Chapter 391: "Juno"

Yes, Daniel is planning to start shooting this "Juno", he himself did not give the script in advance. Wang Daniel can't remember the reason why he forgot this very representative work. He remembered that he still thought of "Juno". Three or four years ago, it seemed that he couldn't find a suitable protagonist at that time. ——And he does not think it is appropriate to launch a work that may attract a lot of controversy when the film industry is starting.

"Juno" is indeed a feminist film, and a sensitive subject like teenage pregnancy needs more consideration in the United States, where conservatives and liberals debate abortion laws for years—as their respective supporters There are different interests on this issue. Young voters, women and minorities — those who support Democrats and often have higher abortion rates — support the current bill — which would allow fetuses to be operated on up to 24 weeks’ gestation. Correspondingly, conservative Midwestern voters in the United States, which are the dominant areas of the Republican Party, want to push the time limit by 4 weeks, or 20 weeks, within the federal scope, stipulating that fetuses above 20 weeks are not allowed to undergo abortion operations.

The disputes between the two sides are very fierce, and the social opinions are obviously opposed. Both the Republicans and the Democrats are relatively cautious.

"Juno" is not clear on the issue of abortion. On the one hand, ∈ dǐng∈ǎn∈小∈ says, .2↘3.←o it seems to be calling everyone's respect for the new life - after all, Juno will ultimately give the child was born, and an adoptive family was chosen for him. But on the other hand, all the discrimination, confusion, and hardships that Juno has encountered also seem to be telling young girls that if you get pregnant unexpectedly, you will be in big trouble—and at this time, abortion is of course a more straightforward option. choose.

But anyway, Daniel knew. This script by Coty unquestionably expresses the girl's self-awareness!

Pregnancy, is it a big deal? Why be so serious? Girls can take it all, even if the society is so hostile and discriminatory - a girl, whether she gets pregnant early or not, no matter how she decides. All should be recognized and respected by the society, this is the purpose of Diablo Coty - to practice her own life and values.

This script was indeed picked out by Melissa's team from the series, but she was a little hesitant about it - that's why she handed it over to Daniel. The screenwriter Diablo Coty is a young girl. After she awakened her self-awareness, she refused to be an obedient card - she even went so far as to participate in a stripping contest, but lost because of "no talent".

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

"She must buy a few more urinals. At least three, think about it, a carefree, swearing ignorant girl, at the door of a pharmacy, poured a large bottle of juice into her stomach, and then walked in, being laughed at by the salesperson, Irony - but Juno is definitely not going to be resigned. No tears, she's sure to retort. And very arrogant, but the actor has to act on more layers, no matter how she behaves, but an unprepared teen with an unexpected pregnancy , she must be worried and disturbed, which requires a little acting. At Juno's age, it may be more than just acting... Maybe, we can design another ** girl, she is a thief? Is a rock Girl? What a deviant, but when she overheard the news of Juno's pregnancy. Must be astonished - just like those sane worldly people..."

Jason began to describe incessantly, and a clear picture appeared in his mind. Since he saw the script, he began to unconsciously flash scenes one by one in his mind, the drugstore, the basement, the alley, The class — except for a wonderful Juno, and so many different faces, some kind, some hateful, some touching, some hateful—but everything was charming.

Daniel listened quietly, compared it with the "Juno" in his mind, and nodded slowly.

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

With a slight sigh, he was always very busy when he came to the office.

Seeing Sally come in again, holding her iconic notebook, and later following David, Daniel complained, "It was clear that the film industry was running well when I was away, why did I have so many as soon as I came here? Work."

"It's like this company is mine."

David looked at Sally, "It's better to 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 doesn't make fun of the boss with her friends.

In fact, what Daniel has been dealing with is that sometimes Sally asks him for instructions very concisely and neatly in daily reports, and sometimes others make decisions based on the authority he has granted-this is for David, Sally Li, even Ferguson, Melissa, Kusa, etc. have increased their workload, only Daniel himself has been liberated.

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

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

"Gabridge, Steven, Heyman—and me."

"So much, what are they doing?" Daniel took a sip of the tea, and it got cold, Jason said for too long, he thought about it, but still didn't ask Sally to make him a new cup, "Huh? "

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

"David, oh, your eyes are getting bigger... uh, why are you opening your eyes so big? I'm just joking."

Daniel quickly remembered - it wasn't that his memory had faded, but that he had just emptied his mind to ask such a ridiculous question.

Director, screenwriter and producer of "Knock on Happiness".

After he successfully persuaded Will Smith and his son to join it and formed a project team, he handed over the work to David - David needs to continue to be responsible for some projects independently, in order to exercise his leadership ability, as a filmmaker. The o of the industry, and nominally the owner of MGM's parent company, Dave must grow up quickly. Although over the years, his talent and experience have helped him become an excellent film studio leader, but with the continuous increase in size with MGM, David's vision, knowledge, and ability have all shown insufficient. So Daniel is consciously cultivating this friend. Of course, there is another reason. This project has been going relatively smoothly, so there is very little news that can be handed to Daniel, almost no - and Daniel's main energy, except for the two films "Wonderful Night at the Museum" and "Invincible" In addition to the shooting, it also needs to be spent on the distribution of the MGM series, not to mention the fact 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 Knocks on the Door".

In fact, it's not just "Knock on the Door", "Chainsaw 3" released in November, and "The Hangover 2" that will be released next year, such as James Wen, the director of the first part of "Chainsaw". The new horror film "The Conjuring" and so on, these projects are now handled by the company team led by David, and Daniel himself is rarely directly involved. "Forever" is his starring work, and as his film for the Olympics, he pays more attention, but more work is obviously done by James Mangold. He also paid more attention to Paul Walker's "Transformers", purely because the success of this film can completely establish a strong position for the film industry. On MGM's side, he also intervened very late in "Bad Teacher", and "High School Musical" has to do more, but for example, "Black Swan" or even "007: The Royal Family", he actually cared very little.

Lack of energy is a big problem, and it's impossible for any major studio to rely on the big boss to drive all the projects alone.

This is the trend after MGM.

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

"Finished?" Daniel looked at Sally uncertainly~www.novelmt.com~ He vaguely remembered that it seemed like this. But the finalization is an important juncture for the starring actors, directors and others, but not 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 distribution promotion planning and implementation, that is the busy start of the producers and distributors.

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

"you have seen?"

For Gabrić, the Italian director, it was not the leading choice of the film industry, but the recommendation of Will Smith. Even in order to invite Gabridge, who basically does not speak English, to direct, Will did a lot of work - and the film industry also deployed an additional working translator for him.

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

Daniel remembered that the team of "Knock on the Door with Happiness" was the same as the original, so he was not too worried about the film's changes - from a good film to garbage, and David's judgment made him more reassured.

"Okay, are they here?"

"An appointment has been made." (To be continued.)
