Chapter 93 What a joke?

"I'm sorry, Annie..." Wang Yang raised his head from behind the camera, looked at Annie Darren standing in the middle of the audition room, shook his head, and said, "You are not suitable for this role."

The supporting role selection work for "Juno" started a few days ago. He stayed in the audition room almost all day every day. However, because Juno's father and stepmother are not very difficult in performances, and there are many actors coming to audition, the work progresses very quickly. He can determine the candidates for the audition on the same day every day. The role audition today is Juno's best friend "Lea".

Anne Darren participated in this audition, and she was the first to come and audition first. The reason why he eliminated Anne was not because of her performance, her performance was OK; but the decision to decide the candidate for this role was not only based on acting skills, but also to consider her and "Juno", that is, compared with Natalie Portman in terms of appearance and temperament, she wanted to get together with Juno, which was a feeling of "bad friends".

Anne's temperament is of a quiet type. The classic image on the screen is a dull and conservative obedient girl, like a library administrator; if she lets her stage play style be revealed, it will have weird and funny effects; Wang Yang thought that if she was more exaggerated but delicate, she could even develop towards the crazy type. But she is not suitable for Leah, at least not suitable for now, and maybe she can do it in the future.

This is because an excellent actor has a changeable temperament. For example, Will Smith, before "When Happiness Comes Knocks", everyone thought he was the most suitable for laughing and hilarious. No one knew that he could still play the kind of middle-aged man with vicissitudes and downs, but he successfully performed Chris Gardner and is now praised as "a strong contender for the best actor next year."

In addition to the design of the shape and careful makeup, the change of temperament requires high-level performance skills. For an actor who is in the infancy of acting skills and understanding of character scripts, it is best to act according to the most suitable temperaments for himself. It is no longer difficult to wait for the "real performance" to slowly challenge other temperaments and make a "screen transformation".

If he wants to pull out the seedlings to help grow, it will not only easily mess up, but it will also affect the effect of the movie. This is also the reason why he rejected Jessica and eliminated Anne.

"Well, director, I understand." Annie over there pursed her lips gently, disappointment and regret flashing in her eyes. She nodded with a smile and said, "I understand, thank you for today's audition."

Wang Yang sighed inwardly. This was the third time he had denied Annie in the audition. Every time she worked so hard. Looking at her pretty face, he said, "Annie, the problem is not your performance. I want you to understand this." Annie listened seriously, Wang Yang shrugged and said, "You know, everyone has a suitable role and an unsuitable role. You just don't suit Leah. You must recognize your temperament and advantages so that you can play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Your temperament is more ladylike..."

After talking for a long time, Wang Yang suddenly remembered that this was an audition. There were still many girls waiting outside. He smiled at Annie and said, "Let's continue on the phone." Annie nodded and said, "Okay, goodbye, then goodbye." Wang Yang nodded, walked back to the interviewer's table and sat down. Annie picked up the handbag on the chair and looked at Wang Yang and Ms. Lucy, the union interviewer. She smiled slightly and said, "By bye!" and walked out of the room.

"Mr. Wang, it seems you know that girl?" Ms. Lucy asked. Wang Yang nodded and smiled: "Well, that's true. When I was looking for the heroine for "The Legend of the Ghosts", she was the first interviewer." Ms. Lucy said in surprise: "That's really interesting."

After interviewing more than a dozen girls in a row, Wang Yang shouted "Next". Soon the wooden door of the audition room was opened. A brown-haired white girl walked in outside the door. She was over 170cm tall, with big eyes, and a tall and long nose... Wang Yang glanced at her. The girl had a very good appearance and temperament. She could be put together with Natalie, and whether she had the feeling of being a "bad friend" depends on her performance. However, he frowned in confusion. The girl looked familiar.

"Hi, Mr. Wang, lady, hello." The brown-haired girl smiled and grinned, showing a bright smile. She walked up to hand her resume, photo collection and other documents to Wang Yang, and said with a smile: "I'm very happy to be here for the audition. My name is Annie..." Because she looked at Wang Yang without paying attention to the chair in the middle, she accidentally tripped on the feet of the chair, and suddenly she lost her balance. She screamed: "Oh! Oh my God..."

Wang Yang and Ms. Lucy were both stunned, and looked at her with a thud and fell to the ground. After reacting, he stood up suddenly. Seeing the girl covering her forehead and falling to the point of being so messy, he couldn't help laughing. Ms. Lucy couldn't help laughing. Wang Yang asked with a smile: "Girl, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine..." The brown-haired girl quickly stood up from the ground with an awkward expression on her face. She cursed herself in her heart. It's so bad. The guy in front was amazing!

