Zac Efron - Zac♥Nikki #91: Because Summer heat, boy and girl meet, But uh-oh those summer nights

follow the sun · 12-04-2007, 01:32 AM

Welcome to the 91st Zac/Nikki Appreciation Thread

by Dingbat (Small Version – Large can be found on the 50th thread)

Just someone who’s able to laugh a lot,
you know, and I find I can get through
a lot of stuff in life by just going with
them and being easy going and laughing.
And – I think someone who’s passionate about
their career and where they’re going in life.
I think that’s very important, someone who likes to have fun.
I could go for days, but yeah those are some general things. – Zac

Somebody who’s secure in himself.
Somebody who’s excited about life and
fun loving and somebody who’s just kind
and somebody who can make me laugh.
‘Cause I love to laugh. There’s nothing more
that I love than to be made to laugh.
So somebody who’s just fun and like I said,
who’s just secure in themselves and knows
where they’re going and what they want to
do in life so – I think those are the qualities
that I would look for in a guy. - Nikki

They're now "the best of buds," as she puts it. Blonsky calls Efron "breathtakingly beautiful on the outside but . . . twice as gorgeous on the inside." He calls her "gregarious, energetic, happy - go - lucky, kind, caring, sweet. She's the most fun girl that I've met in a really long time."

Quotes:

Nikki: It’s like a really good summer camp

Zac: And then you just, you end it. It’s like a really good summer camp. She’s right. And then it’s gone. That’s why we come back and do press and so forth.

Nikki: Find your summer love.(gesturing to Zac)

Zac: Get to see Nik here! (puts his arm around her)

Nikki: Yeah (giggles)

---

Now I have to ask you about this, Today on the internet somebody sent me that TeenHollywood.com, part of my research is reading all of the big teeny bopper magazines…there was all this stuff about like ‘You guys are best friends’ but this one was like ‘I like big girls’

Zac: Yeah. Oh, is that what I said? Yeah.

Nikki(laughs): Yeah, he does!

Cause they’re larger than life and comfortable in their skin’

Zac: Well rock on, it’s true. It’s true!

Nikki: (takes his hand) That’s sweet Zac!

Zac: I always say, it’s funny...but one of the main reasons I can relate to Link is because you know I’m not all about these like super, super skinny perfect girls. I mean that’s so Hollywood, that’s not what girls are about. It’s self-confidence(Nikki giggles), it’s…it’s um, sense of humor, it’s fun, it’s what you do. It’s how comfortable you are.

Nikki: It’s how you shake your stuff.

Zac: That’s…yeah! And Nikki’s got…Nikki’s got some stuff to shake. She’s got some stuff to shake.

Nikki: Yeah, and I shook it all for him didn’t I?(laughs)

What is the nature of your guys relationship?

Zac: Best pals…Well, no, no, no, we can’t…we don’t want to say. We’d like to leave that open.

Nikki: Yeah, we keep it between us.

---

Nikki: Oh yeah, we see each other all the time.

Zac: Yeah.

---

Where do you guys see yourselves 20 years from now?

(leaning close to each other)

Zac: I’m on the couch and…

Nikki: …And I’m making him a sandwich. (Zac nods, they both giggle)

by perfectlyscrewed

Zac: I… she’s a natural. I swear to God, you know these guys have been doing it their whole lives. I mean John is such a professional and Chris is amazing but I think Nikki has been ready for this since she was out…from the womb!

Nikki: Oh, thanks! (laughs and touches his arm)

Zac: When she came out…Tracy honestly. You have no idea. This girl is, is…She’s magic.

Nikki: Thank you.

Zac: And it comes through in the movie. She’s Tracy. It’s great.

---

Nikki: And then of course watching all the other actors work. I mean I probably learned the most by talking to this guy(points to Zac) and working with him.(Zac is blushing) I mean he’s, he’s incredible. Just the way he works and the way he handles himself. He’s such a professional. So I truly…he’s an inspiration.

Zac: Am I in John’s seat? I think I’m in John’s seat. Am I?(laughs)

Nikki: Stop it! No, you’re in Zac’s seat.

Zac: Aw, Nikki. (hugs her)

---

Did you not melt when he did that Link Wink?

Nikki: Yes, I melted to the floor.

Would you ever consider doing it on Broadway?

Zac: Yeah

Nikki: I mean, you know what it is, I think any chance I would get to work with Zac again, I’d take it.

Zac: It’d be a blast.

Nikki: We’d have so much fun.

Zac: Yeah, we’d have a blast…especially you know if Nikki did it. We could have so much fun with that. We could play around.

Nikki: Yeah

---

Nikki: Oh, wow. Well, he’s open…he’s an open target. He’s sitting there waiting, you know so you can’t sit there waiting for him. You know, you gotta let him know, hello? You know it’s funny, all these girls love Zac for the beauty that’s on the outside. I love Zac for the beauty that’s on the inside. I’ve gotten the opportunity to know him so he’s a great person. We’re good buds.

by Magpiez

Nikki: Well you know, just like any other scene in the movie…we had to rehearse.

