LOOKING AT A NEWMAN.

A MAN THAT'S HAPPY TO BE HERE.

EXCELLENT.

VERY EASY TO WORK WITH.

YOU'RE GOING TO PLAY THE SET LIST?

HAPPY TO.

EVEN THOUGH I DON'T THINK ANYONE

CARES WHAT I PLAY.

IF BY ANYONE YOU MEAN ANYONEOTHER THAN ME,

THAT WOULD BE CORRECT.

I care and I don't want to hear the free jazz

RIGHT.

OKAY.

ALTHOUGH, I THOUGHT IN THIS TOWN

IT WORKED ON A SORT OF

ONE FOR YOU, ONE FOR ME BASIS TYPE SYSTEM.

HOW ABOUT TWO FOR YOU, ONE FOR ME?

HOW ABOUT -- ALL FOR YOU AND NONE FOR ME?

THAT'S PERFECT, YES.

GREAT.

OKAY.

OKAY, MUTUAL DECISION THEN.

RIGHT, MADE BY ME.

RIGHT.

AND I SIGN OFF ON IT.

WHATEVER.

TELL YOURSELF WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW

Jimmy: THAT IS "LALA LAND."

I MENTIONED, AND I DO MEAN IT,

YOU DID A GREAT JOB.

EMMA STONE IS FANTASTIC IN THE MOVIE.

THE WHOLE MOVIE IS JUST REALLY,

REALLY, REALLY GOOD.

THANK YOU, JIMMY.

Jimmy: YOUR PIANO PLAYING IN

THE MOVIE, I WAS WATCHING YOU,

I FELT LIKE IT MUST BE A TRICK.

AS FAR AS I KNEW YOU DIDN'T PLAY

THE PIANO BUT YOU'RE REALLY

PLACE IT IN THE MOVIE.

>> YEP.

>> Jimmy: WELL.

THANK YOU.

Jimmy: YOU'RE WELCOME.

BUT THAT IS -- I DON'T KNOW WHY

I FIND THAT MIND-BOGGLING.

BUT YOU SHOULDN'T BE LIKE -- YOU

SHOULDN'T LOOK LIKE THIS AND BE

ABLE TO DO THAT.

IT'S TOO MUCH.

IT'S TOO MUCH, YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR.

I'M SORRY.

Jimmy: HOW HARD DID YOU PRACTICE?

I MEAN, WAS IT NONSTOP?

IT'S NOT JUST

Jimmy: IT'S GOOD PIANO PLAYING.

THE DIRECTOR WANTED TO SHOOT

ALL OF THE -- IN THE TRADITION

OF THE OLD MUSICALS, FRED AND

GINGER, GENE KELLY, THAT STYLE,

THEY WOULD DO ALL THEIR NUMBERS

IN ONE SHOT GENERALLY OR TRY TO.

IT GIVES YOU A FEELING AS AN

AUDIENCE LIKE YOU'RE WATCHING A

HIGH WIRE ACT.

THIS COULD GO SOUTH AT ANY SECOND.

THERE'S NO FANCY EDITING.

IT INVESTS YOU IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

Jimmy: THERE'S LITERALLY NO EDITING.

IF YOU WANT TO SHOOT ALL

THESE THINGS IN ONE SHOT.

A FEW OF THOSE, WE DID DANCE

NUMBERS IN ONE SHOT,

BUT THE ONE THING FOR ME WAS THAT I HAD TO

PLAY THE WHOLE THEME OF THE MOVIE

ON THE PIANO IN ONE TAKE.

Jimmy: WITHOUT SCREWING UP.

WITHOUT MESSING UP.

Jimmy: IS THAT A TREMENDOUS

AMOUNT OF PRESSURE?

I THINK --

BECAUSE IT WAS MY FIRST DAY?

YES.

Jimmy: YOUR VERY FIRST DAY OF SHOOTING

YES.

Jimmy: YOU HAD TO DO THAT

YEAH.

Jimmy: THAT IS CRAZY.

I WOULD HAVE SCREWED THAT UP SO

MANY TIMES.

THEY WOULD HAVE JUST FIRED ME.
