MGM's years of life are called miserable, which can be described as a well-known open secret.

After a series of blows in the 80s and 90s, and after being sold twice and bought back twice by gambling tycoon Cocrian, MGM, as the last independent blockbuster, has always stood on the verge of bankruptcy.

If it weren't for Pierce Brosland's version of the "007" series, perhaps the invincible MGM of the past would have become a thing of the past.

And in the middle of July this year, a comedy movie called "Legally Blonde" unexpectedly became popular, fighting a bloody way from films such as "Jurassic Park 3" and "Battle of the Planet of the Apes" in the same schedule.

This comedy, directed by Robert Luktick and starring Reese Witherspoon, cost $18 million in exchange for $96 million in North America and $140 million worldwide.

This is really a rare masterpiece of MGM in recent years, and the big box office and subsequent peripheral income can finally make MGM breathe a sigh of relief. And the simple-minded but kind-hearted blonde beauty played by the heroine Rishi Witherspoon has also become a hit.

As the saying goes, actors eat by popularity, although "Legally Blonde" is quite successful, but the success of the heroine Rishi Witherspoon is even greater, and she has become the new American sweetheart overnight!

As a result, she jumped into the list of first-line stars in the 10 million club.

This can be called the fastest rising and most amazing Hollywood actress in the past decade, and everyone was shocked by Hollywood for a while.

You must know that this is half a year after Julia Roberts won the Oscar, and such an aggressive new actress immediately appeared, which couldn't help but surprise everyone.

"Oh, looks like Reese has been doing a good job lately. Sid chuckled as he flipped through the latest People magazine.

"Sid, do you know Reese?" asked a blonde lady next to her, curiously.

"Hehe, not only do I know Reese, but the first movie she starred in was my "Warm Corpse". Sid said to Nancy Meyers with a smile.

"Oh, I've seen a little bit of that movie before, it's a very interesting and novel sci-fi romance, and the two protagonists are very distinctive. Nancy then remembered that Sid's men had also dug up a lot of newcomers who had broken the cow.

"Oh, looks like they're ready. This is when Sid looked up and saw two other beautiful women walking over with a smile and a smile.

"Wow, I really didn't expect that in "Natural Pair", those two cute little girls were played by you alone, which was really unexpected by me. The blonde woman in one of them said with a smile.

"Thanks, Kate. Your performance of "Elizabeth" is also very realistic, great. Lindsay thanked him and praised him with a smile.

"If you're interested in acting in a stage play, I can introduce you. "Named Kate, and of course the only one who played "Elizabeth" is Cate Blanchett, who is known as the acting king.

"Hehe, well, I don't know. Lindsay smiled and looked at Sid.

"Okay, I'll throw this pot to Ali, if Lindsay goes to play a stage play, Ali will definitely jump off the building. Sid said with a smile.

"Hello Sid. Cate Blanchett smiled and shook Sid's hand, "It's a pleasure to see you today." ”

"Me too, Kate. Sid said with a smile.

"Alright, okay, that's the joke here, and we should get down to business. Nancy Meyers smiled and clapped her hands.

It turned out that today was the makeup trial time for Lindsay's new film, and Sid chose "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" for Lindsay in exchange for Disney more than ten years ago.

Now Lindsay is just over fifteen years old, and after filming "Juno" and the second season of "Hannah Montana", Sid also began to think that it was time for Lindsay to play against some talented actors to improve himself.

As the saying goes, athletes with good opponents can grow better and stronger.

If there is no Liston, how can he achieve the prestige of the boxing champion Ali?

And Sid's first "opponent" for Lindsay is Cate Blanchett, known as the queen of acting.

Anyone who has watched the movie of the Great Demon King Kate knows that her amazing performance level has long been in the realm, whether it is an actor of the same age or an older and more qualified veteran star, there are only a few people who can compare with her.

"Well, it doesn't look like a problem. After adjusting a few details with makeup artists and costume consultants, Nancy decided on Lindsay and Cate Blanchett's makeup and costumes in the film.

"OK, looks like we still have time to talk about the show. Although Sid did not hold any actual role in "Hot Moms and Hot Girls", no one objected to Sid's participation.

"Oh, I can't wait. Lindsey sat down with a smile, and Sid, Nancy, Lindsay, and Kate, sat in a circle on the couch in the studio.

"So you've already read the script, right?" asked director Nancy Meyers.

Oh, and it can't be said that Sid's movie this time is completely irrelevant, this time the script is from Sid's hand.

"Of course. "Mm-hmm, I've seen it several times. Kate and Lindsay nodded their heads.

"Okay, then I'd like to hear your understanding of the script first. Nancy said.

"Then I'll do it first. Lindsay raised her hand and laughed.

"OK, Lindsay, you say it first. Nancy nodded in agreement.

"Although "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" is a comedy, the relationship between mother and daughter is the theme of the movie. In terms of plot, it can also be divided into the initial mother-daughter confrontation period, to the stage when the two bodies were swapped, there were frequent jokes but they also began to understand each other, and the final mother-daughter reconciliation and mutual understanding finale. Lindsay's well-organized, head-to-head analysis made everyone nod secretly.

"And what about you, Cate?" said Sid with a smile as he looked at Cate Blanchett.

Cate Blanchett thought about it and said: "As Lindsay just said, the three stages of this play, the confrontation between mother and daughter, the exchange of identities, and finally mutual understanding, make the main context of the film, and the most important thing for the requirements of the two leading actors is to grasp this change." ”

"How?" asked Lindsay.

For example, at the beginning, her mother Tess was a strong career woman with strong self-discipline on the surface, while her daughter Anna was a rock-loving, rebellious and independent girl. ”

But her mother Tess is also a woman who values family and love under her career, so she strongly requires her daughter Anna to attend the engagement ceremony and not allow her to perform at the concert. ”

And her daughter Anna is under the appearance of rebellion, but she is actually insecure, so she cares so much about the attitude of the boy she likes towards her. Cate Blanchett's words dissected the two protagonists clearly and clearly.
