And the box office results of this film are also confirming the praise of the media, on Sunday alone, "Earth Thunder" won the first week box office of 24 million US dollars!

This is the proof that Sid has won the box office appeal!

You must know that box office appeal is generally the standard for film companies to judge actors, and very few directors can obtain such an ability (Buff), even directors who have won box office success many times are difficult. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because this requires not only a strong director's skills and talents, but also a unique directing style, directors who can generally obtain such abilities are either typical genre film directors: such as the explosive bomb (Michael Bay), and the horror film specialization James Wynn (Wen Ziren).

Or those who have really been famous for more than ten years and have become the top in Hollywood - big directors!

After "Youth Musical", Sid Leon's signature has been highly recognized by young people, and he has never given up the pursuit of art films, which has allowed him to maintain a good reputation among film critics.

This allowed Sid to open up a box office appeal that only belonged to him in addition to the first two.

At the Oscar nomination ceremony that followed, an even more astonishing result was revealed - in the face of the previous standout "American Beauty", many people predicted that this Oscar would be the most dull and boring time ever.

"Thunder on Earth" came from behind, surpassing "American Beauty", which received 8 nominations, and won 10 nominations for Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Effects, Best Costume Design, Best Art Direction (Jesse Okanaku), Best Cinematography (Lance Arcode), Best Adapted Screenplay (Sid), Best Supporting Actress (Lindsay Lohan), Best Actor (Jeff Bridges), Best Director (Sid) and Best Picture!

This not only refreshed the most nominations for this year's Oscars, but also set a new nomination record in Sid's life.

Among them, Lindsay Lohan for Best Supporting Actress was nominated for the second year in a row, which makes Xiao Nizi already regarded by Hollywood as the undisputed leader of the new generation of young actors.

And Best Actor Jeff Bridges won his second Best Actor nomination after many years, of course, it makes people feel very old.

As for Jesse Okatosaku and Lance Arcord who each won their first Oscar nominations, they couldn't help but rejoice and dance.

But none of this compares to Sid, who was nominated for Best Director!—because it means that Sid became the youngest director nominee in history!

Previously, the youngest nominee for Best Director in Oscar history was John Singleton, who was nominated for "Block Boy" at the 68th Oscars in 1991. He was only 24 years old when he was nominated, the same age as he graduated from college.

As for the youngest winner, Norman Taurrog won the prize in 1931 at the age of 32 for "Skeepie". But that was still the fourth year of the Oscars, and it was almost a story of prehistoric times compared to the present.

So it is conceivable that a 19-year-old Oscar nominee for Best Director shocked everyone!

Although some media have long pointed out that as long as Sid's new film can maintain the quality of last year's "Little Sunshine Beauty", it is still okay to get a nomination, but when this incident really happened, everyone still felt that they underestimated the impact of this incident!

And all the media who thought that this Oscars would be boring and dull put this news on the front page almost immediately!

For a while, both "Earth Thunder" and Sid himself became the hottest topic, and this kind of person who is not controlled by gravity is the most likely to become the favorite of Americans who advocate heroism.

At this time, Sid still disappeared from the eyes of the media as always.

While the media spontaneously hyped up "Thunderbolt" and Sid's news, Sid himself and Lindsey were in Nebraska (next to California) at a sanatorium for minor early pregnancy, which is under the jurisdiction of the state government and is specially designed for unmarried mothers who are pregnant with early pregnancy.

Lindsay was talking to a girl with a slightly bulging belly, and looking at the other person's face, it should not be more than the age of a high school student. She said to Lindsay with a quiet smile: "Although I did panic when I first knew I was pregnant, and I also wanted to go to Mexico to get rid of the baby. ”

"But when I first heard my child's heartbeat in the hospital, I realized I couldn't! This is my child, a real life!" said the brown-haired high school girl with tears in her eyes.

Lindsay nodded silently, took her hand and said, "Eun, Yanna, thank you for telling your story." ”

"I thank you too, Yanna. Another male voice next to him said softly, this is not who Sid is.

