[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

The San Fernando Valley is located in the west of Los Angeles, and it has the most erotic scenery in the United States.

When you walk in the studio here, you will receive sights from all sides, especially Joey, as a director, has received countless suggestive sights from those erotic actors.

As the saying goes, an erotic actor who doesn't want to be on the big screen is not a good actor.Legend has it that this is the place with the most unspoken rules.

Rebecca Ferguson was obviously surprised and delighted, "I didn't expect that this "Harvard Life" would be remade, and now even the name has been changed, and it has become "Juno"."

Joey smiled heartily, "I'm sorry, the previous movie failed to sell, and this time I will definitely not let you down again."

Rebecca said very honestly: "It doesn't matter, I can make 3-4 films every year, but there may not be one that is actually released every year. I have long been used to it. Independent films just lack stability, but I am not enough. to make those commercial films."

Joey shrugged happily, "Trust me, we will succeed."

Then the process of the first day began, because the employee of the guarantee company kept urging the filming to speed up the progress.

The new version of the movie "Juno" mainly tells a family full of contradictions.

The protagonist is a cool 17-year-old girl who grew up as an illegitimate daughter with a slightly withdrawn personality. She thinks she is a complete loser, lacks friends, lacks love, and has a long-standing grudge with her mother.She was fed up with her mother's boasting. When she needed maternal love most, her mother was busy dealing with other men and ignored her. Therefore, her life attitude of muddling along and even self-destructive was the "punishment" for her mother.

Juno's mother is an eccentric woman who likes to intervene in Juno's affairs and give some unrealistic opinions.Back then, she dropped out of school early to make a living and gave up the chance to go to college. She pinned all her life hopes on Juno.She wants her daughter, Juno, to get admitted to Harvard University, so that her life as a mother will seem less of a failure.

At this time, because the mother could not pay the rent, Juno and her mother moved to the grandmother's house where they had long been resentful and had no contact with each other like strangers.

The grandmother also has a strange personality. Twenty years ago, the grandfather couldn't stand her and ran away from home and never came back. He abandoned his wife and daughter here.So since 20 years ago, my grandmother has been desperate for this failed life, and she put all her energy on how to arrange her own funeral.

A conflicted family comes together with the same goal of getting Juno into Harvard.In this process, they re-recognized the responsibilities of the family and the meaning of affection.

The irreconcilable contradictions of the family gradually shattered. In the end, Juno still failed to get into Harvard and became a failure again, but found that the family had been united together.

After various experiences of this family of "losers", we can redefine the meaning of success and failure.

In addition to success and failure in life, there is life.

This kind of script is aimed at awards at a glance, but Joy thinks it has something unique to her, that is, the protagonist's cool and sharp character. She has a lot of spicy and sharp dialogues in the film, which is a representative of the The living conditions of this group of post-90s children in Europe and America, the punk-like fiery non-mainstream personality and her sharp language can enliven the atmosphere every moment.

The second is the warm and touching shooting method, which describes the theme of "lost dog literary comedy" about losers.You must know that this kind of theme will shine in the next few years. Of course, if the movie is good enough, combined with this kind of theme, you basically don’t have to worry about box office and word-of-mouth issues.

With everything ready, the filming began.

But on the first day of filming, she seemed dissatisfied with Rebecca's makeup.

She called a makeup artist and made a serious statement, "Juno is a cool girl, is a miniskirt cool? Not at all! What's a cooler combination than a plaid shirt and jeans?"

The makeup artist nodded, then took out a very light lip gloss and said, "Do you want to add some color to your lips?"

"No!"

Then, the first scene restarted.

Rebecca was sitting on the window sill in the corridor, and when she saw the teacher she had a crush on walking by, she squinted at him, and then said to him in a slightly ruffian way: "Teacher, the shirt behind you is partially untucked." go in."

Jason was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then he was inexplicably embarrassed, "Juno, class is about to start, why don't you go in?"

Rebecca jumped off the ledge, ignored anyone, and left the school directly.

"Crack", Joey stopped the short first act.

She was pleased that Rebecca had delivered Juno's slightly punk sharpness well.

But she seemed a little dissatisfied with the position of the camera on the crane arm. She found that the angle of the camera was slightly deflected from the monitor, which did not meet her ideal requirements, so she planned to communicate with the cameraman.

