The shooting location of "Juno" was chosen in Vancouver, Canada. On the one hand, the shooting cost is only half of that of the United States. On the other hand, it is because the four seasons are like spring and the scenery is pleasant. story, Vancouver is an excellent choice.

​​

Vancouver is a very magical city. At the foot of the glacier-covered mountains are bays dotted with islands. The trees are shady and picturesque. The air of the whole city is filled with a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere.

​​

Compared with bustling and hurried cities like New York and Los Angeles, Vancouver has a taste of half-day leisure.

​​

Evan Bell strolled on the streets of the community. This is a well-established residential community. It can't be said to be a wealthy area. Most of them are middle class. There are small lawns at the door and tall maple trees are planted. The two-storey single-family villa design makes the road look very spacious. The flat and clean street is decorated with green shades and flowers. There is a slightly cold wind blowing on the head. You can smell the fishy smell of the sea breeze and the coldness of the glacier, but bring it with you. A little bit of spring warmth.

​​

Under this kind of environment, the whole person's mentality will settle down involuntarily, close your eyes, and use your hearing, smell and touch to feel the colorful surrounding, and the world will gradually quiet down.

​​

Evan Bell knows that he can't be impatient. Even if the actors and producers can be impatient, the director can't, because once the director becomes impatient and flustered, it will disrupt his entire thinking, which will be a devastating blow to the film. There is no problem with the script of the movie "Juno", nor is there any problem with the actors, but Evan Bell's own conception of the picture and style of the entire movie has been deviated. So what Evan Bell needs now is irritability, anger or dissatisfaction, but behind these negative emotions, it is calm.

​​

Evan Bell opened his eyes, slowed down his steps, enjoyed the sense of freedom that the sea breeze filled his khaki trench coat, emptied all his thoughts, and returned to the original setting.

​​

What idea does the script "Juno" come from, the courage to choose sunshine in the face of life's difficulties. There will always be countless unexpected arrivals in life. To put it in an ugly way, maybe today is a billionaire, taking countless family properties to achieve a private jet to go on vacation, but tomorrow will leave this world because of a plane crash. Therefore, although we should look to the future, but at the same time do not forget the present because of the future; although we should choose carefully, but at the same time do not shrink from the infinite possibilities of the future.

​​

Then sunshine and ease should be the keynote of the movie "Juno".

​​

What kind of girl was Juno, what kind of boy was Pauly, and what kind of relationship did they have under what circumstances made the pregnancy unexpectedly happen.

​​

The warm, sunny and soft scenery of Vancouver in the sight collages a beautiful picture in Evan Bell's mind. Evan Bell sketched it in his mind little by little. He put all the previous ideas and settings. Leave it all behind, let the story go back to where it started, and then gradually fill in the story with details. When the whole story frame was refilled with colorful pictures, Evan Bell stopped.

​​

He understood.

​​

Evan Bell understands what mistake he has made. Before that, Evan Bell has made several films in succession, all of which are relatively dark, including "Wild Survival", which is also a sad song. But "Juno" is not. This is a work that conveys positivity - even some extreme optimism - people's usual life is already hard enough, and there is really no need for another movie to tell everyone: Underage pregnancy is such a terrible thing, it may ruin your life; no need for such a movie to send a message: life is a big pit full of traps, you must be careful about your choices, otherwise Either get hurt here or die there. "Juno" would not play such a role.

​​

What "Juno" needs is a comic feeling that magnifies and even exaggerates optimism, "comic"! This is the message that suddenly came out of Evan Bell's mind. Why not magnify and exaggerate the details of the entire movie, convey a sense of comics, and even the tone of the entire movie, including the soundtrack, colors, The pictures can be caricatured, and then this positive sunshine is fully released.

​​

Therefore, what Evan Bell needs to do is not to blindly emphasize Juno's own personality, but to set the tone through the warm tones of the entire movie, and then release the emotions through dialogue and story rhythm, That's 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 dream all the way. On the road of this dream, full of thorns, perseverance, hard work, freedom and unrestrainedness are all necessary. factors, and optimism is one of them

​​

In fact, before this, "Little Sunshine" had conveyed the emotion of Evan Bell, and this time, "Juno" can be regarded as another work full of sunshine after "Little Sunshine", and Evan Bell also hopes that through this film, this sunshine will be given to the sixteen-year-old liveliness and playfulness of the two protagonists.

