"Really, big brother?" asked Alison.

"Well, of course, I'm never a liar. Sid winked and laughed.

"Thank you. Alison thanked her with a little smugness.

After the performance, a few more people chatted, and Allison couldn't help but ask: "Well, our school is leaving New York the day after tomorrow, big brother, can't you really come to watch me play?"

"Well, I've been quite busy all this time, and I'm really lacking in skills. Sorry, Alison. Sid said with a faint apology.

"No, it's me asking too much. Allison couldn't help but bow her head.

Sid couldn't help but furrow his brows, and then changed the subject: "Then do you like music very much?" Allison. ”

"Well, yes. Speaking of what she liked, Alison's interest was a little higher, and she nodded.

"And what style of music do you like?"

"Country music, country music, of course," Alison said with certainty.

"I see. Sid wasn't surprised by the expected answer, "Then when it comes to country music, it has to be Nashville." ”

"Well, that's good. Alison nodded happily, and then she said with a dark look, "I've always wanted to talk to my mom and dad about Nashville, but they've always said I'm too young and need to wait for me to make a decision." ”

"Hehe, moving to Nashville is not a trivial matter, and I think you do need to give your dad and mom a little time. Sid smiled faintly.

"Oh, I see, big brother. Alison said yes, but it was clear that she didn't think so.

"Also, I think the best thing you can do right now is to keep learning music and writing songs. Sid said, "Only if your parents see your actions, I think it will be more powerful than any words." ”

"Haven't you ever written poetry, Alison, then you should know the saying, 'Facts speak louder than words!'"

Sid's words made Allison face up to the curve for the first time, "Does this work?"

"Of course. Sid nodded and smiled, "When I was a child, I used this method to convince my parents to become a family. ”

"Oh, that's good. Hearing Sid's "personal experience", Alison immediately ignited her fighting spirit.

"Oh, it's been this time. Sid looked at his phone, it was almost 9 o'clock in the evening, "Then I'll take you back to the hotel." ”

"Well, okay, big brother. Alison nodded.

When a few people came to the back door of the hotel where Alison lived, Alison began to reluctantly pull the corner of Sid's clothes, "Then, I won't see my big brother in the future?"

"Hehe, not necessarily. Sid smiled faintly, "As long as you stick to the path of music, we will meet sooner or later." But you, now that you go back with your guitar, will you still be bullied by those girls?"

Speaking of this, Alison couldn't help but shrink her neck, and then she straightened up her small body again, and said stubbornly: "Hmph, I'm not afraid of them!"

"Alright then, Alison, goodbye. Sid nodded, as if he didn't see the strength in the little girl's eyes.

"Well, goodbye, goodbye, big brother. Seeing Sid turn around and leave so simply, Alison said subconsciously in a bit of confusion, but when she reacted, her eyes immediately turned red.

At this moment, Sid, who had walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and then turned back in Alison's surprised eyes, Sid half-squatted down and smiled slightly: "Since I can't be by your side all the time, then I'll send a bodyguard to continue to protect you on my behalf." ”

"Bodyguard?" Alison tilted her little head in confusion.

"Hmm. Sid nodded, and as he spoke, he pulled a ...... out of his coat pocket with a "whoa——!

"Teddy Bear!"

Allison was pleasantly surprised to see the teddy bear in Sid's hand, and the bear's belly was still printed with "I am your bodyguard".

"This is Kim Jr (Little Kim), and from today it will be your bodyguard Luo. Sid smiled and raised the teddy bear in his hand.

"Hee-hee, thank you, big brother. Allison accepted it with joy when she saw Hunter, then hugged Sid and kissed him on the cheek.

Then the little girl turned around shyly and trotted upstairs.

Sid touched the still warm lip prints on his face, and couldn't help laughing, "I was actually counterattacked by a little Lori?"

————————————————————

When the time came to December, not only did Allison leave New York with the school, but as the filming of "Begin Again, Music Changes Lives" progressed, the pre-shooting of the whole film was finally completed.

After a month of preparation and a month of shooting, Sid was finally able to return to Los Angeles to work on the post-production of "Begin Again."

As a fully live-action film, there is almost no special effects research, so lighting, color grading, music, and sound effects have become the most important links, and this has to be based on editing.

Because it was filmed, there was no pre-editing at all, but all the film footage was specially designed for digital format and then edited in one go.

In order to speed up the pace of editing, Sid brought in an entire editing team and locked up with them in the editing room at Universal Studios around the clock, doing everything possible to complete this vital work.

For this movie, which has added a lot of free performance elements, Sid needs to grasp relatively more points, plus many scenes are to pursue the matching of pictures and songs. So Sid put the record directly in the editing room, so as to match it on the spot, and see if the footage of those shots can really be used.

And just when Sid was immersed in the editing of the new film, Hollywood's year-end schedule finally ushered in a long-lost blockbuster - "Ocean's Eleven" directed by Steven Soderbergh, who just won the Oscar for Best Director!

This movie, which brings together many A-list stars such as George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and Matt Damon, has finally swept away the market chill caused by 911.

The $38 million debut in the first week was the top spot at the North American box office, which is quite good for a film to be released in November.

The $22 million box office in the second week and $14 million in the third week also showed the film's strong box office curve, which managed to break the $100 million mark in just three weeks.

Even after entering the Christmas schedule, "Ocean's Eleven" has rebounded for two consecutive weeks.

Such a film about the plot of the deception, wearing a dark humor style, can be successful. Not only did it excite the whole Hollywood, but it also made director Steven Soderbergh more stable.
