Chapter 55 Preparations for Juno
(Thank you for your support, give me some more effort!!)
Jason Reitman is the original director of "Juno", a young man born in 1977, who is only 20 years old now. If you guess well, should he play on the set with his director's father, Ivan Reitman?
Ike didn't want to kill him directly, so he let this young man who later exported the famous movie "In the Clouds" come over to be an assistant director or executive director for himself.
Ike told people to find Jason Retmann to not mention it. He is now facing Anne Hathaway and his daughter. Hathaway's mother, Kate McGolly, is a singer and stage actor. Frankly speaking, although McGolly is in her 40s, she still looks charming.
Perhaps because of her mother's inheritance, Hathaway showed her talent in acting since she was a child. She has a bright smile, elegant and upright temperament, and a little naughty and cute. She was later hailed as a complex of "Julia Roberts and Audrey Hepburn".
Perhaps due to the influence of Eastern and Western cultures, Chinese otaku has always been less interested in big-mouthed beauties, especially those with thicker lips, such as Angelina Jolie, Roberts, and of course Hathaway.
On the contrary, they have a lot of feelings about those who look delicate and sweet, such as Alba, Avril, Scarlett Johnson, etc.
"Ms. Kate, I didn't expect you to accompany Anne. Our company staff did not explain to you the meaning of our invitation to Miss Anne?" Ike said with a smile to the mother and daughter in front of him.
Hathaway smiled embarrassedly, then turned to look at her mother.
"Oh, Mr. Ike, don't get me wrong. The 3D company staff told us very clearly. However, Anne has never been to Hollywood since she was so old, so I want to accompany her this time. Mr. Ike, don't worry, I settle her and go back to New York." Kate said without any hassle.
Ike thought for a while and said, it was human nature. "You are so polite, Ms. Kate, I am very welcome to your arrival."
"Thank you," Kate said, "but I have a question, like asking Mr. Ike."
"May I ask?" said Ike.
"Annie has never participated in any public performances, you...you...how could you find her? Although he has loved acting since he was a child," Kate asked in confusion.
This is a difficult question to answer. Ike shrugged and started making up lies. "Well... Ms. Kate, you know. As a film company, we also have our own scouts, uh... Annie should have interned at the Papermill Theater in New Jersey. She has a performance that has been open to the public... So...haha..." Ike said, putting his hands here.
"You're talking about the time she won the 'Best High School Performance Award'"?" Kate asked with a smile, apparently she was proud of it.
"Yes, that's it this time." Ike down the slope.
Kate and Anne looked at each other and smiled. Anne said to her mother, "I told you that this performance might be watched by a scout."
Ike wiped his face and thought to himself, where is it?
"Mr. Ike, are you looking for Annie to shoot a new movie?" Kate said, stroking Annie's hair.
"Haha, that's it. I want to ask Miss Anne a question." Ike turned his gaze to Anne's face.
"Okay, Director Ike." Annie sat upright.
"What do you think of a girl as old as you are pregnant? Well... For example, this girl is a good friend of you." Ike asked seriously.
"Oh," you were stunned when Ike asked, and Kate next to her was also stunned. Her face turned slightly red, and then hesitated for a while, "This... this... I don't know, but I will at least comfort this friend of mine."
"What if this happened to you?" Ike continued to ask.
"I." Annie's face turned redder. "Haha, I don't know, Director Ike." She shook her head, "It's hard for me to imagine."
"Will you be fine...will you choose to have an abortion?" Ike hesitated for a moment and then asked.
"No, never." Anne said suddenly instinctively, "Although I don't know why? But I won't do that."
Ike nodded and asked Kalyn, "What would you think if this happened to Anne."
Kalyn frowned slightly, then curled her lips, "Mr. Ike, do you want to shoot a movie in this regard?"
Ike nodded and said, "Yes."
"Frankly speaking, if this happened in our home, well... I also know how to deal with it for a while, but I'm sure of one thing, I will always support my daughter's decision." After that, she looked at Anne, and the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.
Ike lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Ms. Kate, can you have more than 20 days?"
"What's up?"
"I want to invite you to play. Anne's mother in the play, this is also considered a true performance." Ike said sincerely.
"Wow." Annie was excited at first, "Mom is so nice."
Kate smiled, "Really? I mean, don't you need an audition? For us mother and daughter?"
"Haha." Ike stood up and smiled, "I think I've finished trying."
Ike had made the decision at this time, with Anne Hathaway playing Juno and Alba playing her best friend.
Although Ike knew that from the appearance, Anne was not the best candidate, Alan Page looked so cute. But she was only 10 years old now and was still far away in Canada. At present, at least in terms of age, Anne was the best choice.
Perhaps, he could not make the best "Juno" in history, but he still had confidence in bringing two nameless little girls to the audience's favorite of 45.

After determining the roles of the two little loli, Ike guided Cote to hurry up and write the script according to his own ideas, while sending an interview invitation to find the candidates to play the male lead Poly in the play.
Jason Retman, who had already met Ike, happily accepted the position arranged by Ike. At the beginning, Ike wanted Jason to play this role, executive director and male lead. However, Jason showed a mature face. Although he was only 20 years old, he still looked a little big when standing with two little loli, so Ike had to give up.
Of course, Ike has seen Anne Hathaway's data. Although he believes Anne must meet the conditions, he still paid attention to it for insurance.
Anne Hathaway: Appearance, 72. Charm, 28, acting, 29. Audience favorite, 12, media attention, 16....Funny, 26!
Frank heart, 26 was something Eck didn't expect. You should know that Anne is only 15 years old now. Haha, it seems that this is a precocious girl.
However, since Ike saw Sharon Stone's 95 fickleness, he has become very calm about others.
The male actor tried one after another, but there was no suitable one. Ike really didn't expect that Xiao Zheng was so difficult to give birth. Ike's requirements were actually very simple, more immature, and more vague about men and women, but he had to be able to perform.
The handsome men who came were either pure and immature, commonly known as "melon eggs"! Or they were just "lack eggs" of "length", which gave people a feeling of "numerous girls" and some even had images of naked women tattooed on their arms. When Ike saw this, he would directly say, "Go out and turn left." Farke, I was looking for a high school student, not a little gangster!
Just when Ike was worried, he walked into the audition room that day and was a handsome boy with a small face and a small tall figure.
"Hello, Mr. Ike, this is my information." The boy said politely, looking neither humble nor arrogant.
Wow, what a little Shota! Ike had a great first impression of him. However, his accent was not very similar to that of the American natives.
Ike picked up the information of this guy and glanced at him. Hum? James McAvoy? Ike carefully checked it again. Yes, it was him. The future male lead of "Assassin League", and he also starred in "The First Fight of the X-Men" in the future...
