Chapter 63 Contact her!

"Strange Yang: Where is Juno?" This is the title of the latest episode of the Los Angeles Times entertainment edition. It also comes with a photo of Wang Yang looking around when he was walking away from the dog. He seemed to be looking for something. This photo is Cole's masterpiece. He now has a nickname for "Wang Yang Photo Album" in the industry. He has a large number of photos of Wang Yang on hand, and has all kinds of expressions. Now, the media's information about Wang Yang is almost all provided by Cole.

The report said: "From nearly a month since we learned about the plan for "Juno" by Miracle Young, the candidate for Juno has not been decided yet. Many people think that Juno will be played by Jessica Alba or Rachel McAdams, but not. They seem to have been kicked out early in the morning. At first, everyone thought it was a schedule issue, but now it seems that this is not the case. It is understood that this young director has interviewed dozens of well-known female stars and thousands of new girls, and obviously he has nothing to do with it."

"Juno's candidate is in a dilemma. What kind of girl is Shen Qiyang looking for? What kind of girl is Juno? Who will become Juno?"

In the study, Wang Yang was distracted and fiddling with the cartoon plastic doll of "Singing and Dance" on the desktop. This is a peripheral product launched in cooperation with a toy company. The sales volume is pretty good. Although he can't make much money, he can increase influence and cultivate hardcore movie fans of Flame Movie. He picked up a brown-haired cartoon doll and looked at her smiling face. He felt a little more annoyed, smiled slightly, and then put it down.

The search for Juno was indeed in a dilemma, and it can be said that there was no progress, which also made Wang Yang gradually troubled by this. If Juno could not be found, it would be meaningless to find other actors first. However, in these days, he interviewed countless girls, not the thousands of people mentioned by the Los Angeles Times, but more than three thousand people. Every day, he inspected hundreds of different types of young girls. The job was pleasing to the eye at the beginning to the boringness of the later. There was no Juneau among the more than three thousand girls, and the number of auditions in the past two days was greatly reduced every day, and hope was getting slim.

Wang Yangfa was stunned for a while, and looked at the time. At the speed of Jessica's usual dinner, it would take about half an hour. He looked at the computer screen, held the mouse and opened a script document called "When Happiness Comes Knock on the Door". The script of "Juno" has been initially written, of course it is just the first draft. As time goes by, every day, the daily thoughts and ideas change, he will make detailed modifications to the script, or even major changes until he is most satisfied.

However, Wang Yang doesn't want to pay attention to the script of "Juno". Now when he mentions "Juno", the thousands of girls appearing in front of him are vague, as if they are playing slides quickly. He feels about to be crazy. So he decided to write the script of "When Happiness Comes Knocking" first. Except for Jessica, he has not told anyone that he is planning to finish "Juno" first and then produce "When Happiness Comes Knocking". The problem now is that "Singing and Dance 2" is about to start filming in early September, and the heroine of "Juno" is not suitable for her.

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

When he typing this sentence, Wang Yang couldn't help but smile and remembered Harry George's words, "You must fail! We are such people, losers!" He smiled and continued to typing on the keyboard: "If you have a dream, you have to defend it and work hard to realize it. That's it." The fat man is living a good life now. He became Vale Fist's assistant as he wishes, and can do what he likes every day.

The study was very quiet, with only the sound of typing on the keyboard. Just as Wang Yang was immersed in the script of "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door", his cell phone suddenly rang. Wang Yang took it out and saw that it was Mark Slunt's. He frowned and connected the channel: "Mark, is there anything wrong?"

"Yang, I sent something to your mailbox, look." Mark Slunt's voice was very serious, and he said again: "This matter is very urgent."

"What's the matter?" Wang Yang looked disbelief. This guy always said something urgent, but it didn't take a few times. He logged in to his email address and downloaded the picture file sent by Mark Slunt. He clicked on it and was stunned and laughed: "What?! Mark, what did you do to me with her photos?"

Mark Slunt chuckled and said, "Did you see it? These stills are all movies released in September in "The World of Hearts". He asked seriously, "How is it? Isn't she like a high school student? Don't have temperament?"

Looking at Natalie Portman on the screen, she was wearing a baseball cap and a lively smile on her face, which had to be said to be very elegant. Wang Yang held the mouse silently and looked around. When "Juno" was not Allen Page, no matter who she wanted to act, her style would definitely change. The stylist and artistic director designed it according to each person's different characteristics. Natalie Portman's long hair draped over her shoulders looked mature and quiet; but when she put on a ponytail and bangs, and then she looked very young and young, and she felt like Juno.

