Chapter 92 Zhu Piao Astronomy announced the release plans for two movies in the second half of the year. The first one is "Memory Fragments". This movie that won the Best Screenwriter Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival will be released on a small scale during the Halloween period. This is expected. From the fact that Flame Movie bought "Memory Fragments" for a record-breaking 8 million, the media and film companies knew that it would definitely be released. Wang Yang regarded the suspense film that made people dizzy as a treasure.

For ordinary movie fans, I have some expectations, not because the director is Christopher Piao Tianyi, there is only one puzzle game that can be played online, and the complete picture is stills of the movie, which also adds a lot of mystery to the movie.

But what really makes the media pay attention, excites movie fans, and warns major film companies is the second plan announced by Flame Movie. Wang Yang will start producing the long-prepared "Juno". He also serves as producer, director and screenwriter. "Juno" will be released during this Christmas holiday! The candidate for the heroine "Juno", Flame Movie has not announced who it is; but Wang Yang revealed some of the story content of "Juno": "This is a drama about a high school girl's pregnancy. Juno is a 16-year-old high school student. When she is pregnant, the story begins."

"The energetic Miracle Yang!" This is the report of the Los Angeles Times: "The third week of "When Happiness Comes Knocking" has just begun. That magical boy is about to shoot the next movie. It is a plan he announced earlier than "When Happiness Comes Knocking" and "Juno". His production speed is surprising, but maybe this is "When Happiness Comes Knocking". After watching "When Happiness Comes Knocking", the topic of whether his mind is hot is not needed for the time being."

"It is worth noting that the Juno plan was announced in July last year. At that time, he auditioned for thousands of girls for Juno's candidates, and finally explained that the filming plan will be postponed due to the heroine's candidates. Now he has obviously found this girl, although we don't know who it is."

Compared to his curiosity about Juno's candidate, both the media and the fans, their eyes were more focused on Wang Yang's "content", a high school girl's pregnancy drama!? Isn't it a romantic campus love story? Isn't it a funny comedy like "American Pi"? It's actually about a girl's pregnancy! Everyone knows that this is a default taboo topic, this is a thankless thing. It can be said that there are no successful examples. How is the 20-year-old Shenqi Yang going to shoot? What is he going to say?

The editor of the Los Angeles Times report commented: "This seems surprising, but to be honest, I had expected this a long time ago. Fantastic Yang's performance in "When Happiness Comes Knocking" proves his over-age directing ability and also shows his pursuit of drama films. He is no longer a 'teenage film' director. From his abandonment of directing "Youth 2" and announcing the plans for "Juno" and "When Happiness Comes Knocking" it can be seen that he has this idea, "I won't shoot ordinary campus stories, if you want to shoot, shoot some difficult," an ambitious young man."

But can Wang Yang be good at filming? The fans of "Zhu Piao Astronomy" can speak freely. They are very excited and expectant about "Juno". The higher the difficulty, the better. This is the only way to be realistic and conform to the style of magical Yang, right?

"Guess what kind of movie "Juno" will be? Girl pregnancy is a very serious topic, so will it be a serious preaching movie? Tell us to use ***? Or should high school students not ***?" This popular post has quite a few replies: "I don't think so, he had a girlfriend in high school. Maybe "Juno" is his high school story, but we can't see him having an illegitimate child, so this is a pro-abortion story." "Man, that's absolutely impossible, unless Miracle Yang is crazy, I'm firmly against abortion! If Miracle Yang agrees, I won't like him anymore!"

This is where the theme of teenage pregnancy is difficult. Seeing "girl pregnancy" makes people think of abortion. Is abortion good? Is it legal? Once you express your own opinions, you will offend half of the people, so this is why it is thankless and why there are no successful similar movies.

In April this year, 20th Century Fox launched a rare film called "Sweetheart" of a girl's pregnancy. It cost 15 million yuan. With the first week of 2,437 theaters, it has only received 18 million yuan in box office results. In terms of box office results, it failed. However, the reviews it received are not bad, because it did not talk too much about pregnancy, nor did it involve abortion. The focus of its story is that the heroine Novalli is strong, kind, and knows how to discover beauty. Pregnancy is just the beginning.

After more than ten minutes of the opening, Novalli gave birth to a child; after more than ten minutes, Novalli raised a child that was over three years old, and then Novalli, who took the child, pursued his love and happiness... This is the story of "Sweetheart". So is the same as "Juno"? If so, why can "Juno" continue to be magical? Wang Yang's fans are looking forward to it, but they are also worried.

