“A Star Is Born” Audience and vocals are all real! Thoroughly focused on realism

Encounter with the main character of the 1976 version

Cooper then headed to Britain's Glastonbury Festival (a large-scale outdoor rock festival that started in 1970), where he also borrowed the stage for four minutes to film Jackson's live performance. And surprisingly, Kris Kristofferson, who played the male lead, John Norman Howard, in 1976's A Star Is Born, was in attendance. What's more, it was Kristofferson's turn to appear immediately after filming Bradley Cooper's stage performance, and Cooper felt truly honored to be in charge of introducing Kristofferson to the audience after he finished singing.

At the Coachella festival, which takes place in the California desert, the opening band had to cancel a few weeks before the actual festival, so I had the good fortune to have Lady Gaga perform there for a photo shoot.

In addition, the Shrine Auditorium, which was once the venue for the Grammy and Academy Award ceremonies, was used to film the concert scenes for A Star Is Born, as well as the venue where Tony Bennett and Neil Diamond were filmed. Famous concert venues in Los Angeles were used for filming, including the Greek Theater, an outdoor stage where live performances were held, and The Forum, a huge arena where sports were also held. Tickets for each venue were on sale, and many of Lady Gaga's fans purchased them (the proceeds were donated by Gaga to the Born This Way Foundation, which supports youth rights, equality, and the eradication of bullying). At the Greek Theater, Gaga even had a surprise performance for fans who stayed after filming, including an impromptu performance on the piano and singing her hit songs.

And the thing that had the highest hurdle in terms of being realistic was probably Bradley Cooper's vocals. Filming was carried out with the belief that ``live scenes must be performed on the spot,'' and his wonderful singing voice is shown in the movie, which was due to 6 months of vocal training, 5 days a week. This is the result of receiving. Lady Gaga's personal coach also coached Cooper.

By the way, when Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper met for the first time, they got so excited that they improvised a duet while Gaga played the piano. At that moment, Gaga realized Bradley's latent singing talent and was convinced that the album would be a success.

Numbers that match the drama and standards that capture hearts
