Chapter 125 It’s you!

With Jessica's company, Wang Yang returned to Chinatown in San Francisco for a few days, went on vacation to Malibu, went out to sea to fish, and rested for a week. He ended his release holiday and officially returned to work. He now has three film and television production plans, "Sweetheart" produced by the supervisor, "Prison Break" and "Secretary Ninth District" edited by the director, but many of them are good, and things have to be done one by one, and he decided to finish the preliminary work of "Sweetheart".

Because he had already written all the scripts of "Sweetheart" as early as March 21, he had already written all the scripts of "Sweetheart". This is a sunny and youthful and enthusiastic street dance movie, so he naturally needs a sunny mentality to shoot; while "The Ninth District" is so depressing that it makes people crazy, so he has to finish these sunny things and devote himself to the work of "The Ninth District", including writing scripts, forming crews, etc.

As for "Prison Break", the "family TV Entertainment" department of Fire Film has established projects for it and hired producers to prepare and produce them. There may be more than a dozen producers of a TV series; there will be at least 5 or 6 movies, including "Singing and Dance Youth", "When Happiness Comes Knocks", "Juno" and other films. Each producer performs his or her own duties and completes different tasks; otherwise a person will not be able to take everything into consideration. Whether or not he or she has energy is one thing, and whether or not he or she is the big question.

The producer Wang Yang is not the most important one in "Sweetheart", but he does the most important work, not to attract investment, because the investor is him; but to build the crew of the movie, but not all. His task is to first determine the director candidate, and then work with the director to determine the leading actor, and his preliminary work will be completed.

As for the important positions of photographers, art directors, and set designers; and the financial management of the crew, equipment and venues, he will not interfere with them, as the director and other producers will handle them.

Who will serve as the director of "Sweetheart"? He must understand street dance, know coolness, conform to the youthful and sunny director style, have enough storytelling ability, and have enthusiasm... After thinking about many candidates carefully, Wang Yang finally stopped his eyes on Anne Fletcher's name. The 35-year-old Anne Fletcher is the dance director of the trilogy of "Titanic", "Beautiful Girls Cheerleaders", and "Singing and Dance Youth".

The director of the future street dance film "Dance of My Life" is her. She undoubtedly has a very high choreography level. Compared to herself, Anne is more capable of integrating various street dance, ballet, opera dance and other elements together; cool, sunshine, youth and other styles. She has not picked up the director's microphone once, and the style has not been formed, so she can slowly agree on it; the ability to tell stories seems to be a little lacking, which is a shortcoming of "Dance of My Life" and the plot is relatively dull and thin.

Although the focus of the dance film is on dance, without fascinating plot links, wonderful dances will become meaningless piles. However, the plot problem of "Dance Out of My Life" lies first in the script, and second in the post-editing shot links; he wanted to have his producer, who knows all the song and dance movies and youth movies in the next ten years, to help Anne avoid this problem as much as possible.

Furthermore, "Dance from My Life" itself is already very successful. "Sweetheart", which has a script that combines the essence of youth films in the next ten years, is the first street dance movie in the new century, and the chance of success can be said to be very great.

Another point is that he is the producer and will give his own opinions throughout the film creation. You should know that the director is annoyed by others' fingers. He doesn't want to quarrel or even fight with anyone, such as Sarah Sugarman; then the first time directing, Anne Fletcher, a Taurus woman with a gentle and friendly personality, is the most suitable candidate, but she needs to be willing to take the microphone.

In the back garden where the air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, Wang Yang sat on a wooden chair, threw out the tennis ball in his hand, Danny, who was stretching his big tongue, ran away wildly, and smiled at his phone: "Hello, Annie!"

This Anne Darren or Anne Hathaway, it was Anne Fletcher, and her cheerful voice came from her phone: "Hi, magical Young! How could he call me?" She laughed and said: "Every time you call me is a 'a job'. I guess, this time it's the choreographer of "Sweetheart"? Tell me yes, I don't have a job anymore, ha!"

Wang Yang took the tennis ball from Danny's mouth, threw it out, and said with a smile: "It's not that I disappointed you. But it is indeed a 'a job' and it also has something to do with "Sweetheart". It's not a choreographer. I want to invite you to direct "Sweetheart"."

