Chapter 52: New Friends

While Lindsay and Amanda Seyfried were laughing, the adults on both sides naturally greeted each other. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Well, hello. We are Amanda's parents, I'm Jack and this is my wife Ann. Amanda's parents came over to greet Sid.

"Oh, hello. I'm Michael, and this is Lindsay's mom, Tina. Although Luo Han and his wife were a little surprised, they also reacted quickly and greeted each other.

"So, your daughter is also an actress?" Amanda's father asked curiously.

"Yes, she grew up doing things, so we just tried to fulfill her wishes. Michael Lohan turned into a "good father" who thinks about his daughter?

"Ahem. Sid coughed twice, and Michael Lohan immediately remembered that Sid was still around, and he immediately gave a stir, and Amanda's parents looked at Sid.

Michael Lohan hurriedly introduced to Amanda's parents: "This is ......"

"Hello, Mr. Seyfried, Ms. Seyfried, I'm Lindsay's brother Kim. You have a lovely daughter. Sid smiled and held out his hand to Amanda's parents.

"Hello, thank you, your sister is lovely too. Amanda's parents smiled when they heard Sid's praise for their baby daughter.

Sid King Leonhardt, this is Sid's full name. And this middle name gold, according to the documents of the welfare home, still comes from his grandfather in the East.

So Sid will also use this name as a pseudonym when necessary, after all, the name Sid Leon is too eye-catching in Los Angeles. Sid didn't want to be surrounded by rabid fans or actors who were hungry for opportunities.

In Los Angeles, a clerk at a coffee shop or a waitress at a restaurant could be one of the more than 400,000 registered members of the Screen Actors Guild. Sid doesn't want to be harassed all the time when he goes out.

In order to come out with Lindsay today, he also made a little disguise, put on dark contact lenses to hide his demon pupils, and with a golden wig, he could completely make people who were usually impressed by his black hair not recognize him.

"Brother, Amanda said there's a rock band club, can we go and see their show?" asked Lindsey as she hopped up.

"Well, okay, let's go check it out. Sid nodded.

Immediately a group of people went to the band club, although it was a little strange that Sid, a young man, was actually the talker of Lindsay's family, but Amanda's parents wisely did not say much.

After all, if there's one thing that's going on in Los Angeles the most, it's all sorts of weird celebrity anecdotes, especially those of Hollywood's star families.

Although Amanda is still only a small actress in a small supporting role in a soap opera, her parents also know some "inside stories" more or less, so they immediately decided to ignore these after seeing that Lohan and his wife were following Sid's arrangement as usual.

When the group came to the activity room of the band club, the experience performance inside had already begun, and Sid and his party hurriedly got in through the back door. I don't know if I don't go in, and I'm scared when I go in.

It turns out that this band club is actually a rock and roll band, of course, they are not hardcore rock or death rock. On the contrary, it sounded to Sid a very modest ordinary style.

But the problem is, it's still 1999. In the market, the popular group is still TeenPop, a youth idol group. And rock 'n' roll, like hip-hop, belongs to a complete teenage subculture.

Sid really didn't expect that Piergraim College, an elite college, would also allow rock bands to exist. Of course, when the band members on the stage performed, the faces of many parents who came with their children to the gold collar had become quite stinky.

However, Lindsay, the "bold" little girl, pulled Amanda to listen quite energetically, and she deserves to be the topic queen of rock and roll CDs in "history", and she is naturally quite fond of this rebellious style.

After a few performances, the students in the audience were quite enthusiastic and excited, and couldn't help but jump and wave their arms to the band's music.

"It's nice to have a youthful passion. Sid and a group of parents stood at the back of the recital room, looking at Lindsay's laughing and dancing among her peers, and couldn't help but sigh with a slight smile.

Uh, how old are you to let out such an old man's exclamation? The Lohan couple and Amanda's parents next to them couldn't help but roll their eyes.

At this time, Lindsay suddenly ran over, she smiled and took Sid's hand, "Brother, let's dance together, don't stand behind like an uncle." ”

Sid couldn't resist Xiao Nizi, so he had to smile and walk with her into the dancing students, and Amanda saw Lindsay and Sid, and also smiled and came over to pull Sid to jump.

