Hollywood Rhapsody

Different from "Prison Storm", "Age of Love" is a new drama, so Sarah is a little puzzled why the crew only casts roles in November. As far as I can remember, this drama will be broadcast in January of the next year. Sarah thinks Its role should have been decided by at least the beginning of this year.Because an American TV series needs to go through a lot of preliminary work before it is officially released, including preparing for trial screenings, obtaining investment, determining the schedule, etc., which often take several months or even longer.

This question was not answered until Sarah officially joined the filming team. It turned out that "Age of Love" simply passed the trial screening stage, and conquered the TV network with a brief introduction film of less than 10 minutes. It will be scheduled for next January From this we can see the charm of "Age of Love". Sarah was very curious about what the introductory film, which was less than 10 minutes, was like, and at the same time she couldn't help sighing again - a classic is a classic, and it is worthy of the "American Teenager Growth Textbook". The preparation stage is so domineering.

"How do you feel? Do you feel like there is a call?" After the initial script reading meeting, screenwriter Kevin Williamson looked at the four young actors and joked, "The perfect match of handsome men and beautiful women, If you guys get in touch with each other during filming, you must tell me in time, I don't mind adjusting the direction of the next story for the sake of true love."

The four people, including Sarah, look at me and I look at you all laughed at the same time. As for how much they believed in Kevin’s words, it’s two things. At least Sarah knew that Kevin’s mind should have already Just pretending the whole story, Jane's ending should have a general direction at the beginning of creation.There is such a recognition because Sarah remembers rumors that the show was created based on Kevin's experiences and experiences when he was young, and each character either has a prototype or a symbolic meaning.Even Kevin himself once admitted that "Dawson's Creek has always been very personal and autobiographical; I live and breathe in all the characters..."

Because of this, Sarah, who has watched the whole show, couldn't help but secretly complained in her heart: The prototype she played must have offended Kevin, and even hurt him, right?Otherwise, why among the four main characters, only her Jane was written to death by the screenwriter in the end?But it's too early to think about this. After all, if there are no accidents, this show will have six seasons, and her Jane can live for a long, long time!

The filming went smoothly. In the first few episodes, the role of Sarah was not difficult. On the contrary, Joey played by Katie was very entangled. She had a crush on Dawson, but Dawson only had Jane in his eyes. In the midst of the struggle, it is still somewhat difficult to handle this emotion well.

Interestingly, I don’t know if it’s because her appearance is much higher than that of Michelle in the original show. Sarah obviously realized that in this version, there seem to be more shots belonging to Jane, and the photographer deliberately closes up her beauty.It's not that Sarah is narcissistic, but after watching her version and pulling out the original show for comparison, she finds that her version of Jane is obviously more attractive.

Especially the scene of Jane's "sparkling debut", the car stops, the girl walks out slowly, the sun shines on her body with a layer of light gold, the breeze blows her soft blond hair, the beautiful girl in the camera Even with a soft halo, like an angel descending on the world, people can't take their eyes off-this is very in line with the plot setting, it is precisely because Jane's appearance is really beautiful that the hero Dawson fell in love at first sight.

And what about the original drama?To be honest, Sarah felt that this scene of the original drama was a bit sloppy, especially the clothes Michelle was wearing were clinging to her body in the wind, which made Michelle's body look a little too fat and her belly protruding , It’s really not beautiful, at least Sarah couldn’t help frowning when she watched it for the first time.She felt that this was a failure of the director back then, but some netizens once said that everything was deliberately arranged. The series wanted to reflect the curiosity and yearning of adolescent boys and girls for physical changes, so Jane showed her thighs and legs to show her belly. , the picture is very sexy for adolescent boys.

Nonsense!When she saw this kind of argument that she was leaning upwards, Sarah was so embarrassed that she was speechless and chose to ignore it.But now when she stands in front of the camera, she is not asked by the director or the screenwriter to show her big legs and belly, but the pictures are beautiful. Not only the hero fell in love with Jane at first sight, but even the photographer was unfortunately caught by the charm. Concentrated, gazing at Sarah with an almost obsessive gaze after the shoot.

All in all, Sarah is very satisfied with the current filming. The scene where she was scolded by the director for her poor acting skills did not appear on her body. On the contrary, occasionally there will be a fault in the smooth performance, and she has been praised more than once.But because the overall atmosphere of the crew is harmonious and friendly, Sarah doesn't know how much this praise is an encouragement to the younger generation. Anyway, she had a great time filming.

Sarah's self-confidence was also gradually built up in the process. After calming down and thinking about it, Sarah realized that she used to pay too much attention to the words "graduated from a major". Entering the industry, a professional background is not a hard threshold, but when it comes to me, I always feel inexplicably apprehensive. It was not until I really integrated into the performance shooting that I finally let go, and even began to enjoy the fun of performance.

"Is your first time still there?" Just after a "virgin" scene, James Van Der Beek, who plays Dawson, asked vaguely while biting a hamburger at lunch. La didn't seem to need to answer. He quickly put the food in his mouth and looked at Sarah sincerely, "It's just a casual question, there is no other meaning, Sarah, you understand, I was just affected by the scene just now."

"Don't be nervous, I'm not angry, the whole world knows that I'm an unwed mother, it's no big deal." Sarah shook her head indifferently and smiled frankly.

"Cool! It's no big deal, know what I think? Sarah is the coolest girl I've ever met." Katie let go of the straw in her mouth, making no secret of her admiration for Sarah, and she even stood upright. Start counting how cool Sarah is, "I have never seen a girl who lives as wonderfully as Sarah, playing rock and roll, giving birth to a baby, and filming TV series, but at the same time she can understand calculus and a university. Pile of AP courses, have you seen Sarah's schedule? It's just... Wow... I want to say that only aliens can learn those dense AP courses."