Seeing her embarrassed look, Wang Yang spread his hands and smiled, "It's nothing. My girlfriend Jessica often falls, and there are no chairs on the ground. Maybe it's just a pair of slippers that trip her. Who knows what's going on? But I call that one 'cute'." The brown-haired girl smiled thankfully, and said in her heart. Shenqiyang was as considerate as she had imagined before! The girl stepped forward and handed the document to Wang Yang, and smiled, "Thank you, my name is Anne Hathaway."

"Hello, Anne." Wang Yang took her documents and sat down to look at her resume first. Anne Hathaway was born on November 12, 1982. She celebrated her birthday this year and was 18 years old. She is 173cm tall. She is from New Jersey. She first appeared on the screen in the TV series "get-real" last year and was nominated for the "Youth Artist Award" this year.

"get-real"? Wang Yang has no impression that he has watched this TV series. He picked up Hathaway's photo collection and started reading it, saying the name "Anne Hathaway?" Suddenly, several pictures flashed clearly in his mind, and he immediately understood why he felt familiar. Anne Hathaway, Lu Ling in "Brokeback Mountain", the White Queen in "Alice in Wonderland", and the heroine Kemi in "Rachel's Wedding", she was nominated for Best Actress in 2009 for this role.

But obviously she is still an unknown new actor now, and she has to take a look at her current acting skills. After all, "Rachel's Wedding" was in 2008. Even so, Wang Yang couldn't help but murmur: "Brother." Although the message he had in his mind started with "Brokeback Mountain", she was nominated for Best Actress Oscar earlier than Natalie, which shows that she has a high acting ability and her appearance and temperament are very suitable for Leah.

"Okay, start the audition." Wang Yang put down the documents in his hand, got up and walked behind the camera. Hathaway on the other side also stood up from the chair and looked at the camera with a smile. After waiting for the camera on the basic front and side, Wang Yang said: "Give me a few expressions, then I am Juno now, you are facing your best friend, so, surprised." Hathaway stared at her eyes, which made her already big eyes look even more round. Wang Yang said again: "Well, let's have a disdainful expression."

Her expression was neither too calm nor too exaggerated, and her feelings were not conflicted with Natalie's good friend; in the following performance stage, Hathaway proved Wang Yang's idea, and she seemed very at ease to Leah, who was not very difficult. When he said he wanted to have the feeling of "bad friends", her joking eyes and carefree smirk at her good sisters made him very satisfied.

"Well, Annie..." Wang Yang nodded silently, pressed and stopped the camera, and was about to say something, the freckled face suddenly appeared in front of him. Annie... He looked at the brown-haired girl over there and said, "Hathaway, your resume says, are you a vegetarian?" Hathaway nodded and smiled, "Yes," Wang Yang also smiled slightly, and said, "That's good! I also know a vegetarian, maybe you can really become good friends." Hathaway blinked in confusion, and Wang Yang smiled, "She is Juno's actor, so Hathaway, your performance is great, you can play Leah."

"What!?" Hathaway took a breath, took two steps back, and covered her mouth with her hands and said, "Really!? I can play Leah!" Wang Yang nodded and said, "I'm not kidding in this regard." Hathaway let out a surprise, covered her mouth and walked around the room excitedly, saying, "Oh Lord! I can make a movie! I can perform in the movie of Miracle Yang! Oh my God, it's so crazy! Today is my lucky day!"

Ms. Lucy smiled and looked at Wang Yang, and her expression seemed to say "She is your fan". Wang Yang walked over and stretched out his hand to Hathaway, and smiled and said, "Welcome to "Juno"." Hathaway looked at him with excitement and joy. She suddenly spread her hands and hugged him, and said, "Thank you! I will definitely act well, thank you!" Wang Yang was stunned for a moment, and with a stretched hand, he hugged her, and then pushed her away with a smile, saying, "Then I thank you too."

It was confirmed that Anne Hathaway played "Leah", and the work of this day was also over, but it took more than ten days to complete all the auditions. The candidates found were all cheap and very suitable, so there were no big names in the supporting role lineup. If the "future Oscar nominee" was counted as one, it would be a different matter.

During this period, "When Happiness Comes Knocking" also spent its third week. The fourth week of the screening, in the week from June 2nd to 8th, its number of screenings increased by 120, with a total of 3,540. Almost any city is clicked on a North American map, and it is shown in it. This warm and inspirational film did not disappoint the theater company and the cinema owners. Media fans like to call the young man "Miki Yang", and they like to call "Zhe Qian Yang". This week, "When Happiness Comes Knocking" had a total of 39.4852 million box office. Not only did the total box office exceed 100 million, but it once again became the North American weekly box office champion!

