"So, what made you start writing?" Oprah asked in a solemn voice, "because according to the media, you are ...... Grew up in a welfare home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes, you're right. Hearing this topic, Sid couldn't help but become serious, "I am indeed an orphan, in fact, if you know a little, you should know that the orphans in the welfare home, our lives ...... It's definitely not lighthearted. Many people have grown up traveling back and forth between several foster homes. ”

"We don't call ourselves Americans, we call ourselves gypsies. Sid's words made many young people in the audience secretly wipe away tears, "We don't have a home, we only have our own backpacks." I was lucky enough to have been living in the San Nando Institution since I was 6 years old, and I didn't wander around. ”

"But even then, you will find that it is very difficult to make friends in the welfare home, because you don't know if the people you know will be here tomorrow. So, I just have to fantasize about some of my friends, just like a lot of kids when they were younger, except that I write them down. ”

"So, you've been writing novels since you were 6 years old?" Oprah keenly grasped the message in Sid's words.

"So to speak. Sid thought for a moment and nodded.

"Wow......" Oprah exclaimed in unison with the audience, "you are indeed the Mozart of fiction, Sid." ”

Mozart is known as a genius because he began studying music at the age of 4 and made his first tour of Europe at the age of 6. And Sid actually started writing at the age of 6? This is a complete copy of Mozart.

"All I can say is that it's an honour to be on par with Mozart's genius, and to be honest I don't know if I can do what he did, but I'll try. Sid nodded.

"In less than a year, The Da Vinci Code has sold 5.5 million copies worldwide, and now tops the New York Times bestseller list, and all three of your new books have landed in the top 10 of the bestseller list. How do you feel about this?" Oprah asked.

"Have you sold so much?" asked Sid, surprised.

"You don't know?" Oprah asked rhetorically.

"I really don't know. Sid spread his hands and smiled, "My agent is lazy and will call me unless there is something important." Sid's decisive act of throwing the pot to the agent made the audience laugh.

"Is there anything you'd like to say to the readers and fans of the new book?" Oprah asked with a smile.

“OK。 Sid smiled and thought for a moment, "First of all, mothers, this Desperate Housewives is a gift for you, and I hope that when your children and husband are not at home, it will help you have a fun night, so that you can at least hate me a little less." ”

Sid's words caused the audience to burst into laughter again.

"'24 Hours' is my foray into a new spy novel, and I hope Tom Clancy's fans will enjoy it. ”

"As for "Lost", it's for all imaginative friends, don't be afraid to be a BlackSheep, Strange (weird) is nothing, it's good to be brave and be yourself, don't be afraid. Sid's words caused heartfelt applause from the audience.

"Well said, well said. Oprah also clapped softly and laughed.

"OK, let's get back to the movie, I know a lot of people can't wait. Oprah's words drew chuckles from the audience.

"Your/place/neodymium/work - "Ghost Shadow" has been repeatedly mentioned by many media, with a low cost of $10,000 and a box office of more than 100 million now. But what I want to ask is, how did you come up with the idea to create such a new genre of cinema as DV cinema in the first film?" Oprah asked.

"Hehe, at first I just thought that it would be interesting if you were shooting something with a DV and suddenly a ghost popped up on the screen of the DV that you couldn't see in the real world. Sid touched his chin and said, "Later, I found out that a lot of people are convinced of the content of the home hand-shot camera, so by extension, I thought of combining realistic home footage with horror elements." ”

"En. Oprah nodded repeatedly, "Then how did you decide to make this movie? I know, you were only 16 years old at the time, you had just become independent from the welfare home, and you didn't have much money." ”

"Well, speaking of which. Sid laughed, "This can be done, I must say, I have been helped by many people to get to where I am today." At that time, I had just come out of the welfare home, and in order to support myself, I found a job. ”

"What job?" Oprah asked, instructively.

"The crew, one of the best jobs in Los Angeles. Sid laughed.

"And what do you do?"

"The assistant director, in fact, is a miscellaneous worker. Sid laughed, "But it's a good job for me, with food and shelter, a salary, and no tiring work." ”

"It was there that I met my first Bole, Mr. Charles. With Sid's words, a photo of Old Man Charles' gray hair and blazing eyes appeared on the screen behind him and Oprah.

"Mr. Charles was a producer at the time, and after he recruited me into the crew, not only did he not despise me because of my age, but he also helped me contact Random House after learning about the novel I wrote. And when "Ghost Record" was preparing, I was also helped by Jeremy. ”

"You mean the male lead in Ghost Record?" Oprah asked.

"Not bad. Sid nodded, and the screen behind them changed to Jeremy Renner's picture again, "He helped me connect with a couple of supporting actors, and he and Amy (Adams) helped me a lot while they were shooting." Because we were all making movies for the first time, we had a lot of ideas and shooting methods that we came up with as we were shooting. ”

As the interview deepened, Oprah found that the black-haired boy on the other side was like a sea with a calm surface, and the more he explored, the deeper he became, he was not only sophisticated, but also slippery and flawless. Oprah asks him why he made the film, and he answers that it was thanks to the help of his friends that he got to this point, singing the praises of the greatness of friendship and at the same time portraying himself as kind and reliable.

This is like a teenager! He is simply a shrewd and capable business elite and a media expert.

Looking at Sid's laughing and laughing appearance on the TV, Britney Spears sitting on the sofa outside the recording room had a sweet smile on her face, and she was fascinated by it. She thinks this issue of "Oprah Talk Show" is particularly good-looking and interesting.

"Britney, what's wrong with you? Friscia asked, confused.

"No! Nothing. Britney quickly turned her head, but her flushed cheeks betrayed her.

"Oh, you don't like this Sid Leonhardt, do you?" Friscia's words inadvertently struck Britney's mind.

"Who, whoever said, I don't have it. Britney said with a smile on her face.

"Oh-, suspicious~~~. Friscia chuckled.

While Britney and Friscia were frolicking because of Sid, Oprah on the screen said: "Although "Ghost Record" has been a great success, there are also many media outlets that say that you should go to college to study film rather than get involved in real film films. As far as I can tell, these negative statements are not slowing you down. ”

"Of course. Sid nodded confidently, "Since these people want to see it, how can I not satisfy their curiosity?"

"So......?" Oprah asked with a smile.

"So I've already made a few short films that I'm going to show at the festival in the second half of the year. Sid's seemingly nonchalant words immediately aroused Oprah's interest.

"You've already made a short film?film movie?" Oprah asked in surprise, of course, surprise is pretended, after all, Sid's appearance on the show is too important, they have already had several rehearsals, and Sid and Oprah and others also know the next steps.

"Well, I actually brought a short film today, if you're interested, why don't you watch it?" Sid asked with a confident smile.

"Of course!" Oprah's answer was greeted by cheers from the audience.

Although Sid's move to create DV movies is a bunker in the eyes of ordinary audiences, in the eyes of industry professionals, they still only regard Sid's so-called "directing" ability as a child who does not enter the stream.

Because holding a DV to shoot a film from a first-person perspective, and forming a real crew to shoot in a team is completely different. Whether it is professionalism or management, it is not something that a layman who has only played DV can play.

But now Sid says he's made a short film, a real film film, and the curiosity of the fans and the audience in front of the TV is immediately piqued.
