But all these roles, when they alternate in Zhan Yimei, do not have the slightest disobedience, on the contrary, his performance is not only quite convincing, but also very infectious.

And Zhan Yimei's performance method is to strike a balance between the experience school and the performance school.

After Sid discussed the roles of the new film with Lindsay and Kate, Nancy Meyers and others were officially included in the filming stage, and Sid also returned to Universal Studios and re-engaged in the post-production work of "Spider-Man", although Sid had already finished editing the film.

But a large wave of post-production work such as mixing, recording, and special effects is still waiting for Sid to complete, and the work of "Spider-Man" is only half completed.

But on the other hand, another important film of Fire Lion's cooperation with Sony, after several years of preparation and shooting, it is finally time for release.

On July 20th, the much-anticipated "The Da Vinci Code" was finally released in North America, and both book fans and Sid's fans had already lined up in long lines outside the cinema.

A number of big-name stars also came to the premiere of the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, and now the popular Tom Hanks and Sophie Marceau, the French rose, appeared on the red carpet one after another, attracting a burst of cheers from reporters and fans.

But in fact, at the beginning of the filming, many book fans were very dissatisfied with the old Brother Tang, who had begun to gain weight day by day. forced Tom Hanks to work hard to lose weight while growing scholarly long hair.

If "Harry Potter", which is starting to explode now, is the new British literary master, then Sid's "The Da Vinci Code" is a well-deserved No. 1 in North America.

For this, it is difficult for people who are not in North America to imagine the huge influence of "The Da Vinci Code", which involves religion, humanities, and conspiracy theories, has gone far beyond the realm of ordinary suspense.

Four years later, when the film version of The Da Vinci Code was released, the well-known New York Times writer Namiel Demier once again looked back on his legendary experience.

At that time, the North American world was already occupied by popular writers who showed off hot scenes and thrills.

At that time, bestsellers such as Shelton, Collins, Wallace and others created best-selling books again and again, and at the same time, they also lowered the taste of North American book lovers again and again. The violence and purity of the text that is purely sensory has become a vulgar but sensational gimmick, and it has been a long time since North American readers experienced the truly excellent.

And in 1997, Sid brought his virgin work "The Da Vinci Code" to the public, sweeping away the malaise of the book market and raising readers' tastes again to a golden age of yesteryear.

Whether it is Sid's use of postmodernist non-linear narrative mode in this work, or his clever use of suspense and overlapping techniques in the narrative, it shows that he is far beyond ordinary people's genius.

What's even more commendable is that Sid's writing in China is concise and fresh, which makes the North American audience who have been "edified" by a group of popular artists for a long time like a drought, and also makes the entire book market refreshing.

Looking back at Sid and "The Da Vinci Code" now, it only makes people sigh even more that it was born at that time, and it is no wonder that there are still people who call Sid "Mozart of the world", and the global sales of "The Da Vinci Code" still exceeded the unprecedented 40 million copies.

Definitely one of the best-selling and most well-known in the world today.

Even after Sid's transition to Hollywood as a director, his influence in the world and among readers and fans has not diminished, and while it is important to keep new every year, the solid foundation created by "The Da Vinci Code" cannot be ignored.

So when Sid walked on the red carpet alone, the scene immediately erupted in unprecedented enthusiastic cheers, even the previous heroes and heroines Brother Lao Tang and Sophie Marceau were not as good as them.

Although Sid was a little surprised by the enthusiasm of the scene, he still communicated and signed autographs with fans and reporters at the scene.

"I'm happy with Nolan, and I'm relieved that he will adapt The Da Vinci Code. Because I know that he loves the original work no less than any fan, and he is also a very good director. In an impromptu interview on the red carpet, Sid was very supportive of the film's British director, Christopher Nolan.

In fact, for the use of such an unknown rookie director, both fans and Sony have complaints.

Originally, Sony wanted Ron Howard to come and direct, but because of the schedule conflict due to the preparation of the new film "A Beautiful Mind" with DreamWorks, Ron Howard finally withdrew from the director's list.

At the same time, because Nolan was the director chosen by Sid himself, everyone reluctantly accepted this decision in the end.

But today is the time to test all the results, if Nolan's adaptation of the director is a little inappropriate, I am afraid that it will not be as simple as a storm to greet him.

"Sid, thank you for giving me this opportunity and for supporting me so much. When Sid came to the Dolby Theater and sat behind Nolan and the others, the future director thanked Sid nervously.

"Relax, I believe in you, Chris. Sid smiled faintly and comforted him.

Then the film began to be screened.

Although the media reviews from the second day of the premiere were mixed, the biggest controversy for critics about the film was the balance between the film adaptation and the original.

And it turns out that with Sid's original work in front, it is difficult for even Nolan to make much of a breakthrough, and the film's adaptation of the plot can be described as decent.

But for the vast number of book lovers all over the world, isn't the movie based on the original work exactly what they want?

"The Da Vinci Code" grossed $28 million in North America on its premiere day, $27 million on Saturday and $21 million on Sunday.

The three-day box office in the first weekend exceeded $77 million, directly landing on the top of the North American box office list. The Da Vinci Code continued to be second with $34 million in the second week and fourth with $26 million in the third week.

This box office curve shows the film's extremely strong box office vitality, and it also entered a new record at the North American box office with a box office record of breaking 100 million in 7 days of release, and it also completely detonated this year's summer file.
