The Best Director

Chapter 63 Contact her!

Amazing Yang: Where's Juno? This is the headline of the report in the latest issue of the Los Angeles Times entertainment section, accompanied by a photo of Wang Yang looking around while walking the dog, as if looking for something. This photo is Cole's masterpiece. He now has a nickname of Wang Yang's Album in the industry. He has a large number of Wang Yang's photos on hand, and he has all kinds of expressions. Now the media have information about Wang Yang. Figures, almost all provided by Cole.

This report said: It has been nearly a month since we learned about the Juno plan of Magic Young, but Juno's candidate has not been decided yet. Many people thought that Juno would be replaced by Jessica- Alba, or Rachel McAdams, but no, they seem to have been kicked out early on. At first, everyone thought it was a scheduling problem, but now it doesn't seem to be the case. It is understood that the young director has interviewed dozens of people. Well-known female stars, thousands of new girls, and obviously he got nothing.

Juno's candidates are in a dilemma. What kind of girl is Miracle Yang looking for? What kind of girl is Juno? Who will become Juno?

In the study room, Wang Yang was distractedly playing with the High School Musical cartoon plastic doll on the table. This is a peripheral product launched in cooperation with a toy company. The sales volume is not bad. Although it can't make much money, it can increase its influence. And cultivate die-hard fans of flame movies. He picked up a brown-haired cartoon doll, looked at her smiling face, his boredom eased, he smiled slightly, and put it down again.

The search for Juno is indeed in trouble, and it can be said that there is no progress. This also makes Wang Yang gradually become troubled by this. If Juno cannot be found, it is meaningless to find other actors first, but in these days During the interview, he interviewed countless girls, not the thousands mentioned by the Los Angeles Times, but more than 3,000. Every day, he inspects hundreds of young girls of different types. This job feels seductive at the beginning, and then becomes boring.

There is no Juno among the more than 3,000 girls, and the number of auditions in the past two days has been greatly reduced every day, and the hope is getting slimmer.

Wang Yangfa stayed for a while, looked at the time, and at Jessica's usual speed of making dinner, it would take about half an hour. He looked at the computer screen, picked up the mouse, and opened a script document called When Happiness Knocks on the Door. The script of Juno has been preliminarily written. Of course, it is only the first draft. As time goes by, With daily thinking and changes in ideas, he will make detailed revisions to the script, even major revisions, until he is most satisfied.

However, Wang Yang doesn't want to pay attention to the script of Juno now. Now that Juno is mentioned, what appears in front of his eyes are thousands of girls in a blur, as if they are playing a slideshow quickly, and he feels that he is about to go crazy. up. So he decided to write the script of When Happiness Comes Knocking first. Except for Jessica, he has not told anyone else about the plan of this movie. He plans to finish filming Juno before making When Happiness Knocks The Door, the problem now is that High School Musical 2 is about to start filming in early September,

And the heroine of Juno has not yet been suitable.

When some people can't do something, they will tell you that you can't either...

When he typed this sentence, Wang Yang couldn't help smiling, thinking of Harry George's phrase You must fail, that's what we are, losers. He continued to type on the keyboard with a smile: If you have a dream, , I have to defend it, I have to work hard to realize it. That’s it.” The fat man is living a good life now, and he has become Walley Pfister’s assistant as he wished, and he can do what he likes every day.

The study was very quiet, except for the sound of typing on the keyboard. When Wang Yang was immersed in the script of When Happiness Knocks on the Door, his mobile phone rang suddenly. Wang Yang took it out and saw that it belonged to Mark Slanter. He frowned and said, Mark, what's the matter?

Yan, I sent something to your mailbox, please take a look. Mark Slanter's voice was very serious, and he said again: This matter is very urgent.

What's the matter? Wang Yang was full of disbelief, this guy said something urgent every time, but few times it was true. He logged into his mailbox, downloaded the picture file sent by Mark Slanter, clicked on it, and was stunned for a moment, laughing: What? Mark, why are you sending me her picture?

Mark Srant laughed and said, Did you see it? These stills are all of her in The End of the Heart, which was only released in September. He asked seriously: How is it? Doesn't she Like a high school student? No temperament?

Looking at Natalie Portman on the screen, she is wearing a peaked cap and has a lively smile on her face, and I have to say that she is very temperamental. Wang Yang silently held the mouse and looked at it. When Juno is not Ellen Page, no matter who is cast, the look will definitely change. Design, Natalie Portman looks very mature and quiet with long hair and shawl; but when she adds bangs to her ponytail and wears a peaked cap, she looks very youthful and has the feeling of Juno.

And with Natalie's acting genius, she might be good as Juno...but. Wang Yang stood up, walked to the balcony, and said decisively: Mark, forget it, don't think about it, I tell you clearly, I will not consider Natalie Portman.

Why? Mark Srant asked amusedly.

