Social Media and Behind the Scenes: AKA Everything Else Not "News and Media"

I just got home from the first day of HVFF and the Nocking Point party. Most of the the info from the panels has been posted already, but I can share some personal anecdotes.

 

I got to talk to both Echo and Caity for a bit during the day, and they were both very kind and down to earth. Caity is super excited for another season of Legends. Echo and I mostly talked about Snapchat which resulted in maybe the most disturbing face swap ever.

 

I got a picture with Stephen and David together, and even though the process is very quick, they both took the few seconds they had to say a friendly hello, ask how you were, and give a sincere thank you. 

 

Now, the Nocking Point party was awesome. David, Paul, Colin, Echo, Neal, Robbie, and obviously Stephen we're in attendance. David left after an hour our so, but everyone else stayed through most of it. I only talked to Paul for a significant amount of time. My friend and I asked him about his charity work and he just lit up. He's obviously very passionate about it. He was really sweet and oh man, that accent.

 

The main event was a mash up of Why Don't We Do It in the Road (with much dirtier lyrics) and Come Together. It was around a 20 minute jam session, led by Brother Sal's band with Stephen and Colin on vocals, Neal on the harmonica, Neal's wife dancing on the piano, and Paul as the photographer. It was nuts. Neal did a stage dive. I was right in the front, so I was part of the group that caught him. My hands were in places I never could have imagined.  Stephen can really sing, and Neal is a beast on the harmonica. It was a lot of fun.

KC is three hours late today and we know it isn't unusual. I wonder if she has the same attitude on set and that could be part of the reason for the crew's alleged issues with her.

That is CRAZY unprofessional.

KC was late again? In other news, grass is green.

 

In all seriousness though, she needs to stop this and get it together already. People have paid a lot of money to go see her. It's just rude at this point. No excuses. Once or twice is fair enough and understandable but it's literally every single time now. Yikes.

Guys, seriously!

Yes, there is a grave. It could be this person or that character, but please out of respect for your fellow posters who would prefer to be unspoiled, speculate about the person in the speculation thread.

From David Rapaport's panel at HVFF-Chicago this morning...

 

Oliver Queen is a pretty guy but he's got darkness behind his eyes - David Rapaport talking at #HVFFChicago #Arrow

"A casting director is like a match maker. We'll do chemistry tests & sometimes it's just obvious" @RapaportCasting

ETA: I'm going to put some other fan tweets in the Spoilers thread because they're kinda spoilery about a big thing (if true) and it's too difficult to spoiler tag them in this thread.

Here's a video clip of David Rapaport answering fan question: "How much chemistry are you able to capture during the Audition Process?"...
http://olicity-i-believe-in-you.tumblr.com/

 

My transcription of Rapaport's response to a fan who asked how much chemistry are you able to capture during the audition process:

 

"A lot of it is guessing, you know. I'm a bit of a matchmaker sometimes. I try to guess who would look good together, or work well together, or have chemistry. Um, sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes we do have chemistry tests where we bring in the two lead actors and have them act opposite each other.  I know, for example, on The Flash - or actually, on Arrow, when we were casting the Barry Allen character, we had Grant Gustin do a chemistry read with, um, Felicity - with Emily, and they just had chemistry in spades. It was amazing, and it was so obvious to us that they should be together.  And sometimes, you know, the actors are up in Vancouver, and the role that we're casting, we're down in L.A., so we don't get an opportunity to test that chemistry, and we just sorta hope for the best. And sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  I'll take, uh, full responsibility for the ones that work.  And the ones that don't, I'll just blame it on someone else."

Some fan tweets from today's Men of Arrow panel at HVFF-Chicago...

