learned that this was a 'display case' specially selected by their boss, they wanted to take the real thing to the scene for comparison, so they immediately copied the notepad they carried with them, and asked the 'model' questions in a friendly manner, and finally, wrote a full ten pages, starting from Anne Hathaway's preferences and ending with the results she wanted to present.

What is this?

Isn't it just that the subordinates are frantically preparing everything after receiving the inspection notice from their superiors?

Although Roland never showed any intentions, and even after the mission, he never met Anne Hathaway, but it didn't matter, because the guy with the stinky feet could give him reading comprehension and go to Mars!

Don't say anything 'there is still a sparkle of weirdness in the eyes', when they come across a movie that can only be understood by swiping it three times on the poster, they can even use the 'entropy increase principle', 'grandfather's paradox', 'Möbius loop traversal', 'single electron universe hypothesis', 'chiral molecules and mirror molecules' to explain the greatness of the movie!

So, when Anne Hathaway's performance couldn't satisfy director Gary Marshall and broke the rules that the first shot had to be turned on over and over again, the director didn't yell at her, but beckoned -

"Annie~" Gary Marshall motioned for her to come over.

"Hi~Director~" This situation made Anne Hathaway a little nervous.

In the process of pushing the scooter all the way to trot, her lips pursed involuntarily.

In this situation, Gary Marshall waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous......

"I'm not nervous, director." Hearing the other party say this, Anne Hathaway was even more nervous.

She even wondered if it was because she was too nervous, so she was too restrained in the shooting.

Otherwise, why did the director call her to his side to come to the scene as soon as he filmed the first one?

Gary Marshall laughed at the stiff quibble, and he understood that if he didn't make it clear, this guy would be able to worry for a day, so he said directly: "Do you know what our first shot was?" ”

'It's over, it's really a mess......

Anne Hathaway secretly screamed in her heart, her body suddenly tensed, and the toes in her shoes instinctively curled up.

After a quick glance at the director, and found that the other party was staring at her like a smiling tiger, her eyes immediately drooped, and she said in a tone of resignation: "The first scene we filmed was the scene when Mia was in school. ”

"While driving the scooter to school, Mia encountered a steep slope because the slope was too big for the electric scooter to go up, so she needed to get down and push the car up."

"yes, that's what we just shot."

Gary Marshall was pleased with her answer, and then went on to ask, "Then do you know how you just acted?" ”

"I ......" Anne Hathaway thought for a moment, feeling that her action just now seemed to be fine, so when she answered the question, her voice was a little confused, "I just ...... It's pushing a scooter...... Come up, ......"

As she spoke, she frowned and glanced back.

It seems to be recalling Fang Cai's actions, but it is more like questioning the director's question.

If it were normal, Gary Marshall was already angry.

But now, he still kept a smile and said, "Yes, you did walk up just now, but didn't you notice that there is something wrong with the way you walked up?" ”

"Isn't that right?" Anne Hathaway thought for a moment and didn't answer.

But the eyes full of intellectual curiosity fell on the director.

The silly white and sweet confusion made Gary Marshall scratch his head, raised his hands slightly, and his eight fingers except his thumb hooked slightly, signaling the other party to give him the electric scooter.

Led by him, the two came to the side of the slope.

Gary Marshall, personally show her through.

"You just walked up along the sideline with the handle."

"There's nothing wrong with this posture, because normal people walk like that."

"But the question is, is Mia in the movie a normal person?"

"It's not."

"Mia in the movie is a lively but shy girl, she can fantasize about her intimate kiss with her crush, and she can blush in front of each other and be speechless, and this contrast happens to be distinguished by someone before and after."

"In front of acquaintances, she is introverted, in front of outsiders, she is cheerful, and now?"

"She didn't meet any acquaintances during this part of her schooling, so you don't need to be so ladylike."

"Not only that, in order to reflect Mia's introversion in front of acquaintances, at this time, you have to be more cheerful and make some cart movements that can distinguish your personality, which can be appropriately exaggerated."

"Like a bear child, do you understand what I mean?"

"Oh......" Anne Hathaway understood, "understood. ”

"Okay, do it again?"

"Good director."

Although the two did not communicate loudly, because of the silence of the audience, the two who were hiding in the distance could still hear it clearly, and such a cordial situation made them very satisfied.

Satisfied with the attitude of the staff.

Satisfied with the attitude of the actors.

The reason why they came here today is because they are worried that some people will rely on the old and sell the old, and some people will be pampered and spoiled.

And now, since nothing happened, the director is kind and the leading actor is modest and studious, then-

It's nothing.

"Alright, I'm leaving." Evelyn Watson smoothed out the folds in her clothes.

"That's it, don't you take a look?" Jon Landau asked.

"No need, just keep an eye on it here, I still have a lot to do." Evelyn Watson sighed, "Warcraft Film and Television only has a few finances except for me, and I have to do everything by myself, and I'm too busy." ”

Jon Landau was also aware of this fact, so he asked curiously, "Then you don't recruit people?" ”

"Recruiting? Not necessarily. Evelyn Watson shook her head, "Because I can't separate the things at hand." ”