Where did that happen, Zac’s trailer?

Zac: This is some story. You tell this one Nik.

Nikki: Well um you know we rehearsed right before the scene and we actually shot that scene for about 4 days. So there’s…

Wait, you shot a kissing scene with Zac Efron for 4 days?

Nikki: Yeah it wasn’t a hard day at the office just let me tell ya. Just like any other scene it was fun and we had a great time.

Zac: It was all natural, with Nikki it was easy you know. It was fun.

Zac: This is Nikki. She’s playing Tracy. She’s absolutely incredible. I get to make out with her in the movie. Actually the whole reason I signed on to this thing.

---

Zac: This is Nikki. She’s playing Tracy. She’s absolutely incredible. I get to make out with her in the movie. Actually the whole reason I signed on to this thing.

---

Zac: Dude, I personally have to say you know that coming into this with slightly more experience, very slightly more experience. I was expecting to share a little bit with Nikki but I think we all ended up learning from this girl. She was truly incredible.

---

Nikki: Yeah...I’m very excited… (she says quite sedately)..

Zac: (looking at her before doubling over in laughter)..Nikki was…I’m…on...

Nikki: (laughing) I mean...there’s no other word...my fairytale just came true…I’m sitting next to Zac Efron..(gestures at room)..I’m on morning...I am EXCITED! C’mon!

Zac: (gestures away in a pshaw fashion laughing when she mentions him).

---

Zac: At this point…I feel…(looks at Nikki who is looking at him listening before he turns back to Kerri-Ann)..very gifted to be working in this business..(Nikki nods in agreement)..I can’t imagine for the life of me letting anything get in the way (Nikki nods)..y’know...or letting that slide somehow...that’s...so...the farthest thing from our minds. We’ve both been party to a lot more work…we’re gifted to be here..

Nikki: (nodding and gesturing to Zac)...yeah...somebody..

Zac: ..(nodding)..we’ve a one in a million shot…and right now it feels like we’ve just got a foot in the door...and we’re not gonna go screw it up…

Nikki: ..yeah that’s..(shrugging in agreement like he’s said it all)..

Zac: ..(shaking his head & smiling at Kerri-Ann)..you don’t have to worry about it.

Nikki: …yeah...that would be like a slap in the face. I mean somebody gave me the opportunity to be in this room and to start a career..

Zac: (nods and gestures in agreement leaning his elbow on the chair & leaning towards Nikki)…also I think with me & Nikki…we didn’t start off here...we haven’t been in this industry our whole lives…we’re lived very normally..(gestures to Nikki looking at her)..I mean you were...turned 17..and I..(shrugs)...I mean I didn’t do High School Musical till I was 17…I was just...your every day normal high school kid….y’know...with parents...that uh..(he and Nikki look back and forth at one another)..you know...had strict rules..

Kerri-Ann: So is it your parents who that factored into who you are today with that sort of appreciation?

Nikki: 100%..yeah….

Zac: 100%..yeah..we do it all for them…

Nikki: Yeah..

Zac: And y’know above and beyond the moral discipline…the fact that they supported us in our endeavours (Nikki nods)..I mean...there’s (laughs)..you’ve got no shots in Hollywood these days...no shots. And after all the blind auditions we went on...100’s of rejections…(Nikki nods in agreement)..and what with our driving back and forth to L.A…you know...um…you think your parents are gonna give up…and they keep going...you know...you can never repay them for that.

by throwawaythekey

Rove: Was there any tongue action in your on-screen kiss?
Zac: (emphatically) Yeah.

Nikki: *gasp* (Looks at Zac with Big O face) You just totally put us out there!

Rove: Stop the clock!

Zac: I thought we had to tell the truth!

Nikki: Ohhh!

Rove: Y'know there a moment there where I kinda thought you...just a little...*makes twiddle gestures*..did you?!

Zac: A bit..y'know..you kinda forget...I guess..

Nikki: That we're on tv!

Zac: ..and you get carried away..

Rove: How could you not?!

Zac:..this was one of those moments...

---

Zac (RE his on-screen kiss with Nikki ): It was great! She was so ready - it was hilarious! The director wanted us to practice, and we just sort of knew that we had it, so we didn't have to worry. It was really natural.

---

Zac: I watch her walk the red carpet with more poise than I ever have. This is a girl who's obviously been ready her entire life for this.

---

Zac: I definitely had a great vibe with Nikki; I think that she's an amazing girl and I think we'll be friends for years to come after doing this film together.

---

Your Movies: What is it like to work with John Travolta dressed as a woman?
Nikki: He's such a great guy. We had a lot of fun, and I just go to know him for the great human being that he is. But the most fun I had working with somebody was with this guy right here, Zac. He's so much fun, he made me feel right at home and we had a blast.

