Chapter 31: Growth

Although Lindsay's rivalry with the two villains is not long, Hugo Weaving and Uncle John Malkovich's performances are twice as effective as Sid's explanation of advanced performances to Lindsay. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And whether it is Hugo Weaving, who worked with Sid for the first time, or Uncle John Malkovich, who worked with Sid for the second time. They were all amazed by the talent of Lindsay, who met for the first time. The young actor Hailee Steinfeld in the original film, although her personality is tough enough, is always a little stiff in her performance, especially in the delicate close-up expressions, which are extremely stiff.

So Sid didn't refer too much to the original film, but instead gave Lindsay and Hugo Weaving, Uncle John Malkovich, and Jeff Bridges and Jeremy Renner the five main actors to perform freely.

Sid himself, on the other hand, only reminds where necessary.

In such a performance space, although Lindsay was a little overwhelmed at first, she faced the pressing performances of Hugo Weaving and Uncle John Malkovich. Instead, Lindsay was inspired to latent resilience.

Hugo Weaving first plays the role of a gangster with a bad brain, and then, after being provoked by Lindsay's words, he is about to storm the Shaman in anger. To be honest, Hugo Weaving is worthy of being Hollywood's premier villain professional, whether it is Tom Cheney who plays the role of a brainkiller, or the gangster who turned into a rioter.

It's just that as soon as his eyes changed and his expression froze, the evil aura on Hugo Weaving's body rushed to his face, making Lindsay, who was playing with him, can't help but stand on end, the fear in his eyes shrank suddenly, and the shiver made people can't help but shiver.

From being held to the throat by Hugo Weaving's dagger to being rescued by Jeremy (Renner) with the butt of a gun, although Lindsay, who was "the aftermath", was calm, he couldn't help but have a trace of fear in his eyes and a trace of fear in his voice.

This kind of natural performance makes it difficult for Sid to tell whether Lindsay is too deep in the play or a natural superb performance. But what is certain is that the current performance of "Earth Thunder" is much more exciting than the original film.

This kind of reaction with fear is normal, and it can be understood and accepted.

Like the original film, the little heroine has just experienced a life-and-death situation, and she can still look normal, as if she is asking her neighbor what she ate in the morning, and has a relaxed conversation with the young mounted policeman, and the whole performance is simply clumsy and incredible.

After filming the final few big scenes, Sid added the scene of the last adult and even elderly "Maddie". There aren't many of these scenes, and there are no difficult ones, they are all ordinary dialogue scenes and single-player scenes. The actor also directly asked Amy Adams to make a cameo after drawing special effects makeup.

After that, except for some shots that had to be reshot with a green screen, the pre-shooting ended at the end of April.

After inviting the crew to a bar in Los Angeles to celebrate the finale, Sid took a few of the main actors to the Burbank studio to catch up on some of the remaining shots.

――――――――――――――――――――

At the same time, the second season of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" finally ushered in the season finale, which is also the last episode of the show on Fire Lion TV. With a nostalgic mood, the ratings of the second season finale reached an astonishing 37 million, which not only drew a perfect end to "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", but also once again showed the trump card nature of the show.

At the same time, it also made Disney boss Michael Eisner, who got this show, secretly happy.

But there are still a lot of insiders who have lingering palpitations for the sensational effect of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire". The summer season has begun, and in the first week of May, the new main show of Fire Lion TV debuted, after Fire Lion showed a continuous ability to create popular programs.

This time, it didn't take much publicity, and the new show "Noble Son Jon" gained considerable attention.

And the attention was not in vain.

20 beauties from all over the United States compete for the "Golden Beetle Son-in-law"? Full of dog blood rushed to the face, which is different from the tension of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and different from the deceit of "Survivor".

The new "Noble Son Jon" has a smell of dog blood drama from the beginning of the trailer, if it is more than ten years later, people will definitely know that this is the so-called tearing dog blood drama, the favorite of housewives and adolescent girls!

"The Noble Son Jon", which is novel, completely different, and particularly eye-catching, although it is not well-known on the other side of the ocean, but in terms of ratings alone, the first episode got a good start of 35 million people.

