Chapter 80: Girlfriend

"Actually, the problem of "Following" is very simple, it is the characters. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info," Sid said with a smile.

"Role?" asked Chris (Nolan) thoughtfully.

"Yes, although you used three looks in the film to distinguish the stalker's main character, long hair, short hair, and being beaten to the point that the nose and face were swollen, in fact, I didn't notice the difference between the two characters with long hair and short hair until the middle and late stages, and the visual difference between the two characters was not obvious enough. Sid pointed out.

"Should that be colored film, or a more obvious difference in the characters?" asked Chris (Nolan) in thought, "but, really, I can't tell the difference between red and green." ”

Chris (Nolan) told him about his color blindness, and Sid raised his eyebrows in surprise, but then shook his head, "Color is a way, but it's not the whole story. In addition to that, there is another way. ”

"What?"

"Use different roles. Sid's words made Chris (Nolan's) eyes light up.

"It's like a multi-threaded film. "Chris (Nolan) deserves to be a big director of the future, just a little bit of it.

"It's also a viable and interesting option. Sid shrugged. In fact, if there is only one character, it will inevitably appear monotonous. And after using multi-layered characters and applying multi-layered worlds, it is one of Chris (Nolan)'s later masterpieces "Inception".

Talking about the addicted Sid and Chris (Nolan) as if no one is around, they talk about all kinds of wonderful movies that play with the structure, from "Pulp Fiction" in previous years, to "Two Big Smoking Guns" and "Lola Run" this year.

On this basis, Sid also proposed that "Lola Run" is actually a standard, Hollywood three-stage structure story, but the three-stage structure is set up in a multiverse, through the aggravated gimmick. And in the end, the ending where Laura and her boyfriend got money and succeeded was simply a happy ending that was more vulgar than Hollywood comedy.

Europeans are also self-righteous, declaring themselves to break the Hollywood-style style of storytelling.

Nolan laughed.

As for the newer ones, such as the multiverse and parallel world concepts, they also seemed very cutting-edge in '98, and Nolan couldn't help but marvel at Sid's talent and vision after hearing how many people were so intoxicated.

"Then "Following", we Fire Lion Pictures, bought it. The specific price Emma, you can negotiate with the distribution manager Sean, but it is important. Sid snapped his fingers, "After the movie, so Chris, I want you guys to move to Los Angeles." ”

Chris (Nolan) and his wife and brother looked at each other a few times, and then smiled slightly: "We do want to develop in the United States, but we still have some affairs to deal with in the UK, and we need to discuss before we can determine the specific time." ”

"That's fine, do you need any help if you move to Los Angeles?" Sid thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you do that, it's my agent, Ali Emmanuel, who is the owner of a brokerage company." When you're moving here, you call him and he'll help arrange the manpower and help you with the things of your life. ”

"Oh, okay, thanks. Chris (Nolan) took the slip with the phone number on it and nodded. Although he often traveled between the United Kingdom and the United States in his early years, moving here with his family is inevitably different from a work trip, and having the help of locals will definitely save a lot of effort.

"So. When the main business was settled, Sid and Chris (Nolan) and the others stood up, and Sid smiled and shook Christopher Nolan's hand again: "Welcome to Hollywood, Chris (Nolan)." ”

――――――――――――――――――――

After taking over the future Nolan family, Sid's mood suddenly became happy for several days. Even the post-production work with "Warm Corpse" is much more efficient.

November 4, 1998 was the first Wednesday of November. Sid's first feature film "Little Sunshine Beauty" is about to be released on this day.

Although it is not a big-budget movie, it is the first public film of its own boss, so Fire Lion Pictures still sent an invitation to the media and held a premiere. But because Sid doesn't want to be extravagant, after all, "Little Sunshine Beauty" is not a commercial production, but more for the awards season.

So "Little Sunshine Beauty" did not hold a grand premiere, but under the design of Sean and Shirley Sandberg and others, the premiere was arranged small but exquisite, which just catered to the title of "Little Sunshine Beauty".

When Sid got out of the limousine, he was startled. Reporters and photographers crowded the sides of the red carpet, flashing lights and shouting rushing in to make it almost as if they were in the wrong place.

The red carpet was lined with reporters with cameras, while across the street was packed with fans. Seeing that it was Sid who got out of the car, the crowd that had been screaming suddenly erupted into a louder scream.

Sid straightened his clothes and waved at the media, the flash flashing incessantly, and Sid turned back to the fans across the street and smiled and waved. Although because of the fresh style of "Little Sunshine Beauty", this premiere was not very Cheng human.

But there are still a lot of girls in evening gowns on the red carpet, such as Sid, who saw Jeremy holding a tall model and preparing to enter the theater.

Sid found himself arriving late, with several of the main actors already in there, presumably all of them already bombarded by the media and reporters.

