"Whoa, whoa, whoa—" echoed through the Los Angeles Concert Hall, and many young audience members were still whistling and shouting.

The cast and cast of "Juno" stood up and listened to the cheers in the theater, they didn't have to ask too much about the quality of the film, the smiles and excitement on people's faces spoke for themselves. The creators of "Juno" hugged and shook hands, and they happily congratulated each other.

Mark Ruffalo and Amy Adams congratulated Sid one after another, while Lindsey took his hand and screamed excitedly. As for film critics, Roger Ebert, the king of North American filmmakers who was specially invited to the premiere, couldn't help but smile when he looked at Sid who walked on stage with the actors.

This little guy is really not simple, a "teenage early pregnancy" theme that is extremely hot in the eyes of outsiders, but in his hands, he takes "early pregnancy" as the skin of the film, and the real ambition contained in it is completely different feminist ambitions and youth supremacy.

Jason's escape, the representative of adult men, and the growth of his little boyfriend Rick are completely Sid's own reflection and interpretation of the old and new generations of North American men.

"Eh, this Sid is amazing. Several film critics next to him applauded and said to each other.

"Awesome is awesome, but how to write this movie review. Another colleague complained with a wry smile, "What a cunning director, Sid has said everything, but the sleek one has not offended anyone." Whether it's Republicans who oppose abortion or Democratic Democrats who support women's rights. ”

Sid stood on the stage, surrounded by the stars of "Juno", Lindsay, Joseph, Mark Ruffalo, Amy Adams and many more. The audience was a self-developed audience, and they were all full of smiles and applause.

It wasn't until the host of the premiere made repeated statements that the audience calmed down the excitement in their hearts and quieted down.

"So, you're having a good time?" Sid said with a slightly self-deprecating smile at the first sentence, which caused a lot of laughter in the audience, and the reporters had already gathered under the stage, and the cameras with guns and sprints kept "clicking".

"Yes!" "Of course!"

The fans in the audience shouted excitedly.

"Huh——, it seems that I won't be unemployed for the time being. Sid patted his little chest exaggeratedly and smiled.

The fans in the audience couldn't help laughing, and the faces of some film critics became not so good-looking. Therefore, many people said in the press that Sid's "crazy" frequency would sooner or later end his directorial career.

Even though Sid previously broke similar doubts with "Little Sunshine Beauty" and "Earth Thunder", with the failure of "Earth Thunder" at the Oscars this year, such remarks seem to have made a comeback.

In this era when film critics in newspapers and magazines dominate the word-of-mouth of films, although it is difficult to say whether there are ulterior motives behind these undergraduates. After all, a director like Sid who is simply a boss is like Spielberg of DreamWorks, as long as they still make films for their own film company, other big studios will still have trouble sleeping.

What's more, Fire Lion Pictures has also gained independent distribution channels in North America and the strength of premiering thousands of theaters.

This is like the "historical" Paramount's media attack on Tom Cruise, where literati kill without seeing blood, and if the other side is really allowed to grasp the trend of public opinion, then even Sid has to be cautious.

But now, Sid once again used a perfect answer sheet - "Juno" to break the public opinion attacks of these ill-intentioned people.

Within a week of the premiere of "Juno", all major newspapers and media in North America have come up with their own fresh film reviews, the first of which is the film review of the king of film critics Roger Ebert in the "Chicago Sun" - "Juno is a film full of aura and amazing! Whether it is Lindsay Lohan's surprising performance or Sid Leon's whimsical directing ability, this film is the most anticipated film of the year." Two thumbs up!"

Following Roger Ebert, "Variety" magazine also published their professional review - "Juno" once again unabashedly shows Sid Leon's genius directorial talent and aura of film content. A seemingly tricky early pregnancy subject is easily transformed into an excellent film full of novelty, cool and warm in his hands. ”

And the New York Times pointed out the core of the film - "Juno is Sid Leonhardt's most feminist ambition film, but it is different from other similar films that are more form than content." In "Juno", Sid silently presents the image of an independent and confident young woman, Juno. Not only does she have a rebellious and personality that people love, but she also has a convincing growth and innocence. ”

As for the "Los Angeles Times", which has always been "fond of" Sid, it unabashedly praised the actor - "Lindsay Lohan, the hope of the new generation of actresses!"

"Lindsay Lohan, who is only 13 years old, plays a 15-year-old pregnant mother, this news itself is exciting enough, but what is even more surprising is that under the tutelage of Sid Leonhardt, Lindsay Lohan has done this task brilliantly, not only completed, but also excellent beyond many people's imagination. ”

"The film's characteristic sense of color and ethereal inspiration fills the shots as always, but it is more natural and soft, and people unconsciously enter the world of Juno. Whether it's playful slang, distinct dialogue, or emotional characters, all of this becomes magical and personal in Sid Leon's hands. ”

In addition to these mainstream newspapers and magazines in North America, more than 100 newspapers and magazines in North America have successively published their own film reviews of "Juno", and the unexpected praise has made "Juno" reach more than eight levels.

Such a one-sided praise even Sid himself was a little surprised.

At the same time, the film's box office performance also reflects the film's positive rating.

Although the opening weekend of "Juno" was the traditional off-season in early September, it bucked the trend and topped the North American box office charts with a score of $10 million. and the summer champion "Mission Impossible 2", which has been released for 16 weeks, is not on the list with a score of more than 300,000.

In the second week of the following week, due to word-of-mouth, "Juno" did not fall but rose at the box office, reaching $16 million on weekends and $21 million if you add in the weekday box office.