The second week of the screening of "Imposses 2", 3,653 theaters received 37.133 million yuan in box office, ranking second; the third place was the newly released funny film "Uncover Fat Mom", which also had a box office of 25.201 million yuan, and the fourth place was "Dinosaur" with 16.81 million yuan.

"When Happiness Comes Knocking" regained the championship throne in the week! Magical Yang laughed to the end!" This is the title of the movie week's box office review. It wrote: "This week's total box office fell by 32.4% compared with last week, and last week's champion "Impossible 2" dropped by 55%; surprisingly, "When Happiness Comes Knocking" only dropped by 17.4%, with sufficient momentum! It also defeated the big guy "Impossible 2" and regained the championship throne. After "Dinosaurs", "When Happiness Comes Knocking" made "Impossible 2" taste the second taste of the 125 million-dollar cost. We cannot know their final box office now, but considering the cost of the movie, the person who laughed to the end is almost certainly Magical Yang."

Seeing this situation, Will Smith's fans were very happy: "What is the worst male lead in Jinling, let's go to hell? What we should look forward to now is to next year's Oscar. Will will get the Little Golden Man?!" "Thanks to Shenqiyang, I apologize for his past slightness. Will did not take on the wrong movie. It's great. "When Happiness Comes Knock on the Door" is his masterpiece!"

However, many Tom Cruise fans were very angry. "Impossible 2" was only the second week of the screening, but it couldn't win the weekly box office championship again. What a joke?!

The market is not kidding, and the new week's box office rankings verified this point. In the fourth week of the screening, "When Happiness Comes Knocks" received another 27.687 million yuan in 3,610 theaters. Although the percentage drops by more than 30%, this number still makes it ranked second in the week. The movie that reached the championship throne is newly released. "Speed ​​60 Seconds" starring Nicholas Cage received 37.178 million yuan in 3,006 theaters; the third and fourth place are "Impossessed 2" with 21.38 million yuan and "Uncover Fat Mom" ​​with 17.645 million yuan.

"When Happiness Comes Knocks" lost its championship again, but no one, no media will laugh at it, because it swept 155.7012 million yuan around the screening, which is 155 million US dollars in box office! Even if the box office percentage drops seriously, it is a high probability that it will reach 200 million yuan. A 32 million-dollar plot biopic is likely to receive 200 million yuan in North America alone. It will be released in countries around the world in July. According to market laws, its overseas box office will definitely not be defeated, and it will receive 100 million US dollars? 150 million US dollars? 200 million US dollars? This is all possible. You must know that the number of fans overseas is not a small number, especially in Asia, especially in Greater China such as Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is more popular than James Cameron.

"Miracle!" This word that seems to be bad on Wang Yang is used. The media have no choice but to continue using it, otherwise what other words can be used to describe all this? At the age of 20, he made three movies. The first one had a global box office of 310 million, the second one was 411 million, and the third one is currently 155 million. He has a global box office of 876 million. It is only a matter of time before it exceeds 1 billion. This time will not exceed this year, which is his 20-year-old.

This situation made Wang Yang a hot topic again. Many newspapers and magazines have launched special reports on character topics. "It only took him two years from a DVD boy to the best director in the future!", "Magic, or magical!"... This time, even some parents who have always lacked a good impression of Wang Yang gave a thumbs up and a "Latest Parents' Movie Ranking" on the Internet. "When Happiness Comes Knocks on the Door" ranked first. A middle-aged male parent commented: "This is a touching and meaningful movie. It made my little boy ask me for the first time 'What is a dream'? He asked me about the hardships of life for the first time, and praised me for the first time 'you are also a good father'. I plan to take my child to the cinema to watch it again on Father's Day on the 19th. I need that praise."

But since Wang Yang revealed that "Juno" is a film about the theme of a teenage girl's pregnancy, many parents have expressed concern that Fantastic Yang's movie has a great influence in the young people. Will he bring any bad culture? A female parent only wrote one sentence: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

Just when Wang Yang's popularity reached its peak, Flame Movie suddenly announced the entire cast of "Juno" on its official website. Media fans immediately flocked to see who "Juno" would be that Shenqiyang interviewed thousands of girls and could not find?

The male lead Poly is starring Michael Pete, just like Tom Willing, he is a newcomer launched by Fantastic Young. Oh, this is not his first show on the big screen. He previously played a "genius hacker" in "Singing and Dance" and was close to a supporting role; the supporting roles are all unknown candidates, just like Anne Heatherwei... and the heroine Juno, Natalie... Natalie Portman!?
