Yes, Daniel is planning to start filming this Juno, and he himself did not give the script in advance. Wang Daniel doesn’t quite remember what made him forget this very representative work. He remembers that he still thought of “Juno” three or four years ago, but at that time he couldn’t seem to find a suitable protagonist. ——And he doesn't think it's appropriate to launch a work that may cause a lot of controversy when the film industry starts.

Juno is indeed a feminist film, and sensitive subjects such as teenage pregnancy also need to be considered in the United States, because conservatives and liberals have been arguing about abortion laws for many years-because their respective supporters are in the United States. There are different interests on this issue. Young voters, women and minorities -- groups that support Democrats and typically have higher abortion rates -- support the current bill -- allowing fetuses to be operated on up to 24 weeks' gestation. Correspondingly, conservative voters in the Midwest of the United States, which is the dominant area of ​​​​the Republican Party, want to push the time limit forward by 4 weeks within the federal scope, which is 20 weeks, and stipulate that abortions are not allowed for fetuses over 20 weeks.

The controversy between the two parties is very intense, and social opinions are clearly opposed. Both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party are relatively cautious.

Juno is not clear on the issue of abortion. On the one hand, ∈dǐng∈ǎn∈small∈ says, .2↘3.←o It seems to inspire everyone's respect for new life-after all, Juno will ultimately give birth to the child He was born and an adoptive family was chosen for him. But on the other hand, all kinds of discrimination, confusion, and difficult situations that Juno encountered seem to be telling young girls that if you get pregnant by accident, you will be in big trouble. At this time, abortion is of course a simpler option. choose.

Anyway, Daniel knew. This script by Coty leaves no doubt about the girl's self-awareness!

Is pregnancy a big deal? Why so serious? Girls can take it all, even in a society that is so unkind and discriminatory — a girl, whether she gets pregnant early or not, regardless of how she decides. All should be recognized and respected by the society. This is the purpose of Diablo Cody - to practice her own life and values.

This script was indeed selected by Melissa's team from the series scripts, but she hesitated about it-that's why she handed it over to Daniel, the screenwriter Diablo Cody is a young girl, After she awakened her self-awareness, she refused to be a good card—she was even so radical that she participated in a stripping contest, but failed because of no talent.

Jason Reitman gradually relaxed in Daniel's description, and began to talk about his own understanding of the story.

She must buy a few more pee sticks. At least three, think about it, an ignorant girl with a big grin and a swearing mouth poured a large bottle of fruit juice into her stomach at the door of a drugstore, and then walked in, and was laughed at by the salesperson. Irony - but Juno will never accept it. She will not shed tears, she will definitely retort. And very arrogant, but the actor must perform more layers,

No matter how she behaves, but an unprepared girl with an unexpected pregnancy, she must be worried and restless, which requires a lot of acting skills. At Juno's age, maybe it's more than just acting... Perhaps, we can also design another girl who is a thief? Is a rock girl? How deviant and how came, but when she overheard the news of Juno's pregnancy. It must be astonishing—just like the sanctimonious worldly people...

Jason began to describe it incessantly, and a clear picture appeared in his mind. Since he saw the script, he began to unconsciously flash one scene after another in his mind, pharmacy, basement, alley, The class—besides a wonderful Juno, there are so many different faces, some kind, some hateful, some touching, some hateful—but everything is charming.

Daniel listened quietly, compared with Juno in his mind one by one, and nodded slowly.

You have strengthened my confidence, Jason, you will succeed and will support all your work. Daniel sent Jason out of the office, and after confirming the actors and producers, the next casting, framing, setting, Preparation, and of course a series of document negotiations, which already has a professional process for opening a business, Daniel will not be involved in it.

He let out a sigh of relief, he was always very busy when he came to the office.

Seeing Sally coming in again, holding her iconic notebook, and following David later, Daniel complained in a rare way, Evidently, the film industry was running well when I was away, why are there so many people when I come here? Work.

Speak as if this company is mine.

