Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Premiere Ends
"Hehe, I'm just telling what I really think. Sid smiled and patted the grateful Tself.
"Let's take a picture. As soon as Sid said, the photographers raised their cameras one after another, and the leading actors stood around him.
"What about me!What about me?" At that moment, a voice suddenly interjected, and little Nizi Lindsay suddenly got in, and she squeezed between Sid and Joseph, and then looked at Sid quirkily, "What about my evaluation?"
"Oh, I almost forgot our main character, Juno. Sid pretended to exaggerate, and the reporters and actors laughed softly.
"I'm not going to say what you're saying. Sid's words made Lindsay collapse.
"Eh, what's going on. ”
"Okay, you're with me, little sister. Sid smiled and patted Xiao Nizi and said, if Sid's high evaluation of Joseph just now is easy to make others red. Then his recognized favor for Lindsay is the most enviable, jealous and hated in Hollywood.
In the dark theater, the wide screen slowly lights up, and the premiere of "Juno" finally begins. After hand-drawing the cartoon-style orange-red Fire Lion Pictures logo, with the sound of light-hearted music, Juno, played by Lindsay, carries a juice bottle and faces the single sofa opposite.
Juno's thoughts were then interrupted by the puppy's barking dog, her brow furrowed slightly, and she shouted at the puppy, the independent style of the young audience watching at the 1,000 theaters across North America smiled knowingly, and the professional film critics in the theaters raised their eyebrows slightly at the premiere.
It seems that the style in the trailer is really not fake, the eclectic characters and the aura of the style are really Sid Leon.
Then the prologue ends, and the opening begins, accompanied by a cheerful and melodious melody, the picture becomes an illustration style, and even the main character, Juno, is transformed into a colorful, black-and-white illustrated character, who walks around the town while drinking the drink in her hand.
Whether it is the colorful picture or the relaxing and pleasant music, it makes the young fans who are watching the film all over North America at the same time concentrate on watching it, and many people forget that this is a movie about a young girl's early pregnancy, but watch it easily and happily.
Next, from Juneau's preparation for an abortion, to finding an adoptive family after repentance. Although the plot development of the film seems to be bland, it is under a superficial blandness from beginning to end, which contains potential plot tension.
Whether it is Juno's unique personality charm or the relaxed rhythm of the movie itself, the audience gradually fell into it and quieted down in the laughter.
Then, the film gradually gets to the point, and the style of the story transitions from light-hearted and witty cool, to real characters' hearts. And the audience, especially the younger ones, fell in love with Juno because of her rebellious and independent words and deeds, and they were more concerned about Juno's fate because of this.
Next, Juno's heart changes, her little boyfriend Rick also changes subtly, and at the same time, there are psychological changes in the middle-aged adoptive couple played by Mark and Amy.
At first, his wife Vinesa, who seems to be old-fashioned and boring, and her husband Jason, who unexpectedly talks to Juno very much, but as the plot develops, the couple's senses for Juno and the audience have changed incredibly.
Especially when Juno goes from a simple state of life to a conflict with the real world. Juno, who seemed to be very arrogant, also began to feel and think, and she slowly changed.
Eventually, Jason, the husband of the adoptive family, decided to leave his wife and go back to pursuing his musical dreams. It should have been an admirable dream-chasing move that should be the main theme of Hollywood, but at the moment it is difficult not to feel in the movie that this is the infantilization and degradation of adult men.
And under this impact, Juno who drove away from their house, finally drove the car to the side of the road and lay on the steering wheel, Juno, who has always seemed to be independent and assertive, showed a confused expression and cried bitterly for the first time!
Crying scenes have never been an uncommon challenge for Hollywood actresses, but there are very few that can really move people's hearts.
This is also the first time Lindsay has performed a crying scene in a movie, and this crying scene should not only reflect Juno's changes, but also retain her personal character, which means that the whole transformation must be real and credible, and it must be full of unique charm.
This level of demand, as always, can be said to be - non-geniuses can't either!
Sid turned to Lindsay beside him with a faint smile, and it was obviously the first time that Nizi had watched her performance, staring at the big screen with big eyes in excitement. Then she felt Sid's eyes, turned her head and smiled and raised her eyebrows at Sid.
Sid didn't speak, but smiled slightly and gave a thumbs up, and Lindsay immediately smiled brightly.
Lindsay performed very well in this tense crying scene, or it should be said that the audience could hardly see any trace of the performance, everything was so natural and believable.
Then Jason, the husband of the adoptive family, left his wife, and Juno, who was bullied at school, was protected by the originally cowardly Rick, and Vinissa, the wife of the adoptive family, decided to adopt Juno's children alone.
Juno discovers that she is not alone, behind her runaway father, whether it is Vinesa, a strong single mother, or Rick, a young boyfriend who has grown up and changed. Juno is wrapped in loving people, and she decides to take her responsibility.
In the hospital, accompanied by her best friends and her little boyfriend Rick, Juno gave birth to a child - a girl!
Then when Vinesa picked up the newborn little life with tears in her eyes, Juno smiled and said to Vinissa: "Vinissa, I have decided that I still want to see the photos and messages of the little baby. ”
When I saw this, countless critics felt a little underdone - damn it! This is definitely a Sid Leonhardt movie!
Irresponsible adult men, independent and confident women, and young men who retain a little hope? Isn't this the experience of Sid's own life as an orphan?
In the end, after replying, Juno carried a guitar and rode a bicycle to the door of her little boyfriend Rick's house. After reading the photos of the baby sent by Vinesa in the early morning sun, the two of them kissed in front of the door in the background of the sports team running in the morning, and then sat down to play the guitar ensemble.
Then the screen slowly darkens, and the credits gradually rise.
The premiere of "Juno" at the Los Angeles Music Center has finally been screened.