Yes, I can only communicate and tell the photographer what she thinks. If she is asked to fight the machine herself, she will definitely not be able to handle it.

Many people say that there is discrimination in the film industry, why is it so difficult for female directors to succeed.

At the bottom, many female directors were eliminated.

why?

Because before the emergence of Sundance Film Festival, a film festival specially prepared for independent films, if ordinary people want to become directors, they have to mix in the crew and have a certain accumulation before the company will give you a try of some low-cost films. , and then have the opportunity to take on big productions.

The routine of being mixed in the crew is, field worker - field record - nth assistant director - first assistant director. When you get to this position, you will have the opportunity to direct. If there happens to be a director who throws you a small cost to try, You can take the lead.

And most of the female directors may have been brushed off before they reached the position of first assistant director.

The reason is a physical problem.

The director asked you to check whether the structure of the bottom of the boat is suitable for filming, and the assistant director had to take off his clothes and jump into the water.

If the director says that there is a problem with the position of the camera, the assistant director and the photographer have to move the camera around with the camera weighing more than [-] kilograms.

The director is busy all day, but the assistant director has to hold a loudspeaker and shout all day on the whole set to spread the word.

The director only needs to shoot the movie, but the assistant director has to worry about the whole crew!

Don't say that you can skip this step of moving bricks at the bottom if you are talented. Ang Lee also started as a production crew managing equipment.

So how many women can withstand the process of being used like animals?

However, with the rise of independent films, many female directors have found a new path, which is to raise funds to shoot independent films by themselves, so that they can skip the traditional process of moving bricks from the bottom.

Therefore, the emergence of an independent film festival such as the Sundance Film Festival has benefited many female directors.

Back at the shooting scene, after communicating with the photographer, she decided to reshoot the first scene.Anyway, at most, some film was wasted. She prepared 35 reels of Kodak 250 color film for several 5222mm cameras, each reel was 122 meters long.

According to the film specification of 1 meters in 27 minute, a film can be shot in 4.5 minutes.According to the length of a general movie, 20 discs would be enough, but Joey bought 250 discs conservatively, because the material shot by any director will definitely be dozens of times the length of the film. A big director like James Cameron may Even hundreds of times.Not much preparation is not enough.

And the last scene to be filmed that day is also one of the soul bridges of the story.

The fire from the incineration plant rose all over the sky, symbolizing the sparks of destruction falling from her eyes. Juno's mind was full of indelible childhood shadows and lack of care, followed by a whole piece of emptiness and loneliness .

But she enjoyed this moment very much.

This is one of the soul fragments. Joey, who has a strong attachment to the dusk of the sunset, must wait until dusk to shoot this segment.

And she must find the most beautiful view of the sunset before giving up. For this reason, she placed several cameras at different heights at the same time, staring at the monitor all day long, all the time to find the most beautiful sunset.

Joey has always liked the "magichour" lens very much, especially looking at the refreshing sunset lens.

Among her bad films in the past, the only commendable thing is that she focuses on shooting the sunrise and dusk scenes, and the shots are very beautiful, and the protagonist also has to hang around in the sunset every now and then.

To take beautiful pictures of the sunset, you must use a wide-angle lens, which is what she is good at. In short, when it comes to how to take beautiful pictures, Joy is very good at it.

Those directors who can make movies with beautiful texture are mostly commercials. Michael Bay from "Transformers", David Fincher from "Gone Girl", Tetsuya Nakajima from "Confessions", is Joey a commercial director? Born, but has a unique talent for shooting beautiful pictures.

Of course, Rebecca's performance is also important, and she shows the "sense of destruction" that Joy wants in this moment.

Contrary to her mother's desire for self-redemption, her expression is filled with the joy of self-destruction, and her carefree and unrestrained eyes make people anxious, but there is nothing they can do.

Joey thinks this is a very talented actor. No wonder Tom Cruise will bring this girl who played a soap opera in Sweden into Mission Impossible many years later. His vision has always been very accurate.

After shooting the most soulful part, the task of the first day is over.

But it wasn't until this time that Joey got the news that the actor who was going to play his mother's old lover in the film couldn't come with a bone fracture, and they had to find another one.

But now she is in the vast San Fernando Valley, unless she goes back to Hollywood to audition, where will she find a normal actor?
