The passing of a friend
Gaga recounted the death of her best friend in the American magazine "Entertainment Weekly": "My favorite, favorite, and favorite friend Sonia Durham died of cancer that day. I was still on the set that day. After filming, about 30 minutes later, I was going to sing the last song in the film: "I'll Never Love Again". Suddenly Sonya's husband called me and told me that she was going to be dying. I was on the phone. I can still hear Sonya’s voice. So I drove to her place immediately, but when I arrived, everything was too late. She left 15 minutes ago. I went and lay next to Sonya. , Accompanied her for a while with her husband, son, and her dog. When I returned to the crew, Cooper was very considerate of me, and we spent the sad period together. At that time, when I sang. At the end of this song, Cooper said to me: You don’t have to sing it again, it’s good enough. But then, the only thing I wanted to do was sing. I think I’ll never forget that day. It’s a special shot and I will remember that moment."
Never pretend to sing
Cooper said: "Gaga convinced me that we should sing on the scene . Because Gaga said she hates to see actors lip-synching to the music in the movie. In order not to fake singing, we need to sing on the scene for the show. "So this is why Cooper has done a lot of vocal training .
Guided by Lucas Nelson
In order to play the protagonist of the film, Jackson Maine, and improve his singing ability, he invited Lucas Nelson to guide him . Lucas may not be familiar to everyone, but his father is a very famous American country legend singer: Willie Hugh Lucas . In fact, Cooper knew Lucas at the "Desert Journey Music Festival". After watching Lucas' performance, Cooper invited Lucas to participate in the musical direction and production of the film. For a year, Lucas would be in the basement of Cooper's house every night, teaching Cooper to play the guitar, instructing Cooper on how to perform on stage, and perform like a real musician.
Kochila Festival
Some of the film shots were shot at the Corchera Music Festival in 2017 , and Gaga was also the first woman to sing at the Corchera Music Festival in the past ten years. People who came to the music festival paid $ 10 to watch the film . In addition, all the video equipment of the audience was not allowed to shoot. Of course, this was requested by the filming party for the confidentiality of the filming.
