Chapter 119: Music Changes Lives

It is precisely because of "heart-warming" that "My Grand Greek Wedding" can sweep all directions in "history", and it is precisely because it is not "heartwarming" that Britney's "historical" three majors will return and fail, and even later there was a phenomenon that Britney's songs are not popular.

Far from it for the time being, since Sid wants to maximize the "use" of the sudden effect of 911, then the opening of the charity concert is just a small test after all, and returning to the movie itself is what should be done.

So Sid can move directly to "My Grand Greek Wedding"?

Unlikely.

Because the film is actually based on the personal experience of Nia Vadalas, the screenwriter and actress-turned, she and her husband met on set, and as in the film, because the husband is not of Greek origin, the two struggle to get the marriage accepted by both families.

"My Grand Greek Wedding" can be seen in large part as a semi-autobiography of screenwriter Nia Vadallas, an experience she later wrote into a one-man play that was staged in small theaters in Los Angeles.

Her performance has attracted many Hollywood stars and producers, and what really made her one-legged drama a movie was because she met the nobleman Tom Hanks.

According to Ali (Emmanuel), Tom Hanks now knows about the play and has also contacted several main creators, and the project is currently being prepared by Tom Hanks' production company, with Tom Hanks himself as the producer.

With an A-level star like him as a bag, it will not be a problem to shoot and release the movie.

So it is unlikely that Sid wants to cut off his beard, and it is obvious that Tom Hanks, as a North American treasure-level actor, is also very keenly aware of the collective psychological changes of the post-911 public.

Of course, Sid didn't expect to rely on someone else's script to win in the first place, and he had better options.

"Wow, Sid, this "Begin Again" is awesome!" Jeremy Renner put down the script.

"Do you need to ask? This is Sid's brother's movie. Lindsay next to her raised her head triumphantly.

"Well, I've always had unconditional faith in Sid. Amy Adams, who was next to Xiao Nizi, also said with a smile.

"Hehe, even if you pat me on the back, it won't do any good. Sid smiled slightly.

"No, no, I mean really, I really like the structure of this two-line flashback, it's very innovative and very much in line with the style of the story. Jeremy is now half a TV actor, but his taste in scripts and movies is on the rise.

"Begin Again: Music Changes Lives" can be regarded as a musical film, about two protagonists, the male and female protagonists, one is the girlfriend of a rising singer from the UK, and the other is a music producer who was once brilliant and now down.

The heroine Greta's boyfriend is a new rock star, and although the two who first came to New York were sweet at first, the boyfriend quickly split up. And the male protagonist Dan is a frustrated music producer, despised by his daughter, fired from his company's partner, and finally had a big fight with his divorced wife.

Greta, who lost love, lost the direction of life in the strange New York, and Dan, who lost everything, lost the courage to live in the familiar New York.

Just as Dan was about to commit suicide by jumping off the rails, the late subway made him have to postpone his suicide plan, and speechless, he took the opportunity to a bar, where he heard Greta performing in the bar, and he found that he had found a piece of jade!

Two frustrated and failed people come together because of their love for music, and when they create a new CD, they will also face their past step by step and regain their love for life and music.

Such a film full of frustration, music and reshaping life, no matter how you look at it, coincides with "My Grand Greek Wedding" "Heartwarming".

What's more, the name of this movie is also called "Begin Again", no matter from which point of view, it is definitely the most suitable movie for the moment.

Since the film has been chosen, of course, the next thing is the actors, and this movie is actually about a very personal emotional experience, so of course Sid has to use his own descendants.

Jeremy, who has just turned 30, happens to play Dan, the actor who has failed in life, while Amy Adams, who has just turned 27, is on par with Greta's youthful setting, and Lindsay is just right to play Dan's adolescent daughter.

With this Iron Triangle protagonist lineup, the next thing is much easier, whether it is the original actor Catherine Keener who plays Dan's ex-wife, or the black actor who plays Dan's partner, and the future actor Jamie Fox.

Jamie Fox, a crossover actor and singer like Will Smith, has the flavor of a music company boss, and it doesn't need to be carved to be very convincing.

It's just that after such a circle, Sid and others suddenly found that the original set, the actress Grace, the male number two Dave, and the male girlfriend Steve from England became a problem.

Anyone familiar with English knows that there is a world of difference between American and British pronunciation, and Sid doesn't want to be complained about like Anne Hathaway in "history" when he plays the British.

Amy Adams is urgently learning the pronunciation of English under the guidance of her language teacher, especially for her lines.

But obviously, Amy Adams is a genius, and it is impossible to fully learn English in a short period of time, so the two characters of the male number two and the male girlfriend are needed to play on the side to alleviate this problem.

After all, in the original "history", the second male lead in this film was also played by Adam Levy, the lead singer of Magic Red in North America.

So Sid doesn't think it's a problem with the heroine Grace of "Bag Dropping", but the remaining two important roles really can't be sloppy.

"Is that all?" asked Sid, looking at the mountain of cast profiles piled up in front of him.

"Yes, Boss, these are British actors of the right age collected by major agencies and Mr. Ali Emmanuel. New assistant Ray Warner nodded.

After months of background checks and mailroom experience, the future "Mother of Chainsaws" finally stepped in as one of Sid's new assistants, handling his work on film.

"Wow, that's a lot. Lindsay on the side exclaimed curiously.

"yes, you think that every time we start shooting, the preparations fall from the sky. Sid smiled and pinched her nose.