Wang Yang did not disclose more information about "Juno", but he would not keep it mysterious to the end. That kind of publicity method is not suitable for campus dramas. The content introduction of "Juno" will be revealed in stages, so that fans can keep their attention to it. Now it is not lacking in attention. If the news of Natalie Portman playing Juno is announced, those gossip tabloids will probably be boiling. He has been busy enough recently and does not want to be disturbed by scandals, so he simply waits for all the actors to find them before they can be announced together.

"Rachel, are you okay?" Wang Yang lay on the sofa, looked at a golden popcorn trophy placed on the coffee table, and asked to his phone: "Do you have a cold better?" Rachel on the other side nodded softly and said: "Thank you, I'm fine, I'm getting better."

Last night was the award time for the 9th MTV Film Awards. The MTV Film Award is an international film award held by the MTV Global Music Network. Unlike the Golden Globes, Oscars, etc., its awards are not decided by the judges, but are entirely generated by ordinary audiences. Therefore, "Singing and Dance" has previously won the nomination for five major awards, including Best Picture, Actor Progress Award (Tom Willing), Actress Progress Award (Jessica Alba), Best Music, Best Scene, etc., and is a popular popular at this year's MTV Film Awards.

Wang Yang, Jessica, Tom Willing, Zachary and others were invited to participate in the recording of the award ceremony, but Rachel, who was also invited, did not attend because she had a severe cold. The MTV Film Awards ended in a joyful and hustle and bustle, and the best film was won by "The Matrix"; "Singing and Dance" only won the Golden Popcorn Trophy for Best Music.

"That's good." Wang Yang smiled slightly, and heard her voice in good spirits, and asked, "By the way, Rachel, I'm going to go to Toronto to film "Juno". Are there any beautiful rural towns?" He thought with his eyes closed and described, "That kind of quiet, the houses are all two-story wooden houses, with trees everywhere, just like the feeling of landscape paintings..."

The reason I chose to shoot in Toronto is not only because of the weather and seasonal style that suits the needs of the movies; more importantly, it saves money. The cash on the account of Flame Film Company is almost zero, which is the current financial situation of the company.

The original CD of "Singing and Dance Youth" sold nearly 7 million sets worldwide, and after selling nearly 12 million sets, it was sold several times after discounts and price reductions. It can no longer be sold. Its huge profits are 100 million to acquire Blue Sky Studio, 30 million production costs, 20 million promotion costs, 60 million total cost "When Happiness Comes Knocks the Door", 8 million to buy "Memory Fragments", and also pay the salary and bonus of the company's employees, and plan to purchase copyrights of some old movies to expand the film library, and also expand the business in North America and overseas, increasing the company's scale, etc. After these work, the money was spent.

Cash is almost zero? This is definitely not a healthy financial situation. If an investment ends in failure, it will be a serious loss at the least, and at the worst, it will be on the road of borrowing. This is not Mark Slunt's idea. He advised Wang Yang many times to accept joint ventures from other companies, such as Lionsgate, which has been seeking cooperation, to reduce risks; but Wang Yang's mouth is "no", so there is no need for this for the time being.

However, it will take some time to receive the film "When Happiness Comes Knocks"; not to mention that it will be released in August, "Youth 2", which is not sure whether it will be successful, so the production cost of "Juno" is only 15 million. In addition to the combined 7.3 million yuan of film pays from Natalie Portman and Michael Pitt, the remaining 7.7 million yuan, on the one hand, you have to pay the crew members such as Vale Fist and other actors' salaries. It is difficult to save money in these places, even if Wang Yang only gave himself a US dollar reward; on the other hand, he also had to pay for filming costs such as equipment, film, crew staff, etc., which can save money in this aspect.

It’s not that Canadian films are particularly cheap, but their venues and extras are much lower. There are also preferential policies for shooting, which can save a lot of taxes on the film. Compared to shooting in the United States, the overall cost can be saved by about 15%-20%. For the current situation of Flame Movies, "Juno" will either postpone the shooting and wait for the theater company to pay the film rent before shooting; or save money on shooting. Shooting in Canada will not affect the quality of the movie, so he chose the latter.