​​

Evan Bell stopped moving forward and began to walk back. The pictures that he put together in his mind became more and more clear. As his thoughts flowed, his pace became faster and faster. It turned into running all the way, and when he ran back to the crew, he was already out of breath.

​​

At this time, everyone in the crew was resting. Evan Bell had actually been away for nearly 2,000 minutes. No wonder he was tired when he ran back. It was probably a long run. The crew saw Evan Bell running back excitedly, and everyone was in a commotion. If it wasn't for the joy on Evan Bell's face, everyone thought that someone was chasing Evan Bell behind him. Woolen cloth.

​​

When Evan Bell returned to the crew, he sat down directly on the director's seat, and then found a sketchbook from his bag. Most of the sketchbooks were the cover designs of Evan Bell's released singles, and also There are sketches of sub-shots of works that occasionally shine. After Evan Bell opened a new page, he quickly began to paint on it.

​​

Ellen Page claimed to be not a curious person, but when she saw everyone gathered around, Evan Bell sat calmly in the middle, drawing something with her whole body, she was curious in the bottom of her heart. Just roll over. Ellen Page looked back at Michael Cera, who was sitting next to him, reading "Oil" intently. The two had a conversation just now. Obviously, it was because of Evan Bell's influence that Michael Sera started reading the original novel "Oil" adapted from "There Will Be Blood". At this time, Michael Cera seemed to have not felt the commotion of the crew, and was still engrossed in the novel in his hands.

​​

After hesitating for a while, Ellen Page stood up, didn't call Michael Cera, walked into the crowd and looked over.

​​

Since Teddy Bell was maintaining order, not everyone leaned over. Everyone just stood behind Evan Bell in a fan shape, which did not block Evan Bell's light. So Ellen-Page easily saw what Evan-Bell was drawing, and saw Evan-Bell's right hand quickly dancing on the sketchbook. At this time, the whole pattern had a clear outline, it was a piece of Round rug.

​​

The front end of the carpet is inlaid with a rectangular protruding part, which is a tiger head pattern; the circle behind it is like the tail of a peacock, which blooms proudly. Ellen Page thought of Juno when she first saw the pattern, and Juno would love this rug, in fact, she loved it too!

​​

Evan Bell tore up the sketchbook, wrote "bright brown" in the upper right corner, then raised his hand and waved it without even looking up. Teddy Bell took it directly, and after looking at it carefully, he turned around and started looking for someone to prepare the props, "It's hard to find what Evan wants, go to a second-hand store to see, a little retro effect will be better .

​​

"Teddy Bell knows nothing better about his brother's actions.

​​

Eden Hudson was also standing next to him. It was really difficult to temporarily prepare props. Of course, if you can't prepare it today, there is no problem in delaying the shooting of the scene for a few days. He thought for a while, then called Thomas Lansing, "Well, I'll send you an email with a picture right away. You can look in the second-hand stores in New York and Los Angeles to see if there is any." In today's technologically advanced case, this is indeed a lot more convenient.

​​

Thomas Lansing responded immediately, and then added, "Kurt is also in Vancouver now, and I asked him to look around the city~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Then, Evan Bell spent nearly two Ten minutes later, I drew a lot of sketches and handed them all to Teddy Bell for the props team to prepare. Evan Bell stood up again and stretched.

​​

Although the crew was busy at this time, most of them stayed where they were, and everyone communicated by phone. Then everyone heard Evan Bell's voice coming over, "Everyone pay attention." They were on the phone and hurriedly waited for a while, and when they turned around, Evan Bell continued, "I'm going to make a long story short. I'm sorry. , Because of my relationship, everyone has been busy, all the films shot in the previous three days are scrapped, and we have to start over. Again, I apologize again for my mistakes."

​​

Evan Bell's words silenced the scene, and everyone looked at Evan Bell seriously. Of course, the most unexpected thing is of course Ellen Page, Michael Cera and others who have just joined the crew. They saw Evan Bell for the first time when he was working on the crew. This dynamic and serious way of working is definitely 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 hurry up and put in their work, and prepare the props as soon as possible. If they are not ready within an hour, we will enter the shooting of another scene."