With Natalie's genius acting skills, it might be great for her to play Juno... But Wang Yang stood up, walked towards the balcony, and said decisively: "Mark, forget it, don't think about this, I'll tell you clearly, I won't consider Natalie Portman's."

"Why?" Mark Slunt asked with a funny look.

Wang Yang stood at the balcony door, looking at the sky that was almost dark, and said, "Why? You know." He had a rumor with Natalie Portman for some reason, such as spreading love from a distance, and expressing love. "Natalie is my dream"... The problem is that the review in the school magazine was indeed written by him. Even if he is with Jessica now, everyone thinks that he had been crazy about Natalie Portman, and the room was covered with posters and so on.

If "Juno" invites Natalie to star in it now? It doesn't matter that the gossip media will definitely mention the outrageous scandal again, saying that he has no love for Natalie, and it makes a serious case.

But he doesn't care about these things. Maybe it will increase the attention of "Juno". Moreover, scandals are scandals. It is not true, and it will always end. The reason why he really refused clearly was Jessica.

My boyfriend is looking for a girl who has a scandal with him to shoot a movie together? Why do you have to look for her? You can’t find someone else? Whether it’s a job or a movie, no matter what the reason is, no matter which girl is facing this situation, she may start arguing on the spot.

Why he wanted to film "Juno" was precisely because of the pregnancy oolong incident with Jessica. Juno was their "daughter". He didn't want "Juno's mother" Jessica to misunderstand and feel uncomfortable, and didn't want to do anything. So he wouldn't consider Natalie Portman, even if she was suitable.

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

"My boss, you really can't do this!" Mark Slunt sighed helplessly and anxiously, "I know you are afraid that your little girlfriend will misunderstand, but can't you explain it? I think Jessica will understand."

Walking to the railing of the balcony, Wang Yang looked at the bright kitchen downstairs. He smiled warmly and said, "No need to explain, this will hurt her anyway, that's my girlfriend!" And he almost got married this month. He smiled and said, "I don't want her to have any misunderstandings and discomforts. She is uncomfortable, and I feel even more uncomfortable. You have a family and a wife, you should understand. I want her to be happy, otherwise I won't be happy if the movie succeeds."

"I promise you that this will not hurt anyone, it's just a movie." Mark Slunt also wanted to persuade him, saying, "My wife can understand this. The key is communication. You can give it a try." Wang Yang said frankly: "No, no need to say it, I'm ready to quit." Mark Slunt was a little crazy and took a breath, saying, "Yang, you're too immature this time!"

"Okay, I'm just immature. I'm only 19 years old. Why do I want to be mature?" Wang Yang laughed in a scoundrel tone. After laughing a few times, he said seriously: "Mark, I admit that Natalie is suitable for Juno; but one thing she is the most unsuitable is the same sentence, she will make my girlfriend angry. Man, Natalie is not the only one in this world who can act. I would rather interview ten thousand people and go to England and Italy to not be sad. Just like that. Bye, Mark, continue to prepare for tomorrow's audition!"

Mark Slunt said helplessly: "Okay, you are such a good boyfriend."

"You're right, I'm trying to be that kind of person." Wang Yang smiled and pressed to finish the call, turning back to the room while putting his phone back to his pocket, but he turned around and was stunned. Jessica stood not far ahead with a smile on his face. He was silent for a moment and smiled as if nothing had happened: "Hi, Jessica." He strode back to the computer, turned off Natalie's picture, and then dragged it into the retraction station.

Jessica walked over and said softly: "Yang, the dinner is ready." Wang Yang said "Okay", and was about to click to clean the recycling bin. His hand was pressed by Jessica. She smiled and shook her head, controlled the mouse to restore the picture. She remembered what Wang Yang said just now, and her heart beat very fast, full of love. She said softly: "I heard it all."

"Oh." Wang Yang shrugged, not knowing what to say, and smiled before saying, "Fortunately, I'm not saying bad things about you."

Jessica smiled toothfully, holding the mouse and opening the picture. She looked at Natalie Portman wearing a baseball cap on the screen. Thinking of the Juno requirement that Wang Yang mentioned these days, she smiled and said, "It looks very much like Juno, Yang, contact her!"

"Don't worry about this." Wang Yang snatched the mouse, dragged the picture back into the trash can and deleted it all, dragged Jessica's hand out of the room, and smiled and said, "Dinner time. Jessie, is there a pumpkin pie tonight, right?"

Jessica did not answer his question, and stood there and refused to leave. She looked at Wang Yang who turned around and said seriously: "Yang, I won't be angry, I won't be unhappy. I have confidence in our relationship, and I definitely believe in you!" Her eyes were full of tenderness and said: "I am your girlfriend, I won't care about the scandal between you and Natalie, because I know it's not true; I care about you, Yang, you don't want to see me uncomfortable, but I don't want to see you uncomfortable either."

