"I'm excited to be working with a Hollywood prodigy. Arnhorne Milkan said with a smile.

"It's amazing. Ali on the side high-fived and celebrated.

"On behalf of the Fire Lion, I welcome you to the team, Arnhorn. Sid also smiled faintly and stretched out his hand.

"Waiter, last bottle of champagne, we're going to celebrate. Ali turned to the attendants.

The trio raised their champagne glasses, and Arnold Milkan asked, "What do we wish for?"

Sid said meaningfully, "Celebrate that we've made new friends." ”

"Then I wish my new friends. Arnhorne Milkan nodded thoughtfully.

"New friends!" the three of them clashed their glasses.

————————————————————

With Arnhorne Milkan and his production team on board, they were able to take care of most of the production chores of "The Departed," and Sid could finally focus on preparing for the shoot.

In addition to the preliminary preparations of the crew, the most important problem at present is, of course, the two male protagonists who have not yet been filled, and this is also the most important problem that Sid is currently solving.

"Little Plum is still not good?" Sid looked at Arnone Milkan, and the other party nodded helplessly.

"Steve (Spielberg's) "Cat and Mouse Game" is going to start filming next month, and Leonardo has already signed with their crew, so it's impossible to come to us now. ”

After Sid and Arnhorne Milcan came up with the temptation to hit the Oscars, Tom Cruise soon joined the crew, but Sid estimated that the other party was likely stimulated by Nicole Kidman's Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for "Moulin Rouge" this year.

After all, in the ten years that the two have been married, Nicole Kidman can only be regarded as a second-rate actress who is half red and not purple. Now that the two have just divorced, Nicole Kidman has risen rapidly at the box office and awards one after another, how can today's Hollywood No. 1 person endure it?

But even with Tom Cruise joining, Sid and they are still missing the last of the four main characters, Billy, an undercover gangster played by Xiao Lizi.

Sid originally wanted to find the original version of Xiao Li Zi to play, but Xiao Lizi, who has joined the crew of "Cat and Mouse Game", even Arnone Milkan can't dig it up.

"Then forget it first, I'll think about who else I can use, let's prepare something else first. Sid scratched his hair helplessly, the luxurious lineup of the four superstars was poached, even Sid couldn't think of a solution for a while, the male stars of the right age are either too poor in acting skills or not famous enough, in short, it is difficult to realize Sid's "Four Kings Showdown" idea.

"Oh well. Arnhorne Milkan nodded.

Assistant director Justin Lin continued: "Boss, the studio set and exterior locations in Toronto are almost found, and you need to go to Toronto to review the current set. ”

"Next week, then. Sid scratched his hair and said, preparing two movies at the same time, and sure enough, he was busier than ever.

The set and filming of "The Departed", which will start filming in the first half of the year, will take place in Canada, while many of the sets and ship construction of "Pirates of the Caribbean" have not yet begun, and it will take a long time to build sets and props on both sides of North America in the future.

"Eh, isn't there a better candidate?" said Sid, who had finished his day's work, returned to the Sunset Villa, muttering to himself as he got out of the car.

"Welcome home, Brother Sid. Lindsay's little Nizi suddenly appeared in front of Sid.

"Lindsay, why are you here?" asked Sid, confused.

"Today is the beginning of spring break, we came over to accompany Brother Sid, and Mom and Dad are also here, we didn't set it at Christmas last year. Xiao Nizi said with a smile.

Then she looked Sid up and down again, "Brother Sid, when did your memory become so bad, don't you have the ability to remember instantaneously?"

"Hehe, I've been so busy lately, I've been a little unconscious myself. Sid smiled and nodded his head, smirking.

"Brother Sid, your eyebrows are furrowed again, this is not good, it is easy to get old. Seeing Sid's tired appearance, Lindsay immediately jumped in front of Sid, stretched out his hand to stroke Sid's forehead, and said.

"Hehe, Lindsay will still feel distressed. Sid smiled and patted Nizi's head.

"Hmph, of course, I'm much better than some blonde idiot. Lindsay puffed up her little chest and said proudly.

"Lindsay—" Sid said helplessly, tapping Nizi on the head.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about her. After Lindsay pouted and "complained" for a few words, she asked curiously again: "Brother Sid, what were you worried about just now?"

"Oh, it's a recent movie. Sid smiled slightly.

"What movie?"

"It's the Departed. Sid shrugged, "I originally wanted Xiao Lizi and Tom Cruise to play opposite each other, two generations of top Hollywood idols, and it's a far dream." ”

"But?"

"Xiao Lizi was cut off by Spielberg, and now I can't think of a good replacement for the time being. Sid shrugged helplessly.

"Brother Sid, don't you have any candidates in mind?" asked Lindsay curiously.

"Ell, I can't say no. Sid said, "I'm thinking about Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, or Heath Ledger. ”

"I like Brad Pitt!" Lindsay said excitedly.

"I like it too. Sid smiled faintly, "But whether people are willing to come to the performance or not, that has to be said." ”

"Brother Sid personally invited, and he didn't dare to come, I really don't know how high the sky is......" Xiao Nizi immediately jumped up, Sid smiled and grabbed her, covering her next words.

It turned out that the two of them had left the garage and came up to the living room, although today's party was not big, but in addition to the Lindsay family, there were some maids and housekeepers at home, the world of Hollywood seems to be far away from ordinary people, but this circle is actually very small.

And gossip is the easiest thing to spread in this circle, although Sid is not afraid of offending these big-name stars, but more is better than less, especially Lindsay is still young, there is no need to offend these possible future collaborators.

"Oh, Sid, you're back!" Sid and Lindsay had just entered the living room when they met Lindsay's father, Michael Lohan.

"Well, thank you guys. Sid smiled and nodded.

"It's not hard, it's not hard. Michael Lohan laughed repeatedly.

The violent drunkard of the past seems to have become a harmless good father to individuals.