David looked at Sally, Why don't you show him our usual communication materials, phone calls, and emails, so that he can know why the company can operate normally when he is not in the film industry.

Of course Sally wouldn't be teasing the boss with his friends.

In fact, Daniel has been dealing with the affairs, but sometimes Sally will ask him very concisely and neatly in daily reports, and sometimes other people will make decisions according to the authority granted by him—this is the reason for David and Sally. Li, even Ferguson, Melissa, Kusa, etc. all increased their workload, but Daniel himself was liberated.

So when he heard such a hateful complaint from him, he became more and more tempered, and David, who had gradually forgotten about Brooklyn, couldn't help but stab him a few words.

Okay, Daniel hurriedly raised his hands in surrender, Who are you meeting next?

Garbridge, Steven, Heyman—and me.

There are so many, what are they doing? Daniel took a sip of his tea, it was cold, Jason said it for too long, he thought about it, but he still didn't ask Sally to make him another cup, Huh?

After waiting for a while, no one responded to him, and he turned to look at David suspiciously.

David, oh, your eyes are getting bigger...uh, why are you opening them so wide? I was just kidding.

Daniel quickly remembered—it wasn't that his memory had faded, but that he had emptied his mind just now, so he asked such ridiculous questions.

Director, screenwriter and producer of When Happiness Comes Knocking.

After he successfully persuaded Will Smith and his son to join it and formed a project team, he handed over this work to David - David needs to be in charge of some projects independently in order to exercise his leadership skills, as a filmmaker The owner of the industry, nominally still the owner of the parent company of MGM Pictures, David had to grow up quickly. Although his talent and experience have helped him become an excellent film studio leader over the years, as the size of MGM and MGM continues to increase, David's vision, insight, and ability have all become insufficient. So Daniel is consciously cultivating this friend. Of course, there is another reason. This project has been going smoothly, so there is very little news that can be delivered to Daniel, and there is almost no news-and Daniel's main energy, except for the two films Night at the Museum and Breakthrough In addition to the shooting, it also needs to be spent on the release of the MGM series of works, not to mention that he and Raymond have formulated a huge development strategy for Plutos. time and attention.

As a result, there has been very little direct attention to When Happiness Comes Knocking.

In fact, it's not just Knock on the Door, Chain Saw 3 released in November, and The Hangover 2 that will be released next year. For example, James Wen, the director of the first Chain Saw The new horror film The Conjuring and so on, these projects are now operated by the company team led by David, and Daniel himself is rarely directly involved. Moving Forward is the work he starred in, and as his Olympic film, he paid more attention to it, but James Mangold obviously did more work. He also pays more attention to Paul Walker's Transformers, purely because the success of this film can completely establish the strong position of the film industry. For MGM Pictures, he got involved very late in Bad Teacher, and he had to do more in High School Musical, but for example, Black Swan or even 007: The Royal Family, he actually Both cared very little.

Insufficient energy is a big problem. It is impossible for any large studio to rely on the big boss to promote all projects.

This is the future trend with MGM.

It's amazing that you still remember. David continued to mock him.

Finished? Daniel looked at Sally uncertainly, as he vaguely remembered. But finishing is an important hurdle for the leading actors, directors and others, except for the producers-if there is no problem with the budget. Because there are still several editions of editing, as well as a large number of release promotion planning and implementation, that is the beginning of the busy schedule of producers and distributors.

Yes, Gabriel has already cut a version, we think we should talk to you, and you should see the effect first.

you have seen?

For Gabriel, the Italian director, it was not chosen by the film industry, but recommended by Will Smith. Even in order to invite Gabriel, who barely speaks English, to direct, Will did a lot of work-and the film industry also provided him with a working translator.

David ǎǎn nodded, I think it's quite touching, very good.

Daniel remembered that the cast of When Happiness Knocks on the Door was the same as the original, so he wasn't too worried about changes in the movie—from a good movie to trash, and David's judgment made him feel more at ease.

Well, are they coming?

I made an appointment for four. (To be continued.)
