1803 Courage to admit mistakes

The first update today, please recommend it, please subscribe!

The shooting location of "Juno" was chosen in Vancouver, Canada. On the one hand, the shooting cost is almost half that of the United States, and on the other hand, it is because the seasons here are like spring and the scenery is pleasant. Vancouver is a very outstanding choice for such a warm and positive story.

Vancouver is a very magical city. At the foot of the mountains covered with glaciers are bays decorated with islands. The trees are shaded and the scenery is picturesque. The air of the whole city is filled with a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Compared to a bustling and hurrying city like New York and Los Angeles, Vancouver has a taste of having a half-day leisure life.

Evan Bell strolls on the streets of the community. This is a very well-built residential community. It is not a rich area. Most of them are middle-class. There are small lawns at the entrance and tall maple trees are planted. The two-story single-family villa design makes the road look spacious. The flat and clean street is decorated with green flowers. The slightly cold wind blows towards you. You can smell the fishy smell of the sea breeze and the coldness of the glaciers, but it brings a little warmth of spring.

In this environment, the whole person's mentality will involuntarily settle down. Close your eyes and use your hearing, smell and touch to feel the colorful surroundings, and the world gradually becomes quiet.

Evan Bell knew that he could not be impatient. Even if the actors and producers could be impatient, the director could not, because once the director was impatient, it would disrupt his entire thinking, which would be a blow to destruction for the movie. The script of "Juno" was not problem with the actors, but Evan Bell himself had a deviation in his conception of the entire movie picture and style. So what Evan Bell needs now is irritability, anger and dissatisfaction, but behind these negative emotions, it is calm.

Evan Bell opened his eyes, slowed down his pace, enjoying the freedom of the sea breeze filling his khaki windbreaker, clearing all his thoughts. Return to the original setting.

What is the idea of ​​the script "Juno"? The courage to choose the sunshine in the face of difficulties in life. Life will always come in countless unexpected situations. To put it bluntly, maybe today is still a billionaire, taking countless property to achieve a private jet on vacation, but tomorrow you will leave the world because of a plane crash. Therefore, you should look forward to the future, but at the same time, don't forget the present because of the future; you should make careful choices. But at the same time, don't shrink your hands because of the endless possibilities of the future.

Then sunshine should be the tone of the movie "Juno".

What kind of girl is Juno, what kind of boy is Poly, and what kind of situation they had sex, which led to an unexpected accident of pregnancy.

The warm, sunny and soft scenery of Vancouver were collaged in Evan Bell's mind, and Evan Bell outlined it bit by bit. He threw all his previous thoughts and settings behind him. Let the story return to the origin, and then gradually filled the story with details. When the entire story frame was filled with colorful pictures again, Evan Bell stopped.

He understood.

Evan Bell understood what mistake he made. Before that, Evan Bell filmed several movies in succession, which were relatively dark, including "Survival in the Wild" as a tragic song. But "Juno" is not, this is a work that conveys positive and even extreme optimism. People's daily lives are already hard enough, and there is no need to tell everyone another movie: how terrible it is to get pregnant underage. Maybe it will ruin your life; there is no need for such a movie to convey a message: life is a big pit full of traps, you must be careful about your choice, otherwise you will either be injured here or die there. "Juno" will not play such a role.

What "Juno" needs is a comic feeling that expands optimism or even exaggerates, "comics"! This is the message that suddenly came out of Evan Bell's mind. Why not magnify and exaggerate the details of the entire movie, conveying a comic feeling, and even the tone of the entire movie, including the soundtrack, color, and picture, can be comically portrayed, and then completely release this positive sunshine.

So what Evan Bell needs to do is not just emphasize Juno's own personality. Instead, it should set the tone through the warm tones of the entire movie. Then release the emotions through dialogue and story rhythm, which is what the director needs to do.

In fact, Evan Bell himself is a very optimistic person, otherwise he would not be able to stick to his dreams all the way. On this dream road, full of thorns, perseverance, hard work, freedom and freedom, and unruly are all necessary factors, and positive and optimistic are also one of them.

In fact, before this, Evan Bell's emotions were conveyed from the "Little Sunshine Beauty". This time, "Juno" can be regarded as another sunny work after the "Little Sunshine Beauty". Evan Bell also hopes to give this sunshine to the two protagonists' lively and playfulness of the sixteen-year-old protagonists.