The peers who still have a little delusion of the decline of the Fire Lion TV station, after seeing this strong and dazzling result, also put away their illusions, and the honest brother Wu went back.

Although the TV business can be regarded as smooth sailing, the film side still needs to be conscientiously continued to cultivate.

When Sid returned to Los Angeles, he didn't have much time to rest. first continued to reshoot some shots and scenes of "Earth Thunder" with a group of leading actors, and then finally ended the reshoot.

Sid had to go into the editing room and get the editing done as soon as possible, because only then could he continue with the dubbing, music effects, and a small amount of computer special effects.

After finally taking care of the tasks that he had to be responsible for, Sid finally took a break north to another important city in northern California.

――――――――――――――――――――

As an important city on the West Coast after Los Angeles, San Francisco can be said to be the most inclusive city in North America.

It is also an important gateway port on the West Coast, and many newcomers choose to live in this place of first residence. But in addition, San Francisco has another world-famous symbol, that is, the gathering place of new technology, synonymous with high technology - Silicon Valley.

"What I don't understand is, why are we meeting a Hollywood kid, are you sure he can really help us?" asked a blonde, confused by her companion.

"I just had a gut feeling that he was going to be a very interesting person. A thick-eyed boy sitting next to her shrugged his shoulders and was reluctant to elaborate on the real reason.

"And I'm curious to see what interesting proposals he has as one of the few truly successful teenage geniuses. Another kind-faced, handsome boy took over.

This strange combination of women and men is sitting in a famous fine dining restaurant in San Francisco, which is full of people, and it is dinner time, surrounded by many business people in leather shoes.

And the most eye-catching of the three is undoubtedly the blonde, I saw that she has a delicate and beautiful face, and exudes a confidence and generosity that cannot be ignored, and she looks even better than Hollywood and the socialites of New York's Upper East Side.

And the handsome boy looked kind-faced, and always seemed to have a smile in his eyes. It's hard to ignore his presence.

As for the thick-eyed boy who seemed to be the most inconspicuous, between his words and demeanors, the other two looked at him everywhere.

"He's coming!" the sharp-eyed blonde said suddenly, and the three of them stopped talking and looked in the direction of the restaurant door.

I saw a young man with black hair, led by a waitress in a dress, the young man was quite tall and slender, wearing a slim dark casual suit and jeans, looking formal and not too exaggerated.

Beneath his black hair was a young and immature face, which seemed to be younger than the men and women here. Or rather, young?

"I'm Sid Leon. Before the other party arrived, Sid smiled and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to greet him.

"Hello, hello. The three of them also quickly stood up.

"You must be Sergey (Brin). Sid shook hands with the kind-looking, big-eyed boy.

"And this beautiful lady must be Marissa (Mayer). Sid then turned to the blonde sitting in the middle of the three, and finally he looked at the thick-eyed boy who didn't look good, "And you, you must be Larry (Paige)." It's a pleasure to meet you guys. ”

"It's a good luck, it's a good luck. Larry Page felt the hot look in his eyes, and although he didn't know why, he responded politely.

After a few people sat down, Sid saw the empty table, "You haven't ordered yet?"

"Not yet. Sergey Brin shook his head. Although they had a lot of arguments, in the face of the invitation of the Hollywood prodigy who had created miracles in the past two years, several people were actually excited, so they didn't have time to order food at all.

"Alyssa. Sid turned back to a waitress and beckoned, "Can you get us something?"

A slender waitress approached her, and Sid said to her, "Spanish spicy pork sausage, tuna tartare, sunfish steak, and finally some lobster." Then he turned to Larry Page and smiled, "The pork sausage is a little spicy, you can accept it, right?"

"Of course, no problem. Larry Page nodded.

"That's the first thing. Sid smiled at the hostess, then turned to Marissa Mayer, "Marisa, what do you want to drink?"

Marissa Mayer was stunned, she seemed to remember that Sid on the other side was far from drinking age (the legal drinking age in the United States is -21 years old), but she still smiled charmingly and said, "Apple Martini." ”

"Good choice. Sid smiled and raised his eyebrows, then turned to the hostess and said, "Four glasses." ”