"Oh! What?" Anne Fletcher seemed to have reacted and blurted out in surprise: "You asked me to direct "Sweetheart"?" Her hand holding her mobile phone suddenly tightened, and her heart was filled with surprises. She was just a dancer. She started out as a dancer and performed, but later gradually became famous. With luck, she became the choreographer of the movie. In addition to the choreography work, she sometimes played a supporting role. She had always longed to become a director and wanted to shoot a *** movie, but she never thought that an opportunity would come suddenly.

"Yes! Anne, I hope you can become the director of "Sweetheart"!" Wang Yang said in his voice very seriously. He knew Anne Fletcher's story. She was like the sweetheart in "Sweetheart Spicy Dance". Although "Sweetheart" is a completely different story, their pursuit of dance will make Anne have enough director enthusiasm. He said: "I wonder if you are interested? I will tell you a rough story first..."

Next, while Wang Yang was playing a ball-climbing game with Danny, he introduced Anne Fletcher to the content of "Sweetheart" and some shooting style information.

Annie listened very seriously, and when he finished speaking, she laughed and said, "The story is very interesting! But should I read the script first? Haha... Shenqiyang, in fact, I really want to be a director. This job makes me so excited! I like, I like this new job!" She said excitedly: "I can also design storyboards this time!"

Wang Yang smiled and made a pre-explanation seriously: "But you know, I will serve as the producer of "Sweetheart", so I may point fingers at you. The shot here is not right, and I need to change it there..." Anne Fletcher over there laughed without saying anything, and said: "It doesn't matter, at least I can point fingers at the actors, right? Ha! To be honest, I won't mind this, if it's for the sake of the movie."

"It won't be much, I mainly care about style, dance is better than me." Wang Yang smiled and stood up, walked towards Danny who was holding the ball over there and didn't return, and said, "Annie, our goal is to create a movie that triggers the trend of street dance! The current starring actors have confirmed two, Jessica plays the sweetheart, and Michael Pitt will play the decadent man Brooke in the team..."

After confirming that Anne Fletcher is the director, Wang Yang quickly began to select and audition the starring candidates. He and Anne Fletcher will serve as interviewers, but he will be the leader.

There are six starring actors in "Sweetheart", namely, the members of the team, and six young people with their own characteristics, to interpret this story about dreams and friendship. Of course, the six people have both important and light roles, and they are all good at posting in Shanghai. What does "starring in the movie " of Fantastic Yang" mean? It is equivalent to success, a new star in Hollywood.

So although "Sweetheart" is not directed by Wang Yang, he is just a screenwriter and producer, there are still countless actors of the right age who are competing for the starring of "Sweetheart". It is enough to have the magical director of the same age.

In addition to the sweetheart and decadent man Brooke, the actor has been confirmed, and the roles with the initial candidates are also the funny and vulgar ballerina Edison. Wang Yang contacted the "loved man" Joseph Gordon Levitt. Joseph was born on February 17, 1981. In Natalie's words, it is "also an Aquarius boy". He has participated in many TV commercials, TV series, and TV movies since he was a child. He is a very famous child star, and now he is studying at Columbia University in New York.

On the phone, Joseph expressed his joy at the invitation to star, and also told Wang Yang about his love for "Juno", claiming to be Wang Yang's "hard fan"; but if he wanted to take on the role of "Edison", he would have to stop studying for a long time and learn ballet, so Joseph said he would think carefully before replying.

As for the other three characters, including a pair of brothers and sisters who are proficient in street dance and do their own things, Hogan and Pandora, they are the kind of cool guys who make young people scream in vocals; there is also a little cowardly and weird girl Karen, who represents the stage opera style. All three characters have to be auditioned on a small scale, that is, selecting among the several scheduled actors.

When designing the role of Karen, Wang Yang felt that Anne Darren was very suitable for starring. Even when he looked at "Karren" in the script, he looked like Anne. But he was not sure whether Anne's acting skills would be cope with, so Anne had a role in Karen and Pandora's audition days.

In Santa Monica, in the audition room of the Flame Film Company, Wang Yang and Anne Fletcher sat on the interviewer's chair. Anne Darren, with long blonde hair, stood in front of the interview table, holding a resume and photo collection in his hand. Wang Yang took it and put it aside, patted it, and smiled and said, "I have seen it three times, so don't need to read it anymore. But Anne, why do you have to be the first one?"