But Sid, the director, was bombarded the most intensely, which is actually very understandable, after all, as a movie without real commercial (award) actors, Fire Lion does not have the resources to invite too many big stars to help the red carpet. Of course, Sid doesn't care about this, and there are never fewer premieres of bad movies full of big names.

But he underestimated the enthusiasm of the reporters and fans present, and after saying hello, Sid, who wanted to go inside, was immediately stopped.

"Sid, Sid, can we ask you a few questions?" shouted a Los Angeles Times reporter at the red-carpet entrance.

Since he was stopped, Sid had no choice but to nod and walk to the camera to answer. Although Sid has been interviewed by Oprah's talk show and Time magazine in succession, other interview requests have been denied. Coupled with the fact that he lives in the wooded Hollywood Hills, which is guarded by security guards, reporters and even paparazzi can't do it if they want to take candid pictures.

So the premiere has almost become the only way for these ordinary media to reach Sid. So their enthusiasm is understandable.

"yes, I'm really happy that Little Sunshine is coming out, I try my best to do my best, and I just want the audience to enjoy it. Sid said with a smile.

"Sid, according to fan reviews at the Toronto Film Festival, three of your short films were well received, do you have any thoughts?"

"I'm glad that people liked my short films, because it was a new thing for me at the time. YouKnow, the transition from DV movies to real movies, although there are many challenges in the middle, but through hard work and growth, I have taken another step forward. Sid said.

"What do you think of the news that your short film will be selected for the Oscar?"

"It's definitely an honor for Well to have chemistry with Oscar, but everything is decided in the academy. Sid cautiously expressed his gratitude, but there were no extra words, smiling on the surface, but in fact it was slippery, so that the media reporters could not speak.

Originally, generally speaking, the reporters at the premiere were all invited by the film company, so they must all sing praises, but because of the low-key and exquisite premiere style of this film. Many reporters asked to come knowing that Sid would be there.

So their problems, rarely, have some hidden pitfalls, and of course, they don't dare to go too far.

"Sid, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Come on, have you ever lived in a welfare home? It's a complete social disaster, and you wouldn't want to find a girlfriend there. Sid shrugged, and his words immediately drew laughter from reporters.

Sid suddenly felt a figure emerge from behind him.

He turned his head to see Lindsay in a bright yellow tailored dress with a delicate black belt around her waist. Her whole person looks clear and bright, and it also complements the theme of today's movie, which must be one of Sean's plans.

"Hey, look who's coming, my 'little sunshine'. Sid said with a smile, the reporters had obviously met Lindsay, and Lindsay greeted the media with a familiar smile.

They snapped pictures of Sid and Lindsey standing together.

"Hey, Lindsay, do you like filming with Sid?" one reporter asked with a laugh.

"Of course, Sid's brother is the best director I've ever met. Lindsay's "innocent and childlike" words drew a smile from reporters.

After chatting with the reporters for a few words, Lindsay suddenly showed a sly smile and said, "Do you know what I like most about Brother Sid?"

"What?"

"What I liked the most, he was always sweet as a boyfriend. Lindsay's words immediately drew laughter from the reporters.

"Really?" "Haha. ”

Sid raised his eyebrows, what kind of play is this little girl? But Sid didn't hesitate, he shrugged his shoulders and smiled and said to reporters, "OK, Guys, this is my new girlfriend, Lindsay Lohan." ”

"Haha-" The reporter laughed as he took a picture of them.

After walking into the theater from the red carpet and finding a corner, Sid smiled and pulled Lindsay who was holding him in front of him, "Say, what bad idea are you playing?"

"No, I can have any bad ideas. Lindsey said innocently.

"Really?" Sid smiled, but pinched her cheeks with both hands, and Nizi was quickly defeated.

"Well, they'll bully me. Lindsay turned her head and muttered, "It's so good to that blonde stupid girl, bullying me every time, woo~~~"

Sid reluctantly took Xiao Nizi into his arms and patted her on the back gently, "Okay, don't cry." You also know that Britney is my girlfriend, and of course I'm good for her. ”

"Then you said you were single in front of the media just now?" Xiao Nizi said with angry eyes.

"Hehe, you're going to run me off. Sid smiled and pinched Lindsay's cheek.

"Then you're going to come and see me once a week from now on. Lindsay said in a crisp voice asking for advice, and Sid realized that behind Xiao Nizi's puffed expression, there was a lonely look.

"Well, once a week. Sid agreed with a sunny smile.

"Really?"

"Yes, really. Sid nodded, then pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes from the corners of Lindsay's red eyes.

But at this time, Lindsay, who had tears in her eyes a moment ago, suddenly showed a sly look in her eyes. Sid just felt that something was wrong, and Xiao Nizi suddenly leaned forward, and her small mouth was imprinted on Sid's lips.

As soon as Sid wanted to react, Lindsay had already stood up and ran out, and a string of silver bell-like laughter remained: "Hehe, now you are my boyfriend, you can't run away." ”

This little girl, Sid touched her lips with a smile, and shook her head helplessly as she looked at the figure running out.