"Oh! There will be a very small but equally beautiful high school." Wang Yang turned over with great enthusiasm and continued: "No need to be as dreamy as Eastern High School. There are no school buses, and the students are riding bicycles to school..."

"No...I don't know." Rachel suddenly interrupted him and said, "I don't know, Yang, I can't understand what you describe. I'm a little dizzy. I have to go to bed."

Wang Yang was stunned, not sure if it was an illusion. He felt that Rachel had suddenly become hostile to him recently, but aren't they okay? Although it won't be like it was a long time ago, occasionally they would have conversations with ordinary friends because of certain things. Now... maybe it's just that she is sick and in a bad mood. At the MTV Movie Awards, she could have danced and sang. He nodded and said, "Okay, then you take good care of yourself. You know, the promotional activity of "Singing and Dance 2" is about to begin, and it won't be possible without you." As he said that, he laughed.

"Well, I can, bye!" Rachel hung up the call as soon as she finished speaking, and a beep sound came from her phone. Wang Yang said "bye", put down her phone, suddenly remembered something, and frowned in surprise: "Why is there no nasal sound?" Rachel's voice was very light, but there was no nasal sound at all. He felt strange because Rachel had a very severe nasal sound last time, which shows that her essence was like this, and now she has a severe cold...

Hey, you are not Sherlock Holmes! You haven’t really been to the class at USC Medical School! Wang Yang shook his head and smiled, reached out to pick up a thick book called "Pregnancy Manual" on the coffee table, and continued to read it before. Not only Natalie Portman wants to understand Juno and set this role; he also needs to understand Juno’s mind, know what she will face during her entire pregnancy and what specific changes will be in the body, so that he can better understand the "girl pregnancy" and the mentality changes that Juno will have, so as to better control the story.

So since the establishment of "Juno" last year, he has bought a lot of books like this, such as "Psychology of Pregnancy", "Pregnancy Encyclopedia", "How to Be a Happy Pregnant Woman"... I have been reading intermittently for nearly a year. He is now simply a "master of pregnancy knowledge". If Jessica suddenly becomes pregnant, he will no longer feel busy. He probably has learned to connect with his students, although it is just a talk on paper.

In the reading plan, there are some popular sciences about slang and jokes. However, many of the original lines are not applicable. There are reasons for the story changes. What is more important is that many words are incomprehensible, just like "honest-to-blog", what is a blog?

When he accidentally played on the blog, he understood what the blog was and understood that the meaning of this sentence was "I dare to say to the blog, this is true." This is a variant of "honest-to-god". People always tell the truth to God. One of the purposes of blogs is to express their own truth, so there is "honest-to-blog". But it obviously cannot be placed in the present, because there are not many people playing blogs at present.

Juno wants to lead the trend and be in the trend. She can't miss it no matter how popular young people talk now. Fortunately, he is called "young", and there is no danger of being outdated for the time being. So how should Juno lead the trend? This is why he reads slang and joke books. He can get more inspiration and ideas from it, and think of more interesting phrases and jokes. He sometimes communicates with Natalie, for example, let her analyze whether a joke is funny from a psychological perspective; Natalie's answer is "From a psychological perspective, this is not funny at all, it is just a trap that makes the body react in a certain way; but from Natalie's perspective, it is funny."

As he went by nearly a year, after the filming and production of "When Happiness Comes Knocking", Wang Yang has many new ideas about "Juno". The thickness of the script has been increasing in the past year, and the lines have also changed. He will shoot all the things he wants to shoot, and in the post-editing editing, he will make those materials into a 120-minute movie.

"The best location, 1. A warm home..." Wang Yang looked at the "Pregnancy Manual" in his hand, and said... He felt moved, and then he was absent-mindedly for a while, then put down the book, picked up his phone and pulled out a number, and said gently: "Hi, sweetheart, good evening, how about coming to my house? I miss you."

Jessica over there smiled happily and said sweetly: "You are more clingy than Danny. We have only seen him in the morning." She was about to say something, but suddenly she understood what he meant and said: "Oh! No, I don't want to do it now." Wang Yang coughed and said: "Don't want anything? Don't get me wrong, I just want to discuss things about pregnancy with you." Jessica smiled: "What makes me pregnant? Yang, no tonight."

Wang Yang couldn't help laughing, thinking that it would be enough to coax her over, and said, "Hey, why do you think of those NC-17 things? I tell you, this is a very serious matter." He thought about it and said, "I want to know that last year, we looked at the test sheet in the car, and then I said, 'It's positive'. You think you are pregnant. What was your thought at that moment?" Without waiting for her to answer, he said, "I still have many questions, so please come here."