"There is always the first one." Annie smiled slightly, feeling a little nervous, as if she was back to the audition for "Ghost Record" three years ago. Because she was invited to participate this time, the young director also said that she was "very suitable for" the role of Karen, and this is a big supporting role, with many lines and shots, the kind of main actors that can be featured in the Shanghai newspaper!

She has been in Los Angeles for 5 years. She has been full of confidence, despair, almost committed suicide, and continued to work hard... In the past 5 years, her biggest movie role has only about a dozen dialogues. Her dream seems to be getting farther and farther away from her. How great it would be if she could get Karen...!

"Okay, start the audition." Wang Yang was about to give a performance question, but when he saw Annie taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Annie, are you nervous?"

Anne waved her hand with a smile, but her heart was beating faster and faster. She had to nod apologetically and said, "Sorry! Young, Ms. Fletcher, I'm a little nervous, but it's okay." She took a few breaths and smiled, "It's okay."

"Oh, Anne, just call her Anne!" Wang Yang shrugged and looked at Anne Fletcher next to him. The two blonde Anne smiled immediately. Anne Fletcher looked at the girl of the same name in front of him and comforted him with a smile: "Anime girl, relax! You won't be as nervous as me. It's my first time as a director and audition for someone; and you have experienced many battles, just use your understanding of the role."

Seeing Annie feeling much more relaxed, Wang Yang couldn't help but sigh in secret that it was still a woman who would comfort people! He smiled and said, "An, you know what kind of role Karen is. She is a little cowardly, but she is a girl who is brave enough to pursue herself..." After explaining a few words, he said, "Then start the performance, hey, Karen, are you interested in joining my team?"

"Your team?" Annie frowned slightly, with a strange look of excitement and alertness on her face, and said tentatively: "What team? Really?" She seemed to want to protect herself with both hands, and asked again: "Are you talking about the team participating in the competition?"

Wang Yang had a faint expression on his face, but he felt relieved and made a tick! Compared to three years ago, Anni's acting skills have improved several times. In addition, the role of Karen is allowed to be in a stage play style, which made her relax and act, and the effect was very good. It seems that he would not tell Annie that the fourth time "I'm sorry".

Next, Anne performed several more topics. After she completely relaxed, she became better and better. A girl who brought opera into life slightly, which made Wang Yang and Anne Fletcher nod.

"Well, that's all." Wang Yang smiled happily, looked at Fletcher, and looked at Anne, who had recovered from nervousness in the field. She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes kept blinking. He laughed softly, "Anne, it's you!"

"Oh, God!" Anne's face was flushed with excitement, but her fists were still clenched, her eyes blinking wildly, as if she had forgotten how to react... She got Karen? She got the main characters in a movie! Looking at Wang Yang and Fletcher smiling in front, Anne covered her mouth with her hands and kept saying tremblingly: "Thank you! Thank you, thank you..."

I can't cry, I should laugh now... Annie pressed her nose, and finally couldn't help it. Tears surged out of her eyes, and the angry voice vaguely sounded in her ears: "Go, go! You will die in Hollywood! There are the corpses of people like you!" That night, the wind on the rooftop was very big, huh huh... She was not dead! She could tell her parents that I did it! You can paste the movie poster with your daughter printed on the wall of the room and be proud of her!

"Thank you." Annie wiped her tears and laughed and cried intermittently: "Thank you! Thank you, thank you Young, thank you Annie! Thank you..."

Anne Fletcher smiled empathically, and Wang Yang also had a happy smile on his face. He gave Anne a thumbs up to cry with joy and shouted, "Anne, well done!" Anne smiled and showed her teeth. The ordinary freckles on her nose suddenly looked so beautiful.

After confirming Karen's candidate in the morning, the two of them started audition for cool girl Pandora in the afternoon. After interviewing four girls, a blond girl walked in and saw that she was about 160cm, and her youthful beautiful face had a cold look. Wang Yang immediately noticed that this girl's temperament is very suitable, of course, those who can audition are suitable. She should be... Scarlett-Johnson?

"Hello, Miracle Young, Annie!" The blonde girl smiled and introduced herself generously, "I am Scarlett Johnson, this is my information or something." As she said that, she handed over the file in her hand.

"Well, Scarlett, I know you. I have watched your "Horse Whisperer" and it was a great performance." Wang Yang smiled, took her file, and first gave Anne Fletcher a photo collection, and he looked at Scarlett's resume.