 

[Tweet includes video clip of following Olicity response by SA:]
SA: "Oliver wants to be with Felicity. Uh, Felicity does not want to be with Oliver... currently. And I think that Oliver is going to maintain his position... like an adult." (Audience and other panel members laugh)
CD: "A very stubborn adult?"
SA: "Like an adult that maybe occasionally stomps his foot on the ground... whenever he wants, but an adult nonetheless. Maybe he'll sucker her into a fake wedding and, uh - never mind. Sorry."
https://twitter.com/Olicityibelieve/status/709088354676174848

 

On a scale of 1 to 10 in levels of heartbreak,

the wedding will be a 10. Stephen won't say if Oliver wrote the vows. [This tweet likely refers to the fake wedding in 416.] 


https://twitter.com/lschin12/status/709084696811081728

 

Someone asked if Diggle and Felicity end up together on Earth 2. David and Stephen support it. Said Meryln should keep his hands to himself.

For what it's worth, Stephen was just asked if it was true that he didn't know who was in the grave when he filmed the flash forwards and he said "Not true."

Wasn't there a question bashing Felicity in some panel yesterday? So this might be a direct response to that.

I had that thought too.

Last time SA and DR did a panel together in the UK, it had a bit of a Felicity LoveFest section as well.

I don't know, the impression I have is that  Felicity fans are being trolled.But  maybe I am just too cynical. 

 

@tvecho, I meant from the panelist, not the tweets :)

To clarify, those tweeting will focus on what they're most interested in.  So if there seems to be a disproportionate amount of tweets about Felicity or Olicity, that might be the reason.  When we watch the full panels, there may be a lot of other things that are said about other people and other stuff.  That's what I meant. 

 

From the few short video clips I've seen, I don't think anyone on the panels is anything but sincere (other than the times when they are clearly joking around).

Am I the only one who feels like all this Felicity love is a bit(much) trolling?

 

Not sure it's trolling as much as probably knowing a good chunk of the audience is going to be thrilled with Felicity mentions. Also, seems par for the course when SA and DR get together; there's usually a lot of Felicity/Emily love. Though I'm guessing this bit is also to appease some pissed off fans who'd tweeted HVCC about the Arrow fan panel last night that, from reports, basically dissed Olicity and Felicity.

@tvecho Yeah, I know, I wasn't focusing on the quantity but rather the content itself. Maybe once the panel is out I'll get a different feeling than from just the tweets and the short clips. :)

Well, but that's exactly what I mean. Like, they are annoyed people ask them about Felicity/Olicity so they just throw her in randomly at every turn. I don't know, it's just the impression I got.

I didn't know about this dissing at the Fan panel. I thought when it was mentioned before, it was referred to that question during the women's panel.

That would actually be quite rude of them. I get that you might be annoyed but these people pay good money and therefore you should suck it up and act professional when answering their questions.

But who knows, maybe it just appeared that way.

It seems to me there are always lots of Felicity mentions when SA and DR do a panel together or alone. Not as much when the ladies are there as well and now it was just men..this is why I doubt it was trolling, also because they aren't that childish.

Yesterday a fan asked about BC/GA and apparently dissed Felicity in the question but I don't know what he/she said exactly.

I think you might have misunderstood me. I don't think they're annoyed people are asking about Olicity/Felicity. The number of Olicity/Felicity questions might explain why there are more responses that included her. But I'm also theorizing that they, specifically SA, heard about complaints to HVCC organizers that a fan panel scheduled last night was less than respectful to the pairing and to Felicity. I can see this being a passive-aggressive way of responding to the people dissing Olicity/Felicity, NOT the people who complained. And like I mentioned above, DR and SA have a pretty good record of bringing up Felicity/Emily at cons A LOT.

 

What was this? I hadn't heard anything about this.

 

If you check the mentions of the Heroes Fan Fest account on Twitter, you'll see the complaints from last night.

Re: Felicity talk at the Arrow panel today, I was there and thought the mentions were made both out of admiration and knowing the audience would respond well. Never felt like trolling to me.

This makes me feel better :p Because I was thinking the same. That the Felicity talk was excessive and trollish lol