YM: So that onscreen chemistry is a little bit real?

Zac: Well, there's no one better to work with. We honestly became best friends. It's cool that there's all these great older actors, but it's not like were gonna go, "Let's go hang out with Chris Walken, let's go to the mall". [All laugh] You don't do that. Also, her family was so nice to me, they were like my other parents.

Nikki: Just one big happy "Hairspray" family.

night ash!

throwawaythekey · 12-04-2007, 01:43 AM

Yay new thread!

Thanks Jenn! 91!!

Patti- you'll get it one of these days!

And you know what's weird? I'm previewing my post, and when I look at the OP, the links are showing up at URLS, too.

I am off to bed as well

much love

PattiFM · 12-04-2007, 01:45 AM

that is weird!

night key!

follow the sun · 12-04-2007, 01:48 AM

No problem Patti!

I noticed the link to the last thread was a little wonky, too, so fixed it. Don't ask what I did differently, because I just wouldn't know!

But, it's all good now.

Night Ash! Night Key! Job well done with the killing, girls!

Tonight was insane! With catching up on about 300 posts, posting on JJ, msn, and reading fics, I had NO time to do anything else!

And, 100 will be here in NO TIME! AAAH!

(I think you're all that's left?

Unless Nonna is still here, but she probably went to bed when

went down)

PattiFM · 12-04-2007, 01:55 AM

yeah, i noticed the wonky link too.. but that was the least of my worries cause the rest of them were messed up too.

will you send me your instructions on how to do it? just so maybe i can figure out what went wrong?

and yes, thread 90 had a short, but good life.

we're nine threads away from 100. that's insane!

i'm excited for it though. hopefully i'll figure out something to contribute.

ETA
that's it for me too

night jenn!

and anyone else that's left!

follow the sun · 12-04-2007, 01:58 AM

Here you go Patti

I don't know what went wrong, but sometimes things do. Like one time someone opened and all the link names changed and the boldfaced went away. And another time someone opened and all the orange typeface turned black. Weird. But, we're A-ok now.

Quote:

Instructions to open a new thread, Jennifer-style (meaning, it may not be what everyone does, haha)

I like to have the thread opened 2 times. It makes copying and pasting easier for me, so that’s my tip.

Go to the first post on the opening page, click reply to topic, copy everything in it

Then click post new thread (I do this on the other thread I have opened)

Paste everything in

Remove the [Quote) tags at the beginning and the end

Go back to the thread (this is where I find it helpful to have the thread open twice) and copy the Zac♥Nikki into the title of the new OP

Paste it into the title box, adding the # and the title

Go back to the other opened thread again and copy the link, pasting it into the OP

Change the thread # at the top of the OP

Submit new thread

Copy the link of the new thread, and post it on the previous thread

DONE! Congratulations!

And I have a feeling we'll be opening 100 on Sunday or Monday, depending on when Ley is back. YIKES!

Must. Get. Writing.

But, bed first.

PattiFM · 12-04-2007, 02:07 AM

thank you!

i'll sleep better now.

night!

follow the sun · 12-04-2007, 02:12 AM

Oh, and great thinking with the title, Nonna! A Grease connection AND all those months of rehearsals in the Summer!

Summer Lovin' anyone?

And remember to post on JJ to support our Nickels!

Nikki Blonsky @ Movies Rock 2007 | Nikki Blonsky : Just Jared

Sweet_Honeycomb · 12-04-2007, 05:21 AM

I can't stop singing Summer Loving now. Awesome thread title.

rooney20 · 12-04-2007, 05:54 AM

the new title!!

Made me want to watch Grease now

peach73 · 12-04-2007, 06:50 AM

Hello Ladies

Yay ! Already thread # 91 !!!

Love the title

Aaah summer lovin'

Summer '07 was really eventful for Zikki

Love the new pics of Nikki !!! She looks sooo beautiful !!! Love the long hair

and she's in L.A ! Hope to hear more news on her soon...

Have a nice day ladies ! I'll try to be here later...

rooney20 · 12-04-2007, 07:04 AM

Nikki looks stunning..red definitely suits her

Magpiez · 12-04-2007, 07:59 AM

Yay new thread!!! I am sorry I didn't stick around for the opening last night girls, ff went down on me for a while and I didn't have enough energy to stay up.

But I am lovin the thread title!! Awesome to pair a Grease lyric to Zikki because I feel that Zac and Nikki in a way are a modern day Oliva and John!

ETA: Arg I don't know why I go back to JJ and actually read the comments! I should just keep positing positive stuff repeatedly to block out the ignorant haters. They just anger me because they don't know Nikki and yet they bash her, I have never understood bashing someone you don't know well enough. I know it shouldn't bother me soo much but I hate to see anyone beat down for stupid reasons!!!! *storms off to blow off steam*