The brown-haired high school girl glanced at Sid's gaze, and two blushes couldn't help but appear on her cheeks, "Well, if I can help you, I, then I'll go first." ”

It wasn't until the high school girl left the sight of the two that Lindsay turned her head to look at Sid angrily: "Brother Sid, you scared other girls again just now, this is the fifth girl we have been here and scared away by you." ”

"Hey, what do you say to scare away, it's too sparkling. Sid smiled helplessly, and then his face turned and he smiled slightly: "A handsome person like me,"

"Shuai didn't see it, but the decay was written on his body!" Lindsay said with a wide roll of her eyes.

At this time, Lindsay's assistant Sarah hurried over with a few bags of things, "Mr. Leon, Lindsay, the things have been delivered." ”

"Oh, is it?" Sid's eyes lit up, and Lindsay showed a rare bitter melon face.

"Brother Sid, do I really want to wear it?"

Sid smiled, "Even if you don't wear it now, you will have to wear it when you make a movie." Then Sid opened it, and it turned out to be a set of flesh-colored prosthetic pregnant belly.

At this time, Sid asked a Hollywood special effects artist to customize it for "Juno", so that Lindsay could better experience the character, so he was specially transported.

"It's really ugly. Xiao Nizi, who was wearing a prosthesis, immediately transformed into an underage girl who was "unmarried and pregnant". Lindsay looked at the flesh-colored prosthesis hanging on the outside of the clothes, in order to achieve the same weight as the real pregnancy and the same center of gravity, this seemingly ordinary prosthesis also cost a lot of production costs.

"No, Lindsay, the strap behind your back isn't tightened. Sarah, the assistant, kindly reminded her, and as she said that, she ran behind Lindsay, "snapped", and buckled the strap behind her back.

"Wow-" Lindsay immediately let out a "scream": "It's so heavy, I feel inconvenient to move!" Xiao Nizi said as she lifted the prosthesis in front of her with both hands.

"That's what you want. Sid on the side said with a grin.

Lindsay pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Bad brother, you don't want to make this movie just to see me make a fool of myself." ”

"How can you think of people so badly, Lindsay?" said Sid with a face of "righteous words" denied, "A young man like me, who was born in the spring breeze and grew up under the red flag, would never be so tricky. ”

"Brother Sid is talking nonsense again. Xiao Nizi also pinched Sid's face very cooperatively and said.

"Alright, alright, it's time to get down to business. Sid patted Lindsay's little hand and pulled her to sit down beside her, "So, what do you think of Juno?"

Seeing Sid's exquisite expression, Lindsay rolled her quirky eyes and smiled slightly: "You can't bother me, Brother Sid." ”

"Oh, let's hear it. Sid gestured with interest.

"Well, first of all, this girl Juno. Although this film is also about early pregnancy, unlike previous movies, Juno is a weird girl with a little rebellion. She loves bloody horror movies, loves rock and roll, acts spontaneously, has a big grin, and never cares about other people's eyes. ”

"Like all schools, the lony weird girl (BlackSheep), Juno has never been a mediocre person. I think this is also the reason why at the beginning of the script, she will want to try Zuo Ai. ”

Lindsay's words couldn't help but impress Sid: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Lindsay, your understanding of the script and characters has improved by leaps and bounds!"

"Of course, don't look at who I am?" Lindsay cocked her proud little nose and looked at Sid as if she were taking credit.

Sid pinched her braids thoughtfully, and then continued: "Yes, it is precisely because Juno is a girl with a strong independent heart that her words and deeds are different from ordinary girls of the same age. ”

"When I first met Juno, I found her to be a very smart and interesting girl. Because she loves rock and roll, Juno always likes to pay attention to the different things in life. She speaks in a somewhat rude tone, but not tough, certainly not as strong as Marty Ross in "Thunder on Earth". She has a big personality and speaks dirty, but it is not disgusting, but it makes people feel that she is full of personality. ”

She speaks very quickly and has a hard mouth, but she is still a middle school girl after all, so her heart is still relatively soft. Listening to Sid's words, Lindsay nodded as she tried to integrate herself into the character.

When she opened her eyes again, a solemn look appeared on Lindsay's face, "Wang!" Sid suddenly shouted at the Wangxingren, which couldn't help but startle Sarah, who was next to her.

Lindsay also seemed to be taken aback, she jerked her head back, then frowned slightly, and looked at Sid with an impatient expression: "Jeez shit! Balala, shut your dog's mouth, OK?"

Then, ignoring Sarah, who was holding back a smile, Lindsay opened her mouth slightly, looked back at a chair next to her, and exhaled slightly.