"Just say it here." Jessica was still unshakable. Wang Yang rolled his eyes unhappily, smiled again, and said in a bad voice: "If you don't come, then I'll go to your house!" Jessica's laughter came from her phone, and she said: "Well, I'll wait for you to come."

"I'll come now! Bye!" Wang Yang pressed the end call button, and a sensation arose in his heart. He jumped off the sofa, put on slippers and came outside the house, and ran to the direction of Jessica's house at full speed. Under the moonlight, he ran across the tree-lined path and the small fountain... The distance of hundreds of meters seemed to be coming in a blink of an eye. When he saw the big brightly lit house, he smiled slightly gasping. He slowed down to the lawn, walked to the side of the house, and looked towards a bright window on the second floor, which was Jessica's room. He stretched his hands against his mouth and called softly: "Hey, Juliet? It's me, Romeo! Hey, Juliet..."

Suddenly, Danny's barking came from the room, and Jessica appeared by the window. She looked down and looked down, and her face was surprised and funny, saying, "Yang, you are really here!" Wang Yang spread his hands and said, "You saw me!" He looked around and said, "How should I climb into your room? Juliet, do you have a rope or something? Give me one! Hey, I really envy that guy Spider-Man now."

Jessica leaned against the window, smiled and held her chin, looking at him helplessly, and said with a smile: "Did you forget? You don't need ropes and spider silk, fly in directly, Superman!" Wang Yang supported himself and smiled, nodded and said: "You reminded me that I am Superman, but I need a telephone booth and a red ***..."

"Don't move! My gun is aiming at you!" At this time, a serious voice sounded from behind, which was Mark Alba's. He shouted, "If you don't want to eat bullets, raise your hands!" It's so bad... Wang Yang slowly raised his hands and said, "Relax, Mark, it's me, Yang!" Jessica above also looked nervous and shouted hurriedly: "He is Yang! Oh my god, dad, he is Yang!"

"I know it's him." Mark Alba said calmly, and Wang Yang was stunned: "What?" He turned around and saw that Mark was empty and there was no gun. He covered his forehead and laughed: "Mark, are you really Mark?" Jessica leaned over and said helplessly: "Dad, how can you make such a joke! I'm scared to death!"

Mark Albahahahaha, he had long wanted to beat this kid hard. Since he couldn't beat him up, it would be a lesson to scare him now. Mark walked to Wang Yang, patted his shoulder, and pressed his voice and said, "Boy, don't you like to joke very much? Red***?" He looked into Wang Yang's eyes and said, "Don't make trouble on my territory, otherwise even if you are Superman, I will beat you." Wang Yang shrugged and grinned and said, "Okay, you have the final say in your territory."

Falling on Jessica's boudoir bed, Wang Yang let out a sigh, looking at Jessica wearing vests and shorts over there, and said, "I almost became Romeo, Jesse, I only found out that your father has this side today." Jessica wrapped her arms around her chest and smiled, "Do you still want to discuss about pregnancy?" Wang Yang glanced at her slender and sexy thighs a few times, then rolled her eyes and said, "No, although I really want to discuss it, forget it, this is not my territory."

Wang Yang suddenly wondered whether they should live together. Although Catholics are not allowed to live together, there are too many things that Catholics do not allow, like before marriage. However, he has no money to buy a big house now and is going to Toronto to film "Juno" soon. Let's wait until he has money.

"Oh! That's you who abstained from your own right." Jessica smiled and walked to the bedside, bent her body and kissed him on the face. She sat down and picked up a movie magazine on the nightstand and flipped through it casually. Wang Yang closed his eyes and murmured softly: "Okay, audition will start again tomorrow, so have a good rest. Jessie, can I just sleep here?"

Jessica ignored his last words, patted his thighs, and said seriously, "Yang, how about I play the good sister Lea, Juno's good sister? Can I go to the audition?" Wang Yang opened his eyes and looked at her, shook his head and said, "The appearance is OK, but the temperament does not match. You and Lea are completely different types, and you are too eye-catching." If she was the only one who played Leather, it might be okay; but if she got together with Natalie Portman to play the good sister, there would be no chemical reaction in terms of temperament.
Chapter completed!
