Chapter Ninety-Four: Two Great Geniuses
"Wow, that's nice. Sid and Nancy nodded heartily.
"Thank you. Cate Blanchett smiled and thanked her.
"Nasid, it's your turn. Nancy Meyers looked at Sid with a wicked smile.
"Me?" Sid pointed at himself strangely, "Nancy, are you blatantly lazy as a director?"
"I call people to make the best use of their talents and things. Nancy Meyers smiled and said, "Besides, whether we are the director or the star, we are all gathered together because of you, shouldn't you, the initiator, be responsible?"
It turned out that "Spice Mom and Hot Girl", which was only participated by Lindsay alone in "history", was able to gather Nancy Meyers, the first comedy director today, Cate Blanchett and Lindsay, acting supernovas, all because of the lineup that Sid gathered through multiple connections and relationships behind the scenes.
And now the three women and girls all looked at Sid with a smile: "Yes, Sid, you are the one who started everything, don't think about it so simple to be the shopkeeper." โ
"OKOK-" Sid smiled and spread his hands, even if he faced the "coercion" of three large and small women, he had to surrender with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll talk about it. Sid nodded.
In fact, "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" is an old Disney movie in 1977, which was played by legendary actress Jodie Foster as a daughter.
This kind of drama in which parents and children, who were originally full of contradictions and fierce antagonisms, began to understand each other because of the exchange of bodies, is actually not uncommon.
Among them, in addition to the original 70s "Hot Mom and Hot Girl", in the classic Japanese drama "Father and Daughter Seven Days Change", there is also a humorous and very wonderful description of this.
This is also the reason why Sid chose this "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" movie, "Although this comedy movie seems simple, because there is a part of the exchange of mother-daughter souls, the requirements for the actors will be higher." โ
"This is easy to understand, generally speaking, whether it is a gender swap or an identity swap, it is a big challenge for the actor to perform another role in the film. โ
"Wellโโ, it's like Lindsay, you played two roles in "A Natural Pair". Anne from the United Kingdom is a beautiful and little lady, while Holly, who lives in the United States, is a passionate little cowboy. Sid looked at Lindsay with a smile, and explained with her neodymium work.
"It was in the film. In addition to the differences in appearances such as clothing and hairstyles, in order to better distinguish the two characters, you have made an effective distinction between the two characters in terms of behavior, facial expressions, and even micro-expressions and micro-movements. โ
"These strategies are simple, but they are very effective, allowing the audience to understand the characters of Holly and Anne at a glance. โ
When Xiao Nizi heard Sid's praise, she couldn't help but feel a little shy: "Thank you." โ
Sid smiled and continued: "Pseudo-sci-fi comedies with soul swaps like "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" are actually not uncommon in the world. And when it involves parents and children swapping identities, the actor who plays the parents always performs better than the actor who plays the child. Do you know why?"
"Is it because of different experiences?" Cate Blanchett said.
"Not bad!" Sid smiled and nodded, "It's actually quite simple, all adults have had childhoods, like me, Kate and Nancy, we all know what our childhood is like, and we know what our friends' childhoods are like. โ
In this way, for example, if Kate is now played Anna, the daughter of the soul swap, she can easily grasp the image of a rebellious teenage girl who looks rebellious, but is actually insecure. โ
Sid's words made several people nod their heads, especially Lindsay's eyes lit up and she listened attentively, she hadn't dissected and mastered a movie and character so comprehensively for a long time.
"And Lindsay, if you want to perform the mother Tess after the soul exchange, the biggest difficulty is that you have not experienced adulthood, so it is difficult to understand the behavior of some adults, and it is relatively difficult to express it naturally. Sid's words are simple and simple, and it is obvious that the grasp of the two protagonists of "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" mother and daughter is quite accurate.
Even Cate Blanchett, the nascent acting queen, couldn't help but admire: "Sid, you really live up to your reputation." โ
"Thank you. Sid responded with a polite smile this time.
"So what do we do with Lindsay's acting?" asked director Nancy Meyers.
"It's very simple, we've been here scene by scene. Sid smiled and suggested a seemingly fanciful approach.
"Scene by scene?" asked Lindsay, a little surprised.
"yes, you don't think I'm annoyed here all the time, do you?" asked Sid with a smile.
"Brother Sid!" Xiao Nizi couldn't help but sneer.
"Okay, so let's start with Tess dropping Anna to school, mother and daughter, and their youngest son, Harry, in the car. "Nancy Meyers has no doubt about his skills in comedy films, but when it comes to his ability to train actors, Sid is even better.
Starting from the first half of the script, the group discussed a series of main scenes one by one, to say that this is actually just a family comedy movie, but several people present are as serious as if they were treating world masterpieces.

"Mr. Pei, can I talk to you?" asked Lindsay.
"I don't think it makes much sense, but let's talk about it. Sid read the script with the script.
"I'm half-dead with all my brains...... I mean, how could I possibly take an F?" Lindsay asked, "I mean, what did I do wrong?"
"Scoring is a very subjective thing. Sid said triumphantly.
"My dissertation is at the level of a college student. Lindsey said unconvinced.
"Are you qualified to say that?" asked Sid, mockingly.
"Actually, I do. Lindsay replied with her hands on her chest.
"ell, to paraphrase the lines of "Hamlet" - the wood is finished. Sid smiled faintly.
"That's a line from "Macbeth", you just said it wrong......" Lindsay, who was originally excited, suddenly stopped, narrowed her eyes, and stepped back slightly to look Sid up and down, as if she recognized something.
Then she pointed at Sid heavily, "Edon, Bay, Eaton, Greyfin Public High School?"
Sid looked surprised, his eyes wide and asked, "How do you know what high school I attended?"