She knew that for the sake of Juno's candidate, Wang Yang scratched his head during this period, and he has been even more boring in recent days. She felt very worried about this, but she couldn't help much, but now there is a good candidate. She looked at Wang Yang and said again: "Contact Natalie, Yang."

"Jessica, thank you." Wang Yang smiled slightly and said, "But I really don't want to have scandals..." Jessica frowned, interrupted him, and said imperatively: "Contact her!" Wang Yang was stunned. Jessica frowned and walked forward, reached out to take out his cell phone into his pocket, immediately pressed a number in the address book, called, and said, "Hello, Mr. Slunt, Yang asked me to tell you, contact Natalie Portman. Well, bye!"

Wang Yang covered her forehead and looked at her and laughed. Jessica hung up the phone, showed a sweet smile on her face, put the phone back in his pocket, spread her hands and smiled, "Okay, it's done." Wang Yang smiled and dragged her hand, walked out, and said, "Let's have it!"

After having a happy dinner, Wang Yang and Jessica leaned on the sofa to watch TV, but soon received a call from Mark Slunt. As if they were afraid that Wang Yang would regret it, he quickly contacted Natalie Portman's agent. Jessica held the remote control and lowered the volume of the TV. Wang Yang put one hand around her waist, holding the phone in front of her ear, listening to Mark Slunt: "Yang, I have contacted him. Natalie Portman said that she is not interested and she wants to concentrate on going to school."

"Haha!" Wang Yang couldn't help but smile, and felt relieved, because from a calm and rational perspective, he could not convince himself that Natalie could not play Juno; but from an emotional perspective, he really didn't want to work with Natalie. Fortunately, the matter has been resolved now! He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, right? I'm going to continue looking for someone."

Jessica next to her frowns when she heard this. Wang Yang smiled at her, but then heard Mark Slunt laughing and said, "Hey, my boss, I haven't finished my words yet. Natalie's attitude is not very firm. She agrees to have a telephone conversation with you, and now. I'll send you a text message to her number." After a pause, Mark said in a serious tone: "Yang, you have to convince her."

Listening to Jessica laughed again. She patted Wang Yang on the shoulder, stood up and walked towards the kitchen, and smiled and said, "Yang, come on, I'll go pack the tableware."

Wang Yang shrugged, half lying on the sofa, looking at the number sent by Mark Slunt, read it twice and remembered it, opened it, looked at the program on the TV screen, and said, "Hi, hello, is it Miss Natalie Portman? Well, I am Wang Yang."

Natalie Portman's voice came from there, and she said lightly: "Hi, Mr. Wang." After saying hello, Wang Yang said directly to his phone: "Miss Portman, I want to invite you to star in "Juno"." Natalie immediately responded: "Mr. Wang, it's September soon, I'm going to study at Harvard. I hope to enjoy university well and have a normal growth trajectory."

She said again: "But I like those interesting and meaningful stories very much. Some stories can make me desperate. But to be honest, I am not interested in stories like "Singing and Dance Youth". If it is an ordinary campus story, wouldn't it be better if I experience it directly in college? What do you think? Mr. Wang."

"Yeah." Wang Yang answered her. Natalie's meaning was obvious. If "Juno" is like "Singing and Dance", don't bother her. He organized it and said, "I understand very well, Miss Portman, let me talk about the general content of "Juno". Juno is a very casual, self-decisive 16-year-old girl. One day she was probably bored and decided to have sex with a young man in a track and field team, Poly, and then she became pregnant..."

Next, he told the story of "Juno", and Natalie listened quietly over there. When he finished speaking, she asked, "What do you want to shoot this story?"

Wang Yang sat down and began to become serious, saying to her: "Pregnancy is just an opportunity. Juno faced various changes. On the one hand, she entered the world of adults and saw the values ​​of the adopted couple; on the other hand, she was still having a story with Poly on the young and immature campus. Poly is very immature, but he also has things that adults don't have. During this pregnancy, Juno learned a lot, she thought a lot, and her mentality experienced changes..."

After he finished speaking again, Natalie seemed to say "Oh" with interest. She was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Wang, I would like to see the complete script. Only when I see this story in full will I know if I am really interested."

Wang Yang laughed and said, "Of course." Many things need to be explained clearly during the interview. He also had to see whether Natalie Portman was really suitable for Juno. This was a process of mutual investigation. Hearing Natalie was silent over there, Wang Yang had nothing to say, and said, "So, goodbye." The rest was to tell her agent, arrange the meeting time, and the location was naturally New York, so he had to fly over.

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