Scarlett Johnson was born on November 22, 1984, and has not yet celebrated her 17th birthday. She has started acting since she was a child. She started as a stage play. In 1994, she made her debut on the big screen in "North" and showed her acting talent in "Manny and Ronaldo" in 1996. In 1997, "The Horse Whisperer" filmed in 1997, because Natalie Portman was going to star in the Broadway stage play "Anne's Diary", Scarlett, who is also talented, got the role of the heroine's daughter "Grace McLean", and her performance was once again widely praised.

In the past two years, she has starred in several top movies such as "American Paradise", and is probably seeking to enter the mainstream movies in Hollywood. The only information in his mind shows that Scarlett is not the kind of child star who cannot transform. At least she is in "Iron Man 2", which is super sexy; but this guy is not only sexy, her acting talent can be said to be no less than Natalie. The two had a big show in "Another Pauline's Girl" in 2008.

But those are things that do not exist in the future. Whether she is suitable for "Pandora" now has to be auditioned to find out. Wang Yang closed his resume and smiled and said, "Okay, then start." Scarlett nodded and said, "Okay."

Next, Wang Yang and Anne Fletcher both gave questions to investigate. Whether Scarlett was pretending to be cool or performing scenes, they were all eye-catching. Looking at the outstanding Scarlett, Wang Yang remembered Anne and sighed: "After all, it's a beautiful butterfly." He glanced at the satisfied Anne Fletcher, nodded to Scarlett, "Budd, it's you!"

Scarlett was stunned for a moment, then said with joy, "It's me?" Wang Yang nodded again and said, "Yes!" Scarlett clenched his fists excitedly, and wanted to rush out to share this good news with his mother who was waiting outside. Although this is not her first time acting in a movie; although "Pandora" is only the second female lead, and she also played the heroine of several movies, it is now a movie of Shenqiyang! Shenqiyang! She said happily: "Thank you for this opportunity! I will work hard!"

"Well, welcome to join "Sweetheart"!" Wang Yang stood up and shook her hand, pointed to her long hair, and smiled and said, "By the way, Scarlett, you perm your hair into wavy curls, and then just spread it, it will be much more beautiful." Scarlett, who shook hands with Anne Fletcher, was stunned, and Wang Yang shrugged, "It's just a personal opinion, don't pay attention to me; but I think your look in "Sweetheart" will be like that."

"Okay, OK!" Scarlett nodded happily, asking a little in his heart, is her wave curl good looking?

When the signing intention of Anne Darren and Scarlett Johnson was officially confirmed, Flame Movie announced this news on its official website. Whether it is the unfamiliar Anne Darren or the well-known Scarlett, its popularity has soared. Many movie fans said, "The girl launched by Fantasy Young is just like his movie. When did it disappoint?"

Less than two days later, the Flame Movie announced that an actor joined "Sweetheart". James Franko, born in 1978, will play Scarlett Johansson's brother "Hogan". In less than two days, the crew of "Sweetheart" announced that the last starring actor was officially joined, and he was Joseph Gordon Levitt.

At this point, all the starring casts of "Sweetheart" have been released, including Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johnson, Anne Darren; Michael Pete, James Franko, and Joseph. In other supporting roles, Jessica's younger brother Joshua Alba has been finalized, but this is not something everyone cares about. What excites many movie fans is that it is said that Justin Timberlake will also play a role, and Britney Spears is also likely to make a guest appearance!

"Shenqiyang is full of confidence in the production of "Sweetheart". He said, 'We have many very excellent actors joining, and their acting skills will be interesting.' But director Anne Fletcher is the first time directing, and this movie seems to be suspected of "pleasing your girlfriend". Will Shenqiyang's 20 million investment be successful? Let's wait and see." - "Daily Entertainment".

After solving the job of selecting director and starring actors, Wang Yang discussed and talked with Anne Fletcher many times, discussing the camera style, color style, scene style of the entire movie, etc. His early work was basically over. The next work of "Sweetheart" was that Anne Fletcher wrote a storyboard script, and the starring actors would shape and understand the characters, and at the same time they would start dancing classes such as street dance.

When Annie's storyboard script is written, Wang Yang will revise and organize it with her; the leading actors will learn to dance and enter the shooting stage, and he will check the specific shooting with the crew for a few days; in post-production, he will also participate in the most important editing.