Bouncing around a group of "peers", Sid felt a long-lost vitality emerge. Well, he's only 17 or 8 years old now, and it's not bad to be able to relax and have fun in a youthful way at the right time.

"Hee-hee, Brother Sid, you're dancing so badly. Lindsay, the little girl, saw Sid's slightly clumsy dancing posture, and immediately "laughed" mercilessly.

Sid immediately rolled his eyes, didn't you pull me in? Seeing Sid's expression, Lindsay immediately smiled and took Sid's hand and said, "Follow my movements, Brother Sid." ”

To the beat of rock 'n' roll, Lindsey took Sid with him as he swayed and danced. I have to say that Xiao Nizi really deserves to be a good singer and dancer since she was a child, and Sid was able to dance to the rhythm of the band soon under her guidance.

"Wow, Lindsay's brother, you actually dance so well?" Amanda said in surprise.

"Hehe, it's Lindsay who taught well. Sid chuckled, "Besides, you can just call me Kim." ”

"Oh, yes. Amanda nodded and asked, "Na Kim, are you also a high school student at this school?"

"I? I've long since graduated from high school. Sid shrugged.

"Eh, are you already a college student?" Amanda asked, surprised.

"No, I'm already working. Sid and Lindsay looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

"Wow, so powerful!?" Amanda showed a puzzled expression, "No wonder I think Brother Jin is so familiar, are you also an actor?"

Uh, why do you all think I'm an actor?

Sid expressed dissatisfaction, why can't the director be young?

"Hehe, almost. Sid laughed, and at this time the band was just over, and the students on the "dance floor" were scattered, and Lindsay came up and grabbed Amanda, "Amanda, why don't we go and ask if this club accepts people?"

"Oh, yes. After all, Amanda is still a child, and three or two sentences were diverted by Lindsay, and Xiao Nizi winked at Sid slyly.

Sid couldn't help but pat his chest happily, "Whew~~, are children so keen these days? ”

Sid's assistant, Justin Lin, walked over and handed over his phone, "Mr. King, there's a call, it's Mr. Barry Weiss." ”

"Oh. Sid raised an eyebrow, took the phone, and walked out of the classroom to a secluded part of the hallway, "It's me, Barry." ”

"Oh, hello Boss. The voice of Barry Weiss, CEO of Fire Lion Records, came across the phone.

"What, what's the matter?" asked Sid.

"Well, we've been in contact with EMI EMI, and their CEO, Jim Furfield, is coming to Los Angeles next week, and he's agreed to meet with us, and we can meet at his hotel next Wednesday. Barry Weiss said succinctly.

"Well, next Wednesday, good. Sid didn't expect the negotiation to be so fast, and he smiled slightly with satisfaction, "Good job, Barry, you can come over with me when the time comes, and see how I negotiate." ”

"Okay, Boss!" replied Barry Weiss in surprise.

Although Sid made very few moves, whether it was the earliest formation of Fire Lion Pictures, or the later reorganization of Fire Lion TV, and the acquisition of his original Jive records from Sony, it is a rare and amazing case in the shopping mall.

Especially as one of the current high-level leaders of the Fire Lion Group, Barry Weiss knows the amazing talent of Sid, a young baby-faced boss. So he immediately excitedly agreed.

After the call, when Sid returned to the bandclub, he saw Amanda arguing with his parents, and it seemed that Amanda still had a few tears in her eyes.

"Well, what's going on?" asked Sid, looking curiously at Amanda.

When Lindsay saw Sid come back, she immediately ran to him and said, "The seniors of the band club, they are going to perform in the underground concert this afternoon, and they are asking if we have anyone who wants to go and see it." Of course, only students can go, and parents are exempted. Amanda wanted to go, but her parents wouldn't let her go alone. ”

Then Sid heard Amanda's father sternly say, "It's one thing to be a model and an actor, it's another thing to go to some underground concert with the person you just met." Underground concerts, listening to the name, is not a good place. ”

"But, Daddy...... , I really want to go, please, daddy......" Amanda's plea obviously had no effect.

Her father interrupted directly: "No, so I said that coming to Los Angeles to go to high school was a wrong decision, you should go back to New York with us to go to school." ”

"Eh......!!" Amanda immediately cried with a sad face, not to mention any concerts now, and she had to be imprisoned back in New York to go to school, which was simply a loss to her wife and soldiers.