Wang Yang stood at the door of the balcony, looking at the sky that was about to be pitch black, and said, Why? You know. He had an affair with Natalie Portman for no apparent reason. The film review Natalie is my dream... The problem is that he was indeed the one who wrote the film review in the school magazine. Even though he is with Jessica now, everyone thinks that he was once crazy about Natalie- Portman, posters of her all over the room and stuff.

If Juno now invites Natalie to play? No need to think about it, the gossip media will definitely bring up that outrageous scandal again, saying that he has nothing left for Natalie, and it will make a big fuss.

But he doesn't care about these, maybe it can increase the attention of Juno, and the scandal is the scandal, it is not true, it will always end one day; the real reason for him to reject it is that Jessica .

My boyfriend wants to make a movie with the girl he is rumored to be having an affair with? Why do you have to find her and not someone else? Whether it's work or a movie, no matter what the reason is, no girl will feel comfortable in this situation, and they might start arguing on the spot.

The reason why he wanted to make Juno was precisely because of the oolong pregnancy incident with Jessica. Juno was their daughter. He didn't want Juno's mother Jessica to misunderstand and feel uncomfortable, not at all. So he won't consider Natalie Portman, no matter how suitable she is.

Thinking of this, Wang Yang said again: Mark, forget it, I won't consider Natalie.

My boss, you really can't do this. Mark Slanter was helpless and anxious, and sighed: I know you are afraid that your little girlfriend will misunderstand, but can't you explain it? I think Jessica will understandable.

Walking to the railing of the balcony, Wang Yang looked at the bright kitchen downstairs, with a warm smile on his face, and said: There is no need to explain, this will hurt her anyway, that is my girlfriend and almost He got married this month, he smiled and said: I don't want her to have any misunderstandings and discomfort, she is uncomfortable, I am even more uncomfortable. You also have a family and a wife, you should understand. I want her to be happy, otherwise the movie will be successful , I wouldn't be happy either.

I assure you, this won't hurt anyone, it's just making a movie. Mark Slanter still wanted to persuade, saying: My wife can understand this, the key is communication, you give it a try. Wang Yang said bluntly: No, there's no need to say any more, I'm going to hang up. Mark Slanter suddenly became a little crazy, took a breath, and said, Yang, you are too immature this time.

Well, I'm just immature. I'm only 19 years old. Why do I need to be mature? Wang Yang laughed in a rogue tone, laughed a few times, and said seriously: Mark, I admit that Natalie It is very suitable for Juno; but the one thing she is most unsuitable for is that sentence, she will make my girlfriend angry. Dude, Natalie is not the only one who can act in this world, I would rather interview another 10,000 people, interview to Go to England and Italy, don’t worry about Jessica, that’s all. Goodbye, Mark, continue to prepare for tomorrow’s audition.”

Mark Srant said helplessly: OK, you are such a good boyfriend.

You're right, I'm trying to be that kind of person. Wang Yang smiled and pressed the end call, put the phone back in his pocket, turned and walked back to the room, but when he turned around, he was stunned, only Seeing Jessica standing not far in front with a smile on his face, he was silent for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly: Hi, Jessica. He strode back to the computer and turned off Natalie's picture. Drop it, then drag it into the trash bin.

Jessica came over and said softly: Yang, dinner is ready. Wang Yang said Okay and was about to click to clean up the recycle bin. Jessica pressed her hand, she shook her head with a smile , control the mouse to restore the picture. She thought of what Wang Yang said just now, her heart beat fast, full of the feeling of being loved, she said softly: I heard it all.

Oh. Wang Yang shrugged, not knowing what to say, smiled, and said, Fortunately, I didn't say bad things about you.

Jessica grinned, held the mouse and opened the picture. She looked at Natalie Portman wearing a peaked cap on the screen, and remembered what Wang Yang said about Juno's appearance requirements these days. She smiled. Said: Like Juno, Jan, contact her

Never mind this. Wang Yang snatched the mouse, dragged the pictures back into the trash can and deleted them all, dragged Jessica's hand and walked out of the room, and said with a smile: Dinner time. Jesse, we have dinner tonight. Is it pumpkin pie?

Jessica didn't answer his question, and stood there refusing to leave. She looked at Wang Yang who turned her head, and said seriously: Yang, I won't be angry, and I won't be unhappy. I don't care about our relationship. I have confidence, and I absolutely believe in you. Her eyes were full of tenderness, and she said, I am your girlfriend, and I don't care about the scandal between you and Natalie, because I know it's not true; I care about you, Jan , you don’t want to see me suffer, but I don’t want to see you suffer either.”

She knew about Juno's selection. During this period of time, Wang Yang scratched his head, and the last few days were even more dull. She felt very worried about this, but she couldn't help, but now there is a good one. Candidates. She looked at Wang Yang and said again: Contact Natalie, Yang.