Evan Bell stopped moving forward and began to walk back. The pictures he put together in his mind became clearer and clearer. As the thoughts surged, his pace became faster and faster. In the end, it turned into a running all the way. When he ran back to the crew, he was already out of breath.

At this time, the crew was resting. Evan Bell had actually left for nearly twenty minutes. No wonder he was tired when he ran back. It was probably a long-distance run. The crew saw Evan Bell running back with an excited look on his face, and everyone was in agitation. If it weren't for the joy on Evan Bell's face, everyone would have thought someone was chasing Evan Bell behind him.

When Evan Bell returned to the crew, she sat down directly in the director's seat and then found the sketchbook from her bag. Most of the sketchbooks were cover designs for Evan Bell's singles, and occasionally a brief picture of the storyboards. After Evan Bell turned on a brand new page, she quickly began to depict them on it.

Alan Paige claimed that he was not a person with high curiosity, but when he saw everyone surrounding him, Evan Bell sat calmly in the middle, drawing something with all his body, and the curiosity in her heart rolled up like this. Alan Paige looked back at Michael Cera sitting next to him, and he was reading "oil". The two people had a conversation just now. Obviously, it was because of Evan Bell that Michael Cera began to read the original novel "oil" adapted from "Blood Color". At this time, Michael Cera seemed to have not felt the riots in the crew, and was still fully focused on the novel in his hands.

After hesitating for a moment, Allen Paige stood up, did not call Michael Serra, walked into the crowd and looked over.

Because Teddy Bell was maintaining order, not everyone leaned over. Everyone was just standing in a fan shape behind Evan Bell, which did not block Evan Bell's light. So Allen Page easily saw what Evan Bell was depicting. Evan Bell's right hand was dancing quickly on the sketchbook. At this time, the whole pattern had already appeared a clear outline, which was a circular carpet.

The front end of the carpet is inlaid with a rectangular protruding part, which is a tiger's head pattern; the circle behind it is like a peacock's tail spreading, blooming proudly. Alan Peggy thought of Juno when he saw this pattern at first sight. Juno must like this carpet, but in fact, she also likes it!

Evan Bell tore off the sketchbook, wrote a "bright brown" in the upper right corner, then raised his hand and waved it, without even looking up. Teddy Bell took it directly, then looked carefully, and then turned around and started looking for someone to prepare props. "The one Evan wants is probably not easy to find. Go to a second-hand store to see it. It will be a bit retro effect." Teddy Bell really understands his younger brother's actions.

Eden Hudson also stood beside him. It was indeed very difficult to prepare props temporarily. Of course, if you can't prepare today, it would be fine if the scene was postponed for a few days. He thought about it and called Thomas Lansing, "Well, I'll send you an email for a picture right away. You can look for second-hand stores in New York and Los Angeles to see if there is any." With the current advanced technology, this is indeed much more convenient.

Thomas Lansing responded immediately, and added, "Cotter is also in Vancouver now, so I asked him to look around the city."

Then, Evan Bell spent nearly twenty minutes drawing a lot of sketches, and handed them all over to Teddy Bell, and asked the props group to prepare. Evan Bell then stood up again and stretched.

Although the crew was busy at this time, most of them were in the same place, and everyone was communicating on the phone. Then everyone heard Evan Bell's voice coming, "Everyone pay attention." He was calling and waiting. Looking back, Evan Bell continued, "I'm going to tell a long story. Sorry, because of my relationship, everyone was busy. All the films filmed in the previous three days were invalidated. We must start over. Again, I apologize for my mistake again."

Evan Bell's words made the scene silent, and everyone looked at Evan Bell seriously. Of course, the most surprising thing was naturally Allen Page, Michael Serra and others who had just joined the crew. This was the first time they saw Evan Bell's situation when he was working on the crew. Evan Bell's dynamic, serious and profound way of working can definitely be said to be refreshing. You must know that the director is the authority of the crew, and not all directors have the courage to directly admit their mistakes.

After Evan Bell finished speaking, he clapped his hands and encouraged everyone, "Now everyone should work quickly and prepare props as soon as possible. Within an hour, if they are not ready, we will enter the shooting of another scene."
