Behind-the-scenes production of electronic love

After watching the classic old film "Shop on the Corner" in the 1940s, executive producer Julie Durk came up with the idea of remaking the film. She found the producer lauren shuler donner, and interested Donna immediately contacted Turner Film Company, which produced The Corner Shop, and soon obtained the right to edit and film.

Nora Iverson and Delia Iverson are successful film sisters. They have been interested in the shop on the corner for a long time. After learning about the shooting plan of this film, they are very willing to be the director and screenwriter of this film.

In the corner shop, James Stuart and Margaret Sullavan developed from pen pals to lovers. In this movie, their modern version is netizens, and the Internet has become an important background of the movie story. This trendy idea was conceived by producer Donner. She said: "You can freely disclose your privacy online, and you won't feel uneasy because we are strangers. I think the network can not only let you know each other better, but also develop the relationship much faster than face-to-face contact in reality. " Of course, there are many clear rules for online communication, and most people will abide by them. For example, if you can't reveal your true identity, you can not only save yourself, but also speak freely.

Nora Iverson said: "The Internet looks endless, but just like a metropolis, it is made up of a series of communities, and everyone is related." It feels like the Upper West Side of new york in Nora's eyes, where the movie story takes place. Upper West Side is a unique community with a long history in new york, which is full of historical landmarks and prosperous buildings. Among them, the small shop has a history of several decades, the owner knows the names of all customers, and every restaurant has become a part of people's life rules. At the same time, new apartment buildings and business districts are constantly emerging, vying for space and attention. As long-term residents of the Upper West Side, the Evelyn sisters are too familiar with this place, and they try to show a multifaceted Upper West Side.

Delia Iverson changed the grocery store in the corner shop and let the story revolve around two bookstores. She said: "Bookstores have long been more than just places to buy books. People can stay in bookstores for a long time by reading, drinking coffee and dating. " The two bookstores in the film are completely different. "Corner Bookstore" is a small-scale children's bookstore, with knowledgeable and book-loving clerks and lovely shopkeepers. They also host story time, which not only wins the love of small customers, but also is an important part of the community. Fox Bookstore is a new member of the huge chain book industry. It not only has a wider bibliography and favorable price, but also provides coffee, which is suitable for customers of all ages and has a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

In order to make the film have a unique new york flavor, production designer Dan Davis decided to give up the studio and shoot live in new york. The two bookstores in the film are indeed built on the streets of Manhattan, and the storefront of Fox Bookstore is enough to confuse the real with the fake. Passers-by even asked the crew when the new bookstore would open.

As early as Sleepless in Seattle, director Nora Iverson worked with Tom Hanks and meg ryan, and Iverson was excited about their cooperation again. She said: "I always have them in my mind, and I can't help thinking of them when I write comedies, because they are so excellent that there are not many actors suitable for comedies, let alone wonderful performances." Also, you know, many couples are husband and wife. Although Tom and Meg are not husband and wife, they are the same, which is very helpful to show the emotional relationship of the characters. "