Katie stared as if an alien had just come out of a UFO in front of her. Like a conquered little beast, she lay on the edge of the table and cast an admiring look at Sarah.However, the two boys on the opposite side had expressions of "It's too exaggerated, you must be bluffing us", which made Katie unhappy, and immediately invited the two boys to visit their room after today's scene, using Those AP Alien classes dropped their jaws!Of course, the premise is that Sarah herself agrees...

"Why not?" Sarah shrugged, listening to Katie's joyful cheers, Sarah also chuckled, but she didn't understand how the topic of "virgin" could be taken so seriously?She is still very interested in the sexual consciousness of American teenagers.

In 1997, even though Sarah was in the United States at the moment, she did not have her own mobile phone. This can be said to be one of the biggest worries for Sarah.

Many years later, people who bow their heads abound and people talk about the dangers of mobile phones. Experts swear that excessive reliance on mobile phones is a typical manifestation of information anxiety and emotional deprivation. The damn mobile phone has shortened the distance between people and blocked The emotional exchange between relatives and friends... blablabla... And Sarah wanted to jump out and sneer - people who think that there are many bad mobile phones, please come to live in 1997!Without a mobile phone, you will feel that even the air is fresher and the sun is brighter, but you just want to keep in touch with your family anytime and anywhere, and listen to your baby's babbling sound?Hehe, these simplest needs have become impossible extravagant expectations!

"Is the little guy good today? He is sleeping again. I haven't heard his voice for three days, but Noah is like a pig who can never wake up." Sarah lived in the house during the filming. The room provided by the film crew, and only at this time she had the opportunity to call home, but unfortunately, her luck was not very good, for three consecutive days, her baby Noah was sleeping soundly, and she didn't think about her mother at all deep thoughts.

"Come on, in fact, Noah lost his temper because he couldn't see you today, and I cried for a long time before I put him to sleep." Arthur on the other end of the phone smiled and comforted his daughter, "Guess how I coaxed him ?”

"It's really hard for me. Usually, the little guy will fall asleep contentedly after drinking the milk." Sarah twisted her fingers around the phone wire, thinking of herself. The baby was sleeping soundly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help it. Live up.

And when she heard Arthur say that little Noah hugged her clothes and smelled her, she finally settled down, even if she raised her head, she couldn't stop the tears from falling down. It was only at this moment that she realized that she How much do you love that little baby, you will worry about whether he is eating well, whether he is sleeping soundly, and will cry endlessly because you miss him too much.

"Hey, Sarah, are you crying?" Arthur asked uncertainly when he heard the movement, and before Sarah could answer, he slowed down his voice and said softly, "My dear, Noah and I miss you very much." You, film well, take care of yourself, it’s already December, we can reunite soon, can’t we?”

"Yes, the filming here will come to an end soon... God, I didn't expect that I would be so sentimental, I just miss you so much..." Sarah rubbed the corners of her eyes, looking at the decoration on the opposite wall Oil painting, I feel like I accidentally opened a door that has been closed for more than 20 years.From the death of her parents to being adopted, she was unfortunate but fortunate. At least she never lacked the care of her elders in her growth. However, there was a door in her heart that was tightly closed for a long time. She was very emotional. However, her private emotional world has always been closed. Until this moment, when she shed tears thinking about Noah, the door suddenly showed signs of loosening. This unexpected change made Sarah very happy.

"Boom, boom, boom~" Arthur on the other end of the phone was soothing, but there was a knock on Sarah's door.

Kevin's voice was a little blurry through the door, so Sarah had to hang up the phone in a hurry, put away the mixed emotions in her heart, and wiped her face quickly with her hand before opening the door, although it was obvious when she glanced at the mirror that her eyes abnormality, but Sarah didn't have time to find the foundation to cover it up--

Kevin!Kevin!As she held the doorknob, Sarah couldn't help beating a nervous drumbeat in her heart.

"Hey, Kevin." The door opened, and Sarah grinned enthusiastically, "Tell me, you have the good news I want!"

"SO? If not, would you shut me out?" Writer-producer Kevin Williamson shook his head and sighed with a hurt expression, "Kids these days are so utilitarian, Sarah, Do you know? My mood suddenly became very bad, and I have no interest in chatting with you, so let's go to another day, and I will come to you again. "

"Hahaha, don't, don't, or else I won't be able to sleep tonight." Sarah said, holding Kevin's arm, begging Kevin to come in for a cup of coffee.

"You are..." It just so happened that a voice sounded hesitantly.

James Van Der Beek was holding a plastic bag and stood at the stairs with his mouth slightly open. Behind him was the half head of another boy, Joshua Jackson.The eyes of the two boys seem to be able to speak, and the silent exclamation has reached Sarah's ears—"There is adultery here! Is Sarah seducing the screenwriter!"

The author has something to say:

Dailin’s writing is also uplifting. I’m writing while looking up information, and I’m sharing some with you.

Unlike Chinese TV dramas that focus on the structure of actors, in the ecological chain of American dramas, the screenwriter is king. The screenwriter is often the source of an American drama, and even controls the life and death of the actors. The "accidental death" of the protagonist in many American dramas, It is often a "masterpiece" after many considerations by the screenwriter.

So it may not be impossible to write a screenwriter for a role.

Ahh~~ Then the alarm goes off!

Guess what happened between Kevin and Sarah?

Of course...cough...