Thank you, Jessica. Wang Yang smiled slightly, and said, But I really don't want to cause scandals... Jessica frowned, interrupted him, and said commandingly: Contact her Wang Yang Startled, Jessica frowned and took a step forward, reached into his pocket and took out his mobile phone, immediately dialed a number in the address book, called Jiang Ye, and said, Hello, Slang Mr. Te, Jan let me tell you, get in touch with Natalie Portman. Well, bye

Wang Yang covered his forehead, looked at her and laughed. Jessica hung up the phone with a sweet smile on her face, put the phone back into his pocket, spread her hands and said with a smile: Okay, it's done. Wang Yang smiled and dragged her hand and walked outside Go, said: Let's eat

After a happy dinner, Wang Yang and Jessica leaned on the sofa to watch TV, but soon received a call from Mark Slanter, as if he was afraid that Wang Yang would go back on his word, he quickly contacted Natalie Portman's agent. Jessica turned down the volume of the TV with the remote control. Wang Yang put one arm around her waist and put the mobile phone to his ear, listening to Mark Slant say: Yang, I have already contacted you, Na Tali Portman said she's not interested, she's going to focus on school.

Haha Wang Yang couldn't help laughing, and he felt relieved immediately, because from a calm and rational point of view, he couldn't convince himself that Natalie couldn't play Juno; but from an emotional point of view, he really didn't want to cooperate with Natalie. Fortunately, now that the matter has been resolved, he smiled and said, It's a pity, isn't it, then we have to continue looking for someone.

Jessica next to her frowned when she heard the words, Wang Yang smiled at her, but then heard Mark Srant laugh and said: Hey, my boss, I haven't finished my words yet, Natalie's The attitude is not very firm, she agreed to start a phone conversation with you, right now. I will send you a text message with her number later. After a pause, Mark said seriously: Jan, you have to convince her.

Listening to Jessica laughing again, she patted Wang Yang on the shoulder, stood up and walked to the kitchen, and said with a smile: Yang, come on, I'll go and clean up the dishes.

Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders, half-lyed on the sofa, looked at the number sent by Mark Slanter, read it twice and memorized it, got through the past Jiangye, looked at the program on the TV screen, and said: Hi, hello, is this Miss Natalie Portman? Well, I'm Wang Yang.

Natalie Portman's voice came over there, and she said lightly: Hi, Mr. Wang. After saying hello, Wang Yang said directly to the phone: Miss Portman, I would like to invite you to play Juno. Natalie answered immediately: Mr. Wang, September is coming soon, and I'm going to study at Harvard. I hope to enjoy college well and have a normal growth trajectory.

She added: But I really like those interesting and meaningful stories. Some stories can make me desperate. But to be honest, I'm not interested in stories like High School Musical. If it's an ordinary school story, Isn't it better for me to experience it directly in the university? What do you think? Mr. Wang.

En. Wang Yang responded to her, Natalie's meaning was obvious, if Juno is like High School Musical, then don't bother her. He organized it and said: I understand very well, Miss Portman, let me tell you about the general content of Juno. Juno is a very casual and independent 16-year-old girl. One day she will probably be idle. Bored, decided to have sex with a track team teenager, Paulie, and she got pregnant...

Next, he told the story of Juno, and Natalie listened quietly all the time. When he finished, she asked, What do you want to film about this story?

Wang Yang sat down, became serious, and said to her: Pregnancy is just an opportunity. Juno is facing various changes. On the one hand, she has entered the world of adults. She has seen the relationship between the adopted couple. values; on the other hand, she was still in the youthful and immature campus, and had a story with Paulie. Paulie is very immature, but he also has things that adults don’t have. During this pregnancy, Juno learned a lot, and she thought A lot, her state of mind is going through changes...

After he finished speaking again, Natalie seemed to say Oh with great interest, she was silent for a while, and said: Mr. Wang, I would like to see the complete script. When I see the story fully, I will You'll know if you're really interested.

Wang Yang laughed and said, Of course. Many things need to be discussed in person. He also needs to meet face to face to see if Natalie Portman is really suitable for Juno. This is a mutual investigation. process. Hearing that Natalie was silent over there, Wang Yang had nothing to say, and said, Then, goodbye. The rest is to talk to her agent and arrange a time to meet. The place is of course New York, he has to I made a special trip to fly over to Jiang Ye.

Okay, goodbye. Natalie Portman said something and ended the call.

Listening to the beep sound of the mobile phone, Wang Yang pressed the end button. He looked at Jessica who was walking over there, and she asked with a smile, How is it? Wang Yang smiled at her, Said: I'm going to New York again.

PS: Wow, I want to say a few words. I hope everyone can be more patient when reading the book. Many plots take a long time to know what is going on. This chapter says so, it does not necessarily mean that it will definitely be done in the future. The story is developing. Characters are also changing. (these words do not count money)
